After leaving the courthouse, Xue Qiandai burst into laughter three times at Huazhang Square in the capital.
Since her family went bankrupt, she had never been as happy and triumphant as she was today. Then she shouted, "Sister Dai is happy today and wants to treat everyone to dinner. Raise your hand if you want to come!"
In unison, a whole bunch of little hands shot up.
“I went to court twice for you, isn’t that worth a big meal?” That’s Yu Xue.
Xue Qiandai nodded slightly, "Worth it."
"Princess Diana, how could your happiest and most joyful moments be complete without me, your partner?"
Calling someone "Consort Dai" in front of a beauty is like asking for trouble. "Alright, you'll have to bring your family!"
Rong Xiao pointed at Yu Xue, implying why she wasn't bringing her family. "You're my family, Consort Dai," he thought, but lacking the courage to say it, he pulled Jian Yan aside, "My family is here..."
Qin Shu swiftly stepped in front of Jian Yan, saying, "These are my family members."
Jian Yan looked at his tall, thin figure. How long ago was it that he had impersonated her family member in the same way? Times had changed, but hearing it now still warmed her heart. She remained silent.
Rong Xiao, feeling rebuffed, looked around and suddenly pulled Zhao Jiequn over, saying, "Bro, make do with this."
"Who is your family member? I've never seen such a shameless person before." Zhao Jiequn's expression changed instantly. He looked at Xue Qiandai and said, "Dai Dai, count me in for the feast."
Xue Qiandai then turned to Gu Fan and said, "Senior brother, let's go together. You were so handsome in court today, comparable to... my beauty in the debate."
Let's mention Huo Meiren and also share some sweet moments.
Gu Fan replied, "Respect is not as good as obedience."
He counted the heads, "One, two, three... plus me and the beauty, eight people, good, enough for a table of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea."
The dinner was held at Xiangyun Town, a commercial street in the Central Villa District, at a Cantonese restaurant.
Cantonese dishes are served in small portions and are exquisitely presented, but Xue Qiandai didn't want to eat them; she just wanted to drink.
“There will always be some very important people in our lives. I’m very happy that we’re all gathered here today. I’m the host, so you all have to listen to me. I’m going to circle around, and nobody can stop me.”
Xue Qiandai held up a small wine cup; the wine didn't intoxicate her, but she herself was.
Huo Yunchao frowned. His little fairy was usually bold and unrestrained, but this was the first time she had ever been so bold at the dinner table.
"The first toast is to Jane. You know what? When I first returned to China, all my cards were frozen, I was penniless, oh, and I had a suitcase full of luxury goods, but they couldn't fill my stomach. Jane took me in." Xue Qiandai patted Huo Yunchao's shoulder, as if accusing him of his absence. "She lit up my life when I was at my lowest point."
She then downed her drink as a sign of respect, her drinking posture as fluid and graceful as flowing water, exuding elegance and charm.
“Dai Dai, that’s our destiny. Without you, my Taobao store wouldn’t have been established so quickly. We made each other successful.”
Jian Yan couldn't be outdone, so she finished her small glass of wine. She never drinks, and she started coughing after finishing it.
Qin Shu patted her back and smiled at her, witnessing a side of his girl that no one else knew.
"The second cup is for Senior Brother Qin. You're not only my senior brother, but also my matchmaker. You've done a wonderful job, helping me win over my aloof, aloof, unattainable, and virtuous Huo Meiren." Xue Qiandai pinched Huo Yunchao's cheek. The best thing she'd ever done was seduce Huo Meiren. "Cheers!"
Qin Shu smiled, "Junior Sister Xue, it's your own charm that warmed up this stinky rock. Besides, you gave me a red thread, didn't you?"
Qin Shu, who wants to confess his feelings anytime, anywhere.
Jian Xiaoyan doesn't want to see him.
After two cups of wine, Xue Qiandai's face turned crimson. "The third cup is to Senior Brother Gu. Senior Brother, with such good qualities, you're still single. It's truly an injustice."
Gu Fan smiled elegantly, "Then let's respect the principles of Heaven."
If you want to drink, you can find any excuse.
Huo Yunchao picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling for Xue Qiandai, saying, "Eat something first before you drink."
Xue Qiandai refused to eat, holding her wine glass, "My beauty, I'm going to toast my rival in love. Can rivals be friends? I don't know about others, but for these two lawsuits, Yu Xue, you deserve this drink."
Yu Xue shook her head, finding it amusing. "Then you'd better watch out, I haven't given up yet."
Xue Qiandai put her arm around Huo Yunchao's shoulder. "Then you have no chance. This one is mine."
In the blink of an eye, Xue Qiandai had drunk four cups of wine. The wine had a strong aftereffect, and she blinked with a start.
"Everyone, eat first, and don't mind my little drunkard." Huo Yunchao really couldn't do anything about her.
Rong Xiao, holding his wine glass, tried to stand up several times, but he never got a turn. The proud and aloof young man couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Xue Qiandai's wrist, "Consort Dai, it's my turn. I want to drink the nuptial cup with you."
This little shou is too good at playing games. Huo Yunchao stopped Xue Qiandai from reaching out her arm, and smirked, "Rong Xiao, why don't you drink with your family? I think it would be quite a sight to see you all sitting together."
This is a classic example of a game-changer.
Rong Xiao indeed sized up Zhao Jiequn and clicked his tongue, "Old Zhao, I suddenly realized that you're as handsome as a fingernail."
If he can't marry Consort Dai in this life, nor can he be like Ehuang and Nüying with Beauty Huo, it seems... Rong Xiao's thoughts are wandering far away at this moment.
"I won't drink, I want Dai Dai's toast." Zhao Jiequn said with a proud look on her face.
"Consort Dai is Consort Dai of Consort Huo, what are you doing getting involved? We're in the same boat, what's wrong with having a drink?"
Well said.
Xue Qiandai blinked her starry eyes, stepped off the table, and made a gesture of intertwining Rong Xiao and Zhao Jiequn's hands. "Hey, it's pleasing to the eye. Okay, cheers."
The two of them drank the nuptial wine without batting an eye.
After finishing his drink, Zhao Jiequn realized something, spat, and ran to the bathroom.
