The window was not closed tightly, and the strong wind outside continued, creating waves of coldness in the bedroom.

Jin Mingzhu woke up and saw that she was receiving an IV. She tried to move her hand, but it pulled the needle, causing her to hiss.

"Madam, are you awake?" The maid asked with concern when she saw her wake up.

"Xiaomei, were you the one who saved me last night?" Jin Mingzhu's voice was a little weak.

"Young Madam..." Xiaomei was about to speak, but suddenly remembered Gu Huaijin's instructions and changed her words:

"I heard you were in pain last night, so I came to see you, but you fainted before you could say a few words."

"Young Madam, do you know? If it's any later, you will be in so much pain. You must take good care of yourself in the future."

"Thank you, Xiaomei." Jin Mingzhu said with some gratitude. If it weren't for the maid who saved her, based on what happened last night, who knows how terrible the consequences would have been.

"It's okay, Madam. I'll bring the porridge. You can have some. You should have a good rest at home today." Xiaomei got up to serve the porridge.

Seeing that the infusion was almost finished, Jin Mingzhu lay down on the bed with peace of mind. Tonight, the magazine was invited to attend a business dinner, and many business tycoons would be present. This was a rare opportunity to expand interview channels. Lu Liang gave her such a precious opportunity, and she couldn't take another leave.

She drank the porridge and felt a little stronger. She prepared an evening dress and accessories, and then Jin Mingzhu drove to work.

"Master, the mistress drank the porridge and went to work, and we couldn't stop her." Aunt Wang called Gu Huaijin with a helpless look on her face.

"Didn't I tell her to have a good rest at home?" Gu Huaijin had just finished a meeting and was holding up his head. He had stayed with Jin Mingzhu the whole night without closing his eyes.

"Master, you know the young mistress's temper. I can't stop her!"

"Forget it, prepare some liquid food for her for dinner, and make sure she drinks it." Gu Huaijin instructed.

"Master, are you okay?" Lu Huaiyang asked with concern when he saw that Jin Mingzhu looked a little pale.

"Sister Mingzhu, you look a little ugly." Liu Jia also turned around and said to her.

Jin Mingzhu picked up the makeup mirror and took a look. Her face looked a little haggard:

"It's okay, I just have a stomachache."

Seeing this, Lu Huaiyang took a cup of hot water for her.

"Master, don't drink cold drinks, drink hot water and take the medicine later."

Jin Mingzhu was somewhat touched and forced a smile at them:

"I'm fine. Everyone, hurry up and finish the manuscripts you have on hand and hand them in."

Winter has arrived in Beijing. A gust of cold wind made Jin Mingzhu shiver. She wrapped her coat tightly around herself.

The banquet officially started at 8:30, and Jin Mingzhu and Lu Liang agreed to meet at the door at 8 o'clock. More than ten minutes had passed since the agreed time, and Lu Liang had not yet appeared.

At this time, a Maybach sped past her and stopped steadily at the exit. Jin Mingzhu was just wondering which young man was so ostentatious when she saw Chen Chuan get out of the passenger seat and drive the car for the person in the back seat.

"No wonder, it's Gu Huaijin's car, it fits his personality."

It was expected that Gu Huaijin was invited to such a high-level business banquet.

Jin Mingzhu was just about to turn around and avoid her nominal husband when she suddenly saw a pair of high-heeled shoes extended from the back seat. Then, a tall girl in a laurel-colored dress came down and waited beside her. It was Lin Shu.

Gu Huaijin got out of the car from the other side, his face still looking cold.

"Brother Jin," Lin Shu walked up to Gu Huaijin and took his arm affectionately, and the two walked towards the venue.

Jin Mingzhu was turning around to avoid them when Lu Liang's voice suddenly came from the front:

"Mingzhu, I'm sorry, I'm late. The traffic was really congested."

