After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 87 Lurking
The three of them sat on a bench in the garden. Next to the bench was an exquisite stone table, which was already filled with exquisite snacks and drinks. The snacks were beautifully shaped, some looked like blooming flowers, and some looked like cute little animals, making people reluctant to eat them. There were also a wide variety of drinks, including juice, coffee, tea, etc., each of which exuded an alluring aroma.

"Today is really an eye-opener, Farah. Your collection room is simply stunning." Sang Shuwan said with emotion, a satisfied smile on her face.

Nancy nodded in agreement. "Yes, those treasures are so precious. However, my favorite is the box containing your childhood treasures. It feels so warm. It allows me to see another side of you, a you full of innocence and dreams."

Farah smiled and said: "In fact, these collections are not just material wealth, but also a part of my life. Each one has a unique story. I hope you can feel my love for them today. These collections have witnessed my growth and also carry the history and culture of our family."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the garden, casting a golden glow on everything. The laughter of the three girls echoed in the garden, and their friendship became deeper in this afternoon full of surprises. They shared each other's dreams and stories, as if time had stopped at this moment.

In the dreamlike manor of Fala, the sun gently shines on the neatly trimmed lawn, which is like a green velvet carpet, soft and comfortable. There are flowers all around, all kinds of flowers are competing for beauty, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, they are intertwined with each other, forming a colorful sea of flowers. The breeze blows, bringing bursts of sweet fragrance, which seems to be the most gentle caress of nature, making people intoxicated.

Sang Shuwan and Nancy strolled through the scenery, enjoying the picturesque scenery, feeling particularly relaxed. Their steps were light and cheerful, like two butterflies dancing in the flowers. Sang Shuwan wore a light blue dress, the hem of which fluttered gently with her steps, like a blooming blue flower. Nancy wore a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, looking youthful and energetic.

At this time, Farah came up from behind with light steps, her face was filled with a bright smile, like a blooming sunflower. She smiled and said, "Come on, let's go to the pavilion over there and sit down. I have a lot of interesting things to share with you."

The three of them came to a pavilion surrounded by flowers. The pavilion was covered with roses. The pink flowers were dotted among the green leaves like stars, exuding a faint fragrance. The rattan chairs and stone tables were neatly arranged. Exquisite snacks and refreshing drinks had been carefully prepared on the stone table, exuding an alluring atmosphere. The snacks were in various shapes, including bear-shaped cakes, flower-shaped biscuits, and exquisite platters made of fruits. The drinks included freshly squeezed juices, exuding a rich fruity aroma, and steaming coffee, which was fragrant.

Farah picked up a piece of dessert, took a bite, then looked at Sang Shuwan and Nancy with a mysterious smile on her face, and said, "You know, I've signed a lot of contracts with Alice before, and the more I've dealt with her, the more I've found that she's really a very capable person. This time, she took the initiative to find me and said that she really appreciates your talents in art and wants to take good care of you and help you move to a higher level in your career."

Sang Shuwan widened his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "It turned out to be Alice. I'm quite surprised. She suddenly had such an idea. Could it be some special project? Alice has always been very ambitious in the business field. Every move she makes may contain huge commercial value."

Nancy's face was full of curiosity, her eyes sparkling, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Fara, tell me, what did she tell you specifically? Did she mention how she could help us? I really want to know what her plan is."

Farah put down the snack in her hand, picked up a glass of juice, and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste of the juice spread in her mouth, making her feel refreshed. Then she slowly said, "She mentioned that she was preparing something very special, which seemed to be a project that combined art, fashion and technology, but she didn't say too many specific details. She felt that your style and creativity were particularly suitable for this project, and wanted to invite you to participate, maybe sparks of different things could be created. She praised your talents and believed that your unique perspective and innovative thinking could inject new vitality into this project."

Sang Shuwan gently turned the cup in his hand and said thoughtfully, "It does sound interesting, but such a large-scale integration project is definitely not simple. Alice is so smart in business, she must have her own considerations. We have to think about it carefully and not be too hasty. Such a project may face many challenges, such as technical difficulties, market acceptance, etc. We must consider it comprehensively."

Nancy nodded, but her eyes were still full of excitement: "I think this is a rare opportunity. If we can participate in such a project, maybe we can get in touch with more new things and have greater development in the industry. We can get to know many top people in the industry and expand our personal network resources, which is of immeasurable value to our future development."

