Chapter 240 The Drunkard's Intention Is Not to Drink
In addition to the father and son, there was also an elegant man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses. Shen Ci looked again and thought, okay, he knew him too!
The lawyer who represented Director Zhang in his divorce case is Lawyer Qin Yuqin!
Qin Yu was also surprised when he saw Chen Ci. Due to his professional characteristics, he had a very good memory and immediately exclaimed, "Chen Ci?"
"Lawyer Qin, what a coincidence!"
As soon as they met, they were the first to greet each other, which surprised the others.
As a junior, Zhang Heng didn't dare to say anything, but when he saw Shen Ci, he was no longer as shocked as he was at noon. It seemed that he knew in advance that he would see her at the dinner party tonight.
Zhang Yingtian looked at the two of them in surprise: "Qin Lu, do you know Miss Shen?"
Qin Yu adjusted his glasses and nodded with a smile: "I think we know each other. I took over a case entrusted by Miss Shen."
Shen Ci continued, “Lawyer Qin helped my teacher win the lawsuit, and I haven’t thanked you yet!”
"A case that is bound to win is not worth mentioning." Qin Yu said, and his eyes looking at Chen Ci from behind the glasses became slightly profound.
This little girl actually hangs around in the Longcheng circle, and goes in and out with Brother Xizi.
I used to think she was a little special compared to her peers, but I didn't expect her to be so extraordinary.
Yan Wenxi's reaction was still indifferent. While others were talking, he had already taken a seat, and his aura was intimidating without being angry.
Shen Ci naturally sat down next to him, but when he looked up, he saw that the people opposite him were still standing.
Zhang Yingtian didn't dare to sit down because he hadn't greeted Yan Wenxi yet, so he quickly gave Qin Yu a look.
Seeing this, Qin Yu looked at Yan Wenxi and said, "Brother Xizi, this is Director Zhang from the Yingtian Group. I had a misunderstanding with Miss Shen before, and I also alarmed you, so I want to find an opportunity to apologize to Miss Shen and you."
As Qin Yu finished speaking, Zhang Yingtian had already filled his glass. "Brother Xizi, I've long heard of your great name. I was blind before, and my son was spoiled. Anyway, today I come here sincerely to apologize to Miss Chen and Brother Xizi. Thank you for your kindness. I'll drink first as a token of my respect."
After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the cup, which was at least three taels in size.
Zhang Heng turned his eyes away, not understanding what was going on. He quickly imitated his father and drank a glass of white wine. The next second, he grimaced because of the spiciness.
Yan Wenxi didn’t say anything, but just turned his head to look at Shen Ci.
Seeing this, Shen Ci showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and then he picked up the small wine glass in front of him and returned a glass of wine. Only then did Yan Wenxi also pick up the wine glass.
This subtle little action only revealed one clear message, Yan Wenxi would take Shen Ci's decision as the main one today.
Shen Ci drank the glass of wine, which meant that she accepted Zhang Yingtian's apology, so Yan Wenxi followed suit and picked up the glass.
If Shen Ci doesn't move, Yan Wenxi won't move either.
They are all smart people, who can't see the meaning here? But Qin Yu and Zhang Yingtian were a little surprised. They didn't expect that this girl named Chen Ci would be valued so much by Yan Wenxi!
But Shen Ci could also see that Zhang Yingtian was just using the excuse of apology today as an excuse, and his real target was obviously Brother Xizi, not her!
It was simply because he was the only medium through which Zhang Yingtian could contact Brother Xizi, so the other party borrowed him as a ladder to climb up to Brother Xizi.
There was no need for Chen Ci to explain these things, Brother Xizi must have understood them himself.
"Everyone, please sit down." Chen Ci looked at them calmly and said, "Don't talk about apologizing or not. I have already resolved the previous matter in my own way. From the moment I left, that matter was over."
It wasn't something that could be discussed publicly, and Chen Ci didn't want to talk about it, but just this one sentence was enough to scare Zhang Heng so much that he didn't dare to look up.
"Miss Shen is very courageous. I will give him a good beating when I get back. I will lock him up at home for a month or two and not allow him to go out." Zhang Yingtian followed Shen Ci's words.
Chen Ci smiled without saying anything. Zhang Heng had been beaten like that. Wouldn't he need to be well cared for for a month or two? Otherwise, how could he face people outside?
At this moment, Yan Wenxi suddenly spoke softly, "It's hard to change one's nature. I have no other requests. Ah Ci is my sister. Don't mess with her again in Longcheng."
"That's for sure!" Zhang Yingtian nodded repeatedly. Facing Yan Wenxi, he no longer had the tough attitude he had before. He raised the wine glass with a respectful look on his face: "I'll have another glass as punishment. I hope you're not angry, Brother Xizi."
Yan Wenxi's fingers slid slowly across the rim of the cup, and he said nonchalantly, "If Ah Ci isn't angry, then I naturally won't be angry either."
"Miss Chen Ci, let's have a drink." Qin Yu took the initiative to pick up the wine glass. When he stood up, he stretched out his long legs under the table and kicked Zhang Yingtian hard.
He is too purposeful and has always focused on Brother Xizi. In fact, Chen Ci is the key. As long as he can make Chen Ci happy, Brother Xizi's intentions will collapse on their own.
As it happened, his kick hit the numb tendon in Zhang Yingtian's calf, and the force was quite strong.
Zhang Yingtian was standing fine, but suddenly he felt his left foot go numb, and he lost his balance and fell to the left.
"dad!"
"Director Zhang!"
Zhang Heng screamed subconsciously, and Qin Yu quickly put down his wine glass to help him. Fortunately, Zhang Yingtian held on to a chair beside him and did not fall too badly, but he was caught off guard by this loss of composure. In addition, he drank half a catty of white wine in a row, which made his face flush red.
"Mr. Zhang, don't drink like this. It's just the beginning and you're already drinking too much." Chen Ci joked when he saw this.
Yan Wenxi also spoke up, "Since my sister has said she's not angry anymore, you don't have to be too nervous. Just sit down and finish your meal honestly."
The atmosphere is so tense, which is a waste of all the delicious food and wine on the table.
Zhang Yingtian nodded awkwardly, and Qin Yu sighed speechlessly. After sitting down, he picked up the wine again and said, "Miss Shen, I toast you."
Shen Ci responded generously. Yan Wenxi, who was standing beside her, picked up a piece of crab with his chopsticks and gave it to Shen Ci: "The crab here is very delicious. Try it."
"Thank you, brother."
Seeing Yan Wenxi pick up his chopsticks, the others also picked up their chopsticks and started eating. However, they stopped talking about the previous incident, which made the topic of conversation at the dinner table disappear, and the atmosphere became a little tense for a while.
Seeing this, Qin Yu took the initiative to speak: "Brother Xizi, actually, Director Zhang has another important matter to tell you today."
"Oh, yes, it is." Zhang Yingtian realized what was happening and nodded quickly. "I want to apologize, so I have to show some sincerity. This meal is definitely not enough."
Chen Ci was chewing on a crab roe in her mouth, her eyes looking at Zhang Yingtian with a smile. She knew that the other party had ulterior motives and was using the excuse of apology to have other plans for Brother Xizi!
