After I died, they cried in the live studio

However, the mother snorted disapprovingly and patted Sang Jiuyue on the shoulder. Her eyes revealed a kind of blind confidence and said, "Daughter, you're not bad either. In terms of appearance and family background, how can you not compare to Sang Shuwan? As long as you put in some effort, create some opportunities, and show your charm in front of Jiang Cimu, I don't believe he won't be moved. This is a good opportunity for us to turn things around, we must not miss it." There was a crazy light flashing in the mother's eyes, as if she had seen the scene of Sang Jiuyue successfully taking down Jiang Cimu and Sang Shuwan in a miserable state. Sang Jiuyue stood aside with mixed feelings in her heart. She was tempted by the bright prospects described by her mother, but also felt a little confused and fearful about this seemingly difficult task. However, under her mother's constant persuasion, her eyes gradually became firm, as if she had made up her mind to fight for this man who could change her destiny, even if she had to fight Sang Shuwan to the death.

In a hidden corner of the venue, the lights were dim and the surrounding noise seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. Sang Jiuyue frowned, with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness on his face about his mother's suggestion.

Her mother's eyes flashed with calculation, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile. She raised her hand and gently patted Sang Jiuyue's shoulder, trying to calm her down and said, "Daughter, don't worry, I have arranged everything. I have spent a lot of money to find someone to get Sang Shuwan away, and that girl won't come to bother you." The mother's voice was low but full of confidence, and every word was like a reassurance, trying to make Sang Jiuyue believe that her plan was foolproof.

Then, the mother took out a room card from her exquisite handbag and stuffed it into Sang Jiuyue's hand, her eyes revealing an unquestionable commanding tone: "Take it, this is the room card of the VIP reception room. After Sang Shuwan is sent away, you can go directly there to meet Mr. Jiang Cimu. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must seize it, show your charm, and let Jiang Cimu fall at your feet. As long as we can win him over, we will not only be able to gain a firm foothold in the Sang family, but also make those who once laughed at us shut up." As the mother spoke, she gestured with her hands, as if she had seen a bright future unfolding before her eyes.

Sang Jiuyue held the room card, her fingers trembling slightly. She was nervous and looking forward to meeting Jiang Cimu, but also felt a little guilty and uneasy about this improper means. But under her mother's eager gaze, she gritted her teeth, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Mom, I know, I will try my best." Although her voice was not loud, it revealed a determination to fight to the death. Seeing this, her mother smiled with satisfaction, and after a few more instructions, she took Sang Jiuyue to the direction of the VIP reception room. The figures of the two gradually disappeared in the dim corridor, leaving only a silence full of conspiracy.

The lights in the venue were staggered, reflecting the fake or sincere smiles on people's faces. Sang Jiuyue stood in a corner, staring at Sang Shuwan and Jiang Cimu not far away. Jiang Cimu had an upright posture and outstanding temperament, and his every move showed elegance and calmness. Sang Shuwan standing next to him also had a different kind of confidence and brilliance. The two of them standing together were like a pleasing painting.

Seeing this scene, Sang Jiuyue couldn't help but feel a surge of bitterness and jealousy in her heart. She unconsciously clenched her hands at her side, her nails digging deep into her palms, causing a stinging pain, as if this could ease her inner uneasiness and anxiety. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her disordered breathing and pounding heart, with a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"No, I can't just give up like this." Sang Jiuyue whispered secretly in her heart, as if to cheer herself up. She bit her lips until they turned white, as if she had made a great determination. Then, she raised her chin slightly, straightened her chest, and walked towards Sang Shuwan and Jiang Cimu with seemingly firm but slightly stiff steps. With every step she took, the tension in her heart became stronger, but the desire driven by jealousy and unwillingness also swelled, making her move towards the set goal regardless of everything, even though she knew that what she was about to do might trigger an unpredictable storm, she was unwilling to retreat at this moment, because in her heart, getting Jiang Cimu meant defeating Sang Shuwan, and meant regaining her status and dignity in the Sang family and even in this circle, even if the way to obtain this dignity might not be glorious.

