Seeing her hesitant, Youyou said directly, "Mom, if you don't want to tell me, forget it. I'll find it for you right away."
She thought, it wasn't hers anyway, and since others were unwilling to give it to her, there was no need for her to shamelessly keep it.
As she spoke, she turned around and went to search in the cabinet.
"I'm thinking that you young people have a lot of things to do, and I'm afraid you won't pay attention to this trivial matter, so you should keep it with me! It won't be too late to take it out when it's necessary in the future."
Mother Wang explained guiltily, making up an excuse to conceal her purpose.
Youyou turned a deaf ear to her words. No matter what her purpose was, it probably had nothing to do with her anyway. She didn't have the time to care about these insignificant things.
She quickly found the Qingluan bracelet from the cabinet. Thinking it was a family heirloom, she was afraid it might get bumped or scratched, so she even found a beautiful box to store it in.
She held the box in her hands and handed it to Mother Wang. Mother Wang took the box and quickly opened it to check if it was the "return of the jade intact." After a careful inspection, she confirmed that it was intact. Then she smiled and said, "Well, Youyou, you rest. I'll leave now and won't disturb your sleep."
Youyou didn't say anything, just nodded in response and watched Mother Wang leave.
Mother Wang held the box and returned to the house with satisfaction, locking her treasure in the cabinet.
"I say, you are really something. You have already given it away, why do you have the audacity to ask for it back? It's just a broken bracelet, but you insist on saying it's a family heirloom." When Wang's father saw that she actually asked for the bracelet back, he said a few words of disapproval.
"What do you know? This isn't a question of value. It's a different matter. Since Zhengsheng already has an heir, we should give him his own flesh and blood."
"You, you're not really planning to give it to that child, are you?"
Mother Wang asked confidently, "Isn't it possible?"
"Haha! This isn't even a matter of the past, so I advise you not to make any decisions on your own, lest you end up putting your best foot forward and end up making a fool of yourself."
"A joke? Don't we have enough jokes in our family? He unilaterally broke off the engagement and married someone else. And what happened? He married a chicken that doesn't lay eggs. You didn't hear how others stabbed us in the back, saying that we were conscienceless and that God would punish us and make our Wang family extinct. Not only that, but we also offended the Shang family. I...I was bewildered in the first place, which is why I agreed to your father and son's unreliable decision and married this unlucky person."
Mother Wang became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice became louder and louder.
Father Wang was worried that Youyou might overhear her words, so he quickly interrupted her, "Okay, okay, just keep your voice down, just in case others can't hear. I won't say anything, okay? You can do whatever you want, and I won't say no again, is that okay?"
Seeing that his attitude was quite good, Mother Wang no longer felt so uncomfortable. She said no more, rolled her eyes at Father Wang, and walked downstairs.
Zhengsheng came to a bar and walked straight to the bar.
"Handsome guy, what would you like to drink?" the bartender at the bar asked politely.
Zhengsheng quickly glanced at the handsome bartender and cast his gaze towards the wine rack behind him. "Give me a glass of the strongest drink you have here."
"Okay, wait a minute!"
The bartender waved the cocktail glass in his hand and tossed it in the air skillfully.
Zheng Sheng looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes somewhat dull.
The lights in the bar were dim, the air was filled with the smell of alcohol and sweat, deafening music, and the laughter of men and women having fun.
Zhengsheng seemed to care nothing about himself. Like an eggplant hit by frost, he lay listlessly on the bar.
After a while, the bartender handed Zhengsheng a glass of brown wine. "Handsome boy, your drink is ready. It's our signature drink - Ice and Fire. I guarantee you'll be unable to stop and get a unique experience."
Zheng Sheng didn't say much, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing him like this, the bartender worriedly tried to stop him, "Boss, it's easy to get drunk if you drink like this. Don't drink so quickly. The stronger the liquor, the more slowly you have to savor it, right?"
"Five more!"
Zheng Sheng slammed the empty glass in his hand onto the bar counter and spoke harshly to the bartender.
The wine was indeed strong. It felt refreshing at first, and then it felt like a surging sea in his mouth. This feeling actually made him feel less uncomfortable.
Who says drinking to drown your sorrows only makes you more sorrowful? He saw it that way. At least whenever he was unhappy, alcohol was the only thing that could save him. After getting drunk, he would wake up the next day and feel that yesterday's troubles were nothing.
It was always like this before, but I don’t know if this time I can still solve all my troubles by getting drunk like before.
"Five?"
The bartender looked at Zhengsheng with wide eyes and repeated his words in a surprised tone.
"Yes, five cups. What? Are you afraid I won't pay?"
After this drink, Zhengsheng was clearly already reacting. He pulled out his wallet, took out a wad of cash, and slapped it in front of the bartender.
"Five cups, quick!"
No liquor seller is afraid of customers spending money. Since Zheng Sheng is willing, why not do it?
The bartender collected the money for five drinks and pushed the extra money next to Zheng Sheng's hand.
"Boss, this is extra money. Please keep it. I will prepare the wine for you soon."
They were in the service industry and had encountered many difficult customers. People like Zhengsheng were considered to be good-tempered. They were used to it, so he could still talk to Zhengsheng with a smile.
"Take it back, it's your tip."
