Chapter 54 Truth

Qi Yu was speechless.

They threw all sorts of dirty water at him, leaving him completely bewildered.

"What are you saying? I broke up with him years ago."

The scratches on my face were from "Leo".

It was just neutered and has a bad temper.

His leopard cat?

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Could it be that there's been a mistake?

The atmosphere in the private room was slightly awkward.

Jiang Kai changed the subject.

"Why hasn't Yan Zhou arrived yet? He's supposed to be the birthday boy."

Leading the way in being late.

The others just laughed it off and agreed.

"Even a big star like Shi Nuan comes, so it's understandable that she's late."

The private rooms have finally returned to normal.

At this moment, Shi Yanzhou and Lin Wei had already arrived downstairs.

I ran into Shi Nuan at the elevator entrance.

Shi Nuan was wearing sunglasses and a mask.

She was wearing a light, hazy blue jacket, so that only her eyes were visible.

When I saw Lin Wei,

He snorted coldly.

He held his head high, like a fighting rooster, and rushed into the elevator first.

"Brother, you value romance over friendship. You went to pick her up but didn't come to pick me up."

"Warm and cozy"

Shi Yanzhou's tone carried a hint of helplessness and a gentle coaxing.

"I just happened to run into him at the hospital."

"I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense."

Shi Nuan crossed her arms and stared intently at Lin Wei.

The atmosphere in the elevator was subtle.

In the end, Shi Nuan couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey, now you finally believe me, right?"

You treat that kind of scumbag like a treasure.

snort! "

After what happened to Shen Qingqing, Lin Wei completely agreed with Shi Nuan's statement.

Watching my best friend get love-struck feels like having my own cabbage eaten by a pig.

"Nuan Nuan, I was wrong before, and I owe you an apology."

"sorry."

Shi Nuan turned her face away and ignored her.

If you forgive her so easily, wouldn't she be too easy to coax?

The elevator reached the top floor.

The three people stepped out of the elevator.

"Hey! Our big star has finally arrived!"

Jiang Kai was the first to stand up and tease Shi Nuan.

"We grew up together, how come I never realized you had the potential to be a star when we were kids?"

As Jiang Kai spoke, he exaggeratedly sized up Shi Nuan.

Shi Nuan rolled her eyes at him, then took off her sunglasses and mask.

Her bright and beautiful face was revealed.

His face showed disgust.

"Don't give me that. There was a traffic jam on the way. My brother just got here too."

"How can that be the same? Yan Zhou went to pick up his family!"

Someone mischievously chimed in, their gaze sweeping ambiguously between Shi Yanzhou and Lin Wei.

Lin Wei froze. She really hadn't expected that everyone would make fun of her and Shi Yanzhou.

She wasn't very familiar with the people in the private room.

The only people he knew were Gu Jingcheng and Jiang Kai.

I gave an awkward laugh.

Shi Yanzhou noticed Lin Wei's change and took the initiative to smooth things over.

"Alright, stop joking. There's a bit of traffic on the way."

Lin Wei couldn't help but glance at Shi Nuan.

She felt a pang of sadness; she knew Shi Nuan was still angry.

That's right. I went too far. Can a simple apology really make up for it?

Lin Wei found a seat and sat down, looking dejected.

"Weiwei, would you like some fruit?"

Shi Yanzhou considerately placed a fruit platter in front of her.

He knew that Lin Wei disliked noisy occasions.

Was she able to agree to come with him today because of Shi Nuan, or because of Gu Jingcheng?

He dared not think about it further.

All he could do was try his best to take care of her feelings.

Lin Wei nodded, took a slice of watermelon, and took a bite.

I vaguely felt a gaze falling on me.

Lin Wei subconsciously followed her senses and looked over, just in time to see Gu Jingcheng sitting on the sofa in the corner.

He seemed to have dressed up specially today; the style of the suit was not his usual style.

It lacks some of the aloof, business-like feel.

