If Xie Shizhu was helped, the one who would suffer would be Chi Ze.
Chi Ze drank it, and no matter whether something would happen or not, he would definitely settle the score with the bald man. With the bald man's character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, he would definitely give her away.
Zhou Yuan's face was pale.

As Chi Ze approached the wine glass, a strange smell along with the smell of alcohol filled his nose. He tightened his grip on the glass, his voice as cold as ice: "Who told you to do this?"
The bald man lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chi Ze didn't drink.
If he drank it, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in Haizhou anymore.
Being discovered by Chi Ze, the bald man was extremely panicked and was thinking about what to say.
Seeing that the bald man said nothing, Chi Ze swept his eyes towards the corner. The two figures just now had disappeared.
Xie Shizhu looked bewildered, tilting his head slightly to look at Chi Ze, "What's wrong?"
Chi Ze understood and pondered for a long time, but did not tell her the cruel truth. He said in a serious tone, "Nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man seized the opportunity to slip away, but Chi Ze stretched out his arm to block his way. With a cold look in his eyes, he held the wine glass in front of him and said with a sneer, "You have to drink this glass for my sake, Chi Ze."
The bald man swallowed in fear, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks to his chin.
Xie Shizhu sighed and kindly advised the bald man, "Brother, just drink it. Mr. Chi wants to make friends with you. Think about it, if you have a friend as powerful as Mr. Chi, it will be very prestigious if you tell others about it."
The gloom in Chi Ze's face disappeared because of Xie Shizhu's words, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
The bald man was thinking about whether to tell them the truth, but he couldn't afford the consequences and he couldn't offend both sides.
At Xie Shizhu's urging, he closed his eyes, took the wine from Chi Ze's hand, and drank it in one gulp.
Xie Shizhu smiled happily in his heart.
The bald man covered his mouth, forgot to return the empty wine glass, and ran out.
Xie Shizhu was startled and was about to chase him, but Chi Ze quickly stretched out his slender arm and hooked it around her shoulders, stopping her and saying in a calm voice, "Why are you chasing him?"
There was something wrong with the alcohol this guy drank. If she caught up with him, it would be Xie Shizhu who would be in trouble.
Chi Ze has always been reluctant to meddle in other people's affairs, but this time he was acting out of character. Chi Ze didn't understand why he wanted to stop Xie Shizhu.
"He took Brother Jiang's assets away," Xie Shizhu frowned as he looked at the departing figure. "That cup was very expensive."
Chi Ze: “…”
He prevented a tragedy for Xie Shizhu, but what he got in return was her worrying about Jiang Yuhuai's assets.
How much is a cup worth?
Xie Shizhu caught a glimpse of Chi Ze's gloomy eyes from the corner of his eye, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Are you unhappy?
Zhou Yuerou waited for a long time but Xie Shizhu didn't come looking for her. She looked around impatiently and saw Xie Shizhu and Chi Ze standing together. She hurried towards them.
As soon as Zhou Yuerou appeared, the men around her stared at her with eager eyes. Her outstanding appearance made people unable to take their eyes off her.
Except Chi Ze.
Chi Ze glanced at Zhou Yuerou calmly, then turned to Xie Shizhu, frowning and saying, "How much? I'll compensate Jiang Yuhuai."
Xie Shizhu shook his head. "No need. You just blocked the wine for me, so it offsets it."
Her words seemed to anger Chi Ze. He turned around with a gloomy face and walked out without hesitation.
Chi Ze could never have imagined that his help to Xie Shizhu was only worth the price of a cup in Xie Shizhu's heart.
If you tell others about this, you won’t be laughed at.
His departure had no effect on Xie Shizhu. She enthusiastically took Zhou Yuerou's slender wrist and said happily, "Why are you here? This kind of place isn't suitable for a beautiful woman like you. It would be bad if someone spotted you like last time!"
Zhou Yuerou was surrounded by warmth, her beautiful eyes full of tenderness: "It's okay, there's a driver outside. If he can't wait for me, he will definitely come in."
Xie Shizhu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Are you familiar with Chi Ze?" Zhou Yuerou asked curiously, "I heard from my dad that Chi Ze is not easy to mess with, and he is gloomy all the time, as if others owe him money."
Not easy to mess with? Really? They can imprison you and force you to do it. How can they be any better?
"We were classmates before," Xie Shizhu said with a smile, "We already knew each other."
Zhou Yuerou's phone rang. It seemed like the driver was urging her to go home. After hanging up, Zhou Yuerou said puzzledly, "The driver said he saw Zhou Yuan just now. She was walking very fast, as if someone was chasing her."
Xie Shizhu was surprised and said, "She's here too? I guess she wants to see if I'm being bullied."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yuerou looked at her for a long time with complicated eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, she could only say, "Then I'll go first."
Xie Shizhu waved at her: "Okay, bye."
"Bye-Bye."
Xie Shizhu stared at Zhou Yuerou's departing back, and the curve of his lips instantly converged.
Zhou Yuan?
Just let her do whatever she wants for a while, the future will be very exciting.
Somewhere on the second floor.
Song Yao was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and the smoke forced him to squint his eyes. "This Xie Shizhu is really good. He actually let Master Chi take action personally."
Jiang Yuhuai leaned to one side, his eyes fluctuating with emotions. He slowly looked away and frowned slightly.
"By the way, Zhou Yuerou is really pretty. Do you think I have a chance of succeeding in pursuing her?" Song Yao's words were full of anticipation.
Jiang Yuhuai said calmly, "No."
Song Yao was stunned and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't be so discouraging."
Jiang Yuhuai played with his lighter, the azure flame illuminating his overly superior features. "Tell the truth."
"Grass!"

Xie Shizhu returned home without having time to remove her makeup. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xie's father sitting on the sofa, staring at her.
Seeing her change her shoes, Xie's father hurriedly got up from the sofa and said in a commanding tone, "Zhou Yuan called me today and said you earn a lot. Your mother and I have raised you for so many years. It's time to hand over your salary. We will keep it for you."
Xie Shizhu said indifferently: "You have to wait until next month to get your salary. You don't get it now."
Xie's mother came out of the bathroom and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was wearing makeup, she frowned and said angrily, "Who are you putting on such heavy makeup for? Are you going to work or doing something else?"
Xie Shizhu walked towards the room and said, "I'm attending a regular class."
Upon hearing her words, Xie's mother angrily shouted at her, "Did your friend Zhou Yuan call us and say you were working at a nightclub? Now resign immediately."
But Xie's father stopped his wife: "As long as she can make money, it's good. With her conditions, being able to work in a place like that is a real talent."
Mother Xie thought about it for a while and no longer had the idea of stopping her.
Xie Shizhu slammed the door shut to cover up the sound of their discussion, and leaning against the door, Xie Shizhu sighed deeply.
It seems that I can't stay here anymore.
