Bab 75: Chapter 75: Moved
Lin Xuan downed the drink in one gulp without changing his expression, then turned his glass toward Chen Wei, indicating that he had finished.
Chen Wei was somewhat suspicious. This glass contained two liang of liquor, Maotai, with a proof of fifty-two.
Even with a good tolerance, it was impossible to down two liang of Maotai in one gulp, was it?
Moreover, Lin Xuan was the groom today. With dozens of tables in the banquet hall, Lin Xuan had already toasted at least twenty or thirty tables in the front, and there were still forty or fifty tables to go. Even if he only took one sip per table, Lin Xuan would still collapse. Not only was he being reckless, but he also came here to show off with Chen Wei. Why would he down two liang in one gulp? Did he even want to make it to the bridal chamber?
No matter how Chen Wei looked at it, Lin Xuan wasn't the type to act impulsively. A thought crossed Chen Wei's mind, and he immediately leaned over to smell Lin Xuan's glass...
Damn it, it was indeed water!!!
Lin Xuan never expected Chen Wei to make such a move!
Who would go over to smell someone else's drink?
Setting aside whether this action was impolite or not, wasn't it... disgusting?
Not only Lin Xuan, but everyone around was dumbfounded!
They all stared blankly at Chen Wei, their faces frozen.
Ignoring the reactions, Chen Wei didn't delay any longer and immediately activated his skill, rewinding time back thirty seconds.
Lin Xuan was holding his glass and saying, "Come on, Chen Wei, let's have a toast!"
Just as he was about to drink, Chen Wei stopped him.
Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned.
Without saying a word, Chen Wei took Lin Xuan's glass... of water, poured it into his own glass, then poured the white wine from his own glass into Lin Xuan's, and handed it back to Lin Xuan. He then raised the glass of water, chuckled, and said, "Today is your and Liu Jia's big day, so I'll share in your joy. I'll drink this glass, and you drink yours. Is that all right?"
Lin Xuan didn't know what to say.
"Come on, let's get along well. Let's drink this glass and wish you a happy and blissful marriage!"
Chen Wei said, then promptly finished the glass of water.
"Well done! Chen Wei, you've been hiding your skills! We must have a good drink later!" Yue Jiawen patted Chen Wei on the shoulder and exclaimed.
"You're too polite! With such a good tolerance, you actually sat with the girls as if you were looking down on us? You'll have to drink three more later!" Dong Yuhua said.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect it. Chen Wei, your tolerance is so good!" Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Wei didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan's expression had turned a bit unpleasant.
He had originally wanted to use this opportunity to make things difficult for Chen Wei, but he didn't expect Chen Wei to be so shameless as to exchange drinks with him!
Did he already know that his drink was water?
Impossible, right?
Lin Xuan was still suspicious, but Jiang Chen urged, "Come on, Lin Xuan, you should drink! Chen Wei has already finished his!"
Liu Jia, who knew that Lin Xuan's glass contained water but was now switched to white wine by Chen Wei, knew that if Lin Xuan drank it all at once, he would definitely get drunk!
She pulled Lin Xuan's clothes under the table, signaling him not to act rashly, and gave Jiang Chen a meaningful look, indicating her to not make a fuss.
But Jiang Chen didn't know the ins and outs of the situation and thought that Liu Jia was concerned about her husband. She ignored her.
The other girls also joined in the teasing, "Come on, groom, if you don't drink, are you trying to shirk responsibility? We won't look up to you!"
With these girls mocking him, Lin Xuan couldn't back down. He gritted his teeth and drank the glass of white wine in one gulp!
He coughed violently a few times!
"Oh, you're really something! When you're asked to drink, you do it! You're so sincere!" Liu Jia complained, then glared at Chen Wei and quickly handed Lin Xuan a glass of water.
Lin Xuan took a sip of water and felt better.
He looked at Chen Wei and forced a smile, saying, "Very well, I've made a friend in you. We must have a good chat sometime!"
After speaking, he said a few words of apology to the others for not being attentive enough, then turned and left.
Luo Chen also gave Chen Wei a meaningful look and followed suit.
Wang Li blinked at Chen Wei twice, smiled mischievously, and left with her. Tan Rui also glanced at Chen Wei, her face showing a hint of shyness, then turned and left.
Last night, Pan Jing couldn't wait to tell Tan Rui about Chen Wei, saying that he earned over 1.47 million yuan in a month and urged Tan Rui to seize the opportunity and get him!
Tan Rui was stunned at the time. She didn't even know who Chen Wei was...
Even when Pan Jing told her that Chen Wei was a colleague from the same department, Tan Rui didn't recall him at all.
It wasn't until Tan Rui arrived at Liu Jia's house this morning and privately asked Wang Li that she learned there was indeed a Chen Wei!
Tan Rui didn't mention Chen Wei's earnings, only that he was a colleague of her friend's husband. Wang Li didn't think much of it either and simply told Tan Rui a bit about Chen Wei.
Tan Rui remembered this, and now that she had seen Chen Wei, she carefully observed him. She found that while Chen Wei wasn't particularly handsome, he exuded a dignified aura, dressed modestly, and spoke very appropriately.
Of course, the key was that he earned 1.47 million in a month!
Tan Rui was moved...
As Lin Xuan left, Yue Jiawen came over with a glass.
"Not bad, Lao Chen, I never knew you had such a tolerance! Two liang of white wine, and you didn't even change your expression! Come on, let's have a good drink today, just the two of us!" Yue Jiawen said, about to pour a drink for Chen Wei.
"No, no, no, I really can't handle it."
Chen Wei hastily declined, then leaned over to Yue Jiawen's ear and whispered, "That glass just now was actually water!"
"Oh?"
Yue Jiawen was taken aback, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Chen Wei nodded.
Yue Jiawen was about to say something, but Chen Wei quickly stopped him and whispered, "Let it go, don't make a fuss."
Yue Jiawen understood and nodded silently, but he still muttered resentfully in a low voice, "This Lin Xuan is really shameless, isn't he? Offering water instead of alcohol. Did you offend him?"
"I guess he couldn't stand seeing me sitting with the girls, so he decided to embarrass me a bit. It's not a big deal," Chen Wei replied, not telling Yue Jiawen the whole truth. Some things he preferred to keep to himself, without involving Yue Jiawen.
Moreover, he didn't think it was such a big deal.
"Even so, it's unacceptable. Who offers water instead of alcohol? And he said it with such arrogance! His character is really questionable," Yue Jiawen shook his head, looking disgusted.
Chen Wei just smiled and didn't say anything.
Dong Yuhua also came over, clamoring for Chen Wei to punish himself with three cups.
Without saying a word, Chen Wei just left quietly.
Coming out of the bathroom, Chen Wei didn't return to the wedding hall, just sat down on the sofa outside.
Bored, he took out his phone and started scrolling through it.
Just then, Tan Rui came over.
