Gu Nianqiang pretended to be unwell and successfully separated Fu Nanxiao and Jiang Yilai. Even though she knew he was unhappy, she still wanted to keep him occupied.

Seeing her pained expression, Fu Nanxiao frowned and said, "I'll go get someone."

Gu Nianqiang grabbed his arm and shook her head pitifully, "No need. It's such a good day, I don't want to spoil everyone's fun, or Grandma will scold me again."

As she spoke, she lowered her head in grievance, as if she had been treated unfairly in this family.

Fu Nanxiao also knew some things: Gu Nianqiang was not a member of the Gu family, and apart from Du Yi and her son, everyone else was indifferent to her.

The matriarch, who held the most authority in the family, would never even give her a second glance.

"Then I'll take you back to your room to rest."

"I'm in so much pain today, I'm afraid I need to go to the hospital. Nan Xiao, could you please take me to the hospital?"

Gu Nianqiang had to find a way to get rid of him, lest he ruin their plans.

Fu Nanxiao seemed a little embarrassed. Of course, he didn't want to see her off and was planning to go find Jiang Yilai instead.

Gu Nianqiang coughed twice more, making a pained expression.

"Everyone is busy with their own duties at tonight's feast, and I don't want to disturb them, so I'll have to trouble you. If you're really too busy, I can just call an ambulance myself."

Anyone would feel uneasy seeing her pitiful appearance. Fu Nanxiao frowned, not wanting to abandon her.

"I'll take you there."

Gu Nianqiang knew that although he appeared cold on the outside, he was also very gentle on the inside, but he just couldn't express it.

She needs to seize the last vestige of affection Fu Nanxiao still has for her in order to get closer to him.

Fu Nanxiao gentlemanly supported her hand, and Gu Nianqiang really wanted to lean her body against him, but in this kind of occasion, she had to pay attention to her image.

Leave those embarrassing things to Jiang Yilai.

Jiang Yilai made a point of saying goodbye to Gu Ming'en, preparing to leave first, as she didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

"Miss Jiang~"

Jiang Yilai heard someone call her, turned around and saw Mei Yin, but she didn't understand why Mei Yin had called her.

"Is there something you need?"

Mei Yin stepped forward with two glasses of wine, smiling, and said, "I feel very fortunate to have met Miss Jiang. I also thank you for coming to my welcome party. I would like to have a drink with you."

As she spoke, she handed over the wine in her hand, looking at her with a sincere expression.

The host personally offered the wine, so there was no reason for Jiang Yilai to refuse. She reached out and took it.

Congratulations on finding your family.

"Thank you. I heard that your law firm has a collaboration with the company. We should be meeting frequently in the future. Please take care of me."

"You're too kind. It's all just what I should do."

"Cheers to our pleasant cooperation."

Mei Yin had already raised her glass first, and as a courtesy, Jiang Yilai followed suit and drank it all in one gulp.

"I have other guests to attend to, so I won't keep you company. Please make yourself at home."

Jiang Yilai nodded. If she hadn't been stopped by her earlier, she would have left long ago.

Jiang Yilai took a deep breath, but after taking only two steps, she felt dizzy, as if she were a little drunk.

But tonight she only drank a few glasses of champagne.

Besides, she doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance, so little alcohol wouldn't make her drunk.

Jiang Yilai took a few more steps and found her legs were weak and her body was hot, as if something strange was running around inside her.

My vision gradually blurred, and I felt like the people in front of me were appearing as double images.

how so?

Jiang Yilai patted her chest hard, but it didn't relieve the symptoms. She looked around and found the restroom sign. She wanted to use water to clear her head.
