Chapter 41: Fortunately Song Li fell into his hands

After the outdoor garden party ended, the indoor dinner began immediately with a seamless transition and the seats were packed.

The entire hall was filled with joyful and lively music, the soaring "Birthday Song" and "Happy Birthday", and joyful laughter emanating from every corner. Song Li felt extremely anxious, as if he couldn't breathe in his nose...

She was an unfilial daughter. On her father's death anniversary, she celebrated other people's birthdays in a place full of lights and wine.

Song Li changed into a bright red dress and asked the makeup artist to quickly touch up her makeup. Because she had been wearing high heels all afternoon, her knees were so painful that she was sweating coldly.

She walked out of the room and was about to go downstairs when the phone in her bag vibrated. She took it out and saw the words "Mr. Ling" jumping on the screen.

She hasn't replied to Ling Puyan's messages these days, so maybe she called him.

She still turned it off. She was in a very bad mood, helpless, tired, and confused. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions!

He Qian, however, walked up behind her and caught sight of the words "Mr. Ling." "Why didn't you answer? Considering your relationship with Ling Puyan, you've left such a difficult note. Isn't that awkward?"

"Mr. He, after you take your seat, can I ask for leave and leave first?" Song Li didn't want to discuss anything else. She just wanted to leave here. She had to go to her father's grave to say a few words today. She had promised her father last year.

He Qian didn't answer her. Why did Ling Puyan call her at night? He said yesterday that he wasn't feeling well and wouldn't come to the birthday party today. He knew Song Li would go with him to the party, so he called to ask if she had been drinking or if it was over!

"Director Liang and Miss Yu are here, and things are almost done. I have something to do. Can I..."

"What's the matter? Are you in a hurry to see Ling Puyan? He knows what time the party ends. Why is he rushing you so early?"

"No!" Song Li immediately denied, "I, I feel a little uncomfortable, I think..."

"One moment you say something's wrong, the next moment you say you're not feeling well. Which one of your words is true?" He Qian was already holding his breath because he saw that there was still a connection between her and Ling Puyan.

Song Li dug his nails into the flesh of his palms, trying to calm himself down.

"Stay here! If you dare to leave Chenyin Villa without my permission, I'm not sure what I'll do..."

In an instant, Song Li felt as if his throat was stuck and he couldn't make any sound or breathe!

The banquet hall was bustling with activity, and the T-stage in the center was bustling with performances, with people from all walks of life trying to please Zeng Lingxiong in various ways.

Song Li had already felt that it was a great shame for her to be dressed so dazzlingly and greeted with smiles on this day! Unexpectedly, what made her even more ashamed was what happened behind...

Just as she had slightly eased her inner disgust for herself, He Qian shouted at her, "Go up and sing a song with Mr. Zeng."

Song Li looked at him in disbelief, hoping that he had misheard! The much-anticipated singing star Yu Qingqing was clearly sitting next to him!

But it didn’t!

Under the spotlight, she stared at He Qian's stern expression for a full minute! Then, forced by his indifference and the roar of the crowd, she stood up and walked towards the catwalk. In the center of the stage stood Zeng Lingxiong...

A song of "Flowers and Full Moon" suddenly sounded...

Du Zhanrong sat on the other side, watching Song Li take the stage. She was wearing a red dress that showed off her shoulders, looking incredibly graceful and sexy. He listened to her soft, deep voice as she began to sing, her voice lingering in his ears...

He remembered every word Shu Mingjin said clearly. After investigating Song Li's information, he had reflected on it. He even checked the whereabouts of the gold bars she traded with Yan Xu that time, but... they never appeared again!

Such eye-catching gold bars, weighing a full six pounds, are worth at least one million! But after Song Li took them away, they disappeared without a trace. Perhaps more accurately, his ability was not enough to find out who had the gold bars in the end!

How many people in Yuancheng could be easily investigated? Du Zhanrong knew the power that was blocking him...

