Chapter 277 - 277: He Was Clearly Drunk

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu intended to ignore Xia Jinmeng.

However, when she walked past Xia Jinmeng, Xia Jinmeng blocked her way with a sidestep.

“How’s that? I manage to get close to Lu Shiyuan so smoothly even without your help. You didn’t expect it, did you?”

Her tone was full of pride.

Lin Shanchu leaned forward and looked straight into Xia Jinmeng’s eyes. With a smile on her face, she asked softly, “How close are you two? Did you kiss him?

Have you slept with him?”

Her tone was extremely polite, but she asked the bold questions.

Xia Jinmeng was dumbstruck. “You…”

“He didn’t sleep with you?” Lin Shanchu said regretfully. “Then you two aren’t that close.”

“He never slept with you either, did he?” Xia Jinmeng retorted.

“If I was willing to sleep with him, do you think you’d stand a chance?” Lin Shanchu snorted coldly.

Speechless, Xia Jinmeng initially wanted to show off her achievement, but she did not expect Lin Shanchu to mock her.

Xia Jinmeng looked proud when she blocked Lin Shanchu’s way earlier, but now she was feeling aggrieved.

She turned around and wanted to leave, but she stopped, as if she had thought of something.

She turned around and looked at Lin Shanchu. “Oh right, you should go back early. Otherwise, you will be embarrassed when President Lu come to pick me up and meet you face-to-face later.”

Lin Shanchu had not broken off the engagement with Lu Shiyuan. Lu Shiyuan was intimate with another woman in front of her, so it was natural that the one who would be embarrassed was his fiancée, Lin Shanchu.

After Xia Jinmeng finished speaking, she walked away arrogantly.

Although Lin Shanchu did not really understand why Xia Jinmeng was so proud, she thought that it was a good thing.

“What took you so long?”

Yun Wu was holding a plate of cakes and desserts in her hands as she looked up at Lin Shanchu.

Next to her, Huo Xunzhou looked indifferent.

The two siblings looked like harmonious family members who loved each other.

They reconciled so quickly.

“I met Xia Jinmeng.” Lin Shanchu looked calmly at Xia Jinmeng.

A waiter happened to pass by her with a tray.

Lin Shanchu was about to take the wine from the tray.

As soon as her hand touched the wine glass, she felt someone looking at her.

She turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou staring at her.

Lin Shanchu pursed her lips and moved her hand to the side to pick up a glass of fruit juice.

“Give me a moment.” As Lin Shanchu spoke, she walked towards Xia Jinmeng.

“What is Shanshan doing?” Yun Wu asked Huo Xunzhou.

“You’ll know when you go over and take a look,” Huo Xunzhou said casually.

“You’re right!” Yun Wu quickly finished the desserts in her hand, got up, and walked over.

As soon as Yun Wu approached them, she saw Lin Shanchu asking the waiter to put down a tray of red wine.

“Put it here.” Lin Shanchu looked at Xia Jinmeng. “I heard from Lu Shiyuan that your alcohol tolerance is not bad. Let me see how good you are at drinking.”

“When did he…” Xia Jinmeng noticed that all the people around her were looking in her direction, so her tone softened. “President Lin, do you have some kind of misunderstanding? Actually, my alcohol tolerance isn’t that good.”

“Is that so?” Lin Shanchu took a sip of fruit juice and said, “In that case, you lied to Lu Shiyuan, or did Lu Shiyuan lie to me?”

Anyone with a keen eye could tell that Lin Shanchu was trying to make things difficult for Xia Jinmeng.

Although this kind of drama where the wife made things difficult for the mistress was cliché, it was still popular and everyone loved to watch it.

The courageous ones had started to lean over.

The cautious people also pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between the two of them.

Xia Jinmeng felt extremely aggrieved.

In her current circumstances, she could not have a direct confrontation with Lin Shanchu.

At this moment, she saw Lu Shiyuan walking over from afar.

Overjoyed, she wore a weak look and said to Lin Shanchu, “I’ll give it a try then. ”

Xia Jinmeng picked up the glass and gulped down the wine.

She drank one glass after another.

When she was about to finish the six glasses of wine on the tray, Lu Shiyuan suddenly appeared and snatched the glass from her hand.

“President Lu…” Xia Jinmeng turned to look at Lu Shiyuan. Her cheeks were red from the alcohol and her eyes were red-rimmed with grievance, looking as pitiful as she could be.

Lu Shiyuan furrowed his brows and looked at Lin Shanchu coldly. “Are you done messing around?”

“I was just teasing Xia Jinmeng,” Lin Shanchu said innocently.

Lu Shiyuan noticed the onlookers around him. He did not want to make a fool of himself in such a situation, so he grabbed Xia Jinmeng’s hand and wanted to leave.

Xia Jinmeng had drunk quite a bit and was already feeling a little dizzy.

Lin Shanchu picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Lu Shiyuan. “Since you’re here, let’s drink two glasses before you leave.”

She glanced indifferently at Lu Shiyuan with a hint of warning in her clear eyes.

Her intention was clear. If Lu Shiyuan did not drink two glasses of wine before leaving as she wished, then she would continue to cause trouble.

Lu Shiyuan cared about his dignity, so he couldn’t help but accept the wine reluctantly.

He finished the wine in one gulp and showed her the empty glass.

“Drink some more.” Lin Shanchu handed him another glass of wine.

Lu Shiyuan’s expression turned cold, but when he saw Lin Shanchu’s warning gaze, he could only take it again.

However, he did not drink it immediately this time. Instead, he looked up at Lin Shanchu.”Let’s drink together.”

“President Lu.”

Before Lin Shanchu could say anything, Huo Xunzhou’s voice came from behind.

Huo Xunzhou held a glass of wine in his hand.

He raised his hand slightly and toasted Lu Shiyuan before downing the wine in his hand.

This time, Lu Shiyuan had to drink it even if he did not want to.

Righter after Lu Shiyuan finished drinking the wine, Huo Xunzhou raised another glass.

Everyone was a little surprised by Huo Xunzhou’s action.

Even Lin Shanchu could not understand why Huo Xunzhou would do that.

She gave Huo Xunzhou a puzzled look.

However, Huo Xunzhou did not even look at her, as if he was trying to get Lu Shiyuan drunk. He drank one glass after another with Lu Shiyuan.

The two men competed silently.

After a while, Lu Shiyuan opposite him could no longer stand steadily.

Lin Shanchu was delighted.

Both Lu Shiyuan and Xia Jinmeng had drunk quite a bit. The two of them were so drunk that they could commit drunken mistakes.

Someone whispered in the crowd around them.

“Best Actor Huo has such a good tolerance for alcohol. He’s not even drunk.”

“This is nothing. I heard that when Best Actor Huo drank with investors in the past, the drunk investors fell off the table, but his expression didn’t even change…”

Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou upon hearing those words.

Huo Xunzhou’s expression was the same as usual.

However, Lin Shanchu was the closest to him and was familiar with him. At a glance, she could tell that his eyes were a little duller than usual.

She called out to him tentatively.

“President Huo…

After a few seconds, Huo Xunzhou turned to look at her.

His indifferent and charming eyes glistened faintly, making him look fragile for some reason.

He was clearly drunk.

“Boring. I’m going back.” Lin Shanchu glanced at Lu Shiyuan coldly before she pushed Huo Xunzhou and left..
