Chapter 033 Chapter 33

Chapter 33 (Exclusively Authorized by Jinjiang)

[Mingmingly, Big Brother and Sang Ya broke off their engagement, why did **** (this plot) still appear?]

[Gu Yeliang and Sang Ya have no reason to frame Big Brother anymore?]

[Is there any hidden plot in **(original work)?]

[No, I have to protect my brother.]

Things became confusing.

Shen Baili's thoughts are unusually active. Regardless of whether the original plot will continue, she thinks it is better to be cautious.

Amid the clamor of the crowd, her inner voice seemed to be transmitted through a loud speaker into Xie Zhiyu's ears.

With the experience from the previous few times, Xie Zhiyu was very calm, and even able to step out of his inner thoughts and skillfully analyze the situation based on the information revealed by his inner voice.

The blocked or blurred words do not affect the understanding of the sentences. Xie Zhiyu guessed that it must be some kind of secret that cannot be revealed.

With the successive appearances of Sang Ya and the waitress, Xie Zhiyu easily locked onto Gu Yeliang. Apart from the bidding projects, the two companies had little overlap in business.

Bidding projects are the ceiling that Gu Yeliang can reach, but not for Xie.

If this was a conspiracy against him, Gu Yeliang was just a pawn and there was someone behind him.

So... who is the person behind him?

Xie's enemy or...friend?

In a very short period of time, Xie Zhiyu had clear ideas and logical thinking.

"Brother, where are you going?" Shen Baili just opened her mouth and realized that she had asked a stupid question.

Xie Zhiyu was very patient. He pointed at his suit and said, "I'll go change my clothes."

"I..." Shen Baili wanted to go with her brother, but it was not very suitable.

Xie Zhiyu took the initiative to walk over, as if he knew her worries, and he said softly, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

[I am worried.]

Xie Zhiyu gave her a shot of cardiotonic: "Fifteen minutes."

"I'll be back in fifteen minutes."

Shen Baili: "Okay."

If Xie Zhiyu didn't show up after ten minutes, she would take Xie Tingsi to find him.

"Bai Li, I finally found you." Meng Jiuan came to her side and said in surprise.

"You're walking so fast. Did something happen?" He asked concernedly, "Do you need help?"

Meng Jiuan was so focused that he didn't notice Xie Zhiyu and Meng Xiu standing beside him.

Meng Xiu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

When Shen Baili saw him, she suddenly had an idea: "I need help, can you take my brother to the changing room?"

It feels safer to go with someone.

Meng Jiuan didn't even hear what he said: "Okay."

What did Baili say just now?

Shen Baili: "Great, thank you."

"You go early and come back early."

She pushed Meng Jiuan and directly pushed him towards Xie Zhiyu.

Xie Zhiyu smiled helplessly, but did not reject Shen Baili's kindness. He looked at Meng Xiu and said, "Please take care of my sister for me."

He took Meng Jiuan away: "Xiaojiu, thank you so much."

Meng Jiuan walked for a while before he realized, "Brother Xie?"

Why am I standing with Brother Xie? What did Bai Li just ask me to do?

Meng Jiuan was a little confused.

Xie Zhiyu understood his confusion and said, "Please take me to the locker room."

Meng Jiuan: "Oh oh oh okay, thank you brother, please follow me."

"I'll take you to the VIP room."

…

Xie Zhiyu received a replacement suit from Liu Te's assistant: "Thank you for your hard work."

Assistant Liu said with full energy: "It's not hard!"

This was a job he had fought for, with triple pay for overtime and five times pay for a banquet like tonight.

You can earn five days’ wages in one night, see the world with your boss, make friends with many people, and even have a free Michelin meal.

Liu Tezhu felt that he had made a lot of money.

As Xie Zhiyu was about to leave with Meng Jiuan, he turned around and called out to Assistant Liu: "Assistant Liu, come with us."

Assistant Liu didn't understand what was going on, but he listened to his boss' instructions and said, "Okay."

He followed Xie Zhiyu and Meng Jiuan dutifully, with a solemn expression.

During this time, Meng Jiuan was called away, but he did not forget to tell the specific location of the VIP room.

He originally wanted to ask a waiter or housekeeper to take Xie Zhiyu upstairs, but somehow, they were not around.

