Chapter 412 - A Special Drink
Chapter 412: Chapter 413 A Special Drink
Mo Fei still didn’t understand men after all. Men would bow their heads, but they wouldn’t admit their mistakes, especially if they didn’t do anything wrong. Brother Wei didn’t say anything, but Qin Lan said, “Ms. Mo, it’s all my fault. They started the fight because of me. Miss Xue, I’m sorry. It’s obviously your welcoming party, but it became like this. Chu Nan, I’m sorry. You are the host of this party, but we caused you such trouble.”
I shook my head and said, “Sister Lan, don’t say that. It’s normal to have a little friction between colleagues. Everyone, it’s fine now. It’s just a small argument. Please don’t keep it in mind. Let’s carry on eating. After the meal, whoever wants to go upstairs to sing or dance, can still do that, and it will still be my treat.”
Everyone knew that my intention was to ease the tension in the air, so they all clapped their hands and applauded. The embarrassment brought about by conflict was soon replaced by a joyful atmosphere. However, after having such an incident, it would be inappropriate for me, the host of the party, to leave directly after the meal. I had to stay behind to accompany them. Later on, I could only ask Dong Xiaoye to send Dongfang and Chu Yuan home first. In the end, I still couldn’t use those two little girls as shields to escape…
Seeing that Qin Lan who had been taken advantage of came out to apologize on his behalf, Yang Wei felt very guilty, but then he heard Gong Fanlin grumbled, “See? In the end, it was still a woman who came out to clean his mess…”
When Brother Wei heard it, his face changed instantly and he almost lost his temper again; but fortunately, Elder Sister Liu scolded angrily, “Gong Fanlin, are you done! Or do you still want to cause trouble? Do you think that you didn’t do anything wrong?
Gong Fanlin finally stopped speaking. Seeing this, Tian Guochong hurriedly said, “Ms. Mo, Team Leader Liu, please don’t get mad. He is just like this after drinking too much alcohol. Hehe, Yang Wei, please don’t keep it in mind. We are all colleagues, so there is really no need to get mad for such a trivial matter. How about this? We are almost full now, so we will hire a karaoke booth upstairs to sing a few songs to sober up. Chu Nan, later on, you can bring everyone upstairs. Hehe, we are looking forward to hearing Ms. Mo and Miss Xue’s singing voices.”
To think that he was actually drunk to this extent, who knew how many glasses of beer Qin Lan made him drink. So it was not a bad idea to drag Gong Fanlin away first. After I nodded, Sun Zhe and Tian Guochong quickly dragged Gong Fanlin who was reluctant to leave upstairs.
After they left, I said a few words to appease everyone again, and then I sat back with a headache. Smiling bitterly at Mo Fei, I said, “Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, who knows what it would end.”
Mo Fei smiled slyly, “That’s because you have great foresight. Wasn’t it you who insisted on asking me to come?”
I was dazed. Seeing Liusu pout her mouth and Ziyun frown her eyebrows, I smiled even more bitterly. This Mo Fei, did she not know that there was enough trouble already? Why did she want to make those two women jealous?
“Nan Nan, you lost the game earlier, right?” Liusu handed over a glass of carefully prepared viscous liquid that exuded a strange smell and said with a smile that was as warm and pleasant as the sunshine in the spring. “Don’t break your promises. Now it is time for you to drink this special drink.”
The pungent smell of this special drink almost made me want to cry. The complex and nauseating color made me seriously question the authenticity of this thing, “Is this really a beer mixed with juice? Are you sure that nothing else is mixed in it?”
I was very suspicious. After all, I noticed that Chu Yuan was secretly hiding something under the table. Moreover, there was a bottle of fruit vinegar, a bottle of Erguotou, and a bottle of red wine next to her chair leg.
In front of her, half of the sweet noodle sauce and chili sauce that were served with the roast duck also went missing. In her bowl, there was a small half bowl of olive oil scooped out of the boiled fish soup…
Liusu looked at me with a smile. The fact that she wasn’t angry after being questioned by me could already explain everything. She knew that I didn’t believe her, but she also knew that even if I didn’t believe her, I would still drink it. “Of course, I’m sure. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yuan Yuan.”
Chu Yuan quickly nodded and then said with a very serious face, “I can testify that it is really just a beer mixed with juice. There is nothing else inside.”
Who would believe her testimony?! It was clearly her who made this cup of potentially life-threatening drink, right? I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t shed any tears. Liusu clearly knew that it was Chu Yuan who made this drink, but she still wanted me to ask her. Her intention was obvious, she was just messing with me.
Sure enough, seeing that I was still hesitant, she said meaningfully, “Don’t tell me that you don’t even believe your little sister. Or do you want Ms. Mo to confirm it before you can drink it?”
As expected, Chu Yuan’s little face immediately darkened after she heard this sentence…
In the end, to prevent my little sister from throwing a tantrum, I could only hold my breath, raise my head, and drink the sour, spicy, bitter, and astringent “drink” in one gulp.
