C280 (1/2)

Tonight's banquet was the birthday banquet of a long retired movie star in the entertainment circle. Gu Ruoyun had once been fortunate enough to be cared for by him, it was impossible for her not to appear today.

Taking the gifts that the assistant had long prepared, Gu Ruoyun walked into the banquet hall in a low-key manner. Due to the fact that she had seen those photos before, Gu Ruoyun's originally good mood was now overcast.

”Ruo Fei, come, let's get to know each other. This is Director Ye of Ding Xin Media!”

After handing the present to the protagonist of the day, Gu Ruoyun was about to silently sit at the side to digest the news she had seen today, but she was forcibly pulled away.

After all, it was a good intention to introduce her resources. Gu Ruoyun forcefully suppressed the annoyance in her heart and forced out a bright smile. She gracefully extended her hand to shake hands with the man called Director Ye.

Ignoring the action of Director Ye deliberately touching her hands when they were holding each other, the smile on Gu Ruoyun's face didn't change in the slightest as she greeted them without a single drop of water missing.

As the star of today's movie, she was naturally the center of attention wherever she went. Gu Ruoyun didn't want to be the center of attention, so after a while, she quietly retreated to a corner of the banquet hall.

On each table were champagne and red wine, and waitresses carrying trays through the crowd for guests to pick up at any time.

Gu Ruoyun finished the wine in her hand in one gulp. The cold wine slid down her throat, bringing a trace of comfort to her agitated mood.

After casually placing the empty wine cup to the side, Gu Ruoyun picked up a fresh glass of red wine. The dark red wine rippled within the transparent goblet, making Gu Ruoyun's fingers look like fine jade.

Gu Rui raised his head and downed another cup of wine. The top-grade red wine was drunk by Gu Ruoyun like beer on a roadside stall. At this moment, she was upset and fidgety, every bit of what he had done with Yu Rui before gradually faded away. The only clear sight before his was Yu Rui and An Ning holding hands intimately.

The corner of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile. He had always said that getting drunk would relieve a thousand worries. He wondered if he would stop thinking about Yu Rui after getting drunk. It no longer bothered him whether he liked his or not.

Gradually, the banquet reached its climax. Gu Ruoyun's drunken eyes were half hidden on the table as she watched the crowd cheer and dance in the middle of the banquet hall. Everything before her turned hazy as something slightly cold slipped out of her eyes and dripped onto Gu Ruoyun's hands.

It wasn't until the end of the banquet that the manager noticed that something wasn't right. He searched the huge banquet hall for a long time before finally finding Gu Ruoyun, who had fallen asleep on the table.

Helplessly sighing, the manager didn't understand what Gu Ruoyun had been through, but he felt very sorry for her. As a girl, she had always lived a desperate life.

After helping her up, Gu Ruoyun secretly slipped out the side door of the banquet hall. Just as she reached the elevator, she suddenly made a sound of gagging. The manager was startled, and hurriedly led her to the toilet.

”I'm fine.”

Gu Ruoyun shook her head, her breath drifting as she spoke. After vomiting, she seemed to have sobered up a lot, but if one looked closely at her eyes, they would see that she was still drunk.

The manager helped Gu Ruoyun into the minivan, took a few deep breaths, and said to the driver.

”To Xinyu District!”

Before the driver could respond, Gu Ruoyun, who had collapsed on the back seat, struggled to sit up. Although her eyes were misty, they were filled with determination.

”I'm not going anywhere! I'm going to Wu Shan!”

Wu Shan was a well-known villa in Lin City. People living there were either rich or noble. Although Yu Rui's house was still there, he didn't dare to face the memories there and bought a new house in Wu Shan.

The driver looked at the manager hesitantly, not knowing who he should listen to.
