Mrs. Wang was outside listening to Huo Mei Shu's earth-shattering cries, frantically pacing back and forth, until she finally called Lu Nianzhi.
Lu Nianzhi came over after receiving the call. Of course, she knew about the situation between Huo Mei Shu and Gu Chengyan. However, she was also dealing with a mess on her end and had no energy to give Huo Mei Shu advice.
Unexpectedly, the poor girl, who had been holding on for so many days, finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Mrs. Wang, how is Mei Shu doing?"
"She's crying her heart out in her room. I don't know how to console her, so I had to call you, Miss Lu, to come over."
"I'll go check on her. It's alright, you and Uncle Li should go rest early."
Lu Nianzhi took the room key from Mrs. Wang and went upstairs to see Huo Mei Shu after a brief reminder.
"Mei Shu?"
As soon as she entered the room, she could hear Huo Mei Shu's heart-wrenching sobs, which made her feel sorry for her.
They were both silly women, so stubborn.
Huo Mei Shu heard someone come in and opened her swollen red eyes to look at Lu Nianzhi. "Sister Nian Zhi, why are you here?"
She cried so bitterly that her tears and mucus had mixed together.
Lu Nianzhi felt pity and helplessness as she handed Huo Mei Shu some tissues to wipe her tears.
"What's going on?"
If she hadn't asked, it would have been fine, but as soon as she did, Huo Mei Shu couldn't hold back and burst into loud wails again!
"He... he went too far!"
After crying for a while until she couldn't cry anymore, her eyes hurt terribly. Huo Mei Shu took out her phone and showed Lu Nianzhi some photos.
The other person had sent several more afterwards, but Huo Mei Shu was too absorbed in her crying to notice them.
Lu Nianzhi was also overwhelmed. Her own love life hadn't been sorted out either, and she was almost driven crazy by Xu Chuan and Ling Yan during this period!
She had been making frequent mistakes at work. If it weren't for Sister Jing keeping an eye on her, she wouldn't have been able to account for anything when Rong Dai returned.
"Do you want to go for a drink?"
"Yes!"
Huo Mei Shu nodded fiercely, wiping away her snot and tears with her hand, and bounced off the bed to change her clothes and put on makeup.
"Sister Nian Zhi, is this place safe?"
Although Huo Mei Shu loved to have fun, she had never been to places like nightclubs, so she was a bit apprehensive when they reached the entrance.
Thinking about how her own mother had gotten into trouble because of drinking, she hesitated again.
Lu Nianzhi knew her concerns and patted her hand reassuringly. "This place is owned by my friend. There won't be any trouble."
They say that women who have failed in love can drink the most. Despite being inexperienced drinkers, these two ordered a whole table of drinks and downed them one after another.
In less than half an hour, they were both completely wasted, sprawled on the table like limp shrimps, mumbling nonsense from their mouths.
When You Wen saw the two in such a state, she knew a bit about Lu Nianzhi's situation, but what was going on with this young lady from the Huo family?
Seeing that they were both drunk, You Wen had no choice but to ask someone to carry them upstairs to her room to rest.
Lu Nianzhi was relatively better, only shouting a few words before calming down.
But Huo Mei Shu threw a tantrum!
"Don't touch me! I'm not drunk!"
"If anyone touches me, I'll... I'll smash your head!"
She could barely stand, yet she still wanted to grab a liquor bottle, looking ferocious and menacing.
"Sis You Wen, there's no way to handle this."
A few bodyguards had already been scratched by her and were afraid of the liquor bottle in Huo Mei Shu's hand. No one wanted to be hit by that.
You Wen frowned and had to ask Lu Nianzhi, but the intoxicated Lu Nianzhi only mumbled a few words: "Find... find Gu Chengyan... don't bother me."
You Wen was both annoyed and amused. Although she wasn't a big shot, she knew this Gu Chengyan.
Without hesitation, You Wen made the call.