Inside the venue, lights flickered, music played, and the people dressed in fine clothes were all bustling and lively, but Sang Shuwan had no intention of appreciating all this. She stood beside Jiang Cimu, looking around vigilantly, with a vague sense of uneasiness in her heart.

Suddenly, she saw several people with strange expressions squeezed towards them. Their eyes were evasive but they were also persistent. They kept looking at Jiang Cimu, which made Sang Shuwan alert instantly. She moved closer to Jiang Cimu, lowered her voice, and said with a bit of certainty and helplessness in her tone: "Cimu, look at those people over there, they are acting sneaky. Is this another trick of Sang Jiuyue? She will do anything to achieve her goals. She has done many tricks before, and she must have no good intentions this time." Jiang Cimu nodded slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and replied softly: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Sang Shuwan quickly searched the crowd and soon locked onto Nancy. She gave Nancy a meaningful look and moved her lips slightly. Although she didn't say anything, her lips were clearly saying, "Nancy, come over and help me." Nancy was talking to someone else and inadvertently raised her eyes and immediately caught Sang Shuwan's hint. She was very smart and immediately understood what he meant. A faint smile appeared on her face, which was cunning and capable.

Nancy turned around gracefully, gently held Alice's arm, and said softly: "Alice, let's go to Shuwan's place, there seems to be something going on." Alice was slightly startled, followed Nancy's gaze to Sang Shuwan, and instantly understood what she meant, then smiled and nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let's go over and take a look."

The two of them walked hand in hand with confident and calm steps, like two elegant white swans, moving lightly among the crowd. The few people arranged by Sang Jiuyue's mother were holding wine glasses in their hands, hesitating whether to step forward to toast. One of them whispered to his companion: "Look, this is Nancy and Alice, they are all important people, do we really have to act according to the plan? If we offend them, it will be difficult for us to get along in the future." Another person looked embarrassed and stammered: "But we have already promised them, it's not good to back down now, right?"

While they were hesitating, Nancy and Alice had already approached. Nancy's eyes were indifferent, but revealed a kind of majesty that could not be ignored. She raised her chin slightly, and said in a low but clear and powerful voice: "Hey, aren't these you guys? Why are you standing here? Is there something wrong?" When the people heard this, their faces were instantly filled with flattering smiles. One of them stammered, "No... nothing, I just saw Miss Sang and Mr. Jiang here, and wanted to come over to toast." Nancy smiled lightly, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her laughter: "Toast? I think you have other purposes, right? Why are you joining in the fun here? Don't you know who you are?" Alice also echoed from the side: "That's right, Shu Wan is our friend, we won't let her be disturbed by inexplicable people."

The faces of the people turned red, and they stood there awkwardly, neither going forward nor retreating. The leader complained inwardly, "What should I do? I thought I could complete the task smoothly, but someone unexpectedly showed up. How dare we offend Nancy and Alice? If they hold a grudge against us because of this, we will have no place to stand in this circle in the future." Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "Since Miss Nancy and Miss Alice are here, we won't bother them. Let's go first." After that, the people turned around in a hurry and left in disgrace, their steps were so flustered that they almost bumped into the people next to them.

Sang Shuwan watched them leave and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling grateful to Nancy and Alice. She knew how rare it was to have such a group of sincere friends in such a complicated situation, and this little storm was just a small episode in her life full of thorns.

In the garden of the banquet hall, there are colorful flowers swaying gently in the breeze, exuding bursts of sweet fragrance, which interweaves with the melodious music coming from the banquet hall not far away, creating a unique atmosphere. A corner of the garden has been carefully arranged as a check-in point, with warm lights scattered in an orderly manner, reflecting the surroundings like a dream.

