Chapter 696: Even scolding you can’t save your rusty brain
After finally waiting for the elevator to stop and watching Zhou Cishen take Ruan Xingwan out, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, even their backs were wet with sweat.
It seems that tonight's anniversary is indeed going to be bloody.
When entering the banquet hall, Ruan Xingwan held Zhou Cishen's arm, lowered his head and smiled lightly.
He is always like this, murderous and heart-wrenching.
I'm afraid those two people just now will have a shadow if they mention the word "Zhou" again in the future.
Because there were so many people coming to attend the anniversary celebration this time, the hotel's largest banquet hall could not accommodate it and was divided into two floors.
On the first floor are employees of the Zhou family and various subsidiaries, and on the first floor are celebrities in business and political circles and other entertainers.
In the banquet hall, almost everyone had arrived, holding wine glasses and greeting each other.
When they saw Ruan Xingwan appearing with Zhou Cishen on his arm, they all stopped their discussion and looked at them with different expressions.
This was the first time Zhou Cishen showed up after a month since he left the Zhou family.
Zhou Cishen turned his head and glanced lightly, and the group of people immediately looked away, pretending that nothing happened.
Ruan Xingwan looked around and saw Qin Yuhui talking to someone in the crowd.
She raised her eyebrows unconsciously, a little surprised.
Zhou Cishen followed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "When was he discharged from the hospital?"
"It's been a few days."
"It's been more than a month, so the injury should be healed.
But...why is there still a scabbing wound on his face?"
Zhou Cishen said: "Probably, he was beaten again."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She looked away, met Zhou Cishen's gaze, tilted her head slightly, and asked silently.
Zhou Cishen said slowly and calmly: "You are right, except your brother, no one has this ability."
"He went to trouble Xu Wan again?"
"Haven't you heard a saying, a man will only be honest if he hangs on the wall."
After a pause, Zhou Cishen added, "Of course, except me."
"Don't get rid of me. You deserve it."
Zhou Cishen: "?"
At this time, Qin Yuhui probably noticed their gazes, and then turned his head. Then the smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly froze, and his expression became a bit colder. It seemed that there was some hatred mixed with it. He quickly withdrew his gaze and talked to the opposite person as if nothing had happened.
The people continue to talk.
Ruan Xingwan asked: "When does the charity dinner start?"
"Nine o'clock."
"That will have to wait."
When they were about to find a place to sit for a while, Jiang Yunzhu came over with a wine glass: "Mr. Zhou, Miss Ruan."
Zhou Cishen didn't respond, but now was not the time to break up, so Ruan Xingwan nodded politely in response.
Jiang Yunzhu was not surprised by Zhou Cishen's attitude. He just said to Ruan Xingwan: "There is something that I have to say sorry to Miss Ruan."
Ruan Xingwan said in a calm tone: "Mr. Jiang, you are too polite."
Jiang Yunzhu continued: "The ring I bought from Mr. Qin before was originally intended to be given to Miss Ruan, but Miss Ruan rejected it.
Just a while ago, I got news that there was a charity dinner on Zhou's anniversary. I had no use keeping this ring, so I thought I might as well let it go to help those in need.
It is worthy of the original intention of the original owner of this ring."
Ruan Xingwan said perfunctorily: "Mr. Jiang's approach is really admirable."
"No, no, I'm just following the example of my predecessors."
After a few false polite words with him, Ruan Xingwan was about to leave when he heard a commotion at the door.
Ruan Xingwan looked over subconsciously and vaguely saw a familiar figure.
The low-pitched discussion in front also gradually came.
"Who is this? He looks so handsome!"
"It's absolutely amazing! I thought Mr. Zhou was already the most handsome and energetic man I've ever seen, but he definitely doesn't lose!"
"Hey, tell me, who is better between him and Mr. Zhou?"
"I couldn't tell the difference for a moment..."
"Don't you think he looks a bit like Mr. Zhou?"
"Yes, yes, I also discovered it. Could it be Nuwa's Showcase of Skills 2.0?"
"Sure enough, good-looking people are all similar."
Ruan Xingwan heard it and realized it was Jiang Shanghan.
Amidst the discussion among a group of people, Jiang Shanghan's figure slowly walked towards them.
However, something next to him quickly rushed towards Ruan Xingwan.
Ruan Xingwan was unprepared. Because he was wearing high heels, he was thrown and fell backward.
Zhou Cishen raised his hands and put his arms around her waist.
Jiang Chuning hugged her, extremely happy and excited: "Sister, I miss you so much!"
Ruan Xingwan smiled and patted her back: "As long as you're okay."
Jiang Chuning was full of grievances and pains, which he had been holding back for the past few days. When he was preparing to speak, a cold voice came from beside him: "Let go."
Jiang Chuning reluctantly let go of Ruan Xingwan, took a step back, and said with a raised eyebrow: "I just miss my sister..."
Just as Ruan Xingwan was about to speak, Jiang Yunzhu said from the side: "Ning Ning, you almost knocked down Miss Ruan."
Hearing his voice, Jiang Chuning quickly turned his head, his expression even more joyful: "Second uncle, why are you here! No... no, are you okay?
Did they give you any trouble?"
Jiang Yunzhu smiled and shook his head: "No, it's all my fault that my second uncle was useless and couldn't prevent you from being taken away by them."
"Second uncle, don't say that. I was too willful. If not... By the way, what happened to Sister Shanshan? Did you send her to the hospital..."
Before Jiang Chuning finished speaking, someone lifted his arm and stood aside.
She raised her head in dissatisfaction and weakly cooperated with the movement.
Jiang Shanghan stood still and looked at Jiang Yunzhu, his eyesight not wavering at all.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled: "Long time no see."
"It's been a long time."
Jiang Yunzhu said again: "Ning Ning is still young, and it is inevitable that she will do something wrong. Don't argue with her."
Jiang Shanghan glanced sideways at the person who was gradually approaching Ruan Xingwan silently, and said calmly: "You don't seem to be surprised, she is with me."
Jiang Yun Zhudao: "In the past few days, I have been sending people to look for Ning Ning. I heard that she was rescued, so I guessed that it might be you."
"Yeah."
Jiang Yunzhu smiled in response.
Jiang Shanghan said: "Since your guess is so accurate, you might as well guess what will happen next."
Jiang Yun Zhudao: "Tonight is the Zhou family's anniversary. Next, of course, there will be a celebration and a charity dinner."
Neither of them spoke anymore, but it was easy to see that the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point and was getting more and more tense.
Jiang Chuning resisted the pressure, reached out and pulled Jiang Shanghan's sleeve, and whispered: "What are you doing? If you want to scold me, scold me. Don't target my second uncle!"
Jiang Shanghan looked at her and said in a rare calm tone: "Swearing at you won't save your rusty brain."
