After Gu Jisui left, Chen Yuan sat alone in the corner waiting for the banquet to end.
Until Butler Zhou came over and said, "Madam, I just saw Miss Qin sneaking into the kitchen."
Chen Yuan frowned. Before the banquet began, she quietly told Butler Zhou to keep an eye on Qin Yao's movements.
What was she doing in the kitchen?
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Yuan stood up and decided to go see what she was doing secretly.
But as soon as she reached the kitchen door, she ran into the flustered Qin Yao.
When she saw Chen Yuan, her expression immediately became nervous and she subconsciously hid her hands behind her back.
"Manager, why are you here?"
Shen Yuan frowned. Wasn't this her line?
What a preemptive strike.
"I'm a little hungry, so I came here to find something to eat. How about you?"
Qin Yao paused, her eyes avoiding with a guilty look.
"I, I'm just walking around."
Just wandering around the kitchen? ? Furthermore, her hands hidden behind her back made Shen Yuan suspect she had tampered with the place.
"Oh, I see."
Chen Yuan curled the corners of her mouth, and Qin Yao lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her.
"Well, I'm going back first."
After saying that, she walked over without waiting for Shen Yuan's response.
Chen Yuan was quick-witted and took the opportunity to grab her arm.
She raised her hand, and she noticed some white powder remaining between her nails.
Seeing this, Qin Yao was so frightened that she subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but was held tightly.
Chen Yuan narrowed her eyes and stared at her pretending to be clueless. "Look, you didn't even wipe your hands after eating the snacks. There's powdered sugar under your nails."
Hearing this, Qin Yao was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't doubt anything, she pulled the corner of her mouth and pulled her hand out forcefully.
"Maybe it's not clean enough. I'll go wash it again."
After saying that, she fled without looking back. Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at her back.
Only after Qin Yao's back disappeared in the corridor did she turn and go into the kitchen.
The inside was very clean, with various ingredients on the table. The kitchen staff had disappeared and not even a single person was visible.
Shen Yuan looked around. What was Qin Yao doing here?
Finally her eyes fell on the pastries on the table. She paused and walked over.
The colorful pastries were all covered with a thin layer of powdered sugar, and Chen Yuan noticed with her sharp eyes that there was some residual white powder on the table next to the plate.
Shen Yuan rubbed a little with his finger, put it on the tip of the pen and smelled it.
I can't smell anything, just a white powder that looks like powdered sugar...
wrong!
Chen Yuan suddenly realized that the staff usually put the food here after it was ready, so why was there powdered sugar on the table?!
She glanced at the other pastries and rubbed them with her hand. There was no such powder at the bottom of other plates, which further proved that this was not powdered sugar at all.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
Just as she was wondering, she heard a clear female voice.
Shen Yuan turned around and saw a girl in waitress clothes standing behind her.
She paused and said, "I came over to see who these cakes are for."
Chen Yuan pointed at the cakes on the table and asked. She had observed that the cakes here were not seen in the banquet hall tonight.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then curled her lips and said, "These are prepared for VIPs.
VIPs? "Who are they?"
The little girl thought about it.
"It's prepared for some high-ranking business leaders, including you and Miss Xu."
Chen Yuan paused. No wonder Qin Yao came here stealthily. It seemed like she was preparing a surprise for her!
She came back to her senses and looked at the waiter and asked, "Which one is from Xu Wenlou?"
The girl pointed to the plate at the innermost part, and Shen Yuan took it out.
"Give my share to Xu Wenlou. I'll take hers."
After saying that, without waiting for the little girl's response, Shen Yuan took the pastries and left the kitchen.
Although the little girl looked confused, she still did as Shen Yuan said and sent her share to Xu Wenlou in her lounge.
Chen Yuan returned to the banquet hall with the pastries, stared at Xu Wenlou's figure in the crowd, and curled the corners of his mouth.
After the banquet, Chen Yuan did not see Gu Jisui.
Didn't he say he was going out for a while? Why did he take so long?
Chen Yuan thought about how his face didn't look very good when he left, and wondered if he was not feeling well.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan stood up and walked towards the rest area. She wanted to see if Gu Jisui would be there.
In the lounge, Gu Jisui felt unbearably hot all over. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but his body felt so hot as if it was on fire.
He sat on the sofa with his forehead in his hands, feeling unbearable, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
He raised his eyes and frowned when he saw the person in front of him.
"What are you doing here?"
The person standing in front of him had met him a few times, but he was not familiar with her. She was Cheng Qingyu, the daughter of the Cheng family.
Cheng Qingyu was stunned. She stared at Gu Jisui. Judging from his appearance, the medicine was probably about to take effect.
Coincidentally, after she gave the bottle of medicine to Xu Wenlou, she had been observing secretly, because she knew the effect of the medicine very well.
As for why he gave the medicine to Xu Wenlou, it was simply to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
But she didn't expect that Gu Jisui would drink the glass of drugged juice by accident.
Although the plan failed, she thought, maybe she could bring down Shen Yuan in another way?!
She also observed for a long time, until Gu Jisui's medicine gradually took effect, then she followed in.
"I, I just saw that you didn't look well, so I came to check on you. Are you okay?"
Cheng Qingyu lied casually and took the glass of water and handed it to him.
Gu Jisui stared at the water she handed over and frowned. He did not take it, but said coldly.
"go out."
Cheng Qingyu paused, put down the water cup, and his words fell on deaf ears.
"You're sweating a lot, let me wipe it off for you."
At this time, Gu Jisui's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he felt really uncomfortable.
Seeing this, she took out a few pieces of paper and started to wipe the sweat off his face regardless of whether Gu Jisui agreed or not.
Shen Yuan, who had rushed over and was standing outside the door, happened to see this scene and was stunned where she stood.
Inside the house, Gu Jisui was leaning lazily on the sofa, while a woman with waist-length hair was standing in front of him facing the door.
Chen Yuan saw her leaning forward, not knowing why. What shocked her even more was that Gu Jisui did not refuse.
Her mood suddenly hit rock bottom and she laughed at herself.
No wonder he hasn't been back for so long. It seems he has a beautiful woman by his side.
It seems that I came at the wrong time.
She just felt a tightness in her chest and was extremely uncomfortable.
Chen Yuan turned around and walked away, deciding not to look at it anymore. Why bother making herself unhappy?
