Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

Dinner.

The banquet hall was decorated in an extremely luxurious style. The huge crystal chandelier allowed Zuo You to clearly see the high-end jewelry worn by everyone. Her eyes lit up as she quickly scanned the floor.

With so many people at the banquet, surely one or two will drop some loot, right? If you find one, you'll be rich!

Leng Yichen's parents and Yi Qingyue's parents were entertaining guests in the banquet hall. Even Zuo You, a country bumpkin, could tell that the theme of the evening was to formally announce the engagement between Yi Qingyue and Leng Yichen.

Those invited came from various industries, including business tycoons, rising political stars, and leading figures in the arts, but without exception, they were all people with established backgrounds.

Zuo You went to the dining area, picked out a few snacks, and then focused her attention on the entrance to the hall.

As is customary, the main character usually makes a grand entrance last, while the female lead disguises herself as a waitress.

A waiter in a black suit came to her side, and Zuo You naturally took the champagne from his tray, casually hooking his palm with her little finger, her almond-shaped eyes with eyeliner slightly upturned.

"Stop fooling around." Shen Yan gave her a warning look and went to do other things.

Zuo You pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over the short waiters on the scene like an X-ray, but she didn't notice Su Nuannuan at all.

[Strange, hasn't the female lead arrived yet?]

Suddenly, a restrained gasp echoed through the banquet hall. Zuo You's eyes widened: Isn't that the female lead?

It turned out that Leng Yichen, dressed in a black suit, had entered with Su Nuannuan. The black suit and the silver strapless dress were a good match.

Zuo You, eager to watch the spectacle, moved a little closer and, sure enough, saw Leng's parents walking towards Leng Yichen with displeased expressions.

However, Leng Yichen maintained a faint smile throughout, and after the two finished speaking, he kissed Su Nuannuan's hand before slowly entering the inner room.

A simple action stirred up a huge wave of emotions. Yi's father's face was so dark that words could not describe it. Leng's father, with a forced smile, pulled him into the inner room.

Zuo You ate another small cake. Anyway, she couldn't get into the inner area, so the disputes inside were none of her business.

"Is it tasty?"

A person came from the side, and when Zuo You turned around, she almost dropped the cake in her hand.

"Surprised to see me?" Wei Ci raised an eyebrow, his gaze momentarily captivated when it fell upon her.

Zuo You was wearing a black square-neck velvet dress today, which was a little tight at the chest. She felt a bit choked after taking a bite of cake, so she swallowed and then took a big gulp of champagne to feel better.

"I was a little surprised because I thought humans made noise when they walked."

Wei Ci sensed a subtle resentment in her tone. He suddenly smiled knowingly and handed her a check, saying, "This is for your payment last time. Fill it out yourself."

This woman is interesting. She managed to save him in a moment of crisis last time, and he initially thought she was acting under someone's orders. But after investigating, he found out that she was just a nobody with no background, and that last time was just an accident.

However, seeing her here today was unexpected for him; it seems she is not as simple as she appears.

"Really, can I fill this out? What's the maximum number I can fill out?" Zuo You was radiating vitality, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

Wei Ci lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Whatever you say."

It's just a check; doesn't she know she's playing the long game? Of course, it's also possible she's using a strategy of feigned indifference to lure him in.

"Thank you, boss!" Zuo You let out an excited shout, quickly pulled a pen from her pocket, and started writing and reciting: "Nine hundred million, nine thousand, nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine thousand, nine hundred, ninety-nine yuan, nine jiao..."

"Why didn't you bring two more people forward?" Wei Ci's forehead veins bulged, and for the first time, he had the urge to swear. This woman was toxic!

Zuo You's face changed, and she threw the check at him. "Didn't you say I could fill it in however I wanted? If you can't afford it, don't pretend. You're wasting my feelings."

"You like money that much?" Wei Ci's hand, gripping the check, bulged with veins. Very well, this woman has a knack for provoking people.

Zuo You wiped away her tears and blurted out, "Waaah~ Money is my best friend. Without money, it's like a fish out of water, a child without its mother. You rich people don't understand the lives of us poor people..."

Wei Ci was overwhelmed by what he heard, so he pulled out another check and slammed it on the table.

Zuo You glanced at it and saw it was one million. How could this domineering CEO be so stingy?

She reached out to take it, but Wei Ci didn't move. Zuo You gave him a questioning look, as if to ask whether he should give it to him or not.

"Do me a favor and the money is yours."

Zuo You immediately became alert and said righteously, "I earn all my money through hard work. I won't do anything illegal or disorderly, and I, I won't sell myself!"

Wei Ci stared at her for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "Tonight, you're going to sabotage the marriage between the Leng and Yi families. You're Yi Qingyue's friend, so this task shouldn't be difficult for you."

"This...this is my friend's happiness, I..." Zuo You pinched the outside of her thigh desperately to stop herself from laughing out loud.

Is this what they call giving money away?

"An additional 500,000 will be added after the deal is done."

"Alright, I'll give it a try." Zuo You carefully put away the check and cautiously asked, "If I help you, I might offend some people. Will you back me up?"

Wei Ci chuckled lightly, "Even if you overturn this banquet today, no one will dare to do anything to you."

Zuo You gave two thumbs up; that's the aura of a domineering CEO.

The music in the banquet hall was lowered, and Yi's father stood on the stage to give his opening speech. His complexion was much better than before, probably because he had a good talk with the Leng family in the inner hall.

Although the two families have a good relationship, they don't necessarily have to get married. In addition, after Leng Yichen's outburst just now, Yi's father will probably have to reconsider and at least not appear too eager.

Sure enough, the speech lasted for several minutes and was all just polite talk. There was no mention of the marriage between the two families. Zuo You glanced at the Leng family's faces, and they were indeed not very good.

Many young people attended the banquet; men and women, dressed elegantly and chatting amiably.

Wearing a silver strapless dress, Su Nuannuan looked like a little fairy who had accidentally wandered into the mortal world, moving lightly through the crowd with her youthful yet unpretentious movements.

Zuo You showed off another small cake, silently counting, "Three, two, one!"

After the count of three, a space magically appeared in the center of the banquet hall, and men and women dressed in exquisite and appropriate attire automatically retreated like NPCs in a game, forming a circle.

As Zuo You stepped forward to secure the best viewing spot, she asked, "Is this girl also cannon fodder? So if any damage happens later, it shouldn't fall on me, right?"

The woman standing in the center wore a gorgeous floor-length gown and exuded an undeniable arrogance, holding an empty wine glass in her hand.

And opposite her was the female lead, Su Nuannuan.

The woman raised an eyebrow, her posture relaxed, and said unhurriedly, "Is 20,000 enough to compensate you for your dress?"
