He Wei

President Pei, who arrived at the chamber of commerce at an auspicious time, appeared in the hall. The sixty-year-old man was still full of energy, with piercing eyes.

President Pei said a few toasts and officially announced the start of the birthday banquet. At this time, many people began to gather around Mr. Pei to celebrate his birthday. Xue Chengyu didn't want to squeeze into the crowd, so he waited for fewer people to go.

President Pei passed his birthday, Jiangnan has a head and a face, and he is famous. No matter how big the business is, people have come. During the period, many people greeted President Pei and then came to greet Xue Chengyu, all for the sake of being with the future head of the Xue family To build a good relationship, I want to find an official position in the chamber of commerce, so that I can make some money.

It's a pity that Xue Chengyu hates people who have nothing to do with the chamber of commerce to curry favor with him. In Xue Chengyu's eyes, these people are nothing more than clowns who have no real talent, no real learning, and no ambition. I don't know the intrigue and intrigue in the chamber of commerce.

In addition to having a flexible mind and knowing how to make money, business people must also truly understand the meaning of doing business. Thinking about unscrupulous businessmen who always want to make money, Xue Chengyu will definitely not let them harm the chamber of commerce.

The small merchants who came to flatter Xue Chengyu seemed to have discussed it, and they all gave Xue Chengyu more wine. Afterwards, as if they were instigated by Qiao Jian, they vowed not to let Xue Chengyu drink.

Xue Chengyu couldn't drink, which was a pain for Xu Lang. He blocked Xue Chengyu from drinking one cup after another. Xu Lang didn't hold a lot of alcohol. It was no problem to drink three or four cups, but after the fifth cup, he started to wobble.

After drinking three cups in a row, Xu Lang's stomach couldn't take it anymore, and his head began to feel dizzy. Even so, Xu Lang didn't say no to drinking, as if in Xu Lang's perception, what he drank was not wine but Xue Chengyu face.

He has lived under the protection of Xue Chengyu for the past three years, and now he finally has the opportunity to truly protect Xue Chengyu once.

Xue Chengyi couldn't stand it for a long time, and didn't care whether the next behavior would disgust Master Luo who was at the table, so he slapped the table directly, "Enough! Don't you understand my brother's words? Everyone here You all know that my brother has bad legs and can't drink, I don't care if you are doing this to embarrass my brother or the Xue family, I won't take a sip of this wine today!"

Xu Hong on the side was already so drunk that he couldn't stand still, relying on Xue Chengyu's crutches to barely support his body, and persuaded Xue Chengyi while following his breath: "Second young master...don't be like this...today President Pei will live a long life... Don't make trouble for others..."

At this time, Xue Chengyu really couldn't bear the siege of these people, stood up and helped Xu Hong to the seat, and leaned on crutches to come to Pei Sanye, took up the teacup to apologize to Pei Sanye, and said: "The age of my younger brother Shang Xiao doesn't understand etiquette, and it was really improper discipline to shout and shout at the third master's birthday banquet. I will apologize for him. The third master also knows that I drink medicine all the year round and avoid drinking alcohol. I use tea instead of wine. Please forgive me .”

Mr. Pei and Mr. Xue have a close friendship and they grew up watching Xue Chengyu. He knows Xue Chengyu's temperament and temperament, and he doesn't care about Xue Chengyu like that.

After that, Xue Chengyu turned around and bowed his hands to the guests, and said seriously: "Guests also want to take the opportunity of the third master's birthday to congratulate me on taking over the Xue family. Forgive me, everyone."

Everyone in the hall listened to Xue Chengyu's words, and it was not good to persuade them to drink, and they all returned to their seats obediently.

"Third Master, my father is unwell and needs someone to take care of him. Cheng Yi and I will take a step first." After speaking, he bowed to Third Master Pei and retreated.

When Xue Chengyu returned to the banquet table, Xu Lang's alcohol had already come up, and he lay motionless on the table.

His little face turned red because of drunkenness, and Xue Chengyu felt uncomfortable with the strong smell of alcohol in his breath, so he gave Xue Chengyi a look to signal him to help Xu Hong up.Xue Chengyu bid farewell to Jiang Qi, and the three of them slowly moved out of Pei's residence and returned home the same way.

On the way, Xu Lang felt uncomfortable in his stomach. Holding the willow tree by the roadside, he vomited twice. In the end, he almost vomited bile. The uncomfortable appearance made Xue Chengyu feel distressed.He kept patting Xu Hong's back, helping him to relax.

"Brother, why are these people like this? Brother Lang is drinking like this and still drinking. What's the point of coming to you for a drink at the third master's birthday?" Xue Chengyi asked angrily.

Xue Chengyu sighed helplessly, and explained to Xue Chengyi: "The business world is like this, intrigues and deceit, if I have a grudge against you, I must embarrass you in public. That's why I don't want to take care of the affairs of the chamber of commerce. Wrong, the consequences are not something you and I can bear at our age. Today is drinking, maybe tomorrow will be what it will be, but today it implicates Xiao Hong and suffers together."

"And Qiao Jian, no matter what the situation is, he will compete with you. I don't see that you have any trouble with him. Why does he always trouble you?"

"Who knows... Qiao Jian is a man with no ambitions, ignorant and incompetent, and has a strong desire for revenge. He may not know which way I blocked his way and is preparing to take revenge on me..."

After Xu Lang vomited, she regained a lot of consciousness. Holding on to the tree trunk, she forced herself to straighten up, tightly tugged at Xue Chengyu's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Stomach hurts... go home and talk about it..."

