Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

When Wen Shengsheng went to Xi's again, she stayed with her colleagues. Du Yuan would wait for her at the entrance of Xi's when she got off work.

So she never saw that perverted man again.

Around the fourth day, the investigation finally came to an end, and Xi Yu arranged a very high-end restaurant to entertain the entire team.

The results of the investigation will affect the final decision-making process within Qingshan Capital.

Xi Yu naturally had to show the utmost enthusiasm.

Wen Shengsheng declined the dinner party as usual.

She had already reached the office door when Du Yuan told her that his car had broken down and he wouldn't be able to get there for a while.

Just then, Dong Xinyao called out to her.

"Sheng Sheng, you're not going to the dinner party again today?" She looked over with curiosity. "Your boyfriend won't give you a day off?"

Her shout drew everyone's attention to Wen Shengsheng.

Xi Yu sat at the very front, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his gaze sweeping over with a chilling intensity.

Wen Shengsheng was extremely embarrassed.

"I know you're afraid of affecting your work and have been avoiding suspicion." Dong Xinyao came over and took her arm, whispering, "But tonight is your brother's birthday, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to leave now, your colleagues will understand."

Only after being reminded by her did Wen Shengsheng realize what was happening.

Yes, today is Xi Yu's birthday.

The words of refusal tugged at her lips, but Wen Shengsheng swallowed them back.

"No, I just went to the restroom. I'll be there tonight."

She hasn't left the Xi family yet, so it would be strange if she didn't even attend Xi Yu's birthday party, which would arouse everyone's speculation.

Hearing her say that, everyone looked away.

Xi Yu's complexion looked better.

The restaurant is called Peacock Ceremony.

It is a high-end restaurant under the Xi family name.

On the way, Wen Shengsheng sent Du Yuan the location of a restaurant, asking him to come pick her up there after he fixed the car.

It's impossible for actress Li Wanqiu not to attend Xi Yu's birthday celebration.

She was already waiting at the restaurant entrance before Wen Shengsheng and the others arrived.

Upon seeing Xi Yu, she happily ran over and took his arm.

"What are you doing here?" Xi Yu seemed unaware of her presence, and looked somewhat surprised.

“How could I not come to your birthday party?” Li Wanqiu was very considerate to Xi Yu. “Don’t worry, it won’t affect your work or the dinner party. I’ve booked another private room next to yours and invited some of your friends. You can just come and sit down in the middle.”

"Oh my, look how considerate Wanqiu is, she's thought of everything so thoroughly," exclaimed Mr. Wang, a senior executive at Xi's Group.

"No, Uncle Wang, this is what I should do!" When praised in public, Li Wanqiu put on her signature gentle smile, which was generous and appropriate.

"Uncle Wang isn't exaggerating at all. Our Wanqiu is the best wife. No wonder our CEO Xi likes you so much." After saying this, CEO Wang turned to Wen Shengsheng in the crowd. "Shengsheng, isn't Uncle Wang right?"

Li Wanqiu hadn't noticed Wen Shengsheng at all until President Wang reminded her that Wen Shengsheng was standing at the very back of the group.

The smile on her face froze instantly, and she looked at Xi Yu in disbelief.

Xi Yu, however, looked at Wen Shengsheng.

"Uncle Wang is absolutely right. Brother Yu and Sister-in-law are a match made in heaven. The only thing that makes everyone unhappy is that they're still not married, which means I don't even have a little nephew to hold," Wen Shengsheng said with a dry laugh, teasingly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Wanqiu's expression was a little stiff, but upon hearing Wen Shengsheng's words, she had no choice but to put on a smile along with everyone else.

“Our Sheng Sheng is the closest to her brother. She often says that she must be good to her brother and repay the Xi family.”

"Now that she's finally able to handle things on her own at work, she immediately started helping her brother, and the old man is extremely pleased."

As soon as she said that, the smiles on the faces of the crowd immediately faded.

They were on a business trip, but Li Wanqiu's words made it seem as if Wen Shengsheng was abusing her power for personal gain and secretly helping the Xi family to profit.