"Brother Xie, the VIP room is on the second floor. Just find an empty one."

Xie Zhiyu thanked him gently, and Assistant Liu followed him. They went to the second floor together. The entire second floor was used as a VIP room.

"Is there only one room left?"

Assistant Liu found it strange, but couldn't tell what was strange.

Xie Zhiyu did not hesitate and walked towards the empty VIP room.

When Assistant Liu saw him push open the door, he was surprised and said, "Mr. Xie, this..."

"Isn't there someone in this room?"

Xie Zhiyu pushed the door open and said firmly, "No one is there."

He pushed open the door of the room opposite, but no one was using it.

etc!

Assistant Liu suddenly realized that after working at Xie's for several years, was he finally going to see the intrigues and deceptions in the banquets of wealthy families?

His favorite thing to read is all kinds of domineering boss novels, and he always compares the plots of the novels with reality.

He thinks that novels are too conservative, and that wealthy families in real life are even more extravagant and more dramatic!

Wait, someone is plotting against the boss!!!

Assistant Liu suddenly reacted.

Which damn bastard wants to plot against his boss? He has finally found a good job with high salary, generous overtime subsidies and no empty promises. Who dares to make him unemployed!

He wants to use his anger to curse the other company's fortune tree to death!

What will happen tonight?

…

In the banquet hall.

After the waiters cleaned up the mess, Shen Baili just breathed a sigh of relief, but then she found that Lin Ran was nowhere to be seen.

How come this guy runs so fast like a rabbit?

She glanced at her watch.

Fifteen minutes. She waited fifteen minutes.

Meng Xiu thought Shen Baili was shy, so he took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, sister. I am Zhiyu's friend Meng Xiu."

"Would you like dessert?"

No one can resist the temptation of dessert, Meng Xiu thought.

Oh, except Lu Mingjing and Xie Zhiyu.

Shen Baili was absent-minded: "Hello, I'm Shen Baili."

"I ate a lot of desserts and I can't eat any more at the moment," she said politely.

Meng Xiu didn't force it, and asked curiously, "Which one is white and which pear?"

"Bai Lihua's Bai Li." Shen Baili glanced at the stairs.

Meng Xiu: "Your name is very special."

Shen Baili: "Yeah, your name too."

Meng Xiu has a bad habit. The more someone ignores him, the more he wants to chat with them.

He was very good at following other people's topics and continuing the conversation: "What's so special about my name?"

"You're the first person to say my name is special."

Shen Baili looked back and said seriously: "Everyone's name is very special."

Although there are overlapping names, each person is unique.

Meng Xiu laughed out loud: "You are as interesting as Xiaojiu."

Shen Baili didn't understand his sense of humor: "Thank you for the compliment."

"Are you worried about Zhiyu?" Meng Xiu was curious about the relationship between the stepsiblings.

As far as he knew, within less than half a year after Xie Zhiyu's stepmother and stepsister came to live in the Xie family, their relationship had become much better than he had expected.

Meng Xiu thought they were very polite to each other, but that was not the case.

Xie Zhiyu is a cold-hearted person. When he just left, he asked him to take care of his step-sister.

The last time someone enjoyed this treatment was when I was a child.

This shows that in Xie Zhiyu's heart, he already regarded Shen Baili as a family member.

Shen Baili: "Well, I'm a little worried."

Ten minutes have passed, but Xie Zhiyu hasn't come back yet.

Shen Baili looked into the hall and found that Gu Yeliang and Sang Ya were gone.

She was a little uneasy.

Shen Baili looked at the baby-faced Meng Xiu, and judged in her heart whether this man was trustworthy.

The eldest brother asked him to take care of himself, so he must trust this man very much.

But...she seemed to have heard Meng Xiu's name somewhere.

Shen Baili couldn't remember, and she didn't bother to think about it anymore: "I'm going to look for Xie...my second brother."

She locked onto Xie Tingsi's position, and when she took a step forward, Meng Xiu grabbed her arm.

"I'll go with you." Meng Xiu said with a smile, "I promised your brother to take good care of you."

Shen Baili did not refuse, because refusing would only waste time. When they were halfway there, Xie Zhiyu came towards them.

She walked over quickly: "Brother."

