Chapter 63 "Wet"

Assistant Zhou scratched his head after receiving the message from his boss.

Invite Mr. Jiang to attend the cocktail party?

He was thinking about Mr. Jiang's schedule, and it seemed that this item was not included.

Suddenly.

He remembered that the owner of DM Winery, who had business cooperation with the group, had sent an invitation to Mr. Jiang last week.

Invite him to attend a tasting of the winery's new premium wine series.

Because of the conflict with the business trip schedule, the deputy general manager was appointed to represent General Manager Jiang in attending the meeting.

But even if I don't travel.

Assistant Zhou felt that President Jiang would most likely not accept the invitation in person.

It’s one thing that Mr. Jiang has no interest in alcohol.

More importantly, the winery owner is a chatterbox, especially after getting tipsy after a few drinks.

I can talk to President Jiang for a long time.

Although he was confused, Assistant Zhou still notified the person in charge of DM Winery as quickly as possible.

After all, Mr. Jiang's behavior and decisions have been quite different from before recently.

He's almost used to it.

-

Six o'clock in the evening.

In the Jiang family's study.

After dinner, Xu Wanci was sitting at his desk, concentrating on drawing his own design.

The leisure area on the other side.

Jiang Yunyu sat on the plush blanket with his legs bent, his back against the sofa, one hand resting on his bent knee and the other hand casually stretched out on the sofa.

Looks lazy.

He read an English storybook with Jiang Yan, who sat next to him.

From time to time, she would explain to Jiang Yan the English words he didn't know in the picture book.

After entering the working state, Xu Wanci was focused and completely blocked out the external noise.

Not to mention that the father and son deliberately lowered their voices in order not to disturb her.

I don’t know how long it took.

Xu Wanci stretched and turned his head while sitting in the chair.

Then he raised his hand, pinched his neck, and turned to look at the leisure area.

An adult and a child were sitting next to each other, talking in low voices from time to time.

Out of work state.

All the sounds from the outside world entered her ears.

Unlike when he speaks Chinese, Jiang Yunyu's deep and magnetic voice seems more textured when he speaks English.

It is also gentler, like the whispers between lovers.

Xu Wanci rubbed his ears.

Leave the thoughts in your head behind.

Xu Wanci sat down at his desk again and continued to "work".

The study door opened and closed.

When she looked up again, Jiang Yan was the only one left in the leisure area.

"Baby, where's Daddy?"

Xu Wanci walked over and sat down next to him.

Jiang Yan looked up at her from the picture book, "Daddy has gone to work, Mommy."

Xu Wanci was drawing and drawing when her confused mind finally remembered that Jiang Yunyu seemed to have told her that there was a cocktail party.

Even though I'm so busy, I still take time to read with my son.

A role model for a father.

She responded and leaned over to look at the book in Jiang Yan's hand.

This look.

I almost fainted from looking at it.

I felt like there were swarms of mosquitoes flying in front of my eyes.

English readings...

It's still a bit too advanced for children of this age.

Xu Wanci swallowed his saliva and said, "Hey, can you read and understand everything?"

Jiang Yan shook his head.

Fortunately, she was not abandoned by human evolution.

Before Xu Wanci could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him speak again.

"Most of the time I can. Dad taught me some of the words I didn't understand."

Xu Wanci was ecstatic.

Suddenly I felt that if I could stay at the Jiang family until Jiang Yan went to school, I might be spared the pain of teaching children to do homework as described online.

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

-

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Aunt Liu took Jiang Yan back to her room to sleep.

Xu Wanci had just come out of the study and was washing up in the bathroom.

Butler Chen on the first floor was yawning when he suddenly heard the sound of a car engine braking at the door.

He hurried to greet him.

Jiang Yunyu stepped out of the car.

At the same time, a faint smell of alcohol entered Butler Chen's nose.

Sir, have you been drinking?

He was confused.

In the first few years after taking office as the head of the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang often had to drink and socialize.

But as the group grew bigger and its status in Beijing's wealthy circles soared, Mr. drank less and less frequently.

now……

I can't figure it out.

Butler Chen had no choice but to do his job well.

"Sir, shall I ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of hangover soup?"

Jiang Yunyu nodded his chin lightly and replied in a calm voice, "Hmm."

Come out of the bathroom.

Xu Wanci smelled the faint aroma of wine in the air.

Subconsciously, she raised her eyes and looked towards the compartment.

Sure enough, the lights were on.

It’s Jiang Yunyu who’s back.

Knock knock——

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Wanci walked over and opened the door.

The servant stood at the door holding a white porcelain bowl: "Madam, this is the sobering soup for the gentleman."

"good."

She nodded and took the bowl from the maid, feeling the warmth.

The door closed again.

Xu Wanci thought about it, walked to the cubicle and knocked on the door.

"The servant brought you some hangover soup."

"Okay, can you bring it in for me?"

The man's voice seemed even deeper than usual.

Oh, it’s no big deal.

Xu Wanci pushed open the door.

Come to think of it, this was her first time entering a cubicle.

The bedroom has a similar cool decor.

The floor was covered with a light gray carpet, and a long glass coffee table was placed in the middle, on which were placed several read financial magazines.

There was a bookcase against the left wall, filled with books, magazines, and various trophies for business achievements or charity.

Didn't look at it much.

Xu Wanci turned his head to the right to look for Jiang Yunyu.

The man was half lying on a dark sofa chair not far from the coffee table, looking tired.

His usually cold and handsome face was now stained with a faint blush.

His sharp black eyes were also blurred by the alcohol, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

She only took a quick glance and quickly looked away.

It fell on the sofa chair under him.

Although it was a recliner, it was actually bigger than the single bed she had rented in her previous life, and could even accommodate two of her lying flat.

Damn rich people.

Xu Wanci was inappropriately jealous.

She walked a few steps inside and put the bowl on the coffee table: "I put the hangover soup here for you."

"Remember to drink it."

After saying that, she left the cubicle and left the door ajar.

Just about to go back to bed.

Boom——

There was a dull thud, like the sound of a cup falling on a blanket.

Xu Wanci paused as he turned off the light.

He called out tentatively, "Jiang Yunyu?"

No one answered.

Thinking of the drunken state of the man he just saw, Xu Wanci felt a little worried.

I hope he didn't faint.

Is the boss's alcohol tolerance so low? Hasn't he developed any skills from social events?

I'm afraid something might happen to my financial sponsor.

Xu Wanci threw back the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the cubicle and knocked on the half-open door.

Still no one answered.

The cubicle was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Hello? Am I coming in?"

Xu Wanci lightly touched the door panel with his fingers and slowly pushed it forward.

The man was standing blankly beside the recliner, staring motionlessly at a wet spot on the sofa.

The areas wetted by the hangover soup are darker in color than other areas.

The air was thick with the sweet and spicy aroma of hangover soup.

It tastes like ginger and honey.

Uh oh.

It seems he has nowhere to sleep tonight.

Hearing the noise, the man turned around and stared at Xu Wanci.

"It's wet."

The corners of the man's eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were misty, revealing a bit of helplessness and sadness.

The voice is lost and hoarse.

It's like a big dog that happily goes out to play on a sunny day, and then gets drenched by the heavy rain and squats on the side of the road.

Feeling very aggrieved.
