Chapter 67

"For the sake of you being so obedient, take the things." Shen Xi looked at the box beside her.

Jiang Lai got up and walked over, her body swaying slightly.

The whole glass of wine was still too much for her.

She shook her head slightly, bent down to dust off the cardboard box, held it in her arms, and turned to leave.

Shen Xi also got up and simultaneously picked up her phone to send a message: 【Done.】

Lin Shutong: 【You didn't make her drink it as soon as she came up, did you?】

Shen Xi: 【Of course not, Sister Shutong, I remembered everything you said. Of course, I didn't make her drink as soon as she came up; I ordered her to do other things first. She didn't suspect anything and has already drunk it.】

Lin Shutong: 【Xiao Xi is really good at doing things.】

Shen Xi: 【Hehe.】

Lin Shutong: 【The person I arranged will come up immediately; follow Jiang Lai closely and act according to the plan.】

Shen Xi followed Jiang Lai's pace, seeing that she had already started to sway when walking, and hadn't even pressed the elevator buttons correctly.

"Drunk already? Your alcohol tolerance is really poor."

Jiang Lai only felt her head was heavy, and she couldn't even stand still, so she could only lean against the wall.

Her body felt slightly soft, and there was a faint heat surging up inside her.

It wasn't that she hadn't been drunk before.

The feeling of being drunk this time had a clear deviation from the last time.

Jiang Lai raised her eyes to look at Shen Xi, her gaze very heavy.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat, thinking, Jiang Lai wouldn't suspect anything, would she?

"What did you add to the wine?"

"Nothing." Shen Xi looked innocent and even rolled her eyes at her, "I drank that wine too; what nonsense are you talking about? Blaming me when your own alcohol tolerance is poor."

"Forget it, for the sake of you still being my sister-in-law, I'll support you." Shen Xi looked as if she was showing mercy and reached out to support Jiang Lai.

She was pushed away by Jiang Lai.

While pushing Shen Xi away, Jiang Lai's own body also staggered. At this time, someone from the executive lounge came over and asked if she needed help?

Jiang Lai said dizzyly: "Need."

"No need, thank you." Shen Xi and she spoke at the same time, "This is my sister-in-law; her alcohol tolerance is poor, and she's drunk. I'll just support her to rest for a while."

Jiang Lai's head became heavier and heavier, and the heat on her body became more and more obvious; her hands could no longer hold the box in her arms.

Thinking of Manager Yuan's business card, she squatted by the wall to stabilize her figure, taking out her phone while taking out the business card.

Shen Xi frowned.

"I already said I'd support you; why are you looking for someone else?" She stepped forward to snatch Jiang Lai's phone and the business card in her hand.

Jiang Lai dodged flexibly, kneeling on the ground with her whole knee, her body half-lying to protect the cardboard box in her arms.

She had to protect the important things while also making a call to find someone to help her.

She pinched her thigh hard, trying to keep herself awake, and started pressing the numbers.

Just as she pressed the last one, the phone was snatched away by Shen Xi.

"Why are you playing with your phone when you're this drunk? Let me support you." Shen Xi put her phone in her bag and tried hard to pull Jiang Lai up from the ground.

Jiang Lai seemed to have grown into the ground; it took a lot of effort to pull her up. She pressed the elevator and supported the person to the door of the planned room.

Along the way, Shen Xi kept talking to her, complaining that she couldn't drink but drank so much, clearly saying it for passersby to hear.

Jiang Lai's consciousness gradually dissipated, but she refused to let go of the cardboard box in her hand.

With a beep, the room door opened.

Shen Xi threw her on the ground casually, closed the door, and reached out to take the cardboard box she was holding.

She easily pried open her fingers.

Shen Xi took out her phone, took a photo of her, sent it to Lin Shutong, and said, "The person seems to have passed out; won't there be any problems?"

Lin Shutong: 【How could she pass out? Did you put too much in?】

Shen Xi: "No, I put in exactly the amount."

She squatted down and touched Jiang Lai's forehead and arms, "Her whole body is very hot."

Lin Shutong: 【As long as you didn't put in too much, get out quickly.】

Shen Xi put down her phone, carried her bag, and went out quickly. When she left, she closed the door and then walked away swaggeringly.

She had kindly sent the person to the room, and the door was closed; if anything happened later, it had nothing to do with her.

In the room.

Jiang Lai heard the sound of the door closing by her ear and slowly opened her eyes. The effect of the medicine in her body caused the corners of her eyes to turn red, her eyes to be filled with mist, and her body to be soft and messy.

She didn't have time to think about what Shen Xi wanted to do, didn't have time to think about how Shen Xi calculated her; now she should first think about how to protect herself.

Jiang Lai opened her mouth and bit the web of her hand; the pain made her slightly more awake.

If she wasn't awake enough, she continued to bite.

Until there was a bloody taste in her mouth, and she had bitten until it bled.

Relying on her brief sobriety, Jiang Lai staggered up and stumbled all the way into the bathroom.

She braced herself to lock the door, turned on the cold water, and poured it on herself just like that.

She kept pouring.

Her body was very cold, but her body was very hot inside.

Ice and fire.

When Shen Xi pressed the elevator, a man happened to brush past her, and the two looked at each other briefly, each going their own way.

After getting off the elevator, Shen Xi curled her lips and smiled.

Yay! Step two of the plan, complete.

At the same time.

A Maybach stopped at the hotel entrance, and Ke Zhongyu got out of the car, followed by Special Assistant Zhou and Secretary Guan, his face showing exhaustion.

In just three days, they had finished a business trip that should have taken a week.

Learning that President Ke had arrived, Manager Yuan came down to greet him personally, just passing by Shen Xi's side.

Seeing this formation, Shen Xi looked up and recognized that it was President Ke of the Ke Clan Group, and her first reaction was to hide out of guilt.

She still remembered the incident where President Ke and the Eldest Miss Ke stood up for Jiang Lai last time, and she was afraid of them from the bottom of her heart.

Shen Xi turned her back to them.

Manager Yuan said with a smile: "President Ke returned so quickly from this business trip."

Ke Zhongyu pulled off his tie, tied it casually on his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose with the other hand, and sneered: "The schedule arranged by Secretary Jiang."

One could see the resentment.

But it was just a vent.

Manager Yuan smiled and said: "Secretary Jiang is also here tonight."

Ke Zhongyu stopped and asked: "Why is she here again?"

Last time she came to the hotel with a slap mark on her face, and her eyes were so red that she looked like she was about to shatter.

Did Shen Xun commit domestic violence again?

He frowned.

Manager Yuan immediately said: "Secretary Jiang is fine this time; she just came to find someone, in Lin Ge."

Ke Zhongyu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he snorted again: "She's quite leisurely."

Manager Yuan smiled calmly.

Ke Zhongyu turned his head and said to Special Assistant Zhou: "Call her and report the company's situation for the past three days."

Special Assistant Zhou: "..."

Didn't you just say in the car that no one should disturb your rest tonight?

Not tired now?

"Okay." Special Assistant Zhou just took out his phone.

Ke Zhongyu said again: "Slow and sluggish, I'll do it myself."

He dialed Jiang Lai's phone.

The ringtone rang in the hotel lobby.
