Chapter 738: Pseudo-Truth 8
Entering the rest room, Xia Yinian didn’t bother to close the door. She glanced at the spacious and comfortable room, walked over, and lay down on the side of the bed.Originally, she thought she could get some decent sleep, but the thought of the similar room next door in the office started making her feel uncomfortable again.
Xia Yinian, can you act normal for once?
After berating herself as dumb as a pig, she took out Grandpa’s handbook and read it while lying on the bed.
Unexpectedly, after a short while, the person on the bed fell soundly asleep.
Xia Yinian didn’t know how long she had slept, but by the time they arrived at the banquet hall, the party had already started.
As soon as she entered the banquet hall, she was able to spot that figure with her first glance.
Maybe it’s the same for everyone. Seventh Young Master, who could possibly ignore him?
The interaction between Yu Wanqing and Uncle today was definitely beyond her expectations.
But now that things have developed this way, is she supposed to burst into tears?
Obviously, that’s not her style.
Having taken her medicine and slept again, Xia Yinian felt much better physically; at least she didn’t need Feng Yan to support her.
"Third Young Master, go about your business; I’ll just sit with some friends," she said, looking at the man beside her.
Feng Yan had become the center of attention as soon as he appeared.
He was late, and she didn’t know if it was to let her sleep a bit longer or if he was simply being lazy.
Anyway, with Seventh Young Master also at the party, it wouldn’t be surprising if Third Young Master wanted to slack off; he didn’t seem to enjoy such socializing.
However, since he was here, there would certainly be lots of people wanting to toast him, so it might be better for her to slip away.
Scanning the surroundings, Xia Yinian quickly spotted Yuan Yaying and even Leng Zhishuo sitting not far from Yayin.
Turning her head to the man who had not spoken, she pointed at Yuan Yaying, saying, "I’ll just sit over there and won’t leave, really won’t leave, just attend to your things."
As soon as Xia Yinian finished speaking, several men with wine glasses approached.
"Alright, don’t leave too hastily," Feng Yan nodded and reminded her.
"Got it," replied Xia Yinian, then she turned to leave.
When Gu Beicheng looked back, his gaze swept over the lively little figure.
His eyebrows knitted slightly as he raised the wine glass in his hand and downed half a glass of red wine in one go.
Gu Beicheng’s every move could not escape Yu Wanqing’s observation. At this moment, her gaze finally rested on Xia Yinian.
Being so close to Beicheng herself, she couldn’t believe that girl could still manage to smile.
Xia Yinian’s acting was getting better and better, forcing a smile that seemed so genuine.
"Beicheng, Nian Nian has come down; I want to go ask her if she got hurt earlier."
Yu Wanqing looked at Gu Beicheng and lightly pressed her lips together, not waiting for the man’s response before taking his arm in hers and walking over gracefully.
Seeing the delicacies in front of Yuan Yaying, Xia Yinian was genuinely pleased.
"What’s inside this little thing?" the girl asked softly.
"It’s delicious, you’ll know once you try it," Yuan Yaying said with a smile.
But she quickly furrowed her brow and reached out to grab Xia Yinian’s hand.
"Nian Nian, how did your hand get scraped?" Yuan Yaying hadn’t noticed until now.
"It was fine when we were at the hospital the day before yesterday. How did you get hurt all of a sudden? Is there another wound?"
How could this girl always manage to get hurt at any time, covered with scars everywhere?
"Where did you scrape yourself just now? Are there any other injuries? Do you need to go to the hospital to have it checked?"
