Chapter 58 Embarrassment
What Xu Qingwu hates most is deception.
A nameless anger surged in his chest, and Xu Qingwu picked up the cup beside him and drank it all in one gulp.
The ice-cold wine fills the mouth and slides down the throat, leaving only a slight bitterness after the coolness.
He Yiyang was surprised and said, "Xu Lu, you drank my wine!"
Xu Qingwu finally came to her senses. She had mistaken wine for water. "Sorry."
He Yiyang: "It's okay, I haven't drunk yet, but can you drink?"
She suddenly remembered Cen Xihuai's advice before the party, asking her to drink less. She rarely felt rebellious. Why did he care whether she drank or not?
Xu Qingwu asked, "Anything else?"
He Yiyang asked stupidly: "What?"
Xu Qingwu felt that this child was not only incompetent at work, but also so slow in life. She expressed it clearly: "Wine, cold."
"Yes, do you want some?"
"Another one!"
Xu Qingwu drank two glasses in a row before stopping. Beer made her feel very full, and her stomach soon reacted, so she went to the bathroom to urinate.
As soon as she entered the cubicle, she heard two colleagues complaining about her.
"I think Xu Qingwu must be kept by the old man?"
"No way, didn't she say she was getting married?"
"Have you ever seen her wearing a wedding ring? And she's already married, so how could she not have a photo of her husband? The only possibility is that her husband is not convenient to be seen by others, so she said she didn't have one."
"That makes sense. She's so beautiful that she can certainly command a high price. Isn't this just a random gift of Hermes?"
"No wonder she looks down on the men in our law firm. They don't have that kind of ability!"
Suddenly, the door next door opened, and a sweet voice interrupted the two of them: "I say, enough is enough, if you have the guts, just say it to my face, what's the point of talking behind my back?"
"No need to talk anymore, my boyfriend called me."
"Let's go, my husband should be here soon."
The sound of water stopped, and the two people made excuses to leave in a hurry. Only then did Xu Qingwu come out of the cubicle.
These two people were colleagues from the next group and were not very familiar with her. Xu Qingwu had no memory of offending them. On the contrary, they were quite kind to her and would greet her when they met in the coffee shop. She never expected that they actually thought this about her behind her back.
What she didn't expect was that Huang Yun, who had always been at odds with her, would actually speak up for her.
The contrast is simply shocking.
Xu Qingwu went over to wash her hands. She bent her hands and caught some water to splash on her face to make herself feel more awake. She didn't expect to bump into Yu Qing who also came to wash her hands.
The moment he saw her, Yu Qing couldn't hide the panic on his face.
Soon, Yu Qing smiled and asked her, "Qingwu, why are you here?"
Xu Qingwu didn't smile, her expression was indifferent: "The law firm is having a dinner party, where is Miss Yu?"
"A few girlfriends are having dinner." Yu Qing could clearly smell the alcohol on her. "Qingwu, avoid drinking alcohol when taking Chinese medicine. I sent this tip to my fourth brother on WeChat. Didn't he tell you?"
Yu Qing calls Cen Xihuai fourth brother.
She should have guessed that the relationship between the two was unusual when she heard this ambiguous name.
Look, the two of them probably chat on WeChat from time to time. After all, Cen Xihuai can answer Yu Qing's voice calls, but hang up hers.
Xu Qingwu smiled meaningfully: "I drank it secretly. Miss Yu won't take this opportunity to complain to my husband and chat?"
Yu Qing's heart trembled, not knowing whether Xu Qingwu was unintentional or had some hidden agenda.
"Qingwu, are you drunk?"
"A little." Xu Qingwu rubbed his temples twice. "Miss Yu, I'm leaving first."
Yu Qing came out behind Xu Qingwu. When she saw where Xu Qingwu was, all the color disappeared from her face.
She didn't expect Xu Qingwu to be sitting so close to them, and they were chatting quite loudly.
Could it be that Xu Qingwu heard everything?
When Xu Qingwu returned to his seat, only a few colleagues were still drinking; the rest had almost all left.
Yang Yu had something urgent to do at home, so she asked He Yiyang to wait for Xu Qingwu to come out of the bathroom and then take her to the car. He Yiyang then waited for Xu Qingwu here obediently.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingwu came back and wanted to drink more. He couldn't resist her insistence at all, so he had to pour the remaining half bottle of beer into her glass.
Xu Qingwu drank it all in revenge.
No one or two of them let her drink?
She insisted on drinking it.
"Xu Lu, stop drinking. Can I take you home?"
go home?
Which home to go back to?
The Shen family is not her real home, and Cen Xihuai's home is not her home either. She has had no home since the day her parents died.
My eyes felt so hot, as if wine was flowing out of them.
He Yiyang hurriedly handed her the paper.
This scene had already been seen by Cen Du on the second floor. He took several photos and specially picked out two with ambiguous angles to send to Cen Xihuai.
"Xu Lu, you really can't drink anymore. You're drunk."
"I'm not drunk."
Xu Qingwu's face doesn't often turn red when she drinks. Apart from the fact that her face is a little warmer, there's almost nothing unusual about her now, unless she hadn't insisted on reciting the law to He Yiyang.
He Yiyang had never seen such a scene before, so he could only try to persuade her in a panic.
Fortunately, Xu Qingwu still had a little bit of consciousness. She knew that she couldn't stay here any longer because Cen Xihuai would come to pick up Yu Qing soon.
If Cen Xihuai saw her here, how upset would he be?
After all, even if he didn't love her anymore, she was still his wife in name only. He couldn't possibly slap her in the face in front of everyone, right?
And what if...
What if he just took Yu Qing away in front of her without caring about anything? Where would she put her face then?
She couldn't let herself get into such an embarrassing situation.
"I don't want to drink anymore, let's go home."
Xu Qingwu stood up, picked up her bag and left.
Seeing this, He Yiyang was so grateful to heaven and earth that he hurried over to help Xu Qingwu call a taxi to ensure that she could get home safely.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingwu suddenly took a big step back.
She didn't step firmly on her high heels and was about to fall. He Yiyang quickly reached out to help her, but a strong arm grabbed Xu Qingwu's waist before him and pulled her into his arms.
When He Yiyang met the man's cold and gloomy eyes, his legs almost went weak.
The man in front of him was dressed in a suit and tie. He was tall, with deep brow bones. He was shrouded in a low pressure and had a sharp and stern temperament.
After Xu Qingwu stood firm, he pushed Cen Xihuai's hand away and was about to hide backwards.
Cen Xihuai tightly grasped the white wrist and said in a deep voice, "Why are you hiding? Am I so shameful?"
Xu Qingwu pulled his hand hard: "Aren't you here to pick up Miss Yu?"
"Who said that?"
Cen Xihuai was stunned when he heard this. Xu Qingwu took the opportunity to escape. She grabbed He Yiyang who was standing aside and said, "Let's go!"
He Yiyang was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
Cen Xihuai forcibly pulled her back, holding her waist with one hand and gently pinching her chin with the other hand, and turned her towards Yu Qing: "Look over there."
Xu Qingwu saw Xia Xiaoxiao's uncle Chi Chu, and then saw Chi Chu walking towards Yu Qing.
What is going on?
Xu Qingwu suspected that he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes hard.
"Chi Chu?"
"Well, Miss Yu has someone answering the phone." Cen Xihuai's voice softened a bit. "So, can I take my wife home?"
Xu Qingwu: "..."
He Yiyang: “!”
