Lin Li and Zhu Xinru had met at the landing of the staircase. Just then, a guest heading upstairs called out to them, "Excuse me, please let me pass."
Hearing this, Lin Li and Zhu Xinru exchanged a smile and a nod before parting ways.
Lin Li, who wanted to use the restroom, headed downstairs. Zhu Xinru, accompanied by her bodyguards, went up to the private VIP room on the fifth floor.
Back in the VIP room, Zhu Xinru's face was beaming with joy. Anyone could tell she was in a great mood.
Seeing the joyous look on Zhu Xinru's face, Zhao Xin and Li Qian, who had been chatting, were a little puzzled.
"Xinru, you just stepped out for a moment. Why are you so happy now that you're back? Did something interesting happen?" the straightforward Li Qian asked.
"Cousin, on my way back just now, I ran into the benefactor who saved my life when I was attacked by those thieves..." Zhu Xinru recounted her meeting with Lin Li to her cousin and aunt.
