A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 292 Fainting!

After one round of drinks, Ning Ze and the others immediately started the next round.It’s rare to have the chance to get someone drunk, so they can’t waste it!

Jiang Jingheng seemed to be in a good mood today, not refusing anyone who came to toast.

Mu Yan noticed that Jiang Jingheng had drunk quite a bit and quietly said, "You should drink less."

Last time, he got so drunk that it was Song Cheng’an who had to take him home.

Jiang Jingheng’s lips curved into a smile as he looked at her, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Everyone else felt like their moral integrity shattered; when did Young Master Jiang become so obedient?

Ning Ze laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry. Our Brother Jiang can hold his liquor. He’s known as the one who never gets drunk no matter how much he drinks."

Just as he finished speaking, he felt a kick to his leg.

He frowned slightly and glanced at Song Cheng’an beside him, "Brother Song, why did you kick me?"

"Did I?" Song Cheng’an looked at him with confusion.

Ning Ze couldn’t be bothered with him and said to Jiang Jingheng, "Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, let me toast to you again."

"Just one last glass." Jiang Jingheng raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

Mu Yan watched him, observing how he remained unfazed after so many glasses, realizing his alcohol tolerance was indeed impressive.

Then how did he get drunk last time?

She felt a gaze intensely focused on her.

She glanced over and smiled slightly at Xu Yachong across the table, then shifted her gaze to the lively Ning Ze and the others.

Xu Yachong raised an eyebrow, finding her unusually calm.

Suddenly, Dong Le asked Mu Yan, "Sister-in-law, how’s the situation with your unfair expulsion from school being handled?"

Immediately, everyone’s attention shifted to Mu Yan.

They had all been following the matter and, because of it, felt a greater affection for Mu Yan.

The world isn’t lacking in weak individuals, but such resilient weakness commands respect.

Mu Yan replied, "We’re still waiting for the school’s investigation results."

"I doubt the school will tell the truth," Ning Ze said. "They’ll probably look for a scapegoat."

"Having a scapegoat is good; we can trace it back to the source." Lu Hao swirled the wine in his glass, a smile on his lips. "Everyone has a weakness. They won’t be able to hide it."

"That’s right, with Brother Jiang here, we’ll definitely find the mastermind," Ning Ze said with a laugh.

At that moment, the waiter brought in some dishes, including the restaurant’s signature soup.

The dish was ordered by Dong Le, and he looked at the waiter, "I didn’t order this soup."

"I did," Lan Xi’s voice came from the door.

She entered briskly, "The weather’s strangely cold, so have some soup to warm up."

Dong Le nodded at her suggestion.

Lan Xi returned to her seat, served a bowl of soup, placed it on the lazy susan, and turned it to Mu Yan. "Sister-in-law, have some soup."

Mu Yan was surprised by Lan Xi’s smiling demeanor, wondering if her attitude changed too quickly.

She picked up the bowl and said, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome," Lan Xi replied, serving another bowl of soup to Zheng Lu Hua.

"Huahua, you have some too."

"Alright."

Seeing Lan Xi come to her senses, Lu Hao and the others sighed in relief.

This little girl had been spoiled by them, her temperament growing more unruly.

If she really angered Young Master Jiang to the point he couldn’t tolerate her, they wouldn’t be able to protect her.

The signature soup was indeed delicious, and Mu Yan finished a bowl.

Seeing that she enjoyed it, Jiang Jingheng served her another bowl.

Lan Xi watched Mu Yan’s actions across the table with cold eyes, sneering internally. See, the allergy claim was a complete lie.

After finishing the soup, Mu Yan couldn’t eat anything else and quietly sat beside Jiang Jingheng, listening to their conversation.

However, she suddenly felt dizzy, her skin became hot and itchy, and even breathing became a bit difficult.

Jiang Jingheng noticed her discomfort and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No..." Mu Yan opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed onto him.

Jiang Jingheng caught her, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Mu Yan, what’s wrong? Wake up!"
