One of the waiters at the door went in to get Xiao Su. Shen Qi couldn’t go in and had to wait outside.
As she was wearing an evening dress and hadn’t got in, she was freezing as the cold wind blew. Although she was enthusiastic and had many things to tell Ye Moxuan, she couldn’t bear the cold.
She unconsciously reached out to hug herself. When a few greeters saw her shivering, one of the girls shifted her body and said, “The wind is very cold if you stand there. Why don’t you come and stand beside me?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi showed a grateful expression. Just as she was about to take a step and stand there, a shorter girl beside the girl said aloud, “Why are you offering her to come stand here? Who knows if she’s good or bad?”
Shen Qi’s steps froze, and she could not move a step further as she heard this sentence.
“Don’t speak nonsense. She doesn’t look like one. Besides, the party is coming to an end. If she had other purpose, she would have come earlier. Besides, can’t you see that she is injured?”
“So what?” the short girl replied angrily, “Do you know how many girls are trying to get close to Young Master Ye? Maybe she is just faking all her injuries. Who knows if it’s real, judging from the amazing makeup skills in this era?”
“I don’t think they’re fake though.”
Shen Qi was embarrassed by their words. She bit her lower lip and whispered, “Anyway, someone had gone in to ask. You will know if what I said is true after a while. I mean no harm now, and I’m not going to force my way in. You don’t have to say such mean words, do you?”
“Yes, Lan, that really was a little harsh. Let’s just wait a little longer!”
The short girl was outraged right away and shouted, “You think my words were harsh? You didn’t bring your invitation card, and it’s already kind of us that my colleague went in to ask. What is wrong with you and your attitude? You probably are here to hook up with some rich guy, huh?”
“Enough. Stop speaking.”
“I’m going to say it still.”
Shen Qi lowered her eyes. Forget it. I don’t care about these people. I just need to get in. It’s really important now, and I can’t be bothered about this.
Realizing that she stopped speaking, the short girl was actually pleased. “You must be feeling guilty and dare not to speak, huh? If you are lying, I advise you to leave when it’s still early, or else you won’t have a chance to leave even if you want to when Assistant Xiao is here.”
Shen Qi did not pay attention to her and just remained still in her original posture.
She wondered, Is the party going to be over soon? Will I make it in time and look for him when Xiao Su comes later?
“Stop speaking.”
Realizing that she wasn’t answering anymore, the person found it boring and didn’t care about her anymore after she turned around with a scoff.
After waiting for a long time, the man who went in finally came back.
Looking from afar, Shen Qi could see that he was rushing, but Shen Qi didn’t see anyone behind him. Her heart went cold. Is Xiao Su unwilling to come? Does that mean I won’t be able to find Ye Moxuan tonight?
Before he could come forward, Shen Qi walked quickly toward him. However, the short girl reached out and blocked her way. “Where do you think you’re going? Wait here.”
Shen Qi didn’t have a choice. She bit her lips and waited.
The man who went in soon came up to her.
“Well? Did you ask? Is she just pretending?”
Shen Qi looked at the man nervously too.
The man’s expression looked a little awkward. He scratched his head and apologized, “I’m sorry. I looked around and couldn’t find Assistant Xiao! I’m really sorry. How about you wait here a little longer, and I go in and look for you once again?”
“How much time is left before the party is over?” Shen Qi asked.
“About ten minutes.”
“That will be too late then. Would you mind accommodating me just once? I have to go in now.”
“Uh…”
“Of course not. Who do you think you are? You’re trying to take advantage of this situation, aren’t you? I’m telling you, as long as I’m here, it’ll be impossible! Don’t even think of going in tonight. You are just a liar who’s trying to sneak in. Ignore her and ask her to leave. If she doesn’t leave, we will call the police right away and get the police to bring her away. Show her what the consequences are for liars.”
Shen Qi bit his lower lip and finally exploded, “Call the police then. The bigger the fuss, the better it is for me. I don’t mind anyway. I have a clear conscience. I mean it when I say I know them.”
For a moment, the crowd was shocked by her aura. One of the girls whispered, “I think what she’s saying is probably true. Besides, it looks like she has a close relationship with Young Master Ye. Shall we just let her in?”
“Shu Ting, you are too soft-hearted. You actually believed her words just because she threatened you a little?”
“I…”
“Young Master Linhan is here!” someone whispered and warned. The few of them looked behind Shen Qi, and all looked shocked. “It really is Young Master Linhan. Why does he look like he is injured severely? What is going on?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi’s face changed, and she turned around immediately.
Ye Linhan looked pale and had his lips pressed together as he walked over. He was thin, and there was a thin layer of cold sweat covered his forehead. He looked extremely frail.
“That’s weird. Why is Young Master Linhan so late? Besides, he looks weak. What happened?”
The few of them were still discussing when they saw Shen Qi who hadn’t been moving turned around and walked toward Ye Linhan. “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to go back to the hospital and treat your wounds? Why are you…” she asked right away.
Shen Qi was really furious and anxious. He promised to go back to the hospital after sending me here, yet I’d been here for so long, and he is still here too!
Seeing Shen Qi rushed toward him anxiously, Ye Linhan’s forced his pale, thin lips to curve upward, and he replied softly, “I recalled that you don’t have an invitation card, so I told the driver to come back. How can I start something without completing it? I promised to take you to him, so let me watch you go in.”
“You…”
The waiters understood right away when they saw this.
What Shen Qi just told them was all true!
She is not a liar! The wounds on her body are all real!
The short girl named Lan was so afraid that her face turned pale. What to do? I seemed to have provoked someone I can’t afford to mess with, but that situation…I really thought that she was faking it.
How can it be true?
Ye Linhan shot her a glance and walked past her to approach the group of greeters.
“We had an accident on the way here, and we can’t find our invitation cards. Can you let her in for my sake?”
