Mu Yuchen, Su Chen, and Zhou Zimo were not the kind of people who liked crowds. During birthdays, they would just gather around and drink together.

They were having fun when Mu Yuchen brought Xi Xiaye into the room.

Not many people were inside; there were only seven of them including Su Chen.

"We've been waiting for ages. Didn't I ask you to come earlier?" Su Chen went up to them as they came in.

Mu Yuchen halted his steps and glanced at Xi Xiaye behind him. She quickly presented the gift in her hand as she responded apologetically, "We were late because we rushed to buy some stuff. Happy birthday!"

"Since when do you do things like this? I'd be happier if you transferred a good amount into my account. But seriously, when was the last time you gave me a gift? I'm sure it's not your idea!" Su Chen accepted the gift from Xi Xiaye with a grin. "Thanks, Xiaye!"

Xi Xiaye nodded with a smile.

"Come and sit. Everyone's been waiting. Take a look at the menu and order anything you like. It's gonna be a fabulous night!"

Su Chen seemed delighted as he waved his hand to the waiter to serve them wine. Everyone then raised their glasses in unison.

They sat down after a round of toast.

"Is your wife alright? I heard about some news and looked around for a bit. Things seem complicated, but I never believed that Xiaye would do something like that," Su Chen said quietly after he sat down close to Mu Yuchen. Glancing at Xi Xiaye who was sipping her wine, he noticed that she was still her cool usual self. Two other girls went up to talk to her and she gave them a warm smile.

"It's alright. Someone's just messing with her," Mu Yuchen replied straightforwardly.

"Who exactly wants to mess with her? Matters like this aren't a joke! What the heck!?" Su Chen's eyes turned icy.

"It's going to be over soon. Just wait and see."

"Same old thing. Let me know if there's anything I can help with." Su Chen did not press on the matter. He glanced at Mu Yuchen and they had another drink again.

The men started smoking and playing cards together while the girls sang karaoke. From time to time, Xi Xiaye glanced at Mu Yuchen who was focused on the cards. After a while, her phone started ringing. It was a call from the Shen Residence.

She frowned a little before she stood up and went outside.

It was Shen Yue calling. He was mainly concerned about the same matter.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm alright. Mu Yuchen said he'll take care of it, so things will be okay."

"Mmm, since things have come down to this, take better care of yourself."

"I got it, Grandpa. Rest earlier. I'll visit you soon."

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath after hanging up on the call. She grabbed the cold railing with one hand and held her phone tightly with the other.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps behind her, and the whiff of cologne surrounded her. Before Xi Xiaye could turn around, that person's nefarious voice reached her ears. "Long time no see. Nice to see you, Ms. Xiaye!"

With a deep frown, she turned around to the voice calling out to her. It was Qi Lei!

Armed with a wicked smile on his handsome face, a light flashed through his eyes as he stared straight at Xi Xiaye.
