Qi Nuan's hands and feet were cold.
As the eldest daughter of a ruined family, they each have their own difficulties in order to survive.
She didn't want to pay attention to Li Yuan, but this person was so aggressive.
Qi Nuan put on a smile and looked at Li Yuan: "I wonder who sent the invitation to Miss Li? The Lu Group's centennial celebration is not open to outsiders, right?"
Li Yuan also knew that many people had seen Gu Hui bringing her in, and she wanted to explain: "You..."
"Oh, I remember now." Qi Nuan didn't give her a chance and interrupted her directly.
"Ms. Li has been in the industry for so long but has never been popular. She hasn't produced any decent works in the past two years, yet she's suddenly become popular. I wonder if the gentleman who brought you in has made a huge investment behind the scenes, and whether the return is worth it."
Gu Hui's actions towards her were so obvious that they were neither husband and wife nor lovers. Even if Qi Nuan didn't mention it, people who knew the situation would probably be able to figure out the relationship between him and Li Yuan.
Seeing that the little actor was useless, Lu Heng's mother glanced at him with disdain, then took matters into her own hands: "Oh, you were talking about your own problem, but you're trying to frame someone else. You're being so unreasonable and uneducated. Do you think you're the eldest daughter?"
Qi Nuan really wanted to lose face and argue with them.
Talking to such unreasonable people will only make you look worse.
Seeing Qi Nuan, Lu Heng, who was walking in this direction, saw the three women facing each other and immediately took a few quick steps forward: "Mom, aren't you going back? What are you doing here?"
"Heng'er, let me tell you, this Qi woman hasn't even finished college, yet she's been able to climb the social ladder so high. Who knows what dirty tricks she's used!"
Lu Heng's mother tightened her grip on her son's arm, seeming genuinely anxious: "You can't be obsessed with this. You can't divorce Ximin!"
"Mom! What happened between Ximin and me has nothing to do with Qi Nuan. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Lu Heng suddenly said seriously: "Besides, I don't believe those rumors about her. She is not that kind of person."
After such a long time, Qi Nuan clearly heard the words of trust in herself from the mouth of someone she didn't want to see.
She subconsciously glanced at Lu Heng and happened to meet his eyes.
In front of his mother, Lu Heng couldn't say anything to Qi Nuan.
He ignored Li Yuan who was standing beside him, only nodded to Qi Nuan, and dragged his mother out.
Without an ally with a common enemy, Li Yuan knew that she might not be able to defeat Qi Nuan.
Qi Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked back to the venue on her own.
She found a corner to sit down, waved to the waiter and asked for a whole bottle of red wine. She drank two glasses in one breath, and her trembling hands and feet finally stabilized.
Probably because the discussion was over, Lu Yin walked in from the terrace, and Gu Hui followed behind him.
"Ah, Miss Qi, why are you sitting here drinking alone? Come on, let's set up another stall."
Gu Hui waved to Qi Nuan and instructed the waiter to bring the wine to a small private room inside.
Lu Yin stared at her expressionlessly for a while, said nothing, turned around and went into the private room first.
The aftereffects of the red wine began to take effect, causing Qi Nuan's temper to become stubborn.
What an attitude!
You make people wait without even saying hello?
Feeling angry, Qi Nuan stood up and followed him into the private room.
This private room was probably a dining area in the hotel, and the space was not very big.
There was a long table inside with people sitting on both sides.
Qi Nuan came in late, and Gu Hui waved his hand, indicating that she should sit in the empty seat at the very edge of his side.
She walked over and sat down, facing Lu Yin.
Unlike Gu Hui who was surrounded by beauties, Lu Yin was not accompanied by any actresses. Instead, he was accompanied by the executive president of the group's headquarters.
"unnecessary."
Lu Yin covered the cup, preventing Li Yuan from coming over to pour him some wine.
He pushed the cup forward a little, in front of Qi Nuan.
She looked up and found that Lu Yin still had no expression, but the executive president next to him was carefully observing their interaction.
Coming back to his senses, Qi Nuan thought that the CEO was Grandpa Lu's man, and might have been sent to keep an eye on them and determine their true relationship.
She swallowed her breath in her heart, picked up the Chivas Regal at hand, and poured the liquor into Lu Yin's glass with ice cubes.
Then there was a "crackling" sound, and the sound of ice cubes soaking was heard.
Lu Yin raised his eyelids to take a glance, picked up the cup and drank half of it in one gulp.
The CEO standing by greeted Qi Nuan with a chuckle, and filled her glass with wine in a friendly manner, successfully persuading her to drink a large glass.
Qi Nuan's alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with, so he skipped lunch and dinner as well.
However, she drank several glasses of wine even though her stomach was half empty.
She coughed lightly a few times and lowered her head. The alcohol started to rise in her body, and her stomach began to twitch and hurt slightly.
Lu Yin pushed two plates of snacks to go with the wine over. Qi Nuan just took a look and shook her head to indicate that she had no appetite.
Unlike their silence, Gu Hui on the other side drank several glasses of ice wine in succession, and became more talkative, making the people around him laugh.
"Speaking of which, Miss Qi, you look so beautiful today. You caught my eye the moment I entered the hall. Do you have any intention of entering the entertainment industry?"
The actress sitting on the right is an artist under Tiansheng. She is very young and has rarely shown her face in public.
She was invited by the CEO to join him and liven up the atmosphere.
Perhaps because she saw that the boss was in a depressed mood, she deliberately started the conversation in a friendly manner and asked Qi Nuan a question.
Qi Nuan was dizzy and didn't dare to shake his head. He just replied: "Forget it. I'm old and don't have that talent."
"Hahaha, Miss Qi is so modest."
Perhaps it was because he was drunk or he was just that casual, but Gu Hui leaned against Li Yuan's chest and said, "Talent is not important to you. Miss Qi, your experience is far more interesting than a drama. You will probably become famous if you play yourself."
After he finished speaking, he sought approval from those around him, and Li Yuan immediately chuckled along with him.
Qi Nuan is aware of her own identity. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely pretend not to hear and ignore it.
But today she drank a little too much, and she was very impulsive under the influence of alcohol and didn't want to admit defeat.
"Same here. When it comes to a wonderful life, Vice Chairman Gu is no less impressive. Even though I don't follow you much, I often see you on trending searches. You're definitely even better than him."
Gu Hui stood up from Li Yuan and gave a thumbs-up: "Miss Qi is really just as the rumors say, sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, like a young lady."
He stretched out his arm, passed the actress between him and Qi Nuan, handed over the bottle of Martell he was drinking, and filled Qi Nuan's glass.
"Come on, for the sake of our equally legendary lives, we must meet one!"
He raised his wine glass and knocked it against the edge of Qi Nuan's glass.
Then he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and stared at Qi Nuan, asking her to drink the wine in one gulp as well.
Qi Nuan glanced at Lu Yin, and he looked at her too, without any expression.
She hardened her heart, picked up the cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then emptied the cup.