Wen Shengsheng was so angry that her teeth ached. Just as she was about to retaliate, Dong Xinyao spoke up first.

“Miss, you’re not right.” She raised an eyebrow. “The Hongyuan project was decided by our big boss himself. It’s not something a lowly employee like us could decide.”

"That's right, the money is also from the company. Since Miss Li likes her sister-in-law Sheng Sheng so much, instead of just saying these things, she should whisper in Mr. Xi's ear and prepare some dowry for our Sheng Sheng. The child is grown up and it's time for her to get married."

Ba Wen's words had a double meaning, putting Li Wanqiu and Xi Yu on a high pedestal.

Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but laugh, and immediately gave her master a thumbs up.

Xi Yu's face turned cold, and his icy gaze pierced Li Wanqiu like a sharp sword.

Only then did Li Wanqiu realize that her careless words in this situation had clearly affected Xi Yu's work.

His face flushed red and then turned pale, and he hurriedly called everyone to walk towards the Peacock Ritual Hall.

As Wen Shengsheng passed by Xi Yu, he tugged at her arm.

He said in a low voice, "I didn't ask her to come today."

"When will you be able to control your woman?!" Seeing that everyone had left, Wen Shengsheng shook off his hand and glared at him angrily. "It's one thing for her to deliberately harass me all the time, but these people today directly decided the investment outcome of the Hongyuan project, and she still dares to do this?"

"If the investment falls through and you lose your job, what good will it do for you, me, or her?!"

Then, she stopped communicating with Xi Yu and strode into the restaurant.

Xi Yu seemed to be covered in frost, standing at the restaurant entrance for a long time before walking in with a cold face.

Although it was a business banquet, it was Xi Yu's birthday today, so everyone consciously arranged for Wen Shengsheng to sit next to Xi Yu.

Li Wanqiu was on the other side.

Around seven o'clock, Gong Xiaochen sent a message.

Why didn't you go home? Are you working overtime?

There are surveillance cameras in the house, and Gong Xiaochen can see what time Wen Shengsheng comes home every day and what she does.

The two of them would sometimes have a long chat from a distance.

I guess I didn't see her on the security camera today, so I sent her a message to ask her.

Wen Shengsheng: [The car broke down; Du Yuan is fixing it.]

I'm here for a colleague's dinner party. Xi Yu is here too. I'll slip away early at 8:00, and you'll see me on the security camera at 8:30.

Gong Xiaochen: [Tsk, you understand me so well? I'll reward you when we get back.]

Wen Shengsheng: [Tch! Are you rewarding me? You'd be more like rewarding yourself!]

What else could he reward himself with besides that?

Wen Shengsheng smiled slightly and sent another message to Du Yuan.

Call me at 8 o'clock and say you need to speak with me.

Okay, Ms. Wen.

After calming the Tibetan Mastiff down, all the dishes were served.

Li Wanqiu greeted everyone like a hostess, warm and considerate, and everyone quickly forgot the unpleasantness at the restaurant entrance.

Wen Shengsheng didn't want to have any presence, so she buried herself in her food like a quail, and didn't talk to anyone except Dong Xinyao beside her.

"Sheng Sheng, the ring on your hand is so pretty! Is it expensive? I want to buy one too!"

During the meal, Dong Xinyao chatted with Wen Shengsheng.

"This was a gift from someone, and I don't know where I bought it."

Upon hearing this, Li Wanqiu glanced at Wen Shengsheng's hand and her face immediately froze.

Remembering how Dong Xinyao had deliberately embarrassed her at the restaurant entrance, Li Wanqiu concealed her jealousy and pretended to be kind as she explained to Dong Xinyao.

"That's not a ring that ordinary people can afford. See the gold engraving on the ring? That's a unique technique that AW Studio has developed this year, and it's usually only available to high-end VIP customers who order custom-made items."

"Don't underestimate this small ring; its value is enough for an ordinary person to buy an apartment in Beijing."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned to look at Wen Shengsheng's hands.
