Shen Xi, seeing him lost in thought, suddenly stood up, opened the door, and fled the room as if escaping.
Once in the car, Shen Xi immediately took out her phone and called Song Kaicheng, asking him to quickly erect a tombstone for Yin Xi at the designated cemetery according to her instructions.
After hearing her words, Song Kaicheng asked in surprise, "Xi Xi, why are you doing this? Erecting a tombstone while the person is still alive is not good for you."
Shen Xi frowned, "I have no choice. Qin Si Ye is wise and meticulous; he's fixated on this point, and I had to resort to this tactic."
"So what if he knows the truth? You and he had no relationship in the first place," Song Kaicheng still felt it was unnecessary to do this.
"But he seems very invested in finding me. Just now, he even set a 'Hongmen Banquet' for me. It's better to have one less problem than one more; I must dispel all his doubts," Shen Xi replied thoughtfully.
She didn't want any further entanglement with him regarding her personal life.
Five years ago, Lu Yushan stole her boyfriend, she experienced betrayal in love, and later signed a contract with a fake boyfriend, who shockingly also got involved with that woman.
Heh, it truly is a case of life imitating art. Since then, she had lost faith in men.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs.
All crows are equally black.
"Alright. I'll arrange for someone to handle it now." Song Kaicheng said no more and readily agreed.
That evening, the Phantom Bar was filled with boisterous noise.
Lu Yushan was drinking and reveling with a few close friends.
"Sisters, I have some good news to share! I'm getting married next month!" Jiang Zixuan stood up, her face beaming as she announced it to everyone.
"Really? Congratulations, congratulations!" Everyone in the room sent their blessings.
"What about you all? Hurry up! Time flies by year after year, and a woman's youth is short. It's about time; don't drag it out." Jiang Zixuan scanned the crowd and advised them happily.
Han Jianing, sitting in a corner, also stood up and said loudly, "My boyfriend has agreed to take me home to meet his parents during Chinese New Year this year."
"Does that mean an engagement is also coming soon?" Jiang Zixuan raised an eyebrow.
"Mm," Han Jianing's face flushed.
"That's great! Let's all toast to Jianing's successful engagement!" Jiang Zixuan raised her wine glass and looked at everyone.
The room erupted in cheers again.
However, there was one person in the room who remained seated, drinking alone, not participating in their merriment.
Jiang Zixuan walked towards her with her wine, "Yushan, you and Qin Si Ye have been engaged for five years, when can we expect to attend your wedding?"
Lu Yushan looked up, her face cold as she said, "You all are talking about yourselves, why suddenly bring me into it."
"We all care about you. You're marrying the richest man in K City, and it brings us sisters honor too. We've been looking forward to this wedding toast for a long time, haven't we, sisters?" Jiang Zixuan said loudly with a cheerful smile.
"Yes, we've already prepared our gift money," the crowd chimed in, egging her on.
"Marriage is my personal matter, and whether it brings you honor or not has nothing to do with me." Lu Yushan suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
"Hey? Yushan, where are you going?" Jiang Zixuan was startled and felt rebuffed.
"The restroom." Lu Yushan uttered the three words with a stern face, opened the door, and left without looking back.
Just a few steps away, she ran into Su Chengyu.
"What a coincidence, you're here too?" Su Chengyu's face showed a hint of surprise.
Lu Yushan glared at him with icy eyes for a moment, then grabbed his arm and pulled him into an unmanned safety exit.
"Yushan, what's wrong?" Su Chengyu asked.
"What's wrong with me? It's all because of you that I'm being ridiculed everywhere now." Lu Yushan abruptly pulled her arm away, glaring at him with a ferocious look.
"Me? What did I do?" Su Chengyu was full of confusion, not understanding.
Lu Yushan stared at him without blinking, "When I got engaged to Qin Si Ye, if you hadn't suddenly appeared and forcefully pulled me, how would the child have been lost? Otherwise, I would have been Madam Qin by now."
Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu's voice rose several notches, "The child was mine to begin with, yet you wanted to marry him off to another man. How could I not be angry?"
