You're My Belated Happiness - Chapter 30 Part 3

You’re My Belated Happiness
Chapter 30 Part 3

Ruan Yu figured that Liu Mao wouldn’t post the schedules on purpose since he didn’t even know the existence of Mr. He. The only possibility then was that Xu Huaisong had suggested he do so– –as Xu Huaisong was the only other person who knew about it.

Then how could Xu Huaisong also know that she was also being invited to the birthday party?-- –In other words, Xu Huaisong very likely already knew that she was also Mr. He’s student from the same high school.

But if he knew about it, why didn’t he say so directly to her and instead use such a roundabout way to entice her to go to the party? 

He seemed to know very clearly that the reason why she didn't want to go was because he would probably go since she was afraid that the truth about her novel would be exposed.

Once she realized it, the answer was quite obvious.

The noise of cheering fans came from the TV. But in Ruan Yu’s present world, all the screaming and cheering seemed to be coming from the background some distance away.

She covered her mouth in amazement. After a while, she said to herself: “Have I…… been exposed a long time ago?”

On Saturday, Ruan Yu went to pick up her parents to go to Su City as planned.

In the past few days, she made many assumptions about Xu Huaisong over and over. In the end, she found all the assumptions were meaningless at this point. The place where she could find the real answer would be at the birthday party.

If he used the excuse “there was an unexpected change in my work schedule” to show up at the party, then Ruan Yu would conclude that he should have known that he was the male lead in her story a long time ago, since it wouldn’t be possible to have so many coincidences. He tricked her to go to the party because he believed that she would be too cowardly to go.

But if Xu Huaisong didn’t show up at the party, then everything would just be her own imagination.

They arrived at Su City at 11:30 am. Ruan Yu got out of the car with her parents in front of the restaurant and immediately glanced over at the nearby parking lot.

She didn’t see Xu Huaisong’s car there.

Ruan Chengru took a look at her: “You seemed absent-minded all the way here and started looking around right after getting out of the car. What are you looking at?”

Ruan Yu: “Hehe, I’m checking the surroundings so I can protect you and mom.” Then she put her arm around Qu Lan’s arm and said: “Let’s go in.”

The waiter showed them to the banquet hall for He Chong’s birthday party.

They were late to the party since they had to come all the way from Hang City. The 20 tables in the banquet hall were packed already. The food hadn’t been served yet and people were gathered in small groups chatting and reminiscing.

There were many people surrounding He Chong talking to him.

Ruan Yu quickly glanced over the whole room.

Her target wasn’t present.

She lightly breathed out in relief.

What kind of person had she thought Xu Huaisong was? In the past two days, he had sent her greetings three times a day. If he knew about the truth long ago, how could he watch her and pretend as if he was watching a monkey show?

Ruan Yu comforted herself that human nature couldn’t be that sinister and mean.

Ruan Yu followed her parents to greet Mr. He.

Ruan Chengru and Qu Lan then were taken by He Chong to meet the rest of their former colleagues. Ruan Yu suddenly heard someone calling her from behind: “Ruan Yu?”

She turned around and found her old classroom president Zhou Jun was standing not too far away. Seeing her turn around, Zhou Jun said in surprise: “Hi, it’s really you! I was thinking that I might be able to see you today!”

He walked up and said: “Long time no see. You didn’t even come to our class reunion last year. Now you come to Mr. He’s birthday party. You’re being a stranger to us!”

Ruan Yu laughed as she greeted him: “I happened to be quite busy at the time. I’ll be there next time.”

“Are you still staying in Hang City?”

“Right, I came over specifically for the party.”

“Then……” The tone in Zhou Jun’s voice seemed to suggest something interesting: “Xu Huaisong is also staying in Hang City?”

Ruan Yu paused, but nodded.

Zhou Jun immediately became excited and lowered his voice to say: “Let me pry as the representative of all the classmates of Room 9 and 10, you two are?”

Ruan Yu could only smile: “Hehe.”
