The man suddenly smiled, and Yan Xi immediately became vigilant, staring at him intently. She asked, "What are you smiling about?"
"Miss Yan, you are actually very much like Fu Yan Ting."
Yan Xi didn't think she had any resemblance to Fu Yan Ting at all.
One had single eyelids, the other double. One was dark-skinned, the other had skin that glowed white.
This man must have eye problems to say she was like Fu Yan Ting.
Yan Xi ignored him.
The other party seemed to have sensed what Yan Xi was thinking. He suddenly chuckled and explained, "Miss Yan, you've misunderstood. When I say you're like Fu Yan Ting, I don't mean your appearances are similar. I mean your personalities and ways of handling things are alike, both of you are calm and collected."
Yan Xi sized him up, then after a long pause, she said faintly, "Is this a compliment? Should I say thank you?"
The other party naturally understood the implied sarcasm in Yan Xi's words. Instead of getting angry, he was quite pleased.
He smiled faintly.
Suddenly, changing the subject, he asked, "Miss Yan, aren't you afraid I'll keep you here under house arrest?"
"There are people everywhere. I told you, so many eyes are watching. Plus, there are surveillance cameras. If you're not afraid of death, you can continue to take me away and imprison them me. But I have to remind you, Fu Yan Ting is not someone to be trifled with. You can bear the consequences if you can."
The man hadn't expected Yan Xi to speak at such length. He was stunned, then reacted, looking at Yan Xi and bursting into laughter.
Yan Xi couldn't help but frown and asked indifferently, "What are you laughing at?"
"I told you, you're very much like Fu Yan Ting. You both can remain calm when facing problems. Miss Yan, rest assured, I won't take you away from here."
After saying this, as if afraid Yan Xi would misunderstand, he quickly added, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not afraid of Fu Yan Ting. It's just that I don't deign to use the same trick twice. So, you can relax."
Yan Xi raised an eyebrow. If that was the case, why was he still pestering her?
"Those few people just insulted you. How do you want to deal with them? I'll help you."
"No need. They didn't gain anything, and besides, it's the Fu Group's annual party today. I don't want any trouble."
Yan Xi finished speaking and left without looking back.
The man stared at Yan Xi's retreating figure. After she had completely disappeared, he looked at the group of girls, his eyes extremely fierce and venomous.
The girls didn't know what the man's relationship with Yan Xi was, but from their conversation just now, it seemed they were quite familiar.
That bitch Yan Xi, already having a man, still wanted to seduce their CEO, thinking she could climb the social ladder.
The girls' hatred for Yan Xi intensified.
Yan Xi walked back into the crowd. Fu Yan Ting was also looking for her. Upon seeing her, he asked, "Where did you go?"
Yan Xi didn't want anyone to know that the man had appeared. Most importantly, she didn't want Fu Yan Ting to be distracted by dealing with him.
So, when Fu Yan Ting asked her this question, Yan Xi replied indifferently, "Nowhere. Just strolling around nearby."
Seeing Yan Xi's calm expression, which didn't seem like she was lying, Fu Yan Ting believed her.
Yan Xi also had no reason to lie to Fu Yan Ting.
Therefore, Fu Yan Ting didn't probe further.
He glanced at Yan Xi, who seemed dispirited, and asked, "Are you bored?"
Indeed, she was very bored.
Why did Fu Yan Ting's company still have women like these? They had diplomas but acted like idiots.
Yan Xi nodded. She was indeed bored.
Especially after seeing that man, Yan Xi felt even more bored.
Yan Xi didn't want Fu Yan Ting to have a direct confrontation with anyone. She didn't know what the man's relationship with Fu Yan Ting was.
Yan Xi had been investigating this matter, but she didn't want Fu Yan Ting to know about it. The main reason was that she didn't want Fu Yan Ting to worry on her behalf.
Therefore, Yan Xi didn't really want to stay here anymore.
Fu Yan Ting understood Yan Xi. He said, "I'll take you away."
"Can you leave?"
This was the Fu Group's annual party. As the CEO of the Fu Group, shouldn't Fu Yan Ting stay until the end?
Fu Yan Ting pursed his lips. He didn't have to come in the first place. If it wasn't to let those paparazzi know about his relationship with Yan Xi, and his purpose was to bring Yan Xi to such an event, he wouldn't have attended at all.
So, when Yan Xi asked him this question, Fu Yan Ting nodded and said, "I'm not interested in this kind of event either. If it weren't to shut Fu Wen Hai up, I wouldn't have come."
"But the party is only one-third of the way through. If you leave now, your uncle will still say something."
"Say something about me?"
Fu Yan Ting seemed to have heard a very funny joke. He replied faintly, "He doesn't have the right yet."
Alright, since that was the case, Yan Xi wouldn't be polite and let Fu Yan Ting take her away.
They had only walked a few steps hand in hand when suddenly, there was a commotion from behind.
Yan Xi felt a sense of unease. She looked up at Fu Yan Ting and saw that he was also frowning deeply.
Yan Xi asked, "Did something happen?"
"I'm not sure. I'll send Shen Hao Lin to check."
Fu Yan Ting finished speaking and was about to call Shen Hao Lin.
Yan Xi stopped him. She looked at Fu Yan Ting and said, "No matter what, you still have to be responsible for their safety. Let's go, we'll see what happened."
"But you don't like this kind of event, and wearing high heels must be tiring. I'll take you away first. Shen Hao Lin can handle things here. At most, after sending you back, I'll come back."
"No need. Since we're here, let's not make a fuss. We'll leave together when it's over."
Yan Xi thought to herself, you know I don't like this kind of event, and you know my high heels are tiring.
Then why did you insist on having me come in the first place?
Yan Xi knew why Fu Yan Ting wanted her to attend, so she only dared to voice this complaint in her heart.
In front of Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi was still obedient and did not complain.
The two walked forward, and a crowd had already gathered.
"What happened?"
Fu Yan Ting asked coldly.
Hearing Fu Yan Ting's voice, the employees quickly made way for him. Fu Yan Ting stepped forward and saw several female employees from the company's foreign trade department lying on the ground. They had no visible injuries, and their clothes were intact, but they were lying there with pale faces.
Fu Yan Ting's intuition told him that this matter was not simple.
Upon seeing the few girls, Yan Xi's face changed drastically. She took several steps back, and her stomach churned. Yan Xi struggled to control herself to avoid vomiting.
