With a yank of the surgical needle, Han Lan endured the pain in her chest and struggled to sit up, intending to go out and confront Bai Qingzhi.
"Lie down if you don't want to die!" Suddenly, another voice echoed in his mind.
Han Lan froze, looking around in fear.
She will never forget that the voice was curved.
"Where are you? Where are you?" Han Lan quickly retreated, shrinking himself into a corner.
“I am inside your body,” Wanwan replied.
Han Lan covered her head with both hands, shaking her head vigorously in disbelief.
Han Lan was discharged from the hospital after a week, and even the doctor said that she was in good physical condition and recovered very well.
To show that his daughter was lucky to have survived such a disaster, Mr. Han specially prepared a banquet at home, inviting his business partners and various socialites and daughters of wealthy families.
Xiao Yuan and Bai Qingzhi were among those invited.
Xiao Yuan initially intended to refuse, but Bai Qingzhi agreed to go, and he was worried about her safety, so he agreed as well.
Bai Qingzhi was able to go entirely because Lou Xiaoxiao said she wanted to confirm it, and coincidentally, her name was on the Han family's invitation, so Bai Qingzhi took Lou Xiaoxiao with her.
After all, this is considered an upper-class circle, so Bai Qingzhi started getting her hair and makeup done more than three hours in advance.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Bai Qingzhi yawned repeatedly.
She actually dislikes these kinds of occasions very much. Everyone there has an ulterior motive in their social interactions, and every word they say is carefully considered, which makes her very tired.
Most importantly, sitting motionless in a chair for three or four hours was really too much for Bai Qingzhi.
Once the styling was finally finished, Bai Qingzhi felt as if all the bones in her body had gone limp and she slid off the chair.
"I regret it. Why did I agree to go to the Han family?" Bai Qingzhi said weakly.
Lou Xiaoxiao was also quite exhausted. She had always been curious about what the lives of rich people were like, especially when she saw those wealthy families in TV dramas attending banquets dressed in glamorous clothes, she was particularly envious.
Lou Xiaoxiao used to think that she would have that kind of life someday, but after actually experiencing it, she only felt pain.
It's true that they look glamorous, and it's true that people envy them, but no one knows what they got in return!
It's happiness! It's freedom!
The two looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.
The Han family's dinner was scheduled to start at 8 p.m., and Bai's mother, worried that the two of them wouldn't have enough to eat, specially asked the chef to prepare some snacks.
Xiao Yuan did not go to the Han family with the two of them, while the Bai family only sent one high-ranking member.
After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while, Bai Qingzhi and her companion set off. Riding in their family's luxury car and wearing bespoke suits, the Bai family naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
As soon as she entered the hall, several groups of people came over to talk to Bai Qingzhi. To these strangers, Bai Qingzhi maintained a lukewarm attitude, neither being rude nor overly enthusiastic.
As originally agreed, the two wandered around the hall. Bai Qingzhi was responsible for attracting the attention of others, while Lou Xiaoxiao scattered the things she had prepared beforehand around the hall.
An hour had passed by the time they finished, and the two breathed a sigh of relief before sitting down on a sofa in the corner.
Here you can clearly see the reactions of everyone present.
Just as the two were observing, a commotion came from the doorway. Bai Qingzhi looked up and saw Xiao Yuan walk in from the doorway.
He was wearing a pure black suit today, his hair had just been cut, and he had a blank expression, exuding an aura of coldness and seriousness.
But it is precisely this kind of temperament that makes her even more charming.
The businessmen all wanted to strike up a conversation, while the socialites and heiresses all hoped to catch Xiao Yuan's eye.
So he was blocked as soon as he came in.
Xiao Yuan, wearing glasses, scanned the entire room and then spotted Bai Qingzhi in a white evening dress smiling at him from a corner.
A slight smile played on his lips, making the young ladies around him even more excited.
Han Lan stood at the corner of the stairs, quietly looking at Xiao Yuan's face, and then her eyes gradually became infatuated.
But the next second her eyes cleared again as she watched Xiao Yuan walk step by step toward Bai Qingzhi.
"Why are you only arriving now?" Bai Qingzhi asked with a smile as she jogged over to Xiao Yuan's side and took his hand.
Xiao Yuan grasped her small hand and pulled her back to sit on the sofa.
"There was a meeting in the middle, and besides, it doesn't matter if you arrive at this kind of banquet early or late." He had already sent people to protect Zhizhi, so even if he hadn't come today, Zhizhi would have been fine.
Xiao Yuan exchanged a glance with Lou Xiaoxiao, and neither of them spoke. Xiao Yuan knew that the other party had achieved their goal.
Now all we need to do is wait quietly for the results.
Xiao Yuan gave the two of them some pastries, then stood beside them and began talking to the other business partners.
Han Lan arrived at this time.
"Bai Qingzhi, you must be very proud of yourself right now, right?" Han Lan's face was devoid of any smile, and her complexion was still somewhat pale, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Why should I be proud?" Bai Qingzhi asked with her big, curious eyes.
"However, I haven't congratulated Miss Han on her successful discharge from the hospital yet. Judging from her strong voice today, she must be recovering well." Bai Qingzhi smiled exceptionally sweetly, and anyone who saw it would think it was genuine.
But Han Lan subconsciously thought that the other party was cursing him for not dying.
She stopped pretending and stared fiercely at Bai Qingzhi.
Before she could continue speaking, Bai Qingzhi continued:
"But to be honest, I really have to thank Miss Han. If it weren't for you, I would never have known that Xiao Yuan loved me to the point of not caring about his own life."
This was also what Lou Xiaoxiao had told her. Han Lan now definitely knows that the curse she cast back then is useless. All they can do is use this incident to give her a good jolt.
"What do you mean?" Han Lan had a bad feeling.
"Didn't you have someone cast a curse on Xiao Yuan? But unfortunately, his feelings for me are too deep, and the curse didn't work. But speaking of which, you're really heartless. You know, curses can kill people." Bai Qingzhi laughed even more happily.
At this moment, Han Lan's eyes held not only resentment but also a deep malice.
"Are you smug?" Han Lan's expression was somewhat ferocious. Bai Qingzhi noticed that her pupils were constantly dilating and contracting.
Bai Qingzhi glanced subtly at Lou Xiaoxiao, and after receiving a signal from her, continued speaking:
"Yes, I just think that Miss Han really doesn't need to go to so much trouble for other people's boyfriends. After all, if he doesn't like you, even if you kill him, he still won't like you, let alone curse him."
Bai Qingzhi spoke so fluently that she didn't even break a sweat, which made Lou Xiaoxiao next to her secretly shake her head.
Even if Han Lan were angry, she herself would want to beat her up if she heard that.
Especially when paired with that smug expression, it makes you want to punch him even more...
