âAlright, enough about her. Come on, have something to drink,â Mr. Lin said and began pouring his own wine.
Luosang silently looked at the people in the room. âZhong Yi, it was so unfair for you to only win a newcomer award this year. You should be awarded as best actress, as youâre so good at acting,â she thought.
While Luosang was thinking, Zhong Yi kicked her gently under the table, then mouthed at her, âDrink for me.â
Mr. Lin and the other man called Supervisor Chang were proposing a toast to Zhong Yi. So, as her assistant, Luosang should now put herself forward and do the drinking for her.
However, she wasnât stupid. She couldnât tell if these people were trying to make her drunk, and Zhong Yi who used to be her good friend knew exactly of her drinking capacity.
She pretended that nothing had happened, while nicely picking a piece of pork leg into Zhong Yiâs rice bowl.
âYouâre trying to stay in shape, but Iâll make you fat,â she thought.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhong Yi was so angry, but she couldnât show it on face. She gave an even warmer smile, finished a glass of wine, then put a hand on her forehead while waving another, saying, âI still need to talk to Mr. Yi over the phone tonight. If he finds me being drunk, heâd lecture me again. Iâll let my assistant drink with you. She has a good capacity for alcohol.â
Luosang sneered. âNow youâre revealing your true purpose,â she thought.
âIn this case, Miss. Xu...â Mr. Lin directly poured Luosang a full cup of Baijiu.
âLuosang, donât worry, just drink. Iâll send you back if you get drunk,â said Zhong Yi caringly.
At this point, Luosang had no choice but to do what Zhong Yi said.
Before, she would get drunk on three cups of Baijiu. After coming to Xia City, she had managed to turn that number into four through practice.
She finished two cups of Baijiu, then began to feel dizzy. So, she hurriedly stood up and said, âI need to go to the bathroom.â
âGo, we have one in our room,â Mr. Lin pointed at the right side of the room with a faint smile.
Luosang clenched her teeth. It seemed that these people wouldnât give her a chance to run away.
After getting into the bathroom, she closed the door and took out her phone, trying to call someone to help her. However, she looked through her contact lists and found that she didnât really have any friends in Xia City.
She thought for a moment, then called Yan Su. The call was answered, and some noises were heard from the phone. Luosang guessed that Yan Su was working in the bar at the moment.
âSu, Iâm in Gu Feng Club, can you please come here? Iâm at a dinner party now, and I might get into some troubles later. I need an excuse to leave. But of course, if youâre too busy...â
âThatâs alright, Iâll be on my way,â Yan Su interrupted her.
âDonât lose your phone. Contact me at any time you need. If the situation gets urgent, Iâll call the police,â said Yan Su.
Hearing that, Luosang was relieved a little.
She washed her face, then went out. The two women who were supposed to keep the two men in company had left already.
âMiss. Xu, youâve spent a rather long while in the bathroom,â Mr. Lin stood up, face blushed. He put an arm on Luosangâs shoulder, while trying to thrust a cup of Baijiu in her hand.
âMr. Lin, Iâm really drunk, I canât have anymore,â Luosang pushed his hand away.
âLittle girl, Iâm showing you my respect by offering this. Donât think yourself as a princess. Your father is in prison, and he canât protect you now,â Mr. Lin grinned and warned Luosang, âIâm telling you this, Iâm one of the shareholders of this club, so without my word, you wonât be able to leave this place.â
Luosangâs heart began thumping. She glanced at Zhong Yi, but found that the latter was looking at her phone and texting someone smilingly, as if everything in this room had nothing to do with her.
At that moment, Luosang figured out everything.
However, she didnât think that Mr. Lin would be a shareholder of this club. In this case, it would really be a little difficult for her to get out.
âAlright, Mr. Lin, Iâll definitely accept your respect,â Luosang gritted her teeth and finished the cup of Baijiu. A couple of minuets later, she pretended to be drunk, lying on the table, as if she was falling unconscious.
Mr. Lin pushed her for a few times, but she didnât open her eyes.