However, it amplifies the profound charm of a mature man to the extreme.

A dark blue custom-made suit paired with a dark purple tie.

It outlines his muscular upper body.

He leaned back on the sofa, his long legs casually crossed, one hand resting on the armrest.

In his other hand, he held a nearly empty wine glass.

The light cast shadows on his sharply defined face.

His features were sharp and distinct, exuding a commanding presence.

He exudes a powerful aura.

He seemed unenthusiastic, even a little dejected.

Lin Wei tightened her grip on the watermelon, forcing herself to stop looking at him.

He thanked Shi Yanzhou.

Then, we quietly watched the show.

Gu Jingcheng unconsciously snorted and downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp.

She's so obedient around Shi Yanzhou, but why is she so prickly and stubborn as a mule towards him?

Complex emotions churned violently in Gu Jingcheng's chest.

What right does he have? They are a perfectly legitimate couple.

Gu Jingcheng was nothing more than someone she kept saying she wanted to turn the page on.

A bittersweet feeling mixed with disappointment gripped his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

The atmosphere in the private room was harmonious and warm.

Everyone is usually very busy, so it's not easy for us to get together like this.

Jiang Kai congratulated Gu Jingcheng several times on trying to get him to hang out with him.

But they were all frightened away by the coldness surging in his eyes.

From a young age, the group of them were afraid of Gu Jingcheng because he was the most capable and had the most ideas.

He was a man of his word, giving orders like a command, and the others listened to him.

Seeing that Gu Jingcheng was in a bad mood, she stopped bothering him.

The conversation started with embarrassing moments from Shi Nuan's childhood and moved on to Qi Yu's recently neutered, grumpy cat, "Leo."

The conversation then shifted from Jiang Kai's new girlfriend to the upcoming business project.

As the birthday celebrant, Shi Yanzhou naturally took control of the entire event.

He would occasionally whisper to Lin Wei if she wanted anything to eat, showing his thoughtfulness and consideration.

Lin Wei tried her best to fit in, occasionally responding to everyone's jokes.

But when I see Shi Nuan from time to time, I feel a pang of sadness.

She was like a little sun, excitedly sharing gossip about the entertainment industry with several grown men.

A group of grown men listened intently.

Shi Nuan's gaze inadvertently fell upon the disappointment on Lin Wei's face.

My heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Lin Wei in a deliberately provocative manner.

"Hey, Lin Wei, wanna play some games? It's so boring just sitting here."

Lin Wei was taken aback; this was a way out Shi Nuan had offered.

Although it has thorns.

"Okay, what do you want to play?"

Shi Nuan raised an eyebrow, a triumphant smile curving her lips.

"Let's play something... exciting."

How about a game of Truth or Dare?

The others immediately became interested.

"Okay, okay!"

The game started quickly, with bottles spinning on the table.

After several rounds, Shi Nuan had thoroughly exposed the private lives of several grown men.

Finally, the bottle slowly came to a stop in front of Lin Wei.

Shi Nuan raised an eyebrow.

"Lin Wei! Truth or Dare?"

Lin Wei took a deep breath and chose "Truth or Dare".

The right to ask a question fell right into Shi Nuanpang's hands. She looked serious, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Please reflect deeply on whether your past romantic behavior has hurt anyone."

The private room fell silent for a moment, the atmosphere becoming awkward.

Everyone knows what Shi Nuan was talking about.

Everyone knows that Lin Wei was head over heels in love back then and spent three years chasing after Gu Xuan.

He was willing to break off all ties with Shi Nuan.

In the end, Gu Xuan was found to have cheated on his wife with his cousin.

However, Lin Wei is now the general manager of the Lin Group.

This private and unsightly past was exposed by Shi Nuan in public.

Some things are inevitable...

Moreover, it happened at Shi Yanzhou's birthday banquet.

Anyone with eyes can see what Shi Yanzhou thinks of Lin Wei.
