Perhaps because drinking cup after cup wasn't enough, Xu Zhe waved to the Jiang family's servants and muttered a few words.
A short while later, the servants brought them several bottles of wine.
Wang Jiujiu opened the bottle cap and handed the bottle to Xu Zhe.
After taking the bottle, Xu Zhe looked meaningfully at the man beside him and, amidst the man's fear, poured the entire bottle of wine into his mouth.
Glug glug—
The man couldn't drink anymore, so he shook his head vigorously and finally vomited everything he had drunk, his face turning red from the alcohol.
Upon seeing this, Wang Jiujiu and the others burst into laughter.
When passersby walked by, they glanced at them a few times, but dared not step forward to stop them. They only looked at the bullied man with pity before leaving.
It's better to avoid trouble.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ningyuan's eyes turned as cold as ice.
They acted like seasoned veterans, as if they had done this countless times before.
So……
Did they do something similar to Jiang Yuan before?
Perhaps, it's even worse.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningyuan's expression turned even colder, and his emotions became strange. A bold idea even popped into his mind.
Make them all disappear!
"Jiang Yingdi." Just then, Jiang Yuan's voice rang out, like a calming pill, soothing Jiang Ningyuan's heart.
Jiang Ningyuan turned his head and saw Jiang Yuan looking up at him, while Xiang Xinyang, who had been clinging to her, was nowhere to be seen.
As if sensing Jiang Ningyuan's doubts, Jiang Yuan replied, "Xinyang didn't sleep all night and only dozed off for a short while today. Ji Lü took her back to rest."
Just then, Ji Lü didn't want to be bothered by those people, so when he heard that Xiang Xinyang was about to leave, he volunteered to be her driver.
Xiang Xinyang did not refuse.
It was an honor for her that the boss of Xingying Company was to be her driver; how could she possibly refuse?
The two hit it off immediately and left ahead of time.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't look too good." Jiang Yuan continued before Jiang Ningyuan could speak.
He didn't look well when he arrived, and just now, his complexion was even worse, and his expression changed.
He became sinister and cold, as if he wanted to kill someone.
He seemed unlike himself.
It was previously said that Jiang Ningyuan had no emotions, but now he will inadvertently reveal his emotions.
This was originally a good thing.
But if someone is so sinister as to want to kill, that's not a good thing.
She didn't want Jiang Ningyuan to become a walking 500,000.
That would put her in a difficult position.
On one hand, there are friends; on the other hand, there's 500,000.
She will have a difficult decision.
"Maybe you haven't rested well." Jiang Ningyuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Jiang Yuan noticed his pale complexion, yet also pleasantly surprised that she had noticed.
He really hasn't been getting enough rest lately.
I don't know why, but I always have some bizarre and fantastical dreams.
Sometimes he dreams that he is surrounded by wandering spirits, and then he dreams of other things. Occasionally he can hear someone whispering in his ear.
But when he woke up, he was all alone in the room.
He hasn't been able to sleep through the night for a while.
I often wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Jiang Ningyuan has faint dark circles under his eyes, which are obviously caused by lack of rest.
When she was his assistant, he didn't have dark circles under his eyes yet.
It's clear that he's not sleeping well.
Most cases of poor sleep are caused by nightmares.
Jiang Ningyuan stared at Jiang Yuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He was amazed by Jiang Yuan's intelligence and her keen observation skills.
"Yes." Jiang Ningyuan nodded in response.
“I always dream of bizarre and fantastical things, and occasionally some images that are both strange and somewhat familiar flash through my mind,” Jiang Ningyuan replied.
Liu Yu knew he wasn't in a good state, but she didn't know he had nightmares every night.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Liu Yu, but these dreams were too strange, and he didn't know how to talk about them.
Strangely enough, when speaking to Jiang Yuan, he seemed to be able to describe some of his dreams.
"A scene that's both strange and familiar?" Jiang Yuan tilted her head, looking puzzled.
This statement is somewhat contradictory.
Familiarity is familiarity; why would someone be described as both strange and familiar?
“Yes, even though I don’t have that memory, I always feel like I’ve experienced it.” Jiang Ningyuan nodded earnestly.
Just like the image that flashed through his mind when he first saw Jiang Yuan in her dress.
He always felt that he had seen it with his own eyes, but his clear memory told him that he had not seen it.
It felt both familiar and strange.
Occasionally, a few images would flash by, stirring up waves in his heart.
In his dreams, he experiences emotions; he experiences joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
But most...
It's all sorrow.
Deep down, one might unconsciously resist those dreams.
"Jiang Yingdi, give me your hand."
Jiang Ningyuan paused, then obediently reached out his hand.
Jiang Yuan magically pulled a folded talisman from her bag and placed it in Jiang Ningyuan's hand.
A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Ningyuan's eyes.
"This is a sleep aid talisman. You can place it next to your pillow when you sleep at night. It should help you sleep better," Jiang Yuan said.
She just gave Xiang Xinyang two sets of talismans, one for herself and one for Ji Lü.
They also gave Xie Yunshang a few sets, for her, as well as for Yang Cheng and his family.
She hasn't given Liu Yu that set of advice yet; she's too busy.
She had been pulled away by all sorts of people since the banquet started, and she felt embarrassed to disturb her while she was talking about serious matters.
As for Jiang Ningyuan, she had no intention of giving it to him.
