Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 284 Celebration Banquet

Arriving on the second floor, Shen Qianhe gently pushed open the half-open door and saw Aunt Liu squatting on the ground, folding clothes one by one and putting them neatly into the open suitcase.

The light in the room was a little dim, and there was a faint smell of camphor in the air.

Hearing the footsteps, Aunt Liu raised her head, a look of surprise flashed across her face, then she put down the clothes in her hands and stood up.

"Ms. Qianzuru, why did you come back suddenly?"

Shen Qianhe leaned against the door, his eyes swept across the room calmly, finally landing on Aunt Liu's slightly embarrassed face.

"I'm here to pick up what I asked you to collect earlier."

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then she patted her forehead and revealed a look of sudden realization: "Oh! Look at my memory, I have put away all the things!"

She turned and walked to the bed, bent down and rummaged in the compartment of the suitcase for a while, took out a small package tightly wrapped in old newspapers, and handed it to Shen Qianhe.

Shen Qianhe took the package, gently lifted a corner of the newspaper with his fingertips, confirmed that the miniature recorder was intact, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Thanks."

She paused, her eyes falling on Aunt Liu's half-packed suitcase, "Aunt Liu, are you planning to go back home?"

"Yes, the Shen family is in this state now, and I can't stay here any longer. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so I want to go back and take care of her."

Shen Qianhe took out a check from her handbag and gently placed it on the bedside table.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. I will transfer another sum of money to your account tomorrow. You can live in peace in your hometown in the future."

Aunt Liu paused for a moment, and when she raised her head, her eyes were red: "This... How can this be possible..."

Her voice was a little choked up. "Ms. Qianzuru, I have always felt guilty about what happened last time. Now that you have finally achieved your wish, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart. As for the money, I have saved some over the years, which is enough."

"This money is your hush money. When you go back, just pretend that everything that happened here never happened, okay?"

Aunt Liu looked into Shen Qianhe's calm yet deep eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

"it is good."

......

When Shen Qianhe left the Shen family, the sun had just set.

The sunset glow dyed half the sky red, and the orange-red light sprinkled outside her car window, making her profile soft and warm.

She was in a good mood today and was just about to call Gu Wanwan to find a place to have a drink when Gu Wanwan called her first.

"Chizuru baby, where are you?"

Gu Wanwan's voice came from the other end of the phone, with her usual liveliness and excitement.

Shen Qianhe held the steering wheel with one hand and clicked the call button on the screen: "I went to Shen's house to get something and I'm on my way back now."

"Oh, what are you going back for?"

Gu Wanwan's voice suddenly rose an octave, "It's just right that you're coming to Jiefang Road. Song Yubai and the others are going to hold a celebration banquet for Xie Jincheng!"

"Celebration party?"

"Yes! You've seen the news, right? Your boss Xie really made a killing this time. I was so excited just by listening to Song Yubai's words!"

Gu Wanwan's voice was full of excitement. "Song Yubai and I are already here. He Yang and Shi Yue just got here too. The others will be here soon."

"Okay, I understand. Um... is Xie Jincheng here?"

"Not yet. He said he would come with Zhao Zechuan in a while. You should come quickly too. Don't dawdle!"

After hanging up the phone, she reset the navigation and drove towards Tingxi Club.

The scenery outside the car window quickly receded, and the neon lights of the city gradually lit up.

The car slowly drove into Jiefang Road, and the sign of Tingxi Club was particularly eye-catching in the night.

Shen Qianhe parked the car and walked into the clubhouse in high heels.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Gu Wanwan's voice coming from a distance, with her usual liveliness and excitement: "Baby Qianhe! Over here!"

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Wanwan standing at the door of the box, waving at her.

Shen Qianhe walked over, and Gu Wanwan took her arm and said with a smile: "You are finally here, everyone is waiting for you!"

Shen Qianhe smiled and followed Gu Wanwan into the box.

The lights in the box are soft, the air is filled with the faint smell of wine and tobacco, mixed with soft background music, lazy and comfortable,

Song Yubai was sitting on the sofa with a glass of red wine in her hand. When she saw Shen Qianhe come in, she nodded at her.

He Yang and Shi Yue were sitting aside, talking in low voices. When they saw her coming, they looked up and greeted her.

Shen Qianhe's eyes swept around the box and finally fell on Xie Jincheng who was sitting in the middle of the sofa.

He crossed his legs and held a cigarette in his hand.

The long legs are crossed, and the posture is lazy and casual.

Two buttons on the collar of the burgundy shirt were casually undone, revealing a faint trace of the collarbone.

His eyes swept across the door indifferently, and when he saw Shen Qianhe, his eyes paused slightly.

In the smoke, the stern profile was tinged with charm.

"Chizuru, come and sit down!"

Gu Wanwan pulled her to sit on the sofa beside her, picked up a glass of champagne from the table and handed it to Shen Qianhe.

Shen Qianhe took the wine glass and took a sip. The sweet and bitter taste of the wine instantly spread across his tongue.

His eyes unconsciously drifted to Xie Jincheng standing aside.

He was still sitting there, his burgundy shirt standing out particularly well under the soft light.

He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of him, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and looked in the direction of Shen Qianhe.

The two men looked at each other.

Shen Qianhe couldn't help but think of the scene this morning...

"Xie Jincheng, you have recovered your memory, right?"

The man stared at her with a dim look for a moment, "No."

"No?"

Shen Qianhe's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze slightly.

"Then why are you so nice to me all of a sudden? Didn't you hate physical contact with others before? You lied to me, didn't you?"

Xie Jincheng's gaze fell on her face, his eyes were deep but no emotion could be seen.

"The reason why I treat you well is because..."

He was silent for a few seconds before he slowly spoke: "It's because of our prenuptial agreement. I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you some time ago because of the company's affairs. I won't do that again in the future."

"Just, just because of the agreement..."
