Since there was no need to keep him around, Feng Shaozhe had no intention of giving Lin Qinghai any more face. Although the news of their marriage agreement with the Zhou family had only recently been published, everyone who knew him was aware of his relationship with Zhou Xiangnan. The fact that Lin Qinghai dared to target the Zhou family clearly showed he didn't take Feng Shaozhe seriously, assuming he wouldn't be angered.
Feng Shaozhe usually disliked putting on airs because the country was in decline and his compatriots were already struggling to survive; he felt it would be ridiculous for him to display his official authority over them. However, this didn't mean he wouldn't get angry.
Feng Shaozhe greeted the acquaintances around him, then took Zhou Xiangnan's hand and led him outside.
Zhou Zian was about to leave with Xu Keke when Xu Keke stopped him. She let go of Zhou Zian's arm and naturally took Mingyu's arm, saying, "Although I haven't seen this play, my classmate told me that you acted very well. I'm quite sorry for ruining your celebration party today."
As Xu Keke spoke, she led Mingyu out. She didn't deliberately lower her voice, "I have a private room upstairs, and I'd like you to come with me to meet someone."
"Mingyu!" Tang Wan strode after her, calling out to stop her, "The celebration banquet hasn't started yet, and we haven't greeted everyone."
"Are you sure, Miss Tang? I don't mind bringing the person down. Let everyone see. Are you sure?"

Tang Wan didn't know what she knew, and was too scared to say anything more or stop her.
When Xu Keke turned around, she saw Ji Mingkai standing five steps away from her, looking at her with a complicated expression, which startled her.
She didn't care about him now and pulled Mingyu away.
Mingyu hesitated, but was pulled astray by Xu Keke. Xu Keke gripped her tightly, and Mingyu knew she couldn't break free by slightly moving her wrist. She had no choice but to jog forward with Xu Keke. "Miss Zhou, who are you taking me to see?"
“I didn’t mean to harm you. If I really wanted to harm you, I would have done what those people did, arrested them, and used them to threaten you. If you don’t obey, I will ruin your reputation and make you lose everything.”
