745 Getting Drunk at the Banquet of the Season
“What are you apologizing for?” Lu Shaoyang was flabbergasted, and he asked without thinking. Shen Hanxing didn’t bother to answer him, so she slapped him again. “Don’t you know you must apologize when you’ve wronged someone? Who gave you the right to do so?”
“Shen Hanxing, don’t go too far!” Su Ling’s heart ached. She pounced over in tears. “Shaoyang, are you alright? This woman is unreasonable. She’s really a barbarian.”
“Is this the first day you know that I’m barbaric? I can be more brutal if you don’t apologize, ” Shen Hanxing said disdainfully. “Don’t waste my time. I have things to do.”
Lu Shaoyang was furious, but what could he do? He couldn’t win if he fought her. Even when the Lu family was still thriving, they hadn’t dared to go against the Ji family. Now that the Lu family was in trouble, their status was even lower. He could only swallow his price and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry. I spoke without thinking and offended Ji Furen.”
!!“If you were like this earlier, you wouldn’t have been beaten up, right?” Shen Hanxing scoffed coldly. Seeing that it was getting late, she picked up her handbag and said, “”Excuse me, I’ll take my leave now.”
Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling subconsciously stepped aside to make way for her. Halfway through, Shen Hanxing suddenly turned around and smiled as if she had remembered something. “By the way…”
Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling tensed up and looked at Shen Hanxing with fear. Pleased by their reaction, Shen Hanxing could not help but laugh. “As I’m in a good mood today, I have a piece of advice for young Madam Lu. If I were you, I wouldn’t offer the money. Only when you keep the money in your own hands can you have the final say.” As she spoke, a smile slowly bloomed on her face, like a demoness who could bewitch people. “Young Madam Lu, what do you think?” With that, she left with a barely audible laugh.
Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling stood still, their expressions were complicated.
“Shaoyang, don’t listen to Shen Hanxing’s nonsense!” Noticing Lu Shaoyang’s expression, Su Ling became anxious. “I definitely don’t have such thoughts. I really want to help you! I want to help the Lu Corporation! I love you so much, Shaoyang. You must know that I’m I’m telling the truth, right?”
“Silly girl, we grew up together. Of course, I believe you.” After a moment of silence, Lu Shaoyang raised his hand and touched the top of Su Ling’s head. He comforted her gently, “I believe that you truly love me.”
“Shaoyang, I knew you were the best.” Su Ling was touched and cheered. She wanted to give her heart to Lu Shaoyang. Lu Shaoyang asked as of casually, “Then… Did Mom and Dad agree to help?”
“Emm…” The smile on Su Ling’s face froze and she quickly said, “Mom and Dad just couldn’t think it through. Shaoyang, don’t worry, I’ll talk to them tomorrow. I’ll definitely convince them!”
Lu Shaoyang’s heart sank and he looked a bit upset. A dark light flickered in his eyes and he forced out a smile after a long while. “Okay, I believe you. It’s getting late. Let’s go home.” The two of them left hand in hand. They looked intimate on the surface but nurturing different thoughts inside.
Late at night, the Ji family’s house was plunged into darkness. Everyone had a regular routine and were already asleep. Only a small light was left on at the entrance of the living room.
“President Ji, be careful.” Chen Liang, the assistant, supported Ji Yan and asked in concern, “Are you really okay? Shall I help you to your room?”
Ji Yan’s expression was cold, as if everything was normal, but his deep eyes were empty. Obviously he was drunk.
“I’m fine,” Ji Yan waved his hand, leaned against the wall at the entrance, and exhaled a strong breath of alcohol. “You can go back now. I can manage.”
Seeing that Ji Yan could stand on his own, Chen Liang did not insist and turned to leave. Ji Yan leaned against the wall for a while and began to pull his tie and mumbled, “So hot…” Today, he had a meeting with a very important business partner, and had drunk a lot. At this time, the world in front of him was spinning, and his mind was in a mess. He didn’t take off his shoes or turn on the lights. He staggered into the living room. “Water…” He was so thirsty.
Click. At this moment, a light sound was heard, and a dim light shone from the second floor. Qiao Xi was standing at the top of the stairs in a body-hugging long gown. She looked down with a surprised expression. “President Ji? You came back so late?”
