Chapter 20
What are you doing?
Shen Yunyi, who had walked away, heard the sound and turned back, frowning as he looked at the group in front of him. "Wang Qingwen, Li Rushan, move aside."
Shen Yunyi clearly recognized the two leaders and called out their names. Jiang Shuiyun watched silently from the side. These people should all know the original owner, and their relationship couldn't be that good.
"Shen Yunyi?"
Wang Qingwen, dressed in a baseball uniform, took off his sunglasses, glanced at Shen Yunyi, then looked at Jiang Shuiyun, and said, "Are you kidding me? You're standing up for Jiang Shuiyun? What a joke! Didn't you used to dislike her the most?"
Upon hearing Wang Qingwen's words, Shen Yunyi felt somewhat embarrassed. He glanced at Jiang Shuiyun's expression out of the corner of his eye, but didn't dare to look closely before quickly turning his attention back to Wang Qingwen. "What I do is none of your business! Get out of the way!"
"Shen Yunyi, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Wang Qingwen asked in confusion, pulling off his sunglasses and stepping forward to face Shen Yunyi.
"Don't be impulsive," Li Rushan, behind Wang Qing's tattoo, stopped Wang Qingwen and looked at Shen Yunyi. "Shen Yunyi, do you know why your father was able to get rid of you with just Shengguang Group? It's because you always side with the wrong people. Jiang Shuiyun is now a stray dog. Why are you protecting her? We're on the same side, okay?"
Shen Yunyi slowly clenched his fist, looked at Li Rushan, who appeared refined but whose words were cutting to the heart, and sneered, "Who's with you? When you were following Jiang Shuiyun around, wagging your tails and begging for mercy, you never said that. Now you're showing off your power because you were once trampled underfoot by Jiang Shuiyun, aren't you? A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. You really haven't changed your ways and remain loyal to the end."
"Shen Yunyi! You son of a bitch..."
Wang Qingwen had a fiery temper and swung his fist straight at Shen Yunyi's face.
At the critical moment, Wang Qingwen's fist froze in mid-air. Jiang Shuiyun, who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, reached out and grabbed Wang Qingwen's wrist, glancing contemptuously at the seemingly incompetent Wang Qingwen. "Trying to fight in front of me?"
"you……"
Wang Qingwen tried to break free, but felt as if her wrist was about to be snapped, unable to muster any strength. She looked at Jiang Shuiyun with some fear.
Li Rushan also noticed this strange scene. Without making a sound, he took a step back and raised his hand, "Come on, everyone! What are you standing there for?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people following behind the two were also apprehensive, but this was a rare opportunity to show their skills, so they all gritted their teeth and rushed forward.
Just as Shen Yunyi came to his senses and was about to help Jiang Shuiyun, Yi Jinbai was thrust next to him. Jiang Shuiyun glanced at Shen Yunyi and said, "Take good care of Jinbai."
With almost no unnecessary movements, Jiang Shuiyun easily took on multiple opponents. Almost everyone she touched let out a wail and collapsed to the ground. In just about a minute, the ground was covered with people groaning in pain, leaving only Li Rushan, who was hiding at the back, standing.
Jiang Shuiyun pulled a handkerchief from Li Rushan's suit pocket with some disdain, wiped her hands, kicked aside the person next to her, and looked at the only remaining person, Li Rushan, "You go?"
"No, no, no, no!" Li Rushan was so frightened that she took a step back and leaned against the wall. "Young Miss, I didn't mean that."
After wiping her hands, Jiang Shuiyun stuffed the handkerchief back into Li Rushan's pocket, smiled, and patted Li Rushan's face. "Be sensible, so don't let it happen again. Also, you can call the police or whatever, but I guarantee you'll regret it, understand?"
"I understand!"
Li Rushan nodded vigorously. Every time Jiang Shuiyun slapped his face, he felt like his neck was about to be snapped. How could he dare not agree?
After patting Li Rushan's hand, Jiang Shuiyun wiped it on the shoulder of his suit and said, "Get lost."