Farah smiled and continued, "Alice also said that she is very optimistic about you and thinks your creativity can bring new vitality to this project. And if the cooperation goes smoothly, it will definitely be of great help to your future development, and you will be able to meet many important people in the industry. She also mentioned that if this project is successful, it will cause a huge sensation in the industry, and we will also become the focus of attention."

Sang Shuwan frowned slightly and said seriously: "Although there are many benefits, we still have to be cautious. For example, we need to understand clearly what we will do in this project, what kind of returns we can get, and whether there will be any risks. We can't just see the immediate benefits and ignore the potential problems. We need to clarify our roles and responsibilities in the project, as well as the project's profit distribution and risk-bearing mechanism."

After hearing this, Nancy put away some of her excitement and became serious: "You are right. We cannot just see the benefits, we have to consider all aspects carefully. We must be responsible for our own future and cannot make decisions blindly. We need more information to evaluate the feasibility and potential value of this project."

Farah agreed: "I also think we should be cautious, but I believe in your abilities. If you really participate, you will definitely be able to play to your strengths. Your talent and hard work are obvious to all. I believe you will be able to achieve excellent results in this project. Moreover, I will always be by your side to support you."

Next, the three of them had a heated discussion about Alice's proposal, analyzing and discussing the difficulties that might be encountered and the future development prospects. Their voices were sometimes passionate and sometimes low, like a symphony full of passion and thought.

In this pavilion filled with the fragrance of flowers, their laughter and joy echoed continuously, sometimes they were excited about the opportunities that might come, and sometimes they were lost in thought about potential problems. The sunshine shone on them, outlining a beautiful picture, and their friendship became deeper in this heated discussion.

In Farah's beautiful manor, the sun shines warmly in every corner, the flowers are in full bloom, the grass is green, and the breeze blows, bringing bursts of fragrance. Sang Shuwan, Nancy and Farah sit in the pavilion in the garden, surrounded by a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Sang Shuwan gently put down the teacup in his hand, with a sincere smile on his face, looked at Farah and said, "Fara, I am really grateful to you. I know you have been very concerned about Alice's matter this time, and you really have good intentions. Don't worry, when we meet Alice, we will definitely praise you in front of her and let her know what a great partner you are. I feel from the bottom of my heart that you and Alice are both very good people. It would be great to work with you. I believe that as long as we work together this time, we will succeed!"

After hearing this, Farah smiled brightly and waved her hand, saying, "Oh, it's too formal for us to talk about this. I just did what I could. I also hope that we can achieve something remarkable together. We are good friends, and we should help each other. I hope we can realize our dreams together."

Nancy agreed with a smile: "That's right, we are the iron triangle, we will definitely be successful! It's such a happy day, it's boring to just chat, let's have some fun. It's too tiring to talk about work all the time, we need to relax."

Farah's eyes lit up, and she suggested excitedly, "How about we play a riddle game? I have a lot of weird little gadgets in my manor. I can hide one of them and then give you a riddle. Whoever guesses where it is first wins. The loser has to perform a show for everyone!"

Sang Shuwan smiled and nodded, his eyes full of eagerness to try: "It sounds interesting, I can't wait to give it a try. Maybe I can guess the answer quickly."

Nancy clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, I love playing games. But Farah, please don't give me too difficult riddles, or I won't be able to figure them out."

Farah blinked mischievously and stood up: "That's not necessarily true. I have to think about it carefully and find a difficult one. Otherwise, how can I stump you two smart and talented ladies?" After that, she paced around the manor, searching for the target with her eyes as if she was hunting for treasure.

After a while, Farah picked up a small and exquisite crystal ornament, which was carved into a butterfly with wings fluttering, shining with colorful light in the sun. She looked around and found what she thought was a perfect hiding place. After returning, she cleared her throat and said seriously: "Listen carefully, the first tip is that the place where this thing is located can only be illuminated by sunlight in the afternoon."

Sang Shuwan and Nancy immediately started thinking and looked around the manor. Nancy spoke first, pointing her finger into the distance: "Isn't that the cabin behind the big tree over there? The sun can shine there in the afternoon."

Farah smiled and shook her head, her hair swaying gently as she moved: "No. Let me give you another hint. It's in a place surrounded by a lot of green plants."

Sang Shuwan held his chin up, his eyes wandering around the garden. After thinking for a moment, he looked at a flower stand in the corner of the garden and said, "Is it in the small box under the flower stand? There are many vines there, and there is sunshine in the afternoon."

Farah raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile: "I still haven't guessed it right. One last hint, it's not far from where we are sitting now, and there is something next to it that makes a sound."

