At this moment, the bodyguards Xia Chuyi brought were guarding every main entrance, afraid of any unexpected events.

However, what they didn’t know was that this kind of defense couldn’t stop Xia Chuyi’s "active cooperation."

That is to say, with Xia Chuyi’s "active cooperation," a little cover from Guo Jiumin’s people would allow Xia Chuyi to successfully leave the cinema through the side door used by film crew, avoiding detection.

The Ou Family’s bodyguards never expected Xia Chuyi to be so cooperative, and thus they never noticed.

They would have to wait until the movie finished playing and the film crew’s event ended to find out.

A short distance away from the cinema, a black car stopped in front.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi immediately furrowed her brow slightly and said, "Where are you planning to take me?"

The person receiving her said nothing, merely opening the car door.

Then, a voice came from the car.

"Young Madam Huo, please don’t worry, just get in the car." Sitting in the back seat was Guo Jiumin, who said to Xia Chuyi, "I merely want Young Madam Huo to go to a quieter place to chat."

"After all, Young Madam Huo, you understand that what we need to discuss should be kept secret." Guo Jiumin said with a cheerful expression.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi looked at Guo Jiumin, frowning even more deeply.

This Guo Jiumin... Xia Chuyi recalled her previous encounters with him.

No mistake, no matter how "gentle" Guo Jiumin appeared on the surface, he always projected an air of a smiling tiger.

Seeing Xia Chuyi slightly hesitant, Guo Jiumin, with a meaningful expression, looked at Xia Chuyi and said, "What is it? Young Madam Huo doesn’t trust me?"

Xia Chuyi squinted her eyes, thinking about how to respond.

At this moment, not far away. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Sister?" It was Xia Pan, who had come with Huang Xiaoyun to see the movie stars.

Holding a bag of sunflower seeds, Xia Pan looked over at Xia Chuyi’s direction with some surprise.

"Why is Sister here?" Seeing Xia Chuyi, Xia Pan was very surprised.

However, beyond the surprise, Xia Pan was also very happy to see Xia Chuyi here.

Having seen Xia Chuyi, Xia Pan, who had just bought some sunflower seeds as snacks, wasn’t in a hurry to go back to find Huang Xiaoyun and Xia Ming, and instead excitedly ran towards Xia Chuyi.

"Sister, Sister!" Xia Pan called as she dodged through the crowd.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Chuyi immediately turned her head in response.

Then, just as she clearly saw the running Xia Pan, Xia Chuyi’s expression suddenly changed.

What’s going on? Why is Xia Pan here!

The reason Xia Chuyi came alone was to avoid involving others.

Who knew, she’d run into Xia Pan here!

"Sister, Sister, why are you here?" Xia Pan ran over, excitedly shouting, "Didn’t you say you were busy today and wouldn’t be watching a movie?"

Seeing Xia Chuyi, Xia Pan was very happy.

However, upon seeing Xia Pan, Xia Chuyi found she couldn’t smile at all.

Because Xia Pan’s words almost equated to betraying Xia Chuyi.

Clearly they had agreed to come together, but in the end, she came alone.

The implication was clear: Xia Chuyi didn’t trust Guo Jiumin.

Not knowing Guo Jiumin’s temperament, and fearing he might take his anger out on Xia Pan, Xia Chuyi immediately scolded Xia Pan, "What are you doing here instead of studying at home? Go back immediately!"

"Huh?" Xia Pan was taken aback and said, "Sister?"