However, he was really angry about Song Li's behavior and he couldn't get over the condemnation in his heart.

Song Li glanced at the bustling crowd in the hall. There were clearly huge crowds of people, but why did she feel so lonely and desolate, fighting alone...

He Qian knew she didn't want to, but he wanted to punish her! He had always been upset that she cried in front of Ling Puyan, more than once! Ling Puyan even called her tonight, and even when he took time to visit Ling Puyan yesterday, he asked why Song Li didn't come with him!

Zeng Lingxiong and Song Li sang together on the stage, and the crowd cheered and joked in the audience!

Song Li mechanically echoed along... not a single note lost in concentration, not a single melody deviating from the song, yet no one noticed her desolation...

He Qian looked at Song Li, who looked even more radiant and flawless against the backdrop of the lights and the dress. Her singing was like a gentle breeze, lingering in his heart, and like the unique fragrance of aged wine, which made him intoxicated. He suddenly felt a sense of relief... that Song Li was in his hands, a sense of accomplishment.

After the song was over, Song Li unnoticeably pulled out Zeng Lingxiong's old hand, walked off the stage quickly, walked through the crowd, and went to the bathroom.

She leaned over the sink, feeling dizzy and nauseous. She retched a few times, but nothing happened. She only felt worse.

Song Li looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were filled with tears because of vomiting, her face was as pale as snow, and she had double vision from time to time...especially the bright red dress on her body. She felt guilty!

He Qian actually followed in quickly and even asked two people to guard outside.

He knew something was wrong with her, but he didn't expect her to react so strongly that she needed to hide in the bathroom and cry!

He couldn't stand her crying!

Song Li's knees became weak and she slid to the ground. He Qian pulled her up and she realized he had come in.

"Mr. He." She quickly gritted her teeth and stood up straight, wiping away the tears that had overflowed. Another nausea-inducing feeling stimulated her brain! She once again panicked and lay down in the sink, retching!

Song Li was nervous all day long, muttering to himself and blaming himself for being unfilial... All the pressure finally couldn't be sustained at this moment, and his stomach cramped and he felt nauseous!

She actually sang "A Full Moon and a Beautiful Flower" in front of so many people on her father's memorial day!

He Qian thought she couldn't hold back her tears and rushed into the bathroom to cry! He patted her back a few times and handed her a tissue, "Who did you drink with?"

How come he didn't notice that she was drinking?

In fact, Song Li hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol today. She really couldn't bear to drink to celebrate in such an occasion! Moreover, she was thinking that as soon as He Qian released her, she would drive to find her father...

"Mr. He, I really... feel uncomfortable. Can you let me go first?" Song Li suppressed the anger in her body. She felt like countless ants were gnawing at her internal organs and brain. She was in so much pain that she was about to burst. The only thing she could do was vomit out of her body's instinctive reflex!

He Qian gritted his teeth, looking at her listless expression. He had indeed been busy since morning. Suddenly, something nagged at him. After a few seconds of hesitation, he replied, "Let Zhang Ji take you back."

"No need, I can do it myself." Song Li felt like he had ascended to heaven when he heard these words. He could no longer control himself and rushed out of Chenyin Villa without looking back!

Ever since Song Li left Chenyin Villa, He Qian completely lost the desire to agree with others. He was alone on the balcony looking at the location of Song Li's car on his mobile phone. He was worried about her.

He Qian discovered that Song Li's car was not heading towards Ciyun Pavilion at all, but drove into Chengbei Avenue. Although this road could lead to her home, Tianyun District, she turned off at the next intersection and drove towards the suburbs in the north!

His first reaction was that Song Li went to find Ling Puyan!

Ling Puyan lived in the northern suburbs of the city. Who else could she find on the road she was going? She actually lied to him about not feeling well!

He Qian drank a lot of wine. He asked Zhang Ji to drive and left the scene in anger, regardless of the many eyes watching him!
