This handkerchief was soaked in a special medicinal liquid from Su Ruyi's spatial storage.
It was the new potion recipe she learned last night that could make people lose their senses, similar to a hypnotic effect, but lasting longer—every time she learned such a recipe, she would use it very quickly, so she stayed up all night last night to make a bottle of this potion.
Zuo Han frowned, about to start cursing, when suddenly her mind became a complete blank, as if she had fallen into a fog.
Su Ruyi's voice, however, was like a demonic whisper from the side: "Comrade Zuo Han, come out here, I have a few words to say to you!"
"Okay! Alright!"
Zuo Han readily agreed, and before her feet even touched the ground, Su Ruyi led her out.
The henchmen standing nearby exchanged bewildered glances: "Brother Han, you just let... steal him away?"
Su Tie rushed forward: "Stop talking nonsense! Come on! You guys come out too, let's talk this out outside!"
At this moment, several of Su Tong's good buddies from the food factory also stood up.
Two or three of them controlled one of the lackeys that Zuo Han had brought, and they all moved outside the courtyard.
By this time, Qin Lan and several of her sisters-in-law had already cleaned up the mess they had made. The broken glass had been swept away, and new wine bottles had been installed.
Laughter and conversation returned to the table, and the wedding banquet continued as normal.
Zuo Han followed Su Ruyi out the door in a daze.
He was led directly to the end of a dead-end alley behind the courtyard by Su Ruyi.
At this point, several lackeys were also pushed out.
A sharp-eyed fellow spotted Su Ruyi, pointed at her, and seeing that it was just a little girl there, the group walked over with smiles.
Zuo Han felt a complete blur in his mind, then heard a voice directing him: "Go! Get rid of all your buddies! Hurry up!"
"Hey!"
Zuo Han immediately did as instructed.
Seeing the group approach him, he frowned and said, "Disperse! Disperse! That's enough for today!"
That impulsive lackey, who was looking forward to a good show and still wasn't satisfied, sighed, "Didn't I say I'd teach them a lesson? Especially that little bitch."
Zuo Han frowned even more: "I said it's over, so it's over! Get lost! Don't keep me from talking to the fairy sister!"
The henchmen exchanged glances.
"Prioritizing romance over friendship!"
The impulsive one spat to the side, "Let's go! The boss has spoken, what else can we do? Let's go!"
Before leaving, she turned back to look at Zuo Han and asked, "Brother, aren't you coming with us?"
Zuo Han glanced at Su Ruyi, who gently shook her head at him.
So Zuo Han called out, "You guys go first, I want to talk to the fairy sister for a while."
The impulsive lackey sized Su Ruyi up and down, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Alright, then we'll be going now, we won't disturb Brother Han's good time! Brother Han, you're really something, such a seamless transition!"
Zuo Han's face darkened: "Enough with the nonsense, get out of here!"
A few lackeys, arms around each other's shoulders, whistling and making sarcastic remarks, walked away.
At this moment, Zuo Han heard that unquestionable voice in his mind again: "You stay here and reflect on your actions. You can leave in three hours!"
"Hey! Fairy sister, I'll do whatever you say!"
This is a dead end behind the courtyard.
Su Ruyi turned and left, while Zuo Han squatted down as instructed, a silly smile still on her face.
He was in a place where no one would notice him, and the wedding banquet would be successfully concluded in three hours.
After dismissing the group, Su Ruyi went back to continue attending to the guests.
About half an hour later, the gate to the courtyard was kicked open with a loud bang.
This time, a balding old man came in.
When Chen Yuanyuan saw the old man, she exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"
Su Tong hurriedly asked, "Yuanyuan, who is this? Do you know her?"
Chen Yuanyuan's face darkened again, and she nodded, saying, "He is Zuo Han's father, Zuo Jinxiang, the deputy director of our machinery factory."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruyi's smile vanished instantly.
Then Zuo Jinxiang stormed over, pushing through the crowd, and stood in front of Chen Yuanyuan: "Where is my son?"
Chen Yuanyuan tried her best to answer him calmly: "Deputy Factory Director Zuo, your son came by about half an hour ago and has already left."
"He left? Where did he go?" Zuo Jinxiang clearly didn't believe it. "Xiaohan's friends all said he stayed behind. Where is he?"
The question was so aggressive that Chen Yuanyuan finally couldn't take it anymore: "Deputy Factory Director Zuo, what exactly do you and your son mean? Zuo Han just caused a scene, and now you're causing trouble again? Don't you think this is childish?"
Zuo Jinxiang squinted his eyes:
"Girl, do you really think you're a human being?"
Your father is about to be executed, what are you so smug about?
Do you really want me to expose your secrets?
I just came to ask you, where is my son?
Don't be ungrateful! I haven't even held you accountable for your unexcused absences!
Chen Yuanyuan's eyes widened: "Unexcused absence? On the day I got sick, I had my coworker bring a sick leave slip to our section chief, along with the hospital admission certificate. The section chief approved my leave at the time, so how can you say I was unexcused absence?"
Zuo Jinxiang snorted:
"Who saw your leave slip?"
I didn't see it!
Chen Yuanyuan, you're really brave!
My son hasn't even said he'd dump you yet, and you dare to dump him? What kind of person are you?
You still think you're some kind of little princess? Your father's long gone. Wake up!
It's one thing to marry some random guy, but to throw such a big wedding banquet?
"You're slapping my Xiaohan in the face like this? Do you not respect me, Zuo Jinxiang, at all?"
Su Tong rushed forward: "Old man, watch your mouth!"
At this moment, Su Xiangjun also came over from their table with a glass of wine.
Su Xiangjun and Zuo Jinxiang knew each other, but their relationship was only superficial.
He handed the wine to Zuo Jinxiang and said with a smile, "Deputy Factory Director Zuo, there's no need to be so angry. Since you're here for the wedding, let's have a drink, and then go about our business, okay?"
Enraged, Zuo Jinxiang didn't even see that the person who came was Su Xiangjun before smashing his wine glass on the ground and yelling, "Get out!"
Su Xiangjun's face instantly turned cold.
He said to the young men at the food factory table, "This comrade has had too much to drink. Let's ask him to go out and sober up."
Several young men jumped up.
Zuo Jinxiang took a few steps back, turned around, and called out, "Old Chen! Old Chen, where are you?!"
Just then, Chen Yuanyuan's section chief, Old Chen, came running in excitedly: "Deputy Factory Director Zuo, I found Xiao Han, he's sitting right outside!"
Upon hearing this and seeing the approaching young men, Zuo Jinxiang turned around and rushed out in a hurry.
