Beijing has the highest housing prices in the country; even an ordinary house in Beijing would cost at least ten million yuan.

Wen Shengsheng immediately covered her hand.

Several of those present were senior executives at Qingshan Capital, who had regular contact with Gong Xiaochen and might have noticed the men's ring on his hand.

"What are you blocking, Sheng Sheng? Did Li Chuan give it to you?" Li Wanqiu was clearly burning with jealousy inside, but on the surface she pretended to be curious and happy.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sister-in-law. This wasn't a gift from Li Chuan. We broke up more than half a month ago. This ring is actually a designer one that I bought online for 9.9 yuan. I was just too embarrassed to say it earlier." Wen Shengsheng was panicking inside, but she tried to explain calmly.

"You broke up with Li Chuan!?" Li Wanqiu was clearly surprised.

"Mm." Wen Shengsheng nodded, looking at Xi Yu curiously, "Brother Yu, didn't you tell your wife?"

Xi Yu's cold gaze shifted from the table to Wen Shengsheng, carrying a hint of anger and warning.

Wen Shengsheng, however, was not afraid.

Your woman is always causing me trouble, so what's wrong with asking you to clean up her mess? I'm not blaming you at all.

After a long silence, Xi Yu said in a deep voice, "I just heard from Li Chuan that he and Ruth are together."

Li Wanqiu's watery eyes flickered, and she immediately looked at Wen Shengsheng with a pained expression.

"That Li Chuan is really something. He never took you seriously when we first got together, and now that it's only been a short time, he's already cheated on you with another woman."

"Sheng Sheng, don't worry. You're so outstanding and beautiful, you'll definitely meet a good man. Don't rush, I'll introduce you to some good ones later."

"No need, I'm not in a hurry at all." Wen Shengsheng calmly ate a bite of food. "Isn't Li Chuan someone my family introduced to me? I'll find someone myself in the future, it's more reliable."

Despite being directly rejected, Li Wanqiu was not angry; instead, a clear sense of smugness appeared in her eyes.

Before long, he couldn't sit still any longer and said he wanted to go next door to entertain his friends.

Wen Shengsheng knew very well that the movie queen wanted to go over and share this "good news" with everyone!

She silently said a few words to Li Chuan in her heart.

Brother, I'm sorry!

It's all that damned bitch Li Wanqiu's fault.

You're the one who'll have to take the blame for being a scumbag.

"Oh~ I wanted to come and celebrate Xi Yu's birthday. There are so many people here." A smiling male voice suddenly rang out at the door of the private room.

Everyone turned their heads to look at it.

It is Xi Jianguo.

"How could it be inappropriate for Second Master to come? Please take a seat." President Wang warmly invited Xi Jianguo to sit down.

The people from Qingshan Capital also stood up to welcome Xi Jianguo.

"Second Master, you really like to joke. If it weren't for your personal visit to Qingshan Capital, how would we have been able to get in touch with such a great project as Hongyuan?"

"Everyone is being too polite. Tonight isn't a business dinner; it's mainly to celebrate my nephew's birthday." Xi Jianguo said as he took his seat, waving to everyone in a friendly manner, like a patriarch.

Seeing that he had taken his seat, everyone else returned to their seats.

Wen Shengsheng's heart sank suddenly, and countless terrible thoughts flashed through her mind.

The Hongyuan project was actually brokered by Xi Jianguo himself!?

He would never help Xi Yu.

What is the purpose of this action?

Is the intention to harm Qingshan Capital, or Xi Yu?

Wen Shengsheng felt uneasy and decided to take the initiative to ask Gong Xiaochen about his thoughts on the Hongyuan project.

She moved her phone to the bottom of the table.

【Are you occupied?】

Just as she sent a message, Xi Yu suddenly grabbed her hand.

Wen Shengsheng froze.

She looked up at the crowd, who were exchanging pleasantries with Xi Jianguo and did not notice the two's subtle actions.

Wen Shengsheng narrowed her eyes and gave Xi Yu a warning, then tried to pull her hand back.

But Xi Yu clearly didn't want to let her go. Instead of letting go, he held her small hand in his palm and gently stroked it.

Seeing that she couldn't pull her hand back no matter what she did, Wen Shengsheng rolled her eyes and simply gave up.

She scratched Xi Yu's palm with her fingertips, and then began to write.

Be careful of your second uncle!

Upon hearing this, Xi Yu turned to look at her.

Wen Shengsheng nodded to him with a solemn expression.

Xi Yu's brow, which had been furrowed all night, finally relaxed, and a warmth seemed to flow through his cold eyes.

Hongyuan's project is now also related to Qingshan Capital, so she can't just keep arguing with Xi Yu; she must make things clear where necessary.

To avoid ruining something important.

Xi Yu squeezed her palm and wrote a word as well!

【it is good! 】

"Sheng Sheng, I need to go to the restroom, do you want to go?" Dong Xinyao seemed a little drunk, her eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Wen Shengsheng was surprised; Xi Yu was the host, but he hadn't made everyone drink much.

Why is she drunk?

However, she really didn't want to get entangled with Xi Yu at the moment, so she immediately nodded in agreement.

Xi Yu had no choice but to let go of her hand.

But his gaze followed Wen Shengsheng until she left the private room.

Xi Jianguo watched everything before him with a smile.

While Wen Shengsheng was waiting for Dong Xinyao in the bathroom corridor, she saw that Gong Xiaochen had replied to her message a few minutes earlier.

[I'm not busy, what's up?]

【鸿...】

As she was typing rapidly, she suddenly smelled a pungent odor.

Wen Shengsheng was startled and was about to turn around.

The person's mouth and nose were covered from behind, and within seconds, they lost consciousness.

*

When Wen Shengsheng regained consciousness, before she even opened her eyes, she heard several very heavy breathing sounds, and the air around her was filled with a strong smell of mutton and blood.

After only a few breaths, she opened her eyes with a dry cough.

The room that came into view was very dark.

As soon as she woke up, three black hunting dogs reeking of a foul stench gathered in front of the cage, howling and baring their teeth in her direction.

A wide leather leash was fastened around the necks of three hunting dogs, which were being held back from behind to prevent them from getting too close to Wen Shengsheng.

A tall, strong figure stood behind the three hunting dogs.

Seeing that Wen Shengsheng had woken up, he slowly squatted down, revealing an excited and manic smile from the darkness.

"Hello, Sheng Sheng, it's great to see you again. I'm Zhou Xiang!"

Zhou Xiang...

Super Hero Zhou!!!
