Rona Muir acted intimately toward Jiro Hirayama, making Sean Kerr almost rush out uncontrollably.
He couldn't believe Rona Muir would fall for someone else so quickly!
And the guy is several years younger than her!
But Rona Muir was leaning her whole body against Jiro Hirayama, not sparing Sean Kerr a single glance.
"Can we cut the cake together now? It's Miss Emily Gong's big day, let's not delay sharing this joy with everyone!" Rona Muir deliberately changed the subject, not wanting to stand there and be the center of attention.
Miss Emily Gong seemed to notice something.
But years of upbringing taught her not to show anything, no matter what happened today.
Miss Emily Gong immediately pretended not to notice anything and invited Sean Kerr to cut the birthday cake together.
Mrs. Kerr hadn't expected Rona Muir to be unaffected, and her face darkened.
But then she thought, if Rona Muir has another man, she won't cling to her son anymore, right?
Mrs. Shang snorted coldly this time and let Mu Ruona go.
Gu Xixi stood below, watching Mu Ruona anxiously. She said to Mo Zixin, "Mrs. Shang is really too much!"
"Mrs. Shang has always been domineering," Mo Zixin said quietly. "Today is obviously a trap. If it weren't for Jiro Hirayama, things would have gotten ugly."
Gu Xixi nodded silently, her impression of Mrs. Shang growing worse.
What really made Gu Xixi angry was Shang Ke.
He just stood there watching his own mother make things hard for Mu Ruona, and still did nothing!
No wonder Ruona gave up on him!
Mu Ruona quickly finished cutting the cake, then hurried off with Jiro Hirayama.
It was the first time Jiro Hirayama had ever had his hand held by a woman. A strange electric current seemed to pass from her palm to his, making his face flush.
Mu Ruona paid no attention to Jiro Hirayama at all. She walked straight over to Gu Xixi and said, "Xixi, come sit outside with me."
Gu Xixi responded and left with Mu Ruona.
Their departure meant they missed out on the drama that unfolded soon after.
The drug Jiro Hirayama gave to Wang Zhen started working!
Wang Zhen thought the Yamaguchi-gumi wouldn't screw him over, but...
Jiro Hirayama really did set him up!
Just after the cake was cut, Wang Zhen was still playing the successful businessman, socializing with others.
Suddenly, a wave of heat hit his abdomen, and Wang Zhen felt like he was engulfed in flames—he was not okay!
At that moment, a maid came over to serve cake.
Wang Zhen suddenly found the cake-serving maid absolutely irresistible.
His mind went blank, and he suddenly grabbed the maid and rolled on the spot.
The sudden turn of events left everyone at the scene stunned!
This was Wang Zhen, after all!
Even if he had concubines outside and brought them home, it was always done in secret.
On such an important occasion, he actually did this in public...
After that, the whole scene turned into utter chaos.
Jiro Hirayama's drug was just too effective.
People who play with biochemistry have brains like precision instruments.
Otherwise, Mr. Yun wouldn't keep trying to recruit Jiro Hirayama into the Yun family lab.
Yun family's pharmaceuticals paired with Jiro Hirayama's biochemistry talent are a perfect match!
So, with such an effective chemical attack, Wang Zhen put on quite a show—hugging the cake-serving maid and starting to "exercise" in front of everyone.
The scene left everyone’s faces flushed with embarrassment, looking absolutely awful.
Especially the Gong family, as hosts—they were totally dumbfounded.
If word got out about what happened today, it would be the ultimate humiliation!
Shang Ke had been searching for Mu Ruona from the start, but after all that time, he still couldn’t find her.
Qiao Qi was right.
Don’t be fooled by everyone hanging out together—Yin Sicheng is the wolf king, while Shang Ke is, at best, a husky.
When it comes to chasing a wife, if Shang Ke had even a tenth of Yin Sicheng’s ruthlessness, he wouldn’t be in this mess.
Mrs. Shang knows Shang Ke’s weakness perfectly, and she keeps using it to drive Mu Ruona further away from him.
While Shang Ke was searching for Mu Ruona everywhere, Gu Xixi was already outside with her, cooling off in the breeze.
"Xixi, I feel awful." With only Gu Xixi by her side, Mu Ruona finally let down her guard, hugging Gu Xixi helplessly and sobbing softly: "Xixi, I’m so miserable! Didn’t Shang Ke say he’d never give up on me? Just a few days ago, he swore he wouldn’t, but today he gave in to his family and got engaged to Miss Gong! Xixi, what am I, really? Is it just because I was born a commoner that I have to suffer this kind of humiliation?"
