“It’s on the second floor. Let’s go up first.”

The two of them walked upstairs. Zhu Sui looked left and right as they walked.

Liang Xun sensed it and asked, “What are you looking for?”

Zhu Sui: “My younger sister. Yesterday, she pestered me to get her an invitation. She said she wanted to bring her best friend over. Let me see if she’s here yet.”

Liang Xun nodded and didn’t say anything. He already knew that Zhu Sui had a sister, but he had never seen her before. When Zhu Sui mentioned his sister, he was like a chatterbox. The most he talked about was that his sister had changed. When she was young, she was so soft and cute, but now she wasn’t cute at all.

Even if she wasn’t cute, he would talk about his sister every day happily.

He was hopeless.

Liang Xun instinctively looked in that direction. The girl was still sitting there, but she was no longer alone.

A man in a dark gray suit sat opposite her. The two of them were talking about something. The girl had a smile on her face, but it did not reach her eyes.

Liang Xun frowned and turned around. He instinctively wanted to walk over, but fortunately, he held himself back in time.

He walked up to the second floor step by step, looking straight ahead. However, an unknown fire rose in his heart, burning him until he almost exploded on the spot.

Zhu Sui looked around the first floor but didn’t see his sister. He took out his phone and was about to make a call.

A commotion suddenly broke out not far away. He held his cell phone and looked in that direction.

However, before he could see what was happening, Liang Xun had already walked over quickly.

“Holy sh*t.”

Zhu Sui cursed under his breath and quickly put away his cell phone to follow.

Jing Yao was waiting for Zhu Ling, but before Zhu Ling came, a man in his forties sat down.

He claimed to be a director and even said a few of his representative works.

Although Jing Yao couldn’t remember who this person was, she remembered that Zhu Ling had worked so hard to help her, so she decided to be patient and chat with him.

She did not expect that person to start touching her after just a few words.

Jing Yao hadn’t been feeling well recently. She often felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. Zhu Ling felt that she was a little malnourished and even asked her to eat more meat, but she felt like vomiting whenever she saw meat.

She had just drunk another glass of wine, and she felt so uncomfortable that she felt like vomiting.

Feeling unwell, the anger in her heart intensified. She couldn’t be bothered to feign civility with the director anymore. She stood up and wanted to leave, but before she could take a step, someone grabbed her wrist.

Jing Yao tried to break free but failed. In a moment of desperation, she raised the wine glass on the table and smashed it on the man’s head.

She used a lot of strength, and the man’s head instantly bled. He raised his hand to wipe it and raised it to his eyes. His eyes instantly turned red. He didn’t care about the occasion at all. He held Jing Yao’s thin wrist tightly with one hand and tried to slap Jing Yao with the other.

Jing Yao couldn’t break free at all and closed her eyes in fright.

However, the expected pain did not come. She only heard a scream.

Jing Yao opened her eyes and saw a tall man standing in front of her.

“Let go.”

With a dark face, he grabbed the director’s hand that was about to slap Jing Yao. The director grimaced in pain and instinctively let go of Jing Yao’s wrist.

“Thank…”

Before Jing Yao could say “thank you”, she suddenly felt like vomiting. She instantly lowered her head and ran to the bathroom.

Zhu Sui caught up and saw this scene.

“What’s going on?”

Liang Xun glanced at Jing Yao’s back and said, “Stay here and deal with it.”

With that, he walked towards Jing Yao without looking back.

Zhu Sui was dumbfounded.

Who was that lady just now? Why was Liang Xun suddenly meddling in other people’s business?

Could it be someone he knew?

Or…

Zhu Sui thought of a possibility and wished he could rush up and watch the show.

His good buddy, who had always been otherworldly, had fallen in love at first sight?

Pfft! What love at first sight? Was he lusting after her?

Liang Xun didn’t know how he was criticized. He followed behind Jing Yao and saw her enter the washroom.

Liang Xun stood at the door and could see her bending over in front of the sink, vomiting desperately. After hesitating for a moment, he walked in and patted her back.

Jing Yao finally felt better after a long time. She rinsed her mouth and turned around.

Before she could thank him, Liang Xun asked with a frown, “How much did you drink?”

“…” Jing Yao.

What was with this questioning tone that sounded like a parent taking care of a child?

“One glass.” She held out a slender finger.

After answering, she looked at the person opposite her seriously. The man was tall and handsome. He could be ranked in the top 10 in the entertainment industry. However, she searched her mind and could not find any information about this person.

I don’t know him!
