Since her friends had left, Shi Gao could only make her way to Lin Yu and the others.
Lin Yu had naturally stayed by her mother-in-law's side, and the two were fawning over and heaping flattery upon Madam Shi—Xu Yun—together. Seeing that Shi Gao had come over, Lin Yu shot her a look, told Han Yuan she was taking leave from the group, and went to the restroom with Shi Gao.
Lin Yu heaved a sigh of relief when she touched up her makeup.
Shi Gao chuckled, "You must be exhausted. Accompanying a group of old ladies and listening to them talk about boring things has got to be tiring."
Lin Yu smiled detachedly and added some powder to her nose. "Why didn't you come forward and chat with all of us? Madam Shi seems to have a good temper. She's quite direct and tells it like it is. She's very easy to get along with."
