Chapter 216 It turns out to be her
"No... he didn't give me that glass of wine."
Yu Baisu shook her head repeatedly. She quickly walked up to Ji Ziyang and said, "Miss Ji, he must have accomplices. I remember that waiter didn't look like him."
At least not these eyes.
Ji Ziyang frowned and gave Ji Chen a wink. Ji Chen kicked the waiter on the shoulder, "Still not telling the truth!"
The waiter cried out and fell to the ground, clutching his shoulder. "I, Miss, Third Young Master, I've told you everything I need to say. If you're talking about accomplices, I can only say it's the young lady who gave me the medicine. I remember her surname is... Bai, yes, Bai. I heard someone call her Miss Bai."
The moment the words "Miss Bai" were uttered, the audience erupted in uproar.
The surname Bai is not common in the circle. There is only one person attending Grandpa Ji's birthday banquet today, and that is Bai Weiwei, who just made a big fool of herself at Grandpa Ji's birthday banquet.
"It's Bai Weiwei? My God, so she tried to harm Miss Yun, but ended up shooting herself in the foot?"
"No, why would Bai Weiwei want to harm Miss Yun? Did I miss something?"
"It must be because of President Cheng. It's no secret in our circle that Bai Weiwei and President Cheng went on a blind date. Their families even fell out because of it. It's said that Bai Weiwei really likes President Cheng and once declared that she would definitely win him over. She's probably just jealous because she sees how good President Cheng and Miss Yun's relationship is."
"My God, isn't President Cheng a complete heartbreaker? Miss Yu has really been implicated, she's unlucky, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't involve Miss Yun."
The whispers among the crowd were quite loud.
As the central figure in the discussion, Yunzhi naturally attracted a lot of attention. She chuckled and turned to the side, lowering her voice to tease Cheng Shuyan, "President Cheng, what should we do? You've become the culprit in everyone's eyes."
Cheng Shuyan turned his head and saw Yunzhi's eyes crinkling with laughter, like a little fox. His hand, which was hanging to his side, twitched, itching to touch her head, but there were too many people around, so he refrained.
He wasn't annoyed by Yunzhi's teasing, and instead turned to the side and lowered his voice, "Call me Shuyan, Zhizhi."
The title "General Manager Cheng" sounds like it comes from an outsider.
Cheng Shuyan's deep voice was as sexy and alluring as a melodious cello. Yunzhi's ears turned red, she coughed lightly and stood up straight, "I know, a handsome man is a source of trouble."
"I'll only bring trouble to Zhizhi." Cheng Shuyan raised his amorous peach blossom eyes slightly, and gently hooked Yunzhi's little finger with his hand hanging to his side. "I just don't know if Zhizhi will let me bring trouble to her."
Cheng Shuyan's almost explicit words made Yunzhi blush. The surrounding noise seemed to disappear at that moment, and she could only hear the sound of her own heart beating.
Yunzhi clutched her heart with one hand, afraid that it would beat too fast and burst out of her throat.
In his past life, Cheng Shuyan was like a silent gourd when it came to relationships. Did he go somewhere for further training? How come in this life he not only takes the initiative but is also so enthusiastic that she can't handle it?
Cheng Shuyan gently scratched Yunzhi's hand with his little finger.
Yun Zhixin trembled as well.
She turned her head away from Cheng Shuyan, and she didn't dare to respond to him now.
Deep down, she was afraid that what Grandpa Cheng had said might come true someday. Compared to being together, Cheng Shuyan's life was more important.
The crowd around them, engrossed in their passionate discussion, failed to notice that the two people at the center of their conversation were flirting without a care in the world. Only a very few individuals noticed their subtle actions.
Ye Chengyan's eyes darkened, his face turned terribly gloomy, and a bitter feeling spread through his heart, almost overwhelming him.
Meanwhile, someone in the corner, witnessing this scene, slowly turned serious from his previously carefree expression. He straightened up and looked at Cheng Shuyan with murderous intent.
Cheng Shuyan looked in that direction, but still saw nothing.
He frowned; that gaze from just now made him very uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Yunzhi saw Cheng Shuyan staring seriously in one direction, and looked over curiously, but saw nothing, so she asked in confusion.
When Cheng Shuyan saw Yunzhi, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed. "It's nothing, it's just..."
Before he could finish speaking, a male voice, like a lightning bolt piercing the sky, reached the ears of everyone present.
"Bullshit! My daughter is also a victim. I think you took advantage of her absence to deliberately slander her and ruin her reputation. Who instructed you to frame our Bai family? I'll beat you to death today!" A pot-bellied middle-aged man rushed up to the waiter with a furious expression, raising his hand to slap him.
"Uncle Bai, please wait a moment." Ji Chen stopped Bai's father's hand.
Father Bai's face flushed red with anger, his fat twitching as he glared at Ji Chen with his beady eyes. "What, does your Ji family intend to protect this person?"
“Uncle Ji, you’ve misunderstood. We certainly won’t cover for him. As for who gave him the drug, we will definitely find out. This kind of drug is strictly regulated. As long as we investigate thoroughly, we can trace its source. Then we can find out who bribed him based on the clues.” Ji Chen still had the same kind smile.
"Ha, do you think I can wait until that day? Once the truth comes out, what will become of the Bai family and my daughter's reputation? Ji Chen, my daughter's accident happened in your house, you must take responsibility!"
Mr. Bai's eyes were bloodshot, like an ordinary father seeking justice for his daughter. But the smart people around him knew that Mr. Bai was saying this to get the Bai family out of the stigma. If he could, Mr. Bai would not hesitate to give up his daughter Bai Weiwei.
If Bai's father were truly a loving father, he wouldn't introduce Bai Weiwei to someone who could be her father for a small gain.
The Bai family is currently in crisis. If they get caught up in public opinion even slightly, it will be almost impossible for them to extricate themselves from the quagmire.
Mr. Bai was filled with resentment. He should never have brought Bai Weiwei to the banquet with the idea that she could climb into a powerful family and help the Bai family through the crisis. Now, the person he wanted to climb into had not been found. Because of Bai Weiwei's scandal, the person he had originally agreed to marry probably wouldn't want her anymore.
That good-for-nothing! It's best if she didn't buy this medicine, otherwise she'll be a traitor to the Bai family! Even if she dies, it won't make up for the losses she caused them.
"Uncle Bai, please rest assured. Once the truth comes out, we will immediately publish it on the Ji family's official Weibo account and apologize to Miss Bai, who has been wronged, to clear her name. Furthermore, if Miss Bai is not the one who purchased the medicine and bribed the waiter, we are willing to grant her a favor within our power."