Sang Shuwan, Jiang Cimu, Nancy and Alice walked slowly along the path in the garden and found a quiet place with beautiful scenery to sit down. They still had the look of relaxation after resolving a small crisis. They talked to each other, laughed from time to time, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility and beauty.

On the other side, Sang Jiuyue paced back and forth in the VIP room, her eyes full of anxiety and confusion. She leaned to the door to look, then sat back on the sofa in the room, but soon stood up again, muttering: "What's going on? Why hasn't Jiang Cimu come yet?" Her carefully groomed hair was a little messy at the moment, the strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks, and the gorgeous dress was a little wrinkled because of her anxious movements.

Finally, she could no longer suppress her anxiety, and hurriedly turned around and left the VIP lounge, looking for her mother. At a corner of the garden, she saw her mother talking to a lady with a hypocritical smile on her face. Sang Jiuyue didn't care about being polite, rushed forward, grabbed her mother's arm, pulled her aside, and asked in a hurried and sharp voice: "Mom, what's going on? Why didn't the plan come true? I waited in the VIP lounge for so long, but I didn't even see the shadow of Jiang Cimu. Is it because your people are not doing their job well?" Her eyes were wide open, and there was a flame of anger and unwillingness in her eyes. Her chest was heaving violently, as if it would explode in the next second.

The mother was startled by her sudden action, and a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure. She gently shook off Sang Jiuyue's hand, straightened her clothes, and revealed a hint of blame in her eyes: "Why are you so anxious? How do I know what went wrong? The people I arranged are all reliable. There must be something wrong in the middle." Although the mother's voice was relatively stable, it was difficult to hide the anxiety and doubt in it.

Upon hearing this, Sang Jiuyue became even angrier. She stamped her feet, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Reliable? Now that the person hasn't shown up, how can you talk about reliability? Don't you take this matter seriously at all? Let me tell you how important this opportunity is to me. If I miss it, it will be even harder to get close to Jiang Cimu in the future." Her voice became a little hoarse with excitement, and her eyes were slightly red. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and it seemed that they would burst out at any time.

The mother looked at Sang Jiuyue and felt helpless and annoyed. She frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Keep your voice down. Are you afraid that others will not know our plan by making such a fuss? The most urgent thing now is to find out what happened instead of losing your temper here." As the mother spoke, she looked around, worried that their conversation was overheard by others.

Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but there was still a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, let's go check now. We must find out who ruined my good deeds. I will never let him go easily." After that, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails deeply dug into her palms, as if she was secretly swearing that she must achieve her goal, even if it means anything. Her mother looked at her and sighed softly. The two hurriedly left the garden, ready to explore the truth behind the failure of the plan. At this time, the garden was still quiet and beautiful, as if the storm just now had never happened. Only the slightly swaying flowers seemed to be telling of an unknown farce that had been staged here.

In this dimly lit and seldom visited remote reception room, the atmosphere was oppressive as if a storm was about to come. Sang Jiuyue and her mother stood in the middle anxiously, staring closely at the bribed people in front of them, as if they wanted to use their eyes to force the truth out of their mouths.

Those people stood in a row timidly, with their heads down, not daring to look directly into the angry eyes of Sang Jiuyue and her daughter. One of them spoke first with a trembling voice: "Madam, Miss, we followed your instructions and were almost approaching Mr. Jiang Cimu, but who knew that Miss Nancy and Miss Alice suddenly appeared. Their aura was too strong, and we didn't dare to move forward at all." As he said that, he secretly raised his eyes to glance at the faces of Sang Jiuyue and her daughter, and then quickly lowered his head.

Another person quickly echoed, "Yes, everyone knows Miss Nancy's status in the circle. If we offend her, we will never be able to survive in this industry in the future. Moreover, they seem to have a close relationship with Miss Sang Shuwan, and they directly blocked us back. We really have no choice." His voice was a little tearful, and his hands kept rubbing the corners of his clothes, looking uneasy.

