As soon as the woman stepped forward, she directly shielded Shu Qing, seemingly reluctant to let the two of them have any contact with her.
Shu Qing was startled by Lu Jinsheng's impulsive move and quickly took two steps back.
Her back accidentally bumped into the cake cart. Due to insufficient support, the cart slid backward twice, and Shu Qing naturally tilted backward.
At this critical moment, Lu Jinsheng reacted swiftly. He grabbed her hand and pulled her forcefully, barely helping her regain her footing.
The woman who had been rude to him earlier also expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you, sir." She was about to help Shu Qing leave.
But after walking a few steps, Shu Qing turned back, walked up to him, and bowed ninety degrees: "Thank you."
For some reason, after hearing this thank - you, Lu Jinsheng felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He didn't know how to express his current emotions.
Just as he was about to say something, Shen Jianyi directly stopped the man.
"Miss Shu, we'll meet again if fate allows."
As soon as the words were out, he watched as Shu Qing was taken away by that woman. They walked very fast and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
This was a huge blow to Lu Jinsheng. He had finally found his mother, but she didn't recognize him at all.
Not to mention that, as he watched his mother leave, the distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther, not just physically but also emotionally.
He instantly lost interest and found the whole banquet boring.
Just then, the woman suddenly leaned in and whispered, "I think there's something fishy about this."
"What's fishy?" the man asked in confusion.
Watching Shen Jianyi look around, she finally spoke carefully after ensuring that no one was paying attention to them: "We did meet her before, and at that time, she still recognized us."
It had only been a few months, yet she looked at them as if they were strangers. This was absolutely impossible.
So, Shen Jianyi suspected that Shu Qing had been hypnotized.
Just as she was about to analyze further, the man beside her was not in a good state. Looking at the bulging veins on his neck, in that instant, Shen Jianyi seemed to understand something.
His anger disorder must have flared up again. If he had an episode here, he would surely be photographed or used as a handle. She would never allow such a thing to happen.
Shen Jianyi immediately grabbed the man's hand and was about to leave, at least to go to a deserted place.
The two of them moved extremely fast.
Unfortunately, before they could take a few steps, Lu Yuan caught up. She didn't know what was going on and just wanted to find someone she knew.
She didn't know anyone at the whole banquet and could only follow her family. However, her elder brother and sister - in - law didn't really want to talk to her.
"Sister - in - law!" Lu Yuan lifted her skirt and trotted over.
Hearing someone call her, Shen Jianyi turned around and saw Lu Yuan looking like a pure white swan. Even her running posture was extremely elegant.
Shen Jianyi frowned and said coldly, "What do you want?"
The other party immediately replied, "Sister - in - law, where are you going?" Her gaze swept over and she noticed that Lu Jinsheng didn't seem to be in a good state. She was a bit confused: "What's wrong with my brother?"
"Nothing."
Shen Jianyi didn't want to explain more to others and just wanted to shake off Lu Yuan.
But this girl was like a plaster, following her all the time. She had never noticed that she was so clingy before.
The man beside her was getting worse. The fist he was tightly clenching had turned white, and his nails dug into his flesh, leaving crescent - shaped marks.
In this situation, Shen Jianyi didn't have time to explain more. She directly kicked open the door of the men's restroom and stuffed the man in without hesitation. She followed closely behind.
This really stopped Lu Yuan.
The girl pointed at the sign outside and swallowed nervously: "Sister - in - law, this is the men's restroom."
The people inside didn't care about that at all. Fortunately, there was no one else inside when they went in, otherwise, they would be on the hot search the next day.
Shen Jianyi found a relatively large cubicle. She was very agile and dragged the man in with a push.
"Jinsheng, don't be nervous. Control your emotions. Don't let them get the better of you."
He was now like having tinnitus and couldn't hear what the woman was saying at all.
Lu Jinsheng stared at the person in front of him with blood - red eyes. In this situation, she was still willing to accompany him. She didn't choose to abandon him or let him continue having an episode.
The woman was still saying something. Her red lips were opening and closing, but unfortunately, he couldn't hear a single word.
Lu Jinsheng's mind was in a complete mess, and his consciousness was gradually becoming blurred.
Just when he was in pain.
The woman's clear voice echoed in his ear.
"Lu Jinsheng, wake up!"
"You have to believe in yourself. You can control your emotions."
"Hold on. I'll find a way to cure your anger disorder."
These words lingered in his ear, and Lu Jinsheng's emotions gradually calmed down.
Seeing that he was getting better, the woman didn't think twice and directly hugged him tightly.
Lu Jinsheng finally let go of his tightly - clenched fist and gently placed his hand on the woman's back.
His voice was hoarse when he spoke, "Yiyi, I'm sorry to scare you."
For Shen Jianyi, those things didn't matter. As long as he was okay.
But now the two of them were facing a very embarrassing situation. It seemed that someone had come into the restroom, and Shen Jianyi simply couldn't get out.
She looked up at the man with a complaining look, "I should have pushed you into the women's restroom at that time."
This really made Lu Jinsheng laugh, "Don't talk. If we're heard, it'll be troublesome."
In this cramped environment, the two of them just quietly waited.
Perhaps Shen Jianyi never thought that one day she would face such an embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, that person left soon.
After the two of them came out of the restroom, Shen Jianyi immediately saw Lu Yuan standing there blankly.
Lu Yuan opened her mouth, but the words she wanted to say just wouldn't come out. This really left her speechless.
"Sister - in - law, just now..." Lu Yuan pointed at the sign above with a look of disbelief: "Did you go into the wrong restroom?"
This unlucky girl really said whatever was on her mind. She had already reminded her once. Why did she have to remind her again when they came out?
This time, before Shen Jianyi could say anything, Lu Jinsheng coaxed and deceived her, "You must have misseen. She came out of the other restroom. But what about you? Why are you standing here waiting? Are you waiting for someone?"
