Chapter 13: Beating a dog depends on its owner
Li Junshan had seen "Wen Shuang" before. Even though he pretended to be innocent and harmless, the stench of years of scheming could seep through his bones. He clung to the powerful and was only interested in fame and fortune. He would do anything for these things, which was disgusting to watch.
So even though Wen Shuang, contrary to her usual behavior, wanted to bring Xinlan back to life, Li Junshan never thought about guilt and compensation.
Perhaps Xinlan and Yu Feng both have unknown value, and Wen Shuang thought it would be better to squeeze them out completely than to waste them.
Li Junshan still felt very disdainful of this person.
He corked the red wine and threw it on the ground. The base of the bottle hit the table with a "dong" sound. Li Junshan looked amused, with a cold look in his eyes. "Actually, you can ask my brother for help. Just blow this bottle in one breath."
Lei Wenxu clearly saw Wen Shuang breathe a sigh of relief.
Does this mean you can drink a lot?
Not really.
Wen Shuang just remembered a description of the original body in the novel. At the end of the plot, the cannon fodder had to go his miserable and desperate way. The original body became a rat crossing the street. After being kicked out by the landlord, he went to a large entertainment club to work as a gigolo. Until this moment, he still held the naive idea of hooking up with one or two powerful children. As luck would have it, he met a mortal enemy whom he had humiliated before. The mortal enemy became the beloved of a domineering president. In order to make his baby happy, the domineering president had someone stuff a bottle of red wine into the back of the original body... The scene was bloody and brutal, and the comment section was full of applause.
To be honest, if Wen Shuang had not been in this body, he would have sighed, "Evil will be punished by evil", but he happened to be cannon fodder, so when he saw Li Junshan picking up the red wine, he subconsciously thought of that scene, his hair stood on end, and he was ready to run away at any time.
Luckily it was just drinking.
Compared to the fate of the original body, drinking is nothing!
Wen Shuang thought for a moment and stepped forward, staring at Li Junshan and asked seriously: "If I drink, will you give Xinlan a chance?" He knew how to speak well, and even at this moment he was negotiating, not trading.
This attitude made Li Junshan feel a little less angry for no reason. He nodded and said, "If you drink it, I'll think about it."
It's most likely a trap, but Wen Shuang has no choice. Let's put it this way, the setting given to him by this world is very fucked up. Even if he turns around and leaves, Lei Wenxu is one of the best figures in the domestic wine industry. He and Li Junshan are childhood friends. As long as Li Junshan doesn't let go, Lei Wenxu will do him a favor. Even if he doesn't run into Li Junshan today, even if Lei Wenxu agrees, they will still meet one day in the future, and the plot will not change at all. The only solution is to let Li Junshan let it go.
Wen Shuang almost never drank alcohol in his previous life, and his relatives and friends all drank tea instead of alcohol, so he had no concrete idea of his own alcohol consumption.
I think I can...
Wen Shuang looked conflicted.
Li Junshan thought he was scared and said happily, "If you regret it, get down from here now. Yu Feng hates you to the core anyway. Even if you do this, it won't shake his determination to tear your tendons and skin you alive."
Wen Shuang took a deep breath, and under the gaze of Li Junshan and Lei Wenxu, she picked up the wine bottle and started blowing.
This stuff is fine if you savor it carefully, but it's really unbearable to drink like this. After Wen Shuang took two sips, the smell of red wine made his head dizzy and he wanted to vomit, but then he thought of the day when Yu Feng got drunk at the table in order to revive Xinlan and treat his mother's illness, and he had no dignity at all. He felt that these compensations were nothing. He always had a premonition that only by undoing some of the wrong things his original body had done could he carve out a path of his own in this world.
Li Junshan had a mocking look on his face at first, but as the wine ran out, he frowned slightly and could no longer smile.
He didn't expect Wen Shuang to have such a good alcohol tolerance. No matter, if one bottle is not enough, then two bottles, if two bottles are not enough, then a box. This bastard was so cruel when he played with his brother's feelings back then. What is this little revenge now?
When Li Junshan thought about it, he immediately felt justified and reached for the other unopened bottle.
Lei Wenxu ate his food while watching the fun, and handed Li Junshan a bottle opener. They were childhood friends, just as cruel as ever.
"Bang!" Wen Shuang finished the bottle of red wine in a hurry. She felt that the wine had reached her teeth and would come out if she spoke. Her stomach was bloated and it felt very uncomfortable. But after a few seconds, the discomfort passed. Her body seemed to slowly sink into a ball of cotton wool and became light. Her reason was like a loose ball of thread. Wen Shuang felt that everything was reasonable, but was gradually getting out of control.
"Have you finished drinking?" Li Junshan asked.
Wen Shuang looked at him straight, her eyes unfocused: "Yeah."
Li Junshan became interested when he saw this, and seemed to have thought of something, so he asked, "Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of helping Yu Feng?"
"Terrible!" Wen Shuang started to spit.
Li Junshan suddenly felt that Wen Shuang was very interesting. Anyone could say that Yu Feng was miserable, but did he deserve it?
