Chapter 253 Reunion (2)

When the two arrived at the restaurant, those people had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Zhou had booked a music restaurant with a private room where they could sing karaoke. Seeing that the two of them hadn't arrived yet, the others simply started singing in the private room.

Before entering, Tian Xin heard ghostly howling in the private room, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh wildly.

"Who is this?" she asked with a smile.

"Who else could it be? Your good sister!"

Lin Zhou didn't smile, but his face was speechless.

"Impossible! Gao Wen sings beautifully! Li Jing~~ huh?"

The turn was so sudden that Lin Zhou finally smiled: "It's her. She's been like this since she was a child. She can't sing but loves to be the center of attention!"

As they were talking, they arrived at the door of the private room, pushed it open and walked in.

It was indeed Li Jing who was singing, and the one making noises beside her was Lin Hai. The two of them sang in unison, singing the classic song "Over the Top" to pieces.

Gao Wen and Gao Cheng sat on one side. I didn’t know what they were talking about, but they looked very happy!

Only Zhang Shuai was sitting alone on the sofa, not saying a word, drinking alone, with two or three empty bottles in front of him.

"Why did you drink so much? It's just the beginning. Can your body handle it?" Tian Xin walked over, snatched the wine glass from his hand and put it aside, angrily asking: "What's wrong?"

"No... I'm fine!" Zhang Shuai forced a smile as he saw her coming over: "You're here?"

"Um!"

"Then...let's eat! Aren't you hungry? What took you so long?"

As he spoke, he called the waiter in to take his order.

Lin Zhou had ordered the dishes in advance, and they arrived quickly after he called. Perhaps worried that everyone wouldn't be accustomed to southern cuisine, Lin Zhou ordered all barbecue, filling the entire table.

Li Jing was singing, "How can I bear to blame you for making a mistake? I gave you..."

Before "Freedom" came out, he suddenly threw the microphone away and sat down next to Tian Xin.

"Oh, sure, Lin Zhou, you're quite considerate! You know I like this!"

"Whose sister are you?" Lin Zhou handed chopsticks to everyone while handing a bamboo stick to Tian Xin, signaling her with his eyes to eat quickly.

Seeing him being so distant, Li Jing immediately became unhappy: "Hey, you're getting more and more out of line! You only have eyes for Tian Xin, right? Where's the friendship we grew up with? Has it been eaten by dogs?"

"How is that possible?" Tian Xin quickly handed the small bamboo stick in her hand to her, and coaxed her with a smile: "Come on, come on, I'll give it all to you, calm down!"

Lin Hai was just singing enthusiastically when he turned around and found that Li Jing was gone. He felt bored and put down the microphone and sat down next to Li Jing.

"Come on, come on, don't be so restrained!" Lin Zhou called Gao Cheng and his wife and Zhang Shuai over and sat around the dinner table together.

"Everyone's here! Let me say a few words first!" He picked up the drinks and poured a glass for each person one by one. Holding the glass high, he said, "First of all, thank you all for coming to support Tian Xin today. This fashion show is to ensure the smooth future business of her online store. It's also thanks to others. To increase her popularity, I called everyone here without telling her. Thank you! Come, toast to you!"

"You're talking so much, just drink a drink!" Zhang Shuai looked at him and laughed, "You're too insincere!"

"Well? Doesn't he have to drive?" Tian Xin took over and said, "Driving can't..."

"There's a hotel right next to us, why are you driving? You're not going home, you're just going to fall asleep after drinking, what's the impact?" Zhang Shuai sneered, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Lin Zhou: "Come on, tell me again!"

The drink was poured quite solidly into a teacup, but fortunately, it was beer, so it wasn't too strong.

Lin Zhou took a look and reached out to take it.

But Li Jing and Lin Hai reached out and snatched it away at the same time.

"Go away, I'll drink with him!" Li Jing shook off Lin Hai's hand, raised her glass and clinked glasses with Zhang Shuai: "Hey, don't embarrass him, I'll drink with you!"

"What? You can't even drink a beer?" Zhang Shuai dodged Li Jing's cup and looked up at Lin Zhou with a mocking expression: "You're still talking about protecting her? Do you know who she faces every day?"

"Who could it be? It's just the village..."

"Don't talk!"

Zhang Shuai interrupted Tian Xin's explanation, frowned, and poured another glass of wine to Lin Zhou: "To be honest, I'm very grateful to you. You've helped me a lot during the time I was disabled. This glass is for you!"

After saying that, he picked up the wine and drank a glass, then refilled it for himself.

"But then again, I haven't seen the boss for a while. Why did I suddenly notice that she was so timid in front of you? What's going on? Has anything happened during this period that I don't know about?

"No way? How could I possibly…"

"Don't talk!"

Zhang Shuai once again interrupted Tian Xin's explanation and turned to look at her with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "Boss, we've known each other for so many years, how come I've never seen you say anything soft in front of me?"

"Why not? Are you crazy? I..."

"Look, you talk to me like this, but not to him!"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough!" Li Jing interrupted them, raised her glass and gestured to everyone: "It's a rare opportunity for us to get together here, why are you saying such depressing things? Come on, pick up your glasses!"

Everyone picked up their cups, some with drinks, some with wine, but Zhang Shuai was the only one holding his cup with an impatient look on his face.

"Hey, I really admire you. You were the one who was clamoring to come, and you were the one who was unhappy when you came. What do you want? Tian Xin's brother!"

Li Jing, holding a wine glass, bumped Zhang Shuai's arm and said, "As a grown man, can you be more tolerant? You have to make everyone unhappy when things are going well, don't you?"

Zhang Shuai turned his head away without saying anything, his face still gloomy.

"Come on, come on, what? Zhang Shuai, come on, let's have a drink! Last time at the wedding, you hadn't recovered well, so we didn't drink properly! Today we won't go home until we're drunk. Come on, I toast you!" Gao Cheng put down the drink in his hand, poured himself a glass of wine, and gave Lin Hai a look: "And Lin Hai, today is the first time we meet, come on, let's have a drink!

Seeing this, Lin Hai raised his glass and clinked it with Gao Cheng, then waited for Zhang Shuai while holding the glass.

However, Zhang Shuai still had a gloomy face and said nothing.

"Looks like we have to drink today!" Lin Zhou smiled and took another glass, filled it up, and held it up, saying to Zhang Shuai, "I'm wrong. I wasn't thoughtful enough today. Please forgive me! Come on, let's drink this together, as a celebration for Tian Xin!"

"Don't drink anymore, drink later..."

"It's okay!"

Lin Zhou interrupted Lin Hai and raised his cup to look at Zhang Shuai again: "What? Still not drinking?"
