As is customary, there will be a lot of dressing rooms and lounges for guests to hold such a grand ball. Maybe Lu Jingcheng went to one of them in order to avoid drinking.

Shang Yucheng looked at his watch, the time was nearly two o'clock, and many guests had already said goodbye one after another, but Lu Jingcheng, the host, didn't know where he went, which was somewhat rude.

Shang Yucheng thought about this, so he called a waiter and asked him to take him to the attached room next to him to find someone.

The door of the women's lounge was ajar, and several young ladies gathered inside, whispering something in a low voice. Shang Yucheng passed by the door, and a plump woman in her thirties immediately called out to her, "Miss Shang—"

Shang Yucheng didn't want to disturb their small party, but they couldn't say anything about it when they opened their mouths to say hello.

She turned around and walked over to them with a smile, "Are the ladies leaving?" ”

The plump woman smiled and took a step forward, "It's not—it's not as good as you young people, who are still so energetic at this time." ”

This lady has just met with Shang Yucheng, her husband's surname is Zhao, short and fat but extremely kind, I heard that he works in the customs.

Mrs. Zhao is half a head taller than Shang Yucheng, her skin is slightly dark, and the powder on her face has melted off because of sweating, but she is not seen trimming her makeup. The slightly chubby figure was wrapped in a dark green cheongsam, and a black coat was held on his arm, as if he was about to put on a coat.

Mrs. Zhao looked Shang Yucheng up and down, "I heard that Miss Shang is twenty-four years old this year?" ”

This question was really a bit abrupt, Shang Yucheng was stunned when he heard it, and nodded, "Yes." ”

Mrs. Zhao looked at her again and said with a smile, "Miss Shang is so steady and generous, but she looks older." ”

Hearing this, Shang Yucheng couldn't laugh or cry, but she could see that this Mrs. Zhao was a straightforward person, and she didn't mean anything else. I had to smile politely, "Mrs. Zhao is too awarded." ”

Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Miss Lao Shang thanked Mr. Lu for his hospitality on behalf of Huaiyuan and me, and we will leave first." ”

Shang Yucheng only then knew that Mr. Zhao's name was Zhao Huaiyuan, which sounded a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had heard this name.

Shang Yucheng smiled and said, "Okay." I'll send Mrs. Zhao out. ”

Mrs. Zhao waved her hand casually, "No need, my husband is waiting outside, I'll just go by myself." Go find Mr. Lu. ”

Mrs. Zhao's neat appearance is like a man, Shang Yucheng couldn't help but smile, then Mrs. Zhao walked slowly.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, put on her coat and walked out.

The other ladies also said goodbye with a smile, and Shang Yucheng sent a few steps, and then watched them go out.

When she turned around again, she suddenly reacted, how did that Mrs. Zhao know that she was looking for Lu Jingcheng?

Shang Yucheng thought about it for a while, and put this question aside, maybe Mrs. Zhao just said it casually.

"This is the last Miss Shang." The waiter said politely, "This senior VIP lounge was prepared according to Mr. Lu's instructions, but I didn't use it tonight." ”

If there is a special guest at the ball, it is natural to prepare a separate lounge for the distinguished guests to rest, which is a normal arrangement. Shang Yucheng nodded, turned around and prepared to go back to the dance hall.

"Huh?" The waiter looked at the door suspiciously, "Looks like there's someone inside—"

When Shang Yucheng heard this, he turned his head to look at the door. Sure enough, the heavy solid wood door was pushed open a crack, and a glimmer of light came out of it.

The waiter thought it was strange, so he knocked lightly on the door and pushed it open.

There was only one lamp on in the room, and in the dim light, Shang Yucheng didn't see clearly for a while, she took two steps into the room, and opened her eyes wide, as if she was frightened - she subconsciously took a step back, just hitting the tall waiter.

"Ahh A woman's exclamation woke up the stunned local Shang Yucheng and the waiter, who was well-trained, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Shang Yucheng, "Miss, please go outside." ”

Although most of his vision was blocked, Shang Yucheng saw a woman with a bare back rolling off the sofa, and a man sat up from the sofa in rags, and turned his head to look at it-

It is the disappeared Lu Jingcheng!

"Miss!" The waiter probably hadn't dealt with such a complicated situation, and by this time a light sweat was already breaking out on his forehead. He reached out and helped Shang Yucheng's arm, "Miss, please go outside!" ”

Shang Yucheng finally reacted, she looked at Lu Jingcheng in surprise, and then turned to look at the woman in the room.

Sure enough—

Shang Yucheng's eyes collided with Leng Hui.

No matter how Leng Hui is scheming and ignoring morality on weekdays, but in the end, she is an unmarried woman from a serious family, and it is inevitable that she will panic when someone breaks this kind of thing at this time.

