Su Wan in the shadows.

Depend on!

Did the gossip get back to haunt you?

You two, you can talk about the three women around you, why bring up Chu Chu and me?

Su Wan grumbled inwardly.

Since becoming pregnant, Su Wan's mood has been getting better and better, not for any other reason than that she is going to have a child of her own, and that child belongs only to her.

She will give all her love to this child, raise him, teach him to be successful, and even if she dies in the future, someone will break the pot and open the coffin for her.

The wine glass smashed against Jiang Jinyu, spilling red wine that soaked a large area of ​​his chest.

The cup fell to the ground and shattered, the sound attracting the attention of those nearby.

Jiang Jinyu did not show any anger at Shen Baiyan's actions. Instead, he stared at Shen Baiyan with a half-smile.

Qi Mingxuan also noticed the commotion below the stage. He went over to look at Shen Baiyan and Jiang Jinyu and immediately understood what was going on.

"Anger only makes a person appear both tasteless and incompetent."

After Jiang Jinyu finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Bai Yan, are you alright?" Gu Qingling asked with concern.

Qiao Xingyu glanced at Shen Baiyan, and though reluctant, she left with Jiang Jinyu.

"Mr. Shen, have a drink to calm down." Qi Mingxuan beckoned to the waiter, picked up a glass of wine, and handed it to him.

Qi Mingxuan's assistant, Lin Xingrui, said sternly to Su Wan, "Cleaning staff! Come here! Clean up!"

Su Wan had no choice but to bow and scrape as she was called upon.

Shen Baiyan took the wine Qi Mingxuan handed him, angrily tilted his head back and took a sip, then his eyes caught sight of the cleaner and he froze.

Su Wan!

Su Wan cleaned up the floor and left, never once looking directly at Shen Baiyan.

Shen Baiyan suddenly realized something and sighed inwardly: Alas! How could this be? She must be lovesick; even the cleaning lady looks like Wanwan.

He looked down at the wine glass in his hand, and his expression suddenly froze.

Oops!

Why did you drink Qi Mingxuan's wine?

"President Shen, don't..."

Qi Mingxuan was interrupted by Shen Baiyan as soon as he spoke.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

"Boyan..."

Gu Qingling was about to follow when Qi Mingxuan stopped her.

Qi Mingxuan gave Qi Huan a look.

Qi Huan understood and quickly followed.

"Miss Gu, let's talk," Qi Mingxuan said to Gu Qingling.

Gu Qingling said irritably, "We have nothing to talk about!"

Qi Mingxuan looked at her meaningfully and said, "Let's talk about your father's secretary."

Gu Qingling was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Qi Mingxuan said meaningfully, "You should ask your father about that."

Gu Qingling was getting impatient: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Qi Mingxuan smiled enigmatically: "Tell me, if you suddenly had a younger brother, would you still have a place in the Gu family?"

Gu Qingling immediately realized something and said sharply, "You better not lie to me!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left the banquet.

In high spirits, Qi Mingxuan walked towards the secluded balcony.

"What are you planning to do?" The man, carrying a glass of red wine, walked toward Qi Mingxuan on the balcony.

Qi Mingxuan gave a wicked smile: "Destroy him."

The man gently patted his shoulder: "Be mindful of your actions; after all, you still need his body to prolong your life."

Qi Mingxuan looked at the man and asked, "Why did you come back this time?"

The man looked at him with loving eyes: "Look at you, take it easy these days, don't ruin your health."

Qi Mingxuan asked doubtfully, "Is Su Wan really dead?"

The man hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Whether she lives or dies is not important; catching Su Hu is the key."

Qi Mingxuan remained silent, and the man continued, "If you want to obtain the body of the Chosen One, that woman's role is very important."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the red wine in his hand in one gulp: "Okay, I'm leaving. Acheng will come over to help you in the next couple of days."

Su Wan had just turned around after taking out the trash when she saw that familiar face.

The man sensed something and his gaze fell on Su Wan.

Meeting the man's sinister gaze, Su Wan subconsciously lowered her head to work.

The man then turned away and entered the elevator.

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief. The moment she made eye contact with the man, she felt as if he had seen through her soul.

That look?

A face that looked exactly the same but was ten years younger flashed into Su Wan's mind.

It's him!

Su Qi!

Master's fellow disciple!

That evil exorcist who was expelled from his sect!

Su Wan had met him ten years ago.

That time, Su Qi went to his master and begged him to help save his son.

Could it be...?

Su Wan instantly understood.

Qi Mingxuan is very likely Su Qi's son!

Su Wan was extremely shocked. Just then, Shen Baiyan stumbled over from the direction of the restroom.

Qi Huan followed closely behind him.

Shen Baiyan vomited in the bathroom, expelling all the alcohol he had drunk, but there was still a little bit left.

He suddenly felt a little dizzy.

He knew inwardly that something was wrong; the wine had been drugged.

And it was a very potent drug, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to fall for it even after inducing vomiting.

He stopped and looked down at Qi Huan beside him, angrily saying, "Get out!"

Qi Huan noticed his pale face and knew the medicine was taking effect. She was secretly pleased and wouldn't leave just because Shen Baiyan was angry.

"Mr. Shen, you're drunk. Let me help you to your room to rest!" Qi Huan said, reaching out to support Shen Baiyan.

"Get out! Get out!" Shen Baiyan shoved her away and leaned against the wall, shouting angrily.

Su Wan noticed that Shen Baiyan's expression was off.
