Sober Tonight [Rebirth]

"Don't worry, Dad is only concerned about it, but luckily he has been busy recently, so I haven't had time to blame you. I'll explain to him when I get back. He also understands Mo Xiao, so he should be fine." Li Yuan thought for a while and frowned.

Lu Zijin glanced at him, with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you."

Li Yuan shook his head: "Thank you, the complicated family situation has made things difficult for you. But Zijin, I also want to remind you that the conflict between Mo Xiao and Grandpa has lasted for more than ten years, and the grievances have been deep. Dad and I don't know How many times have I been persuaded, I thought she was still young and would be sensible when she grows up, but the more sensible she is, the more she resents that matter. So don't go against her wishes, and if you want to contact grandpa, don't let her know. If you If you need help, just call me, understand?"

Every word and every sentence comes from the heart, and it sounds like they are thinking about Lu Zijin, it is really hard not to be moved.

Lu Zijin did indeed behave like this, "I see, thank you for telling me this. Saying thank you seems a bit too light, I don't know how to thank you."

Li Yuan laughed: "I said before, aside from Mo Xiao's relationship, I regard you as a partner and as a friend, and it's nothing to be busy between friends." As he said something, he frowned and asked Lu Zijin: "I just heard what my grandfather said. I think he meant that Lu Xue did not make the plan. Tell me, did Lu Xue take your plan?"

After talking about it, he came closer and lowered his voice, with a little anger in his tone, as if he was apologizing for her.

Lu Zijin distanced herself calmly, and shook her head: "It's not what you think, I've already explained it clearly to my grandfather. It wasn't Lu Xue who took my plan, it should belong to her, so you don't have to complain for me."

Although Lu Zijin didn't intend to tell him the truth, but these words were obviously not as rusty and formulaic as before, Li Yuan was a little satisfied, but still a little helpless said: "Okay, since you said it, I don't know. However, although your father loves you, Lu Xue and you don't deal with it, so don't always compromise. I still have something to do, and Mo Xiao is probably waiting for you, so I won't talk too much, remember not to drink too much."

This way of really treating herself as Lu Zijin's old friend made Lu Zijin feel powerless to complain.

Many of the people she met today were partners she had contacted before. Lu Zijin put on the most perfect smile and walked among the crowd to toast with them.

Although Lu Zijin is dressed a bit more formally today, it is not an evening dress that most women choose, but she has a good figure and is tall. This rose red suit not only has the capable and domineering power of a professional woman, but also embodies the charm of a mature woman Incisively and vividly, in the eyes of those men, it is even more attractive.

Especially those who are in high positions and have coveted her before have a desire to conquer.Because she and Cen Moxiao are married, they can't do anything blatantly, so they will inevitably be a little presumptuous at the reception.

When she bumped into the CEO of Yike Group, Lu Zijin's eyes narrowed slightly. She glanced around, but still didn't see Cen Moxiao, so she immediately retracted her gaze and walked towards Zhou Huaqiang.As she raised her glass, the smile on her face remained impeccable.

"Mr. Zhou, long time no see."

"It's been a long time. Ms. Lu will become a noble person when she gets married. It's rare for me to see you again. Last time I wanted to discuss cooperation with you face to face, but I refused to go to the appointment. It seems that I don't like Yike's brand. "Zhou Huaqiang smiled bluntly, looking at Lu Zijin with round eyes, with a smile hanging on his brows, as if it could fall off at any time.

He didn't manage his figure in middle age, he gained a lot of weight, his long face was round without any creases, like an inflated ball.He was not short in the first place, but he looked very strong, but now standing in front of Lu Zijin, she looked even more slender and thin.

However, Lu Zijin's momentum didn't falter. With the advantage of her high heels, she didn't need to look up to Zhou Huaqiang, and the smile on her lips was generous.

"Mr. Zhou was joking. I can't establish Yike's reputation in the industry alone. Everyone knows whether its brand is ringing or not. Aren't you trying to ruin me by saying that?"

Zhou Huaqiang's eyes were very straightforward, and he looked at it inch by inch with impunity, as if he was about to take off Lu Zijin's clothes directly.Of course, it was only for a moment, and soon he looked away, staring at Lu Zijin's face with interest: "I thought you couldn't look down on Yike now, and I invited you alone, but Miss Lu didn't come to the appointment, isn't it? Say something?"

Lu Zijin didn't intend to offend him now, she knew a little about Zhou Huaqiang, and seeing him as an old pervert, there was nothing he wouldn't take advantage of.But he is also a person who judges the situation and will never lose the big because of small things.He would not do such behaviors as delaying business for female sex.

He clearly knew that he was married to Cen Moxiao, unless she sent it up herself, otherwise he would only talk about taking advantage of him and would not do anything.In other words, he would weigh the bottom line of Cen Moxiao or the Cen family.But nasty people are pretty awesome.

