Zeng Wenjie, who had struggled for most of his life, personally witnessed his good brother's wallet empty, his health ruined, his hair fall out, and him being cuckolded.
Then, thinking ab...
Chapter 289 Who can share her loneliness
The game Zeng Wenjie played was quite interesting. He dealt a card first, and then had to guess the size of the next card.
If you guess correctly, you can shout "pass" or continue guessing. If you guess wrong, you need to put the cards into your hand and count the number of cards at the end to drink a penalty.
The king is the biggest and the jack is the smallest. They are doubling cards and one counts as two.
If the number is 7 or 8, you cannot call out and must continue guessing.
Zeng Mi was very lucky. She got an Ace of Hearts right at the start. She called out "big", then a 2 came out, and then a "big" came out. She was greedy and called out "small", and then a 7 came out... Now, there was no way she could win.
Ye Yixiuan also thinks this game is very interesting. When the card is 2 or 3, you shout "big", but you may get an A. Sometimes, when the card is an A, you shout "big", but you may get a J.
Laughter and joy filled the private room, breaking up the dull atmosphere.
Even Ye Yixuan, who was as aloof as a queen, would point at the card and yell, "Do you have the guts to give me a small one? I'll shout big!"
"Oh... Xiao Wang, congratulations to Sister Xuan for getting what she wanted!" Zeng Wenjie turned over the cards and was immediately happy.
Ye Yixiuan slapped her forehead with a helpless smile and accepted the set of cards. Wow, there were fifteen or sixteen of them, including the Joker and the Jack.
Glass after glass of wine went down their stomachs quickly. Ye Yixiuan and Zeng Mi both had flushed faces and were drunk.
"Little brother, come here often in the future. I'll treat you to a drink." Zeng Mi smiled at Zeng Wenjie and gave him a business card.
"Remember to call me when you come, otherwise I'm afraid you will be dead on the street the next day." Ye Yixiuan looked at Zeng Wenjie with drunken eyes and said.
"Huh?" Zeng Wenjie felt a little creepy after hearing this. It shouldn't be that serious, right?
Ye Yixuan stood up and said, "Let's go back."
After she took a step forward, she staggered.
Zeng Wenjie hurried forward, stretched out his hands to hold her waist and forearm, and said, "Sister Xuan, you are a little drunk, please slow down."
Ye Yixuan held her forehead and smiled, saying, "I'm a little drunk, but I had a great time drinking today. I have to thank you, Xiao Zeng, for taking us two lonely people to play games."
Zeng Mi also stood up shakily and said, "I'll just rest in the teahouse. You guys can take a taxi back. Xiao Zeng, she's drunk. We'll have to seize the opportunity!"
After saying this, Zeng Mi laughed like a vixen.
"He doesn't dare." Ye Yixiuan reached out and pinched Zeng Wenjie's cheek, smiling and saying without her usual cold and majestic airs.
Zeng Wenjie really doesn't dare.
Although Ye Yixiuan is the type who makes a lot of money in three years and is not at a loss even if he gets the death penalty.
Zeng Wenjie helped the staggering Ye Yixiuan out of the teahouse. The cold wind made her headache worse and she felt even more dizzy.
"Sister Xuan, I'll take a taxi to take you home." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Well... Damn, I couldn't control myself this time and drank too much!" Ye Yixiuan said, shaking her head.
Zeng Wenjie looked at her in surprise, oh, she was swearing!
He could only pretend that he didn't hear it, so as to avoid being silenced when Sister Xuan sobered up the next day.
After getting in the taxi, Ye Yixuan felt dizzy and simply lay back on Zeng Wenjie's legs, holding her forehead and said, "I actually miss my mother too, but she left nothing for me."
Zeng Wenjie remembered that Ye Qiansheng said that he and Ye Yixiuan were half-sisters.
Judging from what Ye Yixiuan said, her mother should have passed away early as well.
Zeng Wenjie sat upright. Although he boasted to Ye Qiansheng that he wanted to be his brother-in-law, it was just talk.