Jin Mingzhu really wanted to cover Lu Liang's mouth. What kind of Shura scene was this: She, the nominal Mrs. Gu, saw her husband bringing other women to the party?

Jin Mingzhu hurriedly pulled Lu Liang to the large device next to them, blocking the view of the three people.

"She's here?" Gu Huaijin looked at Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan also heard the voice and looked back a few times but didn't see anyone.

"Madam should rest at home now."

Lin Shu was a little unhappy. She was surprised and happy to receive Gu Huaijin's invitation today. She spent a lot of time dressing herself up, preparing to win Gu Huaijin over in one fell swoop tonight.

In the end, he still cared about that little bitch from Hong Kong. Lin Shu was a little angry and complained:

"Brother Jin, you said you would accompany me well tonight."

Gu Huaijin had originally invited Lin Shu as his female companion because Jin Mingzhu refused to attend the banquet with him. Seeing that she was unhappy, he retracted his gaze:

"Okay, have fun with Xiao Shu tonight."

Seeing Jin Mingzhu looking as if she was facing a formidable enemy, Lu Liang asked in confusion:

"Mingzhu, what are we hiding from?"

Jin Mingzhu interrupted, "Editor-in-Chief Lu was yelling just now, and everyone was looking at us. I was worried about losing face for the magazine."

"Let's go, Editor-in-Chief."

Tonight's dinner is a business achievement exchange exhibition hosted by the Lin Group. The booths on both sides are filled with carefully prepared food and champagne. The band is playing soothing music. Business elites and celebrities from all walks of life are toasting and communicating with each other.

Jin Mingzhu greeted several familiar faces, took a piece of cake, found an empty corner and sat down to slowly enjoy it.

On the podium, Lin Shaoyu was introducing some scientific research achievements and finished products of Lin's enterprise since this quarter. Gu Huaijin was also sitting on the stage. Lin Shu was very close to him, looking like a little bird, with a face full of affection.

"Xiao Shu, don't get so close to me, it will make people misunderstand." Gu Huaijin looked at Lin Shu who was getting closer and closer to him, and moved away.

Lin Shu quickly leaned over and said delicately:

"Brother Jin, the air conditioner here is turned up too high. I have a headache."

Seeing this, Gu Huaijin couldn't say anything and just let her do what she wanted. Lin Shu was even more proud, wishing she could stick her whole body to Gu Huaijin.

Jin Mingzhu just smiled. She wished that Lin Shu would work harder and snatch Gu Huaijin away directly, so that she could escape from this cage-like marriage.

"Miss, may I invite you to dance with me?" A middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who was a little overweight, extended his hand to her.

"I don't want to dance, thank you." Jin Mingzhu felt a little disgusted when she saw his nails turned yellow by smoke, but she still politely refused.

Most people would just walk away tactfully after being rejected, but this middle-aged man kept pestering her.

"Miss, as long as you dance with me, you can have anything you want." The man said frivolously, scanning her up and down with his obscene eyes.

Jin Mingzhu didn't like being stared at like that, so she put down her cup, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Hey, miss, let's talk some more."

"If you are not satisfied with the price, we can still negotiate."

When the man saw her preparing to leave, he stepped forward and blocked her way with his hand.

Does this man think she is a prostitute? Anyone who is insulted like this would be angry. Jin Mingzhu was afraid of attracting attention, so she suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice:

"Step aside!"

The tactless man put his hands on her body, touched her buttocks, and shouted:

"Just a dance, young lady."

Jin Mingzhu couldn't bear it any longer, so she took two steps back, picked up the wine glass on the table and splashed it on his face.

"I'll wake you up!"

The man was splashed with cold wine in the face and trembled all over; he saw that the woman was beautiful and had no male companion, so he had an idea. He didn't expect that this girl was so fierce that she splashed wine in his face in front of everyone.

As he saw more and more people gathered around him, he felt a little embarrassed.

"You bitch!" He raised his hand and shouted at Jin Mingzhu angrily.
