Pei Jiayin felt that she was drunk.

She was afraid of losing her composure in public, so she held on to the edge of the table to keep herself steady.

He glanced at the many guests but didn't see anyone he was familiar with or trusted.

Most of them were work connections, or people who wanted to curry favor with her and get close to her father.

If you owe favors to such a person, you will only get into trouble in the future.

Seeing that Pei Jiayin looked unhappy, Ye Wanqing walked over and asked her if she was drunk.

Pei Jiayin hurriedly pinched herself quietly, using the pain to force herself to wake up, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

"No!"

Pei Jiayin and Ye Wanqing were high school classmates. They had a good relationship and often played together.

Ye Wanqing's family was well-off. She always treated Pei Jiayin to snacks and even drove her home from school in her own car.

Pei Jiayin once truly regarded Ye Wanqing as her best friend.

But Pei Jianguo warned Pei Jiayin again and again that she must keep her distance from Ye Wanqing.

Pei Jianguo was in charge of secretly investigating Ye Wanqing's father at that time and was collecting evidence of Ye Wanqing's father's corruption and bribery.

He was a corrupt official with extensive influence in the imperial capital.

Pei Jiayin didn't know why her father asked her to keep her distance.

But my father must have his reasons for saying this.

Later, Ye Wanqing's father was arrested, and Pei Jiayin had a quarrel with her father, who was the father of her good friend.

She was severely lectured by her father.

As an official who is the parent of the people, he does not work for the welfare of the people, but only cares about his own selfish desires to fill his own pockets. Such an official is not worthy of being an official.

Pei Jiayin also knew that it was Ye Wanqing's father who made a mistake, and Pei Jianguo did nothing wrong, but she just felt sorry for Ye Wanqing.

Later, whenever he saw Ye Wanqing again, he would stay away from her and they stopped communicating.

Although many years had passed, Pei Jiayin still couldn't raise her head in front of Ye Wanqing and felt insecure.

She didn't know what she was feeling guilty about.

Perhaps it was because Ye Wanqing was so good to her in the beginning, but her father caused Ye Wanqing's family to be broken up and her life to fall from the clouds into the quagmire.

When she heard abroad that Ye Wanqing divorced Qiao Chenxi because of domestic violence, she felt even more guilty towards Ye Wanqing.

If Ye Wanqing was the mayor's daughter or the daughter of a high-ranking official, how could she be abused by her husband and neglected by her in-laws?

Pei Jiayin felt that Ye Wanqing's life was ruined by her family.

Seeing that Pei Jiayin was fine, just with red cheeks, Ye Wanqing didn't say anything else. She nodded slightly to her, turned around and was about to leave.

Pei Jiayin mustered up the courage to call Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing stopped, but Pei Jiayin didn't know what to say for a moment. She hesitated for a few seconds before speaking in a low voice.

"Are you okay now?"

Apart from the question "Are you okay?", Pei Jiayin really didn't know what to ask.

Ye Wanqing turned her head and smiled faintly, her face calm and clean, like an inconspicuous white flower blooming silently in the mountains.

"pretty good!"

She has lost all her glory and honor, and has become an ordinary person struggling to make a living among the masses.

Such a life is ordinary and simple, but peaceful and safe.

Pei Jiayin felt mixed emotions for a moment, and it seemed like something was blocking her throat, making it impossible for her to make a sound.

Seeing her like this, Ye Wanqing's smile deepened a little, "Jia Yin, I'm really fine! I've never blamed you!"

After Ye Wanqing finished speaking, she turned and left.

Although Pei Jiayin received Ye Wanqing's answer of forgiveness, her heart was still tightly knitted together and she couldn't let it go.

How popular Ye Wanqing was back then!

There are always a lot of people around her, talking to her and trying to please her.

But now, the place was full of guests, but no one took the initiative to greet Ye Wanqing, and when they passed by others, they didn't even look at her.

Although Ye Wanqing is quiet, she is also proud. How much effort and struggle did she put in to adapt to her current life?

