Gu Hecheng drove like crazy and finally arrived before Shen Qianqian's dinner party.
When Gu Hecheng walked in, the main cast and crew members were already there, including Shen Qianqian and He Yijia.
Shen Qianqian had already met He Yijia in the afternoon, so she naturally sat next to He Yijia without any hesitation.
However, as soon as she sat down, before she could say anything to him, a very familiar figure suddenly came in from the door, startling her.
He Yijia followed Shen Qianqian's shocked gaze and saw the person who had just entered.
He Yijia instinctively frowned and looked at him warily.
Gu Hecheng had rushed all the way here, but his hopeful gaze froze the moment he saw He Yijia.
Before Gu Hecheng could say anything, the producer and director rushed over to him like his lackeys.
"President Gu, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you to grace us with your presence."
Shen Qianqian frowned unnaturally at his casual words. She lowered her head and did not look at him.
He Yijia seemed to sense her discomfort, so he immediately whispered in her ear. "Is it okay? Why don't we stop eating? "
Shen Qianqian raised her head and looked at He Jia. Although she really didn't like being here, she knew that she wasn't the only one in the crew. If she really did that, she was afraid that she would appear pretentious and inexplicably attract gossip and suspicion.
At the thought of this, Shen Qianqian smiled at He Yijia, who was worried about her. "It's okay. Let's just eat quietly."
He Yijia was worried about Shen Qianqian, but since she had said so, he did not insist.
However, the interaction between him and Shen Qianqian made Gu Hecheng very unhappy.
Gu Hecheng was not in the mood to listen to the polite exchange between the two people in front of him. His eyes were fixed on Shen Qianqian like hooks. However, she did not raise her head to look at him. Not only that, but when he saw Shen Qianqian and He Yijia chatting and laughing, his heart almost exploded with anger.
"It seems that everyone is in a good mood," Gu Hecheng said sarcastically as he sat down and looked at Shen Qianqian.
Sure enough, the moment he spoke, everyone's voices gradually quieted down.
Shen Qianqian did not raise her head, but slowly, Gu Hecheng's sarcastic words forced her to raise her head.
"I didn't expect to see an acquaintance here. What a surprise!" Gu Hecheng said as he poured himself a glass of wine and walked over to He Yijia. "I'm very happy to see you here."
He Yijia and Shen Qianqian did not expect Gu Hecheng to make the first move. He Yijia was stunned for a moment. Then, he narrowed his eyes and stood up with his glass of wine.
Everyone was puzzled by this explosive conversation. However, Shen Qianqian lowered her head and reached out to touch He Yijia's wrist. Then, she shook her head slightly.
Shen Qianqian did not want the two of them to start the conversation in this way. It was too aggressive. However, she did not know that since the two of them had already started the conversation, it was impossible for them to stop so easily.
He Yijia did not waver at Shen Qianqian's decision, but it attracted Gu Hecheng's attention.
Gu Hecheng suddenly shifted his gaze to Shen Qianqian and changed the topic. "I heard from Mr. He that you have a good tolerance for alcohol. Miss Shen, as the main lead of this movie, don't you need to have a drink with me?"
He Yijia was angered by Gu Hecheng's nonsense. He reached out to press down on Gu Hecheng's hand that was holding the glass. His eyes were full of warning, but Gu Hecheng had no choice but to turn a blind eye to it.
Shen Qianqian did not expect Gu Hecheng to do this. It was not because of the toast, but because he wanted to stop her. He actually came to the set and even invested in the film.
Just as the three of them were in a delicate relationship, the producer and director looked at each other. There was a look of understanding in their eyes.
They suddenly remembered that when Gu Hecheng wanted to be their investor, he wanted them to sign Shen Qianqian.
Although Shen Qianqian was doing well in the entertainment industry, it was not necessary for her to act in a film. Therefore, although they did not think much of Gu Hecheng's actions at the time, now that they thought about it carefully, they realized that there was something wrong with it.
Just as they were in a daze, Shen Qianqian actually stood up. There was an indescribable coldness in her eyes. She actually poured herself a glass of wine.
Shen Qianqian's actions stunned everyone present. They had heard that Shen Qianqian did not drink, even at dinner parties. It was not that she was aloof, but that she could not hold her liquor well.
Just as they were puzzled, He Yijia and Gu Hecheng's faces became inexplicably nervous.
