Chapter 20
Gugu, you look so nice. Come and be sticky with Guo-er!
An eerie and silent atmosphere permeated the private room.
Everyone exchanged a look with each other in confusion. This was all very unexpected that they didn’t know what to say.
During a critical moment, it was still the fool, who couldn’t read the room, stood up and broke the ice.
Ding Shi frowned and asked, “Why did you guys suddenly go silent?”
“...” EdsoIj
Without saying any words, Ren Xingliu gave him a side glare, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
The air was circulating once more, and everyone finally came to their senses, but there was still a trace of dismay in their eyes.
Hu Yuji had just woken up from a dream, with a drum in his heart and a dry smile on his face, pretending to be relaxed: “We haven’t seen you for a while, Master Ren is getting better and better at joking...”
As if awakening from a dream, Hu Yuji’s heart was beating like drum, but he pulled a relaxed smile on his face, even chuckled a hollow laugh, “Young Master Ren has really gotten better at cracking jokes after not seeing each other for a while...”
“No way.” Ren Xingliu sneered, “You’re the one who is better at cracking jokes...”
He paused for a moment before slowly continuing, “I almost thought you invited me to come just to have me foot the bill.”
“...!” Hu Yuji’s smile finally froze on his face.
Trash words! Of course, the whole purpose of inviting Ren Xingliu was to get him to spend money, otherwise, why would they spend so much energy pleasing him. fcv9mB
Moreover, this young master was usually very generous. No matter who he was supporting, he would always throw money at people without a second word. Where did this prank come from?
Hu Yuji couldn’t figure it out for a moment, feeling anxiety in his heart, to the point where he couldn’t use his silver tongue. He shattered, “Th-this...”
Fortunately, there were others who got his back.
When the boy who took the lead in teasing him saw this, he quickly helped smooth things over with a smile on his face: “Yu Ji really wants to do something, isn’t it Mr. Ren who is here too? With you here, who would dare to get in front of you? go?”
The guy, who took the lead in persuading, quickly helped in smoothing the situation. With a pleasing smile on his face, he said, “Originally, Yuji really wanted to act as host, but with Young Master Ren here, who dares to cross the line in front of you?”
He was quite good with words. He cleared Hu Yuji’s suspicion in eating large household, all the while speaking highly of Ren Xingliu once again.
Everyone else quickly echoed.
“That’s right, Yuji is also afraid that you won’t be happy.”
“Never mind Yuji, I also wanted to play the host, but isn’t that disrespectful to you?”
“Besides, just who can compete with you in terms of financial strength?”
Everyone was taking turns with words, showing great double punches.
Ren Xingliu’s expression looked much better as he suddenly said, “Oh, so that’s how it is. Everyone has a heart.”
Seeing Young Master Ren was coaxed, everyone’s face softened slightly, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief.
“Then now you don’t have to worry about me anymore.” Ren Xingliu suddenly clapped his hands and then sighed, “You must have heard that I have been in some trouble recently. To be honest, my family has suspended all my accounts. Now I am penniless...”
“Then you guys don’t have to worry about that anymore.” Ren Xingliu suddenly clapped and sighed, “Everyone must have heard the trouble that I had caused not too long ago. To be honest, my family has frozen my account. Now I’m without a single cent on me.”
He turned his gaze back to the few that had spoken out and urged with a sincere expression, “Don’t you guys want to act as host? Well, now is your chance!”
Those people: “!!!”
No way, absolutely not, they were just blowing a cow!
They had anticipated Ren Xingliu’s flamboyant nature, and thought that with persuasion, he wouldn’t have the heart to refuse.
Of course they had heard a little bit about Ren Xingliu being sanctioned by his family, but they didn’t take it to heart at all. According to experience, the young master could at most ask someone else to sign the bill for him first.
They have of course heard a little bit about Ren Xingliu being punished by his family, but they didn’t take it to heart at all. Based on experience, Young Master Ren would at most ask someone else to sign the check on his behalf.
In any case, given his status, whoever he sought assistance from would be way wealthier than they were.
Who would have thought that the ever-so-dignified Young Master Ren would be so frank as to say that he had no money?!
And also smacked them with a boomerang without hesitation!
These people’s faces were stifled to green, and thankfully, the lighting in the private room wasn’t that bright for them to be noticed.
They actually wanted to go back on their words, but during the heat of the moment, they talked big and very straightforwardly. Now, they couldn’t find a way to mend their words no matter the angle, because it would sound too fake.
“This actually happened? We had no idea, really.” Hu Yuji laughed awkwardly.
He could finally see that Ren Xingliu had made up his mind and wouldn’t accept this plate. Any further arguments with Young Master Ren would only make the scene even worse.
Fortunately, there was more than one big head today.
Hu Yuji regained his composure and turned to Ding Shi. “Young Master Ding, why didn’t you give us a heads up? Making it weirdly awkward for everyone.”
At first, he didn’t take it seriously, thinking that Ren Xingliu was just joking. He was actually in the mood to watch the fun.
But the situation didn’t proceed on the path he had thought... Didn’t these people have too much of a small family air?
It really killed Ding Shi’s mood, but he was rich enough, and he didn’t want to affect the atmosphere tonight, so he didn’t bother arguing anymore.
