Chapter 83 Let's Play Big
Kuang Junmeng called for help early the next morning.
He didn't contact Lu Xiwen, knowing that the guy was good at leaving people to die, so he went directly to Pei Wu.
In theory, Pei Wu should have woken up by now, but today was an exception. Lu Xiwen wasn't by her side, so Pei Wu turned over and lay lazily on the bed. Her voice was hoarse from just waking up, "Young Master Kuang, what's wrong?"
Kuang Junmeng fell into an eerie silence, then became cautious: "Did I disturb you?"
Pei Wu: "..."
"What are you thinking about? I just woke up."
"Then you'd better help me out." Kuang Junmeng immediately started complaining, "That beast Fang Xiao, are you sure he was staying in the research institute and not a temple all this time? How did he let the child become like this? These past few days I've been taking him out, either drinking and eating or skydiving and skiing. I feel like the owner of that artificial snow park is practically drooling when he sees me! I strained my back yesterday, and I really can't do any more of this."
Pei Wu couldn't help but chuckle, "Where are you? I'll be there in a bit."
"You're really coming, Pei Zhu? You can't lie to me."
"Come on."
Just as he hung up the phone, Lu Xiwen pushed open the door and came in.
"Whose call was that?" he asked casually, walking to the bedside and first touching Pei Wu's forehead.
“Kuang Junmeng called us over,” Pei Wu said. “He can’t control Fang Xiao anymore.”
"How strange."
Lu Xiwen frowned slightly.
"You have a slight fever?" Pei Wu sat up. "I can feel it, but it's nothing."
Pei Wu went to wash up, thinking it was because she had been exposed to the wind for too long yesterday.
After breakfast, Pei Wu said to Lu Xiwen, "You can go ahead with your work. I'll go check on things and then head back to the company."
"Together."
Lu Xiwen will absolutely not leave Pei Wu's side for even a moment now.
Kuang Junmeng and his group booked the entire top floor of an entertainment club, which also had its own swimming pool.
Upon entering, Pei Wu saw a neatly dressed person floating on the pool with several bottles. "Playing this big," she thought.
The person floating was none other than Cao Guan.
Hearing the noise, Cao Guan turned over, floated past Pei Wu, and weakly greeted her, "Good morning."
Pei Wu waved her hand: "But you don't look at all uneasy."
“I’ve been drinking for three days.” Cao Guan gestured a five, his eyes glazed over. “I’d rather I’d never met Kuang Junmeng.”
Pei Wu thought to herself, "This doesn't stop you from being available whenever I call."
When he and Lu Xiwen found Kuang Junmeng, the man was lecturing the staggering Fang Xiao: "Do you know that this is retaliation for your consumption?" Kuang Junmeng pressed his side, it seemed that he was not joking when he told Pei Wu that he had strained his back. "A person should have a bottom line. More importantly, if you want to die, die yourself. Don't always drag your brothers down with you."
"Brothers for life, let's walk together." Fang Xiao popped open another bottle of wine with a "snap".
Kuang Junmeng let out a painful "I'm going to die."
Lu Xiwen stepped forward and kicked Fang Xiao's foot: "That's enough for you."
Fueled by alcohol, Fang Xiao asked timidly, "What, you're coming?"
Lu Xi chuckled and replied, "Sure."
Fang Xiao belatedly realized what he had said, but it was too late to run away; Lu Xiwen grabbed him and pinned him down.
Fang Xiao still needed to discuss the next clinical trial of the inhibitor with Fang Xiao, who, while wearing a mask of pain, assured him, "It will definitely pass. I guarantee it with my life."
Lu Xiwen drank the wine as if it were water, "Okay, I can arrange everything after that."
Kuang Junmeng was grateful for Pei Wu's generosity and tried to stuff peanuts into his hand, but after a long time he couldn't get them right and they fell to the ground.
Pei Wu was both amused and exasperated: "You should all go back and rest in a bit."
If Fang Xiao had known Lu Xiwen would come, he would have run away long ago. Now, no matter what Lu Xiwen asks, his brain, which is about to shut down, has to think before he can answer.
Pei Wu went to find some pastries to eat, and the waiter had just brought them to her in a spot further inside.
I grabbed a Chinese-style ruyi cake and a blueberry mousse, and was about to head back when I overheard people whispering among themselves.
"I just saw Mr. Lu arrive."
"Who? The one who's known for his 'Proud and Harmonious' persona?"
"nonsense."
"Tsk, you're saying they're both Alphas, how come there's such a big difference?" someone exclaimed. "Top-tier, it seems like Hongdu only has this one top-tier."
A group of people were playing cards around a round table, and they were clearly quite drunk. Among them was a familiar face. Pei Wu recognized him as Liu Tangxiu, Cao Guan's cousin. Previously, at Fang Xiao's yacht party in Haishi, Liu Tangxiu had almost been kicked onto the buffet table by his own cousin.
Liu Tangxiu seemed to have poor sportsmanship; he frowned for a long time before casually throwing out a card, and his next player immediately followed suit with a cheerful laugh.
"It's just that you were born into a good family, what's there to envy?" The young man next to Liu Tangxiu said dismissively. He had an earring on his left ear that didn't suit his temperament at all. He had a long face and triangular eyes, which made him give a rather strange first impression.
After a moment of silence, someone half-jokingly said, "Zuo Wenxing, you've got quite the big mouth."
"That's true." Zuo Wenxing snorted: "Reincarnation is a skill. If I had a high-level father and a high-quality mother, I might be a top-tier one too."
"Instead of a B+, right?"
"Get out!" Zuo Wenxing kicked the table lightly and his face darkened. "That's exactly right. Don't disbelieve me. Don't be fooled by Lu Xiwen's arrogant attitude. Isn't he just relying on pheromones? If a few more high-level experts come, we can still teach him a lesson."
Liu Tangxiu said irritably, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to teach him a lesson. Stop bragging and play your card."
Zuo Wenxing was delighted: "You said you lost, so what's with the cold face?"
Just as Liu Tang was about to speak, someone patted him on the shoulder.
He was wondering who was so blind when he turned his head and saw an exceptionally handsome face that looked somewhat familiar.
The other person's expression was friendly, but Liu Tangxiu felt inexplicably uneasy. "Who are you looking for?"
“I’ll play for you,” Pei Wu said gently. “If you win, it’s yours; if you lose, it’s on me.”
"Oh my..." Someone looked Liu Tangxiu and the Omega up and down, indicating that they didn't recognize them.
Liu Tangxiu stood up and finally remembered who the other person was.
Lu Xiwen's assistant, but according to his cousin, the two were talking about Zuo Wenxing, that unlucky guy, who was making sarcastic remarks in private and was overheard by the person's boyfriend.
Liu Tangxiu tentatively asked, "You?"
“Yes.” Pei Wu pulled over a stool and sat down. “How about we play something big?”
Zuo Wenxing felt a pang of jealousy. He and Liu Tangxiu only got along superficially but didn't have much of a relationship. In reality, he disliked everyone. He thought Lu Xiwen was pretentious all the time, and Liu Tangxiu was no exception. He was a complete playboy who relied on his family's wealth and his cousin Cao Guan to live a life of unparalleled comfort.
How come he doesn't get such a good opportunity?
This Omega in front of me looks high-quality, how could he possibly be interested in Liu Tangxiu?
Thinking this through, Zuo Wenxing cleared his throat, leaned back, crossed his legs, and, looking very confident, asked, "How do you want to play?"
Pei Wu looked up slightly; it was an eyesore beyond belief.
