Chapter 09 Gathering of Heroes
"You are such a despicable person, chasing me and asking for a fight?" Si Wan laughed. Although she said this, she did not move an inch. She knew that Gu Meiyan had no ill intentions, so she let it go.
As she used to say, people in the underworld don't care about trivial matters.
"So you are from Kyoto." Si Wan leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed look.
"Boss, what do you say now?" Zhang Chen looked around. The other two colleagues looked like idiots, so he had to ask the backbone in the end.
Yu Yan, who had been pushed away, seemed to have just realized what had happened. He looked at Gu Meiyan with a serious face: "...Mr. Gu, please be mindful of your words and actions."
The upper class circles in Kyoto consist of only a few families, and it is no secret in the circle that the Gu family made their fortune by reselling cultural relics.
Rumor has it that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of the Gu family retired from the criminal world and returned to the right path. To this day, they have earned the reputation of an artistic family.
Putting aside Gu Meiyan's bad reputation, Yu Yan had a lot of business dealings with the Gu family, so he naturally knew who Gu Meiyan was.
Not someone he could afford to offend.
Saying "Please, Mr. Gu, be careful with your words and actions" is equivalent to teaching Gu Meiyan how to do things, which seems to have offended him.
Gu Meiyan didn't even glance at Yu Yan, and said in a light tone: "Oh, the people of Huading are really... a gathering of heroes."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Chen stood up from his seat, looking like he was ready to fight.
…………
"Achen." Yu Yan's forehead was throbbing with veins: "You've had too much to drink."
"Okay." Si Wan's face had turned cold. Although she didn't know much about Gu Meiyan's background, she could guess most of it from Yu Yan's reaction.
"Mr. Gu, if you have something to say, please speak up. If not, I won't keep you here. Today is a gathering for our colleagues. As for the rest... there's plenty of time to come."
Gu Meiyan curled her lips: "...It was just a joke, it's not me who's making such a fuss."
“…”
Is he feeling wronged?
Si Wan: "Are you okay?"
Gu Meiyan: "Yes, I wanted to invite you to Yashe Auction as an appraiser, but I didn't expect Huading to act so quickly. I'm not giving you face, so I want to see what you have to say."
"Appraisers are not a rare species. They are everywhere. If Yashe wants something, she can just pick it up. Why are you looking for me?"
Si Wan regretted asking this question as she underestimated the extent of Gu Meiyan's behavior.
Then he said, "Appraisers aren't a rare species, but you are. You made me feel... happy."
He wanted to say it was pleasure, but maybe he was afraid because he remembered the beating he got, so he changed his words.
"No." Si Wan didn't want to waste time talking to him anymore and flexed her wrists twice.
Gu Meiyan naturally saw it and curled her lips: "Don't rush to hit me, how about making a bet?"
"Hmm?" Si Wan raised her eyebrows.
bet?
This... is what she loves?
Living in the Ming Dynasty, was there ever a day when you didn't gamble with your "brothers"?
She feels that life is meaningless if she doesn't strip their pants clean.
"What are you betting on?" Si Wan became interested.
Gu Meiyan pointed at the wine on the table and said, "This is it. Whoever drinks it loses. As for the spoils...it's naturally you."
Si Wan snorted and laughed. What did she think?
She has never lost in drinking, so why should she be afraid?
"Okay, what if you lose?" Si Wan had already thought about what she wanted.
"As long as I have it, I can give you whatever you want, how about that?" Gu Meiyan grew up in a wine jar, he is very confident.
Si Wan: "100 million."
"No problem." Gu Meiyan accepted it happily, or even if Si Wan asked for 1 billion, he would dare to agree.
"Then come on." Si Wan looked calm, but in fact she was almost dying of laughter.
The corner of his mouth is harder to suppress than an AK.
"Hey, little darling, what are you thinking about? I'm not going to bet with you." Gu Meiyan raised his tail and looked back.
"?" Si Wan turned around and said, "..."
"800 million." It was Yu Jinnian who came over: "I can play with you."
Everyone: “…”
Dai Ke's anger, which had just been suppressed when he came back from the bathroom, instantly rose to the surface again.
Oh, I've never seen this before. Yu Jinnian actually had a drinking contest with someone?
An unprecedented panic slowly spread through her body. Various emotions took turns mocking and enraging her.
Si Wan, once a stupid, despised loser, is now qualified to sit with her former "abuser".
Is it just because you lost weight and became more beautiful?
Dai Ke is beautiful, there is no doubt about it.
Even compared with the current Si Wan, she is not inferior to her in any way?
Ten years have passed since she pursued Yu Jinnian in college. She wrote a confession letter with a try-it attitude, but she didn't expect the man to say he was casual.
After three years of campus romance, they were considered a match made in heaven in the eyes of others.
But no one knew that Yu Jinnian had never touched her, not even the most basic initiative of holding hands.
She got angry about this and, like all girls, 'threatened' her loved one, just wanting to be coaxed.
"Let's break up," she said.
What about Yu Jinnian? He said, "It's up to you."
Three years later, he looked glorious in front of others but looked ridiculous behind their backs. To this day, Dai Ke still regrets his decision.
She laughed at her own arrogance. How dare she break up in the first place?
The memories are fragmented, but the most unforgettable one is the most painful one for her, because Yu Jinnian never gave her love.
"Hmph, so what if you're back?" Dai Ke suppressed his anger and walked towards Si Wan.
6 bottles of whiskey and 6 bottles of Moutai.
The two men each took half and drank it at equal speeds.
Without saying a word, each with his own style formed an unprecedented scene in this enchanting night.
Dai Ke sat down without interrupting, which was her strength. She looked at Si Wan without betraying any emotion, simply smiling, as if she knew everything. This invisibly announced something.
Some spectators had gathered around the sofa, the men were sympathizing and the women were posing coquettishly.
A bottle of Moutai was almost empty, and there was nothing wrong with the two men not seeing each other.
"No wonder my father often praises you for your 360-degree perfection in front of me." When Gu Meiyan said this, a childish look appeared on her face.
Yu Jinnian chuckled calmly, "Your father is a man who knows how to praise people."
Si Wan and Dai Ke's eyes met and they returned to their respective positions when Yu Jinnian finished speaking.
The sommelier opened the wine, creating a brief period of blank time.
"Anian, look at how beautiful Si Wan has become. I feel ashamed of myself." Dai Ke said softly, and there was a sense of happiness in her voice that everyone could hear.
Gu Meiyan didn't say anything this time. She sat with her legs spread out, looking at Yu Jinnian with interest like a 'master'.
Others may not know about the past, but he knows it all.
Now he wants to see what will happen when he meets Jinnian.
Yu Jinnian curled his lips: "It's just skin, what's the comparison?"
Gu Meiyan: "...Baby? Did you see that? Yu Dong is not such a superficial person."
Si Wan lowered her eyes, her expression darkening, "What does his depth have to do with me?"
