Chapter 418: One Drunk, One Down

Realizing that she wasn’t very welcomed here, Li Beinian removed her sunglasses and mask and spoke honestly, “Jiang Yeqing invited me here today.”
All eyes were instantly directed towards Jiang Yeqing.
Jiang Yeqing lowered his cigarette without a hint of guilt and replied with a smile, “You guys were all drinking, so I had no choice but to call an old friend over to accompany me, or I would have been so bored.”
He waved to her. “Come and sit with me over here. I’ll treat you to some fruit juice.”
Li Beinian was speechless.
Just as she was about to walk over, she suddenly felt another pair of eyes staring at her.
Lin Ya looked at her with a smile on his face. “We meet again.”
Li Beinian returned a smile. “We must be really fated, Mayor Lin. I’ll go over first. If you would excuse me.”
“Sure,” Lin Ya said with a seemingly unchanging smile on his face. “But, I’m curious. Did you come here today because of your ex-fiancé or because of your lifesaver?”
His words were laced with a hint of mockery. Li Beinian immediately knew that he was up to no good.
As if on cue, Mu Donglin and Mu Xichen looked over at the same time.
They were both obviously waiting for her answer.
Feeling their hot stares burning into her back, Li Beinian looked directly at Lin Ya’s questioning yet not interrogative stare. She smiled. “Brother Jiang just called me to come over today. I didn’t know or expect to see so many familiar faces here.”
“Brother Jiang?” Mu Donglin repeated with disbelief.
On the other hand, Mu Xichen immediately shot Jiang Yeqing a look.
Feeling their unfriendly stares, Jiang Yeqing’s hand shook slightly while still holding onto his cigarette. He said with a slight cough of surprise, “We’re just friends. Don’t misunderstand, guys.”
Deciding to ignore any further questioning from Li, Ya, Li Beinian walked directly towards Jiang Yeqing.
Gu Mingye smiled cheekily and patted Jiang Yeqing on the shoulder. “You’re so done.”
Jiang Yeqing’s face blackened, and he slapped his hand away. “You talk too much!”
He tossed the drinks menu over to Li Beinian as she approached the table. “Seriously, are you trying to get me killed?”
Li Beinian looked over at him with a half-hearted smile. “Well, it’s true that you were the one who asked me to come over today.”
Jiang Yeqing lifted his hand and pointed over to the other table, the glow of his cigarette lighting up the table. “You see over there? Mu Xichen drank seven or eight glasses, and Mu Donglin is already on his tenth glass. The alcohol probably hasn’t kicked in for now, but wait till they get drunk—things are going to get interesting.”
Watching the two of them pitch their guts out, Gu Mingye felt his heart clench. “Ms. Li, do you want to try stopping them? Leader Mu can’t really hold his liquor. What if they get too drunk…”
“One glass of honey water, please.” Li Beinian returned the drinks menu as she cut Gu Mingye off. Her eyes landed on the two men standing around the table. “I came to watch a show. Whoever’s drunk loses.”
“So heartless?” Jiang Yeqing sneered. “Then what did you order the honey water for?”
Honey water was always the best cure for hangovers.
“I just ordered it because I felt like drinking it.”
Jiang Yeqing slightly shook his head as his smile left his face. He put out his cigarette and stood up. “Let’s get closer to watch the show. We’ll see who dies first.”
He sauntered over as he finished speaking.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Alcohol glasses slammed the table one by one, and new glasses got picked up one by one almost immediately; there wasn’t a moment of pausing for these drinking men.
With over ten glasses of alcohol downed, Mu Xichen’s face was flushed red, and his breath became increasingly unstable.
Swaying slightly as he struggled to stand properly while supporting himself by holding onto the edge of the table, his vision started to blur.
Mu Donglin’s situation was no better, with his body also swaying from side to side even as he stood still. His face was slightly red, seemingly in a better condition as compared to Mu Xichen.
