    Following him was a slightly younger man, also disying an air of wealth and nobility, with high-bridged nose and square mouth, clear brows and bright eyes – suggesting that he had the aid of influential people in his life.


    Ming Jing observed them without showing any emotions as murmurs began to rise all around them.


    “It’s actually Mr. Shen Zhou, why wasn’t there any news beforehand?” “I didn’t expect Mr. Shen Zhou woulde, such an honor for the Gao Family.” Ming Jing understood, it was Shen Zhou.


    Zhu Xiangxiang’s face changed as she saw Shen Zhou suddenly appeared.


    Didn’t Zhou Ling say he wouldn’te? What’s going on?


    Sun Yi asked worriedly, “Are you alright? Why do you look so pale?”


    Zhu Xiangxiang touched her hair, cursing silently in her mind, “I suddenly feel a bit unwell, senior, can you help me outside to get some fresh air?”


    Sun Yi nced in Shen Zhou’s direction, feeling somewhat regretful, and helped Zhu Xiangxiang, “Alright.”


    Zhu Xiangxiang turned and caught sight of Ming Jing in the corner, her face turning even paler.


    She rubbed her brow and said, “Senior, my sister Ming Jing has a misunderstanding with me, I really want to take the opportunity to exin it to her, but she never believes me, can you help me?”


    No man could resist her pitiful appearance, Sun Yi asked, “How can I help you?” “Help me invite Ming Jing to the back garden, but don’t let her know I asked for her, otherwise, she will definitely refuse to see me.” Sun Yi believed her without any doubt, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you.”


    Zhu Xiangxiang smiled palely, “Thank you, senior.”


    Gao Yang apanied Shen Zhou as he walked in, “Mr. Shen, your presence in our humble abode truly brings honor to our household.”


    Shen Zhou scanned the room and smiled, “It is Granny Gao’s 70th birthday, as a junior, how can I note and visit?”


    Gao Yang chuckled, “Mother will be delighted to see you.”


    Gao Jia walked up to them, and Gao Yang immediately introduced her, “This is my daughter, Gao Jia.”


    Gao Jia respectfully said, “Hello, Uncle Shen.”


    Shen Zhou smiled and nodded.


    Charles Gao apanied Gao Xu beside him and whispered, “Dad, didn’t you say Mr. Shen wouldn’te tonight?”


    Gao Xu lowered his voice, “How would I know? It’s impossible to guess the thoughts of these big shots.”


    Charles Gao nced at Shen Ke beside him and narrowed his eyes, asking, “Is


    Mr. Shen looking for someone?”


    Shen Ke smiled, “Young Master Gao has a keen eye, I am looking for an old friend.”


    Charles Gao thought of the incident that happened on the subway that day and wondered if it was really because of that?


    He looked at the crowd but couldn’t find Ming Jing. She was definitely here tonight; when he greeted the guests at the entrance, they had said hello to each other.


    Following the procedure, Shen Zhou first visited Madam Gao, and once he emerged, he was immediately surrounded by a group of people – which was why Shen Zhou disliked attending banquets.


    Finally rescued by Shen Ke, he took a breath and asked, “Have you found the person yet?”


    Shen Ke shook his head, “I heard the Zhu sisters both came tonight, but I didn’t see them in the banquet hall, they might have been held up by something.”


    Shen Zhou found the glitz and mour of the ce distasteful, while Charles Gao suggested from the side, “Uncle Shen, let me take you to the back garden for some fresh air.”


    Shen Zhou grinned, “Sounds good.”


    Granny Gao loved tending to flowers and nts, so a special area was set aside at the back of the vi for her to nt flowers, forming a not-so-small back garden.


    The back garden had several gstone paths, with flower beds and fruit trees nted on both sides of the paths. Stepping in felt like entering a maze.


    Ming Jing looked at Sun Yi walking in front and calmly asked, “You said someone fainted here, where are they?”


    Sun Yi pointed ahead, “Over there, hurry up, or it’ll be toote.”


    Ming Jing stopped and leisurely said, “If someone fainted, you should call 120 (emergency services), why find me? Or rather, why do you know I have medical skills?”


    Those pitch-ck eyes seemed to see through everything, making Sun Yi’s scalp tingle. He stammered, “I didn’t lie to you, I heard it from Xiangxiang. It’s a matter of life and death, hurry up and follow me.”


    As he subconsciously tried to grab Ming Jing’s arm, she gently waved her hand, causing him to involuntarily retreat a few steps, looking at her in disbelief.


    “What are you trying to do?”


    “That’s what I should be asking you.” Ming Jing looked around at the surroundings; the flower beds were quite tall, andbined with the dim light of the night, visibility was low. The cheerfulughter from the brightly lit vi in the distance only served to highlight the silence of the garden.


    “What did Zhu Xiangxiang say to you?” Ming Jing asked indifferently.


    A sudden chill ran through Sun Yi’s heart, he pursed his lips, “I don’t know what you’re talking about..”
