Chapter 6 - 4: The Show Begins
At this moment, it was as if a knife was at her throat; Shen Jianian had no retreat, her trembling hands betraying her fear, causing the crimson wine in her glass to sway.
She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and sipped the entire glass of wine, one mouthful at a time. She accidentally choked on the last swallow, covered her lips with the back of her hand to cough, and when she removed her hand, her lips had been tinged with a berry-hued red, like velvet.
Even if she got drunk, there was no need to worry; her uncle would take her home.
Shen Jianian thought, her anxious heart gradually settling down.
Yin Shuyao’s eyes carried a hint of a sneer; plotting against this foolish Shen Jianian did not require sinister or vicious tricks. With a glass of wine down, she would quickly be unconscious.
Blame her deceased parents for protecting her too well, turning her into a princess ignorant of the world for twenty years. Not to mention drinking, every morsel she consumed was delicacy.
Tonight, she’s in for a real experience.
By ten in the evening, the banquet ended, the sky was completely dark, and the rain was heavier than before, crackling with thunder and lightning, seemingly swallowing the world whole.
Yin Shuyao supported the drunken, slumped Shen Jianian as they staggered toward Qin Zhongtian’s black Mercedes-Benz.
The rear window slid down halfway, revealing a man’s face filled with lust.
Though Yin Shuyao felt nauseous just looking at such a gluttonous man, she showed no hint of it. She blinked her innocent eyes and used the excuse she had prepared: "President Qin, I need to go to the hospital with my parents to take care of my grandma. Could you please take my cousin home for me?"
The driver found nothing unusual about this request and calmly got out of the car, opening the rear door on one side.
