"Su Mu, you've had too much to drink. Let me help you back."
"Fuying, although I drank a lot, every word I said came from the bottom of my heart. I truly..."
Ji Fuying stared speechlessly at the head resting on her shoulder. She was completely dazed but still insisted she hadn't drunk too much. It was all that damned Wen Yin's fault for getting her drunk for no reason.
They found someone they knew to take Su Mu upstairs, where he had his own room to rest.
Ji Fuying returned to the private room and glanced at the time; it was already 9:30. She had to go to work tomorrow, so it wasn't appropriate to stay out too late.
She raised her glass and walked towards the two people beside her. "It's almost time. You two can play a little longer, but I have to go now. Su Mu is upstairs. Please remember to keep an eye on him."
Hua Yinyou once again brushed the hand off her shoulder and looked at Ji Fuying, "I will take care of Su Mu. Take your time going back and let me know when you arrive."
"No, Su Mu is lying down, and you're leaving so early. It'll be so boring with just the two of us."
Wen Yin shook his head, looking unhappy. The birthday boy hadn't even said a word before everyone left. What a frustrating birthday this was.
In the past, he would always stay until the very end for each of their birthdays, and he never left early, even if he drank himself to death.
"You should drink with your mother, don't act up. Fuying has to go to work tomorrow, she doesn't have time to stay here and drink with you."
Hua Yinyou slapped him on the back of the head, as if everyone was as carefree as him.
Ji Fuying gave Hua Yinyou a grateful look. "Then I'll be going now. Thank you for taking care of these two people."
One of them is drunk and lying upstairs, while the other can't hold his liquor but wants to drink all night. Isn't it exhausting to take care of two people like that?
......
The sun had already risen by 7:30 a.m. the next morning.
The faint sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating Ji Fuying's flawless face and making her skin appear even more delicate and supple.
Today is the day Li Xiaole and Li Muning are back at work, and she feels inexplicably happy.
She arrived at the design department entrance precisely at eight o'clock.
"I never would have guessed she was that kind of person."
"You can know a person's face but not their heart; it's not too late to know now."
Many people looked at Ji Fuying and pointed and whispered behind her back, as if she had done something shameless.
However, some people have pure hearts; they can distinguish right from wrong.
Why are you saying that about them? Don't you two have boyfriends?
"Exactly, unless you never get married in your entire lives, what right do you have to criticize others here?"
Everyone else was awake but I was still drunk. Only Ji Fuying stood there, completely bewildered. What had happened this time?
At that moment, two people suddenly appeared and pulled her into the tea room; they were Li Xiaole and Li Muning.
"Yingying, do you know that your relationship has been exposed?"
Li Xiaole's words left her completely confused. She had a boyfriend, how come she didn't know?
Li Muning took out her phone and opened the company's group chat. A picture was enlarged, and the people in the picture were her and Su Mu.
She frowned as she carefully examined the photo. It was taken secretly at the entrance of the private room last night. The fact that it was posted in the company group chat meant it must have been someone from the company.
Moreover, she's in the design department, one of the people from last night. It seems she's either Ji Yingying or Jiang Xuan. Apart from these two, she doesn't have any conflicts with the others.
Just as she was pondering this, Han Xiao suddenly walked towards her and lowered his voice, "Miss, President Ji wants you to go upstairs."
Recalling President Ji's expression just now, he still felt a lingering fear; that oppressive aura was truly suffocating.
Ji Fuying raised an eyebrow, secretly thinking that things were not good. He probably saw the photo too. How was she going to explain now?
Tell the truth? That would expose her secret, which is definitely not the outcome she wants.
It seems there's only one way... which is to not go up to see him, so that he has nowhere to ask if he wants to.
"Um, I have something to do, so it's not convenient for me to go up."
"President Ji said that it's the same whether you go up or he comes down."
"Let's go, let's go, this is so annoying."
Ji Fuying was seething with hatred. If she found out who took the photos, she would expose all the secrets of her family and leave no one out.
Han Xiao escorted Ji Fuying to the door of the president's office, making a gesture of invitation, but showed no intention of going in with her.
"Han Xiao, aren't you coming in with me?"
Going in alone would make her feel a little guilty, so having someone with her would at least give her some courage.
"President Ji has something else for me to do, so please go in by yourself, Miss," Han Xiao said without batting an eye.
As soon as Ji Fuying went in, he immediately went to the lounge to take a nap.
