The banquet was still going on, and people kept appearing in front of Li Jia. As if they had planned it, every few minutes someone would appear and say, "Li Jia, congratulations! Your sister is getting married. Shouldn't you hurry up and get things done too?"
An Ran, her slightly protruding belly prominent, stood in front of Li Jia with a half-empty glass of champagne, smiling broadly. "Congratulations to you too! Looks like I'm going to be a godfather soon!" Li Jia, seeing An Ran's confusion, pointed to her belly and replied with a smile, "Yes, the little one is already six months along, a boy, very mischievous." An Ran's face lit up with happiness as she spoke of her child. After finishing with Li Jia, she gently stroked her belly. "Alright, you go ahead with your work, I'm going back now. My husband's waiting downstairs."
Li Jia nodded, not trying to stop her. After watching An Ran leave, Li Jia suddenly realized something terrifying: Hai Mingyue, Jiang Ling, LIANNA, Wang Yuying, Lina Chris, and even Meng Yao, who hadn't appeared yet, were all watching her, holding wine glasses and subtly moving closer to her!
"Xiao Jia! Come here, have a drink with me!" Just as beads of sweat were rolling down Li Jia's forehead, Ouyang Baishi's loud voice rang out. Li Jia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked up to Ouyang Baishi. "Godfather, come on, cheers!"
"Okay! Cheers!" There was no reason, just drinking. "Godmother, you have to drink this glass no matter what..." On the side, Li Xiaoqing was holding a small glass of white wine, while Madam Ouyang was receiving a toast from the newlyweds. Madam Ouyang, who usually doesn't drink, had a happy smile on her face, nodding from time to time, and took the glass from Li Xiaoqing's hand.
"Son, I never expected this! I took you as my godson, and now I have such a large family of children! Today is also a big day for my goddaughter, so I have to have a few more drinks!" Ouyang Baishi's status here naturally made him someone most people wanted to get to know, so he was sure to drink a lot. Li Jia knew from his words that the old man was in high spirits, so he agreed.
As time passed, the wedding guests gradually began to leave. Those who remained at the banquet, including Ouyang Baishi, were already seven-tenths drunk. Fortunately, the Green Robe Hotel had enough rooms. Those who were drunk were put in rooms to rest, while those who weren't drunk continued to strive towards their goal of getting drunk!
Li Jia, Ouyang Baishi, Lao Bolun, Hong Guang, Canglang, and Hu Xiaojun's father were drinking happily. At the table, Canglang finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish and became Li Jia's last disciple. Of course, the influence of alcohol cannot be ruled out.
Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, an unexpected guest suddenly appeared in the banquet hall: "Li Jia, it's been a long time!"
The voice was crisp and clear, but when Li Jia turned around, she saw the smiling young man standing at the door. This man was actually the one who seemed to be a drug dealer. More importantly, behind Xiao Yue stood an old man with a frail face but a straight back.
"Jia..." Hai Mingyue slowly walked to Li Jia's side and whispered a single word. Li Jia gently put her arm around Hai Mingyue and then lingered on the old man's face for a full five minutes. During those five minutes, the banquet hall was almost completely silent, and everyone's attention was focused on the old man.
Li Jia, unaware of what was happening, found her hand trembling slightly as she embraced Hai Mingyue. Tears welled uncontrollably in her eyes and trickled down to her lips, the salty taste slowly pulling her from her reverie…
"Now that you're back... let's have a drink together..."