She looked at Xie Zhiyu inconspicuously and it seemed that nothing unexpected had happened.

[Huh~]

[Brother, it's alright!]

Shen Baili decided to stay with Xie Zhiyu until the end of the banquet.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.

Meng Xiu teased, "Your sister has been waiting for you for so long."

"I really envy you." He said sincerely.

Shen Bai's hair shook like a wave drum: "No, he was exaggerating."

Meng Xiu really wanted to hold down her shaking head.

He thought so and did so, but when he stretched out his hand halfway, Xie Zhiyu stopped him on the spot.

Xie Zhiyu gave him a warning look, then looked at Shen Baili, his indifferent eyes showing a gentle smile: "Sorry, I made Suishun worry."

“I didn’t get any?”

Xie Zhiyu has arranged some things, so time is a bit tight.

Shen Baili showed him the time on her watch: "Exactly fifteen minutes, not late!"

Xie Zhiyu: "That's good."

He looked at the two of them and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to introduce Meng Xiu to Sui Sui.

"Do you know each other?"

Shen Baili: “Yeah.”

Meng Xiu put his arm around Xie Zhiyu's shoulders and said, "Of course, and my sister even praised me."

Shen Baili opened her mouth: "Forehead."

What he said seemed to be correct, but wasn't he a little too familiar?

This was the first time she and Meng Xiu met today.

Shen Baili thought about it carefully and found that everyone she met today was very familiar.

Tang Tang, Meng Jiuan, and Meng Xiu in front of him.

Xie Zhiyu knew Meng Xiu's character very well and punched him hard on the shoulder.

He formally introduced Meng Xiu: "Meng Xiu is my friend. He tends to be quite exaggerated. You should just listen selectively."

"You don't have to listen."

Shen Baili smiled and said, "Okay."

Meng Xiu was dissatisfied with Xie Zhiyu for getting close to him and saying, "Xie Zhiyu!"

"I'm not air, I'm still here!"

Xie Zhiyu nodded calmly: "I know."

"I told you this especially."

Meng Xiu looked at him in disbelief: "!"

"You're heavy... heavy... heavy!" He couldn't remember the adjective for a long time.

"Are you tired?" Xie Zhiyu looked at Shen Baili and asked concernedly.

Shen Baili: “A little bit.”

Her calves felt a little sore.

"Let's go over there and rest for a while." Xie Zhiyu pointed to the sofa not far away.

They walked towards the sofa. Meng Xiu, who was still thinking of an adjective, looked at their backs and hurriedly caught up with them: "Wait for me!"

The three of them sat on the sofa in the corner, very quietly.

"This sofa is really comfortable and perfect for sleeping." Meng Xiu nestled in the sofa, not caring about his image at all.

The air conditioning in the center of the banquet hall was turned on a little low. Shen Baili touched her arm and felt it was cool.

Xie Zhiyu handed her his coat and said, "Don't catch a cold."

"Where is your shawl?" he asked.

Shen Baili put on her coat and felt like she was alive again: "I forgot to take it."

"Brother, are you cold?"

Xie Zhiyu shook his head: "I'm not cold, you can wear it."

Meng Xiu listened quietly to their heartwarming daily conversation and was greatly shocked.

He remembered the adjective: valuing sisters over friends!

"Where is Lu Mingjing?" Xie Zhiyu asked.

Meng Xiu: "He was called away by his father. He may not be able to come after the banquet is over."

"We are still the best, Lu Mingjing...Alas." He sighed.

His father totally ignored him, while Xie Zhiyu's father gave him ample freedom and space for development.

Meng Xiu used to be sad because he was ignored by his parents, but after seeing the "neurosis" of Lu Mingjing's family, he felt very happy.

Lu Mingjing is a ruthless person.

The three of them are actually all ruthless people, otherwise they wouldn't play together.

Meng Xiu has a very accurate understanding of himself.

"Sister... Is Shirari in high school?"

When Xie Zhiyu gave him a look, Meng Xiu immediately became serious.

Shen Baili: "First year of high school."

Meng Xiu hadn't asked many questions before Xie Zhiyu changed the subject.

So Meng Xiu began to expose his shortcomings.

"Don't think that Xie Zhiyu is a calm and cool boss now, he used to be very crazy..."