As soon as Jiang Shuiyun finished speaking, everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They scrambled to their feet, those who could walk carried those who couldn't, and those who could run ran away as fast as they could. On the way, they bumped into Xi Rong and his group, who were a step behind. They didn't even glance at them before quickly disappearing from the scene.
After everyone ran away, Jiang Shuiyun turned around, looked down at her hands, and frowned slightly. "I need to wash my hands."
Speechless with shock at the scene, Shen Yunyi and Yi Jinbai stood there, their expressions somewhat complicated.
"Teacher Jiang, Miss Yi, President Shen, are you waiting for us? A few people went out just now and they were really funny, did you see them?"
Xi Rong saw Jiang Shuiyun and the others, and quickly walked over to greet them.
Shen Yunyi glanced at Jiang Shuiyun, nodded with somewhat complicated feelings, and said, "Which private room did you book? Let's go over there first."
"Alright, it's right ahead."
Xi Rongxian led the way, and the others followed to greet him.
Jiang Shuiyun nodded and looked at Yi Jinbai, who had regained his composure. Only now did she realize that she was a little uneasy, wondering if what had just happened would cause Yi Jinbai new psychological trauma.
Those who don't know are the happiest. Didn't they see that the people who were just chatting happily were actually preoccupied with their own thoughts?
Upon arriving at the private room, Jiang Shuiyun pulled Shen Yunyi to the doorway and whispered, "There should be CCTV footage in the corridor. Go find the boss and get that footage later."
Shen Yunyi understood without Jiang Shuiyun saying anything, and immediately went ahead without delay. Jiang Shuiyun followed him into the private room and happened to see Yi Jinbai standing at the door. Her heart tightened for no reason.
Before Jiang Shuiyun could speak, she saw Yi Jinbai avoid her gaze, lower his head, and walk away.
Jiang Shuiyun felt that her image had been completely ruined recently. She guessed that in Yi Jinbai's mind, she had become violent and irritable again. Jiang Shuiyun didn't know how to explain, so she could only sit down in silence.
"Huh? Where's President Shen?"
Xi Rong looked at the empty seat and asked about Shen Yunyi.
"Oh, he's going out for a bit. Let us order first."
Jiang Shuiyun stood up. "You guys order first, I'm going to the restroom."
"Okay, Teacher Jiang, the restroom is at the end of the corridor, just turn right."
Xi Rong took the menu from the waiter and gave Jiang Shuiyun directions.
Jiang Shuiyun glanced at Yi Jinbai, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, then left the private room and followed the corridor to the restroom.
After carefully washing her hands, Jiang Shuiyun looked up at herself in the mirror. Perhaps she should talk to Yi Jinbai as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuiyun shook her hands, took out a tissue to wipe her hands as she walked out. When she reached the corridor, she ran into Shen Yunyi, who was returning. The two of them stopped at the same time.
Jiang Shuiyun watched as Shen Yunyi seemed somewhat embarrassed and hesitated to speak. She didn't rush him but waited quietly, guessing what he was going to say.
"Thank you for what you said earlier. There's something else I wanted to tell you. Our relationship wasn't good before," Shen Yunyi said somewhat awkwardly, looking at Jiang Shuiyun as he explained what Wang Qingwen had said earlier. "But ever since you lost your memory, I've realized that I might have had some prejudice against you before, so..."
"I don't remember anything from before. My life began the moment I lost my memory. The past is behind me, and you are my first friend, right?"
Jiang Shuiyun took the initiative to extend her hand to Shen Yunyi. Her judgment of people was never wrong; Shen Yunyi was a person worth befriending.
"Yes!" Shen Yunyi was surprised that Jiang Shuiyun didn't ask anything and just glossed over it. He was pleasantly surprised and gained a new understanding of Jiang Shuiyun. He smiled and held Jiang Shuiyun's hand, "Then you can just call me Yunyi from now on. We're true friends now."
"Call me Shuiyun or Sister, I don't mind either."
Jiang Shuiyun nodded. Come to think of it, Shen Yunyi really was her first friend in this world.
