The place where Zhou Li and Xu Yingfei made out was right at the door of the bathroom.
Maybe it's because there are fewer people here.
But Jiang Mingzhu would definitely pass by them if she wanted to walk from the bathroom to the banquet hall.
She didn't know if Zhou Li and Xu Yingfei would be embarrassed after being bumped into, but she was quite embarrassed anyway.
Jiang Mingzhu's brain fell into a dead state again.
Just when she was struggling, she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.
The two people who were making out not far away seemed to hear it, and separated after being interrupted.
It's Fu Xiaozhi here.
Just now Xu Siyan told her about what happened on the terrace, and Fu Xiaozhi immediately put down the task at hand and went to the bathroom to look for Jiang Mingzhu.
Unexpectedly, the first person she saw when she came over was not Jiang Mingzhu, but Zhou Li, the "culprit".
And he is still making out with Xu Yingfei.
Fu Xiaozhi subconsciously looked towards Jiang Mingzhu, "Zhuzhu."
Jiang Mingzhu said "Yeah", she walked up and took Fu Xiaozhi's hand, and said with a smile, "I'm good, let's go out."
Before leaving, Jiang Mingzhu caught Zhou Li's eyes with her peripheral vision.
His eyes were moist and slightly red.
That was the state he would only have when he was in a state of passion and sinking.
——
Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi sat down together at the dessert table.
Fu Xiaozhi took a piece of half-cooked cheese to Jiang Mingzhu, but Jiang Mingzhu didn't eat it.
Fu Xiaozhi: "Zhuzhu, are you okay?"
As early as when he discovered that Zhou Li and Xu Yingfei were coming together, Fu Xiaozhi could tell that something was wrong with Jiang Mingzhu.
Just to take care of her emotions, some words cannot be said too directly.
But the scene in the corridor just now was really shocking.
Even Fu Xiaozhi himself was shocked, let alone Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I have known this day would come."
She put a mouthful of cake into her mouth, and the sour taste of the half-cooked cheese amplified on her tongue: "Xu Yingfei is very good."
Fu Xiaozhi: "..."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I'm going back to Hong Kong City after I've been busy for a while."
Fu Xiaozhi's original intention was to let Jiang Mingzhu stay for a while, and also take the opportunity to bring her and Zhou Li together.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Li actually had a fiancée appear out of nowhere.
Fu Xiaozhi felt regretful, but no one was in a position to blame Zhou Li.
No matter what reason Jiang Mingzhu had in the first place, her trampling on and hurting Zhou Li was true.
Zhou Li has been busy with work during this period and there are not many women around him. Now he has figured out that it is normal to start a relationship again.
——
On Monday, Xu Siyan came to Wanhua for a meeting.
After the meeting, Xu Siyan went to Zhou Li's office alone.
Zhou Li glanced at him coldly and said in a calm voice, "You have something to do with me."
Xu Siyan: "Fourth brother is so smart, he should know why I am here."
Zhou Li: "I don't know."
Xu Siyan: "Jiang Mingzhu."
He stared at Zhou Li's face and said the name, not missing any slight change in his expression.
But it was a pity that Zhou Li had no reaction after hearing this name, just like a stranger.
Zhou Li: "I'm not interested in getting involved in your affairs."
Xu Siyan: "You don't like her anymore?"
Zhou Li: "This is a good thing for you."
Xu Siyan: "There has been no woman around you in the past two years. I thought——"
"Thought I was doing it for Jiang Mingzhu." Zhou Li snorted, "She's not worthy yet."
Xu Siyan: "..."
Zhou Li: "I don't want to hear this person's name again. Don't mention her in front of me in the future."
His cold voice contained a warning, "As for your nonsense, I'd rather
Not interested in. "
Xu Siyan choked and nodded after being silent for almost half a minute.
He promised Jiang Mingzhu not to say anything, and Zhou Li's disgusting attitude really made it hard for people to say anything.
The topic ends here.
——
On Monday afternoon, Jiang Mingzhu was temporarily arranged by Fu Muye to put out the fire.
There is a sponsorship contract to sign.
Originally, Fu Muye went there himself, but he had to go to a construction site temporarily to prepare inspection materials, so the task fell to Jiang Mingzhu.
Jiang Mingzhu took a moment to look at the sponsor's information. It was a foreign company engaged in education and medical care.
The meeting place is set at the Four Seasons Hotel restaurant in the city.
Jiang Mingzhu arrived at the box ten minutes early and was waiting.
Later, when the waiter invited the other party over, Jiang Mingzhu was stunned.
She has experienced bloody things many times, but she didn't expect that God still didn't think it was enough.
Coincidentally, the sponsor who signed the contract turned out to be the company where Xu Yingfei worked.
Xu Yingfei did not come alone. She was accompanied by an assistant and two men in their forties who looked like leaders.
After seeing Jiang Mingzhu, Xu Yingfei was also surprised: "Mingzhu, why are you here?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "Fu Muye is temporarily busy."
Xu Yingfei: "What a coincidence. I wanted to treat you to dinner yesterday."
Xu Yingfei was very enthusiastic about Jiang Mingzhu. Jiang Mingzhu guessed that it might be because they got along well on the day of the school activity.
At that time, Jiang Mingzhu didn't know the relationship between Xu Yingfei and Zhou Li. If she had known, she would never have been so close to Xu Yingfei.
Fu Muye had already negotiated the sponsorship matter before, and tonight's meal was just to go through the process before signing the contract.
Drinking is inevitable on such occasions.
Xu Yingfei and several people she brought drank, but they did not persuade Jiang Mingzhu to drink.
When Jiang Mingzhu poured the wine by herself, Xu Yingfei stopped her and said, "Mingzhu, if it's inconvenient for you, you won't drink. You don't have to force it."
Jiang Mingzhu: "It's okay, I quite like drinking it."
This sentence is a lie.
After the operation, Jiang Mingzhu entered a teetotal mode.
She was not allowed to drink alcohol during her postoperative recovery, but Jiang Mingzhu gradually got used to it.
Maybe it's because I haven't been in a good mood recently, so after seeing the wine, I started to think of drinking to drown my sorrows.
Even the more you drink, the more addictive you become.
After not drinking for more than two years, Jiang Mingzhu's drinking ability has declined by no means.
After drinking a few glasses of red wine, I got addicted.
After the wine party was over, Jiang Mingzhu took the contract and wanted to stand up, but found that she was dizzy, her heels felt like cotton on her feet, and her body fell back unconsciously.
Jiang Mingzhu thought she would fall, but she didn't.
She seemed to have hit something, damn it.
Jiang Mingzhu rubbed her eyes and looked back, then turned her head and met Zhou Li's eyes.
Jiang Mingzhu's brain suddenly woke up for a moment.
"Mingzhu, are you okay?" Xu Yingfei came up to care about her, "You drank too much, let's take you back."
Xu Yingfei said that she had already put her arm on Jiang Mingzhu's arm, and Jiang Mingzhu moved away from Zhou Li.
Xu Yingfei helped Jiang Mingzhu walk a few steps. It was difficult, so she could only ask Zhou Li for help: "Zhou Li, come and help me."
Jiang Mingzhu was helped into the car by Zhou Li and Xu Yingfei.
After getting in the car, Jiang Mingzhu got even more dizzy. Jiang Mingzhu reported the address of the Prime Minister's villa and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
——
Forty minutes later, the off-road vehicle stopped at the door of Xiangfu Villa.
Zhou Li raised his eyes and saw the sleeping woman in the rearview mirror. His hands holding the steering wheel tightened a little, and his knuckles turned white.
