Shen Youjin was stunned. She never expected that after shouting for so long, the person who came in would be Li Beiyin.
Li Beiyin rushed in and kicked the old man hard in the back with her slender high - heeled shoes.
The old man hadn't recovered from the kick Shen Youjin gave him earlier. Now, with this sharp - heeled kick, he immediately rolled his eyes and knelt on the ground, too weak to even resist.
"Are you okay?" Li Beiyin walked over quickly. Looking at Shen Youjin and making sure her clothes were neatly on, she let out a sigh of relief. "I'll send someone to take you back first. I'm sorry."
She called someone to drag away the old man who had fainted from the pain.
Then she pulled Shen Youjin by the wrist and was about to leave. Shen Youjin didn't object. They walked all the way to the banquet hall before she stopped.
Li Beiyin was stunned. "What's wrong?"
"I think the Li family should give me an explanation for this," Shen Youjin said calmly. There was a cold light in her eyes as she looked at Li Beiyin. "You should know that man just now. He was a guest on the list invited by your Li family. But why did he have the key to the dressing room?"
Li Beiyin tightened her fingers. Thinking of what the butler said, even a fool could guess what was going on.
However, after all, that was her own mother. How could she say it out?
"This was just an accident. Could you, considering that I came in time, just..."
"Absolutely not!" Shen Youjin interrupted her directly. Her eyes turned completely cold. "He didn't succeed, but the harm he caused is no less serious. One thing is one thing, Miss Li. Don't try to downplay the issue."
Even though she was tough - minded, the sight of that old man was enough to make her feel nauseous for a week.
If it were another woman, she might be haunted by this for the rest of her life.
Li Beiyin fell into deep thought. Just as she was trying to figure out a solution, a deep, magnetic voice rang in her ear.
"Beiyin, go and get busy. It'll be your turn to speak in ten minutes," Li Nanchuan said as he raised his wrist to check the time. "Leave this to me."
Shen Youjin looked at Li Nanchuan. He was wearing a black suit, which was in line with his usual style. He was as calm and silent as the night.
Thinking of the kiss at the door that night, her cheeks flushed slightly. Even the shock from before was somehow half - relieved by his appearance.
"I already know about this," Li Nanchuan said, looking at Shen Youjin with concern. "I've stopped the man and sent him to the police station. I will definitely give you an explanation for this."
Hearing this, Shen Youjin paused for a moment. "Actually, you also know who did this, right? Can you really give me an explanation?"
She never dared to think that she was that important, especially in front of family blood ties. She had no confidence.
"My mother does have some opinions about you, but she wouldn't go this far," Li Nanchuan said, reaching out his hand gently to stroke her head. "Trust me, okay?"
This time, he had been negligent. He had only been on guard against the Shen family and never expected that trouble would start from his own family.
Looking into Li Nanchuan's deep eyes, Shen Youjin was silent for a long time. Finally, she nodded slightly.
"Okay! I want an answer after the banquet."
With her action, Li Nanchuan finally showed a smile.
Sure enough, his Xiaojin was always so nice.
Not far away, Fu Qingye almost crushed the screen of his phone in his hand.
Shen Youjin, how dare you?
Clearly, he was the one who could give her everything, but she resisted even his slightest touch.
What did she take him for? A dog that could be called and dismissed at will?
"Master Fu, would you like to go and sit over there?" The banquet manager carefully observed Fu Qingye's expression, afraid that this powerful man would blow up the place if he got angry. "Miss Li is going to take the stage to speak and then cut the cake."
Fu Qingye turned his head. His icy gaze almost froze the manager. The manager immediately shivered and instantly regretted his unnecessary words.
If it got blown up, so be it. He could just find another job. Why did he have to offend this young master of the capital circle? He might even lose his life if he was not careful!
Fortunately, after just five seconds, Fu Qingye turned around and ignored him. He walked towards the most crowded area.
Shen Youjin, if you want to be with Li Nanchuan, I will never allow it!
Watching Li Beiyin go through the rehearsed process on the stage, a huge five - layer cake appeared on the stage, and the music became lively.
Li's parents stood beside Li Beiyin. No matter how Li Beiyin was, their eyes looking at her were always gentle.
Shen Youjin stood in the crowd and watched silently. Once upon a time, her mother had also looked at her like this. Li Beiyin was really lucky.
"Sister, I finally found you," Bai Beichen's clear voice rang in her ear. "Why do you look so pale?"
Before he came, he got the news that Shen Youjin was seen at the banquet. So he immediately changed into a set of clothes that she used to like the most and came.
This kind of occasion was like a battlefield. Of course, he wanted Shen Youjin to focus on him as much as possible.
"I'm fine," Shen Youjin said, looking at him without telling the truth. "Aren't you with your friends?"
Bai Beichen smiled and looked at a place not far from her side. "What's the fun of being with them? It's more interesting to be with sister!"
Shen Youjin looked in the direction he pointed. She saw the young masters she had met before were gathered together, laughing.
Even when they felt her gaze, they just raised their glasses and showed a kind smile, as if the words saying she was unworthy didn't come from their mouths.
"I'm a bit tired. I'll go back first. You guys have fun."
The cake had been cut. She had given Li Beiyin enough face.
Shen Youjin turned around to leave. The disappointment in Bai Beichen's eyes flashed by. He quickly grabbed her wrist.
"Sister, wait a minute."
Shen Youjin turned her head and looked at him in confusion. "What's the matter?"
Bai Beichen pursed his lips. "I brought my guitar. Listen to my song before you go!"
"Your gift for Miss Li of the Li family. Do you still need an outsider like me to be present?" Shen Youjin pulled back her wrist. "You guys play!"
She was in no mood to socialize. Staying any longer, this warm scene would only pierce her soul.
"It's for you," Bai Beichen said, looking at her with his misty peach - blossom eyes. The smile on his lips just covered the cunning in his eyes. "Just one song. Listen to it before you go, okay, sister?"
Shen Youjin was slightly stunned. "Singing for me at someone else's birthday banquet. Bai Beichen, this is not appropriate, is it?"
Bai Beichen blinked his eyes and pleaded pitifully. "Then sister, give me a chance. Let's leave early. Give me a chance to show myself, okay?"
Shen Youjin immediately realized that this was what he was waiting for.
"Then sing here," she said, patting his shoulder. "There are many reporters here. It's a good stage for you to show yourself!"
