The young master Han, who had been punched inexplicably, got up from the ground, intending to retaliate against Qin Tianyi.
Qin Tianyi quickly dodged, and not seeing Susu in the lounge, he said coldly, "Please, help yourself." Then he intended to leave the lounge to find Susu elsewhere.
Seeing that Qin Tianyi wasn't going to intervene, Young Master Han cursed, "Crazy," and lunged at Shu Yan again, easily pressing her back onto the sofa. "You slut that everyone has played with, stop pretending. You hooked up with me willingly, and there's no backing out now."
However, the lounge entrance was already crowded with onlookers, pointing and whispering about Shu Yan and Young Master Han.
"Isn't that the Shu family's daughter? How did she get involved with the Han family's young master?"
"Yes, it's scandalous!"
"These two are utterly disgraceful, what about their family reputation, their upbringing..."
Some people even took out their phones to take pictures and videos of them.
Shu Yan was going crazy, wanting only to cover her face. "So many people are watching, stop it!"
"Then I'll close the door, and we can continue!" Young Master Han didn't care about the embarrassment. Anyway, their Han family was nouveau riche, and they were in the mood, so they wouldn't stop.
Qin Tianyi ignored whatever this pair of scoundrels were doing. He pushed through the crowd at the door, only wanting to find Susu.
Susu, who had changed into a formal dress in the restroom, saw Qin Tianyi rushing out of the lounge and called out to him, "Tianyi, what's going on here? Why are there so many people at the door?"
Qin Tianyi grabbed her hand and asked, "Where did you go? Where did you change into this dress?"
Seeing his extremely anxious look, Susu smiled and said, "The restroom, the ladies' restroom. I didn't go to the men's restroom."
Qin Tianyi looked her up and down, seeing she could still smile, and asked, "Did anyone bully you?"
Susu said inexplicably, "No, a server brought a spare dress, and I changed in the restroom. The zipper on this dress is really difficult to manage, it's all in the back, so I kept reaching back with both hands, and it took me quite a while to change. The dirty dress has already been sent to the dry cleaners by the server."
"Turn around, let me see if your zipper is fastened," Qin Tianyi's voice became particularly gentle.
Susu turned around with a smile. Qin Tianyi saw that a small section of her newly changed dress wasn't zipped up yet and helped her pull it up, saying, "There, all done."
Just then, Lily Zhou walked over, clicking her tongue in amazement. "Good heavens, how thirsty can that decadent young master Han and the Shu family's daughter be? Are they performing a live-action blockbuster?"
"What happened in the lounge?" Susu curiously wanted to take a look but was pulled back by Qin Tianyi.
Lily Zhou looked at Susu and said with surprise, "Where is that server? Didn't he say he was going to take you to this lounge to change your dress? Why aren't you inside, but these two disgusting people have occupied it..."
Before Susu could answer, Shu Zhongze and Jia Nanfang also rushed over, alerted by the commotion.
Then they heard Jia Nanfang rush into the lounge and yell at Young Master Han to stop, followed by Shu Yan's crying, and then the sound of Shu Zhongze slamming the door shut from the lounge.
Qin Tianyi, holding Susu's hand, moved away from these sordid and disgusting affairs.
They walked to the entrance of the banquet hall. Susu glanced back at the ongoing, luxurious, and grand banquet, filled with clinking glasses and conversation, and said regretfully, "It looks like Shu Zhongze will have to clear the venue. Such a good centennial celebration has been ruined by Shu Yan. The ancestors of the Shu family must be furious and crawling out from under the ground."
Qin Tianyi smiled faintly and said, "Let's go. This is their Shu family's private matter, and it's not appropriate for us to watch this spectacle."
"Mm, let's go home." Susu gave him a bright smile.
On the way back to the seaside villa, Qin Tianyi asked her curiously, "What exactly happened tonight? When the wine was spilled on you, the director of RJ was by your side, right? She must have heard clearly that you were going to that lounge to change your dress. Why weren't you in that lounge, but went to the restroom instead?"
"Mr. Qin, you really think I'm a fool. With Shu Yan at the banquet, I had to be extra cautious," Susu told him how she had seen through Shu Yan's trick and decided to play along.
She hadn't expected Shu Yan to actually trap herself in the trap she had set.
When the server suddenly lost his footing and spilled wine on her dress, Susu felt something was not quite right.
The ground where the server was standing was clean, with no water or oil to make him lose his footing.
Moreover, the server said he was taking her to lounge number two, and only that lounge had a spare dress. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it became.
When the server brought her to the door of lounge number two, she didn't push open the slightly ajar door. Instead, she threatened the server, "Who exactly told you to do this deliberately? What is the purpose of leading me to this lounge?"
The server, who had taken money from Shu Yan, was already guilty. He became flustered when she threatened him but still denied it, saying, "No one told me to lead you here deliberately. The spare dress is indeed kept in this lounge."
"You just spilled a tray of wine on my dress, and I didn't blame you at all. Every profession has its difficulties, and I just assumed it was an accident. If you don't tell the truth, I'll call your manager to review the surveillance footage and see why you were so careless tonight." Her calm tone exuded a powerful aura of having understood everything.
The server began to regret taking Shu Yan's money. After a brief interaction with Gu Susu, he felt she was a good person, as she hadn't scolded him or even blamed him at all. Gritting his teeth, he said, "A woman in a purplish-red dress told me to do this. I don't know what would happen if you entered this lounge. She just told me to lead you in."
A purplish-red dress? Upon hearing the server's description, Susu knew it could only be Shu Yan.
Susu looked around and found that Shu Yan wasn't looking this way.
Having planned everything, Shu Yan was pretending to be engrossed in conversation with some socialites as if nothing had happened.
Susu immediately said in a low voice, "I'm going to the restroom now. Go and tell the woman in the purplish-red dress that you've brought me into lounge number two. Whatever benefits she gave you, I'll give you double."
The server nodded. Susu remembered something and asked, "Do you really have a spare dress here?"
"Yes, but it's kept in the VIP room of the hotel's Grand Club."
"Then, after you notify the woman in the purplish-red dress, go and get a spare dress. Have a female server deliver it to the restroom, and you should not show your face again. If anyone asks, just say you sent the dress that got me dirty to the dry cleaners."
"Okay, ma'am, I know what to do."
Susu seized the opportunity while Shu Yan wasn't paying attention and quickly slipped away to the restroom.