Xue Chengyi also felt sorry for Xu Lang's appearance, and directly carried Xu Lang on his back, comforting him: "Go home, let's go home..."

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Xue Chengyi directly carried Xu Hong back to Xue Chengyu's room, and Xue Chengyu also went to report to Master Xue about everything during the banquet.

Master Xue also sighed helplessly after hearing this. After all, the Xue family and the Qiao family are under the same roof, and they can't see each other when they look up.

It's not good if you really tear your face. If you can bear this kind of trivial matter, you can bear it, and you won't get angry about it.

After the report, Xue Chengyu immediately went back to the house to take care of Xu Lang. He didn't know what kind of wine President Pei brought out, but the wine was so strong that Xu Lang could drink it like this.

At this time, Xu Hong was in a state of drunkenness. He vomited several times on the road and his face improved a lot but his body was still red. He was curled up because of the stomach pain, and his breathing was very heavy.

Xue Chengyu asked Uncle Fu to cook some rice porridge, and eat something quickly while Xu Hong was still awake, lest his stomach hurt even more when he fell asleep.On the other hand, he helped Xu Lang take off his clothes, and wiped his body over and over again with a hot towel.

The constant heat from the towel made Xu Wei feel relaxed. He slightly opened his red eyes and looked at Xue Chengyu, and said weakly: "I'm sorry... I'm going to make the young master worry again... I also want to help the young master out of good intentions... ...and doing bad things with good intentions..."

Xue Chengyu helped Xu Lang put on new clothes, and wiped Xu Lang's face with a washed towel, "I know you are doing it for me...it's just that you have wronged yourself..."

Xu Lang wrapped herself in the quilt again and curled up into a ball, her body trembled a little due to the severe stomach pain, and her eyebrows were knit together.It looked like a wounded kitten, it was indescribably pitiful.

"To be honest, you can drink or not. They are all small people who have nothing to do with my Xue family, let alone affect the Xue family. Face and etiquette are not important. If you lose it, you lose it. Your body is the only one." It's the most important thing, what if something happens after drinking."

After hearing this, Xu Lang forced a smile, and comforted him: "I'm not wronged... I don't feel wronged when I do anything for Chengyu... I was too cowardly to protect myself, but you have always protected me... Let me live with dignity...and live happily...it's a rare opportunity to protect you once...so I have to do my best..."

"Is it worth it..." Xue Chengyu asked distressedly.

Xu Lang smiled hard at Xue Chengyu, "Everything...is worth it..." After that, the smile disappeared instantly and turned into a painful expression.

"What's the matter?" Xue Chengyu hurriedly reached into Xu Lang's hand that was caught in the quilt, resting his two fingers on his wrist, quietly feeling for the pulse.

Xu Lang's pulse was weak, and his body trembled more and more. It seemed that his stomach pain was getting worse.

Maybe this is Xu Hong's first time drinking so much wine. In previous years, Master Xue warmed up a pot of wine and poured a glass for Xue Chengyi and Xu Hong.

The two of them didn't drink too much, at most they would drink two cups with Master Xue, and it was the first time that they drank three cups and five cups in a row like today.

When Xue Chengyu couldn't come up with a good way to relieve Xu Hong's stomachache, Uncle Fu came in with hot porridge. Xue Chengyu hurriedly took the porridge, took out a spoonful, and blew it before feeding it to Xu Hong.

Xu Lang didn't want to drink it at first, but finally, under Xue Chengyu's coaxing and deception, he slowly drank a bowl of porridge.

The warm porridge relieved the stomachache, gradually Xu Hong stopped trembling, and his breathing became more stable, Xue Chengyu finally felt relieved.

Xue Chengyu asked Xu Lang to lie flat on the bed, and put a hot towel on Xu Lang's forehead for a hot compress.Xue Chengyu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xu Lang's still red face in a daze.

"Everything is worth it..." Xue Chengyu read these words silently, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help laughing. What Xu Lang said included too much, not only everything about him but also everything about himself.

It wasn't until today that Xue Chengyu could see Xu Lang clearly. For three years, Xu Lang had integrated Xue Chengyu into his flesh and blood.

If Xu Lang was afraid in such a big scene, he would shrink behind him, or stand aside restrainedly and listen to him discussing matters with others.

Today, however, Xu Lang seemed to have changed his temper. It was really rare for him to challenge Qiao Jian, whom he feared the most.

However, thinking of Qiao Jian, Xue Chengyu has always had a question, what did Qiao Jian do to Xu Hong before he came to Xue's mansion to make Xu Hong so afraid?

Qiao Jian's temper is the worst among the many rich men. Since Qiao's family started with a tailor shop, Qiao Jian is most concerned about his clothes.

Sometimes on rainy days, if a drop of raindrops gets on your clothes, you will get angry and scold the servants around you.

Qiao Jian's temperament is not like his elder brother's. He is a violent second-generation ancestor, and it is often reported that Qiao Jian beat and scolded his servants.

Xue Chengyu didn't dare to think of the worst, if Xu Lang was expelled from Qiao's mansion for soiling Qiao Jian's clothes, that's all.

But why does Qiao Jian have to hold on to Xu Lang, always trying to make Xu Lang look ugly in public?The reason is really incomprehensible.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't need to think about it anymore, Xue Chengyu saw that it was getting late, so he simply soaked his feet, got needles inserted, tidied up, and then fell asleep with Xu Hong in his arms.

As everyone knows, the days to come will be even more difficult than today.
