Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Dragged Away
Bo Tingshen released the back of her neck collar, and Ye Xian immediately coughed several times before her wrist was forcibly seized.
They walked towards the backstage of the Scream Night.
“Hey, CEO, what are you doing?”
Cary was terrified as he watched Ye Xian being dragged away, swallowing his saliva in fear. Could this be that she was going to be taken somewhere secluded to be done away with?
The Scream Night party, purportedly a banquet to entertain the stars, was actually to introduce Xiangfei Video’s new boss—Bo Tingshen. However, before Bo Tingshen even uttered a word, he was seen pulling Ye Xian towards the backstage, leaving everyone in surprise.
“What’s happening? Why is the CEO pulling Ye Xian along?”
“The CEO’s clothes seem to be wet.”
“Could it be Ye Xian’s doing?”
“No wonder the CEO looks so upset, Ye Xian is probably finished…”
“He’s really unfortunate, just got the Rotten Sour Plum and now he’s angered his superior, what luck?”
“CEO, I didn’t mean to wet your clothes on purpose, really…”
The slight wrist of the woman was firmly clamped by the man, and she was forcefully dragged forward, her feet sliding abnormally on the smooth floor.
What’s the CEO trying to do? Could I have really angered him to the point he wants to kill me?
Recalling how Luan Xiaoyao just touched his trouser leg and ended up in such a miserable state, Ye Xian’s legs went weak.
“CEO, could you let me go first? Everyone is watching, this will affect your glorious image among the employees!”
She resisted with all her might, trying to seize the last shred of a chance, but the man didn’t even turn his head back, nor did he show any intention of letting her go.
The disparity in strength between men and women was fully displayed at this moment; no matter how she struggled, it was useless. Her meager strength was like an ant trying to trip an elephant in his presence, not worth mentioning at all.
Most people at the banquet were whispering about this scene, even Jiang Wanze noticed it.Upd@te by novg0 .co
He had just put down his wine glass when he saw Bo Tingshen’s suit front wet while still holding onto Ye Xian, and Ye Xian’s expression unwilling and sad as if she was about to be executed.
In just a few seconds, he had gathered the crux of the matter from the discussions around him.
His elder brother was a germaphobe; Ye Xian had spilled wine on his brother in front of everyone, and his brother would definitely not let this slide easily.
Without even thinking, he put down his wine glass and walked over.
Unexpectedly, an arm caught his elbow.
Cheng Jingshu smiled warmly as she held his arm, her eyes gentle but her grip firm.
“How about a drink together?”
“I have something else.”
Cheng Jingshu looked over at Ye Xian disappearing into the backstage, a quick flash of disgust crossing her eyes, “Are you going to speak for Ye Xian? It seems he offended big brother.”
Jiang Wanze frowned, unsure if it was because she so casually used ‘big brother’ or because she had started to speculate about his thoughts.
When his grandfather had appointed her as his intended fiancée, they had agreed to three rules: keep up appearances in public, and be strangers in private.
But now, she seemed to be overstepping her bounds.
“It has nothing to do with you.”
The man’s voice and demeanor were as cold as ice, chilling Cheng Jingshu’s face white.
Jiang Wanze did not want to speak to her anymore.
However, just as he turned to leave, Cheng Jingshu quickly said, “But if you go soft this time and help Ye Xian, he’ll cling to you just like before.”
At her words, Jiang Wanze indeed stopped in his tracks.
