Of course he knew that every property on this street belonged to Feng Heng.
But he didn’t know that Feng Heng would use Qingqing’s name so publicly. How disgusting!
Mu Jinghang saw the look on Jun Yexuan’s face and was worried that he would smash the hotel sign.
Mu Jinghang grabbed onto Jun Yexuan’s elbow, “Third bro, third bro, we need to focus. Don’t you remember what we are here for?”
Jun Yexuan hissed, “He can plaster Qingqing’s name all over his businesses but Qingqing will remain independent from him!”
Mu Jinghang, “…”
How come everytime Qiao Qing was concerned, his third brother turned childish?
By 9 pm, everyone that ate inside the private room of the hotel was tipsy.
Hou Zibin, Luo Chen, and a few others were unconscious from drinking. Only Qiao Qing was incredibly clear-headed.
She was playing on her phone when someone handed her a glass of wine, “Cousin, let’s have a drink. I want to congratulate you on getting into UCC.”
Qiao Qing lowered her gaze and eyed the liquid inside the glass. With a fake smile, she asked, “Are we that close?”
Qiao Nian reacted as if hurt, “You are the one who never liked speaking to me. I have always wanted to get to know you better. We will soon be going separate ways since we are going to different universities. So we don’t have much time left together. You are not even willing to have a drink with me?”
Qiao Qing remained silent for a bit before taking over the glass. She stared at Qiao Nian in the eyes, “Why would I not be willing?”
Qiao Nian was ecstatic that Qiao Qing took the bait. Unguarded, she met her gaze.
The moment their eyes met, Qiao Nian shuddered. She felt like Qiao Qing’s eyes were like whirlpools that sucked her in.
Can’t you at least drink with me?”
At once, Qiao Nian lost the ability to think for herself.
Qiao Qing swayed the glass around and watched as Qiao Nian lost her consciousness little by little. Soundlessly, she switched the glass in her hand with Qiao Nian’s.
Then, she snapped her fingers and caught Qiao Nian’s leaning body, “What is it? Did you drink too much?”
Qiao Nian shook her head, finding it weird that she lost composure.
Staring at the glass in Qiao Qing’s hand, she hurriedly said, “Cheers!”
Qiao Qing clicked her glass against Qiao Nian’s and drank the wine.
Seeing how Qiao Qing drank everything, Qiao Nian excitedly drank the alcohol in her glass as well.
Inside a different private room, Mu Jinghang watched it all go down in the surveillance video. Bewildered, he widened his eyes, “Sister-in-law knows… hypnosis?”
Jun Yexuan fell silent with pursed lips.
Mu Jinghang then said to himself, “Looks like she doesn’t even need our help. She can take care of herself.”
On the other side, Qiao Qing placed down her glass and felt a grasp at her waist.
Luo Chen hugged onto her waist and like a giant dog, rubbed his head against her belly. He was so drunk that he was using his baby voice when he spoke.
“Qingqing, you have your favorites! I asked to drink with you just then, and you ignored me!”
Qiao Qing’s face dropped and pushed away his furry head.
On the other side, Jun Yexuan’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pan.
Mu Jinghang silently cursed and grabbed onto the rampaging Jun Yexuan.
“Calm down! Third bro, calm down! That little boy is drunk! Can’t you see that Qingqing pushed him away? She is very self-regulating and knows to keep her distance with other men!”
Jun Yexuan gave him a look, “Really?”
Mu Jinghang, “…”
[How come when I speak the truth, you don’t believe me. But when I lie to you, you believe me?]
After Qiao Qing pushed Luo Chen away, she leaned back into her chair and closed her eyes.
Qiao Nian took that as a sign that the drugs had taken effect. Her eyes shone.
Just as she was about to pull Qiao Qing away, she felt a wave of dizziness.