She hugged her clothes to her chest to cover her body, avoiding Shang Yucheng's gaze.

Shang Yucheng turned his gaze and glanced at Lu Jingcheng, quickly turned around and walked out.

The waiter apologized repeatedly, and left the room behind Shang Yucheng as if he were running away, not forgetting to close the door.

Shang Yucheng didn't care about him, just walked out of the corridor, walked through the hall, walked to the bar, and said to the waiter who was looking at him with curiosity, "Please give me a glass of water!" ”

The impactful scene almost made the wine she had drunk tonight in her stomach gush up her throat, and she took the water cup handed by the waiter and poured most of it in one go, finally feeling better.

"What's wrong with you?"

Ye Shen was originally going to leave, but he happened to be bumped into by a few business friends, so he had to deal with them for a while, just in time to see Shang Yucheng appear with a strange expression, and walked straight to the bar, so he followed.

Shang Yucheng stroked his chest, then turned around and smiled reluctantly, "I'm fine." I was just a little sick to my stomach. ”

Fang just collided with the waiter in the room, and it happened to hit the bun on the back of Shang Yucheng's head, her hair was slightly scattered, and she looked a little embarrassed. Ye Shen looked at her and frowned, "Are you okay?" What about Lu Jingcheng? ”

Before Shang Yucheng could say anything, he suddenly heard Lu Jingcheng's voice coming from behind Ye Shen, "I'm here—"

Ye Shen turned around and glanced at Lu Jingcheng, looked him up and down carefully, and suddenly sank his face, "What were you doing just now?" ”

Although Lu Jingcheng had already put on his clothes, he didn't clean them up carefully in a hurry, and there was still a faint lipstick mark on his neck. Shang Yucheng knew that Ye Shen knew what was going on as soon as he saw Lu Jingcheng's appearance, and even if he had the heart to cover it up for him, it would be useless, so he had to be silent with an embarrassed face.

Lu Jingcheng looked at Ye Shen coldly, "What did I do, and what do I have to do with you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Shen was caught off guard and threw a punch, which hit Lu Jingcheng's face-

Shang Yucheng didn't understand why Ye Shen suddenly attacked Lu Jingcheng, and covered his lips in surprise.

Lu Jingcheng had already drunk a lot of wine, how could he withstand Ye Shen's blow, and fell directly to the ground.

Lu Jingcheng, who was embarrassed and angry, rolled over and got up, and also raised his fist and waved at Ye Shen, Ye Shen dodged sideways and gave him two blows in the abdomen.

Lu Jingcheng staggered to the bar, picked up a wine bottle on the table, and turned around to continue playing.

At this time, there were already a lot of people around, and seeing that it was Ye Shen and Lu Jingcheng who were fighting, many people who wanted to persuade them hesitated - whether to pull Lu Jingcheng or Ye Shen, this is a problem!

"Stop!" Shang Yucheng saw that Lu Jingcheng had taken a sturdy bottle of foreign wine, and hurriedly shouted, stepping forward to stop Lu Jingcheng.

"Be careful-" Ye Shen saw Shang Yucheng stop in front of Lu Jingcheng, and hurriedly pushed her aside, and with this wrong effort, the wine bottle hit him heavily on his right forearm.

Ye Shen snorted, his face turned pale.

"Ye Shen!" Shang Yucheng saw that his expression was painful, and knew that this injury must not be light, and he couldn't care about anything else under the nervousness, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check his injury.

Lu Jingcheng pulled her to his side, "Shang Yucheng, you are not allowed to go over!" ”

In this way, the people around who were watching the excitement finally understood one or two, it turned out that this fight was caused by jealousy-

At this time, Lu Jingcheng's staff finally arrived with the hotel people, and hurriedly invited the onlookers out one after another. Lu Jingcheng's first New Year's Day ball ended unhappily.

Shang Yucheng remembered Fang Cai's scene, only to feel that pulling her hands made her extremely disgusting, she struggled twice, but Lu Jingcheng refused to let go.

"You let her go!" Ye Shen couldn't see Shang Yucheng suffering from the crime in his eyes, so he stepped forward with his injuries and pulled Lu Jingcheng's arm away violently.

Ye Shen was pushed in a flash and almost hit the chair behind him, he turned around and glared angrily at Ye Shen and Shang Yucheng.

Shang Yucheng didn't look at him, and gently held Ye Shen's arm, "How are you?" ”

Ye Shen ignored her question, and only looked at Shang Yucheng with a face full of regret, "I'm sorry!" I shouldn't have let you go to him—"

Shang Yucheng frowned slightly, could it be that Ye Shen's matter was also taken care of?

