Chapter 417: You Secretly Belong to the Opposing Side, Right?
“Pshh...” Mu Xichen sneered. Straightening his back, he said, “Are you that confident that you will win?”
Mu Donglin also straightened his back. As he loosened up his tie, he said, “You won’t know until you try. It’s been three years already. I want to see how much you have deteriorated.”
“Glad you know that it has been three years! Don’t you see how unreasonable it is!” Gu Mingye retorted. “Chief has been so busy these few years. He doesn’t have the time to build up his alcohol tolerance. This is an unfair match!”
Removing his jacket, Mu Donglin said while giving him a side glance, “If you lack the courage, you can surrender now.”
“Ah Ye,” Mu Xicheng said while fixing his sight on Mu Dongling. “What kind of request do you think I should ask?”
Hearing this, Mu Donglin sneered. “Clearly overestimating yourself.”
“3, 2, 1, start!” With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yeqing signaled the start of the match. Immediately, the two men started drinking.
Gu Mingye punched Jiang Yeqing and scolded. “You nosey shit-stirrer!”
Grinning, Jiang Yeqing took out a cigarette while looking at Mu Xichen and Mu Donglin. He flicked his lighter and said, “Oh, seems a fierce match.”
The cigarette was lit up, and pale smoke emerged from it, blurring the scene before them.
Jiang Yeqing asked, “Who do you think will win?”
Gu Mingye then shifted his sight to the two men downing the whiskey and replied with a straight face, “I believe Young Master Mu will win.”
Jiang Yeqing replied, “... You secretly belong to the opposing side, right?”
“Since Young Master Mu is so confident, he must have his reasons. Boss has been abstaining from alcohol. His tolerance was pretty high last time. But in the last few years, he needed to abstain from it due to his frequent injuries. So, his tolerance...”
Had certainly dropped!
Jiang Yeqing nodded as he continued smoking.
Gu Mingye took a look at the people behind Mu Donglin. Besides his special assistant, Chen Ye, there was another man he had never seen before. But somehow, that man felt familiar to him.
During this trip, Mu Donglin was having a meal with him.
He had a neat look, but his dressing was nowhere near as posh as Mu Donglin’s.
Gu Mingye nudged Jiang Yeqing and asked, “Who’s that?”
Stealing a quick look, Jiang Yeqing replied, “The new mayor, Lin Ya.”
Suddenly, the door far ahead opened. An attendant led a lady in her twenties. Her dressing was simple, just a pale yellow sleeveless dress. She was slender, had slightly permed hair, and wore a pair of sunglasses and a mask.
“She’s here.” Jiang Yeqing nudged Gu Mingye and said smugly, “Go pick her up.”
...
As Li Beinian entered, she saw everything with one glance.
The table was huge. There were a lot of cups on it, and inside the cups was alcohol.
Both Mu Donglin and Mu Xichen were downing the whiskey while Jiang Yeqing and Gu Mingye watched by the side. Behind Mu Donglin, other than special assistant Chen Ye, there was another man that she couldn’t imagine seeing here.
As Lin Ya looked at Li Beinian, his gaze lingered a bit too long.
However, maybe he didn’t recognize her as he shifted his attention elsewhere quickly.
Gu Mingye ran towards her and said, “It’s been a while, Miss Li.”
As he wasn’t trying to be inconspicuous, everyone shifted their attention to them.
Both Mu Donglin and Mu Xichen froze. Quickly, they looked at each other sullenly and said together, “You asked her to come here?”
“Why is she here?”
