1736 Burning Pain In Her Heart
However, Xu Zhiqin failed. Everyone couldn’t help but mourn for him for a few minutes.
Wu Zijing didn’t expect Xu Zhiqin to tell He Xuyan what had just happened.
At this moment, he looked extremely embarrassed. “Mr. He, I really didn’t know that she was your fiancée just now…”
This woman had rejected him many times. If she wasn’t He Xuyan’s fiancée, would she still pester him like this?
Xu Zhiqin just didn’t want to give him face.
“If I had nothing to do with Xuyan, you wouldn’t have given up even after I rejected you, huh?” Xu Zhiqin asked calmly.
Wu Zijing didn’t expect that although this woman looked gentle, she was actually so unyielding.
He stammered, unable to speak.
He Xuyan did not look at him. His black eyes were indifferent, and there was not much emotion in them. He looked at Wei Yuxin. “Zhiqin, didn’t you have her accompany you in just now?”
Wei Yuxin didn’t expect that she would be blamed for this. She looked embarrassed and quickly explained, “I received a call when I came in just now. I didn’t see Wu Zijing harassing Zhiqin. Otherwise, I would definitely have interfered.”
“It’s okay. Fortunately, Wei Yumeng helped us out,” Xu Zhiqin said.
He Xuyan nodded at Wei Yumeng to express his gratitude.
His attitude toward Wei Yuxin and Wei Yumeng was completely different.
Everyone knew that Wei Yumeng had no status in the Wei family, and Wei Yuxin would take over the family business in the future. However, the difference in He Xuyan’s attitude was really obvious.
She had just helped out Xu Zhiqin once, but she was already treated differently.
Seeing this, Wei Yuxin felt a burning pain in her heart, but she had no choice but to endure it.
When Wu Zijing realized that He Xuyan didn’t say anything to him, he relaxed a little.
He Juncheng asked, “Sister-in-law, do you want to drink or something? And Su Bei, what do you want to drink?”
“They don’t drink.” He Xuyan refused directly.
Especially Su Bei. If his parents knew that he had brought Su Bei here to drink, they would definitely treat him ruthlessly. Lu Heting wouldn’t even get the chance to flare up.
He Juncheng smiled and said, “Alright, the two of you will drink something else.”
He eagerly handed over the menu. “Take a look at what drinks you want. We ordered a lot of alcohol just now, so we’ll need some time to finish it all.”
Only then did He Xuyan raise his black eyes and say calmly, “Wu Zijing.”
Wu Zijing shuddered and stood up involuntarily. “I’m here!”
He stood up straight.
“We ordered too much alcohol. Didn’t you say that you were going to treat my fiancée to a drink tonight? Then let me give you a toast now.” He Xuyan’s voice was still neither cold nor hot.
Everyone understood that Xu Zhiqin wouldn’t let go of the matter just like that. It turned out that
Wu Zijing cried, but he didn’t dare to disobey. He went forward and picked up a glass of wine. “Thank you for your toast, Mr. He. I’ll drink it now!”
He drank it all in one gulp.
“Good alcohol tolerance,” He Xuyan said calmly. “Here’s another toast to you.”
Wu Zijing didn’t dare to refuse. He downed another glass.
Just now, everyone had ordered strong alcohol, including whiskey. Usually, they drank it with ice.
The two glasses that He Xuyan gave Wu Zijing were without any ice. If he drank like this, no matter how good his alcohol tolerance was, he might not be able to take it.
“Here’s to you,” He Xuyan continued.
He always said something indifferent.
Someone naturally came over to help pour more whiskey for Wu Zijing.
Soon, Wu Zijing had drunk more than ten glasses. Even though he usually had a high alcohol tolerance and was used to drinking and fooling around, he couldn’t stand drinking so many glasses in such a short time.
His face turned the color of liver. He panted, but he didn’t dare to refuse to drink.
He Xuyan kept toasting him. Naturally, someone would be there to pour Wu Zijing more whiskey.
Wu Zijing had no choice but to keep drinking.
Xu Zhiqin and Su Bei did not persuade him. Like He Xuyan, their expressions were indifferent.
They all knew that if they were really fooled by Wu Zijing’s little trick during their first meeting, it would not only hurt their reputations in the future but also He Xuyan’s dignity.
Did Wu Zijing really not know their identities?
Maybe he really didn’t and it was an honest mistake.
Perhaps he knew, but he felt that He Xuyan wouldn’t care too much about women. After all, they were just women. This so-called sister of his also came out of nowhere, so he, Wu Zijing, dared to tease her.
Whether it was intentional or not, Wu Zijing’s actions meant that he was either stupid or bad.
Such a stupid person naturally had to bear the punishment he deserved.
In the end, He Xuyan stopped talking and only nodded. The people around him understood his cue and hurriedly filled Wu Zijing’s glass.
Wu Zijing drank half of it with trembling hands before vomiting it out. The stench was overwhelming.
Someone immediately called a waiter in and tidied up the scene in a moment.
Then, someone quickly refilled his glass.
Wei Yuxin couldn’t stand it anymore. Was it necessary to do this for Xu Zhiqin?
Besides, had Xu Zhiqin suffered any substantial harm?
“Xuyan, I think Wu Zijing is about to die. The whiskey is too strong; it’ll hurt his stomach and body. Why bother?” she persuaded him. “If he doesn’t know what’s good for him, he should be punished. Everyone knows that he’s in the wrong, but if something happens to him after drinking so much, it won’t be good for Zhiqin’s reputation.”
“Oh, what’s wrong?” He Xuyan asked calmly.
“After all, it’s because of Zhiqin…” Wei Yuxin said.
He Xuyan raised his eyelashes. “So it’s someone else’s problem that Wu Zijing harassed others?”
Wei Yuxin: “…”
She said in a low voice, “That’s not what I meant. But we’re friends, after all. We meet often…”
“From tonight onward, I probably won’t have a friend like him.” He Xuyan’s tone was cold and indifferent.
This meant that the He family would not collaborate with the Wu family in the future.
Although He Xuyan did not inherit the He family’s business, he still had some say at home.
Everyone was stunned. They all knew that he had always been lukewarm. No one could move his heart, and at the same time, no one could offend him.
That was how people like Wu Zijing could freeload off others while drinking and eating with He Xuyan. He could also earn some money for his family business.
He Xuyan would never say anything because of their actions.
Everyone had always thought that he was so indifferent that nothing mattered to him.
But now, it seemed that… He Xuyan had a bottom line.
Everyone silently looked at Xu Zhiqin and then at Su Bei. Their thoughts became clear.
