Chapter 400 Xie Jin's Evasion
The sky was bustling with activity today, with everyone coming and going being second or third-generation rich kids from the city.
It's Hu Yuekai's birthday, and Xie's second son will also be there. Anyone with a bit of influence gets invited in various ways.
Since it's a birthday party, the rules aren't as strict as for a formal dinner party.
The time wasn't up yet, but almost everyone had already gathered.
In the brightly lit private room, Hu Yuekai naturally sat in the main seat, with Xie Jin, who was recovering from a serious illness, sitting next to him.
Xie Jin was injured in an explosion at the last banquet and spent several days in the hospital before recovering. He didn't want to come to this birthday banquet, but Hu Yuekai was puzzled and, seeing his brother's depressed state every day, dragged him over.
"Haha, thank you all for coming to my birthday party. It's on me today!" Hu Yuekai laughed as he stood up and downed his drink in one gulp.
"Thank you, Young Master Hu," the person below responded.
Hu Yuekai curled up back on the sofa. As soon as he sat down, the woman next to him pressed herself against him, glancing provocatively in Tian Xin's direction.
The latter clenched his fists, trying to calm his anger.
It's alright, she didn't come here today for Hu Yuekai.
"Hey, what's wrong with you lately? I've been calling you to come out, but you won't. Did you get scared out of your wits in Maine?" Hu Yuekai nudged the person next to him and couldn't help but ask.
They only learned about the situation in Maine later, and they were also shocked.
Anyone would be terrified to hear of a massacre without cause, but thankfully Xie Jin returned safely.
Shen Jiayan didn't think so; he just chuckled when he heard this.
"What are you laughing at?" Hu Yuekai asked, puzzled.
"I've come up with something interesting."
Xie Jin has been back for so long, it's a secret who he sees and who he doesn't see, but why he's so listless is obvious!
"I'm fine." Xie Jin shook her head and drank alone in silence.
"Boring," Hu Yuekai complained. "It's my birthday, don't you dare look sullen!"
"I'm really fine," Xie Jin forced a smile and assured Hu Yuekai under his repeated confirmation.
The latter could only be half-believing and half-doubting. Shen Jiayan gave him a look and said, "I'll keep an eye on things here. You should do what you need to do."
At Hu Yuekai's birthday party, many people rushed up to offer their best wishes; it's fair to say that everyone in the industry, or anyone looking to build a closer relationship, was there.
Because of Nine Stars Entertainment, the famous playboy and many well-known figures in the entertainment industry were all present, including Kong Jiayin and Ying Xiaohan.
She was accompanied by her agent, and seemed slightly uneasy.
Although Gu Ling caused her trouble every day, believing that she had stolen Liu Linzhou, only she knew that she hadn't seen Liu Linzhou for a long time.
The resources provided by the company are simply in accordance with the initial plan.
She didn't need to come to this kind of event, but she went to the company several times and couldn't see Liu Linzhou, so she had no choice but to ask her agent for an 'invitation'.
It's normal for powerful figures in Shanghai to invite each other to birthday parties, but whether they actually attend is another matter. Liu Linzhou only attended a few similar birthday parties a few years ago, and he hasn't come since he took control of the Liu family.
But Ying Xiaohan was desperate and would try anything. A determined look flashed in her eyes. No matter what it took, she had to see him.
Having followed Liu Linzhou for so long, the other party never fails to show up without a reason; not showing up means being eliminated!
She can't be left behind; she finally managed to get on this good side.
But today, an annoying guy was following behind her. Gu Ling glanced at the other side, who was making friends with someone and smiling brightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her heart.
A brainless woman with only a pretty face dares to steal someone from her.
Once Linzhou declares he's tired of her, she'll be the first to get revenge!
Thinking of the slaps on set, a fierce glint flashed in Ying Xiaohan's eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Jiayan interrupted Xie Jin's thoughts.
Xie Jin glanced at him with drunken eyes: "You know perfectly well why I'm asking."
Lin Xiu returned. He was very worried when he learned of her disappearance. He secretly resented why he hadn't been by her side when the accident happened, and why he had to suppress his emotions to uphold his status.
What's the use of his endless worries if she's not around?
He should have said it sooner; it was only then that he realized he liked her!
He was so happy when she returned safely, he couldn't wait to see her.
But Hai City is also the face of the Xie family, and he must return to his rightful place.
She took Lin Chao to visit Mu Yu on set.
My brother said, "Now that you're back, and since you didn't say anything back then, don't let yourself become a laughingstock, and don't let the Xie family become a laughing stock. The Xie family's century-old reputation can't withstand any of his meddling."
"I didn't go to see her." Xie Jin lowered her head, her voice so low it was almost inaudible.
Shen Jiayan understood and patted his shoulder: "You and I grew up in the same family since we were little, and we have responsibilities on our shoulders. Just like when we were little, it will all pass."
Love is not only a luxury for them; it is also an illusion.
It's not worth sacrificing yourself for those two words.
Distinguishing between what is important and what is not is a lesson we learn from a young age.
"I know," Xie Jin replied through gritted teeth, clutching her head.
He told himself that it would all pass, and things would return to normal once he stopped seeing her for a while.
As soon as Li Tianhao entered, Hu Yuekai looked towards the door, intending to tease the latecomer. However, the person next to Li Tianhao made him abandon his intentions, and he revealed his two small tiger teeth.
"I'm late, sorry." Lin Xiu walked into the house, while Lin Yi was ordered to wait outside the door.
"I'm late too, sorry Young Master Hu." Li Tianhao handed over the gift he had prepared in a fawning manner.
Lin Xiu and he met at the entrance. Li Tianhao had already inquired about Lin Xiu's arrival, so he waited at the entrance instead of coming in. He even prepared a gift to thank Lin Xiu for helping him out of the predicament at the club.
He was terrified the moment he sobered up at the guild hall. Even his father couldn't protect him when facing Liu Ziyu.
Just when he thought he was really going to lose a leg, Lin Xiu saved him, and Liu Ziyu was the one who was expelled.
Lin Xiu stepped forward, smiling as she handed over the gift: "Happy birthday, Hu Yuekai."
The person who was called had no time to pay attention to Li Tianhao. He immediately stood up, took the gift with both hands, and opened it to find a tie. He grinned, revealing his tiger teeth, and said, "Sister Xiu's presence is enough to show your kindness. There's no need to bring a gift."
Xie Jin seemed frozen in place, raising his head and staring motionlessly at the person above.
She... "Why did she come?" she murmured to herself, unable to bear looking away from him for even a moment.
It's as if they'll run away if you leave.
Shen Jiayan shook his head. It would be strange if Lin Xiu didn't come!
Although people of high status are usually not invited in situations like this, Lin Xiu and the others are friends, so it is natural to invite them; as for Liu Linzhou, the group grew up together and attended the same school from childhood to adulthood, so they would still be invited even today.
Xie Jin's voice was very soft, but Lin Xiu was close by and felt a moment of relief upon hearing it.
He turned around, wanting to ask Xie Jin what had happened, but paused when he saw the other person.
That's it.
