At the Ludao Hotel lobby, several people saw Song Xun and Shen Shuyi off as they departed.
Song Xun personally opened the car door for Shen Shuyi, a gesture of utmost gentlemanliness.
Witnessing this scene once more, Qiao Rui felt deeply relieved that Muyu hadn't seen it.
He Lan, however, was genuinely happy for her good friend Shen Shuyi.
Qiao Rui's gaze was indifferent, her expression aloof; as soon as they got into the car, she turned and walked away.
Pei Liyan caught hold of her in haste.
Qiao Rui met his eyes, "Is there something you need?"
Before Pei Liyan could speak, Fang Mo and Lu Heming returned.
"President Pei, we need to discuss something."
Pei Liyan had no choice but to let go of Qiao Rui and follow Lu Heming and Fang Mo to Lu Heming's office for a talk.
As he was leaving, Pei Liyan instructed Si Ran, "Si Ran, take good care of the lady!"
"Yes, Mr. President, rest assured."
He Zheng reminded He Lan, "Don't go out and stir up trouble."