Sang Jiuyue listened to their narration, her face became more and more gloomy, her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness. She took a step forward, clenched her hands into fists, and said with gritted teeth: "You bunch of rubbish! Did I spend so much money to bribe you, just to let you fail at the critical moment? What happened to Nancy and Alice? Can't you think of a way to bypass them?" Her voice became sharp because of anger, echoing in this small reception room, making people shudder.

Sang Jiuyue's mother also had a furious look on her face. She glared at those people fiercely and said coldly: "Humph, do you know how important this opportunity is to us? Just because of your cowardice, everything has gone down the drain. If you don't find a way to make up for it, you can expect our anger." There was a fierceness in her eyes, as if warning them that if they did not atone for their sins, they would be severely punished.

Those people were trembling with fear, and nodded one after another to say that they would try their best to make up for their mistakes, but they also knew in their hearts that the failure of this plan had made Sang Jiuyue and her daughter extremely dissatisfied with them, and it would be difficult to regain their trust. Sang Jiuyue stood there, her chest heaving violently, and her hatred for Sang Shuwan became stronger and stronger. She secretly swore that she would never give up like this, and she must find a new opportunity to take Jiang Cimu away from Sang Shuwan, even if it meant making the whole world her enemy.

After Sang Jiuyue learned about the situation, she was extremely anxious. She didn't even bother to tidy up her messy skirt, and hurriedly pulled her mother towards the garden where the four people were. Her eyes were full of anxiety and unwillingness, as if if she was a step late, everything she wanted would slip away completely.

The mother and daughter walked hurriedly, and the sound of their high heels hitting the ground was particularly crisp in the quiet corridor, as if they were beating the rhythm of their flustered and anxious mood. Along the way, various thoughts kept flashing through Sang Jiuyue's mind, thinking about how to behave when she saw Jiang Cimu later, and how to take him away from Sang Shuwan, and she didn't notice the strange looks from the people around her.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the garden. However, before they stepped into the area full of flowers, a security guard in neat uniform stood out and blocked their way. The security guard had a polite but unquestionable look on her face, and said in a steady tone: "Excuse me, ladies, this is a private area. You cannot enter without permission."

Sang Jiuyue was stunned at first, then a trace of displeasure flashed across her face. She frowned and said anxiously, "What private area? I'm just going in to look for someone. Get out of the way!" As she spoke, she tried to bypass the security guard and walked in. Her eyes were full of anxiety. She wanted to rush to Sang Shuwan and the others immediately to change the situation that was unfavorable to her. However, the security guard did not move at all, still firmly blocking there, and repeated again, "Sorry, ma'am, I can't let you in without the relevant permit. Please understand and cooperate." Her eyes were calm and firm, and she was not shaken by Sang Jiuyue's tough attitude.

Seeing this, Sang Jiuyue's mother hurried forward to smooth things over, smiling and saying as gently as possible: "Little girl, you see we are in a hurry, and there are people waiting for us inside. Please be flexible and we will go in and come out as soon as we find the person." But the security lady still shook her head and said, "This is the rule. Please don't embarrass me."

Sang Jiuyue was so angry that she stamped her feet. She looked at the garden which was so close yet she couldn't enter. The anger in her heart suddenly rose up. But she could do nothing about the security lady in front of her who strictly abided by the rules. She could only stand there and worry. Her eyes, which were originally full of expectations, now became dim and resentful, as if all her plans were completely disrupted by this sudden obstruction, and she fell into deep despair and helplessness.

After Sang Jiuyue was stopped by the security lady, the anxiety in her heart instantly turned into anger. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were wide open, and her chest was heaving violently, as if fire was about to burst out in the next second.