A woman like Ye Yixiuan might flirt with you occasionally, which is harmless, but if you take physical action, I'm afraid she will die a very miserable death.
The taxi arrived at Ye Yixiuan's residence. She groped for the key in a daze and threw it to Zeng Wenjie.
"Unit 2, third floor...302." Ye Yixiuan said.
Zeng Wenjie helped Ye Yixiuan upstairs and opened the door with the key. It was a compact but exquisitely decorated apartment.
"What kind of wine did that bitch Zeng Mi mix? It's so damn strong..."
After Ye Yixiuan entered the room, she complained, pushed Zeng Wenjie away, slid to her knees on the spot, and then crawled towards the trash can using her hands and feet.
Zeng Wenjie thought to himself that he had better run away quickly, otherwise, if she recalled this embarrassing scene tomorrow, she would be killed!
However, seeing Ye Yixiuan crawling on the trash can and vomiting all over, he felt that it seemed a bit too much to leave like that, so he could only walk over and pat her back.
"Sister Xuan, take your time. I'll pour you a cup of hot water." Zeng Wenjie wiped her mouth with a tissue, then helped her sit down on the sofa.
Ye Yixuan leaned back on the sofa, tilted her head back, and took deep breaths. "This is a big deal. I'm going to be miserable tomorrow. It's all your fault for coming up with this card game."
"It's not my fault. It's because the wine Sister Zeng Mi mixed is so delicious." Zeng Wenjie shrugged and said.
He was rather timid when playing games, the kind of person who would shout out if a King was revealed, which made Ye Yixiuan and Zeng Mi look down on him, saying that they had never seen such a cowardly young man.
When Ye Yixiuan and Zeng Mi first played this game, they always wanted to deal with the player next to them. When they felt confident, they would shout and pile up the numbers. But when they really wanted to, a 7 or an 8 would come and they would be in trouble instantly.
After taking the hot water brought by Zeng Wenjie, Ye Yixiuan thanked him and took two big gulps. She felt that her churning stomach suddenly felt much better.
"Sister Xuan, please change your clothes before going to bed. I see that your clothes are stained with vomit." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Oh...Okay, Xiao Zeng, don't worry about me, go back." Ye Yixiuan said.
Zeng Wenjie took out the garbage bag and tied it up, saying, "Well, goodbye, Sister Xuan. I'll be leaving first. Next time we drink, let's take it easy!"
Ye Yixuan smiled and said, "Although I was drunk and dizzy and made a fool of myself, today's drink was the happiest I've had recently."
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy!"
This sentence made Ye Yixiuan stunned and fell into silence.
happy?
She has been missing this kind of positive emotion for a long time.
Are you happy?
Unhappy.
I am busy with work every day and have to maintain the image of a strong woman every day. I have to endure all minor illnesses and pains alone.
She couldn't help but think that it would be better if she were younger.
I have been working diligently to climb up these years. Now looking back, although I am standing at a high place, the road I have walked is empty and seems very lonely.
“Who can share my loneliness?”
Ye Yixiuan was thinking, and then her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Zeng Wenjie closing the door.
She couldn't help but smile. Alcohol really messes up the brain. How could a great Ye Yixiuan like me have such a pretentious moment?
She turned on the speaker and pressed play.
"Forgive me for my uninhibited and free-loving life~"
Wasn't she also a bird in a cage? It was just that Zeng Mi was confined by others, while she was confined by her family and work.
Just as I was about to lie down, I received a call from Zhuang Aimin.
Ye Yixuan hurried to the bathroom, rubbed her face vigorously with cold water, and said calmly, "Leader."
Zhuang Aimin said slowly, "Did you get any news from Zeng Mi?"
Ye Yixuan said, "No, he knows that Zeng Mi and I are close, so he won't tell her anything. Today, I took Xiao Zeng to Zeng Mi's place for a drink and just got home."
Zhuang Aimin smiled helplessly and said, "Forget it if it doesn't work. I'll try another approach."
