"Come on, come on... have a few more drinks, Comrade Jiang. I've heard you're quite the shrewd businessman in Beijing. I admire you! Come on! Drink up!"
"Stop drinking, I'll take you home."
Jiang Wanqing was urged to drink again, which made Cheng Ran a little unhappy. He held her burning palm tightly, and the person who was offering the drink turned away.
"Hahaha... Comrade Jiang can't drink, Comrade Cheng, you drink!"
Three or four people surrounded Cheng Ran, trying to force him to drink beer even though he wouldn't drink baijiu.
Jiang Wanqing, needing to urinate, broke free of his hand and went to find the restroom...
She felt dizzy and lightheaded. She had gone to great lengths for a few pieces of information, and now she felt like her body was out of her control.
"The toilet...where's the toilet...?"
She staggered outside, secretly watched by Su Su and Du Heng.
"Go quickly. I don't expect you to get serious today. If you can't get it done, you'll be truly useless!"
Su Su snorted and gave Du Heng a command. He straightened his tie, met her gaze, and spoke with a firm and confident tone.
"What can a drunk woman do, even if she does get serious? Just watch me. Today, Jiang Wanqing's reputation in the entire Southwest region is doomed, and no business partners will want to work with her in the future."
After saying that, Du Heng chased after Jiang Wanqing in the direction she had left. Su Su crossed her arms, smiled slyly, and turned back to continue entertaining the guests.
Everyone and everything is under her control. What she wants is not just Jiang Wanqing's disgrace, but also... all the sympathy, the allocation of resources, and a huge personal reputation!
The wine had made Jiang Wanqing's head buzz and her vision blurry, making it impossible for her to see clearly. Suddenly, a hand touched her shoulder from behind. Thinking it was Cheng Ran, she instinctively used his arm to steady herself.
"You...you came out too?"
She slowly raised her head, and when she saw Du Heng's face, her mind instantly cleared, and she immediately pushed him away.
"It's you! Let go!"
Jiang Wanqing's brows furrowed even more, and she even felt nauseous, so she suddenly vomited.
"vomit……"
Du Heng jumped back in fright, glaring at Jiang Wanqing with disdain.
"you……"
"Get out!" she yelled at him, her hands on her knees.
He stood with his hands on his hips, feeling angry. He looked around, grabbed Jiang Wanqing's hand, and forcibly dragged her away.
"Come with me!"
"Let me go..." she struggled, but was too weak from the alcohol. "What do you want to do!"
"Hmph, you're still trying to act all high and mighty in front of me? Your factory can't even stay afloat. Don't you want to know what Su Su and I did? Come with me, and I'll tell you... Ah!"
Before Du Heng could finish speaking, Jiang Wanqing shoved him hard on the head, hitting him squarely in the teeth. He coughed up blood and lost a tooth in the process, and she took the opportunity to escape.
No one would believe him! Although she was drunk, she wasn't stupid; he clearly had ulterior motives.
That bump completely enraged Du Heng, who forcefully dragged Jiang Wanqing into the nearby wooden house and slammed the door shut.
The violent movement sobered her up a bit; she slammed her arm against the door, wincing in pain.
"Stop pretending, Jiang Wanqing. You used to look down on me and completely abandoned our cooperation because of my slightest mistake. Now I'm thriving and about to monopolize the entire industry, while you've been delaying the opening of your new factory again and again. Don't you regret it now?"
"Regret is not in my dictionary!"
"Hmph, still being stubborn! Do you think you can turn the tables and get something out of me? Let me tell you, no way! Because today... is your death day!"
Du Heng had also had a few drinks, and the plan in his mind rushed in, completely igniting his impulse. What did it matter if it was fake? Even if he really did it, so what!
He grabbed Jiang Wanqing's hand and tried to tear her clothes with his other hand. Jiang Wanqing raised her leg and pushed him away. He covered his groin, his face flushed, unable to speak, and pointed at him.
"You...you..."
"Go to hell!" Jiang Wanqing grabbed a wooden stick from the side and pounded it on Du Heng. "You think you can make me regret this? You even tried to touch me! Go to hell!"
Her anger was completely ignited, and she didn't hold back at all, each blow heavier than the last. Du Heng was beaten until he curled up on the ground, his face bruised and swollen. She didn't even try to avoid his vital areas, hitting him wherever she could, without any strategy whatsoever.
"Go to hell!"
Just as she raised the stick high, about to strike him on the head, the door suddenly opened, and Cheng Ran grabbed her hand.
"Wanqing, calm down..."
He had just been dragged away when he realized she had left. He was willing to offend a table full of unrelated people to come out and find her. Hearing the commotion here, he rushed over.
"Cheng Ran..."
With a thud, the stick in Jiang Wanqing's hand fell to the ground, and she threw herself into Cheng Ran's arms.
"It's alright... Let's go!"
“Then he…” She glanced back, her brows furrowing tightly.
Du Heng lay on the ground like a dead dog, emitting weak cries of pain.
Cheng Ran covered Jiang Wanqing's eyes and personally kicked Du Heng a few more times, his voice gradually fading.
"If he dares to call the police, he's had enough of living. Sparing his life is already the greatest mercy we can show him!"
He was just as eager to kill Du Heng as Jiang Wanqing was, but today's occasion and unusual circumstances made him realize that this might all be a trap to lure him into, and he couldn't fall for it!
He carried Jiang Wanqing and quickly left the wedding venue. When they went out, they ran into Du Ming, who saw that they had bloodstains on them and that they were about to leave before the wedding was over, so he immediately stopped them.
"Commander Cheng, what happened between you and Sister-in-law Wanqing? Is it that the food wasn't to your liking or something happened? The wedding isn't over yet..."
"Get out of here! I don't want to fall out with you here!"
"Procedure……"
Du Ming had no idea what was happening when Cheng Ran bumped his shoulder away.
He tried to chase after them, but suddenly a scream came from inside.
"Oh my god! Murder!"
Murder!? Du Ming's eyes widened immediately, and he rushed inside, ignoring Cheng Ran and Jiang Wanqing who had already left their seats.
He thought someone had gotten drunk and gotten into trouble, but when he went inside, he found his brother lying on the verge of death, covered in bruises from being brutally beaten.
Su Su kicked Du Heng and frowned in displeasure.
"Useless thing! You can't even handle something this simple! I knew I couldn't rely on you!"
"Sister-in-law! What happened to my brother?" Du Ming ran over and helped Du Heng up. "Brother, weren't you and sister-in-law about to exchange vows? What happened..."
"It's all...it's all...that bitch..."
Du Heng swallowed the name that was on the tip of his tongue. He was the unreasonable one, and if things went according to plan, things would fall apart. Cheng Ran would kill him. But Su Su didn't care and said it loudly in front of all the guests.
"My husband was beaten up by a regimental commander and his wife. Everyone, please be the judge! Is there no law anymore?!"
