The person speaking lowered their head to look at the nu, their mind racing with plans.
Since soone else was treating, it was foolish not to take advantage, especially since on the way here Shelley had promised to handle any issues.
They ordered a ton of dishes in one go, even two bottles of decades-old aged wine, each costing over a thousand.
After ordering, as they waited for the food, no one spoke.
No one expected Shelley to make such a bold move.
"Zhenxin, eat." Li Yanan's mood was unaffected from start to finish, placing several dishes in front of her. Under the table, his hand clenched and unclenched. He knew she was unhappy, and since she was unhappy, he naturally wouldn't let these people be happy either.
Behind the thick glasses, his eyes flashed with a dark gleam that quickly vanished again.
"I'm not good with words, I'll drink first as a sign of respect, everyone feel free."
Li Yanan stood and downed the white liquor in front of him in one go, easing so of the awkward atmosphere.
"Zhenxin, you and Mr. Li, could it be that after the banquet that night, you two..."
Shelley took a sip of wine, her cheeks flushed like rouge, eyes seductive, making the n feel tickled inside.
But there was clearly another layer of aning in the words, making the listeners uncomfortable.
"That day at the banquet, it was who asked her to go. At first, I deceived her into marrying without revealing my true identity."
Upon hearing this, everyone's chopsticks paused, and they looked at him in astonishnt.
Lin Zhenxin didn't expect Li Yanan to say that, but before she could speak, his hand under the table held hers tightly.
"Since everyone sitting here is Zhenxin's friend, there's no need for to say much about what kind of person she is. You should all understand."
In just a few words, he easily dissolved the ambiguity in Shelley's words!
The atmosphere beca lively again.
Of course, this made so people unhappy.
Shelley gave a look, and imdiately a friend stood up to persuade Li Yanan to drink.
Initially, it was cup by cup, eventually escalating to using a soup bowl.
Li Yanan did not refuse, accepting every challenge, downing both the initial cups and the later bowls in one gulp!
By the end, Lin Zhenxin couldn't stand it anymore, feeling heartache and regretting not stopping Shelley from coming at the start.
If she had known it would be like this, she'd rather have offended her cleanly from the beginning than let Li Yanan suffer now!
With a loud bang, Lin Zhenxin slamd her chopsticks onto the bowl!
"Stop drinking." Her voice was icy cold, those familiar with her knew it was a sign of anger.
Lin Zhenxin locked eyes with Shelley, and Sister Wang wanted to diate, but things had already escalated beyond her control.
Everyone else tried their best to reduce their presence as if dead.
This was simply... impossible to diate!
"What's the point of just drinking? Let's play a drinking ga, and whoever loses, drinks!"
Lin Zhenxin said this to Shelley while pouring white liquor into the soup bowl in front of her until it was full.
"Zhenxin!" Everyone could clearly see that the man, usually as calm as still water, had finally changed his expression upon hearing this.
Strangely enough, despite the disheveled appearance, in the eyes of others, her image grew clearer.
Shelley laughed, a drinking ga? She was a veteran at banquets, her best skill was drinking gas, and Lin Zhenxin wanted to compete with her on this?
"You said it! Don't regret it later!" Shelley promptly filled her cup too and extended her hand to Lin Zhenxin.
"Lin Zhenxin!" Li Yanan spoke again, this ti using her full na, yet when Lin Zhenxin looked at him, she silently mouthed two words.
Trust .
Li Yanan released the hand that was pressing her down. She wanted him to believe, so he believed. After all, it was just a few bowls of liquor, what was there to fear?
Initially, Shelley thought she could gain the upper hand!
In fact, everyone thought so!
But as Shelley drank bowl after bowl, face pale as a sheet, everyone was stunned to realize that Lin Zhenxin was incredibly formidable!
"You lost, drink!" Once again, Lin Zhenxin won.
Shelley's face was flushed, only thinking of throwing up!
Lin Zhenxin didn't actually want to embarrass Shelley this way, but who asked her to harbor ill intentions from the start!
Not to ntion targeting Li Yanan repeatedly!
Trying to get him drunk, dream on!
"Again!" Shelley had never suffered such a setback at a drinking table, and the friends she brought also ended up drinking a few bowls.
They're not drunk, just unsightly!
"You're drunk." Lin Zhenxin cut off, pretending not to see her colleagues' shocked expressions.
"I... no... I'm not drunk..." Shelley dropped those words, instantly covering her mouth and rushing out, heading for the bathroom.
However, as she passed by Li Yanan, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she bumped into him.
"I'm going to the restroom, everyone, please continue eating."
Li Yanan suddenly stood up, speaking without a trace of alcohol in his voice, yet when no one saw, a shadow gradually gathered in his eyes...
