"Aqi, I admire you very much. This last glass is for you." Yuan Mingjie raised his glass.
"I wouldn't dare." After clinking glasses, Xiang Jin drank it all in one gulp.
Her head was already spinning, and she had been trying her best to stay rational. After the last glass of wine, a wave of heat suddenly surged through her body, and Xiang Jin immediately sensed something was wrong.
The alcohol was laced with drugs.
"Aqi, I have something to do, so I'll head back first. See President Yuan off, okay? Be good." Li Shuhui gently patted Xiang Jin, then turned and slipped away.
I can't stand up straight.
Xiang Jin leaned against the wall, and with her last bit of reason, she forcefully shook off the hands behind her.
She stumbled after Li Shuhui, heading towards the door of the private room.
"Aqi, you're drunk. Why don't you rest inside for a bit?" Yuan Mingjie forcefully pulled her back into the private room while taking off her clothes.
"roll!"
Xiang Jin pushed him away with all her might, but lost her balance and fell to the ground herself.
She tried to get up, but couldn't, so she had to crawl towards the door.
Yuan Mingjie grabbed her leg: "Little beauty, I don't believe that the fat meat that's already in my mouth can fly away. Let your brother have some fun!"
"Get out of my way!"
Xiang Jin kicked his crotch, and the man groaned, then flew into a rage and kicked at Xiang Jin.
The kick caused Xiang Jin pain, but it also brought her back to some consciousness.
She staggered to her feet and rushed out the door.
"Help me..."
Just then, someone walked by, and Xiang Jin quickly ran over. She couldn't see the person's face clearly, so she could only clutch their clothes tightly.
"Help me..."
After saying that, she fainted.
Murong Xiao picked up Xiang Jin.
Her face was flushed, her body was burning hot, and she reeked of alcohol. Even in her unconscious state, she didn't loosen her grip on her clothes.
His face was frighteningly gloomy as he coldly stared at Yuan Mingjie, who had chased after him.
“Master Xiao?” Yuan Mingjie stopped in his tracks. “This is Miss Xiang. She’s drunk. Master Xiao, please hand her over to me and I’ll take her home.”
"Go home? I think you're planning to take her to a hotel." Gu Feiyang retorted angrily from the side.
"Young Master Gu is joking..." Yuan Mingjie felt a little embarrassed that his secret had been exposed.
"Joke? Who the hell am I joking with you? Let me tell you, if my sister-in-law loses even a single hair, you couldn't pay for it even with ten lives!" Gu Feiyang kicked Yuan Mingjie.
Yuan Mingjie fell to the ground, forgetting even the pain: "Sister-in-law? What sister-in-law?"
"I only have one brother, what sister-in-law are you talking about?!"
Gu Feiyang grabbed his collar and punched him hard several times.
Yuan Mingjie was immediately bruised and swollen, and looked at Xiang Jin in great fear.
This is... Murong Xiao's wife?
How could this possibly be Murong Xiao's wife?!
His legs were trembling, and he was on the verge of tears: "Master Xiao, we really only had a few drinks and didn't do anything! Madam... she was just drunk, really! I swear!"
Murong Xiao's face was gloomy.
His eyes were murderous.
"You'd better pray she's alright, otherwise, the Yuan family's wealth and glory will come to an end."
He carried Xiang Jin outside.
"Just wait to die!" Gu Feiyang kicked him a few more times before following Murong Xiao and leaving the hospital.
Murong Xiao carried Xiang Jin into the car.
The Rolls-Royce accelerated and sped toward the nearest hospital.
She was taken to the emergency room, where her stomach was pumped. When she came out, Xiang Jin's face was no longer flushed, but rather pale.
"Doctor, why hasn't she woken up?" Gu Feiyang asked.
"The patient is fine now. She has a slight alcohol allergy and drank a mixture of high-concentration alcohol, so she was quite drunk. She is now asleep."
Thankfully... no drugs were added...
Gu Feiyang thanked him and walked to Murong Xiao's side: "Brother, sister-in-law is fine now, don't worry."
Murong Xiao's expression was still very unpleasant.
"Stay at the hospital and call me immediately if anything happens. Su Ming, drive!" Relieved that she was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now he had another matter to attend to.
"Aren't you staying at the hospital with us?" Gu Feiyang asked in surprise.
Murong Xiao remained silent.
He took a few steps and then stopped: "After she wakes up, don't tell her that I brought her here."
He was still angry when she went drinking again and almost got herself into trouble. He was even angrier and didn't want to talk to her for the time being.
"Oh... okay. But why, bro, bro!"
Gu Feiyang scratched his head; Murong Xiao had already walked far away.

When Xiang Jin woke up, it was already the early hours of the next day.
Sunlight streamed into the ward, and she opened her eyes, pausing for a moment when she saw Gu Feiyang sleeping slumped over.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake." Hearing the noise, Gu Feiyang opened his eyes. "Is there anything that's bothering you, or is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Xiang Jin shook her head: "My stomach is just a little uncomfortable."
It's possible that drinking alcohol damaged his stomach and intestines.
"Then I'll go call the doctor and give you a full check-up."
"No need, no need, I'll just have some hot water." Xiang Jin picked up the cup next to her and asked, "Did you bring me here yesterday?"
"It's my brother."
"But he suddenly decided not to tell you, I don't know what got into him. Did you two have a fight?" Gu Feiyang asked with a gossipy look and a little excitement.
Xiang Jin: "...You just sold your brother out like that?"
Murong Xiao didn't want to tell her, perhaps because he felt that it didn't matter whether she, as his substitute, told him or not.
"Sigh, brother is no match for sister-in-law."
“If he really makes you angry, you can beat him up to vent your anger. My brother doesn’t hit women, and he’s ticklish. If you tickle his armpits, he’ll be completely helpless.”
Xiang Jin: "...It's really pitiful for your brother to have a younger brother like you."
"Sister-in-law, you flatter me."
Aunt Yang made porridge, her favorite vegetable porridge. Xiang Jin ate two bites but lost her appetite, feeling sleepy, and went back to sleep.
Just then, a news article popped up on my phone.
"The chairman of a well-known bank is embroiled in a corruption scandal and was placed under investigation this morning."
Xiang Jin sat bolt upright in shock: "Yuan Mingjie has been arrested?!"
Then all that drinking last night was for nothing?!
How to explain to Li Shuhui, and what to do about Jiang Anqing... These questions suddenly popped into Xiang Jin's mind.
"Hey, you're pretty quick, bro," Gu Feiyang laughed. "Sister-in-law, just you wait, this is only the beginning."
"Murong Xiao made the move??"
"Who else has this ability? How dare he bully you? Does he think the Murong family has no one left? The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I should have kicked him a few more times last night."
Xiang Jin fell silent.
With Yuan Mingjie's downfall, the Xiang family's cash flow problem became unsolvable, and the deal fell through completely.
No, we need to find another way to handle this.
Xiang Jin made an excuse to go to the restroom, took her phone and left the ward. She found a quiet place and dialed Li Shuhui's number.
"You little bitch, how dare you call me? What happened last night? How could Yuan Mingjie be arrested so suddenly?!" Li Shuhui was furious.
