Chapter 66 - 63 You look a lot like my husband.

"What’s wrong? Can’t drink?" Lin Huai Shu was snapped back to reality by their exaggerated reactions. "I can drink," Qin Xia looked at Qiao Yuxian and said, "but you’d better be prepared for her to make a scene later." Chu Zhengran glanced at Qin Xia, and when he withdrew his gaze, he downed the drink on the table. "Huh?" Lin Huai Shu looked puzzled. "No way. The alcohol tonight is all pretty weak, and we haven’t had much." Qiao Yu Xian confidently met Qin Xia’s gaze and said, "I don’t feel like there’s anything wrong either. I don’t feel a thing." Qin Xia nodded, wearing an expression that hinted, "You better still feel nothing in ten minutes." "You better." "Absolutely!" Qiao Yuxian said. Qin Xia, with an expression of mock belief, sat back down. Gu Yanjing lifted his gaze to look at Wei Jiye who was still standing. Sensing his worry and tension, Gu Yanjing’s face grew even more solemn. Wei Jiye met his gaze, looked away after two seconds, and sat back down on the sofa. Only then did Gu Yanjing look at Qiao Yuxian, seeing her carefully wiping the tears that had been coughed out, avoiding her makeup with a tissue, seemingly alright. Afterwards, the group fell back into silence. Still reeling from the shock of Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian getting their marriage license. So shocked they didn’t know where to start asking questions, nor what to ask. It had almost been ten minutes when Lin Huai Shu snapped back to his senses and remembered some business. He looked to Qin Xia and said, "Qin Xia, your contract with Xi Mei Media is about to expire, right?" Qin Xia looked a bit distracted, dazed, and turned to look at him when she heard him speak. "Want to give Lin Entertainment a try? I can offer you shares in Lin Entertainment," Lin Huai Shu said, "You can set your own terms." Qiao Yuxian lifted her gaze to look at him. Qin Xia raised her eyebrows, fidgeting slightly and controlling herself not to glance in Chu Zhengran’s direction. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, openly poaching people, huh? Be careful, our boss might beat you up." Lin Huai Shu laughed, "Then I’ll have a chance to see who your mysterious boss really is. Whether it’s a man or a woman, human or ghost." "Set my own terms. Aren’t you afraid I’ll ask for the moon?" Qin Xia said, glancing at Qiao Yuxian. Qiao Yuxian looked at Lin Huai Shu, her expression inscrutable. "As long as you don’t want my position, you can set any terms," Lin Huai Shu said. "I must poach you over. I would even take a loss, just to make sure Xi Mei loses a top player. I’d rather not earn any money than let Xi Mei make a penny. I have to drive him to bankruptcy. I only want to stand tall, not shoulder to shoulder with anyone." After speaking, he turned to Wei Jiye, "How many more years on your contract? I will pay your penalty fee; you come to Lin Entertainment too." "I signed a long-term contract with Xi Mei," Wei Jiye declined, "and I have no intention of leaving." "I think you can reconsider," Lin Huai Shu urged without giving up. Qiao Yuxian sat properly on the sofa, listening to him speak while watching him. The man seemed quite normal, but... a few seconds later, she suddenly picked up the wine glass from the table, gripping the glass stem, and knocked it against the table edge. Then she suddenly stood up. The wine glass shattered with a sound, startling everyone as they all stood up to look at her. Gu Yanjing’s gaze fell on her hand, seeing there was nothing wrong, then he looked at her legs and feet before pulling her towards him, avoiding the shards on the floor. The venue played soothing piano music, everyone engaged in conversation and socializing, so not many noticed what was happening here. Only those nearby who heard the noise glanced over. But seeing the bodyguards standing around, they only took a quick look and didn’t dare to stare. Qiao Yuxian gripped the glass stem tightly, the cup part shattered, with the remaining sharp glass reflecting a cold gleam. When Gu Yanjing pulled her aside, she staggered a couple of steps, but the glass shard in her hand remained steadily pointed at Lin Huai Shu, "Villain! You asked for it!" Gu Yanjing stood by her side, looking at her profile. She seemed quite normal, with no strange expressions, and even with a touch of ferocity. Yet her voice was slurring, obviously drunk. Qin Xia chuckled softly, watching for the entertainment, thinking: Now this is going to be fun. Tonight, surely, a big animosity will form. Chu Zhengran glanced at her, and Qin Xia just happened to also glance in his direction. They locked eyes for a second, then both casually looked away. Chu Zhengran’s expression was unreadable. Only Qin Xia’s gleeful expression faded a bit, as she seemed a bit at a loss. "Little sister-in-law, what’s going on? What did I do wrong? You gotta let me understand," Lin Huai Shu said, his scalp tingling at the sight of the cold glinting glass shard. He dodged a bit, but the glass shard followed him, always pointing at him.
