The car drove smoothly all the way, and Da Tou drove very carefully because he was afraid that someone in the back seat would blame him for being unsatisfied.
While waiting to cross the intersection, two old men on tricycles overtook us, making us lose face completely.
When they were almost at their destination, Shen Yanqing reluctantly let go of the person and got up to straighten his clothes.
Gu Baiwei saw her reflection in the rearview mirror and stomped hard on his brand-new leather shoes.
Thanks to someone, all the makeup she had painstakingly applied was ruined, and to make matters worse, she was in a hurry to leave without any touch-up supplies.
She glared at Chen Yanqing: "It's all your fault, my makeup is ruined."
Shen Yanqing reached out and put his arm around her waist, smiling like a fox: "This is perfect."
The car stopped in front of the hotel. Shen Yanqing got out first, opened the car door, and made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.
Gu Baiwei helped him out of the car, attracting envious onlookers from many people around, and her face immediately flushed.
Shen Yanqing, however, naturally put his arm around her waist: "What's there to be shy about? We're in a serious relationship, the kind where we're about to get our marriage certificate."
Gu Baiwei kicked his leather shoe again: "Who agreed to that?"
The two were flirting and teasing each other, completely unaware that a pair of dark eyes were staring intently at them from not far away, their gazes sinister.
The two entered the private room, and the moment they opened the door, the noisy crowd inside immediately fell silent, as if a pause had been pressed.
Gu Baiwei looked up and saw eight people sitting in the private room, and in the corner was Shen Yao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
The moment they entered, Shen Yao looked over, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Gu Baiwei, as if she wanted to bore a hole through her.
The young man sitting in the middle stood up, walked over to the two of them, his gaze falling on Gu Baiwei. He raised his hand and punched Shen Yanqing on the shoulder: "Well, boss, you're pretty efficient. I've been abroad for two years, and you've already found someone. I thought you'd never date anyone in your life."
After he finished speaking, he winked at Gu Baiwei teasingly: "Sister-in-law, our boss was a campus heartthrob back in the day, but unfortunately, he was unmoved by the girls who pursued him."
"After meeting my sister-in-law, I realized why my eldest brother looked down on others back then. They were all inferior to even a tenth of my sister-in-law."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Yanqing's arm and said, "Come on, we've been waiting for you."
Shen Yanqing frowned and looked at the arm that was being held, saying in a flat tone, "Let go."
Li Yunfei looked hurt: "No, boss, why are you so heartless to me?"
"Get lost."
Shen Yanqing spoke without any mercy, pulling Gu Baiwei to sit down in the main seat.
As soon as Gu Baiwei sat down, she felt a cold gaze fixed on her.
She looked up and, as expected, met Shen Yao's sinister eyes. Her brows furrowed slowly. Wait, is Shen Yao crazy? Why is she staring at her like that?
The moment their eyes met, Shen Yao glared at her fiercely and looked away: "Brother Yan Qing."
Her voice was sweet and obedient, as if she hadn't been the one staring at people with a cold gaze just moments before.
Shen Yanqing replied expressionlessly, "Hmm."
He didn't even glance at Shen Yao.
Shen Yao glared fiercely at Lin Zheng again, her nails digging into her palms. It was all that bitch's fault; Brother Yan Qing was getting more and more annoyed with her.
Just then, Shen Yanqing's phone rang. He said something to Gu Baiwei, took the phone, and went outside to make a call.
As soon as she left, Shen Yao suddenly stood up from her seat, walked over to Lin Zheng in her high heels, and stood next to her, looking down at her.
Under the bright lights, Gu Baiwei's small face was as white as jade. Her makeup was very light, almost invisible, but she was still exquisite and charming. Every frown and smile was graceful and charming. She was undoubtedly a natural beauty.
Shen Yao tightened her grip on the wine glass. This face was too much to bear; she really wanted to slash it to pieces with a knife.
She gritted her teeth, concealing the emotions in her eyes, and said in a calm voice, "Miss Gu, I'd like to propose a toast to you."
As he spoke, he forcefully shoved another glass of wine into her hand.
Gu Baiwei was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't drink."
Shen Yao immediately exploded like a lit firecracker: "Gu Baiwei, do you look down on me?"
Gu Baiwei was shocked by her domineering theory. Not drinking with her meant looking down on her? Was this woman out of her mind?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Yao became even angrier. Suddenly, she reached out and roughly grabbed Gu Baiwei's chin, holding the wine glass and about to pour it into her mouth: "You have to drink this wine today, whether you like it or not."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a heavy slap across the face, his cheek burning with pain.
She stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "You dare hit me?"
Gu Baiwei glanced at her coldly, her voice clear and icy: "No one can force me to do something I don't want to do."
After saying that, he picked up the tea on the table and poured it over Shen Yao's head.
The lively atmosphere in the room turned into a deathly silence at that moment.
Shen Yao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned incredibly fierce: "You shameless vixen, I'll kill you!"
As he spoke, he suddenly tightened his grip on Gu Baiwei's neck with both hands, his eyes filled with malice.
Gu Baiwei didn't expect her to suddenly go crazy. The sudden feeling of suffocation made her mind go blank for a moment, but soon she raised her foot and stomped hard on Shen Yao's instep with her high heel.
Shen Yao let out a shrill scream, and the strength in her hand instantly loosened.
Gu Baiwei's eyes, which had been red from suffocation, stared intently at Shen Yao. She grabbed a wine bottle from the table, smashed it on the table with a bang, and pressed it against Shen Yao's cheek: "Shen Yao, if you push me too far, I'll risk anything."
Sharp shards of glass cut her skin, drawing bright red blood. Li Yunfei, who had been watching the scene unfold, paled slightly and quickly grabbed Gu Baiwei's hand, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't get agitated."
Gu Baiwei sneered. Now someone's come to her aid? When she was almost strangled to death by Shen Yao, these people were all as steady as mountains.
She scoffed, then moved the bottle forward half an inch. The stinging pain made Shen Yao scream in terror, and her skirt quickly became soaked.
"Chen Yao, you'd better avoid me in the future, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
As soon as Gu Baiwei finished speaking, she suddenly loosened her grip, and in Shen Yao's terrified gaze, the broken glass bottle crashed to the ground with a bang, shattering into pieces.
She casually wiped the wine stains off her hands with a tissue, then smiled at everyone present and said, "Excuse me, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll head back now."
After saying that, he picked up his handbag, walked past Shen Yao who was slumped on the ground, and left calmly.
As soon as she left, it was as if everyone on the scene had been frozen in time to react. Li Yunfei hurriedly bent down to help Shen Yao up, only to find that her face was as pale as paper.
Shen Yao gripped Li Yunfei's hand tightly, her voice trembling: "You're crazy, Gu Baiwei is crazy."