Lu Zijin nodded with a smile: "There was indeed a reason for the incident, but I didn't make many excuses. I was negligent, and Zijin punished herself with a glass." After speaking, Lu Zijin drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Zhou Huaqiang's eyes were satisfied, and his teeth were bared with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, I like Miss Lu's boldness when drinking, especially strong! But one glass is enough, and red wine is too trivial for you."

After speaking, he beckoned and told the waiter to bring a bottle of wine over, and after opening the bottle, he poured half a glass for Lu Zijin.

Lu Zijin looked at the white wine in the glass, it was Bacardi rum, a very famous spirit.Half a glass of wine in this glass is enough to drink a good drinker to the top.

Lu Zijin took the cup, and said in a slightly distressed way: "President Zhou, this thinks too highly of me."

Zhou Huaqiang squinted his eyes with a smile: "How come, Miss Lu is famous for her drinking capacity, of course I think highly of you, but I'm afraid that Miss Lu looks down on someone Zhou."

In the distance, Lu Xue saw Zhou Huaqiang and Lu Zijin facing each other, and her mood that had been lingering suddenly improved, she deserved it!Drink her to death!

Lu Zijin's heart was slightly cold, as for Zhou Huaqiang's character of vengeance, I'm afraid he can't be kind today. Even if he asks Li Yuan or Cen Kanghong for help, the knot is still there, and sooner or later he will suffer.

So Lu Zijin took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Huaqiang with clear eyes and said without hesitation, "There is no reason not to drink Mr. Zhou's wine. I respect Mr. Zhou."

After she finished speaking, she raised her wine glass, and Lu Zijin parted her lips and raised her head to drink the half glass of rum, lifting the glass little by little, and drank it all without stopping.

The smile on Zhou Huaqiang's face froze, he held the wine glass motionless, and the people who noticed him even took a breath.It wasn't until Lu Zijin pursed his lips, closed his eyes and wiped the wine stains on his lips, and picked up the glass to make a pouring motion, that Zhou Huaqiang finally recovered his voice.

"you……"

"Mr. Zhou, this can show...my sincerity." Lu Zijin spoke vaguely, her eyes were red.It's not good to drink this spicy liquid like this.

Before Zhou Huaqiang had time to say anything, suddenly a woman in a black dress passed through the crowd, stretched out her hand to hold Lu Zijin's hand, took her cup with a little effort, and at the same time leaned forward to stabilize Lu Zijin .

Then he reached out to take the wine from the dumbfounded waiter and poured one-third of it.

She looked at Zhou Huaqiang, and there was a faint flame beating in her light-colored eyes, but her tone was cold: "If Mr. Zhou still wants to drink, then I will help her to have a drink with Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Huaqiang's heart skipped a beat. He knew Cen Moxiao. He never expected that Cen Moxiao, who had always lived reclusively, would follow Lu Zijin to the reception.And he's not stupid, Cen Moxiao has a heart attack, that's a sick child, where can he drink.

If he forced Lu Zijin, the Li family and the Cen family would be uncomfortable at most, and they wouldn't really have trouble with him, but if he moved Cen Moxiao, it would be breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, and his face turned red from embarrassment.

He quickly waved his hands: "No, no, Miss Lu has already drunk a lot just now. She is really a hero among women. I admire her. Miss Cen is not in good health and can't drink. I know this, so I can't get angry. Today Drink to your heart's content, the next cooperation must be very pleasant. Just now Miss Lu was in a hurry to drink, waiter, please hurry up and prepare some hangover soup, so that Miss Lu will not feel uncomfortable tomorrow."

Cen Moxiao lowered his eyelids, put the wine glass back, and glanced at Zhou Huaqiang: "Mr. Zhou, don't force yourself. You should enjoy drinking to your heart's content, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable when someone interrupts you."

Zhou Huaqiang laughed and laughed: "It's not forced, it's a good drink. It's rare to meet Ms. Cen. Although you can't drink, I still offer you a drink. I will drink."

The smile on Cen Moxiao's face couldn't meet his eyes, and he stopped Zhou Huaqiang and said, "Since Mr. Zhou is so polite, then I have to show it well. Although I can't drink it, my wife has already offered Mr. Zhou such a glass of Bacardi. A big man like you can't lose to a woman in drinking. Change the cup for Zhou."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the bewildered waiter with oppressive eyes, which made him grab a cup in a panic.

Cen Moxiao took the wine without blinking, and directly poured a glass, which was more than Lu Zijin's amount.

"President Zhou, please."

