Chapter 740: Pseudo-Truth 10
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yinian casually took the two glasses of red wine from Yu Wanqing’s hand."Today is the opening day of Uncle and Third Young Master’s Cosmetic Group. I should toast to Uncle, why should I toast to you?"
She glared fiercely at Yu Wanqing, and Xia Yinian handed one of the glasses of red wine to Gu Beicheng.
"Uncle, I wish your Group prosperous and thriving!" Xia Yinian’s loud voice rang out again.
She looked at the man in front of her, her face showing no signs of unease.
Ever since arriving next to Xia Yinian, Gu Beicheng’s eyes had been fixed on the little girl.
Meeting the girl’s gaze, the chill in his body seemed to dissipate.
Gu Beicheng had just stretched out his broad palm to take the wine glass when Xia Yinian picked up her own glass and clinked it against his.
"Cheers!" She slightly tilted up the corners of her mouth and raised the glass.
"Nian Nian," Yuan Yaying, who had been silent all along, pulled her gently, "With your current condition, it’s best not to drink."
Where did this girl get her strength from? She needed support even to walk earlier, and now she dares to publicly scold Yu Wanqing.
But, Nian Nian really has courage, Yu Wanqing was obviously doing it on purpose, and now she is even dragging the Seventh Young Master over to pretend to apologize, disgusting!
However, her current condition really isn’t suitable for drinking.
"It’s okay." Xia Yinian returned a reassuring look to her and lifted the glass to her lips, drinking it all in one go.
A half glass of red wine, for Xia Yinian, was not a small amount at all.
But after drinking it, she still looked at Gu Beicheng, turned her glass upside down and gave it a shake.
"Beicheng," Yu Wanqing pouted her lips, hooking on the arm of the man next to her.
She couldn’t imagine that Beicheng, standing by her side now, Xia Yinian still dared to be so sharp-tongued.
Gu Beicheng paid no attention to her, watching the slightly mischievous girl in front of him, he lifted the wine glass and finished the red wine in one breath.
"Uncle, you really can hold your liquor!" Xia Yinian slightly pursed her lips and sat down on the sofa.
Her hand trembled as she set down the glass, nearly dropping it on the floor, yet her face was still pleased.
Yuan Yaying very well knew, this girl was actually just putting on a brave front.
She was somewhat worried, but with Seventh Young Master present, she dared not say much, only praying that Seventh Young Master and Yu Wanqing would leave soon.
She swore, this was the only time in her life she wanted the Seventh Young Master to stay away from her, really, just this once!
"Beicheng, Nian Nian misunderstood me, how could I possibly..."
Yu Wanqing clung tightly to Gu Beicheng, a mist veiling her eyes.
"Mm, I can see through such a small matter," Gu Beicheng casually put down the glass and turned to leave.
His face still wore a smile, yet it was an angry one.
Perhaps others couldn’t tell, but, with Yu Wanqing so close to him, how could she not realize?
Beicheng’s chilliness was inherent, especially intense when he was angry, and she almost couldn’t bear it.
He still believed the dead girl’s words, and Yu Wanqing was really upset.
She tried to adapt to his chill, bit her lip, and lightly nodded.
"Mm."
Watching the two people’s retreating figures, Xia Yinian collapsed onto the tabletop.
"Nian Nian, are you alright?" Yuan Yaying extended her hand, wanting to hold her.
"Don’t bother with me, just let me have some quiet," Xia Yinian murmured.
Watching Yu Wanqing constantly hanging onto Uncle, she couldn’t calm down, really couldn’t calm down, what to do?
She thought having some drinks would help, but it didn’t help at all.
Her head felt dizzy and uncomfortable!
