"Am I afraid of him? I'll drink then."
Meng Sangsang picked up her wine glass and gulped it down.
Qin Xuan raised his hand to block it, pulling the wine glass aside. "Alright, alright, it was just a joke, why are you taking it so seriously? Even we grown men can't handle this wine, let alone a young lady like you. Just take a sip."
"Who do you think you are? I can drink."
Meng Sangsang wanted to take the wine back, but Qin Xuan refused.
Ye Shi poured Meng Sangsang a drink, "Have something else to drink, don't drink alcohol."
"Don't you think that Song Qinze has a big problem?" Fu Zelian, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
Everyone quieted down.
Qin Xuan nodded with a serious expression, "Now that you mention it, I do think he's acting quite strangely. I heard he was there when Su Li was at the border."
Meng Sangsang: "Could Song Qinze be in cahoots with his sister? I always said the Song family is no good. Before his mother got married, she even seduced my dad. It's disgusting."
"You seduced your father?" Ye Shi asked in surprise.
"Yes, I heard it from my mom when I was home recently. So, like mother, like children. Song Wan looks glamorous on the surface, but she is extremely vicious inside. I think she is not even as good as a single hair of our Ah Li. She is extremely hypocritical."
Fu Zelian thought for a moment and said, "Song Qinze and Song Wan should not be the same kind of people."
Qin Xuan didn't say anything, but his face clearly showed that he had a story to tell.
Meng Sangsang nudged his arm and asked, "Do you know something?"
"As I told you before, Song Qinze used to be good friends with me and Aye, but we broke up later due to business interests and conflicts."
Fu Zelian: "Isn't it just about commercial interests?"
Qin Xuan shook his head. "I'm not very clear about it. That year, the Quan family was in turmoil. Everyone wanted to drive A-Ye out of the Quan family so they could take over all of Quan's assets. At that time, the three of us agreed to go to another place to avoid the storm. Coincidentally, it was also that year that A-Ye was kidnapped. After A-Ye came back, the two of us gradually drifted apart. Actually, I didn't expect that these things would be related to Song Qinze, but now that I think about it, he is a bit suspicious."
"But we have no evidence, so it's hard to say."
Fu Zelian nodded, "Quan Ye's identity concerns the entire Haicheng business circle, and he must have many rivals behind the scenes. It's not easy to tell whether Song Qinze is a friend or foe, especially since the Quan family and the Song family are currently cooperating."
Meng Sangsang sighed softly, "You've said so much, but you haven't come to any conclusions."
Qin Xuan: "We'll take it one step at a time. As time goes by, his territory will gradually emerge."
"Madam, the young master has woken up and keeps asking for you." It was the maid calling.
Ye Shi quickly replied, "I understand, I'll go back right away."
Upon hearing this, Fu Zelian also stood up and said, "That's all for tonight, I'm leaving."
Let's get together again next time.
After seeing them out, only Meng Sangsang and Qin Xuan remained in the private room, staring at each other blankly.
Qin Xuan tossed over a set of dice, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Want to play?"
Meng Sangsang recently had a falling out with her family and didn't want to go home. Anyway, she was just going back to the hotel, which was pretty boring.
She rolled up her sleeves. "Sure, what game?"
The loser has to tell an embarrassing story from their childhood.
"Hmph, who's afraid of who?"
It was a bit chilly outside when we left the bar.
Ye Shi couldn't help but rub her exposed arms. After a while, a coat was gently draped over her shoulders, driving away the chill.
She turned her head and saw Fu Zelian get into the car first with a blank expression.
It was as if the act of taking off the coat and draping it over her had never happened.
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car."
"oh."
Ye Shi pulled her coat tighter and leaned down to sit beside him.
