Finally, Ye Shu found CEO Xing and greeted him. CEO Xing sized up Ye Shu and revealed a satisfied smile. “Accompany me to meet a big client later!”

Ye Shu did not dare to refute and could only nod in agreement.

She did not want to create trouble for Mu Xiao, so she tried her best to maintain her conscientious image in the company.

Since CEO Xing had personally requested her to do something, she couldn’t be careless.

Ye Shu dutifully followed CEO Xing throughout the event.

From time to time, some men would come over to greet President Xing and talk about some topics that Ye Shu did not understand. She only knew that the glances they cast her way made her feel uncomfortable. She endured the discomfort and tried her best to mask it.

“Wait for me here,” President Xing said and left with his assistant.

“So you came with an old man!” The woman from earlier walked over and looked at her from the corner of her eyes with a mocking smile.

The friends around the woman also laughed mockingly.

Picking up the wine glass, the woman turned her body to the side and slightly raised her arm. Ye Shu did not want to bother with her. She was looking downstairs with her back facing her.

Unexpectedly, someone hit her on the back and she lost her balance. She stumbled forward and was about to fall down the stairs.

The surrounding people cried out in shock and broke out in cold sweat for Ye Shu. The crowd downstairs heard the commotion and looked up as well.

Ye Shu grabbed the railing of the stairs with one hand. Her body was already leaning down and looked like she was about to collapse.

In the chaos, Ye Shu grabbed the handrail of the stairs, but at the same time, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

“Probably twisted it.” This thought flashed across Ye Shu’s mind.

However, before she could think further, she slipped again.

She was not so lucky this time.

The hand that was already aching and could barely bear the weight of her body; that was the last straw.

Ye Shu only felt that she had no strength left in her hands. In the next moment, she had already fallen down the stairs.

“Be careful!”

“Get out of the way!”

The onlookers exclaimed.

She did not know if it was for Ye Shu or the unlucky person who was about to be crushed by her.

Just when Ye Shu thought that she would smash heavily onto the other party and cause both sides to suffer, a huge force grabbed her shawl from behind.

However, in the next moment, she felt that the shawl wrapped around her arm could not bear her weight…

Ye Shu’s shawl slipped off her body and she fell again! However, this time, her descent was clearly much slower.

The person at the bottom of the stairs seemed shocked by the sudden movement and did not dodge in time.

Ye Shu watched helplessly as she bumped into that person’s chest.

Before she could lament her luck, she heard a commotion around her.

“Wow!”

“Aiyo! How could this be!”

“What a surprise!”

As everyone teased her, Ye Shu suddenly felt a chill on her back…

If the shawl was pulled off, wouldn’t she be…

Ye Shu hurriedly struggled to stand up and covered her bare back.

She grabbed the thing in front of her and used all her strength to stand up.

“Eh?”

Ye Shu realized that there was something wrong with the voice beside her ear. When she raised her head, she saw a half-naked chest.

“I’m… I’m sorry!”

She hurriedly apologized, wanting to help him cover up.

A hand quickly reached over and grabbed Ye Shu’s hand. “Miss! Please stop!”

Ye Shu’s wrist was hurting from the other party’s grip. She wanted to pull her hand back but she could not.

She knew that she must look terrible now.

Not only that, the man in front of her whose chest was exposed would probably feel even more embarrassed!

“Why don’t you let me die here!”

“Someone save me!” Ye Shu shouted in her heart. She wished she could instantly master an invisibility spell and spirit herself out of there.

Just as Ye Shu was feeling embarrassed, a voice came from behind her.. “Today’s banquet is really exciting!”