"Tingting... Your second brother was in trouble with some hooligans. After Xie Zhiyu found out, he flew back from abroad and brought Tingting to the door. He single-handedly took on more than a dozen hooligans and beat them until they cried and knelt on the ground begging for mercy..."

Xie Zhiyu rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Those people can't take a beating."

They are all good-for-nothings who bully the weak and fear the strong.

"I brought bodyguards with me and I won't put myself in danger."

Xie Tingsi has reached his rebellious teenage period. He refuses to let his bodyguards follow him and even throws away the people who secretly protect him...

The gangsters had been eyeing him for a long time. This wealthy and naive young man was a natural money grabber. Seeing him being left alone many times, of course they would not let him go.

Shen Baili listened with great interest. She hoped that she would be able to fight a dozen people alone any day. She really hoped to wake up with the golden finger of the strongman and defeat all the strong men with one punch.

Ah Deng's electronic voice suddenly popped up: "Sui Sui, I don't have this golden finger~"

Shen Baili: "...I know."

"A Deng, has your energy bar changed?"

Ah Deng: "No, it's motionless, as steady as a mountain, as solid as a rock..."

Shen Baili: "Stop! I get it."

She couldn't help but ask, "What new knowledge have you learned?"

Ah Deng said proudly: "I have learned the four-character idioms well. Now I can draw inferences from them!"

Shen Baili: "Okay, okay! Very good! You should continue to study."

Ah Deng: “Okay =w="

The energy bar didn't change. Does that mean the plot won't happen at all... or that it hasn't changed?

Shen Baili's heart sank.

Xie Zhiyu: "Sui Sui, what's wrong with you?"

"Have you caught a cold?"

Shen Baili shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm thinking about my training plan."

At this point, Xie Zhiyu praised: "The coach said you are very talented."

Shen Baili: "I will study hard."

If she doesn't have enough strength, she can accumulate it slowly and use auxiliary "weapons". She is equipped with pepper spray, anti-wolf spray and other lethal weapons.

There are always more solutions than problems. Shen Baili has always been optimistic.

She could feel herself getting stronger, and although it was hard, the feeling was addictive.

…

Half an hour passed, the celebrities were talking and laughing, they were all very relaxed, enjoying the luxury and flattery of Vanity Fair.

However, a shrill scream broke the silence.

Everyone stopped talking and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

"What happened?"

"Who's screaming? Where's the bodyguard?"

They value their lives more than anyone else and remain highly vigilant.

Lin Ran appeared at this time. She ran into the banquet hall barefoot, shouting "Help" and "Help me" from time to time.

She was wrapped in a blanket, her exposed skin was covered with bruises, her delicate and beautiful face was covered with tear marks and scratches. Fear, pain, and helplessness appeared on her body at the same time, with a breathtakingly fragile beauty.

She herself seemed unaware.

Something happened.

This is everyone's first reaction.

Which lustful fellow would dare to do such a thing at Mr. Meng's birthday party?

Everyone's mind was in a state of confusion. A lady took off her shawl, wrapped it around the girl's neck and soothed the trembling girl.

"Girl, you are safe, don't be afraid."

Under the woman's constant comfort, Lin Ran seemed to calm down. Her speech was incoherent and her teeth were chattering.

"I...I was..."

"I...I was raped. Can you...can you help me call the police?"

"I...I want to call the police!"

The girl wiped away her tears, her voice choked but firm.

When Mr. Meng received the news, he rushed over immediately.

When she heard the girl's request, he nodded: "Call the police and check the surveillance."

Mother Meng came to Lin Ran, squatted down, and gently put on her shoes: "Don't be afraid, we have called the police."

"I'm sorry that this terrible thing happened to you. It's our fault."

Meng's mother was very considerate. She did not stimulate the girl's emotions, but gave her a sense of security.

Lin Ran almost curled up in Meng Mu's arms, and his trembling body gradually calmed down.

"Can you tell us what happened?"

Lin Ran raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

She knew the time had come.

However, she saw Xie Zhiyu, who was standing at the edge of the crowd and was particularly eye-catching.

Why is he here?

He is here, who is in the room??!

Lin Ran's scalp tingled, but the arrow had already been shot. What should she do?