Even if you see it, she is not so hurt - Ye Shen should always understand.

No matter what, it was always Ye Shen's intention to stand up for her, and she shook her head, "I'm fine." ”

Ye Shen seemed to have made up his mind, and took her hand, "I'll take you out of here." ”

Ye Shen's move immediately caused Lu Jingcheng's face to turn from red to blue, and he looked at the two opposite with resentment, his face was extremely gloomy.

Shang Yucheng also felt that something was wrong, she looked up at him, "Ye Shen-"

At this time, Leng Hui appeared out of nowhere.

"Jing Cheng, are you okay?"

The person who came was Leng Hui, she ran to Lu Jingcheng's side, and just asked nervously, she saw the injury on Lu Jingcheng's face, "Ah! She exclaimed, "You're hurt?" ”

Shang Yucheng glanced at Leng Hui contemptuously and turned his eyes away.

When Ye Shen saw the scene at this time, he finally reacted in hindsight, he glanced at Leng Hui in surprise, and then looked at Shang Yucheng.

He saw Shang Yucheng's hair scattered, and then looked at Lu Jingcheng's description, and said that Lu Jingcheng wanted to misbehave towards Shang Yucheng - it turned out that the cause of this farce was a misunderstanding.

Shang Yucheng looked at Ye Shen with a wry smile, shook his head, turned his head and swept his gaze sharply over Lu Jingcheng and Leng Hui.

Ye Shen has always been good at observing words and feelings, but at this time, he was in a chaotic mood when he didn't care, and he understood what was going on almost instantly.

Although for Lu Jingcheng, this matter was equally bad, but fortunately, Shang Yucheng was not involved, which made Ye Shen breathe a sigh of relief.

Shang Yucheng didn't want to face Lu Jingcheng and Leng Hui for a moment, and whispered to Ye Shen, "Let's go." ”

Ye Shen looked at Lu Jingcheng coldly and nodded. As soon as the two of them turned around, they heard Leng Huijiao shouting, "Stop!" ”

Leng Hui's series of reactions made Shang Yucheng really a little incomprehensible, was she sure that she would not publicize her ugly things to the public?

Shang Yucheng stood still and turned his head to look at her, his gaze extremely cold.

Leng Hui was not afraid of her, and said with a disgruntled face, "Mr. Ye wantonly hurts people in public, isn't there a royal law in his eyes?" ”

Shang Yucheng suddenly understood Leng Hui's thoughts.

Now that the Leng family is on the verge of collapse, Leng Hui will never be willing to be a young lady from a fallen family, so she grabbed Lu Jingcheng's life-saving straw in a hurry, and Lu Jingcheng, who was half drunk, happened to have firewood with her, which almost achieved a good thing. At this time, it was time for her to strike while the iron was hot and show her loyalty to Lu Jingcheng.

It seems that it will be difficult to be good with Lu Jingcheng tonight - Shang Yucheng looked at Lu Jingcheng with some hesitation.

No matter where Ye Shen and herself have come now-she has spent countless thoughts on Lu Jingcheng's move. Now that the Leng family is no longer worried, only Lu Jingpeng is still at ease, maybe it will only take a short time for her to succeed in revenge - should she give up?

Lu Jingcheng stared at Shang Yucheng, his gaze had never been so unfamiliar, making people feel frightened.

Shang Yucheng couldn't help but shudder, and a hint of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Yucheng." Lu Jingcheng suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

"What do you want to do?" Ye Shen stared at him vigilantly, pulling Shang Yucheng closer to him.

Lu Jingcheng didn't look at him, but said coldly to Shang Yucheng, "Let's talk." ”

Shang Yucheng hesitated for a moment, only to hear Ye Shen say categorically, "No!" He looked at Lu Jingcheng, "If you have something to say, just say it here-"

"Ye Shen." Shang Yucheng interrupted him softly.

Ye Shen frowned and looked at Shang Yucheng, but saw her shake her head slightly, "It's okay." I'm going to talk to him. ”

"Yucheng!" Ye Shen lowered his voice and said worriedly.

Seeing his expression, Shang Yucheng smiled faintly, "Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong." ”

Ye Shen hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

When Lu Jingcheng saw the two people in front of him, he only felt dazzling and piercing, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "What, is Ye Shen afraid that I will do anything to Yucheng?" He looked at Shang Yucheng and sneered, "Don't you know - she is an extraordinary woman, needless to say that she can protect herself, even if she hurts someone, there is no problem." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Shen and Shang Yucheng's faces changed, and they were stunned.

What went wrong? Shang Yucheng looked at Lu Jingcheng, whose eyes were full of anger in front of him, and quickly thought, how much did he know?
