When Sang Li entered, almost everyone around stopped talking and looked at Sang Li.

Sang Li was leading Chu Yin inside, rather than having Chu Yin on his arm.

Their closeness was evident.

Many were surprised, never expecting Sang Li to choose a female celebrity as his date.

Since Sang Li inherited the Sang Group, his reputation has been excellent.

Many women admire him, yet it’s unclear why he has no dating experience.

Lin Zhiyi only realized after coming to Hai City, there are two reasons.

The first is many women find him too orthodox, intolerant of mistakes, so they dare not date him.

The second is because of Sang Li’s former suitor, Ye Feifei.

Ye Feifei acted innocent and straightforward in the Sang Family, but secretly sabotaged anyone who tried to pursue Sang Li.

She is also Sang Ran’s close friend, so no one dared to offend her.

Most assumed Sang Li would choose a socialite, yet unexpectedly, he amazed everyone by picking a female star.

And a female star who’s recently been in the spotlight.

Chu Yin was mentally prepared beforehand, but being so scrutinized still made her feel uneasy.

Luckily, she could act.

She treated these people as extras, smiling, smile after smile.

Sang Li squeezed her hand: "Don’t worry."

Chu Yin responded with a hum, accompanying Sang Li to greet people, getting through it safely.

After walking a bit, she noticed Lin Zhiyi, and just as she was about to greet her, she saw Bai Hui standing next to Lin Zhiyi.

Chu Yin immediately became alert, nodding gracefully as a greeting.

Only after accompanying Sang Li for a circle did she use the excuse of getting champagne to approach Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi took the opportunity to introduce Chu Yin.

"Chu Yin, these are Mrs. Dai, Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Yang... and President Bai."

Chu Yin looked at the group, saying: "Hello, ladies."

Mrs. Wei, being naturally gossip-prone, quickly asked: "Miss Chu is even younger and prettier than online; no wonder Mr. Sang wants to publicly pursue you."

Chu Yin quickly realized Mrs. Wei was trying to get information, to see if she was the woman Sang Li publicly chased.

She smiled: "Mrs. Wei looks nothing like a mother, I almost want to call you sister."

Chu Yin didn’t give any information, directly changing the subject.

Mrs. Wei covered her mouth, laughing: "You talk so well."

Lin Zhiyi was sweating inside, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when Bai Hui started the trouble.

"Miss Chu, you haven’t said if you are the one Sang is pursuing, some people just want to ride the wave, I know you’re a celebrity who needs hype."

Chu Yin didn’t expect Bai Hui’s question to be so direct.

As she hesitated how to respond, Sang Li suddenly appeared behind her.

"What if she is? President Bai has a problem?"

Bai Hui immediately smiled: "Mr. Sang, you’re overthinking, we’re just curious."

"If you’re so curious, why doesn’t President Bai just ask me?" Sang Li countered.

Bai Hui’s smile became somewhat awkward.

Sang Li continued: "Next time, if you have questions, come directly to me."

Bai Hui said no more.

Mrs. Dai spoke again: "Mr. Sang really makes people envy Chu; their relationship must be great."

Sang Li smiled without saying anything, tacitly acknowledging.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyi noticed Chen Jin appearing at the entrance of the banquet hall.

She glanced at Chu Yin and turned around to say she was going to the restroom.

Soon after, Chu Yin followed along.

"Zhiyi, what’s up?"

"I think I just saw your sister," Lin Zhiyi said.

"Who else?"

Lin Zhiyi looked towards a direction in the banquet hall.

Chu Yin followed the gaze: "Bai Hui?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head: "Not her."

"Who then?"

"You’ll find out soon enough; for now, let’s figure out Chu Wu’s motive," Lin Zhiyi said.

Chu Yin racked her brain but still couldn’t fathom Chu Wu’s purpose.

Chen Jin continued: "Chu Wu’s team mainly handles the guests’ drinks."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yin and Lin Zhiyi looked at the waiters moving around in the banquet hall.

Most guests paid them no heed, occasionally reaching for a drink.

Chu Yin speculated: "Could Chu Wu be aiming to drug Mr. Sang?"

Chen Jin shook his head: "Zhou Zhao is here, and even if Chu Wu wears disguises, his skills would detect her. Plus, they all have neutralizing agents developed by Li Huan’s lab, neutralizing most narcotics."

Gong Chen was previously drugged with such potency that Li Huan and her lab sped up the development of defensive medication.

Besides, drugging usually requires proximity from someone close.

Not just anyone can drug someone.

Thus ruled out, Chu Wu couldn’t easily approach Sang Li.

"If not Mr. Sang, who else could she target?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

Chu Yin came to her senses and pointed at herself.

"Me. Chu Wu’s ultimate aim is to destroy me."

Chen Jin agreed with Chu Yin’s deduction.

"The least guarded here is Miss Chu, and Chu Wu can easily approach her with a new face, but after drugging, what’s her goal?"

Then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Of course, to create a bigger scandal overshadowing her own news."
