Song Shaojie quickly contacted his driver to wait at the hotel entrance.

The engagement banquet was nearing its end, and everyone was eating and chatting at the table.

Wu Zhenyuan was the most excited. Being able to dine at the same table as the four major families was a great honor for him!

To ruin Wu Youyou's reputation, He Qiangwei gave Wei Ziyao a wink. Wei Ziyao nodded secretly and looked at Old Master Shi with great respect.

"Grandpa Shi, I know you usually enjoy collecting calligraphy and paintings and are quite knowledgeable about their authenticity. I have recently acquired a genuine work by Tang Bohu and would like you to appraise it for me to see if it is authentic! I wonder if Grandpa Shi would be interested in taking a look!"

Grandpa Shi was a great lover of calligraphy and paintings. Upon hearing that there was an authentic work by Tang Bohu, his eyes lit up.

"Are there really genuine works by Tang Bohu?"

"Grandpa Shi, how could I dare to lie to you? It's on the fourth floor of the hotel!"

Xiao Yiqing, standing beside him, smiled slightly and said softly,

"We've almost finished eating, and I'd like to learn more from Grandpa Shi!"

Wei Dingyun, Song Aotian, Xiao Ran, Wu Zhenyuan from the Wu family, and some female relatives all nodded in agreement, saying they also wanted to go and broaden their horizons.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Old Master Shi was very pleased and agreed.

"Ziyao, then lead the way, let's all go and take a look!"

Among them, only Old Master Shi had the most prestige; everyone else had their own ulterior motives. They followed Old Master Shi up to the fourth floor.

As soon as the group got off the elevator, they saw a naked man lying on his back on the floor in the corridor, unconscious.

Old Master Shi frowned deeply. This unpleasant scene made him lose his color. Wei Dingyun looked at Song Aotian with a cold eye. Song Aotian coughed a few times. It was indeed a bit embarrassing for such a thing to happen in his hotel. He immediately contacted the manager to handle it.

The manager quickly ran over and, with two others, carried the unconscious Li Yuan out. As they passed the crowd, Song Aotian exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this the...that...family of the Xiao family's wife?"

Song Aotian couldn't recall the name for a moment, but he knew about the connection between the Xiao family and Xiao Ran, so he spoke to Xiao Ran.

"Isn't this your nephew?"

Xiao Ran's face immediately turned green. He didn't know why this Li Yuan was here, or why he had been beaten up like this, but he absolutely refused to admit it.

"Old Song, you're seeing things. I don't recognize him!"

Wei Dingyun could tell that Xiao Ran was lying, but since it was none of his business, he didn't bother with such trivial matters.

When Xiao Yiqing saw her cousin being knocked unconscious, she knew her plan had failed. She looked at Wei Ziyao and saw that she looked flustered.

Wei Ziyao is such a smart person. Li Yuan was knocked unconscious in the corridor, but Wu Youyou was nowhere to be seen. There is only one possibility: Wu Youyou is still in the room, and there is someone else in the room. That person is very likely her brother Shi Zhan.

Thinking of this, Wei Ziyao almost fainted. Shi Zhan and Wu Youyou were in the room... She simply couldn't imagine it. Now that she had led everyone to the door, it was impossible to get them to turn back. As she hesitated, Old Master Shi spoke up to remind her...

"What are you waiting for? Open the door!"

Wei Ziyao was startled. Just as she was about to say that she had forgotten her room card, she saw the door open.

Shi Zhan picked up Wu Youyou and was about to leave when he saw a group of people blocking the doorway. His expression immediately turned cold, and he looked at the crowd with a chilling gaze.

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

When Song Lan saw her daughter in Shi Zhan's arms, she was so frightened that she rushed over to her.

"Youyou, what's wrong?"

Song Shaojie quickly comforted Song Lan.

"Auntie, don't worry, Youyou just fainted!"

When Wei Ziyao saw that the room wasn't what she had imagined, she breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Song Shaojie inside as well, she knew this wouldn't significantly affect Shi Zhan's reputation. She looked at Shi Zhan tenderly, feigning some confusion.

"Brother Shizhan, what are you doing here? And what happened to Youyou? Was she violated?"

Upon hearing Wei Ziyao's words, which threatened to damage Youyou's reputation, Song Lan quickly spoke up to defend her daughter.

“Miss Wei, my daughter was not violated. Shaojie just said that she just fainted!”

He Qiangwei, dressed in a gold gown, stood in the crowd, her arm linked with Wu Zhenyuan's. She felt her father trembling. She looked up at Wu Zhenyuan and saw that he was angry, as if he was holding back his anger. She quickly comforted him.

"Dad, Youyou is alright, don't worry!"

She saw Wu Youyou collapse in Shi Zhan's arms, completely unharmed, her eyes filled with disappointment!

Now that Wu Youyou has escaped unscathed, the most important thing right now is to appease Wu Zhenyuan, since he represents the Wu family and gives them face!

Actually, the one with the worst expression was Grandpa Shi. He watched as his beloved granddaughter hugged a strange girl in such an awkward situation; disappointment lingered in his eyes.

"Xiao Zhan, what are you doing? Put that girl down immediately!"

Shi Zhan noticed that his grandfather seemed very angry, but he couldn't let go of his worries. He had never disobeyed his grandfather's wishes before, but this time he had to.

"Grandpa, tell them all to move aside. I'll take her to the hospital first, and I'll explain to you when I get home!"
