Shang Wu and Lu Rang looked at the same time.
After they drank a few cups, there was still a pound of baijiu left in the bottle.
“Mr. Wang,” Lu Rang said.
Shang Wu interrupted her directly, "I'll drink it."
She picked up the glass of wine.
Lu Rang stood up and pressed her hand down.
Wang Qizheng sneered coldly, "Does a mere lawyer like you have the right to interrupt? Get out of the way, President Shang has already voluntarily chosen to drink, what are you doing stopping him!"
Shang Wu turned around and looked at Lu Rang with a solemn expression.
“You know how important this is to me, Lu Rang.”
Lu Rang pursed his lips and slowly released her.
Shang Wu picked up the wine cup, steeled his resolve, and downed it in one gulp.
She focused on only two things in the jewelry department: first, marketing Ji Yu's reputation, and second, her designs. She never attended any drinking parties.
I wonder how awful it will feel after drinking this.
But Shangwu had no other choice.
She's capable of anything in order to reopen the case against the business from back then and clear the company's name.
As the liquor went down his throat, Shang Wu's eyes reddened.
Before she could even take a couple of sips, the wine cup was snatched from her hand, and a hand was draped over her shoulder.
Lu Rang put his arm around her and said, "Mr. Wang, you may not know this, but President Shang is allergic to alcohol and cannot drink too much. It would be life-threatening for him. I will drink the rest of the wine for him."
"You'll do it for me?"
Wang Qizheng sneered.
"Is the drink you're drinking the same as the drink Mr. Shang himself is drinking?"
He was angry and unwilling to help Shang Wu so easily, but because Shang Wu could solve his daughter's schooling problem, he had no choice but to agree.
Wang Qizheng could only try to teach Shang Wu a lesson from this, but unexpectedly, another person suddenly appeared and interrupted his interest.
Shang Wu tugged at Lu Rang's sleeve.
"Lu Rang, what did I just tell you?"
Lu Rang ignored him, looked at Wang Qizheng, picked up another unopened bottle of wine from the side, and placed it next to the wine cup.
"I'll have another bottle."
Shang Wu was taken aback and lowered her voice, saying, "Stop messing around, don't ruin my plans."
Wang Qizheng suddenly laughed out loud: "Alright, I've never seen anyone drink three catties of baijiu without changing their expression in all these years. You drink it, I want to see if you can finish it!"
Lu Rang unscrewed the bottle of wine and tilted his head back to gulp it down.
Shang Wu was stunned and stared at him.
Lu Rang's Adam's apple bobbed, and the liquor he hadn't had time to drink trickled down his sharp jaw.
Shang Wu suddenly heard her heart pounding rapidly in her chest.
She held her breath and silently watched Lu Rang drink like a madman, her heart trembling.
After downing a bottle of baijiu, Lu Rang's originally sharp eyes were now clouded with a layer of drunkenness.
He reached for the wine cup, and Shang Wu instinctively wanted to help him.
Wang Qizheng saw through her thoughts and sneered, "Stop with the back-and-forth helping, what are you doing? Can't you show some sincerity? If you want my help, you should at least show me some attitude!"
Shang Wu's fingertips froze, and Lu Rang snatched the wine away.
"I'll keep drinking."
He downed the entire cup in one gulp, turning it upside down, not a drop left, and then waved it at Wang Qizheng.
Is it okay now?
Wang Qizheng's expression was subtle; he had never seen anyone so reckless in helping their boss.
He nodded: "Okay, you're great. I'll help you with this. I'll give you the list of names after you help my daughter transfer schools."
After saying that, Wang Qizheng picked up his coat and quickly left.
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a heavy weight on her shoulder.
Lu Rang leaned against her, his forehead against her shoulder, his fingers tugging at the hem of her clothes. "Restroom."
Shang Wu quickly helped him up and put her arms around his waist. "I'll take you there."
She helped Lu Rang to the restroom and waited anxiously at the door, but heard nothing.
After a while, Lu Rang came out, his eyes red and swollen from the smell of alcohol.
He stared intently at Shang Wu, his gaze somewhat unnatural.
Shang Wu's heart tightened, and she quickly went to greet her: "How are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Lu Rang pulled her closer, his voice hoarse: "I'll do these things from now on."
Shang Wu didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Lu Rang whispered in her ear, "No one can force you to drink."
After saying that, he leaned heavily against Shang Wu.
If it weren't for the wall behind him, Shang Wu would have been tackled to the ground.
She fumbled around in her pockets but couldn't find her phone, so she had to reach into Lu Rang's pocket and take it out.
"What's your phone password, Lu? I'll call your family or a friend."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yan Yue called.
Seeing the familiar name, Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief and answered the call.
"Come here right now, Lu Rang is drunk."
Yan Yue was taken aback: "Drunk? You wait, I'm coming right away. He can't drink!"
Shang Wu was stunned and asked, "Why?"
"He's allergic to alcohol; he gets rashes all over his body after drinking it. I'm coming right away! Give me the address!" Yan Yue said urgently.
Shang Wu was even more astonished.
The call ended, but she remained in the same position as when she answered it.
Lu Rang was still on her, and Shang Wu had to hug his waist tightly to barely support herself, her whole face forced to be buried in his chest.
Lu Rang's embrace was warm, carrying a faint, cool fragrance.
She thought of Lu Rang helping her reject Wang Qizheng, saying that she was allergic to alcohol and that it would be life-threatening.
It turns out this wasn't just an excuse.
It is possible to be allergic to alcohol, which can be life-threatening.
However, this person was Lu Rangzi.
Shang Wu's eyes trembled slightly, as if a cat had gently scratched her heart, giving her an indescribable feeling.
"Lu Rang, hold on, please don't let anything happen to you..."
