Chapter 120 Don’t get drunk on me.

"Painter!" The friend who was drinking saw someone coming out and called out, "Where's Qiming? Someone's looking for him!"

The painter hurriedly asked the hotel manager for the key to unlock the door. He just glanced at the words and didn't take it seriously at all. He casually replied, "He has something to do," and ran straight to the innermost lounge.

When the friend relayed this, he saw that the man had already followed the painter towards the lounge.

Pei Yu thought a lot before he came here, and hesitated again and again, so he suddenly turned the car on the way to Huating. As long as he thought that Meng Qiming might take this opportunity to formally propose to her tonight, his heart was burning with anger and he was completely confused.

The person in front walked into the lounge. He stretched out his hand to stop the door which was about to close, and happened to run into Meng Qiming who was drowsy and wanted to walk out.

Meng Qiming's face was abnormally flushed. Pei Yu realized something when he saw him. His face suddenly turned cold. He grabbed his collar fiercely, lowered his brows, and his eyes were gloomy. "Where is Shen Zhiyi?"

Without his answer, the painter who was about to open the lock suddenly turned back, his expression panicked for a moment. When he reacted, it was too late to cover it up.

Through the door, Shen Zhiyi vaguely heard Pei Yu's voice. Worried that she was hallucinating because she was too nervous, she hesitantly took two steps towards the door, wanting to listen carefully again.

The door handle was turned, and the next moment the sound of the lock opening was heard. Shen Zhiyi's breath was hitched, and he had no time to step back because the door was already opened.

A few blurry lights and shadows flashed before her eyes. Before she could see who the person was, the familiar agarwood had already enveloped her.

Shen Zhiyi was held in Pei Yu's arms in a daze. He was filled with the coolness of the night, the smell of alcohol and cigarettes, and was as messy as his mood at the moment.

"You trust him so much?" Pei Yu almost squeezed out these words from his throat. The strong fear made his already drunken emotions even more uncontrollable. "He asked you to come and you came. Do you really not care? He set a trap for you and you don't care? Didn't you learn your lesson from the previous incident?"

His questioning made Shen Zhiyi, who had not yet recovered from the shock, pause. This was not a question of whether she trusted Meng Qiming or not. Someone was trying every means to set a trap for her. How could she avoid it every time?

She broke free from Pei Yu's embrace, "Are you trying to say that I deserve it now?"

Her wrist was tightly held, and Pei Yu pulled her in front of him with just a little effort. His eyes were red and his anger was evident. He said word by word, "You shouldn't trust him so much. Meng Qiming doesn't deserve it."

He used a lot of force, and his wrist was hurt. Shen Zhiyi looked up at him, a little annoyed, "It's not up to you to decide whether he deserves it or not."

She pulled his hand off with all her strength, not wanting to stay here any longer, but Pei Yu moved aside to block her way, "You are still defending him now? Why should he? Shen Zhiyi, Huo Heng, Meng Qiming, but I, Pei Yu, am the only one who doesn't please you, right?"

"Pei Yu!" Shen Zhiyi's chest rose and fell, and he looked at him steadily, "Don't act crazy with me when you're drunk."

She hated this the most.

There was a commotion outside. It should be that Meng Qiming was discovered. Xiao Dong, who had been waiting for a long time, also came up to look for him. Shen Zhiyi pushed Pei Yu away, walked out quickly, and bumped into Xiao Dong head-on.

Her expression was grim, which frightened Xiao Dong. "What happened?"

Didn't he come to meet Meng Qiming? Could it be that he got angry and started a fight? But Meng Qiming didn't look like that kind of person.

"Let's talk about it when we get back," Shen Zhiyi's voice trembled, and he calmed down after calming down, "Don't ask for now."

"it is good."

Xiao Dong was worried and sent her back home.

The next day, the makeup artist went to work as usual. Just as she was about to put away her tools, Shen Zhiyi called her.

"Please help me cover this area as well."

She looked down and saw an obvious bruise on Shen Zhiyi's wrist. "Oh my god, how did you get this?" She covered the bruise with concealer and carefully looked at Shen Zhiyi's face. After hesitating for a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Did your boyfriend do this?"

It's obvious that the marks were caused by squeezing. I wonder how much force was used to create this. Although I haven't heard that Shen Zhiyi has a new relationship, the makeup artist still thought of this possibility first.

She sighed, "If that's the case, don't take it lightly. If you need to separate, then separate. If you need to call the police, then call the police."

Shen Zhiyi lowered his eyes and smiled when he heard this, "Thank you."

She said calmly, "He was drunk and mad."

"Did you do this when you were drunk?" The makeup artist was always willing to think the worst of people. "Do you have a violent tendency?"

Thinking of the time when he saw Pei Yu scolding someone, Shen Zhiyi paused before answering, "No."

After filming the first scene in the afternoon, Shen Zhiyi was reading the script on the side. Because she was too focused, she didn't notice until Meng Qiming called for the third time.

"Zhiyi," Meng Qiming said with deep regret in his tone, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't know he would do that."

He is still in the hospital because he was severely allergic to a certain ingredient in the medicine. If he hadn't been discovered in time, his life would have been in danger. He realized what had happened only after he woke up today.

"I told him that I liked you. He knew I was rejected and wanted to give me another chance," Meng Qiming regretted it very much. "I didn't know he would use this method."

No matter how good a friend is, it is impossible to understand every aspect of a person. Meng Qiming never knew that the painter would use such dirty tricks, just like the painter didn't know that he was allergic to drugs.

"It has nothing to do with you," Shen Zhiyi turned a page of the script, "You don't have to apologize to me."

He was also a victim, and his life was in danger.

"This is what I should do. If I hadn't invited you here, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing," Meng Qiming felt extremely guilty. "Is there anything I can do to make up for the harm I have done to you?"

"unnecessary."

Shen Zhiyi thought about it and said directly, "Mr. Meng, I hope that we will not have any other interactions except for business in the future."

Even if this incident had not happened, she didn't want to have any personal involvement with him anymore.

"...Zhi Yi," Meng Qiming was silent for a moment, "Okay, I understand."

"Also, I want to ask, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

He hesitated a little, "The painter said he wanted to meet you and apologize to you. He regretted what happened yesterday and was confused for a moment."

"No need," Shen Zhiyi said coldly, "Let him meet with my lawyer."

"lawyer?"

Meng Qiming was surprised. He had not thought that Shen Zhiyi would handle the matter so formally. First, she was a public figure, and it would not do her any good to have such a thing exposed. Second, she had not suffered any actual harm, so even if legal action was taken, the consequences would not be too serious.

It's actually best to settle things like this privately.
