Chapter 29: Spit It Out
Sympathy" Zhong Yuxuan followed his gaze, "You said that Xiang Yu drugged you this time, and Xiang Wan seduced you. You just slept with her, and then naturally got together. Wouldn't that be better"He...Towards Evening tightly clenched her hand, without looking back, "Mr. Jiang already has a girlfriend. Staying here with me, wouldn't you be afraid of being misunderstood by your girlfriend"
The force on her shoulders eased, and she didn't even glance at Jiang Qi Feng as she walked straight out of the stairwell.
It's just bad luck that I ran into Song Qiao.
Toward Evening paused, then continued forward, but no matter which direction she went in, Song Qiao mirrored her movements, effectively blocking her path.
"What does A Feng want with you" Song Qiao asked through gritted teeth.
Towards Evening didn't answer but asked back, "Everyone says I broke Jiang Qingran's leg. Do you think Mr. Jiang would be with the enemy of his sister"
Song Qiao hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't rest assured, "If you have nothing to hide, just tell me honestly why Afeng found you."
"If you have any questions, just ask me." Jiang Qifeng walked out from the stairwell, his face not looking very good.
All the jealousy and hatred on Song Qiao's face disappeared, leaving only panic and uneasiness. She ran to Jiang Qi Feng's side, hugging his arm, and whispered, "A Feng, I..."
Towards Evening didn't want to get involved in their couple's drama. Without Song Qiao's obstruction, she directly entered the banquet hall.
At the banquet, everyone was dressed in fine clothes and makeup, holding glasses of wine and chatting merrily. She stood out with her messy short hair and a plain cleaning uniform, feeling completely out of place. For a moment, she didn't know where to go.
She stared blankly as He Hanchuan stood beside Jiang Qingran, talking to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang. She didn't know what they were talking about, but a faint smile played on his handsome face.
And her father, along with several men in suits, were laughing and chatting. He only glanced at her briefly before quickly averting his gaze as if he had seen something disgusting.
This was the first time she had truly realized she was utterly alone.
"Miss, Mr. He asks for you to come over." the waiter walked over and said.
向晚 wearily nodded, dragging her heavy legs toward He Hanchuan.
"Moona, your clothes are all wet. You'll catch a cold wearing them overnight," Jiang Qingran said softly. "Why don't you change into my dress first"
"She broke your legs, and you're still so good to her Are you stupid" Jiang's mother said reproachfully, "Did she sell you, and you're still smiling and counting money for her"
Towards Evening lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, anger churning in her chest, but besides enduring it, there was nothing she could do.
He Hanchuan let out a light chuckle, saying ambiguously, "Aunt Lin, you don't seem to know your daughter very well."
Jiang Qingran silly Hmph, a joke.
"" Jiang's mother looked at him, not understanding what he meant. Jiang Qingran in the wheelchair, however, did not look too happy.
He didn't mean to explain anything. He just placed the empty glass on the waiter's tray, grabbed another glass of champagne, and strode away with his long legs.
Towards the back, Yi Ran followed closely behind him. Her stomach wasn't feeling well; she hadn't eaten at mealtime and now it ached slightly.
"Jiang Qi Feng looking for you" He Han Chuan asked casually without even stopping his steps.
向晚 was taken aback for a moment before realizing he was asking her. She hummed in response.
"To get back into this circle, you've really put in the effort." He Hanchuan stopped and looked down at her, "Do you think that breaking Qingran's leg has any chance with Jiang Qi Feng Hmm"
His deep eyes were fixed on her, his expression as usual, yet she inexplicably felt he was unhappy. Though she couldn't figure out what had upset him.
She licked her dry lips, lowering her gaze to avoid his. "I don't."
He Jianchuan let out a light chuckle, a hint of sarcasm in his smile.
Towards Evening stretched her mouth to explain, but in the end, she said nothing. He never believed her words anyway, there was nothing to explain.
"Mr. He, long time no see," someone said as they approached with a glass of wine, smiling obsequiously.
He nodded, and was about to leave, but when he saw Xiang Wan in the corner of his eye, he stopped and said, "You are General Li, the one renowned for your brilliance"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The newcomer was surprised that He Hanchuan remembered his name. "I'm Li Guangshen from Zhu Guang Bao Sheng. I had a cooperation with your company last year..."
He chattered away ceaselessly, and finally raised his glass in a polite toast to He Hanchuan.
"I can't drink much, so I'll have someone else drink for me. Mr. Li wouldn't mind, would he" He said politely to Li, but before he could respond, he directly passed the cup to Xiang Wan behind him.
Li Guangsheng's smile froze when he saw the work uniform on Xiang Wan. He quickly said, "Don't mind, don't mind, it's an honor."
He raised his glass and laughed, "I'll drink this one to a toast!"
向晚 lowered her gaze, staring at the champagne in her hand. Her expression was grim.
It's inevitable to be pressured into drinking at a banquet, but as He Hanchuan, he didn't want to drink, and no one dared to say anything.
He's doing this just to get to her.
"Why aren't you drinking" He glanced at her, "Are you looking down on Mr. Li Or are you looking down on me"
Upon hearing this, Li Guangsheng's gaze fell on Xiang Wan, his brows furrowed, and his face was not looking good.
"No," Xiang Wan said softly, picking up her cup and taking a small sip.
He gave the champagne, which he barely touched, a glance. His voice was cold, "Just one sip. Don't you want to give Mr. Li some face"
"How could I" Xiang Wan forced a smile, suppressing tears that were threatening to spill over. She raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
Champagne flowed down my throat, a fiery burning sensation in my stomach, like being scorched by flames, pierced by thousands of needles, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.
She had a stomach ailment before she went to prison, and it was best for her to drink little alcohol, he knew.
Seeing Li Guangsheng's successful climb, many more people gathered around. Everyone tried their best to get close to He Hanchuan, this golden leg opportunity.
A-Wei had lost count of how many cups she'd drunk. All she knew was that her stomach burned, a searing pain that was almost numb. She didn't even have the chance to refuse.
"If you need to vomit, then go ahead." He glanced at her with a slight turn of his head. When he saw the cold sweat on her forehead, his eyebrows furrowed slightly before returning to normal.
Toward the end, her stomach churned violently. Acid surged up her esophagus and she suppressed the nausea, swallowing it back down.
Upon hearing this, she nodded, covered her mouth, and stumbled into the bathroom.
"Ugh!" She clutched at her collar, vomiting as soon as she entered the cubicle.
What she ate at noon had long since been digested, and after vomiting for a while, she only managed to bring up some sour water.
The sound of rushing water filled the air as someone emerged from the cubicle, turning on the faucet to wash their hands.
"Did you see Xiang Wan at the wine party today"
"Of course I saw her, dressed like that, it's impossible not to notice. How could she even have the face to show up at this kind of event Doesn't she care about being embarrassed"
"It's fine that she got dumped, but it's also embarrassing for me. I only went shopping and singing with her a few times, and now people keep saying I'm her friend and asking why I didn't say hello to her!"
"Qingran is just too kind. If she directly sued Xiang Wan for attempted murder and let her stay in prison for life, that would be so much better."
Click.
Xiangwan opened the partition door and walked out, quietly watching the two women putting on makeup in front of the washbasin.
They, like Jiang Qingran, were once her "good friends".
