The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 217 Who sent you?

"He Zhao, it's okay." Ning Xi held He Zhao's arm comfortingly.

Hearing this, He Zhao rolled his eyes at Mr. Zhao angrily before retreating to Ning Xi's side.

"Young Master He, Mr. Ning and I have a cooperative relationship after all. We just came here to propose a toast."

After all, Mr. Zhao was wary of He Zhao, and his attitude was much more polite than before.

Ning Xi glanced coldly at Mr. Zhao's greasy and bloated face, knowing that him coming over to toast was not as simple as she said.

"Mr. Zhao, I respect you." She simply raised her glass on her own initiative.

The slender hands as white as jade looked as pure and flawless as mutton-fat jade against the backdrop of the crystal cup.

Mr. Zhao's greedy eyes rested on Ning Xi's hand, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then he put the wine glass in his hand up.

With a crisp sound, Mr. Zhao drank the wine in the glass, but Ning Xi only took a shallow sip.

Before Mr. Zhao could speak again, she took the lead in saying sorry, turned around and walked towards another group of people.

He Zhao rolled his eyes at Mr. Zhao and followed Ning Xi's footsteps.

Mr. Zhao's smile quickly froze on his face, and he squeezed the wine glass with his thick hands.

"Nmd! Damn girl's movie! It's just relying on Mr. He's support, what's so crazy about it!"

The man thought sadly, but his eyes were fixed on Ning Xi's slender and graceful back.

How much beauty is enough to be great?

Aren't you just a bitch? Sooner or later you will all be mine!

Mr. Zhao cursed in a low voice and walked to the bar next to him. There were several of his friends there. When they saw Mr. Zhao, they immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Mr. Zhao, who is that little beauty? She is really pretty!"

"A secretary of the Wen family thinks she is so great just because Mr. He dotes on her! Bah!"

The man spat with disdain, but unfortunately his salivating expression betrayed him.

"Mr. Zhao is attracted to me!" A man with a skinny monkey look poked at Mr. Zhao with a playful smile: "I'm afraid you don't have the ability tonight!"

Laughter kept coming, and Mr. Zhao blushed and bit his back teeth: "Nonsense! That's because I don't like it! I can't find a lot of women like this!"

Everyone laughed even louder after hearing this, and one of them was even more rude and directly exposed Mr. Zhao's background: "I am the person that Mr. He likes! With your virtue, I think a toad wants to eat swan meat!"

Amid everyone's ridicule and jeers, Mr. Zhao's face became more and more gloomy.

On the other side, He Zhao looked at the messy reception scene, always feeling a little uneasy.

While Ning Xi had just negotiated the layout of the park with a developer, he hurriedly walked over.

"Xiao Xi, it's getting late. Do you want to go back and rest first?"

He Zhao's solemn and concerned eyes made Ning Xi's heart feel warm.

To be fair, she didn't like situations where people drank and drank, and there were endless pleasantries.

But this cooperation is very important to her uncle and the Wen family, and she can't let go of every opportunity.

"If you still have something to do, you can go back first."

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant, I was just worried-"

He Zhao hurriedly denied it and glanced at the corner of the venue: "That person surnamed Zhao hasn't left yet. He has always been there."

Following He Zhao's gaze, Ning Xi saw the drunk Mr. Zhao drinking one cup after another.

"It's okay. He shouldn't dare to act rashly in public."

As she spoke, Ning Xi took a plate of fruit from Assistant Zhou and ate a few pieces. She had been persuaded to drink more, so she drank more.

At this moment, her fair face was pink and charming, and her eyes were watery, adding a bit of charm to her.

Although He Zhao was worried, he still swallowed his worried words.

He was looking for an opportunity to continue to persuade Ning Xi, but unexpectedly he was pushed hard from behind.

He Zhao's body tilted and the wine glass in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"What happened!" He turned around angrily and saw a waiter with a terrified face. The tray in his hand was in a mess and many wine glasses had been overturned.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, sir, I was careless!"

The waiter bowed and apologized repeatedly. He Zhao felt that his back was wet and uncomfortable. It had been stained by the drink just now.

Ning Xi helped him take off his coat, but unfortunately the shirt underneath was stained.

"Master He, why don't you go to our VIP room and change your clothes first."

At this time, the hotel manager also came over to smooth things over. He Zhao could only nod reluctantly and follow the waiter to leave the reception.

What he didn't know was that not far from them, a pair of narrow eyes were staring at Ning Xi coldly...

After about half an hour, Ning Xi was surprised to find that He Zhao hadn't come back yet, Secretary Zhang and Assistant Zhou were also missing, and Wang Sen had already made several partners half drunk.

Oops!

Her heart sank, and before she could react, a waiter ran over panting.

"Miss Ning, are you Miss Ning? Mr. He! Something happened to him!"

"What! What happened to him?" Ning Xi asked hurriedly.

The waiter calmed down and said urgently: "Young Master He passed out in the VIP lounge. You'd better go over and have a look!"

Thinking of He Zhao's attentive care for her throughout the day, Ning Xi hurriedly followed the waiter towards the lounge without having time to think too much.

Walking through a winding corridor, the sound behind me became farther and farther away, and the surroundings became quiet.

Ning Xi looked at the waiter's back, and questions suddenly ran through her mind.

She stopped suddenly, and the waiter noticed her immediately and stopped too.

"Miss Ning, leave quickly! Young Master He's life will be in danger if it's too late!"

"Who sent you? He Zhao is fine at all, right?"

Ning Xi asked coldly, while looking at the waiter with cold and sharp eyes.

The waiter looked away and hesitated: "I'm just here to convey a message. I don't know the specific situation."

"Then if you don't call an ambulance first, what are you doing to me?"

Seeing that Ning Xi refused to leave, the waiter also became anxious: "Miss Ning, Mr. He is your friend, you can't just die without saving him!"

His eyes looked back furtively, and Ning Xi suddenly felt bad.

But it was too late, a big hand suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind, and the strong breath made her dizzy.

Ning Xi hurriedly held her breath and struggled desperately, but the man behind her was too strong and she couldn't struggle, and her vision began to turn black.

A harsh, sinister laugh appeared, followed by her cheek being pinched.

"Stinky girl! Are you still thinking of escaping from my grasp?"

It’s clearly Mr. Zhao’s voice!

Ning Xi became furious, opened her mouth and bit hard. With a pitiful howl, Mr. Zhao's palm was already dripping with blood.

"Bitch!" Mr. Zhao ignored the pain and slapped Ning Xi hard on the cheek with his backhand.

Just when he was feeling proud, he heard a plop, and the strong man who was holding Ning Xi fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

And Mr. Zhao also has a shining silver needle on the back of his hand...
