Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Zhao Jiayu turned to look at Ji Yan, her brows slightly furrowed, her red lips slightly pouted, as if she was acting coquettishly, but also as if she was complaining: "By the way, Yanyan, I sent you so many messages, why didn't you reply to me? I was worried that something had happened to you."

There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, as if she was complaining. However, she did not notice that her words attracted the attention of the people around her. Some dissatisfied eyes, like sharp arrows, shot towards Ji Yan.

Ji Yan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by these gazes, and she hurriedly explained: "Jia Yu, I'm sorry, I was busy just now and didn't notice your message." There was a hint of apology in her voice, and it sounded like an explanation.

However, Zhao Jiayu didn't care about the looks of the people around her. She just looked at Ji Yan with concern and said softly, "It's okay, Yanyan, I know you and Mo Qing have a good relationship, it's not intentional, it's okay, I can understand."

At this moment, Mo Qing also noticed the strange atmosphere around her. She looked at Zhao Jiayu and Ji Yan, feeling a little anxious. She knew that these two good friends, one was outspoken and the other didn't like to explain. Such an occasion was undoubtedly a test for them.

So Mo Qing hurriedly tried to smooth things over. She stood up and said to the people around her with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, Jiayu and Yanyan are always like this, they have a good relationship." There was a hint of ridicule in her voice, as if she was joking, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

After hearing Mo Qing's explanation, the people around them all smiled in understanding. They looked at Zhao Jiayu and Ji Yan, knowing what to say and what not to say, and just picked up their glasses and drank silently.

Seeing this, Mo Qing took Shen Qingfei's hand and said, "Let's go dance together." to break the deadlock.

Qi Zhe also took the opportunity to invite Zhao Jiayu: "Jiayu, let's go and dance together." His voice was full of anticipation.

However, Zhao Jiayu shook her head gently. She looked at Qi Zhe with a smile and said, "Go ahead. I want to sit down and rest for a while." Her tone was full of apology.

Although Qi Zhe was a little disappointed, he still looked at Zhao Jiayu reluctantly: "Okay, I'll be back soon." After that, he turned and walked towards the dance floor.

Zhao Jiayu sat there, quietly observing everything around her. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if she was thinking about something important.

……

Watching the crowd heading towards the dance floor, Zhao Jiayu also stood up and walked towards the bar, grabbing two glasses of wine.

Zhao Jiayu stood at the edge of the bar, her eyes piercing through the crowd and landing on several figures walking towards the dance floor. She smiled gracefully, then gently took out a white pill from her handbag and carefully placed it in a wine glass on the marble table.

"Dong", the pill fell into the cup silently, and then disappeared immediately, as if nothing had happened. Zhao Jiayu exhaled lightly and turned to look at Ji Yan who was sitting next to her.

Ji Yan was dressed in black, looking a little lonely and desolate. She hadn't been to the bar for a long time. The cruel torture in the basement in her previous life made her full of fear of this place. Although she had been reborn, she still felt a little uncomfortable to integrate into everyone again.

"Yanyan!" Zhao Jiayu walked to Ji Yan and asked with concern, "How could Jiang Nansheng be so inconsiderate? He didn't even bother to accompany you when you were sick."

Ji Yan smiled slightly and shook her head. "No, I feel a little tired." She looked at the wine glass handed to her by Zhao Jiayu and slowly took it. "I have decided to cancel the engagement with him."

"What...what?" Zhao Jiayu seemed a little surprised. "Don't you love him very much? Why did you give up on him?"

Ji Yan raised her eyebrows and sighed softly, "Ahem, no need. I feel a little tired. I've waited for so long, but to no avail."

She paused and thought to herself, "I don't want the tragedy of my last life to happen again."

The reason for canceling the engagement now is just to avoid the tragedy of the previous life. But the suffering she endured in the previous life is strongly affecting Ji Yan's emotions. She is filled with endless sorrow and resentment. She brings the tequila in her hand to her lips and drinks it all. It is full of sweetness, sourness, bitterness and spiciness, making Ji Yan feel everything she has endured, from the sweetness of love at the beginning to the sorrow of jealousy, and the bitter unrequited love, to the sadness of her family leaving her and dying miserably. She looks into the distance with a helpless look, sighs and puts the empty glass on the marble table, then picks up another full glass and drinks it all, as if she wants to forget the pain she has experienced by getting drunk.

Zhao Jiayu didn't say anything else. She knew that Ji Yan's decision was well thought out. She picked up her glass and gently clinked it with Ji Yan's. "Then I wish you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you in the future."

Looking at Ji Yan's hazy eyes, Zhao Jiayu knew that the medicine was working.

"Yan Yan!" What's wrong with you? Are you drunk?

Ji Yan shook her head. She felt her mind was in a mess, as if a fog was covering her. She tried hard to see everything in front of her, but everything was blurry.

"I... I don't know..." She murmured to herself, "My head is so dizzy..."

Zhao Jiayu suggested, "Yanyan, stop drinking. Why don't you go to the bathroom and wash your face?"

Ji Yan nodded. She did feel a little dizzy. She staggered to her feet and walked to the bathroom in her high heels. She kept scooping up water and splashing it on her cheeks, trying to sober herself up. However, the effect of alcohol made her body feel hot and her mind became hazy.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes a little blurry. The memories of her previous life flooded into her mind like a tide. She remembered the dispute and misunderstanding between her and Jiang Nansheng, the figure of Zhao Jiayu playing tricks behind her, and the scene of Lin Wei lying on Jiang Nansheng's bed...
