Chapter 14 Drunkard

No one else has ever gotten to this point through the backdoor.

Lu Guanqi began to search for the next place when the door behind him suddenly opened again.

Qi Yanxue walked out gracefully, passed by Lu Guanqi, and went straight to the first floor.

Lu Guanqi stared at his back thoughtfully.

Did Qi Yanxue find his conscience?

-

After Zhu Wendong was arrested, he walked to the first floor and found that there were still many people sitting there.

Lu Guanqi loves to play and is indeed quite good at playing games.

When everyone saw that a new person was caught again, no matter who it was, they all started to cheer and handed him a glass of wine.

Now there is no way to avoid drinking.

Zhu Wendong took it, frowned and drank it, the strong liquid slid into his throat.

Having not touched alcohol for a long time, she resisted the urge to vomit and drank the second glass.

When Qi Yanxue came down, Zhu Wendong had already finished his third cup.

Zhu Wendong put down his wine glass and looked at him, his big watery eyes full of confusion.

How come he was caught so quickly?

Lu Guanqi is so familiar with him, didn’t he give him a break?

When everyone saw him coming down, they stopped trying to urge him to drink. They had been having so much fun that they almost forgot the true personality of the Second Young Master Qi.

When he's in a good mood, anyone can joke with him, but when he's in a bad mood... he won't give anyone face.

However, at this moment, the Second Young Master Qi seemed to be calm and composed, sitting down on the sofa with a carefree manner.

Someone ended the conversation in time: "Actually, this punishment doesn't apply to everyone. If Second Young Master Qi doesn't want to drink, then he doesn't have to."

"That's right, Second Young Master Qi, please do as you please."

Zhu Wendong: “…”

What on earth did Qi Yanxue do to deserve such a high reputation?

Zhu Wendong stared at him blankly, his eyes rolling around, as if he was thinking about something.

The girl's cheeks, as white as boiled eggs, were flushed, and her dark and bright eyes were full of questions. She had lost her guard and looked like a curious little deer.

It's obvious that he's starting to get drunk.

Qi Yanxue's gaze lingered on her face for only a second before he lowered his head to take the glass of wine. He said seriously, "How can that be? If we're playing a game, we must abide by the rules."

This was the last scene that Zhu Wendong saw before her eyes became blurry. She had no idea what happened afterwards. She vaguely felt that she had found a place to lie down and then fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself back in Tingguo.

Zhu Wendong had a splitting headache, but he forced himself to finish washing up, then walked out of the room and down to the second floor.

Wen Lu was seen sitting upright on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, her back straight and her long hair tied behind her head, showing her gentleness. The years had left no trace on her face, but instead added a bit of brightness and elegance.

Seeing Zhu Wendong coming downstairs, she only glanced at him, took a sip of tea, and said, "You know you can't drink, but you still drank unconscious at Jian Yi's birthday party. Going abroad, you even forget the most basic etiquette, right?"

Zhu Wendong had long been accustomed to Wen Lu's attitude of criticizing her without any reason.

She walked to the dining table, poured herself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and her stomach finally felt a little better.

She asked in a hoarse voice, "Who sent me back yesterday?"

Wen Lu put down her teacup: "Who else could it be besides Jian Yi?"

That’s right, apart from Zhu Jianyi, there will be no one else who will send her back to Tingguo.

Zhu Wendong glanced at the empty dining table and frowned: "No food?"

Wen Lu thought about the doctor's advice and silently repeated "Don't get angry, a harmonious family brings prosperity" three times. She said, "You're such a busy person and you don't stay at home. What kind of food should I prepare for you? I'll be lucky if I can just prepare a bed for you to sleep in!"

Zhu Wendong understood the implication. She was dissatisfied with her moving out without consulting Wen Lu, which had undermined her status as a mother.

She pretended not to understand, went upstairs to change her clothes and went downstairs again, sending a message to Qiao Shizhu as she walked out.

