Mu Qiu quickly closed the forum and picked up the wine and took a big gulp.
The wine was cold and stimulating, but as it poured into her stomach, her throat began to burn. Mu Qiu secretly glanced at the man beside her, her eyes always looking where she shouldn't be.
After just one glance, Mu Qiu turned his head away like a guilty thief.
She picked up the glass again and drank the rest of the wine.
Watching Mu Qiu's frantic actions, Cheng Yanmo's doubts grew. What had she seen?
"Are you feeling unwell?" Mu Qiu's face turned as red as an apple. Cheng Yanmo was worried that Mu Qiu was drunk.
Cheng Yanmo's voice was so close, his breath seemed to be right beside her ear, and Mu Qiu's mind was full of 19. She shook her head, which was about to explode, and answered incoherently: "It seems a little hot, oh no, not hot, it's just that the wine burned my throat..."
Cheng Yanmo saw that she was absent-minded and did not ask any more questions.
Cheng Yanmo was ready to leave because he had to go on a business trip tomorrow. "Let's go together. It's not safe for a girl to stay in a bar alone for a long time." Cheng Yanmo said as he stood up.
"Okay." Mu Qiu picked up her bag and stood up.
The two walked one after the other, through the crowded and noisy crowd, and finally walked out of the bar. Standing at the door of the bar, Cheng Yanmo told Mu Qiu: "I have something else to do and can't take you home. Did you drive here by yourself?"
Mu Qiu: "Yes, I can go back by myself."
Cheng Yanmo shook his head and said, "No, you've been drinking, you can't drive." He was also worried about finding a designated driver to take Mu Qiu home. In his opinion, Mu Qiu was too petite and vulnerable.
After a brief pause, Cheng Yanmo finally said, "Let's take my car."
Mu Qiu refused firmly this time: "No need, Mr. Cheng, you go back first, my driver will come to pick me up."
Cheng Yanmo didn't question the truth of Mu Qiu's words. Living in the Purple Crystal Capital, Mu Qiu's family must be wealthy, so having a driver to pick him up was normal. "Okay, go home early."
Cheng Yanmo got into his car, but he wasn't in a hurry to drive away. He sat down and called Cheng Ziang again.
This time, Cheng Ziang actually answered the call.
"Where are you?"
Cheng Ziang stood on the noisy dance floor. He couldn't hear his brother's voice, but just seeing his brother's name made him feel scared. "Wait a minute!" Cheng Ziang walked out of the bar with his phone in hand and stood under a tree to answer the call.
"Brother, I'm at the bar, what do you want from me?"
Cheng Yanmo had already seen Cheng Ziang standing at the door of a bar, flirting with the girls.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Come here!"
Cheng Ziang was startled. He looked up suddenly and saw the black car at the end of the street. Cheng Ziang's expression changed slightly. He squeezed his phone and said, "Right away, I'll go say hello to my friend."
Cheng Ziang hung up the phone, turned around and went into the bar, found his friends and said goodbye to them, "I'm leaving first, have fun." As he said that, Cheng Ziang picked up his car keys that were placed on the sofa.
A friend held him back, looked at the DJ, and said to Cheng Ziang, "Just leaving like that? Didn't you say you wanted to date her?"
Cheng Ziang stared at the female DJ. She was dressed in a punk style, a loose sweatshirt and ripped jeans. Her dreadlocks gave her a bit of a sassy, yet cool look. Despite her exaggerated punk-inspired attire, she was incredibly beautiful.
Her name is Han Wangwang, and she's the new girl Cheng Ziang has been eyeing. Just 20 years old, she's incredibly hot, but also has a fiery temper. Cheng Ziang has been flirting with her for the past few nights, but her attitude has been lukewarm, and Cheng Ziang is losing his patience.
Thinking of Cheng Yanmo, Cheng Ziang could only suppress the restlessness in his heart. "Let's talk about it another day. I'm leaving first." Cheng Ziang left the bar quickly.
He was afraid that Cheng Yanmo would beat him, so he sat directly in the back seat after getting in the car.
"Brother, how come you have time to come to see me?"
Cheng Yanmo, just 28 years old, is nominally the eldest son of the Chuandong Group, but in reality, he is the real power holder of the Chuandong Group. Their father has already planned to abdicate and officially let Cheng Yanmo take the top position.
Cheng Yanmo was always busy, so when he came to see him, Cheng Ziang was surprised and a little scared. Cheng Yanmo smelled the perfume on Cheng Ziang and his expression became a little gloomy. "Ziang."
Cheng Ziang: "Ah?" He looked up at the driver's seat and could see Cheng Yanmo's particularly serious profile.
Cheng Ziang felt uneasy when he saw his brother like this.
Cheng Ziang thought Cheng Yanmo would start by scolding him harshly as usual, but after a long silence, Cheng Yanmo just sighed. "Ziang, you are twenty-five years old. You are old enough to get married, have children and become a father."
"Is it fun to keep playing like this?"
Cheng Yanmo looked at his cynical brother and felt a little guilty.
Cheng Yanmo was groomed from a young age to be the successor to the Chuandong Group. He grew up abroad, receiving a highly elite education. His younger brother, Cheng Ziang, was the youngest. His mother, reluctant to send both children abroad, left Cheng Ziang by her side to provide companionship and care.
When Cheng Ziang was twelve years old, his father had an affair with a female celebrity. To find excitement, he brought her home and had sex with her in his and his wife's bed. The female celebrity was also Cheng Ziang's mother's best friend.
When Cheng Ziang came home from school and saw his mother hanged and blood all over the floor, he was completely stunned.
After Cheng Yanmo returned to China to attend his mother's funeral, he only lived with Cheng Ziang for half a month before returning to school due to his heavy academic workload. Cheng's father, haunted by nightmares over the deaths of his first wife and mistress, eventually moved out of the house.
However, Cheng Ziang stubbornly stayed in the house where his mother died and refused to move out with his father.
When Cheng Yanmo returned to China after completing his studies, he discovered that his well-behaved and sensible brother had grown up to be a bad person. His father had cheated on him, and his mother had hanged herself. Left alone, Cheng Ziang had taken up smoking, clubbing, racing, gambling, and womanizing...
An elder brother is like a father, and Cheng Yanmo is also responsible for his younger brother growing up to be this eccentric.
After hearing what Cheng Yanmo said, Cheng Ziang couldn't help but laugh mockingly, "Why get married? A playboy like me won't settle down at home even if I get married. In the end, I hope you don't end up getting stabbed to death by your wife..."
His words were meant to mock their father. But Cheng Ziang didn't know that in his previous life, his marriage to Song Ci had indeed ended with him having his small intestine pierced.
Hearing Cheng Ziang say this, Cheng Yanmo felt a little uncomfortable. He really wanted to say sorry to Cheng Ziang, saying that it was he who ignored him, but when the words came to his lips, Cheng Yanmo felt heavy again and couldn't open his mouth.
"I'm worried that if you keep playing like this, something might happen." Cheng Ziang is a troublemaker. If Cheng Yanmo can protect him once, can he protect him forever?
Cheng Ziang curled his lips, "What could possibly happen?"
"Let's go back. I'm sleepy."
Cheng Yanmo took off his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows, and put them back on. Then he called the driver waiting outside the car in and asked him to drive them home.