Nancy's eyes suddenly widened, and various scenes in the manor flashed through her mind. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she jumped up from her chair and ran towards a small fountain not far away. She found the crystal butterfly ornament under a stone beside the fountain and shouted excitedly, "I found it! I guessed it was near the fountain. Why didn't I think of it just now?"

Sang Shuwan and Farah were amused by Nancy's excitement. Sang Shuwan smiled and said, "Nancy, you are amazing. You thought of this last hint so quickly."

Farah also walked over and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. I guess I have to hide more secretly next time. Well, Nancy won, it's our turn to perform."

Nancy rolled her eyes and said with a wicked smile, "Let me think about it... Farah, you always say you sing well, why don't you sing a song for us today?"

Farah blushed slightly and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, it's not as good as you said, but since I lost, I'll show my ugliness." She cleared her throat and sang softly. Farah's voice was clear and pleasant, like a spring in the mountains, flowing into everyone's heart. The song floated in the garden, attracting the surrounding birds to stop singing, as if they were also listening quietly.

After the song, Sang Shuwan and Nancy both applauded. Sang Shuwan praised: "Fara, you sang so well, you can be a singer."

Nancy also agreed: "That's right, I didn't expect you to have this skill. Please sing for us more often in the future."

Farah smiled and waved her hands: "Don't praise me anymore, I feel embarrassed. Okay, let's play something else."

So they started playing the idiom chain game again.

Farah took the lead: "Take the lead."

Sang Shuwan reacted quickly and immediately said, "First impressions."

Nancy thought for a moment and said, "The host and the guest are reversed."

The game was tense and interesting. Sometimes everyone would scratch their heads because they couldn't think of a suitable idiom. For example, when Sang Shuwan said "recite it backwards like a stream", Nancy racked her brains and blushed, but still couldn't think of an idiom starting with "流". Amid everyone's laughter, Nancy had to admit defeat and told everyone a joke. Her vivid description made Sang Shuwan and Farah laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.

Sometimes they would applaud the other person for saying a clever idiom. When Farah said "the dark willows and bright flowers appear", Sang Shuwan immediately followed up with "observe the autumn details clearly", and Nancy couldn't help but praise: "This is a good response, what a quick reaction."

When they were tired of playing, they lay on the soft grass, looking at the blue sky and sharing the interesting things in each other's life. Sang Shuwan talked about the embarrassing experience of accidentally getting paint on the teacher's clothes in a painting class, which made the whole class laugh. Nancy talked about the embarrassing experience of participating in a dance competition, where she was too nervous and danced all the moves wrong, and finally forgot them on the stage. Farah also shared the funny story of her childhood when she secretly ran to the kitchen to make a cake and ended up making a mess of the kitchen.

The sunshine shines on them, outlining a beautiful picture, and their friendship grows deeper in this happy time.

However, just as they were immersed in joy, something unexpected was happening at the very edge of the manor, in a natural isolation zone composed of lush green plants.

Sang Jiuyue suddenly appeared here. He looked flustered, his steps were hurried, and his eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness, as if he was avoiding some danger. His clothes were a little messy, and his hair was messy in the wind. He looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the branches of the green plants with both hands, and tried to use them to climb over the wall to enter the manor. The branches of the green plant belt were very thick, covered with sharp thorns and dense leaves. As soon as Sang Jiuyue's hands grasped the branches, he was pricked by the thorns. He couldn't help but "hiss", but he didn't give up. He pushed the wall with his feet, trying to find a support point. But those seemingly thick branches shook under his pull, and there was no stable foothold under his feet.

Sang Jiuyue took great effort to finally climb halfway up. His arms were shaking from the effort, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. The sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the grass below. Just as he was about to climb a little higher, he suddenly slipped and lost his balance.

He waved his arms in fear, trying to grab something to steady himself, but it was all in vain. With a muffled groan, he fell heavily to the ground. His body collided violently with the ground, making a dull sound.

The sudden noise broke the tranquility at the edge of the manor. The big dogs raised by Farah's family were instantly alert. They were lying lazily on the ground basking in the sun. When they heard the noise, they immediately pricked up their ears and sniffed the strange smell in the air. There was a vigilant light in their eyes and a low roar came from their throats. Then, they barked in the direction of Sang Jiuyue. The roar was deafening, as if it would wake up the entire manor.