Dong: [Are you ready? Let’s have a meal at our usual place?]

Qiao Shizhu: [Wait for me for half an hour]

Wen Lu saw that she was leaving after just one night's sleep, and she really treated this place as a hotel. She asked in a suppressed tone, "How long have you been here since you came back? Where are you going now?"

Zhu Wendong was changing his shoes at the entrance, not stopping: "Let's go out for dinner."

Wen Lu quickly stood up and asked, "Where are you staying these days? Even if you're not staying in Tingguo, it shouldn't be a problem for you to tell me where you're staying."

The family's driver had already driven the Cullinan from the garage to the door. Zhu Wendong sat in the driver's seat, tilted his head, and said out the window, "Don't worry about it. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cullinan sped away like an arrow from its sheath and gradually disappeared from sight.

Wen Lu's words got stuck in her throat, but she finally swallowed them.

She didn't know when her well-behaved and clever daughter became like this, gradually getting out of her control and drifting further and further away.

As the helmsman, Wen Lu seemed to have lost the rudder. In an instant, she lost her direction and deviated from the course.

I only remember that it all started when I suddenly went abroad five years ago.

-

Jiangbei, wish hospital.

The red cross symbol hangs solemnly in the center of the building, with the word "best wishes" printed on both sides, guarding it like a knight.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the hospital gate and the driver opened the back seat.

Qi Yanxue was wearing a neat black suit, showing his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His slender jade-like hand held the phone to his ear, and he spoke calmly to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Lu Guanqi, is the work Grandpa Lu has assigned you too little? Do you want me to add some?"

Lu Guanqi on the other end of the phone quickly said, "No need! I just asked a few questions, why is it so serious?"

He just asked two questions when he called.

The first sentence - Didn’t Zhu Jianyi agree to help you persuade Zhu Linbin? Why do you still want to talk to him?

Qi Yanxue replied: "I don't need to rely on others for my own affairs."

Second sentence——Did Zhu Jianyi confess his love to you?

The matter came back to Qi Yanxue's words about giving him more work.

Lu Guanqi thought he hadn't provoked him much recently, and then he thought about how Qi Yanxue looked strange after coming out of the birthday party last night, so he asked fearlessly, "What's with the teeth marks on your wrist last night?"

Although Lu Guanqi didn't see it clearly, he could guess from the size of the tooth marks that it was the work of a girl.

Qi Yanxue entered the elevator and said before the signal was cut off, "It was bitten by a heartless drunkard."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and took the elevator to the top floor of the hospital, the dean's office.

Qi Yanxue sat down opposite him, leaning back, his stern and firm face showing an expression of fearlessness and unruliness, even though he was the second party in the negotiation.

He spoke with an oppressive tone that could not be ignored: "Dean Zhu, let's talk."

Zhu Linbin wore a pair of high-pitched glasses on his deep-set eyes. He adjusted the frames and said calmly, "Mr. Qi, I think we've already discussed the conditions."

We talked about it, but we didn't reach an agreement.

Qi Yanxue tapped the tabletop with her fingertips. "This time, let's add one more thing. We'll help fill the 50 million yuan deficit that Dean Zhu has in the Zhu Group."

Fifty million is not a small amount of money. Qi Yanxue, on behalf of the Qi Group, wants to acquire Zhuyuan Hospital. He has put up such a big chip, and it seems that he has no intention of returning empty-handed.

Zhu Linbin lowered his head in thought and did not answer for a while.

Qi Yanxue nodded and said slowly, "Tell Dean Zhu a story."

"There were two brothers. The eldest had a talent for finance and lived up to expectations by inheriting the family fortune. The second was a doctor, but his only interest was finance. However, he had no business acumen and suffered losses every time he ventured into the family business. This time, he was finally unable to make up for his losses."

Qi Yanxue raised his eyes and asked, "Dean Zhu, do you think the eldest brother will help the second brother to pay for this?"
