"Jie, just now, what did brother-in-law say? I had already seen dad's face darkening then." Lin Xiyue had drawn Su Jin's arm close and asked in curiosity.

"Hem." Thinking back to how her father had just said it would still be a long time before she would get married and how Lu Xi had commented about changing another ring for her after she had graduated- Su Jin coughed lightly as she covered the chuckle that was at the edge of her lips and shook her head, "nothing, you must have mistaken it there."

"Really?" Lin Xiyue's limpid eyes blinked while she was still somewhat suspicious.

"I'm sure that you have mistaken it, come, let me introduce you to some friends." As Su Jin said this, she pulled her over as they walked before some girls who were standing by the side and began to introduce these people to them.

Girls with similar ages, naturally also had many similar conversation topics and after chatting together for a while; Zhou Qian and Wang Zhe who were initially rather reserved had become lively. Availing of this right moment with her engagement, they had Mu Qing and Lin Xiyue to help urge Su Jin to drink some alcohol.

Seeing the multi-coloured specially blended cocktail in her hand, while being rather troubled, Su Jin had frowned.

After all, she had grown up in a rich and powerful family, therefore she had attended to all sorts of dinner parties, as a result, the original host's liquor tolerance was not too bad. Mm, in her own body, her liquor tolerance was actually quite all right too. She was fine with beer, white and red wines too. Only, it was a pity that she could not drink cocktails and had always had collapsed after drinking one glass. She had no idea why either and she had actually brought this strange quirk along with her after transmigrating over to this world. Now, if she had really gulped down this glass of special concoction, then she would undoubtedly become drunk.

While she was trying to find a reason to excuse herself, she heard a voice from the edge of her ears.

"Xiao Jin."

Raising her head to look over, a woman in a deep blue sheath dress came into Su Jin's view.

"Ming Xuan jie." Standing upright, she had politely nodded towards her.

Since there was no longer a layer of the relationship of her being Su Jin's future older sister-in-law anymore, then as far as she was concerned, she (Ming Xuan) was merely a person that she had a little more familiarity with.

Seeing her polite yet estranged attitude, Ming Xuan immediately understood as she lightly sighed, "Xiao Jin, the matter about Ah Yue[1] and I......"

[1] Ah Yue here is a nickname for Su Yue, Su Jin's brother, similar to the diminutive nickname for Su Jin, 'Xiao Jin.'

"Ming Xuan jie." Su Jin interrupted her as she continued, "Gege has already told me about this, nobody is to blame for it. It was only having the fate of being star-crossed lovers."

"He had already told you?" Ming Xuan was stunned and soon after, she relaxed with a nod, "this is fine too. I had come over to thank you."

"Thank me?" Su Jin had blanked out for a little while.

"With regard to Xiao Kai's matter." Ming Xuan nodded with a smile, "to thank you and Mr Lu."

"You're welcome, with some luck, we had merely just run into such fortuitous timing." Hearing this, Su Jin had slightly inclined her head.

"Regardless, for Xiao Kai to be able to be found, this is all thanks to the two of you." Ming Xuan had resolutely replied as she politely bowed towards Su Jin and left after giving her goodbyes.
