Wei Yu’s face darkened. “Can you drink it?”
Pei Jiao raised her head and puffed out her chest. She cleared her throat. “Of course I can drink. If you don’t believe me, wait and see me drink Lin Buzheng down.”
Lin Zheng:
Initially, Lin Zheng did not want to drink with Pei Jiao because he felt that firstly, it was because Pei Jiao was a girl, and secondly, he could not drink to his heart’s content through Wei Yu. However, after Pei Jiao said that, he immediately became anxious.
“Drink me down? I want to see how capable you are!” Lin Zheng immediately took it seriously.
Pei Jiao was also very serious. Just as she was about to get up with the wine glass in her hand, she was stopped by Wei Yu again. “Who was drunk after drinking two bottles of Rio last time?”
Pei Jiao was exasperated. “You’re not allowed to mention it!”
Wei Yu said, “I’m just reminding you not to force yourself.”
“Who’s trying to be brave?” Pei Jiao was extremely unhappy. “Even if you don’t drink, you can’t stop me from drinking, right? I was originally happy tonight.
I’ll beat you up if you stop me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Everyone looked at Pei Jiao again. Even Wei Yu was stunned.
Pei Jiao realized that she had gone too far. Just as she felt so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say to smooth things over, Matriarch Wei laughed out loud. “Hahahahahaha…!”
Right on the heels of that was Wen Qiong and Lin Zhengs laughter. Soon, the entire dining table was filled with demonic laughter. Other than Pei Jiao, who was still in an awkward and confused state, and Wei Yu, who was being scolded, Wei Yu did not seem angry at all. He stood up and pulled Pei Jiao back to sit down. Then, he placed his hand on Pei Jiao’s shoulder. “I’ll drink. Eat well.’
Pei Jiao muttered, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to drink it?”
Wei Yu said, “I’m afraid you’ll beat me up.”
Pei Jiao:
She had not seen a smile on Wei Yu’s face all night, but after Pei Jiao said that she wanted to beat him up, a long-lost smile appeared on his face. His mood seemed to improve a lot. Pei Jiao was puzzled. Could this person be in need of a beating??
After dinner, Wei Yu still drank a lot, but there was no drunkenness on his face. Instead, Lin Zheng was a little drunk and began to sing. The smile on
Matriarch Wei’s face did not stop. She and Wen Qiong beat the rhythm of Lin Zheng, who was singing beside them.
As Lin Zheng sang, he began to dance again. Ji He sang beside him. Lin Zheng danced and pulled Wen Qiong along. The atmosphere was extremely cheerful.
Pei Jiao smiled especially happily at the side. Seeing that Lin Zheng and Wen Qing were dancing especially well, she was eager to try. She turned to Wei Yu and said, “Shall we dance too?”
Wei Yu replied gently, “Okay.”
Soon, Pei Jiao and Wei Yu joined the dance floor. Pei Jiao was not good at dancing and could only follow them. Wei Yu, who had always been cold, gradually became uncoordinated under Pei Jiao’s lead. He quickly took back the lead and let her catch up with him.
This night was the happiest night Pei Jiao had been in the base for so long. Looking at every smile in front of her, she couldn’t help but think how good it would be if she could always be so happy.
After the meal, Pei Jiao pulled Matriarch Wei and Wen Qiong to play mahjong.
Wei Yu was a little drunk. At first, he could still force himself to watch Pei Jiao play mahjong with them. After watching for a while, he couldn’t take it anymore and closed his eyes to take a nap.
Pei Jiao’s card skills were indeed impressive. She had won a lot of money alone. Matriarch Wei, who had been a veteran for so many years, had to admit that she was inferior.
Wen Qiong asked, “Who did you learn to play mahjong from?”
Pei Jiao replied on a whim, “My sister-in-law, but I’m not asking her to teach me. I saw that she was very good at cards, so I learned it because 1 thought it was interesting.”
Wen Qiong gave Pei Jiao a thumbs up. “Impressive. Self-taught.”
After playing cards for a few rounds, Matriarch Wei could not take it anymore and could only retreat first. It was clearly impossible for Pei Jiao and Wen Qiong to fight each other. This banquet could only end here.
Pei Jiao called Ji He over. “Carry him back.”
Ji He rubbed his hands and said, “How would I dare to carry Young Master? Just hold him.”
Pei Jiao thought about it and agreed. Wei Yu cared about his reputation, so he said, “Alright. Hold him steady. Don’t drop him.”
Ot course, Pei Jiao did not have to say this. Ji He would definitely help her up.
It took seven to eight minutes to reach the accommodation building. Ji He asked, “Miss Fei Yi, should we help Young Master to your side or his side?”
Pei Jiao thought for a moment. “To my side.”
Ji He chuckled in his heart and nodded steadily. “Okay, Miss Fei Yi..”
