Chapter 19 Nacht The white smoke blew in his face.

She was not surprised that Xie Xianshen, the important guest invited by Rokori, appeared here.

The scene suddenly stopped.

Lu Yanxing was surprised. His childhood embarrassment was caught red-handed. He hadn't even done anything wrong yet. He felt guilty and was speechless.

"Shen, you...what's wrong with you? I looked for you all over the place but couldn't find you."

"You guys chat, I'll go over there and take a look."

Young Master Lu was quick-eyed and seized the opportunity to run away.

"..."

But there was no reply, which spoiled the fun. The little joke was about to be cooked but was put back into the pot.

"Aren't you going to tell me? Go ahead and I'm listening."

She knew that what he said was not true. Since he asked, it meant that he heard the conversation between her and Lu Yanxing. Instead of playing dumb and covering it up, she might as well admit it and see how he would respond.

Xie Xianshen: "You don't feel guilty. Now that you've been caught by someone, shouldn't you talk about other topics to cover up the truth?"

Que Zhan smiled, thinking in his heart: Why should she feel guilty?

As if he could read her mind, the man continued, "You are interested in my affairs, which is not in line with the agreement we made."

In short, she had crossed the line. She had clearly said it herself at the beginning that she would not interfere in his life.

Now she was asking him about his embarrassing childhood experiences, with no basis or reason, just out of curiosity. There was no need for him to answer her meaningless question.

"If you don't want to say it, just say it. I don't really want to know." But he said one thing and meant another.

wrong.

She wanted to know so badly so that she could use the evidence against him to argue with him, and it would be best if she could make him so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

"I'd like to take this as a reminder to Mrs. Xie, don't forget it."

A businessman saw Xie Xianshen from afar and asked him to go to another place. The man did not go far when he left, but snorted to show that he was going to go against him, "My last name is Que."

He paused.

He gave a mild laugh, but she didn't see it.

"This perfume is not expired."

"..."

You just deserve a slap in the face.

There were still twenty minutes left before the press conference started, but Que Zhan didn't want to leave early. She wanted to capture the moment when her mother announced the official launch of the Encre series.

She planned to go find Lu Yanxing. They had agreed to make the embarrassing things public, so it would be unreasonable for her to be left scratching her head halfway through.

I casually picked up a glass of champagne at the table, turned around, and was blocked by someone.

"Miss Que."

Winni stood right in front of the Quezhan, holding a glass of champagne in one hand. Her wavy golden curly hair spread over her back, and her makeup switched to mature, losing its innocent look.

The sapphire blue eyes looked at her intently and chuckled, with a hypocritical fakeness.

Quezhan couldn't remember whether Winni was invited on the invitation letter, but he was indeed an uninvited guest when she was discussing cooperation with Shi Dongen.

"Is there something?"

"I am ashamed to say this." Winni lowered her head slightly and took half a step forward to get closer to Quezhan. "I had some unnecessary misunderstandings about Miss Que before. I apologize. Please don't mind it."

It was Winni who threatened to put the title of "third party" on her, and in order to embarrass her, he used Xie Ling to say a lot of unpleasant things.

Quezhan knew that she was not here to apologize, "My time is precious, please get out of the way."

"Miss Que, Miss Que..." Winni took a few steps back to stop her.

When asking for help from others, one should be humble. She admitted it and her tone softened, unlike the aggressive tone she had seen with Quezhan before. "Yes, I want to ask you for a favor." The

reason Winni came to Quezhan for help was because of her cooperation with Levi Magazine in early April.

Levi's reputation in the magazine industry is world-renowned, and his influence is naturally high. This cooperation opportunity was hard-won by the company and the team. When it came to the last step of signing the contract, she thought it was a done deal, but Levi suddenly informed her that the candidate had been replaced.

The olive branch was withdrawn without any reason, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the company and its partners. The time that Winni had given up to shoot for Levi's magazine was also vacant, and the investment did not receive a return, which directly led to the fact that all the efforts and funds that Wanchuang had made in the early stage to win this cooperation were wasted.

Capitalists will not do business at a loss, and they will recover the profits that have been lost.

Winni was not willing to give up either. Collaborating with Levi was another stepping stone for her to reach the top of the entertainment industry, and she was determined to get it.

"Please... help me." The arrogance of the past was shattered in an instant. Winni applied the principle of 'being able to bend and stretch' against his will, "This opportunity is also a... new challenge for me. I don't want to lose this opportunity. If Miss Que can help me, I will agree to anything you say that I can do."

Que lowered her eyes, "Your connections should not be so scarce."

Winni choked and was hesitant to speak.

Did she think she wanted to find her? The overdue cooperation could not afford to waste time, so of course the sooner the better.

When entering, I saw Quezhan and Lu Yanxing talking happily. If I could use Quezhan to build a bridge between me and Prince Levi, even if I had to bow down and beg her, I would just grit my teeth and go.

