Chapter 69: Continuing to Court Death (1)

Walking in on that scene, Ms. Li quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed the beer away from Su Ziqian in horror. She exclaimed, “Oh, my G.o.d! What is wrong with you? You have an ad to shoot tomorrow! Drinking this much is going to make your face puffy and swollen in the morning! How are you going to go on camera in that state?”

Unhappily, Su Ziqian whined back at her, “Stop controlling me! Give me back my beer!” As she spoke, she stumbled up to s.n.a.t.c.h the bottle back.

Ms. Li swiftly motioned for the server to come and remove the bottles of alcohol. Next, she coaxed Su Ziqian into following her to the washroom and succeeded in cleaning her face for her. Only when Su Ziqian had finally sobered up a little, did she bring her back to the private room.

Ms. Li stood and stared at Su Ziqian lying limply on the couch. With a harsh frown, she asked, “What on earth are you doing? Didn’t you just get signed on as the spokesperson for the Gu Corporation? Plus, Mr. Gu has already proposed to you! You should be happy that you’re flouris.h.i.+ng in both your career and your love life! Why are you trying to drink yourself into oblivion?”

“Proposed?”

Su Ziqian repeated the word and suddenly began to spill about everything. “Who the h.e.l.l proposed to me? No one! Gu Yu didn’t propose at all! There was no proposal!”

That outburst shocked Ms. Li to the core. That afternoon, onstage at the mall, Su Ziqian had acknowledged her relations.h.i.+p with Mr. Gu and had even publicly displayed a diamond ring! That equated to an implicit announcement that he had proposed to her!

Intending to strike while the iron was still hot, Ms. Li had taken the initiative to contact several media outlets so they could publicize the story!

“Oh, my goodness! What exactly are you saying? Are you telling me that Mr. Gu never proposed to you? Where did that ring come from?”

“Are you talking about this?” Su Ziqian raised her hand and looked at the sparkling diamond on her finger. With a sad, mocking smile, she replied, “I bought this for myself, using my own money!”

“…Are you crazy? So Mr. Gu didn’t propose to you, and that was all a show?”
