Chapter 105 A Bloodbath

"Grandma is such a good person~" I was fiddling with the ointment Grandma gave me in the car, and it smelled a faint fragrance.

"Because you're a good person too, that's why Grandma is so good to you. Honey, why are you so nice to everyone, but not so kind to me?"

"I'm not friendly to you? Are you telling a story? Think about how good I am to you every day. In the morning..." I suddenly didn't know how to continue. In the morning, Chu Zhen would prepare breakfast and even squeeze the toothpaste before waking me up. When I got home in the evening, he would not only take care of dinner but also wash the dishes as soon as I lay down on the sofa. Suddenly, I didn't know where my friendliness towards him was.

"What happened this morning?"

"I've been having breakfast with you this morning, you know how much I value my sleep. I waste my sleep time every day having breakfast with you, don't you think I'm good to you?" That's all I could say.

"Hmm, it's pretty good~" Chu Zhen's smile was intriguing.

"Lin Dang, Li Guoqiang has been arrested, isn't your Chu Zhen going to release him yet? Hurry up, Song Zhixiao and I are waiting for you at the bar~" Huang Yanyan always likes to send voice messages, and the voice messages to me are always very loud.

Do you want me to take you there?

"Is it okay?" Chu Zhen's behavior today is a bit unusual. Normally, he would never allow me to go to a quiet bar, and he would absolutely forbid me from touching any alcohol.

"Of course you can. I support a girls' get-together. You're allowed to indulge yourself today, but you can only drink juice. If I smell even a hint of alcohol, you can forget about ever having a get-together again."

Sure enough, this guy is that cunning; he's not that kind. Whether he drinks or not doesn't matter as long as he can get together with his girlfriends.

"Your great Chu has finally let him go, huh? He's been in solitary confinement ever since he was discharged from the hospital. It's harder than climbing to heaven to see him." Huang Yanyan had barely sat down when she was met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks.

"Don't talk about me like that. It's not like your Chen Weiqi would let you go. Why did you decide to drink today? Did you have a fight?" I always remembered what Chu Zhen said before I got out of the car: I don't drink alcohol. So I ordered a glass of lemonade.

"With how busy I am right now, working during the day and dating at night, I don't have time for this kind of gathering, Miss Song. So, tell me, Miss Song, did you meet a perfect guy on a blind date or did you meet someone you like during an interview?"

"No, I'm not cut out for any good people in this world. You really don't know the awful ones I've been on blind dates lately. Do I look that desperate to get married? Someone even introduced me to a nouveau riche in his fifties, and he didn't even look at me." Song Ji-hyo said, downing a glass of wine in one go.

Song Ji-hyo is a woman with a wealthy family background, a successful career, and a carefree life. The older she gets, the more she feels that men are dispensable, so there are very few men who meet her requirements. Looking at the entire city of A, there is no one who is her target anymore. Now she has accepted her fate and feels that fate is predetermined. Perhaps she will grow old alone, or perhaps one day a perfect man will fall from the sky.

"Dang, when are you planning to have the surgery to remove this scar?"

"Grandma gave me a bottle of ointment, saying it was a family heirloom that was very effective at removing scars. I'm going to try it out first, maybe it will really work."

"Okay, but you really deserve to be one of the top three beauties in the journalism department back then. This gauze doesn't affect your appearance at all. You're still so beautiful, but with an added touch of mystery that makes people want to tear off the gauze and see your true face."

People are always susceptible to praise and flattery. Under the relentless onslaught of Huang Yanyan and Song Zhixiao, I forgot my promise to Chu Zhen and kept drinking one glass of wine after another, thinking that the glass was small and it wouldn't matter. It wasn't until I woke up in my bedroom the next day with a headache that I realized I had blacked out again last night.

"You're awake!" Chu Zhen came in carrying water, his face dark. I realized I had messed up.

"How did I end up at home?" I asked cautiously, keeping an eye on Chu Zhen's expression.

"Where are you if not at home? Do you want to be taken away by another man?"

Chu Zhen's words were loaded with meaning. Other men? I don't recall them at all.

"Lin Dang, what happened to your promise to me? You promised not to touch a drop of alcohol? Did you forget all about it the moment you saw alcohol?"

"Oh, honey, it's just that Li Guoqiang got arrested, and they were happy for me, so we had a couple of drinks. I won't drink next time, okay?" I grabbed Chu Zhen's hand and shook it, blinking my eyes, my voice so sweet it made my skin crawl. Chu Zhen looked at me, probably not expecting me to be so coquettish, and paused for a moment before lowering his head, looking at me sharply.

"No drinking unless I'm around. You three ran into a pervert last night, you know that?"

Chu Zhen's words startled me. A pervert? I had no recollection of that. I tried hard to recall what happened last night. It seemed like I was shoving someone, and my hand seemed to have bumped into something. I quickly looked at my elbow, and sure enough, there was a big bruise.

"If Song Huai hadn't passed by, the three of you would probably have woken up somewhere today."

"Honey, I'm a little hungry~"

"I've heated up the milk, I'll go get it for you."

"I want to drink rice porridge, the really thick kind." I looked at Chu Zhen with a smile. He once said that my smile was the most irresistible to him. Sure enough, he put the water glass in my hand and went to the kitchen.

Watching him leave, I immediately called Song Ji-hyo; she's the one with the best alcohol tolerance among the three of us.

"Big sister, I don't know either. I just woke up not long ago and Song Huai scolded me so badly. I really want to find a sister-in-law as soon as possible and take Song Huai away so he won't control me all the time."

"Why don't you give the phone to Song Huai? I want to ask what's going on. My Chu God's face is still gloomy. I've used all my charm, but it doesn't seem to be working."

"Okay, wait a minute~"

"Lin Dang, what's wrong? What happened?" Song Huai's tone was not as Song Zhixiao described; on the contrary, it was very kind and gentle.

"I want to ask, what exactly happened last night?"

"Didn't Chu Zhen say?"

"No, I dare not ask in detail. For the sake of our harmonious relationship as husband and wife, please tell me!" I had no choice but to bring up our marital relationship.

“Last night I had dinner with some friends and we were going to go for drinks there. But when we got to the bar, we saw a group of men and women arguing. At first, I didn’t think it was you guys and didn’t want to get involved. But then you suddenly kicked one of the men in the groin. When the man was about to hit you, I saw your face with a bandage on it. When I looked closer, I realized it was the three of you, so I went to help you out.”

"Who are those men?"

"They were probably drinking inside, and when they saw you were drunk, they got the wrong idea. When they saw us coming, they ran away. Lin Dang, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're practically my sister-in-law. They were being silly, and you just joined in. It's nothing serious, but if something had happened to you, Chu Zhen would have killed someone!"

"Okay, okay, I won't do it again. Thanks, Brother Song. By the way, Song Zhixiao was forced to drink by us, so don't blame her. It's just that Huang Yanyan was in a good mood yesterday and asked us to have a few drinks with her." I pushed Huang Yanyan forward. After all, she is the head of the Huang Group. Even if Song Huai doesn't care about the Buddha, he can't scold her.