At the same time, the servant who was tidying up the flowers and plants nearby also heard the noise. He stopped what he was doing, frowned, and walked quickly to check the situation along the barking of the dog. The servant's footsteps were hurried, and each step was heavy. He had a vigilant look on his face, and his hands were tightly holding the gardening tools in his hands, as if he was ready to deal with danger at any time.

Sang Jiuyue lay on the ground, his whole body aching, his limbs felt like they were falling apart. His palms were scraped and bleeding, and his knees were bruised. But he didn't care about the pain at all. Hearing the barking of dogs and the sound of footsteps approaching, his heart rose to his throat.

He got up in a panic and looked around. He found a dense bush not far away. The leaves of the bush were dense and thick, like a green wall. Without thinking too much, he crouched and ran towards the bush quickly.

He dove into the bushes, curled up tightly inside, not daring to breathe. Sharp branches scratched his cheeks and arms, leaving shallow scratches, and blood oozed from the scratches. But he didn't care at all, just trying to hide deeper. His eyes were fixed on the movement outside, and his heart was beating wildly in his chest, as if it was about to burst through his chest. His breathing was rapid and heavy, and he could only try to suppress it, for fear of being discovered by the people outside.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the manor, Sang Shuwan, Nancy and Farah were still playing to their heart's content, oblivious to what was happening here. The sound of a dog barking could be heard faintly, but they were having so much fun that they were only stunned for a moment before continuing to immerse themselves in the joyful atmosphere.

The dogs' barking became louder and louder, and they seemed to be approaching them. Nancy frowned and said in confusion, "Strange, why are the dogs barking so loudly today? They never do this before."

Sang Shuwan also raised his head, listened, and said, "It's a bit strange, but maybe he saw some small animal."

Farah smiled and said, "Ignore them and let's continue playing. Dogs are like that sometimes, they get startled."

However, the barking showed no signs of stopping, but became more and more urgent. Soon, several large dogs appeared in their sight, barking as they ran towards the edge of the manor.

The servant quickly followed. After seeing Farah, he hesitated for a moment, but still walked up and said, "Miss, there seemed to be some movement over there just now, and the dogs were startled. I went over to check, but I didn't find anything unusual for the time being."

Farah frowned slightly and said, "Look around carefully again, make sure nothing happens."

The servant nodded, turned around and walked towards the edge of the manor again.

Sang Shuwan and Nancy couldn't sit still any longer, so they stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look together, maybe we can help."

So, the three of them followed the servants and the dogs and walked towards the edge of the manor. As the distance got closer, Sang Jiuyue's heart became more and more anxious. He didn't know what he was about to face, so he could only tremble in the bushes and pray not to be discovered.

As the servants and Farah approached, Sang Jiuyue felt his heartbeat was about to go out of control in the bushes. Every footstep seemed to be stepping heavily on his heart. He could hear his pulse beating violently in his temples, and the "thump thump" sound was so loud that it seemed that the whole world could hear it. He closed his eyes tightly, not daring to breathe, his body trembling slightly due to excessive tension, and his hands tightly covered his mouth, fearing that he would accidentally make any sound.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the bushes, forming patches of light. Sang Jiuyue hides in the interlaced light and shadow, trying to blend into the dark corner. His eyes are fixed on the figure approaching outside, his eyes are full of fear and despair. A small insect crawls onto the back of his hand, and he dares not drive it away. He can only let the insect crawl on his skin. The itchy feeling makes him more and more uncomfortable, but he can do nothing about it.

The servant's steps were steady and powerful, and each step was very solid. His eyes scanned everything around him sharply, not missing any details. The big dogs shuttled back and forth around, sniffing the ground constantly and making low growls, as if conveying some information to their master. Farah, Sang Shuwan and Nancy followed behind. Although their steps were not as hurried as the servants, they were also full of curiosity and worry.

"How strange, what's wrong with the dogs today?" Nancy muttered softly, looking around, trying to find out why the dogs were so crazy.

"Could it be that some wild animal ran in?" Sang Shuwan guessed, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes. After all, such situations rarely occurred in the manor.

Farah didn't say anything, her brows slightly furrowed, her expression a little solemn. She knew that the security measures of her manor had always been very strict, and generally no accidents would happen, but today's situation was indeed a little abnormal.

The servant stopped a few steps away from the bushes. He seemed to sense something and looked straight at the bushes where Sang Jiuyue was hiding. Sang Jiuyue's heart instantly rose to his throat. He felt like his breathing was about to stop. His eyes were wide open and he dared not move, as if he would be discovered if he moved even a little.