"Miss Que, Rokori will need my work in the future..."

"Don't bother Miss Winni with my advice. Rokori can find the right temple to go to."

Quezhan did not give the other party an excuse to beg for mercy, and said, "I am not a kind person, and I don't have the time to waste my energy on other people's affairs. It's a pity that I can't do as you wish."

She still had to go find Lu Yanxing.

"Oops!" When Quezhan passed by her, Winni deliberately leaned sideways and spilled all the wine in the glass.

The thin blue skirt was stained with large areas of wet liquid, and it felt cold against the skin.

Quezhan was unable to react. A heat accumulated in her heart as she concentrated. "Are you sick?"

Winni pretended to be ignorant of the three cold words and acted surprised. "I'm sorry, Miss Que. I didn't hold the wine firmly and spilled it."

"Miss Que is so magnanimous. You won't argue with me over such a small matter, right?"

Seeing that Quezhan also had a glass of champagne in her hand, Winni took the initiative and slowly took away the glass before Quezan could respond. Now that your "weapon" is gone, what else can you use to fight back?

"This skirt is so beautiful, it's a pity..."

"Pa!"

A slap hit Winni's face accurately and loudly. The sound was like a freeze switch for the entire meeting. For a moment, there was complete silence.

Winni turned away and covered her face, unable to believe that she was slapped in public.

She turned her head back to look at the lamp, tears in her blue eyes swirled in her eye sockets, about to fall.

This beautiful woman looks so beautiful when she cries, but her heart is really dirty.

Que Zhan folded her arms across her chest. The crystal tassel earrings dangling between her earlobes were shaking under the force. Each crystal was white and valuable. The earrings were suspended in the air. She said, "It's not a small matter that a fifty million dress is dirty. I want compensation in cash, to be sent to my office tomorrow. Oh, yes, before seven o'clock."

The haute couture dress she was wearing was the latest collection of Franck Sorbier's spring and summer series this year. It has perfect and delicate workmanship and the fabrics and diamond decorations are of top quality. It was priced at fifty million when it was first launched.

Because she loved him, she spent a lot of money.

The scene was as quiet as ever, and therefore every word that Quezhan said echoed in the venue like a three-dimensional surround.

"Thank you Miss Winni for the good start for the launch of Encre's new product. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time. We'll celebrate properly."

The meaning of this slap in the face is more special than a salute to open the lottery.

Upon hearing the words, Lu Yanxing listened for the commotion, pushed through the crowd and found Que Zhan. He essentially came here to watch the excitement.

He looked at her askingly: What's going on?

"Give me the coat."

"..."

Unexpectedly, I became the younger brother who came to deliver equipment.

Lu Yanxing was standing next to him, his expression showing more drama than his thoughts: Don’t wear your coat, little ancestor.

He was afraid that Xie Xianshen would question him.

Quezhan did not wear Lu Yanxing's coat, but draped it over his waist to cover up the traces of wine contamination.

"Mr. Lu..."

Winni wanted to catch up, but her wrist was grabbed by her agent, who scolded her with a stern face: "You still think you are not ashamed enough, right...!"

Lu Yanxing followed Que Zhan and left the scene, and their figures gradually went away.

The agent was very disappointed with Winni and scolded her for being brainless. "Even if we want to ask Que Zhan for help, we should consider the occasion. Lu Yanxing refused to see us anyway, and it's no use chasing him and begging him now! Now look what happened. Not only did we not reach a cooperation agreement, but we still have to pay 50 million in compensation, you idiot!"

Winni was dragged to the corridor outside the venue before she dared to breathe a sigh of relief. She admitted that she was just angry and her mind was hot.

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this..."

She shouldn't have messed with her in the first place.

But she is not afraid of getting into trouble, because everyone has someone to rely on.

-

"Zhanzhan, what's going on."

Bai Ximan listened to Quezhan's general explanation of what happened in the hall just now, "Who does she think she is? She even dares to bully my daughter."

"Mom, she doesn't even dare to touch your daughter's hair, how can she be considered bullying." Quezhan smiled.

"I'm glad you're okay. Your clothes are wet, so you need to change them. I'll send you new clothes."

Seeing that the time was close to the Encre press conference, Quezhan said that the clothes could be sent by his assistant and sent them to Ms. Bai at his location.

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and frowned, wondering why Lu Yanxing was still here.

"Why are you still here?"

This question confused Lu Yanxing. The man leaned against the door frame and laughed: "Ancestor, you buttoned my coat. Am I supposed to attend the press conference like this?"

Oh, I almost forgot.

Quezhan took off her suit jacket. They were not far apart, so she raised her hand and threw the jacket to Lu Yanxing, "Thank you."

Lu Yanxing caught it steadily.

This room is located in the north and its windows also face north. A white tulle falls straight down from the top of the room to block the sunlight from penetrating, wrapping the room in a gilded, snow-colored color.

He is half-leaning on the table, slightly sideways, and the smooth lines of his shoulders and neck outline the picture.

