After seeing Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao off, the matter of the curse lingered in Lin Peilan's mind.

Although Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao's points were both valid, she was also afraid of misunderstanding her younger brother, so she thought of having someone investigate so she could feel at ease.

And those business partners who sent me burial items also need to be dealt with as soon as possible!

Lin Peilan took out her phone and dialed Deng Wenyue's number, asking her to arrange for someone to investigate.

......

The third day arrived quickly, and the car arranged by Lin Peilan was waiting at the hotel entrance early in the morning.

Qiao Zihao, dressed in a handsome suit, walked briskly to Shi Xiaxia's door and gently knocked.

Shi Xiaxia opened it.

At this moment, Shi Xiaxia had changed into a black chiffon dress.

The dress was simple and elegant, with a long black tulle draped over her right shoulder that swayed with her movements, making Shi Xiaxia appear even more graceful and lively.

"Miss Shi!"

Qiao Zihao gave Shi Xiaxia a polite bow, pretending to be a gentleman.

Seeing this, Shi Xiaxia couldn't help but laugh and cooperatively placed her hand on his outstretched hand.

Qiao Zihao blushed and squeezed for a moment before letting go.

The two then left the hotel together and got into a car to go to the Film and Television Grand Ceremony.

Throughout the journey, Qiao Zihao fantasized about the glory he would receive after being noticed by a business tycoon.

Xiaxia shook her head when she heard this. That was no longer a dream; it was simply wishful thinking!

However, considering that Qiao Zihao was rather fragile, Shi Xiaxia did not expose his daydream but chose to remain silent.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the "Film and Television Grand Ceremony" venue.

Lin Peilan, who had been waiting there, immediately went up to greet Shi Xiaxia warmly when the car stopped and personally opened the car door for her.

Qiao Zihao looked at Lin Peilan with a puzzled expression, wondering why she had suddenly changed her mind.

Shi Xiaxia looked calm. Judging from Lin Peilan's expression, she must have already found out what her brother had done.

"President Lin." Shi Xiaxia nodded politely to her.

"Miss Shi, this way please."

As Lin Peilan led the two inside, she thanked them, saying, "Thanks to Miss Shi for helping to break the curse, my health has improved significantly, and things have been going smoothly at the company these past few days."

Shi Xiaxia replied, "You're welcome."

At this moment, the slightly chubby young man standing next to Lin Peilan asked with a slightly stiff smile, "Sister, is Miss Shi the master you mentioned?"

"Correct!"

Lin Peilan smiled and nodded: "You know I didn't believe in this at first, but Miss Shi broke the curse in front of me, and after that my health and the company improved, so I had no choice but to believe it!"

"To be honest, I was quite dismissive of Miss Shi when we first met."

"It's nothing." Shi Xiaxia shook her head.

Lin Yifan's eyes darted around, and he tentatively asked, "Miss Shi is so amazing! Did you manage to find out who placed the curse?"

Shi Xiaxia glanced at Lin Peilan.

Lin Peilan immediately replied, "Yifan, didn't I already say that Miss Shi hasn't found the person who cast the curse? But I'm almost there."

"What?!" Lin Yifan exclaimed in panic, his face changing instantly.

He knew his behavior was too unusual, so he quickly wiped the cold sweat from his face to cover it up and said with a smile, "Really? Sister? I was so surprised!"

"Such a grown man, still so easily startled, you gave me a fright!"

Lin Peilan glared at Lin Yifan with displeasure, then whispered, "If nothing unexpected happens, the person who cursed me is Yue Fengzhu!"

"Oh!" Lin Yifan's heart instantly calmed down when he heard that the person Lin Peilan had found was Yue Fengzhu.

He chuckled twice in relief: "So it was him! I really didn't expect that!"

Qiao Zihao didn't understand what was going on.

Didn't Shi Xiaxia already clearly tell Lin Peilan that the person who cursed him was her younger brother, Lin Yifan?

Now it's said to be under Yue Fengzhu?!

Qiao Zihao touched Shi Xiaxia's arm, puzzled, and winked at her, as if asking a question.

Shi Xiaxia shook her head slightly at Qiao Zihao, signaling him to be quiet.

Qiao Zihao obediently nodded.

While talking to Lin Yifan, Lin Peilan led Shi Xiaxia and Qiao Zihao inside.

The two arrived at the venue soon.

Shi Xiaxia raised her eyes, her gaze passing over the crowd, and saw Lu Chuanbai sitting in a wheelchair not far ahead.

He wore a blue suit today, which made him look lazy and relaxed.

There was a man standing next to Lu Chuanbai, who was tilting his head and talking to him. The man seemed to notice Shi Xiaxia's gaze and turned to look at her.

The man had a serious expression, was impeccably dressed, and exuded an aura of authority without being angry.

Shi Xiaxia's gaze swept over his face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes became meaningful.

Lin Peilan noticed Shi Xiaxia's gaze and took the initiative to introduce her: "The one sitting in the wheelchair is President Lu Chuanbai."

Although he outwardly didn't seem to care about people discussing his legs, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning it. The man next to President Lu was Le Yizhou, the son of the Le family. The two of them had a good relationship.

At this point, Lin Peilan chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Although I'm not bad in Beijing's social circles, compared to these truly powerful families, even ten of them wouldn't be enough."

Shi Xiaxia didn't answer, but quickly walked a few steps to Lu Chuanbai's side.

She had previously said she didn't want to interfere with Lu Chuanbai, but after thinking about it for a few days, she felt unwilling to give up. If she could gain his trust, the merit would be extraordinary!

Shi Xiaxia, who wanted to figure out everything, really didn't want to let it go.

When Qiao Zihao saw Shi Xiaxia heading straight for Lu Chuanbai, his expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his cheerful demeanor and followed closely behind Shi Xiaxia.

"Mr. Lu," Shi Xiaxia greeted him proactively, "Would it be convenient for me to take your pulse?"

Lu Chuanbai's cold gaze fell on Shi Xiaxia, and he said in an icy voice, "Miss Shi is quite talented."

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

Shi Xiaxia still had a smile on her face, but her voice was tinged with resentment: "I wouldn't call myself multi-talented, I just happen to be able to heal your leg!"

Lin Peilan, standing to the side: "!!!"

Lin Yifan's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was so wide open that it almost fell to the ground in shock.

As soon as Shi Xiaxia finished speaking, she instantly stopped smiling and swiftly grabbed Lu Chuanbai's wrist.

Lu Chuanbai's expression changed, and he raised his hand to dodge, but Shi Xiaxia still held it tightly.

Lu Chuanbai struggled, but was unable to break free from Shi Xiaxia's seemingly weak grasp.

Le Yizhou, who was standing next to Lu Chuanbai, finally showed an expression on his face.

He looked at Shi Xiaxia with a slight smile on his lips and a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but he had no intention of making a move.

Standing behind Shi Xiaxia, Qiao Zihao was already feeling incredibly jealous.

He thought to himself: Shi Xiaxia has never held his hand like this before!
