After knowing what happened, Zhou Yanshen excused himself from the conversation he was engaged in and rushed to Lin Jiao's side.
He held a plate of macarons and coaxed her with food like when they were young. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've helped you teach him a lesson."
"What did you do to him?"
"Just beat him up."
Lin Jiao did not believe him. "That's all?"
Seeing her suspicious gaze, Zhou Yanshen did not panic at all. He even said confidently, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Lin Jiao asked again, "Then where is he?"
"He is sent to the hospital. It's nothing serious."
Zhou Yanshen intentionally understated the matter.
He raised his glass and clinked glasses with her. In a bid to change the topic, he asked, "Jiaojiao, did Pei Yilan meet that person she's been looking for?"
"Yes." Lin Jiao whispered into his ear to avoid being heard by the others.