"Come on, you're younger than me, you should call me brother."
Shen Yunyi started arguing about their ages, and Jiang Shuiyun shook her head, "Keep dreaming."
The two returned to the private room while talking. Xi Rong and the others had already ordered, and handed the menu to Shen Yunyi, saying, "President Shen, Teacher Jiang, please see if you would like to order anything else."
Shen Yunyi casually drew two more checkmarks and handed them to Jiang Shuiyun, saying, "Shuiyun, you can choose."
Jiang Shuiyun took the menu and glanced at it. "Jinbai, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
When Yi Jinbai heard Shen Yunyi address Jiang Shuiyun, he looked up, wondering when their relationship had become so close. He was momentarily lost in thought until he heard Jiang Shuiyun's voice and shook his head, "That's enough."
"Okay, then let's do it this way."
Jiang Shuiyun remembered that Yi Jinbai seemed to like sweets, so she ordered a dessert and handed the menu back to the waiter.
At the dinner table, Jiang Shuiyun and Shen Yunyi initially kept everyone somewhat reserved, but after a couple of bottles of wine, the atmosphere relaxed a bit.
"Everyone, look this way, what is this?"
When they were almost finished eating, Yao Yao Ling took a remote control and slowly lowered a curtain on a wall. The surrounding lights dimmed, and the speakers that had been in the corner turned on, finally drawing attention to their presence.
"Let's start with 'Wishing You Prosperity'!"
Xi Rong sat down and ordered songs, then looked at Jiang Shuiyun and the others, "Does anyone else want to order songs?"
Shen Yunyi wasn't interested in this. "You guys play, I'm going out to make a phone call."
Jiang Shuiyun looked at Yi Jinbai, who was taking small bites of dessert beside her, and asked, "Jinbai?"
"No."
Jiang Shuiyun shook her head at Yi Jinbai, who seemed a little slow to react, and waved to Xi Rong, "You guys have fun."
Xi Rong and the others didn't treat each other as outsiders. Seeing that Jiang Shuiyun and the others weren't interested, they didn't force them. The group went over to play, but the deafening noise and chaotic dancing were somewhat of a headache.
Two songs later, Jiang Shuiyun sipped her tea, lowered her eyes, and looked at Yi Jinbai beside her. She saw that Yi Jinbai was still eating some dessert and drinking some beverage. She didn't want to disturb her, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Setting down her teacup, Jiang Shuiyun looked around in the dim light, wondering where her wine glass was.
There were many kinds of drinks tonight. Xi Rong mixed cocktails for everyone on the spot. They were delicious, but the alcohol content was a bit high. Jiang Shuiyun thought she had things to do when she got back, so she took a sip and put it aside. Why is it gone now?
Just as Jiang Shuiyun was looking for a wine glass, she felt a weight on her shoulder. Yi Jinbai leaned against her.
Jiang Shuiyun put her arm around Yi Jinbai's shoulder to help her steady herself. Her gaze fell on the drink Yi Jinbai had been drinking all day. Wasn't that her own wine glass?
"Jin Bai?"

Chapter 21
Jiang Shuiyun shook Yi Jinbai, who was leaning against her. Yi Jinbai swayed and raised his head, looking at Jiang Shuiyun with unfocused eyes. He tilted his head, seemingly puzzled.
It seemed he was really drunk. Jiang Shuiyun glanced at the time, said goodbye to Xi Rong, and went back with Yi Jinbai. They happened to run into Shen Yunyi, who had just finished making a phone call, in the corridor.
"What's wrong, Miss Yi?"
Shen Yunyi was startled to see Yi Jinbai, who was being held in Jiang Shuiyun's arms and was in a daze.
"We got drunk because we grabbed the wrong cup, so we're heading back now. You guys keep having fun."
Jiang Shuiyun began to explain.
"Okay, I'll take you back. I also have something to do and need to go back to the company."
Shen Yunyi knew he had driven there and hadn't been drinking, so he was going back with Jiang Shuiyun and the others.
