Chapter 431: 431, please get into the jar
The man was dressed in a black suit, but due to the effects of the drug, he was now lying there, seemingly very uncomfortable.
Qu Yunyao pinched her fingers and slowly walked over.
“Brother-in-law?”
Xiao Yebai lay there, not uttering a word.
“Are you drunk?” Qu Yunyao lifted her hand, placing it on Xiao Yebai’s shoulder.
The man still did not speak, but neither did he resist.
This medicine would cause dizziness, grogginess, and even hallucinations.
This was the elaborate plan of Qu Yunyao as the goal today was to let everyone discover them here!
She leaned down, roughly ripping open the collar, about to grasp the man’s hand…
But the man suddenly turned around and embraced her.
Qu Yunyao was somewhat taken aback.
Could this medicine be more potent than the medicine she had bought previously?
Or did he mistake her for Mo Weiyi?
Remembering Xu Rui saying he was going to call Mo Weiyi earlier…
That must be it.
Qu Yunyao was instantly thrilled.
Excitement caused her to overlook many details.
She slowly closed her eyes…
It was the back garden, outdoors and a deep night in January, the temperature was very low, and it was very cold.
It had been more than three months since the last time in Haicheng, a moment of hesitation flashed through her mind.
She was now pregnant, she couldn’t afford any mishap, let alone take such risks.
And later on, Xu Rui would call everyone from the banquet hall, many journalists were present today, if they take pictures…
No!
She cannot afford such a scandal!
What on earth was she doing now?
Did she lose her mind?
Qu Yunyao came to her senses, immediately raised her hand to push him away, “No… ”
But the man’s voice suddenly rang out, “What do you mean no? Baby, do you forget me so soon?”
Hearing this vulgar yet somehow familiar voice, Qu Yunyao’s eyes widened sharply.
In the dim light, she finally recognized the man’s fat face.
It was actually Zhang Dechang!
How could it be him?
Qu Yunyao was so shocked that she felt as if she had been doused with cold water from head to toe.
She struggled hard and shouted, “Let me go, you bastard…”
But why would the man release her now?
He chuckled and said, “It’s been three months since we last saw each other, I’ve missed you terribly. Rest assured, no one will come over here ha ha ha ha…”

The banquet hall was currently both lavish and boisterous. As the party heated up, the waiters began serving food.
The food carts continued along the corridor, when passing by the back garden, someone suddenly heard a strange noise.
The waiters exchanged glances before quickly pushing the food cart away.
They knew certain adults liked to seek stimulation in private, but today was the Mo Group’s anniversary. The guests were reputable individuals from Nancheng, here they are, having an illicit rendezvous in the back garden?
“So shameless!”
“Indeed, aren’t they afraid of being discovered?”
“Should we go and tell the manager?”
“So many journalists are here today, it’s going to be so embarrassing if they get photographed!”
“If they don’t care about their reputation in the first place, why fear about being disgraced?”
A few people hesitated for a moment while the noises from that area became louder.
As for Xu Rui, his original plan was to call everyone in the garden to catch them 10 minutes later, but going by himself would arouse suspicion.
After all, Qu Yunyao was his fiancée, no one would call others to catch his fiancée, right?
Not to mention that Xiao Yebai having an affair with his future sister-in-law and getting caught on the day of the Mo Group’s anniversary, losing face to such a degree. If the Mo family investigates later, he, the informant, wouldn’t be able to escape blame.
Mind you, considering Qu Yunyao had already had an incident with Xiao Yebai before, having one more wouldn’t make any difference for him.
Yes.
Xu Rui now held no feelings for Qu Yunyao.
In the past, he had felt that Qu Yunyao was inherently conservative and young, and so, he had never touched her.
But ever since Qu Yunyao started having an affair with Xiao Yebai, his feelings for her changed completely.
No man likes to be cuckolded, even if the woman is only his fiancée in name.
Why not let someone else do the dirty work?
So he returned to the banquet hall, made a round, and came back quickly, standing in the hallway, waiting for the whispered conversations of the waitstaff to reach his ears. Pretending to be curious, he asked, “What are you discussing?”
The waitstaff were startled and looked at him, not daring to speak.
Xu Rui feigned to listen for a moment, then immediately said, “What are you all standing around for, hurry up and get someone from the hall!”
The waitstaff were even more astonished.
Get someone?
Are you sure?
“Hurry up! Can’t you hear that woman screaming for help? What if something happens to her?” Xu Rui shouted fiercely.
After listening carefully, the staff realized it was indeed so.
It really did sound like the woman was repeatedly crying for help – something was wrong!
So they hurriedly ran to the banquet hall for help.
Xu Rui turned around, but hid himself in a discreet spot.
From the garden, the sound of Qu Yunyao’s screams for help drifted into his ears, each one more chilling and desperate than the last.

About five minutes later, the neatly dressed lobby manager led several security personnel, all holding flashlights, and rushed out.
Such matters tend to leak out easily. Nobody knew who’d slipped, but swarm after swarm of journalists chased behind them into the garden like locusts.
Xu Rui quickly stepped out and followed the crowd to see what was happening.
“Ah! Don’t take pictures, get away! Don’t take pictures…!” Qu Yunyao’s voice rang out hysterically.
But the journalists didn’t care; they aimed their cameras at the two people on the bench and snapped away.
Their flashlights were incessantly flashing.
The banquet guests were also incessantly filming with their phones. Some had even opened up a live streaming platform to broadcast the event.
Qu Yunyao’s cries were so loud that it quickly stirred all the people in the banquet hall.
While Shi Huan was in amazement, someone suddenly gripped her hand.
Chu Xiuhuang smiled slyly at her, “Little Huanhuan, let’s go. Let’s watch the fun with the boss.”
Shi Huan: “…”
Could she not go?
Seeing Shi Huan being led away to watch the fun, Su Wanwan also rose to her feet but was grabbed by Huo Jingshen.
“What are you doing?” Su Wanwan was almost in tears.
“Did you not get enough from the last experience a few days ago?”
Su Wanwan paused, only then realizing he was referring to the incident that had happened at the club recently when Xia Jiani was caught in the restroom.
But…
Even Mo Weiyi has gone to see what’s happening!
Looking pitiful, Su Wanwan begged, “Can I just take a look, just one glance?”
Seeing the empty banquet hall, Huo Jingshen relented, “Let’s go home.”
“…” Su Wanwan was on the verge of tears.
Could she not go home?
She also wants to watch the fun!

In the garden, the reporters were going wild.
It was the Mo Group’s anniversary today. As reporters, their jobs were supposed to be just a walk in the park, with easy money at the end of it. No one expected such a juicy incident to crop up right at the end of the event – it was an unexpected bonus!
The reporters jostled in front while guests encircled them from outside, forming several layers.
Mo Weiyi couldn’t get to the front and was getting anxious. Suddenly, Xu Rui’s voice boomed, “Isn’t that Mr. Xiao?”
His words stunned everyone around.
Mr. Xiao?
Xiao Yebai?
Oh my God, this is big news!
Mo Weiyi’s face instantly darkened. “What nonsense are you talking about?” she asked.
Xu Rui swallowed nervously, explaining, “I was just having a drink and discussing business with Mr. Xiao here. I had to leave first because I received a phone call, but Mr. Xiao didn’t return…”
He didn’t finish the rest of his sentence.
But such a suggestive hint was more inclined to induce speculation.
