Chapter 87 Using her wine glass.

In early October, Huo Heng officially announced his retirement from the entertainment industry. The public opinion storm finally subsided, and Director Meng was merciful and gave the entire crew a three-day holiday.

"I'm so tired," Xiao Dong worked with the crew for several late nights and felt very resentful towards Director Meng. "Director Meng is definitely the director who likes to shoot night scenes the most."

He is also the director who tortures actors the most.

Shen Zhiyi was no more relaxed than she was. She didn't even have the energy to speak. She shot a scene of emotional breakdown seven or eight times and her voice was hoarse. "You should also take a good rest for a few days. Don't worry about me."

Xiao Dong shook his head, "That won't work. Aren't you going to attend someone's engagement party tomorrow? I'll take you there."

It was Qin Xiaoran's engagement party. She had sent the invitation several days in advance and told Shen Zhiyi to go. They had been in contact frequently since they met and their relationship was pretty good. Besides, the other party had specially invited her, so it would be inappropriate not to go to such an important occasion.

"They'll send a car to pick you up."

The engagement party was held at a manor arranged by the man, which was quite far away. Qin Xiaoran said she would arrange for pick-up and drop-off.

"Is that so?" Xiao Dong yawned, "Then I'm relieved. I'll send the dress to you later."

Shen Zhiyi was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she got home. When she opened her eyes, it was already noon the next day. She felt weak all over. She checked the time. The makeup artist she had an appointment with would be here soon, so she had to wash up quickly.

Everything was ready. Qin Xiaoran sent her a message, saying that the car to pick her up had been sent out, so she could rest assured.

Shen Zhiyi waited for the car to arrive with peace of mind.

However, Qin Xiaoran had already come up with some evil plan.

While changing into her dress, she called Pei Yu, "Brother Pei Yu!"

Pei Yu would naturally come to Miss Qin's engagement party. He had already set out from Huating. Pei Yu responded indifferently, and from his voice he was not in a good mood.

Qin Xiaoran said pitifully in a tone of "things are bad", "I forgot to arrange a car to pick up Sister Zhiyi, and now I can't find an empty car. Brother Pei Yu, can you go pick up Sister Zhiyi?"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Qin Xiaoran added, "If it's not convenient for Brother Pei Yu, I can ask other people to help..."

After a pause, Pei Yu said without emotion, "Address."

"okay!"

The car that came to pick people up arrived earlier than the scheduled time. Shen Zhiyi carefully walked down the stairs, holding up the hem of her skirt. The back door slowly opened, and her movement to get in the car paused for a moment.

Pei Yu was sitting in the car, wearing a neat black suit that highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but he seemed thinner, with sharper features, and his dark eyes were cold and unhappy.

He only glanced at her, spoke little, and said sparingly, "Xiao Ran asked me to pick you up."

Take a car with him?
Shen Zhiyi hesitated and received a message from Qin Xiaoran. She said that she seemed to have been missed when arranging the car, and asked her to come with Pei Yu, and urged her to hurry up and not be late.

She pursed her lips and said, "If you mind..."

She can take a taxi there.

Pei Yu raised his eyes and said coldly, "Get in the car."

So fierce.

Shen Zhiyi held the hem of her skirt with her hands and had some difficulty getting into the car. Suddenly, a hand reached out to her. Pei Yu still had that cold look on his face and didn't even look at her. He just spread his palm towards her.

She lowered her eyes, did not touch his hand, sat down and adjusted her skirt.

Pei Yu took a few seconds longer before withdrawing his hand, clenched it tightly, and tilted his head to look out the window.

The two did not say a word until they arrived at the manor. Qin Xiaoran's engagement party was very lively, with many people coming. Although she "forgot" to arrange a pick-up car, she did not forget to arrange a seat for Shen Zhiyi, and she gave her a table very close to the front.

When everyone was seated, they unexpectedly discovered that Meng Qiming was also at the table.

Meng Qiming seemed surprised that she actually knew Qin Xiaoran, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled at her and saw the confusion in her eyes. "Xiaoran and I are cousins."

The two of them were sitting next to each other, so it was convenient for them to talk. Shen Zhiyi started chatting with him.

"Can I call you Zhiyi?" Meng Qiming smiled gently, "I always feel that calling you Miss Shen is too unfamiliar."

The two had a cooperative relationship and had met several times. Shen Zhiyi had a good impression of him and said, "Okay."

"Hey, do you know each other?"

Qin Xiaoran strolled over and was surprised to see them chatting together, his eyes drifting between the two of them.

She specially arranged a table with strangers for Shen Zhiyi, and arranged Pei Yu among this group of strangers. She didn't believe that these two people would not talk to each other the whole time.

But the accident happened.

"Zhiyi and I are friends," Meng Qiming said with a smile, "but she is the spokesperson for CN."

So there is this layer of relationship. What a mistake. Qin Xiaoran saw people coming here one after another, so he quickly occupied the seat on the other side of Shen Zhiyi and searched for the person he was looking for in the crowd.

"Brother Pei Yu!"

Seeing Pei Yu, Qin Xiaoran felt relieved and quickly stood up to make room for him. "Brother Pei Yu, sit here and chat. I'll go look somewhere else."

Only then did Shen Zhiyi realize Qin Xiaoran's little thoughts. Qin Fang and Fu Songzhi were both at another table, but she chose to arrange Pei Yu to sit with her. Her thoughts were obvious.

Perhaps Pei Yu also noticed it, his face turned cold.

He did not ask to change seats. His eyes swept over Meng Qiming. He still remembered this man. That time, Meng Qiming also occupied the seat closest to Shen Zhiyi.

Pei Yu sat down on the seat next to Shen Zhiyi and poured himself a glass of wine.

Meng Qiming had no idea what Qin Xiaoran's intention was, and he didn't know that Shen Zhiyi and Pei Yu had known each other for a long time. He chatted with Pei Yu for a few words first, and when he saw that he didn't want to talk more, he continued to talk to Shen Zhiyi about his recent situation to avoid a dull moment.

"Did you ask for leave from the crew today?"

"No, the director gave us three days off."

"Is that so?" Meng Qiming seemed to be thinking, "My dad didn't even tell me."

Shen Zhiyi reacted, "Director Meng is——"

"Yes," Meng Qiming nodded with a smile, "It's my dad. Many people don't know our relationship."

Shen Zhiyi also curled his eyes, "He said he had a son who was in business, but I didn't expect it to be CN."

The two chatted for a while, and then Shen Zhiyi was called by Qin Xiaoran to take pictures. He put the glass down casually and only drank half of the wine.

A few people were sitting in the other seats. Meng Qiming greeted everyone he knew. He caught a glimpse of Pei Yu picking up a wine glass and quickly stopped him. "This is Zhiyi's glass. Mr. Pei took the wrong one."

She raised her long eyelashes and glanced at him, her brows and eyes were heavy, and her unhurried posture was both arrogant and strong. Pei Yu said in a calm voice, "I know."

She still brought the cup to her lips, just pressing on the light lipstick mark, and drank it all in one gulp.

Meng Qiming was stunned for a moment, and understood something from that unconcealed attitude.
