Coco also dropped a like on Liu Man's post and commented: "This table of barbecue food looks so delicious! Where is it? I want to go next time."

Liu Man privately messaged Coco and sent her the location.

Coco replied with a "xoxo" emoji.

Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina also liked her post.

Li Xiaoru commented: "I knew my Man Man is unique and has a high taste. Having a barbecue on New Year's Eve!"

Wang Nina asked her, "Are you still in Shanghai? Why are you staying there for so long? What are you even doing there?"

Before, Liu Man sent a photo of herself in Shanghai in WeChat. Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina both knew she was in Shanghai, but at first, they thought she was only there as a tourist and an AJ collector. Because the past Liu Man traveled to Shanghai twice just for her AJs, which both Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina knew.

The problem was, why did it take two weeks to buy her AJs? Why wasn't she spending her New Year's Eve back at home?

Wang Nina was starting to suspect Liu Man.

Liu man replied, "I'm on a part-time job here, and I'll be back in the capital next week."

Wang Nina continued to ask, "What kind of part-time?"

Li Xiaoru: "Nana, you're so annoying with all your questions. Can't you give her a little privacy?"

Wang Nina: "I think there should be no secrets between good friends."

Li Xiaoru: "Your personality just makes me speechless."

Seeing how suspecting Wang Nina was, Liu Man steadied her decision of not telling her about the part-time acting job.

Liu Man didn't block her mother in her moments, so Zhang Pei also saw her post.

Zhang Pei directly called her. As the phone rang, Liu Man told Yu Zhan, "It's from my mother."

Yu Zhan nodded, stood up, and walked away a few steps to leave her some space and privacy.

Liu Man picked it up, and Zhang Pei's anxious voice came, "Man Man, where are you at right now? Why aren't you back at your hotel at such a late time?"

"I'm having a barbecue at a restaurant behind the hotel, and I'll be back soon."

"Who are you eating with? Your colleagues from the cast?"

"Yes, there are many people, so don't worry. It's also in the center of Shanghai, so it's very safe."

Liu Man lied out of a good intention to assure Zhang Pei.

TL's Note: For those who don't know much about WeChat, Zhang Pei doesn't have Qiu Jing as a contact, so Zhang Pei couldn't see Qiu Jing's comments nor Liu Man's reply to her. This is why Zhang Pei doesn't know about Liu Man being with Yu Zhan.

"Are you still at grandparents'?"

"Yes, your grandpa, grandma, uncle's family, and aunt's family are all with me. We're having a good time; can't you hear the noise?"

TL's Note: By aunt, Zhang Pei meant her sister. So this aunt isn't the uncle's wife or anything.

Liu Man heard noisy sounds, slapstick noises from children, and chats from adults.

"Since you are with your colleagues, I won't bother you anymore. Let's talk about other things when you return to the capital," Zhang Pei said.

"Okay," Liu Man said after half a second of pause, "Happy New Year, Mother."
