At 6 p.m., three tables were set up in the hotel banquet hall, with a banquet costing 4,888 yuan per table. The dishes were very plentiful, after all, it is a five-star hotel and the chef's skills are top-notch.

Most of the people present were not very old, and the vast majority had never eaten such expensive delicacies before. For a time, the whole hall was filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and lively conversation.

Having received such a great favor, everyone naturally flattered him in their conversations. Liu Li heard countless compliments throughout the night, which made him feel rather smug.

Sure enough, these poor bastards only need a little favor to get them to fawn over you.

He glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao not far away. He originally wanted to sit next to her, but the vice leader Gao Yi and a pretty boy beat him to it. The vice leader was one thing, but what was that pretty boy? He gave him a meaningful look and he pretended not to see it!

The pretty boy he secretly resented was none other than Han Yunqi.

He had seen Liu Li's disgusting gaze fixed on Tang Xiaoxiao earlier, and he had the urge to punch him a couple of times. But before he could make a move, Tang Xiaoxiao took the initiative and said a few words that made the other party dare not be presumptuous anymore. He was relieved to see that Tang Xiaoxiao had not suffered any loss.

However, from that moment on, he kept a close eye on Liu Li. When everyone took their seats at the start of the dinner, he noticed that Liu Li's eyes were constantly glancing at Tang Xiaoxiao. Naturally, he couldn't let this person have a chance to get close to her.

After quickly taking the seat next to Tang Xiaoxiao and blocking the lewd man's view, Han Yunqi belatedly realized that he and Tang Xiaoxiao were very close. So close that he could see her delicate, porcelain-like profile and her beautifully curved chin with just a slight turn of his head.

Two rows of thick eyelashes fluttered as the other person blinked, making his face gradually feel hot.

Throughout the night, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't show anything special towards him. Occasionally, she would turn her head and smile at him, just like she did with other people. Han Yunqi gradually relaxed his body, which had been tense from being so close to her, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably disappointed.

As the event drew to a close, Liu Li finally stood up, raised his glass, and said to Tang Xiao, "Beautiful lady, let me toast you as an apology for what happened this afternoon. Please give me some face."

Before Tang Xiaoxiao could speak, Han Yunqi raised his glass and said, "I'll drink for her."

"Who do you think you are!" Liu Li was already a little drunk, and when he saw this ugly young man jump out again, he immediately cursed him without any politeness.

"It's an honor for her that you're willing to apologize. Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason." With his eyes fixed on Tang Xiaoxiao, Liu Li asked, "How about it? Have a drink. If we drink, we can forget about it."

Han Yunqi's veins were bulging on the back of his hand, and he was about to explode when suddenly a warm little hand covered his hand. Turning his head, he saw that it was Tang Xiaoxiao who had stopped him. Her eyes were full of comforting meaning, and the flame in Han Yunqi's heart was extinguished instantly.

"Don't worry, watch me." Tang Xiaoxiao whispered to him, then turned to Liu Li and raised an eyebrow: "Let bygones be bygones? That's not impossible. But just drinking this won't do." She gestured to the wine glass in his hand, "Since Brother Li has spoken, I'll give you face."

He beckoned to the waiter, asked a couple of questions in a low voice, and the waiter nodded and left. A moment later, he brought in two bottles of wine.

Tang Xiaoxiao gestured to the waiter to hand one of the bottles to Liu Li, and then stood up and held up the other bottle in her hand: "Drink this, and we'll still be good brothers in the same gang from now on."

Tang Xiaoxiao, a pretty young girl, stood there holding a bottle of wine, her expression aloof and defiant, exuding an air of coolness that drew everyone's attention. They then excitedly cheered:

"Brother Li! You can't back down!"

"If you're a man, you have to go for it!"

Looking at Tang Xiaoxiao like this, Liu Li felt an irresistible itch in his heart. How wonderful it would be if he could get his hands on such a hot woman!

With countless filthy thoughts running through his mind, he didn't even look at what was in his hand, and shouted, "Okay! I'll drink it!" Then he tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.

Tang Xiaoxiao, of course, didn't try to fool him and raised the wine bottle in her hand to drink it down.

Han Yunqi was extremely anxious. He hadn't expected that Tang Xiaoxiao's so-called "let her handle it" was this kind of solution. Several times he tried to get up and snatch the wine from her hand, but Tang Xiaoxiao pressed down on his shoulder, and he couldn't get up... Soon the bottle of wine was empty. Tang Xiaoxiao put down the empty bottle and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Although Han Yunqi still couldn't hide his worry, seeing that she had already drunk it, he knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so he could only hold back.

Liu Li almost choked on the liquor as soon as it entered his mouth. With no other choice, he forced himself to finish the whole bottle, feeling a burning sensation from his throat to his stomach. He picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully. He didn't recognize any of the English words, but he noticed a clear number: 82°.

A boy sitting next to him also curiously leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils and exclaim, "Holy crap!"

This bottle of 82-proof liquor, weighing over a pound, was downed in one go.

This is playing with fire!

It was only after he shouted that everyone realized how ruthless Tang Xiaoxiao's move was!

The key point is that she not only made the other person drink, but she also finished a bottle herself!

What a terrifying woman... The boys present couldn't help but shrink back.

Only Han Yunqi could no longer restrain himself and couldn't help but turn to Tang Xiaoxiao and say, "Are you crazy! You dare to drink 82-proof liquor? You can't risk your own life just to deal with that Liu guy! Come with me to the hospital right now!"
