She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted into Song Yuchen's nostrils as the two drew closer.

The warm, damp touch on her arm made Fang Li feel as if she had been slick with venom, and she immediately shook it off with disgust.

"Do not touch me!"

Fang Li took two steps back, quickly creating distance between herself and Song Yuchen.

Song Yuchen's fingers curled up as he missed, and he slowly withdrew his hand with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Why.......?"

He suddenly said this out of the blue, and Fang Li looked up at him with cold eyes.

Song Yuchen's expression was desolate, with a hint of suppressed anger. Looking at Fang Li's face, which was devoid of any warmth or emotion, the sense of betrayal and humiliation surging in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

"Was that man from Hangzhou the one just now?"

"...So what if it is?"

"So, you were already in an ambiguous relationship with him back then? So, your decision to break up with me wasn't actually because of Yu Wei, but because you... changed your mind? So, the love you keep talking about is so cheap that it can be measured in money?!"

With each sentence he spoke, he took a step closer to Fang Li, his tone shifting from hurt and cold at the beginning to anger and hatred at the end!

Fang Li's eyes were devoid of any expression, her gaze calm and indifferent as she looked at him, like a stagnant pool of water without any ripples.

Enraged by her cold expression, Song Yuchen gripped her shoulders and roared through gritted teeth, "You betrayed our relationship! You betrayed me!"

"..." Fang Li lowered her eyes and paused for a moment, then slowly lifted her eyelids and looked at him with a mocking gaze, "If this can bring relief to your conscience that doesn't even exist, then I am."

So, I am...

Song Yuchen didn't hear a word Fang Li said at all; his ears only caught the last four words, especially the words "I am," which echoed in his mind like a curse...

The hand gripping Fang Li's shoulder slowly and weakly slipped away.

Fang Li remained motionless throughout, watching him stand there dejectedly. She glanced at him coldly, a chilling sneer curling at the corner of her lips, before turning away and walking away.

-

When Fang Li returned to the lounge, Yu Tian was the only one there.

"Where's the senior?" she asked as she closed the door.

Yu Tian was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone. When he saw her come in, he looked up and said, "I saw someone I knew and went out."

Fang Li nodded and went over to sit down.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing Fang Li's slightly furrowed brows and pale face, Yu Tian put down his phone and asked.

"I don't know what's wrong, I feel a little dizzy," Fang Li said listlessly as she leaned closer to the sofa.

Seeing the worry on Yu Tian's face, Fang Li smiled and said, "It's nothing. I guess the drink he brought had alcohol in it, and I drank a little too much."

"...Should we go back first?"

"The banquet isn't over yet, it wouldn't be good to leave early, let's wait a bit longer."

Fang Li leaned back on the sofa and gently closed her eyes. Her cheeks, which had just cooled down a little, began to feel hot again, and the dizziness in her head grew stronger.

It seems that thing isn't really a beverage; it's probably a mixed cocktail.

Applause occasionally rang out from outside, but the lounge was quiet as Fang Li closed her eyes to rest and Yu Tian turned off his phone.

However, the silence didn't last long before there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

Yu Tian frowned, glanced at Fang Li, and got up to open the door.

"Hello, is the person inside Ms. Xu from Liyun Studio?"

Yu Tian stood in front of the door, looking at the two people there with a cold expression: "What is it?"

One of the men, dressed in a brown suit, raised his hand: "Li Qian of Wenxi Film and Television, this is Mr. Yu Haiming, the chairman of the Yu Group. He has something he would like to discuss with Miss Xu."

"Brother God."

Yu Tian turned around and saw that Fang Li, who had been resting with her eyes closed, had opened her eyes and was sitting up at some point. Apart from a slight blush on her cheeks, there was nothing unusual about her.

She nodded at him with a normal expression. Yu Tian paused for a moment, then stepped aside.

The two stepped inside.

Yu Tian closed the door behind him, stood with his arms crossed against the door, and silently watched the two walk toward Fang Li.

"Miss Xu?"

Before she even got close, a slightly overweight man who looked to be in his forties and was less than 1.7 meters tall extended his hand first, "I am Li Qian from the Strategy Department of Wenxi Film and Television. It's a pleasure to meet Ms. Xu."

Fang Li couldn't be too indifferent to the people at Wenxi Film and Television.

She stood up, gave Li Qian's outstretched hand a light shake, and smiled faintly: "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Qian then introduced, "This is Chairman Yu of the Yu Group. He came here specifically to get to know Miss Xu because he saw how much she liked Yu's jewelry."

Li Qian was all smiles from beginning to end, which showed that he was a seasoned businessman with many years of experience and was very adept at social maneuvering.

Fang Li smiled and looked at Yu Minghai beside him: "Yu's Jewelry... could it be that you are...?"

"Yu Wei's father."

Fang Li's smile paused imperceptibly, and her brows twitched almost imperceptibly.

Yu Minghai is over fifty years old, but because he takes good care of himself, he looks about the same age as Li Qian next to him.

He was quite tall and in good shape. He wore a sharp suit and his hair was meticulously styled. He had handsome features and a refined demeanor. Although he had a smile on his lips, it didn't make him seem approachable. Instead, it gave people a sense of unfathomable distance.

"Mr. Yu, did you contact me because of Yu Wei?"

Yu Minghai stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Xu doesn't seem very happy about my daughter. It seems there are quite a few misunderstandings between her and Miss Xu."

"So, Chairman Yu contacted me to act as a peacemaker?"

Yu Minghai raised his hand noncommittally, "I wonder if Miss Xu will give me this opportunity."

Fang Li remained silent for a moment, then slowly chuckled, "Chairman Yu, isn't it inappropriate for elders to interfere in the grudges between young people? Or... does Chairman Yu insist on avenging his daughter?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little smile on Fang Li's lips vanished completely.

What does Yu Wei mean?

She suffered a loss at her hands, so she asked her own father to help her seek justice.

I never expected that Yu Wei was actually the daughter of the Yu family.

She had heard of both of Yu's jewelry brands, with Hailing Jewelry being particularly renowned internationally.

However, even if it is the Yu family, it is just a small business that barely ranks at the bottom among the major domestic enterprises. She really doesn't take it seriously.

Fang Li remained calm as she quietly watched Yu Minghai.

What puzzles her now is that Yu Wei, a person who would flaunt her purchase of a haute couture dress for days, has such a distinguished family background, yet she has never mentioned it once in all these years.

Could it be that......

Looking at Yu Minghai, who looked completely different from Yu Wei, Fang Li pondered for a moment.
