Lin Chenyi left, but his words were still ringing in his ears.

Zhou Qian knew that she couldn't believe what Lin Chenyi said, but she couldn't refute it.

She sat alone for a long time, her mind in a mess, stubbornly refusing to believe that Lu Jing wanted to kill her.

Even if Lu Jing planned to get engaged, wouldn't it be too outrageous to silence her when he was not sure whether she would bother him?

That's a life!

As for Lu Jing's suspicion of her...it was just a suspicion.

Zhou Qian came out of the coffee shop and on his way back to the company, he called Jiang Ningning to ask about going to work at the Jinjue Club.

"I almost forgot to tell you this. My friend originally asked you to go there on Wednesday to adapt for two days, but you got into trouble, so I turned it down on my own initiative."

"Then could you help me ask if it's okay to go tonight?"

"You still want to work part-time now?"

"I don't have anything to do at home anyway, so you can ask for me. If it's okay, I'll go over tonight. If not, that's fine too."

Jiang Ningning was also worried that she would have wild thoughts at home alone, so she agreed, "Then I'll ask for you."

"I'll wait for your call."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qian received another call from Hang Peng. Hang Peng had been calling and texting her frequently over the past two days to show his concern for her.

"Have you been feeling better these past two days?"

His tone is always gentle and soft, making people feel comfortable listening to it.

Zhou Qian replied, "Much better, I'm already at work."

"So, are you free tonight?"

"What's up?"

"I need a female companion to help my dad entertain at the Golden Goblet Club tonight."

The Golden Goblet Club...that's perfect.

"Of course you can, but are there any requirements?"

Although Zhou Qian had never attended such social events, it was not uncommon in TV dramas and novels, where those who were more particular would dress up to attend.

"I'll have someone deliver the dress to you. I don't have any other requirements, just do whatever you want."

"Okay, see you tonight."

"I'll come to you tonight."

"Um."

After ending the call, Zhou Qian immediately called Jiang Ningning and told her not to ask anymore.

…

At six o'clock in the evening, Zhou Qian and Hang Peng appeared at the Jinjue Club together.

She wore a royal blue dress, which made her already fair skin glow. Her makeup was done by the company's makeup artist, which was light but not vulgar. The makeup artist said it suited her temperament very well.

Her long hair was tied up, revealing her snow-white neck and delicate collarbone, and she looked bright and elegant.

Hang Peng wore a gray suit that matched her skirt and paired it with a royal blue tie. The two of them standing together looked a perfect match.

The two took the elevator to the eighth floor. When they came out of the elevator, Zhou Qian realized that what Hang Peng called a social event was actually Lu Jing's engagement party.

Hang Peng apologized to Zhou Qian, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was Mr. Lu's engagement party until I got here. If you mind, I'll have the driver take you back."

Although Hang Peng knew that saying this at this time would make him seem somewhat hypocritical, he just didn't want to lose this opportunity.

At this point, Zhou Qian actually knew in her heart that Hang Peng had actually known for a long time that it was Lu Jing's engagement party, and the reason he didn't tell her the truth was because he was afraid that she would refuse to be his female companion.

Although Hang Peng deceived her, he also helped her by accident, so she was not angry.

"It's nothing to mind. We are all friends. We are just having a drink at a wedding."

"Thank you!" Hang Peng breathed a sigh of relief. "Just follow me. You don't need to pay attention to anyone trying to talk to you. We'll just go through the motions and leave."

"It's okay. I'm not a young girl entering society for the first time. I can handle it myself."

Hang Peng looked at her with infatuated eyes, "It's mainly because you're so beautiful today, I'm afraid someone will snatch you away."

Zhou Qian blushed in embarrassment. Knowing he was joking, she smiled and said nothing.

…

The luxurious banquet hall is decorated in a romantic and warm manner. Pink roses are spread on the ground, like a sea of ​​pink flowers. Stepping on them is like walking on the clouds.

Maybe it was an occupational disease that Zhou Qian first visited the design of the engagement banquet and then estimated the cost of decorating the hall.

Putting aside other things, the imported roses alone are estimated to cost millions.

The Lu family was having a wedding, so naturally there were many powerful and wealthy people coming. Hang Peng came with a mission, so he entered the banquet hall and went to do things for his father.

Zhou Qian didn't follow him, but wandered around the banquet hall by himself, taking the opportunity to learn about the works of the million-dollar designer.

However, she didn't walk around for long before she met an acquaintance in the hall.

Zhang Ning and Liu Sisi walked over talking and laughing. When they saw Zhou Qian, they looked at each other tacitly.

The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, why is this woman here?

Which of tonight's guests isn't a scion of a powerful and prestigious family? How could someone like Zhou Qian, who came from the slums, have the qualifications to be here?

"Zhou Qian, why are you here?" Zhang Ning asked in a condescending manner.

Zhou Qian glanced at her lazily and asked, "Why can't I be here?"

Zhang Ning snorted coldly, "Do you know what day it is today?"

"It's not your death anniversary anyway."

"you……"

Zhang Ning was about to step forward and fight, but Liu Sisi beside her quickly pulled her back and whispered in her ear, "You dare to cause trouble today? Do you want to die?"

Zhang Ningjing was reminded and felt worried about her impulsiveness just now, but it was not her fault. It was all because of that bitch Zhou Qian who had the guts to curse her.

Zhang Ning glared at Zhou Qian angrily, but her eyes flickered and she soon smiled again.
