Only Joes was stunned and did not say a word. She did not expect things to turn out this way. She did not give anything particularly expensive, only a ginseng that cost a few thousand dollars.
Although to her, this was not cheap.
There was not much left in the card that originally had 40000 to 50000 Yuan in it. Joes still had to make a living, so she naturally could not spend money extravagantly.
Forget it, so be it if itâs embarrassing. In any case, I donât have the intention of puffing up my own face.
âSigh ...â
She sighed helplessly. Zheng ze noticed it and glanced at the birthday gift on the stage. When he saw the helpless look on the kittenâs face, the pressure around him was finally lifted.
Jossi seemed to always be able to bring him a good mood. Zheng ze picked up the glass of red wine and took a sip, his brows relaxing.
After Zheng lihan finished speaking, he brought Ma Shan, who was beside him, to take a seat. Due to their seniority, they were fortunately not seated at old master Zhengâs table.
Otherwise, old master Zheng would probably not be in the mood to eat when he saw Ma Shan.
Joes blinked her eyes and was about to pick up her chopsticks when someone from their table suddenly stood up with a glass of red wine.
It was Wen Xuan.
She raised her glass of red wine with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She said to Zheng Zeyi with a little admiration,ââYoung master Zheng, long time no see.â
Zheng Zeyi raised his eyes slightly and glanced at them. He was not in a good mood right now, so he did not want to deal with these people.
......
Wen Xuan seemed to be a little embarrassed when she saw what he meant. At this moment, Zheng Zeyi patted Qiao sisiâs hand in private.
âWhat are you doing? âJoes asked with a dumbfounded expression.
However, her voice was very soft. Zheng Zeyi narrowed his eyes and raised his chin, signaling for joesse to drink on his behalf.
âThatâs wishful thinking ...â
Qiao si pursed her lips, but that warm palm suddenly covered her waist. Zheng Zeyi, that bastard! Use underhanded means!
Sensing that the hand was starting to get restless, joesse finally gave in and agreed to Zheng Zeyiâs request.
After a moment, she stood up with a glass of red wine in her hand. She smiled and said politely,ââMiss Wen, heâs not feeling well, so Iâll drink this glass of wine on his behalf.â
Wen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and clinked her glass with Qiao sisi in the air.
âBang!â
The crisp sound of glasses clinking rang out, and the two of them drank the red wine in their glasses in one go, not leaving a single drop.
Wen Xuan couldnât help but have a good impression of the girl in front of her. She smiled and said,ââYoung master Zheng, you really have good taste. Miss Qiao has a good tolerance for alcohol.â
âMiss Wen, youâre too kind, you too.â Joes replied without losing out.
The two of them went back and forth, as if they were playing Tai Chi, but there was no hostility between them. They were just simply greeting each other.
With Wen Xuanâs lead, many people stood up to toast Zheng ze, but they were all stopped by Qiao si.
Yang Yue Yue was the only one who did not dare to stand up and make a toast. She was a little afraid of Zheng Zeyi and did not dare to play any tricks in this situation.
She tried her best to minimize her presence as she sipped her red wine alone. However, the hatred in her eyes was undisguisable as she looked at Joes.
That B * tch Joes! She would not let her off! Yang Yue Yue thought to herself as she gripped the wine glass so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
After a few glasses of red wine, Qiao Si was also slightly tipsy. Her face was flushed red, and Zheng zeâs eyes darkened.
âIs it okay now?â Qiao si si glared at Zheng Zeyi. Perhaps it was because she had drunk red wine, but her eyes were flirtatious.
She had no idea how alluring she looked to Zheng ze.
However, since they were in public, Zheng Zeyi did not do anything. He only put his hand around Qiao sisiâs slender waist and leaned close to her ear, breathing hot air.
âBaby, youâve done well.â His magnetic voice seemed to carry an electric current, moving peopleâs hearts.
Zheng Zeyiâs smile deepened as he tightened his grip on her waist and sniffed the fresh scent on her body.
It wasnât like no one had noticed the ambiguous interaction between the two of them. For example, old master Zheng had seen it all. He was smiling so widely that his eyes had become slits.
âElder Zheng, what are you laughing at?â Grandpa Qin, who was sitting at old master Zhengâs table, said.
His tone was extremely impolite, but one could tell that he had known old master Zheng for many years.
Before old master Zheng had taken over the Zhengâs enterprise, he had been in the military with a few brothers who were also from aristocratic families. This man was one of them.
Old master Zheng waved his hand and said,ââOld Qin, you probably donât understand the feeling of your grandson, Sun Chengâs family. After all, your grandson is single.â
âElder Zheng, I donât like what youâre saying.â Grandpa Qin glanced at Zheng Zeyi and the other two before looking away unhappily.
He also had three sons, but they were all one-track minded and had not found a girlfriend yet.
On the other hand, Zheng Zeyi had already reached the stage of fiancée. How could they be compared?
The conversation between the two made the other people at the same table laugh. They were all old master Zhengâs good friends who had been specially invited to the birthday banquet.
In fact, he was showing off that his grandson had a fiancée.
âDonât be so arrogant, old Zheng. My grandson is not any worse than your grandson. Youâre just his fiancée. Just wait and see.â At this time, another old man said unwillingly.
âThatâs right. Elder Zheng, donât be too smug. Look at how smug you are.â
Old master Zheng took the words of these grandpas as envy. He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He felt that the tea was much more fragrant.
â¦â¦â¦
On the other side.
Joses âalcohol tolerance was not considered good. After drinking so much red wine, her head was a little dizzy. She picked up the glass of water on the table and poured herself a cup. She only felt much better after drinking it in one go.
Feeling the hand on her waist, joesseâs face turned even redder.
âZheng Zeyi, let me go.â Joes said softly. She wanted to struggle, but she was afraid that someone would see her. That would only make things more embarrassing.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zeyi hugged her even tighter, and the two of them were almost stuck together.
Naturally, someone noticed such an intimate contact, but they didnât dare to make a sound and pretended not to see it.
Sensing the strange gazes from her side, Joes wished she could find a hole to hide in. She quickly said to Zheng Zeyi, who refused to let go,ââI helped you drink just now. No matter what, I did you a favor.â
Her watery eyes were pleading. Zheng Zeyi chuckled and decided not to tease her anymore.
Thus, she let go of her hands. Feeling that the restraint on her waist was gone, Joes instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
She didnât want to be surrounded in public.
There were already many empty wine bottles on the table. They were all red wine bottles that everyone drank from. Even joesse had two empty bottles in front of her.
