Chapter 47 — Game

Chi Zhengzheng and the others turned around and looked over. After seeing the group of people walking by clearly, there was surprise in her eyes.

– It turned out to be Wen Yiran and his group!

It was not only Wen Yiran, but also Wen Sisi, An Qinru, Chi Zhouchen, and others.

Zheng Ye, who was standing next to Chi Zhengzheng and Wen Yu, immediately whispered: "I didn't invite them, believe me!"

Wen Yu's eyes sank slightly, and he didn't say anything, just looked at the guests faintly.

Wen Yiran also saw them. Seeing Wen Yu and Chi Zhengzheng standing in the same place, side by side, looking extraordinarily well-matched, he couldn't help but slightly pursing his lips.

"Brother Zheng Ye, I just happened to meet Yiran and the others, they heard you were back and wanted to come and see you, so I brought them here." One of the men stepped forward and smiled a little embarrassed.

– This was obviously a pretext.

These people were all gathered together, and they must have come to the welcome reception.

Zheng Ye paused, before smiling and saying: "It's okay, come and play together. Thank you for welcoming me back.

He really couldn't ignore Wen Yiran at the moment, this time he came back to help Wen Yu clean them up. He had only just returned, naturally, he couldn't alarm the snake.

These people were all here, not just Wen Yiran, there were many others in the group, it was impossible to turn them all away.

"Chi Zhengzheng!" As soon as Wen Sisi saw Chi Zhengzheng, her eyes lit up.

She walked over quickly and went next to Chi Zhengzheng, and asked: "You're actually here? What a surprise-"

Halfway through, she saw Wen Yu and immediately paused, half a second later she said: "Okay, I get it."

Wen Yu came, so it was normal for this girl to come too.

Zheng Ye greeted the group of people and went inside, and Chi Zhengzheng followed them.

"Why are you here with them?" She lowered her voice and asked.

Wen Sisi: "I was bored, then I heard Brother Yiran say that Zheng Ye came back and wanted to come and take a look, I was really bored, so I followed along."

"Oh…" Wen Yiran, what were they up to? Did they want to befriend Zheng Ye?

Chi Zhengzheng thought for a while, but she really didn't understand what his purpose was, so she didn't waste her brainpower thinking about it. Naturally, Wen Yu and Zheng Ye would think about these questions.

"Chi Zhengzheng, have some wine with me later, I haven't had a drink for a long time." Wen Sisi said again.

"I'll see."

As they spoke, the group of people walked in.

The orchestra that was playing music inside stopped, and Zheng Ye went to the stage and said with a smile –

"Thank you all…"

He spoke on the stage, and some people below listened carefully, while others were whispering.

The people who had been waiting with Zheng Ye outside to hear about them before whispered –

"So the person we waited so long for is Wen Yu ah."

"Wen Yu and I aren't familiar with each other. I only heard that his father and he severed the father-son relationship?"

"Tsk tsk, I've heard that this father and son had a bad relationship before, and they have reached the point of severing their relationship."

"Wen Yiran is also here, he and Zheng Ye are two famous talents. How come Zheng Ye isn't friendly with Wen Yiran but is so good to Wen Yu?"

"The madam of the Wen family has been talking to my mother about Wen Yu recently, but Zheng Ye is treating him like in old times."

"And Zheng Ye also called him brother…"

"We'd better be friends with Wen Yiran, Wen Yu had no friendship with us before, and now he's even been cut off from the Wen family, even his fiancée Chi Zhengzheng is also in a state where she left home."

"Forget it, he's Zheng Ye's friend, let's treat him as an equal, today is Zheng Ye's welcome reception."

…

An Qinru also lowered her voice next to Wen Yiran's ear and said: "Zheng Ye and Wen Yu are really close…"

She looked at Chi Zhengzheng not far away. The other party was looking at the stage at this moment, with a laid-back and confident posture and a very good complexion. Obviously, she has been doing very well recently.

An Qinru's lips pursed.

Why could she live such a happy life?

She ran away from home, and now her fiancé had severed ties with the Wen family. What else does she have to be happy about?

An Qinru really wanted to watch Chi Zhengzheng being a joke, but every time she saw her radiant appearance, she felt as if she was breathless and felt uncomfortable.

The last time at Wen Sisi's birthday party, she made a stunning appearance, and because of the necklace, she became the talk of the women in the circle for a long time, and everyone envied her.

– Everything was going so smoothly enough to make people jealous.

Wen Yiran didn't say anything, his eyes also looked in Wen Yu's direction, just in time to see Wen Yu lowering his head and saying something in Chi Zhengzheng's ear, his eyes instantly became dark and his eyebrows furrowed.

On this side, Chi Zhengzheng was listening to Zheng Ye's speech when Wen Yu lowered his voice next to her ear and said: "Let's leave early."

His voice was low and muffled, and his breath hit her ears, to the extent that Chi Zhengzheng's ears twitched and quickly turned red.

– F*ck. Was this the legendary ears getting pregnant?!

When Wen Yu saw this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The discomfort that was originally caused by the large number of people was relieved all of a sudden.

Chi Zhouchen had been sitting in the corner, he came today to talk to Chi Zhengzheng, but because Wen Yu had been next to Chi Zhengzheng, he didn't have the opportunity to say a few words to her alone.

"… Today, I, Zheng Ye, am back!" On stage, as soon as Zheng Ye pulled out the wine bottle, the lighting, sound, and band all started, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

As soon as Zheng Ye got off the stage, someone immediately asked loudly, "Zheng Ye, are you coming back this time to enter your Zheng family's company?"

"Haha, yes, I'm going to enter a company." Zheng Ye said with a smile and glanced at Wen Yu through his peripheral vision.