"Hmph, I have a black card, so I still can't get in?" Sang Jiuyue said as she angrily took out the black card from her exquisite handbag, held it high in front of her eyes and shook it. She looked like she was showing off a trump card. She thought that with the symbol of noble status of this card, she would be able to intimidate the ungrateful security lady in front of her and let herself enter the garden smoothly.

Actually, this black card was given to her by Chu Ling before. Chu Ling had been very kind to her in the past, and this black card was given to her as a token of friendship or to show off his affection. But later, for some unknown reason, Chu Ling resolutely cut off all contact with her. Since then, this black card has been automatically blocked and has lost its original effect. It is just a card with nothing but appearance.

But Sang Jiuyue didn't care about all these at the moment. She only wanted to get into the garden as quickly as possible to save the opportunity that was about to slip away completely. That's why she took out the black card that was already useless and tried to use it to break through the obstacle in front of her. She looked so arrogant, as if she was sure that the security lady would immediately give way and let her pass.

The security lady looked at the black card in Sang Jiuyue's hand, still keeping a polite smile on her face, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Ma'am, I'm sorry, even if you have a black card, you still have to follow the regulations here. Without the corresponding permission, I really can't let you in."

When Sang Jiuyue heard this, she was stunned on the spot. The expression on her face instantly became extremely awkward. The hand holding the black card also froze in mid-air. She didn't know whether to go in or put it away. She never expected that the black card that she thought could be of great use was actually useless. Not only did she fail to enter the garden smoothly, but she also lost face in front of the security lady. She was so angry in her heart, but she really had no choice but to stand there, her face turning red and white, feeling so embarrassed.

Seeing the resolute attitude of the security lady, Sang Jiuyue's anger suddenly rose up, and her face turned pale and red. She raised her voice and said sharply: "Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of the Sang family. You can see this black card clearly. With it, you can enter any place. You are just a security guard, and you dare to stop me. Don't you want to do this job anymore?" As she said this, she almost poked the black card in the face of the security lady, her eyes full of arrogance and disdain, as if in her opinion, this black card is a master key that can make everyone bow down to her.

The security lady slightly turned sideways to avoid Sang Jiuyue's action, still with a polite smile on her face, but her tone was firm: "Miss, no matter who you are or what card you have, I cannot let you enter this area without an advance appointment and permission. This is my duty, please understand and cooperate." The security lady's voice was not loud, but every word was spoken clearly and forcefully, without the slightest retreat or fear.

Upon hearing this, Sang Jiuyue became even angrier. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Are you deliberately making things difficult for me? I tell you, I have to go in today, and the people inside are waiting for me. Can you take responsibility for delaying my business? You don't understand the weight of this black card at all. It represents not just an ordinary identity and status. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way and don't make me angry!" Her eyes were wide open like an angry lion, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. It was obvious that she had lost her mind.

At this time, Sang Jiuyue's mother also stepped forward. She looked at the security lady, then at Sang Jiuyue, then put on a amiable expression and said softly: "Little girl, you see, we are not unreasonable people. We do have very important things to do to go in and find our friends inside. You should know the value of this black card. We usually don't use this method to ask for any special treatment, but the situation today is really urgent. Please be kind and make an exception. We will be out in a while and won't cause you any trouble, okay?" The mother's voice was gentle and earnest, trying to impress the security lady with soft words.

However, the security lady was not shaken by their words. She shook her head slightly and said again: "Madam, Miss, I understand your feelings, but I must abide by the rules. I cannot let anyone in without instructions from my superiors. If you have any questions, you can contact the relevant person in charge to resolve them, but I cannot violate my work principles." The security lady's eyes were firm and sincere, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that neither soft nor hard tactics worked, Sang Jiuyue was so angry that she stomped her feet. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you just wait! If you don't let me in today, you'll be in trouble in the future! I want to see how long you can keep this job!" After that, she glared at the security lady fiercely, turned to her mother and said, "Mom, let's go! I don't believe there is no other way to get in!" The mother and daughter left the garden entrance angrily. Sang Jiuyue kept muttering complaints along the way, and the black card in her hand, which was originally placed with high hopes, seemed particularly ironic at this moment.

