Chapter 147 was designed.
Luo Jiayin found it amusing, but didn't expose it.
She casually picked up a glass of foreign liquor from a tray carried by a passing waiter and drank it down in one gulp along with Lin Manxi, as a response to her "congratulations".
"Thank you, Ms. Lin. I wish you all the best in your career and that you achieve your goals."
Luo Jiayin said with a smile, the last sentence carrying a hint of sarcasm.
Although she was somewhat disgusted by Lin Manxi's superficial politeness but actually malicious behavior, she still maintained her politeness and demeanor in front of a room full of VIPs and the media.
Lin Manxi seemed to have noticed the sarcastic tone in Luo Jiayin's words, but she didn't say anything more. She just smiled and nodded slightly.
"Then I won't bother Professor Luo Jia any longer. I'll head over now. Have a wonderful evening."
After saying that, Lin Manxi turned and left.
Luo Jiayin didn't think much of the hidden meaning in Lin Manyi's words, and left the banquet hall, heading straight for the restroom.
As soon as Luo Jiayin entered the restroom, she was stunned...
"What kind of ridiculous design is this?!"
Luo Jiayin cursed under her breath.
In most places, the washbasins are outside the restrooms. Knowing her own situation, Luo Jiayin would never go to those public restrooms outside.
Originally, Luo Jiayin had no intention of going to the toilet; she just wanted to wash her face to refresh herself.
When she got to the restroom, she discovered that the restroom outside the Song Group building didn't even have a sink!
The sink is inside the door...
Luo Jiayin stared at the two doors in front of her, each marked with a male or female symbol, and looked troubled...
It seems inappropriate for her to go into any of the clothes right now.
Although it was almost midnight, there was hardly anyone left on this floor except for the VIPs attending the banquet in the banquet hall and a few hotel staff.
But she couldn't guarantee that other people wouldn't come to use the restroom during that time.
Luo Jiayin glanced at the two doors in front of her with dissatisfaction, then sighed and turned to leave.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Yu Jiu.
[L: Jiu Jiu, I'm going back to my room to use the restroom, I'll be down in a bit.]
[Xiao Jiu Jiu: Ah, A Yin, are you feeling unwell?]
L: No, I just wanted to wash my face, but there's no sink outside.
[Little Nine: Oh, okay. Call me if you need anything~]
L: Hmm.
Closing her phone, Luo Jiayin turned and walked towards the elevator.
As soon as the elevator began to ascend, Luo Jiayin felt dizzy.
"You didn't drink that much... how come..."
Luo Jiayin held onto the elevator wall with one hand, trying her best to maintain her balance.
At this time, there shouldn't be many people coming and going in the hotel, but for some reason, the elevator stopped for quite a while on each floor before moving.
Luo Jiayin felt some discomfort in her stomach, and her body seemed to be inexplicably strange.
The elevator arrived at Luo Jiayin's floor. Luo Jiayin rubbed her throbbing temples, stepped out of the elevator, and walked down the corridor towards her room.
She was clearly feeling unwell at this point, and her body seemed to be burning up.
Luo Jiayin thought she might have caught a cold, so she decided to tell Yu Jiu when she got back to her room that she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be going back, so she could get some rest.
However, when she pushed open the door, she saw a scene that shocked her to no end.
Inside the room, a strange young woman lay on Luo Jiayin's bed with her eyes closed, her fate unknown. Meanwhile, Yu Jiu, who should have been in the banquet hall, was in Luo Jiayin's room.
She was sitting on the floor with her back against the bed, her eyes glazed over, her breathing rapid, and her hair was wet as if it had been doused with water.
Luo Jiayin looked to the side and saw an empty cup on the table and some water spilled on the floor. It was clear that Yu Jiu had originally intended to use the cold water to relieve his discomfort.
"Jiu Jiu!" Luo Jiayin immediately ran to Yu Jiu's side and patted her shoulder, "Are you alright?"
Upon hearing her voice, Yu Jiu slightly raised his head and said with a wry smile, "A-Yin..."
"I never expected this would happen to us..."
They were set up!
This was the first and only thought that flashed through Luo Jiayin's mind.
She and Yu Jiu, who had been drugged, and a strange woman who suddenly appeared unconscious on their bed, along with various signs of physical discomfort, all contributed to the situation.
If Luo Jiayin still can't guess anything by now, then she's really brainless.
It's obvious that this was done deliberately, trying to get her to have something happen with Yu Jiu, who is her assistant, in order to smear and spread rumors about her.
To further tarnish her reputation, the person who framed her arranged for another unconscious woman, whom no one knows how she was brought in, to be dumped on her bed.
I suspect the drugs they gave her and Yu Jiu were different, probably gender-specific. Otherwise, she would feel the same way as Yu Jiu right now, instead of just feeling nauseous.
"Jiu Jiu, how are you? Can you still move?"
Luo Jiayin used her sleeve to wipe the water off Yu Jiu's face and asked softly.
Yu Jiu shook her head slightly: "No, Ayin. I feel like a lump of mud right now, I can't muster any strength at all."
"Oh, right, I checked her when she was brought in. She was alive, but it seems she was just unconscious."
"Ah Yin...you should leave quickly. I don't know what these people are up to. I'm afraid paparazzi will come later, and then you won't be able to explain yourself!"
As Yu Jiu spoke, he used all his strength to push Luo Jiayin outwards with all his might.
"No!" Luo Jiayin said sharply, "How can I leave looking like this!"
"Oh, you have to go! I was just drugged, it's nothing serious, I'll get over it. If someone finds the two of us in a room like this, with this woman of unknown origin, that would be really bad!"
"You've been in here for a long time, get out now!!"
Yu Jiu didn't care about her own discomfort at this moment; she just wanted Luo Jiayin to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
"Get out! Go outside the door if you want! Nothing will happen between me and this woman in the room."
Luo Jiayin herself was weak and powerless, relying entirely on her willpower to keep going.
Driven by Yu Jiu's combined efforts of hands and feet, Luo Jiayin was quickly and forcibly pushed out of the room.
The moment the door slammed shut, a surge of rage ignited within Luo Jiayin.
What on earth is going on? Why is someone targeting me in this place?
She asked herself this question in her heart.