The night was as dark as ink, weighing heavily on Farah's manor. This magnificent building was like a dormant beast, with a sense of mystery and majesty in its silence. The moonlight shone through the mottled leaves, casting pieces of broken light and shadows, swaying on the walls of the mansion, as if it was a silent sigh left by the years.

Sang Jiuyue hid in the shadow of the mansion, like a sharp black panther, staring at the busy maid not far away. She knew very well that she was about to step into a thrilling chess game, and if she was not careful, she would lose everything.

Sang Jiuyue slightly bent her waist, taking each step very carefully, her toes lightly tapping the ground, just like a feather falling, making almost no sound. Her eyes were fixed on the maid's every move, with a nervous and anxious light flashing in her eyes, like a hunter waiting for an opportunity in the dark.

As the maids were busy shuttling around the room, Sang Jiuyue was like a skilled dancer, skillfully and flexibly adjusting her position, always hiding in the blind spot of the maids' sight. Her eyes were like searchlights, scanning the surroundings vigilantly from time to time, her nerves were as tense as strings about to break, fearing that any slight movement would expose her whereabouts.

Finally, a godsend opportunity came. The moment the maid turned and walked into the inner room, Sang Jiuyue rushed to the place where the maid's clothes were placed like a black lightning. Her hands reached out to the pile of clothes in a panic, and her fingers trembled with nervousness, as if she was touching the most precious but fragile treasure in the world.

She quickly took off her clothes, her movements were hasty and flustered, and in the dim light, her figure looked a little embarrassed. When she put on the maid's uniform, her hands were so busy that she couldn't control them. She buttoned the wrong buttons several times, but her strong desire to survive drove her to quickly rearrange them without hesitation. After putting on her clothes, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart. Facing the mirror, she tried her best to imitate the maid's simple and submissive demeanor, and then pretended to be calm and started the "work" at hand.

When Sang Jiuyue stepped into the spacious hall, it was as if she had stepped into a jungle full of dangers. Her heart was beating violently, as if it was about to burst through her chest, and every beat was accompanied by a burst of fear that spread throughout her body. She looked around hurriedly, eagerly looking for a safe hiding place. At this moment, the most remote corner of the hall came into view. The lights there were dim and dim, as if it was a corner forgotten by the light, just right for her to hide.

Her steps were hurried and flustered, but she had to deliberately slow down, and every step was like stepping on a knife edge, and she was very careful. She almost stuck to the wall, like a frightened gecko, moving towards the corner little by little. On the way, several maids hurriedly walked by with trays or cleaning tools, brushing past her. Every time, she was so nervous that her breathing stopped, and she subconsciously lowered her head and buried her face deep in the shadows, fearing that her disguise would be ruthlessly exposed the moment their eyes met.

After finally reaching the corner, she hurriedly picked up the rag beside her, her movements as frantic as a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw. At this time, her fingers were still trembling slightly due to nervousness, and the rag almost slipped from her hands. She pretended to wipe the furniture beside her seriously, her movements were mechanical and stiff, but her eyes were constantly vigilantly observing every move around her.

Looking up, in the whole hall, thirty or forty maids were like a group of busy worker ants, shuttling back and forth. Their figures intertwined, making people dazzled. Sang Jiuyue secretly rejoiced that with so many people, she might be able to escape in a short time. However, this fluke mentality was like thin ice, and it could not dispel the uneasiness that followed her like a shadow. Every time someone approached, even if they just passed by inadvertently, her heartbeat would instantly go out of control and suddenly speed up, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. And the rag in her hand would be unconsciously clenched tighter, and her knuckles turned white due to the force, always alert to whether someone had seen through her disguise.

After an unknown amount of time, a crisp laugh broke the busy atmosphere in the hall. Sang Jiuyue looked up and saw Farah, Sang Shuwan and Nancy walking towards the restaurant. Their figures were particularly dazzling under the gorgeous lights, forming a sharp contrast with Sang Jiuyue's embarrassment at the moment. Sang Jiuyue's heart moved, and a strong intuition told her that the conversation between these three people might hide information that was crucial to her. So, she quietly put down the rag in her hand, crouched down, and carefully followed behind the three people.

In the restaurant, the crystal chandelier casts down a waterfall of light, making every corner sparkle. The dining table is covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and the exquisite silverware is neatly placed, reflecting the cool light. Soft and soothing music flows in the air, interweaving with people's whispered conversations into a unique movement, adding a bit of elegance to the space. However, for Sang Jiuyue, this seemingly beautiful scene is full of unknown dangers.

