Lin Yi glanced back at her. "Isn't there still someone who hasn't left?"

Huo Mengyan hesitated. "He might not have enough money."

After all, Zhao Yu usually relied on her money for eating, drinking, and having fun, as he claimed he had invested all his own money into the company and had no spare funds.

Lin Yi shrugged. "So what? Should you go back and pay for him?"

If this girl really went back, there would be no saving her.

Fortunately, Huo Mengyan only hesitated for a few seconds before firmly saying, "I won't go back and pay for him. He has used so much of my money before; it's only fair that he pays for this meal."

Lin Yi finally showed a relieved smile. "That's more like it. Let's go home."

Huo Mengyan nodded. "Yes."

However, her emotions were a bit complicated at the moment.

On one hand, she felt like she was leaving the past behind and starting anew.

On the other hand, she had just ended a relationship that lasted two or three years, and it was her first love. No matter how one looked at it, her heart felt a little sour.

With these thoughts, Huo Mengyan sat down somewhat dazedly in the passenger seat of the sports car.

Before she could start feeling sad about her lost love,

suddenly, an energetic and dynamic tune filled the car.

Her brewing sadness instantly dissipated.

She stared blankly at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi, while adjusting the music, said, "What's wrong? Are you going to wallow in self-pity over a jerk? I'll tell you, it's not worth wasting a single second on someone like that. Instead, let's play some celebratory music to mark the occasion."

Huo Mengyan: "...Okay."

Mainly because, regardless of whether she felt sad or not, the intense rock music made it impossible to feel melancholic.

Thus, Huo Mengyan quickly recovered from her failed relationship.

At this moment, Lin Yi drove forward.

Initially, Huo Mengyan didn't notice, but then she realized something was off. "Sis-in-law, this doesn't seem to be the way home, does it?"

Lin Yi didn't hide anything. "Yeah, your second brother said he's coming home for a couple of days. We're going to the airport to pick him up."

Huo Mengyan was confused. "My second brother?"

Could it be that he came back because of her relationship issues?

Did her failed romance affect so many people?

Lin Yi casually said, "You two haven't seen each other in a long time, right? This is a good opportunity to spend some quality time together."

Huo Mengyan: "..."

She felt like she was about to get scolded for being so foolish earlier.

When they arrived at the airport, Huo Mengyan timidly stayed in the car, not daring to get out.

Lin Yi didn't force her and went to pick up Huo Shi alone.

At the airport entrance,

a large group of Huo Shi's fans were already waiting.

After all, as a celebrity esports player, Huo Shi had plenty of supporters.

A few days ago, Huo Shi led his team abroad for a competition and was returning today, so his fans had timed their arrival perfectly to greet him.
