Moreover, at this reception, he not only prepared champagne but also juices and other beverages. When the time comes, if Jiang Xue doesn’t drink champagne, he can have her drink juice.

Jin Hao had a clever plan, but Jiang Xue was unaware of it. Although she didn’t like the idea of being pulled into social events by him, she didn’t refuse.

In any case, getting to know some people is good. The more people you know, the more you drink, but Jiang Xue drank water; a glass of water was quickly finished.

Jiang Xue wanted to have someone pour her some plain water again but was persuaded not to, and instead, she was offered juice or something similar. Watching those people drink with Jin Hao, Jiang Xue’s gaze flickered. She wanted to see what Jin Hao was up to, so she reluctantly picked up the juice.

Holding the juice, Jiang Xue sniffed it and found no issue, then she took a sip. Seeing her drink, Jin Hao’s lips subtly curved upward as he secretly signaled the waiter.

The waiter, noticing Jin Hao’s signal, quietly left the hall and returned with several glasses of spiked juice.

With so many people clinking glasses with Jiang Xue, a glass of juice was quickly finished. Jin Hao watched and gestured to the waiter, and soon several glasses of juice were placed in front of Jiang Xue.

She looked at these glasses of juice and cast a deep glance at Jin Hao before picking up one of them. The Little Fox in the space chimed in, saying to Jiang Xue, "Woman, these juices are spiked; don’t drink them, or trouble will arise."

Jiang Xue naturally knew they were spiked, and she had even smelled what was added. However, for her, this was not an issue because she carried an antidote.

This kind of sedative is actually quite easy to counteract. So, before Jiang Xue drank the juice, she took out a handkerchief and lightly dabbed it on her lips, applying the antidote.

After applying the antidote, Jiang Xue picked up the juice and drank it. Seeing Jiang Xue finally drink the spiked juice, Jin Hao was overjoyed.

After drinking the juice and socializing for a while, Jiang Xue suddenly felt a bit dizzy, so she said to Jin Hao, "Mr. Jin, I’m feeling a bit tired, I’d like to rest for a while."

"Tired? Are you okay?" Jin Hao appeared anxious but was secretly thrilled. He greeted his friends and then helped Jiang Xue towards the rest room.

Upon reaching the rest room, Jiang Xue hadn’t completely passed out yet, so she said to Jin Hao, "Mr. Jin, thank you, I just need to rest for a bit. You should go entertain your guests. Don’t let me spoil their fun."

Jin Hao originally wanted to stay but feared raising Jiang Xue’s suspicion, so he had to leave. However, he pretended not to be reassured and said to Jiang Xue, "Miss Jiang, if you feel unwell at all, make sure to let me know immediately."

"Alright, I know, you go ahead!" Jiang Xue dismissed Jin Hao and then sat on the sofa.

Once she heard Jin Hao’s footsteps fade away, Jiang Xue showed no sign of dizziness. She took out her phone and sent Huo Cong a message telling him her location.

Before long, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Xue got up and glanced through the gap in the door. Upon discovering it was Huo Cong, she immediately let him in.

When Huo Cong came in, he wasn’t alone; he brought a woman with him. Jiang Xue had Huo Cong place the woman on the sofa, then swapped clothes with her and quickly applied some makeup.
