A short while later, Ni An slumped weakly onto the table.

The wine bottle she knocked over rolled twice on the ground. Xia Kexing picked it up and nudged Ni An with her elbow.

Ni An's cheeks were flushed, her eyes became unfocused, and she was muttering something unintelligible.

"You're drunk."

Xia Kexing went to take the wine bottle that Ni An was carrying.

As soon as she exerted force, Ni An gripped the bottle tightly.

"Don't touch me!"

Ni An glared at Xia Kexing with disgust, shoved her away, and said haltingly, "Xia Kexing, don't even think about trying to sow discord between me and Sister Su!"

She swayed, picked up the bottle, and mumbled incoherently, "No matter how Sister Su treats me, in my heart, she is still my friend."

"Don't try to sow discord between us..."

After humming a couple of times, she started pouring drinks.

She drank too fast and too quickly, and the wine spilled out of her mouth.

Ni An choked and spat it out.

Xia Kexing's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and her facial features also twisted unnaturally.

She immediately moved away, afraid that Ni An would vomit on her.

Ni An grabbed a handful of tissues and wiped her mouth haphazardly.

Having vomited the wine she had just thrown up on herself, Ni An staggered to her feet and said dazedly, "To the bathroom..."

"Go to the restroom."

Xia Kexing pouted, crossed her arms, and glared at Ni An with annoyance.

Ni An was really drunk; she was staggering and unsteady on her feet, appearing to be out of her mind.

Xia Kexing felt a little regretful.

Was her efforts to win over Ni An really effective?

Aside from being pretty and having a good figure, Ni An is completely brainless.

"idiot!"

If it weren't for dealing with Mingyao, she wouldn't want to get involved with a fool like Ni An.

Ni An didn't hear Xia Kexing's curses and staggered out of the private room.

Xia Kexing looked at the bottles, tissues, and spilled liquor scattered on the floor, her disgust deepening.

She pinched her nose; the strong smell of alcohol in the air was nauseating.

"I can't stand it!"

Unable to contain herself any longer, Xia Kexing dialed Lin Bin's number. As soon as the call connected, she raised her voice and roared, "When are you coming?"

"I've really had enough!"

It was clearly a plan involving her, Lin Bin, and Guo Xiaorong, but she ended up having to deal with Ni An all by herself.

Why are those two allowed to hide in the corner and watch the show? That's not fair!

Lin Bin smiled apologetically and reassured him, "Don't worry, our plan is only halfway done. If I come, wouldn't it all be for nothing?"

Xia Kexing rubbed her temples in frustration, put her hands on her hips, and complained with a dark face, "Ni An won't say anything."

"I really don't know what kind of bewitching drug that bitch Su Xueya gave her to make her mouth so tight!"

Where is Guo Xiaorong?

Xia Kexing grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her voice involuntarily rose two decibels, "Can you two please stop watching the show?"

"I can't get anything out of Ni An. You two better think of another way!"

"If I stay with Ni An any longer, I'm going to go crazy!"

The thought of Ni An's listless appearance made Xia Kexing feel nauseous.

It's so disgusting that just looking at her makes me feel annoyed.

Guo Xiaorong took Lin Bin's phone and asked casually, "Not going to say anything?"

"Of course, if she had told me, would I have even bothered to call?"

"She kept drinking and wouldn't let me say a word!"

"Heh, she even told me not to try to sow discord between her and Su Xueya. They've already fallen out like this! And she's still defending Su Xueya!"

"What a madman!"

Xia Kexing wanted to continue complaining, but Guo Xiaorong stopped her in time: "Okay, that's enough."

"Since this method won't work, let's make things more dramatic."

"Dramatic? How so?" Xia Kexing urged impatiently, "Are you suggesting I play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"

A sly glint flashed in Guo Xiaorong's eyes as she said with interest, "It's like a hero saving a damsel in distress."

"Find a way to stall Ni An, no matter what it takes."

Xia Kexing felt a surge of unease.

It's always her who gets to do all the hard and tiring work!

And those two? Hiding in the background, giving orders!

At first, it was just her and Guo Xiaorong working together.

Later, Guo Xiaorong somehow connected with Lin Bin, and their collaboration turned into a three-way partnership.

Guo Xiaorong wants to uncover big news about the company, and Lin Bin wants to get revenge on Mingyao; their goals align.

Now that they've been working together, Xia Kexing has gained a deeper understanding of Lin Bin.

Lin Bin was not as refined and cultured as he appeared; on the contrary, he was quite cunning.

Her scheming and Guo Xiaorong's combined schemes didn't amount to as much as Lin Bin's.

Xia Kexing just couldn't understand why Lin Bin was plotting against Ni An.

To deal with Mingyao, one shouldn't keep Ni An in the dark.

The fact that Ni An and Ming Yao have gotten to where they are today is largely thanks to Lin Bin.

In order to sow discord between Ni An and Ming Yao, Lin Bin did a lot of whispering in Ni An's ear.

Even when Mingyao and Pei Siyu went to Gaoxing Technology Company, he deliberately let Mingyao discover that he was still in contact with Ni An.

Lin Bin orchestrated Ni An's accident.

He sent people to keep an eye on Ni An and Ming Yao, and had already bought people in advance.

When Ni An was crossing the road, his men ignored the traffic lights and ran over her.

This gave her the opportunity to take Ni An to the hospital and take the chance to get closer to her.

If Lin Bin truly liked Ni An, why would he scheme like this?

Could Lin Bin have other motives in taking the initiative to cooperate with her and Guo Xiaorong?