"Why do they treat me like this? What did I do wrong? Just because I look attractive, do I have to be misunderstood, mocked, and trampled on?" Mu Ruona sobbed. "All these years, I’ve known exactly what those men wanted from me. But what can I do? I was born this way—it doesn’t mean I’m here for anyone’s amusement. If only Shang Ke could be a little more determined, just a little, maybe I’d have the courage to chase my own happiness."
"But why do they have to crush me like this? To make me watch him stand there, smiling with another woman, getting engaged—is this a declaration of war or a death sentence? Xixi, why is it so hard to find pure love?" Mu Ruona’s tears soaked Gu Xixi’s shoulder.
Gu Xixi gently patted Mu Ruona’s shoulder, comforting her.
"If you can’t give it, then don’t mess with me. Don’t mess with me if you can’t handle it," Mu Ruona’s emotions collapsed further. "I’m so tired! I’m really, really tired!"
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here." Gu Xixi comforted her, "No matter what happens, we’ll stick together! No one can tear us apart! If love lets you down, you still have friendship! Remember when I lost my memory, you never gave up on me. Now that you’re heartbroken, I won’t give up on you either! Don’t cry—bad people will laugh. If anyone should cry, let it be them!" Gu Xixi coaxed Mu Ruona like a child.

Mu Ruona suddenly let go of Gu Xixi, wiped her tears hard, and shouted, "Right, let them cry! Xixi, come drink with me! Tonight we’re not going home until we’re drunk!"
With that, Mu Ruona grabbed Gu Xixi and stopped a waiter, taking all the strong liquor from his tray and downing them, one after another.
She’s going to kill herself drinking like this—at this rate, there’s no way she’s making it home tonight!
Just as Gu Xixi was getting anxious, she turned around and saw Jiro Hirayama approaching.
Gu Xixi’s eyes lit up—time to call for backup!
Gu Xixi quickly called Jiro Hirayama over: "Think of something! Don’t let her keep drinking like this! If she gets too drunk, something bad will happen!"
Jiro Hirayama had come out specifically to look for Mu Ruona. Seeing her drinking heavily, he rushed over.
Jiro Hirayama glanced at the baijiu in Mu Ruona’s hand and immediately said, "That’s 62% alcohol. With her current condition, more than 100 grams will get her drunk, over 500 grams will cause stomach burns and vomiting, and over 1,000 grams could lead to alcohol poisoning and sudden death in an hour…"
Gu Xixi’s face went pale. Jiro Hirayama, what do you mean by that?
Are you cursing her or something?
I’m not in class right now, why are you telling me all this useless stuff?
Annoyed, Gu Xixi shoved Mu Ruona at Jiro Hirayama, giving him a sideways look. "She’s your problem now!"
With that, Gu Xixi turned and walked away.
"Hey, hey, hey…" Jiro Hirayama was left dumbfounded.
He only came to check things out, not to take over!
Besides, she’s drunk and leaning all over him—he’s still a virgin, okay?
Mu Ruona was already drunk and dazed, lying on Jiro Hirayama, but still thought he was Gu Xixi. Slurring, she kept talking: "Xixi, why do they bully me like this? What did I do wrong? It’s not enough to embarrass me in N City—they want me to be humiliated in the capital too."
Jiro Hirayama’s face turned red as he held Mu Ruona, feeling her soft body pressing against him. He thought he might not survive this.
Mu Ruona opened her eyes slightly, but Jiro Hirayama’s face just got blurrier and blurrier.
"Who… who are you…?" Mu Ruona’s brain had crashed—no chance of rebooting.
Seeing how drunk Mu Ruona was, Jiro Hirayama—who’d never taken care of anyone before—was totally at a loss. He could only say, "You’ve had too much to drink. Let me help you to a lounge to rest."
Jiro Hirayama was skinny, so helping Mu Ruona up was actually pretty tough.
Honestly, drunk people are way stronger than usual.
Mu Ruona was wearing high heels, stumbling and nearly dragging Jiro Hirayama down with her.
Jiro Hirayama found a random lounge and helped Mu Ruona inside.
Mu Ruona walked in, kicked off her shoes, and looked up at Jiro Hirayama’s blushing face.
"Hey, handsome, who are you? What are you doing in my room?" Mu Ruona suddenly reached out and pinched Jiro Hirayama’s chin.
As the second son of the Hirayama family, Jiro Hirayama had never experienced anything like this before.
To the Japanese, he was considered pretty scary!
If you messed with him, you’d end up as a test subject!
No one dared tease him like this!
But right now, Mu Ruona was doing just that!
Before Jiro Hirayama could react, Mu Ruona’s seductive, delicate face suddenly moved closer—and before he knew it, she bit his lips.
The next second, Jiro Hirayama was completely frozen!
He only had time for one thought in his head: "Ah, I’m still a virgin!..."