. . .
The conflict between Yang Wei and Gong Fanlin made everyone realize how alcohol could make them forget their manners, so not many people dared to order a lot of drinks, which indirectly saved me a lot of money. However, even if they couldn’t drink to their heart’s content, everyone was still in high spirits; so it was inevitable that they wanted to sing or dance after a meal.
Elder Sister Liu was worried about Kang Kang, and Song Jia lived with her mother. She was afraid that her mother would be worried if she went home late, so she left with Elder Sister Liu. Brother Gao and some colleagues with their families also left, but there were still a small number of people who stayed behind.
I had drunk quite a lot during the meal, plus I didn’t rest well in the last few days because I had been thinking a lot of things, so my face didn’t look very well. Noticing this, Dong Xiaoye was very worried, saying that she would come back to pick me up after sending Chu Yuan and Dongfang home. I nodded and told her not to worry too much and then went to the third floor with Mo Fei, Liusu, Ziyuan, Yao Wan’er, and other people.
I tried to persuade Yang Wei to go home, but he refused to listen to me, saying that it would make Gong Fanlin think he was scared of him. After he repeatedly promised that he would not provoke Gong Fanlin, I could only give up persuading him. Qin Lan was probably worried that Yang Wei would start a fight with Gong Fanlin again. She tied the jacket she borrowed from Yao Wan’er around her waist to cover the wet spot on her trousers and went upstairs with us.
Whether it was Mo Fei or Ziyuan, they were not the kind of people who would sing in front of others, not to mention Yao Wan’er, a girl who never dared to raise her voice in front of people. So the private room became a stage for Liusu alone. However, it became torture for me. I finally found a comfortable spot in the room to take a quick nap, but because of her howling, I could not sleep at all.
Brother Wei and Gong Fanlin were deliberately separated to sit on the two ends of the sofa by everyone. Both of them were holding a grudge in their hearts. They did not talk or sing, making the atmosphere very stiff.
Probably realizing that they had ruined everyone’s mood, Brother Wei told me that it was too stuffy in the room and he wanted to go to the club upstairs to have some drinks. Qin Lan and Yao Wan’er were worried about him, so they went upstairs with him.
After a while, noticing that Liusu, Mo Fei, and Ziyuan only talked to me from time to time and after failing to get into our conversations several times, Old Black, Xiao Sun, and other male colleagues all left the booth and went upstairs to try to pick up girls with Gong Fanlin.
The effect of drinking too much alcohol eventually kicked in, making me feel a severe headache. With the colorful lights flickering on the ceiling and the noisy music, I felt that the room before my eyes were spinning. I couldn’t hear what Liusu and the other girls were talking about clearly, I could only reply perfunctorily.
As my eyelids got heavier and heavier, in a trance, my body suddenly tilted and I seemed to have laid on someone’s thigh. Smelling a faint scent of refreshing smell that was poured into my nose, my headache and dizziness were alleviated a lot, and I finally lost my consciousness.
….
I didn’t know how long it had passed, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, waking me from my sleep. Yao Wan’er said loudly in panic, “Elder Brother Nan, Brother Yang is in trouble!”
“Hmm? In trouble? “I was still in a state of trance after waking up so I didn’t react immediately. Only after a few seconds did I wake up completely, and my face instantly changed, “What trouble? Did he have a fight with Gong Fanlin again? ”
“No,” Yao Wan’er said breathlessly. Clearly, she had been running all the way downstairs to tell me this.
“After going upstairs, they went dancing on the dance floor. Lan Lan and I were sitting at the bar drinking. Then a yellow-haired man came over with two other men wanting to talk to us. That man was clearly drunk. He even wanted, wanted to touch us… Gong Fanlin saw everything and came over to stop them, but then he got into a fight with them. Later, Tian Guochong and Sun Zhe also went to help him. And after we told Elder Brother Wei what happened, he smashed a bottle on that yellow-haired man’s head and injured him…”
I said anxiously, “What about them? Are they alright?”
“How can they be alright?” Yao Wan’er cried, “The yellow-haired man was a hooligan and also the security of the club. I want to tell you about the fight so I left the club early; but after I came out, I saw him take thirty people in black clothes into the club carrying bats in their hands. Elder Brother Nan what do we do? They must have surrounded them now!”
What else could we do? We couldn’t just leave them alone? I was both worried and annoyed. Why would such a thing happen at Ziyuan’s welcoming party? I got up and said, “Let’s go and see…Huh?”
Before I could stand up straight, I felt that the room was spinning and I almost fell again. Fortunately, someone helped me in time. I turned my head and saw that it was Ziyuan. Just as I was about to thank her, I noticed that she staggered slightly.
“What happened?”
Seeing that I was looking at her, Ziyuan blushed and quickly looked away, “It’s nothing, my legs are a little numb.”
Her legs were numb? I lowered my head and saw that her skirt was wrinkled. Moreover, there was a wet spot on the top of her knees. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but blush, “I…”
