Chapter 530: Chapter 530

At that moment, enlightenment struck He Jinxia, a sly glint passing through her eyes. She took a deep breath and said with great fervor, "Sister Qin, you can’t keep drinking, you’re already drunk. If you drink more, you’re going to throw up!"

Qin Siqin, her tongue tied, appeared visibly intoxicated: "No, you can’t drink either!"

He Jinxia let go of her hand and looked up at President Li, speaking loudly: "President Li, I am indeed allergic to alcohol. If I drink this cup and get a rash all over my body and faint right here, please remember to call an ambulance for me."

"Remember the ambulance must come quickly, otherwise my allergy might lead to shock. If the shock lasts too long, it can put my life in danger."

"President Li, I am young and ignorant. If I have offended you in the past, I hope you can forgive and forget, considering I am risking my life by drinking this alcohol!"

He Jinxia spoke very loudly, attracting the attention of the celebrities gathered around.

Upon hearing this, everyone involuntarily changed their expressions, looking at He Jinxia with mixed feelings.

They knew about her alcohol allergy, and such individuals should absolutely avoid alcohol. A tiny amount was manageable with medication to keep it under control.

But the drink in He Jinxia’s hand was no small matter.

If she really had an alcohol allergy, the drink in her hand might as well have been a lethal poison!

At this point, most celebrities began to view President Li with uneasy expressions.

The entertainment circle is so small, one often sees the same faces. Even if there were feuds among celebrities, it mostly involved undermining each other and stealing each other’s engagements, not escalating matters to life or death.

President Li was pushing He Jinxia to the brink of death!

Seeing the unfriendly looks from those around him, President Li’s face reddened with anger. He simply did not believe that He Jinxia was truly allergic to alcohol!

But now, he was in a tight spot and couldn’t take back what he had said earlier.

If he let He Jinxia not drink, where would his dignity lie, and what about the prestige of the Golden Custard Award Festival?

President Li looked around at his friends, hoping they would quickly come up with a solution.

But those who had been close by suddenly stepped back a few paces when they met his gaze, not daring to stand beside him.

Their eyes flickered cunningly; they did not want to provoke trouble.

If He Jinxia drank the alcohol and had a severe reaction requiring hospitalization, it would definitely not be kept secret and would surely be reported in the media.

A tarnished reputation was one thing, but they feared the possibility that He Jinxia might suffer a severe reaction leading to shock, or even death if not resuscitated in time. That could mean a jail sentence!

They were wealthy and only in the entertainment industry for fun and to indulge in relationships with young models, not to bear the burden of causing a death!

Seeing this, President Li was so angry he wished he could faint right then.

Seeing her plan succeeding, He Jinxia was satisfied. She glowered fiercely at the glass of white liquor in her hand and said with a heroic resignation:

"President Li, if I faint, please remember to call an ambulance for me. I beg you, I don’t want to die!" Thɪs chapter is updated by NovєlFіre.net

As soon as she finished speaking, she gently raised the glass of white liquor and slowly brought it to her lips.

President Li’s heart thudded with anxiety. Suddenly, he said, "You, don’t drink any more, you don’t have to!"

A cry of alarm rose from the crowd. It turned out Sheng Yan had swiftly entered the crowd at some point, reaching He Jinxia just as her lips touched the glass and quickly snatching it away!

Sheng Yan looked at President Li with a grim face and said expressionlessly, "I’ll drink this cup for her."

President Li was terrified out of his wits, hardly daring to let Sheng Yan drink.

Before he could even protest, Sheng Yan had already tilted his head back and gulped down the white liquor.

The scene suddenly became silent, and everyone didn’t dare to speak, afraid to enrage Sheng Yan!

President Li trembled as he said, "Presi-President Sheng, you...I..."

Sheng Yan shot him a glance and spoke indifferently, "Thank you, President Li, for your warm hospitality. Tonghua Entertainment will remember this."

He turned to look at He Jinxia, his usually cold eyes showing a trace of change as he asked softly, "Are you okay?"

He Jinxia regained her senses, her eyes slightly flashing, and she surreptitiously pinched her arm, nodding at Sheng Yan as she said, "Thank you, Brother Sheng Yan, I..."

Suddenly, she frowned deeply, her expression turning very serious, and she managed a wry smile, "I’m sorry, I might need to go buy some antihistamines first."

She raised one arm, the redness at a certain spot on her fair skin starkly conspicuous.

She said, "I accidentally spilled some wine on my arm, and I’m allergic."

Sheng Yan’s brow furrowed, and he stepped forward, decisively scooping her up, "I’ll take you to the hospital now."

President Li watched their retreating figures, feeling a rush of blood to his forehead, his body involuntarily trembling as he stumbled back a few steps, his face deathly pale.

It was over, truly over now!

His breath caught in his throat, President Li couldn’t breathe out, felt a headache coming on, and suddenly everything went black as he fainted!

The people around exclaimed in shock, all in a flurry.

"President Li has fainted!"

"Quick, call an ambulance!"

"Pinch his philtrum, see if that helps!"

It was indeed ironic; the ambulance should have been for He Jinxia, but in the end, it turned out to be President Li who was taken away in it.

Life is unpredictable!

Meanwhile, He Jinxia looked blankly at Sheng Yan, and only after they had exited the banquet hall did she finally realize what was happening and said sheepishly:

"You don’t need to take me to the hospital, just drop me at a pharmacy to buy some medicine."

Sheng Yan looked down at her and asked softly, "Really go to the pharmacy?"

Hearing him say this, He Jinxia realized that Sheng Yan knew she wasn’t really allergic and glared at him playfully, "We have to play the part fully!"

Sheng Yan nodded slightly, "Okay, to the pharmacy."

The winter night was cold, and a breeze made Jinxia shiver involuntarily, her arm breaking out in goosebumps from the cold wind.

However, she was fortunate to have a human furnace behind her, continuously radiating heat, so Jinxia wasn’t too cold.

Just as they were about to reach the car, He Jinxia suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice, "My injury is on my hand, not my leg; I can walk by myself, why do you have to carry me?"

Sheng Yan gave her a look and said lightly, "I wanted to hold you, so I held you."

This reasoning was indeed very sound and powerful.

Because the trouble at the banquet delayed their return, He Jinxia’s originally scheduled flight to Country M tonight had been rescheduled to tomorrow.

After playing their parts fully, the two of them returned to the company together and were called in for a meeting by their respective agents.
