Chapter 42 The Dinner
Xin Que's life has become more regular now.
During the day, she would inquire about information related to the charity gala, and at night she would occasionally seek out Xin Fengcheng to discuss their father-daughter relationship.
I just don't know why Shin Bong-sung's blood pressure is getting higher and higher.
Just as Xin Que seized the opportunity when Sun Xinyue and Xin Xin were out, she appeared like a ghost at Xin Fengcheng's bedside...
Xin Fengcheng lay on the hospital bed, utterly despondent, with two streams of tears rolling down his cheeks.
He was on the verge of a nervous breakdown; the slightest noise could startle him and cause his heart to race.
When Xin Fengcheng saw the sharp blade in Xin Que's hand again, he was still driven by his will to survive and fell off the hospital bed, stumbling and running towards the door of the ward.
"What exactly do you want?!" Xin Fengcheng was almost in despair when Xin Que grabbed him by the collar and dragged him away from the door.
"You're going to torment your own father to death over such a trivial matter at the academy?!"
Xin Fengcheng was in a state of frenzy, where things had reached their extreme and were about to backfire. "Go ahead and stab me! You think you can stab me to death?"
"How could I have a daughter like you, so perverse and rebellious..."
"I don't regret anything now! Let me tell you, my only regret is not strangling you the moment you were born, you little beast!"
"Bang!"
Xin Fengcheng accidentally bumped the back of his head into Xin Que's hand chop, his cursing stopped abruptly, and he collapsed onto the floor like a limp rag doll.
Xin Que turned around, looked at the red text indicating that the current task was completed, and left the ward.
[Main Quest: Increase Xin's father's level of genuine guilt. Completed.]
[Current task completion progress: 10%]
Rating: Extremely low.
Xin Que ignored the red-glowing mission evaluation in front of her and left quickly.
When Sun Xinyue and Xin Xin returned to the ward with worried faces once again, they were so frightened by the sight of Xin Fengcheng lying unconscious on the ground that they almost screamed.
The two hurriedly got Xin Fengcheng onto the hospital bed and rushed off to call the medical staff.
......
Although Xin Que received the invitation...
However, the invitation was suddenly changed by the plot to be for specific use only.
She frowned as she looked at the names Xin Fengcheng, Sun Xinyue, and Xin Xin that had suddenly appeared on the invitation.
This is an attempt to prevent her from taking the shortcut to the next task.
[Please have the character Xin Que complete the next stage of the mission as soon as possible: enter the charity gala and purchase the final item at the auction.]
[A statue of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin.]
Xin Que ignored the plot that was provoking her and instead focused her attention on the gold lettering in the lower right corner of the invitation.
That was the venue for the charity gala.
【Yushui Yunjian】
She looked at the address that appeared on her phone screen.
The event was held at a private villa in the riverside business district.
Xin Que seemed to be deep in thought.
......
When Cheng Zheng opened the car door for Luo Huayi, Luo Huayi had just come back to her senses from two different memories.
His memory was wrong again.
Remembering Cheng Zheng's vehement denial that he had ever said Zhou Zichuan was involved in the Women's Morality Academy case, Luo Huayi's headache returned.
He had tried his best to avoid Xin Que, so why did this happen?
As Luo Huayi handed the invitation to the waiter and stepped into the villa, her heart suddenly tightened.
He had a bad feeling.
The tall man stopped in his tracks and looked around.
Try to find the factor that makes you uneasy.
The surrounding area was filled with celebrities and dignitaries coming and going, as well as the villa's servants who came and went.
Cheng Zheng also stopped and looked at Luo Huayi with some confusion. "President Luo, what's wrong?"
Luo Huayi breathed a sigh of relief when she couldn't find Xin Que. "It's nothing, I guess I was just too obsessed."
The two walked slowly into the banquet hall on the first floor.
Xin Que was giving directions to the guests on the second floor with a very polite, business-like smile.
She had her sights set on one of the guests who came to the dinner party.
Xin Que followed quietly behind the group of people who were politely conversing while holding wine glasses.
“Mr. Song,” one of the men, dressed in a suit, was elegant in demeanor but clearly humble towards the man beside him, “you are truly a prophet.”
Xin Que stood not far away with his eyes down, just like the other waiters.
The man referred to as Mr. Song was her target for today.
Song Wenxian.
He can be considered a male supporting character in this tragic novel.
She is also a great help to the female supporting character, Xin Xin.
However, she set her sights on Song Wenxian not because of Xin Xin.
It was because of her new client.
"13, if you can really help me bring down Song Wenxian..."
The other person's voice, disguised as a mechanical voice, was much more mature and composed than the previous small business owner's, and it was almost impossible to detect their personal emotions.
"Don't even mention that Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue... even clearing out the entire party wouldn't be a problem."
"I'll just remind you of one thing: Song Wenxian isn't just a spoiled brat from a prominent family, but also..."
Xin Que's recollection was interrupted by a male voice flattering Song Wenxian, "You're amazing... How did you know they would definitely target that piece of land?"
"And the recent policy trends..."
Xin Que thought of the client's evaluation of Song Wenxian.
Foresight.
Song Wenxian and his group walked towards the stairwell where Xin Que was.
The man didn't notice Xin Que; he simply handed her his empty wine glass.
Xin Que accepted it calmly, as if she were just an insignificant waitress.
......
Luo Huayi seemed somewhat distracted.
After Song Wenxian went downstairs, he greeted Luo Huayi. Seeing that the other party looked indifferent and seemed to be thinking about something, he was not annoyed and walked around him before leaving the banquet hall.
"Wenxian?" Xin Xin lifted her skirt and placed her hand on Song Wenxian's hand, her voice gentle but her spirits revealing her haggard state.
The worry in Song Wenxian's eyes was almost overflowing.
Xin Xin wasn't faking it this time.
She looks really haggard.
After Xin Fengcheng was hospitalized, he became a completely different person, unpredictable in his moods.
He would occasionally mention seeing Xin Que, and every now and then he would say that Xin Que was going to chase him to the hospital and kill his father.
But she and Sun Xinyue never saw Xin Que at the hospital.
Over time, even the most good-tempered person was tormented by Xin Fengcheng's paranoia.
She mustered up the courage to mention the charity gala, but Shin Bong-sung's reaction was, "Your father is in the hospital, and all you can think about is that charity gala."
Xin Fengcheng flew into a rage.
He began to feel that Sun Xinyue and he were both currying favor with him for the sake of so-called resources.
Once suspicion begins, it's hard to reverse. Although Sun Xinyue still appeared to be working hard without complaint, Xin Xin could see the impatience in her eyes.
If it weren't for Song Wenxian's support... Xin Xin was afraid that one day she would lose her temper and smash the cup in her hand over Xin Fengcheng's head.
"How have you been lately?" Song Wenxian asked her softly. "You've lost so much weight."
Xin Xin's nose tingled with emotion.
There are still people in this world who know about her grievances.
"It's nothing," she forced a smile. "It's probably because I was staying at the hospital with my husband for a while and my sleep schedule got messed up."