Sang Jiuyue stood at the entrance of the garden, her eyes full of anxiety and anger. After being stopped by the security lady's resolute attitude, she felt that her patience was at its limit. Just as she was about to break in, she suddenly felt like she was hit by an electric current, her body suddenly stiffened, and the carefully planned disguise plan suddenly emerged in her mind.

She turned her head and said to her mother in panic, "Mom, no, we can't go in directly like this. Have you forgotten how I got in with Nancy before? I finally got that female assistant to cooperate with me and pretended to introduce me as a nanny, and then I slowly gained a little trust. If I walk in like this now, Nancy's eyes are so sharp that she will see through me at a glance." Sang Jiuyue's voice trembled slightly with anxiety, and she spoke very quickly, as if she was afraid that she would miss the best opportunity if she was slower.

After hearing her words, her mother showed a trace of worry on her face. She frowned and said, "What should we do? This is an opportunity we finally found. Are we just going to give up like this?" The mother's eyes were full of unwillingness, and her hands were clenched tightly together, showing her inner anxiety.

Sang Jiuyue paced back and forth for a few steps, biting her lips constantly, racking her brains to think of countermeasures. "No, we can't give up. But if we are exposed now, not only will this plan fail, but it will be even more difficult to get information from Nancy in the future. That female assistant will also be fired. Without her, we will be missing a pair of eyes and ears, and we will be completely in the dark with Nancy." Sang Jiuyue stopped and looked at his mother firmly, with a hint of determination in his tone.

Seeing her daughter's anxious look, the mother also helped to give advice: "How about we call the female assistant and ask her to find a way to lure Nancy away, or find an excuse for us to go in?" There was a glimmer of expectation in the mother's eyes, as if she thought this was a feasible solution.

Sang Jiuyue shook her head and said helplessly: "How can it be that easy? Nancy is not someone who can be led by the nose easily. And if we call the female assistant now, what if Nancy finds out, or something goes wrong on her side, wouldn't that be even worse? We have to think of a safer way that will allow us to get in without arousing anyone's suspicion." Sang Jiuyue frowned even more tightly, her eyes revealing deep worry. She knew that she was in a dilemma and all her efforts would be wasted if she was not careful.

The mother sighed and said anxiously, "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. What should we do? Once we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find another one." There was a hint of tears in the mother's voice, and it was obvious that she was a little confused.

Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She closed her eyes and was silent for a moment. Then she slowly opened her eyes, a look of determination in her eyes: "Mom, don't worry. Let's leave here first and don't attract other people's attention. I'll think of other ways. There will always be a way to get in. I will never give up so easily." After that, she took her mother's hand, turned and left the garden entrance. Although her steps were a little hurried, her eyes revealed a determination to never give up until she achieved her goal.

The lazy afternoon sun, like a soft veil, shines through the thin clouds and falls on the bustling streets of the city. Under the golden light, the shops on both sides of the street seem to be carefully outlined by the magical painter of nature, exuding charming brilliance, and every inch of bricks and stones sparkles with golden light.

Sang Jiuyue sat quietly in a coffee shop called "Grinding Time", which was like a quiet oasis in the downtown. The decoration style of the shop was unique, adopting the European retro style. The dark brown wooden tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and each table seemed to be telling an ancient story. There were several abstract paintings hanging on the wall. Those paintings were colorful but mysterious, like the concrete presentation of the fantasy world deep in the hearts of artists, adding a strong artistic atmosphere to the whole space. There were several pots of lush green plants in the corner. Their vibrant appearance contrasted with the calm and elegant style of the shop, just right to blend a warm and comfortable atmosphere. At this time, the air was filled with the rich and mellow aroma of coffee, which was the unique fragrance of coffee beans after roasting and grinding. It lingered in every corner, as if gently teasing people's olfactory nerves. The soothing and melodious jazz music, like a clear spring, slowly flows through every inch of the store, forming a sharp and strong contrast with the hustle and bustle of the street outside the store, making people involuntarily immersed in this moment of tranquility and comfort.

