Chapter 179 Consider it an admission of mistake
The next morning.
Gu Mingxi sat at the dining table, glanced at the empty seat opposite her, and frowned slightly. "Where's Shen Feiwan? Why hasn't she come down for breakfast yet? Is she still sleeping at this hour?"
Shen Mo put down his porridge bowl and said calmly, "Her friend invited her out for a walk to clear her head, so she went to the airport early this morning."
Gu Mingxi was taken aback, then her face darkened. "When did she tell you? Why didn't I know?"
Shen Mo said, "It's because you were too fierce. She was afraid you would get angry, so she told you. She contacted me last night."
"You actually told me last night?" Gu Mingxi was even angrier, her voice rising several decibels. "Then why didn't you tell me last night?"
Shen Mo sighed helplessly, "You went to bed early last night. You finally have a few days to rest, and I don't want to wake you up."
Gu Mingxi simply put down her chopsticks. "Look at her now! Who can control her anymore? She comes and goes as she pleases. Is this still a home? She spends more time in hotels than at home!"
Shen Mo reached out and patted the back of her hand, his tone comforting, "It's also our fault for being too busy. When we're busy, we often don't go home for months at a time. We can't just leave her all alone at home, can we? It's good for her to have a good friend with her."
Gu Mingxi glared at him, "You should just spoil her!"

airport.
After they reunited, Chen Youen kept looking behind Shen Feiwan, glancing left and right.
Upon seeing this, Shen Feiwan reached out and turned her head back to the right side, saying, "Stop looking, my older brother isn't here."
"Why?" Chen You'en asked, looking disappointed. "Couldn't your older brother have come to see you off?"
Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow. "I didn't tell him I was leaving today at all. And he has to go to work today."
"Huh?" Chen Youen sighed, "Why is it so hard for me to see the person I love?"
However, she quickly recovered from her depression and looked at Shen Feiwan, saying, "Do you think Lin Xiaoyan will have a heart attack if he finds out you ran away?"
Shen Feiwan sneered, "I don't care, he deserves it no matter what."
Chen Youen nodded in agreement, "That's right, he was disgusting back then. Belated affection is worthless, a dog of a man is a dog of a man, what's with the pretense of deep affection? He ignored you back then, but now he's acting like a love saint, it's really nauseating."
Shen Feiwan was amused by Chen Youen's words. She put her arm around Chen Youen's waist and said, "You really are my dear friend. Your emotional support is off the charts. You're always on my side."
“Of course,” Chen Youen raised her chin. “Good friends unconditionally side with each other. Even if it’s your fault, I’ll choose to turn a blind eye. —By the way, what are the arrangements when we get to Huashi?”
"Have lunch, take a nap, and then go see Shu Yao."

The scene of a high-end investment forum lecture in Huashi.
Those who can come are all people of status.
The venue, which can accommodate 500 people, was packed to capacity.
As today's special guest, Shu Yao delivered a concise and insightful speech that resonated deeply with the audience, each point resonating powerfully. Dressed in a sharply tailored white suit, her confidence and composure made her shine on stage, becoming the center of attention.
"...Investing is not just a numbers game, but also a prediction of the future and an understanding of human nature."
As she finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted in the hall.
As she stepped off the stage, industry leaders in the front row shook hands and chatted with her, and many offered their business cards.
Shu Yao responded with a smile, her every gesture exuding composure and elegance.
Seeing her former senior sister so successful, Chen Youen couldn't help but lower her head and whisper to Shen Feiwan, "Senior Sister Shu Yao has been doing better and better these past few years, but she couldn't have done it without your investment and help in the early years."
Shen Feiwan smiled and said, "We've helped each other succeed. I've also made a lot of money from the projects she values."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I love seeing women shine in their fields, reaching the top and standing at the pinnacle. You see, men have to bend down to shake her hand."
Chen Youen nodded, her tone tinged with regret, "It's a pity you're too low-key, otherwise you could also be the center of attention like this."
As she spoke, she glanced at Shu Yao in the front row, frowned, and said, "With so many people here, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to talk to her."
Shen Feiwan stood up and straightened her clothes. "I made an appointment with her for tonight. I just came today to see how radiant she is."
Chen Youen also stood up, and the two left their seats one after the other.
As I walked out of the venue, a young man was returning from outside after answering a phone call, still holding his cell phone in his hand.
As he brushed past Shen Feiwan, he suddenly froze, his steps involuntarily halting.
Shen Feiwan and Chen Youen didn't notice him at all and walked straight outside.
The young man stood still, his gaze following their retreating figures, his brows slightly furrowed.
He was Bo Junxing's assistant, and he never expected to run into Shen Feiwan here!
He subconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to return to Bo Junxing and tell him the news.
But when he remembered that his boss had told him not to report any news related to Shen Feiwan to him anymore, he gave up the idea.
Just assume that you mistook someone for someone else.

Riverside Elegance is an elegant and unique Chinese restaurant located in the most bustling riverside area of Hua City.
The restaurant is decorated in a classic Chinese style, with wooden screens, celadon ornaments, and carved window lattices, exuding elegance and charm. Seats here are always in high demand, especially the riverside view spots, which require reservations weeks or even months in advance.
However, Shu Yao booked the best spot just one day in advance—a four-person table by the window, facing the river with a wide view.
As night falls, the bustling cityscape of Hua City comes into full view.
Boats lined the river, their lights gleaming, reflecting on the shimmering water like a flowing painting.
In the distance, the neon lights of skyscrapers flashed incessantly, and high-tech LED screens scrolled through various advertisements and information, showcasing the city's vitality and innovation.
As a national center for science and technology and information technology, Huashi is home to countless top companies and talents, and its vibrant nightlife is truly dazzling.
As the hostess, Shu Yao handed the menu to Shen Feiwan after ordering the restaurant's signature dishes, saying, "Take a look and see if there's anything else you'd like to eat. The dishes here are all pretty good."
Shen Feiwan took the menu, flipped through a few pages, ordered a few dishes that she and Chen Youen liked, then put the menu down and looked at Shu Yao with a smile.
"Senior, how come you look younger and more radiant? Do you have any tips to share?"
Shu Yao chuckled, "It's probably because things have gone smoothly these past few years. If I had to pinpoint the secret, it would be to have control over the conversation and make the decisions myself. That makes me feel at ease."