There are so many people at this moment, Wen Yiran and the others were all there, so it was difficult for him to get close to Wen Yu. After all, the Wen family hadn't fallen. Obviously, Wen Yu didn't want to be exposed like this.

He didn't say which company he was going to, but the others took it for granted that it was the Zheng family's company.

The man added: "Then you should have a good chat with Yiran, although you are a little older than Yiran, their company has advanced more than yours, my father is always praising Yiran, saying that he's very good."

Wen Yiran smiled gently and raised his glass towards Zheng Ye.

Zheng Ye also raised his glass, the two clinked, he said with a big smile: "Good! I've heard many elders praise the Wen second young master, this time I'm back, I'll learn from him properly!"

After saying that, he poured a glass of wine resolutely.

Wen Yiran paused slightly, learn?

He didn't know why, but when he heard these two words, his heart suddenly tightened.

Did Zheng Ye use the wrong word?

Or was he just expressing that he wanted to see his abilities in the future, and had no other meaning?

But these two words "to learn", was like a provocation, as if…. they were about to face each other in the future.

(t/n: lǐngjiào can be used as asking for advice or as learning from experience when used ironically or humorously.)

Various thoughts spun around Wen Yiran's head, and then he also finished the glass of wine in one gulp, he smiled and continued talking with them, putting aside the thoughts just now.

Zheng Ye was being pestered by everyone to drink and was pleasing people left and right.

On this side, Wen Sisi pulled Chi Zhengzheng: "Come, let's play a game. The last time I asked you to drink with me, you ended up drinking juice. You can't hide this time. You may have drunk before, I want to compete with you to see who can drink!"

That being said, she opened the wine skillfully.

Chi Zhengzheng watched her open the wine and gulped inexplicably.

She wasn't much of a drinker, and nor did she like to drink very much, but the original owner did seem to love and drink quite a lot, and now she suddenly craved wine.

Wen Yu: "Don't drink, drinking will hold things up." As soon as he saw Wen Sisi bring out the wine, his brow furrowed.

Chi Zhengzheng had already taken the wine and turned to look at him. Her eyes were extremely bright under the light. "I want to drink today because you're here."

Drinking in nightclubs was indeed prone to accidents. She only asked for juice when she came, and she didn't dare to touch alcohol.

But today Wen Yu was here and she felt very safe in her heart, so she could be willful.

– As long as Wen Yu was here.

Wen Yu paused slightly, then suppressed the arc of the corners of his mouth, and whispered softly: "One bottle at most."

He always couldn't resist indulging her.

Since he was here, who could dare bully her in front of him?

"Okay!"Chi Zhengzheng raised the corner of her mouth, feeling very pleased.

She turned her head, she and Wen Sisi had a drinking contest.

The others didn't talk to Wen Yu, and he ignored the others, so he sat next to him and kept watching Chi Zhengzheng play.

"Hahaha! Wen Sisi, you drink!"

"Chi Zhengzheng, are you cheating? How come you are so powerful?!"

"Hey hey hey, don't talk nonsense, you drink!"

…

The corner of his mouth went up when Wen Yu listened to her laughing next to him.

After a while, An Qinru noticed them and shouted: "Why are you two hiding and playing by yourselves? Let's come together. It's so lively."

She was smiling gently, taking the position to liven up the atmosphere.

As a matter of fact, a lot of people immediately spoke up-

"Yeah, let's play together."

"Zhengzheng and Sisi, you two beauties, don't leave us to play on our own."

"What do you want to play?"

"Roll the dice, it's so easy!"

…

As they said so, a waiter immediately came over with dice and sieve cups.

Even Zheng Ye greeted them: "Sister-in-law… Miss Chi, come on, let's play together."

The sieve cups were immediately placed on the table.

Wen Sisi took two sieve cups and handed one to Chi Zhengzheng: "Come on, come on, let's play together, if we keep the drinking contest with you, I will get drunk, I don't believe that I can still lose to you playing dice!"

"Bro… A Yu, are you coming?" Zheng Ye looked to Wen Yu, slightly nervous.

Wen Yu: "You guys play."

He didn't say to leave, nor was he angry, but he didn't participate either.

Zheng Ye let out a sigh of relief.

Some people were playing the game, some people were watching, and some people were dancing and drinking.

Chi Zhengzheng could play this game. She hadn't played with so many people for a long time. Although two people she hated, Wen Yiran and An Qinru, were there, the overall atmosphere was still good.

It was reassuring to have Wen Yu by her side, so she smiled and played along.

But soon, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Because – she found herself being targeted.

And more than one person targeted her, An Qinru, and the two people she had the best relationship with had joined forces.

The game was quite simple, it was all about luck, but because of the seating, her top player gave her dangerous numbers, and her bottom player, An Qinru, turned her over every time.

This was simply…

It was simply… setting themselves against her!

This game was more of a test of luck, the other side was also doing it stealthily, and Chi Zhengzheng herself only found out she was being targeted after drinking four cups in a row.

And this time, she had just drunk a bottle, but she was already drunk.

– It wasn't that the original owner had the capacity for liquor, she wouldn't get drunk after thousands of cups. Her alcohol intake was still only as high as in her previous life.

Her eyes were somewhat blurry, her face was also a little flushed, she shook her head and said, "I'll stop playing, I'm dizzy, you guys are targetting me…"

There was little strength left when she said the words, and only the people sitting next to her heard them.

An Qinru could drink very well, Chi Zhengzheng drank four cups, she also drank three cups.

But at this moment she was still very sober, her voice tinged with laughter: "Sister Zhengzheng, you drink so well, how could you get drunk with this much wine? Don't you want to play with us?"

"Yes, Miss Chi, we all know that you are a good drinker. Don't give in so early."

"Come again, come again."

"Hahaha, I won't go for you this time, I'll go for someone else."