Sang Jiuyue was wearing a fitted black dress. The dress was extremely soft, as if it was made of the finest silk, delicate and smooth. It fit her body curves tightly, like a loyal partner, and perfectly showed her slender waist like a willow branch, and her long and straight legs. Every line was smooth and natural, as flawless as an ancient Greek sculpture. Her hair was neatly tied behind her head, and her smooth forehead was exposed to the air without reservation, with a soft luster. Her face was made up with exquisite makeup, and her slender and curved eyebrows were like two light willow leaves, quietly perched above her deep and bright eyes. At this moment, her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and fierceness, like an angry cheetah, waiting for the best opportunity, ready to pounce on its prey at any time. Her fingers were slender and white, but at this moment, because of her inner restlessness, she kept tapping on the table, making a rhythmic "tap tap" sound. The sound was particularly clear in this quiet store, like dense drum beats, beating people's hearts again and again. Her eyes drifted to the door of the store from time to time, full of expectation and eagerness, as if the key to her destiny was hidden outside the door, and she was anxiously waiting for the moment to open this door of destiny.

Not long after, the female assistant hurried into the coffee shop. She was dressed simply and capable, a snow-white shirt without a wrinkle, clean and tidy to the point of being eye-catching. She wore a pair of black straight pants, the simple lines outlining her neat figure. Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, with a few strands of hair hanging on both sides of her cheeks, adding a bit of playfulness and agility to her. However, at this moment, there was a trace of fatigue and tension on her face. The fatigue was like an indelible shadow, shrouding the depths of her eyes, and the tension was like a taut string, making every movement of her seem a little stiff and unnatural. She saw Sang Jiuyue sitting in the corner at a glance, her footsteps paused slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath, and then slowly walked towards the direction of Sang Jiuyue.

"Sit down." Sang Jiuyue said coldly, and she raised her chin slightly, her action was elegant but with a hint of arrogance, as if she was a princess looking down at her subjects. There was a subtle threat in her eyes, like a cold star twinkling in the night sky, although the light was weak, it made people shudder, like a cheetah hiding in the dark, ready to pounce on its prey and tear it into pieces.

The female assistant pulled out the chair carefully, so gently that she was afraid of making any noise that would disturb the seemingly calm but turbulent atmosphere. She sat down slowly, her hands folded on her legs nervously, her fingers constantly entwined with each other, as if this could relieve her inner tension. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Sang Jiuyue's eyes, and whispered in a voice like a mosquito's buzzing: "Miss, you are so anxious to find me, is there something wrong?" Her voice trembled slightly, and every word seemed to turn around in her throat before being squeezed out with difficulty, with a strong sense of anxiety and panic.

Sang Jiuyue snorted coldly, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile, that smile was like the cold wind in winter, icy and piercing, making people feel no warmth. She said: "Don't you know? The last time I asked you to arrange for me to get close to Jiang Cimu, it was ruined. How did you do it?" Her eyes were fixed on the female assistant, like two sharp daggers, piercing straight into the female assistant's heart, wanting to see through her thoughts and not miss any details.

The female assistant was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper, and her lips trembled slightly, like a leaf shivering in the autumn wind. She hurriedly explained: "Miss, I didn't expect that this situation would suddenly happen. Miss Nancy and Miss Alice, their auras are too strong, I really can't do anything." Fear and helplessness flashed in her eyes. The fear was like a surging tide, drowning her, and helplessness was like a heavy shackle, binding her hands and feet. Her hands kept twisting the corners of her clothes, as if she wanted to crush them to pieces, to vent her inner anxiety and uneasiness. (End of this chapter)