How to free yourself from the shadow of a divorced woman and reappear in front of everyone?

Pei Jiayin felt sorry for Ye Wanqing, and her eyes followed Ye Wanqing's slender back as she gradually disappeared at the door of the banquet hall.

Pei Jiayin retracted her gaze and realized that her body was becoming more and more uncomfortable and her throat was extremely dry.

She didn't know what was wrong with her.

But we certainly can’t continue in the banquet hall.

She was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and would collapse.

Finally, Pei Jiayin found someone who was relatively reliable.

Meng Zhidong!

She believes in Meng Zhidong's character and the two companies have no cooperation at present.

Since Meng Zhidong's divorce, he has never approached Pei Jiayin to ask for cooperation again.

Meng Zhidong always felt very sorry.

Li Xiang was so embarrassed at first that he didn't have the face to look for Pei Jiayin again.

When I saw you at the banquet today, you just nodded as a greeting.

Pei Jiayin forced herself to walk towards Meng Zhidong.

"Can you help me?"

Meng Zhidong saw that Pei Jiayin’s face turned red and her eyes became cloudy and blurred.

Knowing that she was drunk, he quickly raised his hand to hold Pei Jiayin's arm.

"How can I help you?" Meng Zhidong asked.

"I didn't book a room and didn't plan to stay overnight. Please help me book a room!" Pei Jiayin's breathing became unstable.

Seeing that she could no longer stand, Meng Zhidong supported her with both hands and led her out of the banquet hall.

Everyone saw that Pei Jiayin's body was mostly leaning on Meng Zhidong's arms, and they all looked at her inquiringly and gossipingly.

Everyone gathered in groups of three or five, talking and laughing ambiguously.

"Miss Pei is not dating Mr. Meng, right?"

"Before Mr. Meng got divorced, I heard that Mr. Meng and Miss Pei were caught cheating by his wife, and they got divorced because of this."

"I can't believe Pei Jiayin and Meng Zhidong are such people!"

Enning saw that everyone was whispering. Although he didn't hear clearly, he knew that no one was saying anything good.

En Ning lowered her voice and said something in Chu Lichuan's ear.

Chu Lichuan nodded slightly, cleared his throat, went up to the podium and thanked all the guests for coming.

Chu Lichuan went on stage to speak, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking, Enning called Su Ya and asked her to go and see if Pei Jiayin was feeling unwell.

Now that Su Ya is Chu He's wife and the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, she should no longer continue to be Chu Lichuan's personal assistant.

But Su Ya once swore to be loyal to Chu Lichuan for life to repay him for saving her life.

She was also very grateful to Chu Lichuan for not losing trust in her and asking her to resign just because she married Chu He.

She had always been reluctant to get married to Chu He, mostly because she was afraid of losing Chu Lichuan's trust in her.

Chu He knew that Su Ya was very sentimental and would repay a favor.

He wanted Su Ya to resign and stop doing such a dangerous job that always involved fighting, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear that Su Ya would weigh the pros and cons and finally choose Chu Lichuan and give up on him.

He could only worry silently in his heart and look for an opportunity to make Su Ya give up this job on her own.

Enning asked Su Ya to go see Pei Jiayin, also wanting to get Su Ya away.

Su Ya didn't care about the strange looks from the guests, and she said a few words in private that the second daughter-in-law of the Chu family was actually doing on-site security, but Chu Lianjiang cared.

Throughout the entire banquet, Chu Lianjiang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he looked like he was about to lose his temper at any moment.

Chu Lianjiang was no longer so opposed to Chu He and Su Ya. They had been married for so long, and not only was his opposition ineffective, it also caused Miao Yajie and his two sons to become estranged from him.

Now he only hopes that Su Ya will quietly resign and go home to be Chu He's wife. Even if she plays cards, does beauty treatments and goes to bars like other rich ladies every day and does not work properly, it is still more respectable than being a bodyguard.

Su Ya went upstairs but didn't find Pei Jiayin.