According to Zhou Huaqiang's information, that Cen Moxiao is the devil of the world. He restrained himself a lot after being ill. Just now, he made things difficult for Lu Zijin, and made a woman drink so much alcohol at the beginning of the banquet.Cen Moxiao probably got angry in his heart and refused to let it go.With Cen Kanghong and the others, they could get along with each other, but in front of Cen Moxiao, he didn't dare.

Cen Moxiao's eyes did not back down, and the air pressure on his face made it difficult for Zhou Huaqiang to resist.When this incident broke out, he was the one who was ashamed, and he was the one who offended others.Zhou Huaqiang was very annoyed, angry and ashamed but helpless, finally tasted what Lu Zijin felt just now.

He laughed along with him, gritted his teeth and took the cup, and finally closed his eyes and raised his head to drink.Only after he drank it himself did he realize how difficult it was. Zhou Huaqiang forced it down, but he couldn't stand it after half of it.

Cen Moxiao didn't continue to push him, Yike is not a small fish and shrimp, even if pushed is a trouble.She just acted as if she didn't see that he hadn't finished drinking, she nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is good at drinking, and Mo Xiao admires it. Zi Jin is too strong to drink, so I can't continue to drink with you. Please do as you please."

Zhou Huaqiang didn't want to stay and be seen by more people, so he turned around and left with a blushing face.

Only then did Cen Moxiao turn around and look at Lu Zijin, her eyes were still clear, her face was very red, her black eyebrows were furrowed, she glanced at Cen Moxiao and then lowered her head to lean against her.

In fact, Cen Moxiao was always there, and she saw Lu Zijin talking to Li Yuan just now, as well as her confrontation with Zhou Huaqiang.I thought that she knew this kind of thing well and had the means to handle it. Indeed, she could handle it too.But watching her finally raise her head and finish drinking the goblet of strong wine in one breath, she couldn't sit still.

She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she was so angry that she had a stinky expression all the way here just now, and now she was still angry looking at the uncomfortable Lu Zijin.

"This is your way to solve the problem? Just drink such a glass of white wine like this, and you won't be afraid to drink yourself to death." After all, she couldn't hold back, and when she was helping Lu Zijin, she said coldly.

Lu Zijin raised her eyes and glanced at her, then lowered her feet and staggered: "It can be solved by kneeling, it's better than nothing."

She pressed her head on Cen Moxiao's shoulder, because her breath was especially hot after drinking, with a strong smell of alcohol, which made Cen Moxiao frown.

Cen Moxiao saw that she was a little confused from drinking, so she told the waiter in a low voice, asking him to say hello to Li Yuan and Lu Xun, and took Lu Zijin out of the venue early.

Chen Siliang was originally called out by Cen Moxiao at the banquet, and drove them back.

Cen Moxiao didn't like the smell of alcohol, so after throwing Lu Zijin into the car, she rolled down the window to ventilate.On a night in October, the evening wind is very cold.After blowing for a while, Lu Zijin felt her cheeks were icy cold. She opened her eyes and looked at Cen Moxiao, then struggled to sit up and leaned over.

Cen Moxiao looked at the person approaching with disgust, reached out and pressed her shoulder to push her away.

"Stay away from me, it smells bad."

Lu Zijin froze immediately, and then she muttered: "It's too cold, it's too cold, where did you throw me?"

Cen Moxiao remained expressionless and didn't look sideways. She endured and endured and finally reached out to touch Lu Zijin's face. It was soft but cold, and she rubbed her hand on it as if disgusted before she took it back.

Then she rolled up the car window without saying a word, and added again: "If you are afraid of the cold, stay away from me, or I will open the window."

Lu Zijin shrank slowly to the left. She was already thin, but she shrank only a little, which was far away from her.

Chen Siliang was driving the car with a serious face, but he wanted to laugh in his heart. He had never seen Cen Moxiao like this before.

And Lu Zijin, who was huddled in the corner, rubbed her sore face and slandered Cen Moxiao in her heart. She really didn't know it at ordinary times, but only when she pretended to be drunk did she realize that Cen Moxiao's face was so fierce.

I was worried that she would catch a cold, but she still despises me so much.Where is the smell, after drinking it for a while, it is not bad.

She drinks much better than others think. It is really uncomfortable to drink this glass of red and white, and she is dizzy, but she is not drunk to the point of confusion, and she is even very sober.

However, drinking capacity is for people to watch, and it must not be missed. This is Lu Zijin's strategy to protect herself, and on that occasion, even if the stamina is up, she will relax even if she is not drunk, so it is not suitable to keep it.

Lying in the car and getting up with Jiu Jin, he really felt sleepy, and the voices of the people around him were as cold as water in his drowsiness, and Lu Zijin could hear them very vaguely.

"Sister-in-law Liu, we'll be home soon. Make some porridge and a bowl of hangover soup."

"Well, she drank too much."

In the dimness, a cool hand came over, touched her cheek, and then gently pulled her aside before taking her back.
