She met the man's gaze.
The man's eyes were as firm as his words.
The suffocating, hopeless situation, the insulting and mocking words coinciding with his single sentence, the interplay of reality and the past made her react rather slowly. She felt a sudden sting in her nose, and hot tears inexplicably streamed down her face.
She quickly looked away and wiped it clean with the back of her hand.
The man, who was usually composed and never showed his emotions, panicked. His pupils behind his gold-rimmed glasses flickered with helplessness. He twitched his fingertips, but quickly stopped himself and silently took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Thank you," she said in a muffled voice.
Once she stopped crying, the man's tense emotions finally relaxed for a moment, and he got up and sat down in the chair next to her.
His gaze darkened slightly when he noticed the reddened corners of her eyes.
To comfort her, he spoke gently:
"The surveillance footage has been retrieved. It was her agent who drugged her drink. It was indeed her agent who helped her into the room while she was unconscious. I had a copy of the hotel's surveillance footage made, and all the others were completely deleted."
In addition, I had someone investigate her agent, Wang Fangping. This wasn't the first time she had done this, and there were other accounting issues as well.
That Mr. Liu, Liu Shengrui, married into the family. After his wife passed away, all of his father-in-law's property came into his hands. Over the years, he has squandered his wealth and committed numerous illegal and disorderly acts in private.
The police have taken the two people away. I will find the best lawyers from the Lu family to represent these victims in court. They will all be punished for their mistakes. After the people inside wake up, you can talk to her about the situation. However, she doesn't need to be involved in this matter; she shouldn't feel pressured.
Qin Yue was surprised by his speed and quickly said, "You've already gone to so much trouble for us today. Thank you so much for your help. We can't let you handle the rest. I'll go find a lawyer."
He learned more about what happened today.
Qin Yue previously said she wanted to establish an entertainment company.
He could guess that Qin Yue attended the wedding banquet to meet some directors and producers and improve her interpersonal relationships as the daughter of the Qin family.
This must be the first time she has met this man named Xie Lingyu.
The other party would message her in a critical moment, which suggests that she extended an olive branch after their meeting at the banquet.
He didn't know whether the other party had agreed.
They had only met once and had not yet established a superior-subordinate relationship, nor could they be considered friends.
It's like helping a stranger.
She doesn't need to categorize herself with Xie Lingyu or thank him for saving her life.
Even if I did these things because of her, I can't accept this favor.
He couldn't let her feel like she owed him anything.
Qin Yue owes no one anything.
“It was just a small favor. We were just trying to help people, so it wasn’t a problem. Besides, the lawyer has already looked into the details and spoken with the police, so it’s not appropriate to switch lawyers. If you really want to thank me, treat me to a meal another day as a way of thanking me for covering for you in front of your aunt today.”
Upon hearing this, she chuckled and said, "I'd take ten meals, let alone one."
When Lu Yanci's assistant arrived, he saw his usually stern and unsmiling president acting as if he were worthless in front of that girl.
It's only because of Miss Qin; if it were anyone else, President Lu probably wouldn't even give them a glance.
He stepped forward carrying a paper bag with the logo printed on it, his face revealing no hint of his inner thoughts, and said respectfully, "Mr. Lu, these are the things you requested."
Lu Yanci responded and took it, placing it on the stool next to him.
First, he took a trench coat out of a bag.
She had used his coat to drape over someone else, and it was so dirty that it was unusable. It was a chilly evening, and she was wearing an evening gown, so she had her assistant prepare a coat for her.
The other paper bag contained a shoebox with a pair of flat shoes in her size.
She hadn't expected Lu Yanci to be so thoughtful.
Changing from high heels to comfortable flats made me feel completely relaxed.
She put on her coat and took out her phone: "Your clothes are dirty too, including this trench coat and shoes. How much is it in total? I'll transfer it to you."
Lu Yanci: "No need, I'll just take my clothes back and wash them. These won't cost much. If you really want to pay me back, you can pay me back with another meal when you have time."
Qin Yue knew that this amount of money was indeed small change for him.
However, she couldn't be so naive as to equate the so-called "small amount of money" with a meal.
Qin Yue secretly planned to buy a gift that cost more than that and return it to him when she treated him to dinner another day.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you." She put away her phone and said, "I have to stay here tonight. You have to go to work tomorrow? It's late, you should go home."
He swallowed back the words he was about to say about staying with her.
I can't let her notice anything amiss.
Lu Yanci stood up seemingly calmly: "Yes, contact me again if there's anything else."
"good."
Qin Yue got up and saw him to the elevator.
Thirty minutes later, Qin Yue in the ward sent Lu Yanci a message: Are you home yet?
Lu Yanci: Just arrived.
Qin Yue: Okay, I won't bother you anymore. You should get some rest.
How do I constitute disturbing her when chatting with her?
Lu Yanci replied: "Yes, you should get some rest too."
An extremely brief conversation.
After replying, he put his phone aside.
One person read the chat history over and over again, wishing they could print it out and frame it.
