late at night.

A high-end restaurant was crowded with people, and the staff who were organizing the concert gathered together.

The table was filled with delicious dishes, and people were drinking and chatting with each other.

Qiao Qin and Lin Xingran sat next to the main table, whispering to each other.

"Is the baby being obedient recently?"

"He's always been very good."

Qiao Qin lowered her head, touched her belly, and a gentle look appeared in her eyes.

At this moment, a sentence suddenly came from the side.

"You are Lin Xingran, right?"

The owner of the voice was an old man in his forties or fifties, holding two glasses of red wine in his hands, and his lustful eyes fell on Lin Xingran.

"You did a great job tonight, I toast to you."

He smiled and stretched out his hand, the fat on his belly trembling with his movements, without even asking the person in front of him what he wanted.

Qiao Qin frowned slightly and was about to speak, but was stopped by the person next to her.

"It's okay, he is the investor of this concert." Lin Xingran shook his head and said in a low voice.

Followed by.

She stood up, took the wine glass from the old man's hand, raised her head and drank it all.

"readily!"

Lu Weichang showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes and applauded.

Originally thinking that it was over, Lin Xingran put down his wine glass and was about to sit back in his seat, but who knew that the person in front of him spoke again.

"I've heard of Miss Lin's name for a long time. Today I saw that she is even prettier than on TV. Let's have another drink. I look forward to working with you in the future."

Lu Weichang didn't seem to intend to let her go easily, and handed her the goblet filled with wine again.

Lin Xingran forced a smile on her face: "Sorry, I just recovered from a serious illness and can't drink too much."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Weichang's face fell and his voice became low.

"What do you mean? Didn't you drink that cup very happily just now? Are you looking down on me if you don't drink it now?"

Three questions in a row, full of pressure.

The movement here quickly attracted attention, and the others turned to look.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Xiao Ran, it's just a drink, you should apologize to Mr. Lu right away."

"You've been in the industry for so long and you don't understand anything, yet you're still pretending to be noble."

......

The sound of gossip reached my ears.

Lin Xingran's face looked a little ugly. Just as she was about to speak out to refute, another voice spoke faster than hers.

"enough!"

Qiao Qin stood up and glanced around with a sharp look, signaling them not to speak too harshly.

Followed by.

She looked at Lu Weichang coldly, opened her red lips slightly, and asked word by word:

"Do you like forcing people to drink?"

Perhaps it was because he had been with Huo Shiyan for too long, and he unconsciously took on some of his aura while talking.

Lu Weichang didn't react for a moment, and was frightened by her fierce momentum. He quickly became angry and said:

"Who are you? What does it have to do with you if I talk to her?"

Qiao Qin said solemnly: "I am her friend."

"Friend?" Lu Weichang laughed loudly, his eyes full of disdain, and his tone was very unfriendly: "Which company's newcomer? Believe it or not, I can ban you in the industry with just one word."

He narrowed his eyes, his covetous gaze lingering on the pretty face in front of him, and suddenly changed the subject.

"Unless you come to my room tonight and apologize to me."

The words were full of suggestive meaning.

The others were not fools either, and they all burst into laughter after understanding what he said.

Qiao Qin, however, remained calm, not affected at all, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips.

"Block me? I'm afraid you can't do it."

Lu Weichang laughed even louder, holding his stomach and shaking back and forth: "How can you not do that? Who do you think you are?"

next second.

A business card was thrown in his face.

Huo’s Jewelry, design director Qiao Qin.

There are only a few simple words on it, but they reveal a lot of information.

The smile on Lu Weichang's face froze. He picked up the business card, looked up and down at the person in front of him, and said hesitantly, "Are you Huo Yan's wife?"

Even he had heard of Huo Yan's famous name.

Qiao Qin frowned. She didn't like this title, but it was very effective in such occasions.

There was silence for a moment.

Lu Weichang's face changed slightly, and he finally realized that he had hit a wall this time.

His family just became a nouveau riche with a little money from demolition, and cannot be compared with top families like the Huo family.

Lu Weichang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. There was no longer the arrogant look between his eyebrows. He smiled awkwardly and said:

"I'm just joking, Mrs. Huo, you won't take it seriously, right?"

Qiao Qin kept a stern face and did not answer.

The atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Lu Weichang turned to look at Lin Xingran, trying to play the emotional card, and explained: "Your friend is very capable in business, and she made an indispensable contribution to this concert. I was too excited just now and said the wrong thing."

As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all in the blink of an eye.

"Just drink a glass as punishment, okay?"

In Lu Weichang's view, he had already made concessions, and the other party should also let bygones be bygones and not pursue the matter any further.

however.

Qiao Qin picked up the wine bottle from the dining table and instantly filled the empty glass. She didn't say anything but just glanced at Lu Weichang, and her meaning was very clear.

"Okay, I'll drink."

Lu Weichang gritted his teeth, raised his head and drank it all again, but this time he was a little slower than before.

A cup.

Two cups.

......

Lu Weichang didn't dare to stop until Qiao Qin told him to.

Discussions were heard all around.

"Who is Huo Yan? Why is Mr. Lu so afraid of his wife?" someone raised doubts.

Followed by.

Another person whispered, "He is not someone we can get close to. It is said that he was once extremely powerful in Yuncheng. When he was alive, he could bankrupt the Lu family with just one word."

The sound of people gasping for air was heard continuously.

"But isn't the person already dead?"

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Huo Yan is gone, and the Huo family has been inherited by his wife."

"No wonder Mr. Lu is so scared. Why didn't Lin Xingran tell me earlier that she knew such a powerful person? Who in the circle would dare to bully her?"

Rude remarks kept reaching his ears. Lu Weichang clenched his teeth and was almost unable to stand. The person in front of him finally spoke with mercy.

Qiao Qin: "Okay, go now."

The dinner was still going on, but many people were not paying attention to the meal. Instead, they were thinking about how to start a conversation with Mrs. Huo.

The obscure gazes around her made Qiao Qin feel uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and said to Lin Xingran, "I'm going to the bathroom."

After a while.

Qiao Qin stood in front of the basin, bending over to wash her hands, when suddenly a familiar female voice sounded from behind.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

She was stunned for a moment, and the moment she looked up, she happened to see the person behind her through the mirror. The other person's face was heavily made-up, but she could still recognize traces of the past through her eyebrows and eyes.

Qiao Qin's eyes widened and she blurted out: "Bai Mengyi? Why are you here? And..."

The second half of the sentence suddenly paused.

The person in front of me was wearing a sexy vest and a hip skirt, which was completely different from her previous image of a little white flower, and her temperament had also changed a lot.

If it weren't for the teardrop mole at the corner of the eye, Qiao Qin almost didn't recognize the other person.

Bai Mengyi smiled and said, "I'm here to attend the concert, too."

There was a strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol on her body, which became particularly obvious when she got closer. Qiao Qin couldn't help but frowned and subconsciously held her breath.

"Sorry, I stung you." Bai Mengyi stopped and said embarrassedly.

Not right.

The person in front of her has changed so much that the Bai Mengyi in the past would never apologize to her.

Qiao Qin was full of doubts, and finally asked: "I heard from Bai Siwen that you have left Yuncheng. When did you come back?"

Bai Mengyi's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth formed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Where can I go if I leave here?"