With a "click" sound, a thin shadow was held between the woman's two fingers. The thin shadow was as thin as a needle or a thorn.

As aggressive as its owner.

When it reached his lips, Lu Yanxing could see clearly that it was a cigarette.

He suddenly understood why Xie Xianshen chose her.

"Make way."

A deep voice interrupted his thoughts from the side, and Lu Yanxing came back to his senses suddenly. The name he was thinking about in the last second, and the person involved appeared directly from the sky in the next second. This scared Master Lu a lot.

"Damn, you're such a ghost, can you make some noise when you walk?"

It was another time for the young couple to be alone. Lu Yanxing said to himself that he didn't want to be a light bulb, so he gently closed the door before leaving to leave a private space for the young couple.

"What are you doing here?"

The door closed so quietly that Que Zhan didn't even notice it. He only saw Xie Xianshen enter the room.

Xie Xianshen put the paper gift bag containing the clothes on the table, but suddenly he realized that didn't Ms. Bai say that she would ask her assistant to deliver it? Why did it become Xie Xianshen?

In fact, Ms. Bai happened to meet Xie Xianshen outside the venue.

By the way, let him deliver the clothes to his daughter.

Quezhan took the bag and took a look. It was indeed clothes. He paused, looked up at him, and asked, "Anything else?"

The room was not large, and wisps of pure smoke blended into the air. The faint scent of rouge and sandalwood combined, and the air was fresh.

"Do you smoke?" he asked.

Quezhan supported herself on the table with one hand, her shoulders relaxed and her neck tilted, "Don't you have eyes? You can see."

"Why, does my smoking bother Mr. Xie in any way?"

"Winni lost face for what happened at the venue today, and he won't let it go."

Xie Xianshen was reminding Quezhan. His eyes swept over her, then stopped at the slender Su cigarette between her fingertips.

"Whatever tricks this person is playing behind the scenes, we can definitely handle them with our strength."

White mist slowly rose, as if separating by a tangible boundary barrier. The man controlled the distance and stopped. She and he were in the north and south, in the dark and in the light: "The benefits of the Encre project had better not be affected by this incident."

In the capital game, he was the mastermind behind the scenes, and she was the one in charge of controlling the situation.

Strictly speaking, Xie Xianshen is Quezhan's "boss".

"Mr. Xie, are you worried about me?" Quezhan raised her wrist and slowly moved the cigarette butt to her lips. "With Mr. Xie's protection, what else can come to me? I just don't know--"

She left the words trailing off and deliberately didn't continue.

Su Yan's mouth was soft, with a thin throat, and her red lips opened and closed to exhale a straight smoke, breaking through the boundary between light and darkness, and blowing on Xie Xianshen's face like wind.

"Do you give me hope?"

Blowing smoke at someone is either a provocation or a flirtation.

It was still the scent of rouge and sandalwood, but this time it was stronger because they were close enough.

Quezhan's clothes were still wet and he hadn't changed them. There were deep marks on the side of his waist, like a curved blade that went around half of it.

The man's eyes were deep, and he suddenly remembered the night when she sat on him and he pinched her waist in the same way.

When her fingertips lightly touch the tattoo on the other side, her body will become redder and more sensitive.

"You are brave."

Xie Xianshen crossed the boundary of the smoke line, his tall figure completely blocked the bright light in front of Quezhan, and raised his tiger's mouth to pinch her neck, "You are the first person who dares to do this to me."

Quezhan was furious because of her provocation, but he smiled instead, "Are you angry?"

"I didn't do anything."

"Didn't do anything?" Xie Xianshen repeated her words, the threat still in his voice, "Mrs. Xie has done a lot."

"Next time before you meet another man, remember to choose a place where no one can find you..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Que Zhan knew what he was referring to - the time he met Meng Ye in the coffee shop.

"I said, we're friends." She interrupted coldly.

"Would a friend go so far as to wipe someone else's mouth?"

Quezhan frowned. "Are you sick, Xie Xianshen?"

What happened was that she accidentally choked while drinking water, and Meng Ye didn't find a tissue in time to hand it to her.

"I can't communicate with you."

After saying this, Que Zhan was about to leave, but Xie Xianshen didn't loosen his grip. He even increased the force a little to keep her still. He still held her neck and said, "You'd better not touch those little vixens out there."

"This is what you said to me. Now, I'm giving it back to Mrs. Xie."

The agreement stipulated that in order to maintain the dignity of this marriage, no one should cause any unnecessary trouble in their relationships.

But he looked up slightly.

He brushed his fingertips across the artery on the side of her neck, and the temperature was icy cold.

In the deepest part of her pupils, she saw Xie Xianshen leaning over and looking down at her. If she tried to escape, he would push her back.

Close enough, she could hear every word he said. His tone was deep and his voice was soft, but every word was threatening.

"If I see you behaving intimately with other men again, it won't be just a warning."
