This incident had stayed with Wei Xiao for many years. From the initial shock to the subsequent investigation, he gradually realized that Wei Feng, the head of the Wei family, wasn’t as virtuous as he appeared on the surface. His heart harbored darkness and malice, not only reserving sinister intentions for the family’s descendants but also extending it to the Wen family.

Wei Xiao still felt a lingering fear from that experience. He just couldn’t recall how much he had revealed to Wen Nian at the time or whether she had become suspicious.

With these thoughts in mind, he quickly picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Wen Nian.

Wei Xiao: I’m really sorry about yesterday. I drank too much. You didn’t quarrel with Shen Jun, right?

While Wen Nian was reviewing yesterday’s incorrect answers, her phone buzzed. Seeing that it was a message from Wei Xiao, she handed the phone to Shen Jun to help compose a reply.

Wei Xiao: Can you also apologize to Shen Jun for me? I had too much to drink yesterday. I wanted to cheer him up, so I thought we’d have a few extra drinks. I didn’t expect things to go south like that. I’m really sorry about what happened.

Wen Nian: We didn’t quarrel and we won’t quarrel.

Wei Xiao: That’s a relief. 1 really overdid it with the drinks yesterday. 1 just woke up. Did Shen Jun go to school today? Is he alright?

Wen Nian: He’s fine. He handles alcohol better than you.

Wei Xiao: Yeah, I can tell. Let him know that if he’s up for it, we can continue this weekend. We have some premium white wine at home. 1 promise not to go overboard this time.

Wen Nian replied, “Okay.”

Wei Xiao: By the way, when I was drunk yesterday, you asked me about gold bars?

Wei Xiao felt a bit uneasy; he didn’t know exactly what he had mentioned to Wen Nian yesterday, but he distinctly remembered that line. The Wei family’s matters were private, and he didn’t want to give the Wen family any leverage that might lead to trouble for his own family.

Seeing this message, Shen Jun furrowed his brows. He had listened to the recording from yesterday and hadn’t expected Wei Xiao to remember that sentence while being so intoxicated.

Wen Nian: Gold bars? Were you really that drunk yesterday? We just had dinner, and the priciest thing was that lobster. Where would gold bars come into the picture?

Wei Xiao: I must have been really out of it. Look at my memory. Anyway, don’t worry about it. Focus on your studies.

Seeing the last message, Shen Jun pursed his lips unconsciously and returned the phone to Wen Nian.

After reviewing the incorrect answers, Wen Nian inwardly rolled her eyes at Shen Jun’s reply. It seemed that he needed to emphasize his superiority over Wei Xiao even in casual conversations.

Recalling that he had drunk a lot yesterday, Wen Nian was a little suspicious. “Why are you so good at drinking? You weren’t drunk at all yesterday?”

“I’ve been around family gatherings and social events involving alcohol since 1 was young. Now I occasionally go out with friends for socializing.” Seeing Wen Nian’s expression, Shen Jun further explained, “I’ve never actually been drunk, not even yesterday.”

“So, you were deliberately messing with me, weren’t you?” Wen Nian narrowed her eyes playfully. Thinking back to yesterday’s scene made her blush again.

This time, Shen Jun didn’t explain anything. He just grunted.

Wen Nian was utterly done with him. Apart from focusing on her studies, her mind was consumed with plotting how to find evidence.

Since Wei Xiao knew about Wei Feng’s affairs, it was likely that other members of the Wei family were aware of it as well. Otherwise, how could a young boy like him know so much?

The day passed uneventfully until school ended in the afternoon, and Wei Xiao finally returned to the classroom.

He walked straight to Shen Jun. “Shen Jun, I’m sorry about yesterday. This is a hangover medicine prepared by my family. It also has the effect of protecting the liver. This is for you.”

Shen Jun didn’t move or speak.

Feeling awkward, Wei Xiao scratched his nose. “Um, I truly had too much to drink yesterday. I’m sorry, don’t lower yourself to my level. I also apologized to Wen Nian. I really lost my memory yesterday. Don’t be angry.”

Several classmates were still in the classroom, and they couldn’t help but watch Wei Xiao. The Wei family’s young heir rarely tried to appease others like this. Their gazes at Shen Jun changed as well; evidently, this Shen Jun had quite a background.

“Shen Jun, you haven’t left yet?” Jiang Chun’s voice came from the back door as she walked in, carrying a pink bag that seemed carefully chosen.

“My grandmother prepared these hangover remedies and some sugar-coated pills for you. She says they work wonders for relieving hangovers and headaches.”

Jiang Chun wanted to send it over in the morning, but she thought that she might be able to go home with Shen Jun at night. She waited until school ended, but unfortunately, Wei Xiao also sent the medicine over.

Nonetheless, Jiang Chun smiled at Shen Jun and then handed over the medicine. “Come on, take these. 1 brought them especially for you.”

Shen Jun furrowed his brow, unsure why he suddenly felt reluctant to take them. He glanced at Wen Nian with a tinge of guilt..
