Part Two: The Big Sugar of the East, Chapter 84: Drinking

。"Good"The older woman next to me, probably because she had spoken incorrectly, seemed a bit self-reproachful. She went downstairs to the water dispenser and poured herself a glass of warm water. The...Lu Yao yao was silent.

Given his past behavior of not associating with people he hasn't fully dealt with, think about how much courage it took for him to appear at the Lu family's doorstep and stand before you.

"Mom, why do I feel like you're favoring him now, loving him more than me"

Mom smiled: "Because Mom never worries about you. Actually, Gu Ruandong called me before, when you weren't answering his calls, he was very worried about your mental state and asked me to help talk to you. Mom can feel his love and care for you."

"Did he call you for help"

Lu YaoYao was somewhat shocked, because the Gu Ruandong she knew had always been an invincible figure. He seemed like even if the sky fell, he could smile and say it was fine, that he could solve it.

“Well, Mom could tell from his voice that he'd been down and even a bit self-deprecating for a while. He was working hard, trying to save the Lu family. After something like this happened, he needed time to come to terms with himself. Now it seems like he’s gotten back on track.”

"Hmm." Lu Yaoyao had a bit of a nasal tone. During the days they hadn't seen each other, they both spent their energy trying to make peace with themselves.

"Shall we head back now Mom can stay in the hotel by herself, you don't have to keep her company."

Lu Yaoyao shook her head, not eager for immediate results. She was calm now and no longer the lovestruck girl she used to be.

For two consecutive days, she stayed at the hotel with her mother. Gu Ruan came to the hotel several times to see them and, seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he went along with it. Until New Year's Eve, he went home to accompany his grandfather for the reunion dinner and then rushed back to the hotel to celebrate the new year with his mother.

Gu Ruandong's gift, she arrived at the hotel doorstep, he locked the car door and wouldn't let her get out. He held the steering wheel and turned to look at her: "How do I feel like you're avoiding me"

Lu YaoYao hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no! Why would I hide from you Mom doesn't come back often, so I want to spend more time with her."

Acting like a guilty party, or trying to hide something.

Gu Ruandong: "Come on, tell me why"

He wondered if she was worried about him hurting himself Had his joke that morning been a little too much

Lu Yaoyao didn't dodge him. She had listened to her mother's words and felt a little heartache and guilt.

Gu Ruandong: "Yao Yao, I would never touch you without your consent."

Lu Yaoyao: "I'm sorry."

Both spoke at once.

Gu Ruandong unlocked the car and gestured for her to get out.

After Lu Yaoyao got out of the car, she finally figured out what he meant by his words just now. She hurriedly turned around to look at him, but his car window was already closed, and the car slowly drove away.

Lu YaoYao pursed her lips and smiled, not intending to explain.

Realizing she was being a little "bad" now, she was willing to let him misunderstand. After all, he had made the mistake in the first place, and she wanted to see just how long he could take it.

She guessed it wouldn't be more than a week.

Mother stayed in China for a few days. After making sure she was really okay, she left.

After sending Mom to the airport, I returned to the Lu family home. It was quiet, with only Ruan Ruan reading in the living room.

"Where are my brothers"

Just left, Song Jingye came back and made a drinking appointment.

"Oh."

She sat down, leaned against Ruan Ruan's side, touched her belly, and said it was amazing.

"He is moving."

It's a wonderful feeling, hard to believe that there's actually a baby growing inside.

Ruan Ruan also laughed and touched her belly. She made a shape, immediately puffing up a bulge, which left Lu Yaoyao dumbfounded.

"Will it hurt"

"No, would you like to touch it again Sometimes it likes to play with you." Ruan Ruan said with a gentle face.

Lu Yaoyao gently touched him again and said: "Baby, you have to be good. In the future, if you behave like your mother when you go out, your aunt will reward you. If you're as naughty as your father, your aunt will spank your bottom."

Uh... I'd rather not let her touch me.

Ruann continued reading, she was browsing her phone beside her, absentmindedly.

I couldn't help but ask Gu Ruandong: Where are you guys drinking

Gu Ruandong: Are you coming I asked the driver to pick you up.

"No."

Gu Ruandong took a picture of her. On his opposite side sat Song Jingye and Zhuo YUAN, and next to him was Lu Kuo.

Four people were drinking at a club in his capital city. It was his treat.

It was said they were drinking, but only half a bottle of red wine was consumed by four people.

Zhuo Yu'an was the first to decline: "I have to go home and spend time with the kids later, so I won't drink."

Lu Kuai followed closely behind: "There's a pregnant woman at home, so I won't drink anymore either."

Gu Ruan Dong smiled without speaking, pouring half a cup of wine each for Song Jing Ye and himself. Although he didn't say a word, his attitude was very good, handing the cup to Song Jing Ye.

Both drained their cups in one gulp, everything unspoken.

After you finish this cup, the past is over.

Gu Ruandong will no longer stand in the way of his future, and Song Jingye should stop thinking about other people's wives.

Lu Kuo had originally intended to not drink at all, but seeing the two of them drinking made his heart warm. He picked up the bottle and poured himself a glass.

Then, he poured drinks for the other three: "Zuo Yuyan, you should have some too. If Tinglan isn't happy, I'll explain to her later."

"Come, let's have a toast to the Four Young Masters of our Capital City."

The other three froze, seeing the infamous Beijing's Four Young Masters!!!

"I was wrong, so for friendship, for family, for love, I'll drink to this."

On the table, the four people's drinking capacity was unfathomable.

Lu Kuo doesn't need to be mentioned, he has been mixing with all sorts of social gatherings for years and it has paid off.

Zuo Yu'an, he's been keeping a low profile. Even Lu Kuai doesn't know where his bottom line is. Anyway, I don't think I've ever seen him drunk

Gu Ruandong needn't be mentioned, he spends his days in places of vice and entertainment, drinking is a daily routine.

As for Song Jingye, they've never actually had a drink with him. But considering he was in the army and spent time surrounded by men, his alcohol tolerance should be pretty good, right

This game inexplicably ignited Lu Kuo's competitive spirit. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the waiter to bring out wine, specifically Gu Ruandong's prized collection.

Gu Ruandong didn't speak either, leaning back in his chair and absently replying to Lu Yaoyao's messages.

But whether it was the wine Lu Kuo passed him or the wine Song Jingye passed him, he drank it all down without resistance.

Zhuo Yu'an didn't run away either. After having a few drinks, he happened to receive videos from two kids, so he went outside the private room to answer them.

After he had put the children to sleep and ended the video call, when he returned to his room, only Gu Ruandong was still awake and normal.

Song Jingye had already lowered himself to the ground, Lu Kuo was still rambling on, shaking his hand as he wanted to continue toasting Gu Ruandong.

"Gu Ruandong, my brother-in-law, no need to say anything, just one word, good."

"I raise a glass to you, my apologies for what happened last time. I hit you, so why don't you punch me back"

Gu Ruandong was disgusted, but Lu Kuòfei leaned towards him.

He told Zhuo Yu'an: "Mr. Zhuo, help me record a video. It was him who forced me to fight him, so he won't deny it tomorrow."
