Chapter 16

"I definitely don't have any other thoughts, Sister Qiao. You can do whatever you want. Isn't it okay if I don't care?" Zhang Dahai remembered what happened when Qiao Xin mentioned that time. After that, the instructor didn't dare to let Ruoan drink again.

He felt a surge of fear in his heart. If he didn't stop it and helped Wang Rongrong, who forced Ruoan to drink, he could already imagine that he would face the death stare of his mentor.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dahai regretted it very much: "I shouldn't have said so much!"

"Does anyone else have anything to say? Or do you think that I, a senior, am not worthy of allowing a junior to have a drink with me?" Qiao Xin looked at them and asked.

Everyone present looked away and shook their heads, indicating that they did not dare to express any opinion.

Well, they can't afford to offend any of them, so just shut up.

Both Qiao Xin and Wang Rongrong have connections, and judging from Wang Rongrong's personality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, it seems that the Qiao family is more powerful than the Wang family, so they don't have to worry.

Qiao Xin nodded with satisfaction.

"Xuemei Wang, drink it." Qiao Xin pushed the wine glass forward, her tone threatening and provocative.

Wang Rongrong looked at the wine glass in front of her, her face turned gloomy. She gritted her teeth, stared fiercely at Qiao Xin, and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Qiao Xin's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. She picked up her cup, took a sip, then shook her head and said sarcastically, "Why would I need the police if I'm sorry? It's your turn."

After saying that, she raised the wine glass, placed it in front of Wang Rongrong, and motioned for her to take it.

Wang Rongrong knew in her heart that if she didn't drink the wine, Qiao Xin would never let her go easily.

In desperation, she had to reach out, slowly picked up the glass of red wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Although she was not completely unable to drink, she had been frequenting bars since she was eighteen, so a glass of red wine was not difficult for her.

However, at this moment she felt unprecedented humiliation.

Wang Rongrong tightly grasped the cup in her hand, the anger in her heart continued to burn. She could not forget the real purpose of today - to make Xia Ruo'an infamous.

As long as this goal can be achieved, then the grievances and drinking that I have suffered are nothing. Thinking of this, Wang Rongrong's mood calmed down a little.

At the same time, Xia Ruoan might not have realized that her milk had been drugged. Moreover, the drug took effect at the perfect time, just when they were about to leave. At that time, they only needed to take Xia Ruoan away.

Wang Rongrong thought about these plans silently, with a hint of viciousness in her eyes. She knew very well that this operation needed to be done with caution and there must be no mistakes. And now, she had to be patient for the time being.

Xia Ruoan saw this and tried to stop it, but was stopped by Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu shook his head gently at her to stop her.

Xia Ruoan understood what she meant and realized that it was obviously Qiao Xin protecting herself. If she stepped forward to help Wang Rongrong at this time, it would undoubtedly be a slap in Qiao Xin's face.

In fact, Xia Ruoan was mainly worried that Wang Rongrong would really have problems drinking, after all, she had a schedule tomorrow. But Qiao Yu knew that Xia Ruoan's worries were a bit unnecessary. Although Xia Ruoan didn't know, he was very aware of the situation.

Wang Rongrong often went to bars and other entertainment venues. After all, the relationship between the two families was not very harmonious, so they knew each other to some extent.

Don’t be fooled by Wang Rongrong’s innocent appearance; in fact, she is not.

"Don't worry, a glass of red wine is nothing to her. She has been frequenting bars and other places since she was eighteen, all influenced by her cousin." Qiao Yu explained softly to Xia Ruoan.

After hearing this, Xia Ruoan confirmed that this matter would not affect tomorrow's schedule, so he stopped paying attention to Wang Rongrong.

However, she still stood up and took the wine glass from Qiao Xin's hand: "Your health is not very good, you can't drink too much wine, it's enough."

"Okay, I'll listen to my Ruoan." Qiao Xin nodded happily, no longer talking about drinking, and obediently let Xia Ruoan pull her back to sit down.

After Qiao Xin sat down, she remembered something and looked at Xia Ruoan with some worry and said, "By the way, Ruoan, have you prepared everything for your trip this time? Is there anything you forgot? If you need anything, just tell me. I have plenty of supplies and I can bring you an extra portion."

This is not Qiao Xin bragging. She is the one who goes out most often among their group. She spends more time in the mountains and forests than in school. She is very experienced and has prepared a lot of things. It can be said that she is very comprehensive.

"Thank you, senior, but I have already sorted them out according to the list you gave me before." Xia Ruoan replied with a smile.

In fact, Xia Ruoan has always been the kind of person who will never compromise herself under the circumstances, so she will prepare everything she can think of in case of emergency.

Hearing Xia Ruo'an say this, Qiao Xin nodded with confidence and reminded: "That's fine, it's always right to be fully prepared. If you find that there is anything missing, be sure to tell me in time!"

Xia Ruoan smiled and nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will definitely not be polite to Senior Sister."

"Well, don't be polite to me, just follow me and I'll protect you." Qiao Xin gently comforted Xia Ruoan. She knew Xia Ruoan might be a little nervous and scared, but she hoped to make Xia Ruoan feel at ease with such words.

"Then I'd like to thank you first." Xia Ruoan showed a grateful smile, with a gleam of trust in her eyes. She knew that with Qiao Xin's company, she would have more courage to face unknown challenges.

At this time, Qiao Yu noticed the awkward atmosphere in the room. He stood up and shouted excitedly: "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate our departure tomorrow!" Everyone responded and raised their glasses of wine or drinks.

"Okay, let's do one!" Everyone shouted in unison, full of anticipation and excitement.

Xia Ruoan also smiled, picked up her milk cup and took a sip.

However, when she tasted the milk, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled - the taste of this milk seemed to be different from what she usually drank.

At the same time, Wang Rongrong, who was sitting next to her, gradually quieted down. She stared at Xia Ruoan silently, with an indescribable emotion in her eyes. Although she was no longer as noisy as before, her eyes always stayed on Xia Ruoan, and Xia Ruoan looked a little scared.

Xia Ruoan planned to stay away from Wang Rongrong in the future. This person was hostile to her. Although she didn't know why, it was right to stay away from her.

When it was almost over, Qiao Xin received a call from her parents, saying that they were going home.

Qiao Xin could only look at Xia Ruoan apologetically, "I can't accompany you back to school this time."

Xia Ruoan shook her head and handed her the bag in her hand. "I grew some vegetables and tomatoes, and I left some for you, senior sister."
