The photo she just sent was to this brother who is closest to Mo Zixue.

The purpose was to provoke him into making things difficult for Wang Yueheng, so that Mo Zixue, who was jealous of him, would lose face.

Unexpectedly, nothing happened between the two.

Mo Liyan, who had been hoping to see the spectacle, was speechless.

It was lunchtime soon.

One by one, dishes meticulously prepared by specially hired chefs were placed on the courtyard table, each one a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

Everyone took their seats one by one according to their seniority and family status.

Wang Yueheng and several other young people temporarily sat at the guests' table.

Meanwhile, a small stage was erected in the spacious courtyard.

Several actors dressed in theatrical robes and carrying command flags began to perform Peking Opera on the stage.

There was also a special opera troupe playing drums and providing music nearby.

As the lilting opera music began.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became even more lively.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Cen Guangjie, who had just been snubbed while shaking hands, suddenly sat down next to Wang Yueheng with a case of liquor printed with the words "Special Supply".

He slammed the whole case of liquor on the table and casually pulled out a bottle.

The bottle, wrapped in red paper, prominently displays the words "53 degrees".

"Wang Yueheng, right? First time meeting you? Shall we meet on the hour?"

"If you're a man, don't say you can't drink."

Without saying a word, Cen Guangjie, the captain of the special forces, opened the bottle and poured a whole glass of baijiu for Wang Yueheng.

This scene immediately stunned the other younger people at the table.

This guy is clearly trying to drink with Wang Yueheng until he gets a stomach hemorrhage!

Cen Guangjie planned to get Wang Yueheng drunk and then test his drinking habits and character.

When Cen Guangjie was seen carrying a whole case of high-proof liquor, he challenged Wang Yueheng to a drinking contest.

The eyes of those around them were drawn to them, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Cen Guangjie really thinks Wang Yueheng is Xiaoxue's boyfriend..."

"Fine, I also think Wang Yueheng is not good enough for Xiaoxue anyway, let them do what they want."

"Actually, I would prefer Xiaoxue to be with Wang Yueheng rather than that playboy Sun Jiayang from the capital."

"That's right, at least Yue Heng's poems have been included in middle school textbooks. There aren't many writers in the entire Chinese Writers Association who can do that!"

The Mo family relatives and guests who came to offer their birthday wishes immediately began to discuss the matter.

"Sorry, I have a competition to participate in recently, so I can't drink."

"If you don't mind, let's have tea instead of wine as a token gesture."

"Let me clarify, Xiaoxue and I have a normal relationship, it's not as complicated as you think."

Upon learning that the man in front of him was Mo Zixue's older brother, whom she had grown up with, Wang Yueheng politely declined.

He also guessed what the other party was thinking.

Does this mean he sees himself as Mo Zixue's boyfriend?

That's why you're so wary of being tested?

Wang Yueheng felt both amused and helpless.

But when Mo Zixue went back to her hometown with him last time, she was misunderstood by her relatives quite a bit, so he just brushed it off.

He also didn't want to have a conflict with the other party's family.

"Using tea instead of wine? That's pointless."

"A singing competition isn't that hard to arrange. Have Xiaoxue use her connections to find someone for you, you know, that guy's name..."

"A rigged affair, yes, I'll pull some strings for you, and I guarantee you'll get first place!"

Cen Guangjie looked at Wang Yueheng, who refused to drink with him, and said dismissively.

Having spent a long time in the military, he was unaware of Wang Yueheng's rise to fame.

All I knew was that the other person was a singer who had suddenly become famous.

Since it suddenly became popular, it must have benefited from its connection with the Mohist school.

Otherwise, how could he have become famous so quickly?

In addition, Wang Yueheng had somehow managed to suddenly subdue him during the handshake.

Cen Guangjie became even more wary of the singer and artist in front of him.

"How about this, aren't you a singer? Why don't you go on stage and sing a song for everyone?"

"Consider it a birthday gift for my grandfather."

"I'll give you a million if you sing a song well, how about it?"

Upon hearing these words...

The other younger people at the table also had various expressions.

Cen Guangjie's words were clearly a warning to Wang Yueheng.

He was reminded that his family background and wealth were far from sufficient to qualify him to deal with the Mohists.

Not to mention dating Mo Zixue, who has impeccable political credentials.

Cen Guangjie wanted to use this method to make Wang Yueheng back down and keep his distance from his sister.
