Xu Zhaoyue didn't think much of it. It was only when she saw Fang's second brother pulling Yue Lanxing that she had a question. "He was chosen from the martial arts school to be my bodyguard. I asked him to ask my second brother for a favor before."
"I thought he was quite capable, so I promoted him to steward. Brother, look at his demeanor, don't I look very prestigious when I take him out?" Xu Zhaoyue was still teasing.
When Brother Fang heard her description, he wasn't sure if his feeling was right. The Yue family and the Fang family in the capital had a close working relationship. Logically speaking, there weren't many people with the surname Yue, and they were all related to each other to some extent. But if someone came from the Yue family, they shouldn't be working as a bodyguard.
Of course, one cannot connect Yue Lanxing and the Yue family in the capital based on a single surname, but Brother Fang had met the head of the Yue family about two years ago. As a major branch of the family, he had to go back and report.
Thinking of the Yue family head's appearance, Yue Lanxing's appearance was so similar to his that one would almost believe he was an illegitimate son of Fang Da Ge.
Although Brother Fang was shocked, he didn't show it on his face. He decided to just pretend he had never met this person before. He watched his second brother clink glasses with the other person, thinking, "Sigh, there's no need to cause trouble for myself."
"Big brother, what are you two talking about?" Fang Sange asked curiously as he saw his eldest brother and Xu Zhaoyue whispering to each other.
Just as Xu Zhaoyue was about to explain, Brother Fang changed the subject, "Do you want to hear about business matters?" Xu Zhaoyue thought that Brother Fang was not telling the truth because he was concerned about Third Brother's bad attitude towards Yue Lanxing earlier, so she nodded in agreement.
Given this situation, Brother Fang hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, you guys talk, I don't want to listen anymore."
By the end of the meal, only Fang Erge was completely drunk. Yue Lanxing was also a little tipsy, but Xu Zhaoyue knew he wasn't truly sober. Since their business wouldn't be discussed until the afternoon, Xu Zhaoyue had someone take Yue Lanxing back to his room so everyone could rest for a while before continuing their conversation.
Xu Zhaoyue and the others were led by servants to their bedroom, which belonged to them.
"You can go now. We can divide it ourselves. I'll call you if we need anything." Xiao Nan spoke with the servant who brought them up for a while, then took the keys and let them leave.
Xiao Nan chose a room closest to the stairs and had the two of them put Yue Lanxing in it.
"Luckily I'm strong, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to move him." Xue Huzi helped Yue Lanxing into the room. He had just put him on a stool to rest for a while when he saw Yue Lanxing stand up directly from the stool. "I'm fine."
Yue Lanxing stood up and straightened her sleeves that she had rolled up while drinking. Her face was flushed but she remained calm. They had seen how much she had drunk at the table, but now it was as if she had only taken a few sips. She was really impressive.
At this moment, Xu Zhaoyue was outside the door and met Yue Lanxing's gaze. Seeing that he had noticed her, she nodded gently to him and said, "Don't be stubborn. Even if you're not drunk, you should rest. If your second brother finds out, you probably won't be able to leave tomorrow. He'll stop you from drinking any more."
"Yes, Miss, I'll rest now." Yue Lanxing understood; he had to wait for Fang Erge to sober up before he could leave.
