Chapter 159 Who Is Wiser
The gla.s.s is broken into pieces around Xia Ning’s feet.
Looking at the gla.s.s pieces and c.o.c.ktail on the ground, as if her heart is cut by a knife, Xia Ning feels so painful that she can hardly breathe. Is this meaning the miserable ending for her?
Hearing the sound, a waiter in the bar comes over. Xia Ning apologizes embarra.s.sedly. The waiter soon cleans up the pieces.
“Excuse me, please give me another dozen of “Pa.s.sionate Love”.
Xia Ning says, when there is another voice saying: “The same for me. Please.”
Xia Ning is shocked. She turns to look and sees Gu Luan and An Zeyou standing behind.
At the moment, Xia Ning is seized by the thought: Unpleasure is inevitable.
An Zeyou and Gu Luan take their seats directly by Xia Ning. An Zeyou is always talkative. He speaks first, “Mrs. Yi, you are really good at driving. Does Brother Yi know that?”
“Ahem!” Xia Ning puts down the gla.s.s in her hand helplessly.
Gu Luan takes out a cigarette and lights it to smoke. He bends his bright eyes which gleam wickedly.
Soon, their wine is served. An Zeyou takes several shots at once. He drinks and says: “Mrs. Yi, how do you know that I like to drink Pa.s.sionate Love? This wine is a mixture of purity and fierceness, just as the girls I like, who can be strong but also soft. They are fierce when it is time to be fierce, while they are soft when it is time to be soft.”
Xia Ning is embarra.s.sed, saying: “The music is good here so I sat down to listen to the music. Then, I found that there were many c.o.c.ktails here and tried some. As to what kind of wine you Famous Star Mr. An like, I really have no idea. It is just a coincidence.”
An Zeyou is going to respond, when Gu Luan laughs. He is sitting by An Zeyou.
“Mr. Gu, what are you laughing for? You sit there and speak no words. Are you playing deep and high? Let me tell you, your pattern doesn’t work in front of me!” Saying this, An Zeyou pa.s.ses a gla.s.s of wine to Gu Luan, “Come on. If you are a real man, drink this up.”
Gu Luan glances at the wine, saying: “Can drinking this kind of wine distinguish a real man? Mr. An, are you kidding?”
An Zeyou widens his eyes: “Well, then what kind of wine? I may have a try today!”
“There is something wrong with my stomach. The doctor told me not to drink recently. After I recover, I will ask Mr. An out to figure out who drinks better.”
An Zeyou has not responded, while Xia Ning speaks: “Mr. An, it is true that Director Gu doesn’t feel well in his stomach. We are here for fun. We may drink at ease. OK?”
Hearing Xia Ning’s words, An Zeyou doesn’t speak anything. He stares at Gu Luan fiercely: “Well. I will remember this. Don’t forget your words.”
Gu Luan smiles: “Only kids don’t keep their words.”
An Zeyou feels uncomfortable to hear that, but he can’t say something back. He lifts his head and drinks up the wine in one mouthful.
“Mrs. Yi, I told you before that you might call me You or Zeyou. Don’t call me Famous Star Mr. An. It is lucky that we are here. Or, if met by my fans, that will be troubles.”
What An Zeyou says is reasonable, Xia Ning nods: “OK. I will remember that.”
They three talk and laugh. Xia Ning drink quite a lot, and so does An Zeyou. Unconsciously, it is past nine in the evening. They have drunk enough. They are going home.
“Wait a minute.” Gu Luan stops An Zeyou who is going to leave, “You have drunk quite a lot.”
“Yes. So what?” An Zeyou blinks his eyes and responds in a drunken voice.
“I remember that there is a regulation telling that drunk people are not allowed to drive. Am I right?”
Hearing this, as if being shocked by a thunder, An Zeyou understands Gu Luan’s trick at once!
s.h.i.+t. The man pretended to be deep for this reason!
In an instant, An Zeyou grits his teeth: “You rat…”
“Zeyou.” Gu Luan waves his hand, “Mrs. Yi drank some wine and she surely needs someone to drive her home. I will do her this favor. Well, you may stay here for now. You can tell you a.s.sistant to pick you up. Or, you can wait for me to pick you up later.”
An Zeyou listens to Gu Luan and he is angry. However, he can’t disagree. He points at Gu Luan but can’t speak a word.
Gu Luan gently smiles and turns to Xia Ning: “Xia Ning, I will drive you home.”
Xia Ning hesitates for a while and nods.
Supported by Gu Luan, Xia Ning finds that she is drunk and she feels dizzy. She doesn’t feel anything wrong when she drank, but it takes effect now.
Xia Ning takes several steps but she loses her balance and falls onto Gu Luan.
Gu Luan’s heart tightens. He holds Xia Ning by her waist.
“Hey! Mr. Gu, what are you doing to Mrs. Yi, my sister-in-law?” An Zeyou rushes to them and yells.
Gu Luan glances at him: “She can hardly stand stably. Do you want her to walk herself?”
“Put me…down…” Xia Ning tries to get down, but she is so dizzy that she closes her eyes after she has just opened them. She leans her head on Gu Luan’s chest and can’t speak anything more.
An Zeyou looks at Xia Ning and he is worried, saying: “Mr. Gu, I warn you here. You may send her home, but you can’t do anything to her. Or, My Brother Yi and I will not let you go.
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows: “Really? Well. You may tell your a.s.sistant to pick you up.”
Gu Luan finishes his words and turns to leave.
“You!” An Zeyou is so angry that he stamps his feet. He sees Gu Luan holding Xia Ning and getting in the car. Then Gu Luan drives away. An Zeyou gives a sigh and goes back to sit down.
He himself is to be blamed for not thinking about this in advance, making he smiling tricky Gu Luan succeed with his plan.
However, Gu Luan is also funny. He comes from such a superior family, but he chooses to be a director of the weekly…Even though this weekly is world famous, compared to the Gu Family, it is…
An Zeyou curls his lips. He thinks for a while and can’t figure it out. He drinks up the wine in a mouthful and takes out his phone to dial a number: “Hey, come to pick me up.”
Soon, Gu Luan goes back to the downtown of C City. He shows his ident.i.ty at the door of the military compound. After being permitted, he sends Xia Ning home.
Gu Luan looks at Xia Ning who is sleeping on the bed. His eyes seem to be deep in thought.
Xia Ning has no family. If something happens to her, while Yi Yunrui is not with her, how can she take care of herself?
Yi Yunrui, haven’t you ever thought about that?
Gu Luan keeps the fury deep inside his eyes. After quite a while, he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He really wants to stay to take care of her, but after all, he is not Xia Ning’s family. It will hurt her reputation.
He may ask Li Baoer for help.
Thinking of this, Gu Luan takes out his phone and is going to call Li Baoer when Xia Ning’s phone rings right at the time.