Since Hu Yuji asked, Ding Shi also replied how he usually would, “Isn’t this just the matter of footing a bill? Does it need to be...”
Before he could finish, someone suddenly jabbed him in the back of his neck. For some reason, his upper body suddenly went numb, and he also lost the ability to speak.
Startled, he instinctively looked to his side to see Ren Xingliu unhurriedly retracted his hand.
Ding Shi: “!!”
Where did Ren Xingliu learn this terrifying technique from? This was very scary!
He almost thought someone was trying to assassinate him!
Getting back at unspoken criticism with more unspoken criticism. They should have the basic understanding at least as childhood friends, right?
With Ren Xingliu jabbing him so hard, how could things not go over his head? So, he obediently shut his mouth.
He didn’t mind the long wait.
With that in mind, as he was about to put down his phone, his phone suddenly vibrated, a request for a video call popped up.
[Ren Xingliu
invites you to video call]
Bai Juanqiu: “...?”
He thought that when it came to Young Master Ren, bringing up food would be the most effective, but was it really that effective?
Was the youth in that much of a hurry for food?
Although he was a little speechless, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he immediately clicked the call without any hesitation.
Although he was somewhat speechless, the corner of his lips unknowingly curled up. Without a bit of hesitation, he instantly accepted the request.
...
Ren Xingliu was at a loss for words. He found he had misjudged one thing.
It’s like this. In the last few years of Dasheng, as a powerful official, he participated in some social events, changing glasses and changing glasses, and developed a fairly good drinking capacity.
So it was like this. In the last few years in the Sheng Dynasty, as a powerful minister, he participated in some social gatherings, between pushing cups and exchanging saucers, he developed a decent tolerance for alcohol.
Just moments ago, Ding Shi had wrapped him into drinking. Without a second thought, he drank a few glasses with confidence.
But the problem was, he had transmigrated back.
Now, he is still in his early twenties, young and young. In the eyes of outsiders, he lives and drinks every day. In fact, he is just bragging to save face and doesn’t know how to drink at all.
His current self was only in his early twenties, still young in body. In the eyes of outsiders, he scattered petals in the air and spilled alcohol on the ground every day, but in reality, he was just boasting because of his love for face, not knowing how to take any amount of alcohol at all.
So, his current alcohol tolerance could be described a brief exchange
Brain: I got this.
Body: No, you ain’t got shit.
By the time he came to his senses, his head was already foggy.
Ren Xingliu: “...”
This was nothing serious. Don’t panic.
It was just that as time went on, the air in the private room became still, making his fuzzy mind even worse.
He stood up and announced, “I’m going to get some fresh air.”
Ding Shi’s alcohol tolerance was much better than Ren Xingliu. Why would he ask after his friends when things were about to get good. Upon hearing that, he waved his hand and said, “Go on, you don’t have to worry about me.”
“...”
There was one benefit for being a fool. The troubled thought wouldn’t last too long.
Ren Xingliu shook his head, pushed open the door, walked through the hallway and came out from the back door.
The back door led into a small alley, with few people passing.
It was late at night, and the evening breeze was chilling. Ren Xingliu took a deep breath, feeling his brain had calmed down slightly.
He smiled, suddenly feeling bored.
If it wasn’t for his fear of Ding Shi being screwed over, he would have left long ago. Even if the drink was free, drinking with these people proved to be dull.
He didn’t plan to go back to the private room, so he leaned against the wall and off-handedly pulled out his phone, intending to surf the web.
This was also the moment when he received Bai Juanqiu’s message.
Ren Xingliu: “!!”
He had forgotten about the on-going battle he had with Xiao Bai from this afternoon.
It was all Ding Shi’s fault for delaying his fun of teasing Xiao Bai!
Fortunately, Xiao Bai had a fifth sense and took the initiative to continue the battle!
As Ren Xingliu was about to reply, his fingers were not listening to his brain due to the influence of alcohol. For some reason, his fingers rebelled and clicked to initiate a video call.
[Awaiting response...]
No need to panic, just cancel the call.
But before he could, the video call was connected.
Ren Xingliu “...”
What was with this reaction? Comrade Xiao Bai, aren’t you a little too fast?
The moment they appeared on camera, the two of them were facing each other.
Bai Juanqiu was originally smiling, but when he saw the other party’s background, he frowned and asked, “You’re outside?”
Ren Xingliu wasn’t even listening to what was being said. He was already enchanted by the image on his phone scene.
Comrade Xiao Bai must have just finished taking a shower, with wet hair and a slightly open bathrobe, revealing his smooth and fine collarbones.
What a scene of recently bathed beauty!
Needless to say, alcohol could be quite scary when it kicked in.
For example, Ren Xingliu clearly felt that he shouldn’t do it, but his actions didn’t follow his orders. The dandy nature in his heart showed up again. He pursed his lips and gave a loud kiss to the screen, while talking nonsense.
For example, at this moment, Ren Xingliu’s brain clearly knew that he shouldn’t do it, but his mouth didn’t listen. Deep in his bones, that small ounce of silk pants nature erupted again. He puckered his lips and placed a loud kiss on the phone screen, loudly released his words...
“Gugu, you look really nice. Come and be sticky with Guo-er!”
Bai Juanqiu: “......?”
