Chapter 64: Hongmen Banquet 1



Song Shishi arrived at the agreed restaurant and pushed open the door of the private room.

Those familiar yet unfamiliar faces appeared before her one by one.

Chen Jiahe was talking to someone else. When she heard the noise, she turned around and looked at her.

Chen Jiahe exchanged a glance with Fang Hui beside her, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she turned around and walked towards Song Shishi.

"Shishi, why did you come just now? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

Song Shishi had a smile on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes. She glanced around the room and explained, "Something happened on the way and delayed me."

"It's good enough that our Miss Song can come today. It doesn't matter if she's late, don't you think?"

Standing at the innermost end of the round table, near the window, a short man spoke loudly.

This man's name is He Weijun. He always liked to follow Meng Xunzhou around, but Meng Xunzhou despised him for his bad character and disliked him since childhood.

...

...

She remembered that He Weijun had liked Chen Jiahe since childhood, but he was not good-looking, not tall, and his job was not the best, so Chen Jiahe looked down on him.

But even so, He Weijun still obeyed everything Chen Jiahe said.

This time is probably no exception.

Chen Jiahe's face flashed with pride. He pulled Song Shishi's arm and said in a pretentious manner, "That's right. You are the protagonist today."

What kind of protagonist? I'm afraid they are all waiting to laugh at her.

In fact, after her rebirth, Song Shishi initially just wanted to live a good life and had no intention of taking revenge on anyone.

But she found that sometimes you can't always do what you want.

Some people will constantly cause trouble for you and keep bothering you.

They just can't stand you being well and want to mess up your life.

For example, Zhou Xingxue, An Jinsheng, Chen Jiahe...

She suddenly didn't want to see these people showing off and jumping around in front of her anymore.

An Jinsheng is now in detention and Zhou Xingxue has also been arrested. Now that Chen Jiahe is in front of her, she will not let her off easily.

Want to see her make fun of you?

Just because she doesn't usually argue doesn't mean she won't fight back.

She let these people know today that it was impossible for her, Song Shishi, to be bullied outside, let alone in the compound.

"I've only been gone for more than two months, why do I feel like you all have become much bolder and dare to tease me?"

She pulled her arm free from Chen Jiahe's hand, walked to the table, and glanced at the unopened wine on the table.

She reached out to pick up the wine, opened the lid, and slowly walked to He Weijun.

"Wei Jun, now that we've come to this point, it would be rude if we don't have a drink.

So, let’s drink this white wine today.

I'll have a drink, you have a drink, do you dare?"

He Weijun couldn't drink much and would get drunk easily after just one glass of alcohol. But everyone was watching him and he couldn't bring himself to say no.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiahe was so excited that she almost jumped up on the spot and waved to the people around He Weijun, "Oh, this is not good, right? After all, Weijun is a man, and you are a little girl, how can you drink more than him?"

"Really? How about I drink one glass and you drink two?" Song Shishi still had that faint smile on her face, looking at He Weijun without looking away.

"I've never seen Shishi drink alcohol, so how can we compare? She's the one who's at a disadvantage, right?"

I don't know who said this behind me.

Chen Jiahe took the opportunity to persuade him: "Shishi, you can't drink, why are you competing with him in drinking? If you are late, then so be it. No one will blame you."

On the surface, Chen Jiahe was persuading Song Shishi not to compete with He Weijun in drinking, but what she did was to take the white wine from her hand, then pick up a wine glass on the table and fill it with wine.

Seeing Chen Jiahe like this, He Weijun took the glass of white wine from Chen Jiahe and said, "Since Miss Song has spoken, as a man of our No. 1 Courtyard, I can't just give in."

"I'll drink first as a sign of respect." After saying that, He Weijun raised his head and drank the glass of white wine in one gulp.

After drinking, he turned the glass upside down to show off, "Look, not a drop left."

"Shishi, why don't we just forget it? It's okay for us female comrades to admit defeat and give in." Chen Jiahe continued to persuade.

But listen to this.

Everyone in the compound knows that Song Shishi looks delicate and gentle, but she has a very strong personality.

From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever seen her surrender or bow down to anyone.

So Chen Jiahe said this on purpose, with the purpose of putting Song Shishi in a position where she could neither advance nor retreat.

But all this is based on the premise that Song Shishi doesn’t drink.

But they didn't know that she could drink a lot.

It's just that she hasn't drunk it since her grandfather passed away.

Song Shishi glanced to the side, and someone immediately handed her an empty wine glass.

She reached out to take it and poured herself a glass of white wine.

"I, Song Shishi, keep my word. Since everyone is here to practice with me today, no one can leave unless they get drunk today."

After saying that, she tilted her head back and drank a glass of white wine.

Then he slammed the wine glass heavily onto the table, and the glass made a crisp shattering sound.

At the same time, He Weijun, who had been holding on, fell to the ground, drunk and unconscious.

"Who's next?" Song Shishi didn't even spare He Weijun a glance and turned to look at the other people in front of her.

This show of force shocked everyone.

Chen Jiahe kicked He Weijun in frustration and thought to herself, "Useless thing."

When Chen Jiahe turned her head towards Song Shishi, the expression on her face immediately changed back, and she said in a delicate and artificial voice: "Shishi, we haven't ordered the dishes yet, why don't we order the dishes first, and then we can drink the wine slowly."

"You haven't ordered yet? Then who's paying for today's meal?"

She just asked the question casually, but she didn't expect that the whole room fell silent as soon as she asked the question.

Even Chen Jiahe, who had been talking nonstop, pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Why aren't you talking? Didn't you invite me to dinner? Do you not even know who's treating me?"

Song Shishi sat down on the chair, her eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Chen Jiahe.

Chen Jiahe bit her lip, "Well... we just wanted to get together, but we haven't decided who will pay the bill yet."

Although everyone's family conditions are pretty good, they themselves don't have much money.

They might not even be able to afford the bottle of wine that Song Shishi just held in her hand, let alone a table of food.

Song Shishi seemed not to notice everyone's embarrassment. She smiled and clapped her hands and said, "Since we haven't come to an agreement yet, let's play a game. The loser pays the bill. How about that?"

"Um... Shishi, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with at work. I have to go back and deal with them. I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner here. Next time, when you come back, we can get together again."

A girl sitting near the door, seeing that the situation was not right, hurriedly picked up the backpack on the seat and retreated towards the door while talking.

When she finished speaking, she opened the door and slipped out, not giving anyone else in the room a chance to react.

Song Shishi didn't care. The one who just slipped away was the most courageous one in their Courtyard No. 1.

Normally, she would not attend dinner parties like this, but she came today. She was probably forced to come by Chen Jiahe.

Because Song Shishi vaguely remembered that this girl seemed to be in the art troupe.

Song Shishi looked at Chen Jiahe again, waiting for a reply.