Farah was graceful, wearing a deep sea blue evening gown. The satin fabric had a charming sheen, which perfectly outlined her curves. Her long black hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands of hair falling on her fair neck, like a beautiful painting. She walked gracefully to the dining table, with a confident smile on her lips and an innate sense of superiority in her eyes. She raised her chin slightly and glanced at everything around her, as if the whole world was under her control.

Sang Shuwan was wearing a light pink slim-fitting cheongsam, with delicate buttons extending from the neckline to the sides, outlining her gentle temperament. Her hair was neatly combed back, revealing a smooth and full forehead, looking fresh and capable. Her eyes were like a clear spring, revealing intelligence and calmness. She gently smoothed the wrinkles on the cheongsam, her movements were elegant and natural, and every detail showed her upbringing and taste.

Nancy was wearing a playful yellow short skirt with delicate lace on the hem, exuding youthful vitality. Her playful short hair was slightly curly, like a smart elf. She jumped behind Farah and Sang Shuwan, with curiosity shining in her eyes. She kept looking around, full of freshness in everything, and humming a tuneless little song from time to time.

The three of them took their seats one after another. Farah elegantly picked up the crystal glass on the table and shook it gently. The red wine inside sparkled like a ruby. She raised her head slightly, her eyes were full of confidence and determination, her voice was crisp and pleasant, and she said in an unquestionable tone: "This family project is a great opportunity. We must go all out. This is not only related to our personal interests, but also to the future direction of the family. We can't slack off at all and must ensure that every link is foolproof."

Sang Shuwan nodded slightly, her eyes focused, her expression serious and earnest. Her tone was steady, and every word was clear and powerful, as if she had said it slowly after careful consideration: "Indeed, the early preparations have already consumed a lot of effort, and invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. We have repeatedly considered every detail, and there must not be the slightest mistake. Once a mistake is made, the consequences will be disastrous."

Nancy blinked her big eyes, leaned forward, and said impatiently: "I heard that our competitors are making frequent moves. They seem to be planning something big. We have to be careful! We can't let them get the upper hand." Her expression was rich, her eyes were full of worry and eagerness, and her hands were unconsciously clenched, as if she had already felt the pressure from her opponents.

In a corner not far away, Sang Jiuyue was pretending to wipe the dishes carefully. She was wearing a simple maid's uniform, her body was shaking slightly, her hands were tightly holding the rag, her knuckles were white from the force. She lowered her head slightly, her fringe covered most of her face, and only her tightly pursed lips and her chin trembling slightly from nervousness could be seen.

Her ears tried to catch every word of the three people, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was about to burst out of her chest. When she heard about the family project and competitors, her eyes flashed with panic and nervousness. She knew that this project was very important to her and was a key opportunity to change her destiny. She was afraid of missing any key information, and she was also worried that her eavesdropping would be discovered. Every time the three people laughed, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and subconsciously buried her head lower, as if this would make her safer.

She secretly raised her eyes and carefully observed the three people's every move with her peripheral vision. Seeing that no one noticed her, she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly moved a few steps closer. The rag in her hand unconsciously wiped the plate repeatedly, but her mind was not on it at all. She thought to herself: "This family project is very important to me. I must find information that is beneficial to me from their conversation. I must not miss this opportunity. This may be my only chance, I must seize it."

At this moment, Farah's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Sang Jiyue feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. "For this cooperation, it is thanks to Alice who introduced Sang Shuwan and Nancy to me. Her connections and vision are indeed unique. With her coordination in the middle, our cooperation can be so smooth."

Sang Jiuyue's hand, which was wiping the candlestick, suddenly stopped, her heart instantly rose to her throat, and her breathing became rapid. Her mind was blank, as if the whole world had stopped turning at this moment. She quietly raised her eyes, looking through the gaps in the crowd, staring closely at the three people at the table, her eyes full of astonishment and tension. Her hands, which were originally trembling slightly, were now clenched even tighter, and her knuckles turned white due to the force, and even the knuckles were faintly blue.

"How could it be related to Alice?" She thought in panic, "How could Alice be involved with them and act as a matchmaker... Alice has always been secretive, her appearance is definitely not accidental, what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this?" Sang Jiuyue knew that Alice's appearance was no small matter, and there might be a more complicated situation behind it, and she had to figure it out as soon as possible, otherwise her plan might be completely disrupted. She felt as if she was in a huge spider web, and every slight movement might touch the fatal thread.