He Yijia quickly supported Shen Qianqian. He looked at her worriedly and asked in a low voice, "Qianqian, what are you doing? You know that you can't hold your liquor. Besides, what you poured was …"
"It's okay. I can still hold on. Even if I can't hold my liquor well, I won't get drunk after one glass."
He Yijia's action of supporting Shen Qianqian made Gu Hecheng, who was hesitant to reach out his hand, withdraw it a little awkwardly.
Gu Hecheng did not expect Shen Qianqian to actually make her drink so that she could talk less with him.
In fact, unlike He Yijia, Gu Hecheng did not know Shen Qianqian's alcohol tolerance well. He only remembered that three years ago, when he went back home, Shen Qianqian was drinking alone. Gu Hecheng did not know how much she drank, but she was really drunk.
However, even though Shen Qianqian was drunk, she did not forget to confess to him when he came back. But after a few words, she began to cry sadly again. She even asked him if he would be sad if she left him one day.
When Shen Qianqian was drinking, Gu Hecheng subconsciously thought of this. He wanted to reach out to stop her, but he was too slow. But at this moment, he had an answer to this scene that he could not forget.
Because there were many people present, Gu Hecheng clenched his teeth and watched Shen Qianqian inadvertently lean into He Yijia's arms.
He was obviously crazy with jealousy, but he could not show it because of the scene. So he could only grit his teeth and bear with it.
Shen Qianqian raised her slightly drunk eyes and inexplicably curved the corners of her lips. That smile was so innocent and bright that it made Gu Hecheng's heart throb violently. It was so sore that it hurt.
"Mr. Gu, I am actually not very good at drinking. Can you see that I am being sincere? Why don't I have another drink?" Shen Qianqian suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't I risk my life to drink with you? If I can't drink anymore, I won't eat and can go to bed early."
Shen Qianqian's words made Gu Hecheng frown deeply again.
Her sarcastic words were clearly telling him that she could either drink with them or leave now because she was no longer fit to drink.
Gu Hecheng gripped the wine glass so tightly that he almost crushed it. He suddenly regretted coming over to ask He Yijia to drink.
In front of so many people, he still had to consider Shen Qianqian's reputation. He could not snatch her away from He Yijia in front of so many people, but he could not just leave. So if Shen Qianqian left now, He Yijia would have the opportunity to take care of her.
Just as Gu Hecheng did not know what to do and was in a deadlock, Shen Qianqian suddenly poured herself another glass of wine and raised it to her mouth.
He Yijia reached out to stop her, but Shen Qianqian stopped him.
"Mr. Gu, it seems that you are not satisfied with the wine. Let me toast you again …"
Shen Qianqian said as she raised her head to pour the wine into her mouth. However, Gu Hecheng thought about Shen Qianqian's weak body and immediately stopped her.
"Miss Shen, you must be joking. Since you can't drink, I have no reason to force you. Miss Shen, you should rest early."
Gu Hecheng gritted his teeth as he said this. Then, He Yijia supported Shen Qianqian and said to everyone, "I will help her to rest."
When He Jia arrived in the afternoon, she was with Shen Qianqian. Hence, everyone present knew that the two of them were quite close. Since there was nothing else, they naturally could not say anything. They could only nod their heads and make way for them to pass through the door.
Gu Hecheng raised his head angrily and downed the untouched glass of wine in one gulp. Then, he sat down on the chair.
Gu Hecheng was not interested in the toasts at the dining table. Gu Hecheng only had Shen Qianqian in his heart.
He glanced at the door from time to time and then texted someone worriedly. Finally, he got the room number of the hotel that Shen Qianqian was staying at.
In the hotel, He Jia helped Shen Qianqian onto the bed and covered her with a cup. Shen Qianqian felt uncomfortable.
Shen Qianqian opened her eyes slightly uncomfortably and said to He Yijia, "I'm sorry, Yijia. Can you please turn off the lights when you leave?"
Shen Qianqian said as she turned her head and closed her eyes. Soon, her breathing became even.
He Yijia looked at the time. It was still early. He thought that Shen Qianqian might wake up in the middle of the night. Moreover, she had not eaten yet, so it was easy for her to wake up from hunger. Therefore, he got up and quietly went out. After that, he went downstairs to buy supper for her.
