Chapter 100: The Eve of the Storm (I)



As the New Year approaches, Lin Xuqiu's record company begins its annual holiday.

Because it was a new company with few employees, we didn't go to the trouble of holding an annual meeting.

As the boss, Lin Xuqiu gave all the staff a generous year-end bonus, a month's paid annual leave, and booked a top-notch private room at the Longding Hotel for a dinner party.

In the top-notch box of Longding Hotel.

All kinds of delicacies from land and sea had been served, and when everyone was ready to start eating, Wen Jihuai and his band members finally arrived.

Their band became extremely popular after their debut and has been developing rapidly. Their schedule is busier than Lin Xuqiu's. They rushed to the dinner party right after finishing the recording of a variety show.

Wen Jihuai glanced at Lin Xuqiu and called out respectfully, "Sister Qiu, good evening."

The other members followed suit and shouted, "Sister Qiu, good evening."

Lin Xuqiu nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"Don't be too reserved tonight. It's just a casual dinner, so feel free to be casual."

Everyone answered in unison: "Okay."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the box became more lively.

In fact, Lin Xuqiu is younger than them, but she is the boss after all, so everyone calls her "Sister Qiu". It sounds a bit domineering like a big sister, and Lin Xuqiu likes this name very much.

I don't know who started it, but the toasts began.

Lin Xuqiu was the first to be toasted, but for some reason she felt sick just by smelling the red wine.

Band member Zhang Feng took a glass of wine to toast Lin Xuqiu.

"Sister Qiu, this is a toast to you. Without you, our band wouldn't be where it is today..."

Wen Jihuai noticed that his sister-in-law looked a little unhappy, frowned worriedly, and spoke coldly.

"Ah Feng, this is a banquet, not a drinking party. Why are you toasting me? Come back and sit down and eat."

Zhang Feng looked embarrassed, shrugged his shoulders, and returned to his seat in dejected manner.

After this little episode, everyone started talking and laughing again...

Lin Xuqiu felt a little uncomfortable, so he told Sister Ai next to him and got up to leave the box.

At this time, she looked sleepy, standing in front of the sink, supporting herself on the sink with both hands, feeling like she wanted to vomit but couldn't.

When Lin Xuqiu raised his head, he saw a woman in the mirror.

She was startled and quickly turned to look at the woman behind her with a wary look on her face.

Shen Yulan's makeup today was so pale that the haggardness on her face was clearly visible.

Lin Xuqiu thought for a moment before remembering that the woman in front of her was Huang Zhikun’s lover whom she met at the Snow Mountain Hotel that day.

Shen Yulan had a faint smile on his face, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, stared at Lin Xuqiu, and spoke.

"Mrs. Wen, what a coincidence! I didn't expect we would meet here."

When Lin Xuqiu thought that the woman in front of her was Huang Zhikun's lover, she felt unhappy and didn't give her a good look. She glanced at her and turned away without looking at her, continuing to wash her hands.

Shen Yulan did not show any anger, still smiling, walked to Lin Xuqiu and continued.

"I think you should still remember Lu Songqing, the boss of Orange Chang, who almost worked with you."

"He mentioned you to me and said he regretted not working with you. He said it was a pity that you were just as miserable as me..."

Lin Xuqiu raised his eyes to look at Shen Yulan in the mirror, his eyes full of doubts, and then the poster of the female singer hanging on the wall of the recording studio of Orange Records last time flashed through his mind, so he asked.

"Are you Shen Yulan?"

"Yes, what a coincidence, isn't it."

"oh."

Lin Xuqiu was not interested in who this woman was, so he said a perfunctory word, wiped his hands, and prepared to leave, but was suddenly stopped by the woman.

"Mrs. Wen, aren't you curious why your husband objects to your collaboration with Orange Records?"

Lin Xuqiu was somewhat annoyed with the woman's mysterious way of speaking, which always left her without getting to the point, so she turned around and looked at her, speaking impatiently.

"Miss Shen, just say what you want to say. I don't have time to play guessing games with you here."

Shen Yulan put on a helpless expression and said.

"Well, I originally wanted to let you adapt slowly so as not to be frightened. Since you like the straightforward way so much, I will tell you the truth."

"Wen Yanci didn't want you to know about my existence, so he didn't let you cooperate with Orange Records. Now, the one who bought shares in Orange Records in your place is his good brother Ji Yufan..."

"When I first became Wen Yanci's girlfriend, he couldn't wait to introduce me to all his friends."

"Because I left without saying goodbye, you have the chance to marry him."

Lin Xuqiu frowned and looked at the woman in front of her as if she were a madman. She did not believe what she said and thought it was ridiculous.

“Miss Shen, you come to me and tell me all this without any basis. Don’t you think your current behavior is ridiculous?”

"If I remember correctly, you should be Mr. Huang Zhikun's lover."

After saying that, Lin Xuqiu didn't want to bother with this strange woman anymore, so he turned around and walked towards the bathroom door again.

Shen Yulan quickly stepped forward to block her way, then closed the bathroom door and locked it.

So now there are only Shen Yulan and Lin Xuqiu in this bathroom.

Lin Xuqiu was frightened by the woman's actions. He looked at her in shock, anger in his eyes, and cursed.

"Chen Yulan, are you crazy?"

"What on earth do you want to do by locking the door?"

The elegant and dignified mask on Shen Yulan's face had a crack, her eyes were a little crazy, and the corners of her mouth were raised.

"Lin Xuqiu, don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want to tell you the truth. I don't want you to live in the lies woven by Wen Yanci forever."
