Chapter 459: Pouring Wine

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The production team had prepared a table full of dishes to go with the wine. They even placed all the alcohol they could buy on the table. They wanted to get everyone drunk.

Bai Lin grabbed the bottle of alcohol closest to her.

Yan Ruo reached out and snatched it away. “This alcohol is too strong. You should drink some champagne.”

After saying that, he personally opened a bottle of champagne and poured it for her. Bai Lin did not care what she drank. She had a good tolerance for alcohol and was not afraid of getting drunk.

Yan Ruo did not know her alcohol tolerance and only wanted to prevent others from seeing her drunk.

Sheng Chuan and his uncle had the same thoughts. He took a bottle of fruit wine with a low alcohol content and passed it to Ruan Jing. “This is fruity. You can drink this.’

“What about you?” Ruan Jing asked.

Sheng Chuan wanted to drink some hard liquor, but seeing Ruan Jing’s frightened expression, he changed his mind. “I’ll drink the same as you.”

Ruan Jing was relieved when she heard that. She had seen her father drink all day since she was young. When he drank too much, he would go crazy. Otherwise, she would not have gone out to study. Therefore, she was very happy to hear Sheng Chuan say that.

She did not want Sheng Chuan to drink like her father.

Nieng Lan picked up a bottle of beer and opened it directly with chopsticks. She was so skillful that it shocked Jian Xi. He asked carefully, “Do you drink often?”

“Not very often, but I used to have social gatherings when I was working.” Meng Lan also opened Jian Xi’s bottle.

Jian Xi picked up the bottle and clinked it with Meng Lan. “Then you must be very good at interpersonal communication.”

Meng Lan smiled. “I’m alright. I’m just shameless.”

Seeing that everyone was drinking, He Ao had no intention of holding back. He poured himself a glass of red wine and chatted with Meng Lan about drinking social situations. Jian Xi was shy to begin with, so he was unable to interrupt.

The atmosphere warmed out and achieved the effect that the director wanted. At this moment, Chu Yi made her grand entrance in a gown. She even wore a set of diamond jewelry that shone brightly under the lights.

Sheng Chuan, who was telling Ruan Jing a joke, opened his mouth wide. She was dressed like she was walking the red carpet. What was Chu Yi doing? [Wow, Chuchu’s clothes a_re so beautiful, and the jewelry is so shiny!] [What’s Chu Yi thinking? She’s overdressed.]

[She said that she’s changing her clothes, but she actually wanted to look better than all the girls.]

[I’ve never seen such a scheming person.]

[Isn’t she afraid of spilling wine on her clothes?]

Chu Yi thought that she had stunned everyone and proudly walked up to He Ao. “Can I sit here?”

He Ao could no longer tolerate Chu Yi’s scheming thoughts. He stood up abruptly and sat in the empty seat beside Meng Lan. Jian Xi then became the person closest to Chu Yi, and he was so scared that he almost choked.

Chu Yi did not expect He Ao to embarrass her in public, but she gritted her teeth and sat beside Jian Xi in order to maintain her elegance.

He Ao and Nieng Lan were both experts in their work. The two of them quickly got engaged in a chat, while Jian Xi sat at the side and looked at them in loneliness. Chu Yi sensed his displeasure,

She raised her wine glass to give Jian Xi a toast and deliberately said, “Meng

Lan and He Ao look so compatible. Look at how happy they are chatting.”

These words were equivalent to stabbing a knife into Jian Xi’s heart. He had always thought that Meng Lan was on his side.

Although he participated in the show to change his introversion, meeting Meng Lan was an unexpected surprise. Before Jian Xi could get closer to her, He Ao beat him to it.

Chu Yi was even happier when she saw his lonely expression. She leaned over and said, “After all, they’re capable talents in their workplace. It’s definitely easy to talk to each other. Meng Lan hasn’t received a complete education either. It’s not possible to talk to her about school matters.”

Jian Xi’s expression became even sadder. He only knew to talk about academic topics and things in school. Meng Lan said that she really wanted to hear about things in school. Was she lying to him?

Chu Yi did not expect Jian Xi to be so easy to fool. She managed to coax him with just a few words. Looking at He Ao who was sitting with Meng Lan and smiling, a thought appeared in her mind.

“What’s so good about beer? I’ll pour you a glass of red wine.”Chu Yi took the beer bottle from Jian Xi and bent down to pour the wine into the glass in front of him.

The gown she wore was off shoulder. After bending over, her voluptuous chest bumped into Jian Xi’s eyes. Jian Xi, who had never seen such a scene before, blushed.

He downed the red wine in his hand in one gulp and looked around, not

daring to look at Chu Yi again.

Only then did Chu Yi regain her confidence. She thought that Jian Xi was really an innocent man who could not stand any teasing..
