Shi Xiao glanced at Yuan Shu indifferently. The shock that flashed across her long and narrow eyes didn’t escape his eyes, but he didn’t say anything. He only nodded and turned to walk towards the booth.

Why didn’t he know that Yuan Shu hated such an environment? Didn’t Yuan Shu call herself the queen of nightclubs back then? She put on heavy makeup every day and danced around to the wildest DJ. Why did she change so much in just two months?

The two bodyguards sat down in Yuan Shu’s booth. The wine had already been moved to Shi Xiao’s booth. As the five of them sat quietly in the leather seats, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhang Zhang was very gregarious, but when she saw Shi Xiao’s cold expression, she was speechless as well.

She didn’t expect that she almost snatched Shi Lu’s brother’s seat just now. She really didn’t want to sit in this seat at all now!

Shi Lu was even more nervous when he saw his brother. In the entire Shi family, other than their parents, who were not in the country now, the three of them were most afraid of Shi Xiao.

Shi Lu was afraid of Shi Xiao because they were half-brothers. In addition, Shi Xiao had always had reservations about Shi Lu’s involvement in the entertainment industry, so Shi Lu had always avoided him. Later on, he didn’t even return to the Shi family’s home.

Meanwhile, Yuan Shu was deep in thought.

When she came to this world, she had the Host’s memories in her body, but why did she have no impression of Shi Xiao? It was as if this face had never appeared in front of her before.

Shi Xiao stared at Yuan Shu intently and he suddenly started to look forward to Yuan Shu’s performance when they went back tonight.

Then, Shi Xiao noticed the cup of Sky City in front of Yuan Shu. It was strange that this cup of wine had appeared in front of him twice.

He turned his head and closed the distance between him and Li Ci. “I remember you were going to tell me what was wrong with that glass of wine that night. Now that I’m here, you can tell me.”

Of course, Li Ci also noticed the Sky City in front of Yuan Shu and the corners of his mouth curled up into a confident smile. “Bartender.”

When Shi Xiao heard this, he looked at the tall man with dreadlocks standing at the bar in the distance. He was holding a cocktail mixer and making a cup of Sky City. The wine he made was exactly the same as Shi Xiao’s wine that night. Compared to the wine in front of Yuan Shu, it was missing a bright red cherry.

Why was the glass of wine given to Yuan Shu different?

Shi Xiao and Li Ci had the same question in mind. When the two of them looked at each other, they saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

The lively atmosphere just now had already cooled down and most people returned to their seats. The band went on stage to play songs again, and the style of the song began to become more lighthearted. The lighting in No Man’s Land also changed to the color of the night. With the combination of soft blue and purple lighting, the performance was probably about to end.

Shi Xiao asked Li Ci, “You probably didn’t expect Yuan Shu to appear here at this time, right? Do you think this is a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement?”

Li Ci frowned, as if he couldn’t understand this question. “It’s hard to say. I only found out that the boss behind No Man’s Land is Tan Jing. However, the Tan family has always been neutral, so I can’t think of why he used a glass of wine to set you up. I don’t know what role Madam Shi played in this either.”

Shi Xiao had been in Africa for two months, but he had completely forgotten about the fence sitter, the Tan family. He only set his sights on the Jiang family and the Xu family. He had really miscalculated.

“What has the Tan family done recently?” Shi Xiao asked.

“During the ancestral home gala, Tan Jing once extended an offer to Madam Shi. He wanted her to use the Shi family’s money to invest in a project but was rejected. Recently, they are starting this project. Madam Shi… I’m afraid she is different from the one you previously knew. I have to say that you have married a good woman.”

“Oh really?” Shi Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Shu steadily. She was indeed different. Her aura had become restrained and dignified, but she actually gave off a very familiar vibe.

“Do you think there are two people in the world who look exactly the same but have completely different personalities?” Shi Xiao asked Li Ci.

Li Ci didn’t understand what Shi Xiao meant.

Shi Xiao had already stood up and was about to leave with Yuan Shu and the others..