“So you have a change of heart.”
They say people speak the truth when they're drunk, and Wen Shuang was no exception. He immediately revealed a horrible expression, his cheeks flushing rapidly: "I can't help it, I can't help it, you know I, I came here inexplicably, and now I'm taking the blame, such a big pot..." Wen Shuang tremblingly made a circle with his hands to Li Junshan, then sank down, his tone sad: "It fell on me!"
Li Junshan: "..." Are they talking about the same thing?
Immediately afterwards, Wen Shuang caught sight of the wine in Li Junshan's hand and snatched it away. She sat down on a chair, holding the bottle and began to drink, complaining as she drank: "I woke up from a nap and came here. Who can I complain to?"
"I've never encountered such a ridiculous thing since I was born!"
"Everyone is chasing me and biting me, I can't give in..."
“…Wuwuwu.”
“God is so unfair!!!”
Li Junshan: “…”
Lei Wenxu: “…”
They were all veterans at the drinking table, especially Lei Wenxu, whose ability to see through people's hearts was first-rate. Don't use your poor acting skills in front of him, but at this moment, it seemed that Wen Shuang was indeed so drunk that even her mother didn't recognize her.
Lei Wenxu whispered: "Are you sure that this person did all those things?"
Li Junshan refused, "I can lie to you"
Lei Wenxu rarely showed a hint of doubt: "It shouldn't be... He looks so useless."
Wen Shuang suddenly looked up, with a hint of sharpness hidden in her confusion, "Who are you talking about?"
Lei Wenxu didn't answer for a while.
Just then, Wen Shuang's cell phone rang, and the calls were very urgent. He made a pause gesture and tapped the answer button for a long time. Both Li Junshan and Lei Wenxu could see the words "Mr. Xuan" clearly.
Xuanzhe
Lei Wenxu had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, drunk people not only like to seek death themselves, but also like to drag others down with them.
"Hello!" Wen Shuang yelled into the phone.
Li Junshan suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
Xuanzhe was almost deafened by the shout.
After a brief tinnitus, he narrowed his eyes dangerously and said coldly: "Where is it?"
"I'm drinking with Young Master Li!" Wen Shuang completely collapsed on the stool. "Young Master Li Junshan! He's already treated me to two or three bottles!"
Wasn't Li Junshan still on edge with Wen Shuang that night? How did they get drunk?
Xuanzhe suppressed his anger temporarily and said, "Mr. Dilanda may have to come out tonight and need you to translate."
The private room was dead silent, and Xuanzhe's voice was unusually clear. Lei Wenxu and Li Junshan both held their breath and concentrated.
Wen Shuang took a long time to process this, "But, but I'm off work."
Li Junshan covered his face with his hands. Even though he didn't like Wen Shuang, he couldn't bear to look at her at this moment.
Xuanzhe said word by word: "Wenshuang, don't get drunk with me. If you don't come, you will never come again in this life."
Wen Shuang paused: "I'm not drunk..." His voice became lower and lower: "Why are you so bad-tempered? You are so arrogant and conceited, and your temper is like ice."
Cao Nanyu, who was next to Xuanzhe, was already silently reciting the mantra for rebirth.
Xuanzhe lost his patience and was about to hang up the phone to kick Wen Shuang out completely when he heard the man's soft voice, "But you are the best person to me since I came to this world..."
Xuanzhe paused.
Wen Shuang was overflowing with emotions. He had been a smart kid, and he pretended to be stupid occasionally just to make his life less tiring. People in this world were often cold-hearted, and caring too much would only hurt himself. But he was alone, and no matter how calm he was in this situation surrounded by enemies, he could not say that he was not afraid at all. Xuan Zhe had contempt and ridicule for all living beings in his bones, but he would not wantonly destroy a person's future. Even if he tried and doubted again, he did not step Wen Shuang into the ground.
When he fainted in the hotel that night and Xuanzhe caught him, Wen Shuang felt that this embrace was particularly solid.
Instinctively, he would trust Xuan Zhe a little more.
This person just said a few ordinary words. Xuanzhe had reason to suspect that he was playing the victim, but inexplicably, his long-held goal was suddenly achieved, which was to tear off Wen Shuang's mask. At this moment, he actually felt that this gentle, soft-spoken person with no lethality was the real Wen Shuang.
Then Xuanzhe said something he would never say in his life, "Send me the location."
His voice was low and mellow, reminding Wen Shuang of the golden afternoon in autumn. She was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. She mumbled, "I don't know..."
"Let Li Junshan answer the phone." Xuanzhe said in a deep voice.
Li Junshan's grandfather had been favored by the Xuan family in his early years. Li Junshan was a playboy, and he was frightened when he saw Xuan Zhe. He took the phone away and swallowed his saliva: "Mr. Xuan..."
Xuanzhe was silent for two seconds, and then there was the sound of a lighter. The man took a deep breath and exhaled gently: "Being a dog depends on its owner. Li Shao, have you asked me about Wen Shuang?"
