A powerless feeling of suffocation bound me tightly. I knew how cruel the reality was, but this was the first time I felt despair throughout my journey.

Even during those days when Zhou Minghe was forcing me to do it, I still believed there was hope for the future.

But today, unless I break my inner morality and allow myself to indulge in the desire for fame and fortune, I will not be able to get out of today's predicament.

But I don't want to.

I don't want to become the person I hate.

This world shouldn't be like this.

"Brother Li, let me toast you again." Halfway through the meal, I was urged by this group of people to toast Brother Li. At first, I wanted to say that I was drunk and had a stomachache.

But those guys understand the drinking culture too well. They know that not drinking is a lack of respect. Women need to be open-minded so that opportunities can come from all directions.

My ears are about to explode from listening to this. These people look like accomplices.

In fact, I could also run away, but I knew that if I offended a man like Brother Li, the consequences would not be good.

Now that he is willing to give me face and let me toast, I should do my best and drink this glass of wine quickly.

You can't turn against him, you can't see his evil side, and there is no need to offend such a person.

Brother Li suddenly stood up, reached out and took my cup, then sat down with his arm around my shoulders. "Jingjing, look at you, why are you so polite? We don't have to be like strangers, we can be like family. Your face is already red. If you drink any more, you'll get drunk, and that'll be a disaster. Don't drink anymore. Brother Li is in a good mood today and won't make things difficult for you."

He put his arm around my shoulders, and I felt tense and terrified.

I quickly looked at Tian Jinlan who was sitting opposite me. She looked very lost. It seemed that she came here for Brother Li, but it seemed that Brother Li was attracted to me.

How I wish I could switch places with Tian Jinlan.

Unfortunately, I still underestimated the lethality of beauty. I took care of myself like a delicate flower, from head to toe, even my hair was carefully polished. But what men are best at is picking the most beautiful flower.

I really have no tears to cry.

"Thank you Brother Li for your understanding. I really can't drink anymore. My stomach is not feeling well." I pleaded in a small voice.

"Really? Where does it hurt? Let Brother Li rub it for you." Brother Li said as he was about to reach out his hand. I quickly grabbed his hand and stopped him from moving.

A flash of displeasure flashed across Brother Li's eyes, but in front of so many people, he still didn't dare to act recklessly. He just leaned over to my ear and said, "Jingjing, you're still so reserved. It's okay. When there's no one around, Brother Li will help you massage it."

I really want to vomit, but how am I going to leave here later?

Thinking of this, I immediately took out my cell phone and found that Su Beicheng still hadn't replied to my message.

My heart was pounding. It was over. Would he think that I was a very casual woman?

A man of his status actually has more and better choices. Why should he waste his time on me?

At this moment, my heart sank to the bottom. If Su Beicheng didn't want me anymore, I would not be able to escape Brother Li's clutches.

If this is really the case, then I will give up this opportunity for advancement and make some money in the future. I will become a small rich woman and still be able to live a leisurely life.

Brother Li seemed eager to help me rub it. As soon as the dinner was over, he immediately stood up and said, "Well, we had a good time today. Did everyone eat and drink well? Then let's go home and rest early."

To be honest, I've drunk three glasses of white wine now, and the Jinjiu is starting to get to me. When Brother Li was talking, my ears were buzzing.

Not only that, I seemed to have double images in front of my eyes. When Brother Li lowered his head to talk to me, I couldn’t hear him clearly. I just felt very dizzy.

"Jingjing, come on, Brother Li will take you home." As Brother Li spoke, he reached out and held one of my shoulders, letting me lean on him.

I wanted to escape, wanted to push him away, but I had no strength at all and my whole body was limp.

I really hope that at this moment, someone will be able to uphold justice and take me away from Brother Li.

A group of people walked out talking and laughing, and I found that it seemed that I was the only one who drank too much, and no one else was really drunk.

My eyes turned red, but my legs were involuntarily supported by Brother Li as I walked out.

There was a black car parked at the main entrance on the first floor of the restaurant. I don’t know if it was my eyes playing tricks on me, but I vaguely saw a familiar figure.

Brother Li, who was supporting me, stopped walking. The people who were talking and laughing around him stopped curiously when they saw Brother Li stop.

My eyes were dazed, but my brain was still a little clear. I blinked hard, and sure enough, I saw Su Beicheng.

He was standing next to the black car. At this moment, he was looking at this side. I couldn't see his eyes clearly, but I knew that he had noticed me.

I looked in his direction helplessly and confusedly. Suddenly, Su Beicheng reached out and opened his car door.

He didn't sit in the car himself, but looked at me. I vaguely felt that his breath was very cold, as if he was murderous.

Brother Li's fingers on my shoulder suddenly moved away. The next second, he held my arm with only one hand, and then in front of everyone, he sent me to Su Beicheng's car.

I was dizzy and vaguely heard what Brother Li was saying to Su Beicheng, but I couldn't hear clearly. The next second, I heard the sound of the car door slamming shut.

Immediately afterwards, the other door opened and a familiar figure got in.

The alcohol made all my consciousness dull. I turned my head and saw the man's tense profile in the light and shadow outside the window.

I know, I might be... saved.

There was a familiar aura on Su Beicheng. I was still in shock and couldn't help but move closer. I stretched out my fingers and hugged his arm tightly.

He seemed to use a little effort to shake me off.

But now he is my life-saving straw, my god, how can I bear to let go.

Not only was I not pushed away, but he hugged me tightly, like an octopus, and refused to let go even if he died.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of me, Su Beicheng stopped trying and let me hold him.

I closed my eyes and heard the sound of the car starting, and then the car moved.

The anxiety, fear, helplessness and despair in my heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only the dizziness brought by alcohol.

I don’t know how I finally got back to the room. I only know that I was half-kneeling in front of the toilet and vomiting again and again until my stomach was empty and aching.

Then a voice stood behind me and said to me, "Don't drink again next time. If you drink again, I will not care about you anymore."

After I vomited, I lay on the toilet lid and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, I was covered with a sky blue quilt, and outside the floor-to-ceiling window next to me was an old roof.

I was in a daze for a long time before I remembered that this was Su Beicheng's home and this was his bedroom.
