Chapter 14 Pei Yu is here too?
In Zhouwan South Garden, a waiter led the way in front. The corridor was covered with neat and gorgeous ivory carpets. They walked lightly and silently. Shen Zhiyi lowered her eyes slightly, and the chandelier above her head cast dots of colorful colors on her profile.
This place reminded her of what happened on the night of her third anniversary with Huo Heng. She was left here alone. Even if she hadn't met Pei Yu, she would have met someone else, or even worse, and her acting career would have been completely ruined.
Huo Heng had obviously thought of this as well. He deliberately slowed down his pace and walked to Shen Zhiyi's side, explaining in a low voice, "I have asked someone to check the person who drugged you that night. The glass of problematic wine was originally in my hand, and that person was probably targeting me."
It is not easy to make a move in such a situation. Huo Heng couldn't think of anyone targeting him, but Shen Zhiyi was indeed implicated because of him.
Fortunately, Shen Zhiyi was there, otherwise if he really had been drugged...
Huo Heng said seriously, "Don't worry, when I find the person, I will definitely not let him go."
Xu Xia, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and saw Huo Heng talking to Shen Zhiyi. He immediately slowed down his pace and said, "Brother Huo, I'm a little nervous."
Huo Heng immediately walked side by side with her and comforted her softly, "There's nothing to be nervous about. Just be nice and say hello when you meet people later. This kind of social occasion won't embarrass you."
Through Huo Heng, Xu Xia glanced at Shen Zhiyi vaguely. Although the look was obscure, Shen Zhiyi could still sense the vigilance in it.
It's really funny. Xu Xia didn't care at all during the three years of her fake relationship with Huo Heng. Now that she has taken the initiative to cut off ties with him, Xu Xia has become alert instead?
Although she is nostalgic, she no longer cares about the things she has thrown away.
"We're here," the director turned around and reminded, "This time we're going to meet Mr. Qin from Songjian Media, so be smart later."
Xu Xia nodded obediently and followed the director into the box. So what if Songjian Media wanted to promote Shen Zhiyi? She could still get the resources and connections back.
But is this Mr. Qin Shen Zhiyi’s backer?
There were already several people sitting in the box, including screenwriter Liao and producer. In the middle sat a middle-aged man in a dark grey suit with a gentle appearance. This was Mr. Qin.
Shen Zhiyi followed the director to her seat. A pair of scrutinizing eyes fell on her. She raised her head and met Qin Fangru's gaze. Unexpectedly, this man smiled at her in a friendly manner, with a hidden meaning.
Does this person know her?
The person she thought would show up didn't show up, and the guess in her mind was silently dispelled. Shen Zhiyi found it a little funny, laughing at herself for being so self-indulgent. How could that person take the initiative to intervene without her asking? He might not even know what role he was playing.
She listened quietly to the conversation among the people present. Although she was curious about why Mr. Qin suddenly invested in this drama and specifically asked screenwriter Liao to modify her role, she did not ask any questions rashly.
But even though she didn't ask, Huo Heng couldn't help it. He had already guessed that Mr. Qin was the financial backer who supported Shen Zhiyi. He had heard of Qin Fangru, and he already had a family. Shen Zhiyi was with a man like this who was not even as good as her lover. How could she waste herself like this?
Huo Heng drank a glass of red wine and felt extremely irritable. Shen Zhiyi broke up with him for such a person. Was she sure that the resources she could provide were not as good as Qin Fangru's?
"Mr. Qin."
The director was chatting with Qin Fangru when he was interrupted by Huo Heng. He looked a little unhappy, but Qin Fangru was very tolerant. "What's wrong?"
Huo Heng's face turned red. Many people knew that he had a low alcohol tolerance. Shen Zhiyi had blocked many social engagements for him in the past. Seeing him like this, she had a bad feeling.
Is he going to go crazy on this occasion?
Shen Zhiyi looked at Xu Xia. Unexpectedly, Xu Xia had no intention of stopping him. He looked calmly at the wine glass in front of him.
Huo Heng had already asked a question that many people wanted to know, "Boss Qin, I heard that this script revision was your idea. Why do you favor Shen Zhiyi so much? Do you know her?"
This statement was too outrageous and too offensive. Even though everyone had already made more outrageous guesses in their hearts, they would not ask such questions aloud and tacitly agreed.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became tense, and the director wanted to stand up to smooth things over, but Qin Fangru waved his hand. He said meaningfully, "It's not my idea to modify the script."
He was also curious and wondered who this Miss Shen was and why she had troubled that person so much.
The director immediately responded, "Yes, yes, President Qin is very busy, how can he take care of things like revising the script? Huo Heng, you are asking the wrong question, right, screenwriter Liao?"
Everyone present was a smart person, and one of them changed the subject with just a few words.
The director asked the actors to toast Mr. Qin. Shen Zhiyi stood up with the wine glass. For no reason, he suddenly remembered what that man said, "If you don't want to drink, don't drink. No one is worthy of making you suffer."
She lowered her long eyelashes and smiled faintly.
She had thought of him so many times today.
"Miss Shen, no need."
When Shen Zhiyi was about to raise her glass, Qin Fangru suddenly stopped her and said with a smile, "Miss Shen, you can just drink water instead of wine."
He can't afford this drink.
No one else cared, but Shen Zhiyi was not allowed to toast? Everyone was full of thoughts.
Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, not sure what Qin Fangru meant, and Qin Fangru didn't seem to care about her in any special way and didn't mention it specifically during the conversation.
After three rounds of drinks, the smell of alcohol in the box was getting stronger. Shen Zhiyi went to the corridor to get some fresh air. She was a little confused about whether to call Pei Yu. She was still very curious about whether he had intervened in this matter.
"Is it him?"
Huo Heng stood a few steps away, his eyes solemn, "The one who backs you up is that Mr. Qin?"
His persistence on this question was beyond Shen Zhiyi's imagination. She looked at the man she had loved for more than ten years without any expression, "How do you want me to answer?"
He didn't care how panicked she was on the day she was drugged, or whether she was physically injured, but he suspected her of being a mistress because of some unfounded evidence. How ironic.
"Of course I hope you're not! But Mr. Qin treats you——"
"Mr. Huo," Qin Fangru appeared behind him without knowing when, but he was talking to Shen Zhiyi, "Miss Shen, please go to the top floor."
He walked over and lowered his voice, saying meaningfully, "That person is here too."
Shen Zhiyi looked up in surprise. Pei Yu is here too?
She turned and walked away, her steps hurried, the hem of her skirt swaying softly in the air.
Huo Heng was so excited that he wanted to chase after her.
"Huo Heng, right?" Qin Fangru kindly reminded, "Stay away from Miss Shen."
No one with the surname Pei has a good temper. That guy's tricks can scare the entire Pei family. If you want to touch his property, your end will not be good.
