After Chu Liyue's guidance, Bai Jingxuan immediately found the right direction and fed the animals with even more enthusiasm.
Seeing this, Chu Yuntian, who couldn't find a topic to talk about, also joined the group.
Thus, under the precise guidance of several people taking turns, the exquisite rotating disc moved like a moving wheel, hardly stopping.
Chu Yuntian: "Little Wujie, have some of this."
Bai Jingxuan: "My dear Wujie, do you like this?"
Chu Liyue: "A-Jie, be good, drink some soup."
Chu Mingcheng: "..."
Chu Nanfeng: "..."
Chu Feihong: "..."
Mu Wanqing: "..."
Chu Yichen: "..."
So this banquet was really just to welcome Xiao Wujie, and therefore none of us are worthy to eat?
Finally, Xiao Wujie spoke up and said he couldn't eat anymore, and the spinning wheel was able to rest for a while.
Everyone: Finally, we don't have to watch the dishes we want to eat fly past us anymore!
After being fed by several people in turns, Xiao Wujie was soon full. Now, he looked at the bowl of hot soup that Chu Liyue had served him and sipped it slowly.
Just when he thought the family banquet was over, Chu Yichen poured two glasses of red wine and pushed one of them in front of Xiao Wujie.
Everyone present held high positions, and they often discussed business over drinks.
When it comes to drinking, they are all experts.
However, none of us are heavy drinkers, and we all know that drinking can lead to trouble. In addition, we've had all sorts of good wines before, so at family banquets, unless it's a special occasion, very few people drink.
Chu Yichen's sudden action instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Looking at the wine glass filled with bright red wine in front of him, Xiao Wujie narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Yichen with great interest.
Hey bro, you're up to something!
Meeting Xiao Wujie's gaze, Chu Yichen's handsome face revealed a warm smile as he lightly raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Wu Jie, it's been so many years, you've grown into such a handsome young man. Today's family banquet was held to welcome you back, how about we raise a glass together?"
He was the same age as Chu Nanfeng, but a few months younger. To outsiders, he was called the Second Young Master Chu, but when facing Xiao Wujie, he naturally referred to himself as the Second Brother.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wujie's lips curled into a handsome and kind smile.
Over the years, he has remained behind the scenes, outwardly managing Chu Liyue's businesses in Bingcheng, but in reality, he has played a significant role in many events in the capital.
Although Chu Feihong and his wife were aware of this, they did not know much about it. They simply regarded him as a sickly man with some talent but not long to live, and did not pay much attention to him.
Only Chu Yichen secretly paid close attention to him, and even harbored some subtle hostility towards him.
His shadow was behind the SL assassin at the Ice City auction.
Xiao Wujie was about to pick up the wine cup in front of him when Chu Liyue pushed it away a little.
She raised her deep, cold eyes to look at Chu Yichen, her gaze devoid of any emotion, her voice equally icy:
"He's not in good health and can't drink alcohol."
Xiao Wujie didn't drink much alcohol when he was young, and later when he developed health problems, he never touched a drop of alcohol again.
Chu Yichen knew he was unwell, yet he still urged him to drink; who knows what he was really up to?
There was no way she would let Xiao Wujie drink that cup of wine.
"Liyue, just a glass of red wine."
Chu Yichen smiled and looked at her as he spoke.
“Then I’ll drink it for him.”
Chu Liyue's attitude remained cold and unyielding, showing no sign of backing down.
Seeing her firm attitude, a fleeting, complex emotion flashed across Chu Yichen's eyes.
Xiao Wujie, on the other hand, wore a simple and kind smile and watched his reaction intently.
Little brother, you're getting impatient!
"Liyue, it's just a cup of wine, there's no need to make such a fuss!"
"Besides, Wu Jie will need to find something to do when he comes to the capital. You can't always cover for him at bars."
Seeing an opportunity, Mu Wanqing, who had been silent all along, immediately began to speak sarcastically.
"I brought him to the capital to recuperate. As long as he's willing, he doesn't have to do anything. I can protect him for the rest of my life!"
Chu Liyue gracefully crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair, holding a wine glass in one hand and crossing her arms with the other.
Her stunningly beautiful face was expressionless, her indifferent eyes swept across the entire room, and her cold and authoritative words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
From Chu Nanfeng's perspective, he looked absolutely stunning!
Doing nothing and just loafing around is his lifelong wish. Why don't you ever hear anyone say that to him?
The entire room fell into a brief silence because of Chu Liyue's words.
Upon hearing her domineering and cold words, a deep, strange light flashed in Chu Yichen's eyes.
He immediately stood up and turned his gaze to Xiao Wujie beside her.
"No calamity, it's just a cup of wine. Can't you have a drink with your second brother?"
He stood under the soft light, which cast shadows on his face, his eyes hidden in the dim light, like two bottomless lakes, making it impossible to guess his emotions at that moment.
He was tall and imposing, and although his words were kind, his aura was sharp and aggressive.
Sitting in the chair, Xiao Wujie, pale-faced, was now at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
No one in the room understood what he meant, not even Chu Feihong and his wife.
Upon hearing this, Chu Liyue's pretty face turned icy, and the cold light in her eyes intensified. She put down her long, black-stockinged legs, and the slender high heels clicked on the ground. She was about to get up and teach him a lesson.
Xiao Wujie, who was standing to the side, gently pressed her shoulder and stood up first.
