Shen Youjin and Jiang Zeshen both looked in Bai Ningxi's direction. The woman was still dressed in an elegant cheongsam with a high - quality jade brooch at the collar, looking graceful and generous.
She was holding a gift box. It seemed to contain a hairpin. Li Beiyin was smiling and chatting with her.
For some reason, Shen Youjin thought Bai Ningxi looked exhausted.
"Am I less charming than a woman now?" Jiang Zeshen raised his eyebrows. "You'd rather look at Miss Bai than talk to me?"
Shen Youjin came back to her senses and smiled at Jiang Zeshen in his purple shirt. "I don't have to worry about being chased by her suitors when I look at her. But it's a different story when I look at you."
Jiang Zeshen was stunned by her smile. Then he remembered the words "A man without self - respect is like a rotten vegetable" and couldn't help feeling a bit helpless.
"I've taken care of those women. And... there weren't many of them in the first place. Don't believe what others say. They're just jealous!"
Shen Youjin forced a smile. "What about the 'strongest peripheral' at the Feast of Extravagance?"
Come to think of it, the woman named Sang Yin really looked the most like...
It was a pity that Sang Yin would rather sink in that kind of place than find a new way out.
"I have no feelings for her. I won't go there anymore. She won't leave that place. You don't need to care." Jiang Zeshen looked at her. "Even if I do go, I'll take my little princess with me. Okay?"
Shen Youjin didn't say a word. Since he had schemed against her, the words "little princess" only sounded ironic to her.
This man always sounded nice, but in fact, he was heartless.
She didn't even dare to think about what would happen if the child was really Jiang Zeshen's and Xia Linlang suddenly returned to the country.
Would she become like the protagonist in a novel, with the white moonlight returning and the substitute running away with the child?
Well, she, Shen Youjin, would never be anyone's substitute.
"That's your business. You can do whatever you want." Shen Youjin said indifferently. "You don't need to report to me."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Just as Jiang Zeshen was about to call her back, a female waiter suddenly slipped. Several glasses of red wine on her tray spilled all over Shen Youjin's dress, soaking it completely.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"
The female waiter apologized while trying to clean up the broken glasses. Her finger was accidentally cut, and blood was flowing.
"Are you blind?" Jiang Zeshen frowned. He put his coat on Shen Youjin and then turned to scold the female waiter. "Can you take responsibility if you hurt someone?"
The female waiter kept apologizing. Shen Youjin glanced at Jiang Zeshen and said, "Forget it. I'll go back and change my clothes."
Jiang Zeshen responded, "Shall I take you back?"
Before Shen Youjin could answer, a man in a butler's uniform walked over and said, "Miss Shen, our young lady brought a few spare evening gowns today. You can change into one first. The banquet is about to start. It's not a good idea to leave now."
Shen Youjin hesitated for a few seconds. It seemed reasonable. She had just seen a few target customers and hadn't had a chance to talk to them.
"Okay then." She agreed. "Thank you."
The butler showed a meaningful smile. "Then please follow me, Miss Shen!"
Shen Youjin nodded and followed the butler.
Jiang Zeshen wanted to follow, but the butler turned around and said to him, "Young Master Jiang, this is the women's dressing room. Men are not allowed."
Jiang Zeshen still had some sense of propriety and didn't follow any further.
The butler led her to the door of the dressing room, gave a few simple instructions, and then left. He even closed the door for her before leaving.
The butler took the elevator downstairs. Then he took out his phone and dialed a number as he walked. He lowered his voice until he reached the corner. "As you said, I've brought the person here... It's not hard. Thank you for letting me earn two salaries!"
In the long corridor, Li Beiyin, who had just finished touching up her makeup, stood there frowning. What was the butler talking about? What two salaries?
She was about to go to the banquet to enjoy everyone's admiration when her steps suddenly stopped!
Li Beiyin's heart tightened suddenly, as if hit by a sledgehammer. Wait!
The veiled words her mother had said a long time ago flashed through her mind like lightning. She suddenly understood the words "Just let your brother see her with someone else."
A chill ran up from her feet to her head. Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
How could this be? How could her mother do such a thing?
Without thinking further, she instinctively rushed towards the lounge. She was extremely anxious and just wanted to stop this conspiracy immediately, or she might lose her brother!
Given her brother's personality, he would definitely break with the family. This was the last thing she wanted to see!
Moreover... Shen Youjin didn't seem that annoying!
As a woman, Shen Youjin didn't deserve this!
At the same time, Shen Youjin didn't think much. After locking the door, she picked up the blue suit dress on the table as the butler had said and put it on.
For some reason, the zipper of this dress was extremely difficult to pull. She tried her best but still couldn't zip it up.
She had no choice but to take it off and pick another dress to change into.
She specifically checked the label and planned to transfer the money to Li Beiyin when she got out.
At this moment, the noise of the banquet was surging outside like a tide. The banquet had already started.
Just then, there was suddenly the sound of a key turning outside the door. She stopped what she was doing, thinking she was having an auditory hallucination.
But the next second, the doorknob was turned, and the door was actually opened!
Under the warm yellow light, a fat old man walked in and closed the door behind him.
His eyes were glazed and full of evil intentions. He walked closer step by step, and the smell of alcohol on his breath made her stomach churn.
"What a sexy beauty. I'm going to enjoy myself today, haha!"
She stepped back again and again until her back hit the wall. There was nowhere to hide, so she immediately screamed.
Just as the old man stretched out his rough hand to grab her, Shen Youjin seized the opportunity, raised her leg, and kicked him hard in the crotch with all her strength.
The old man let out a shrill scream, covered his crotch with both hands, curled up, and collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, rolling around constantly.
Taking this opportunity, Shen Youjin tried to escape. Just as her hand was about to touch the doorknob, the old man suddenly stood up despite the pain and lunged at her.
"Damn it, you little bitch. I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
Shen Youjin dodged to the side, and the old man, who was already unsteady on his feet, missed.
Just then, with a loud "bang", Li Beiyin kicked open the door of the dressing room. Her roar was deafening. "You brute! How dare you touch her on my territory! Get out!"
