After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

Chapter 164 I'm late, I'll drink three cups as punishment.

Just as Jiang Yi was about to drink his third glass of wine, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Shi Lu stood there panting, his eyes fixed on the woman sitting on the sofa.

When he saw the wine glass in her hand, the color of his pupils instantly turned cold.

"You kid are finally here! What are you doing standing there? Come in!" Shen Mo shouted.

"Alu..." Jiang Yi stood up feeling somewhat guilty, her voice trembling slightly.

The man slowly approached, then sat down next to her and said briefly: "Sit down."

Jiang Yi immediately heard the dissatisfaction in his tone and she knew he was angry.

"Yaoyao and I were out for fun, but who knew we would run into Mr. Huo and his team here. We didn't drink alcohol just now, and we only started drinking after we came here," Jiang Yi explained quickly.

"How many cups is this?" Shi Lu asked expressionlessly.

"Hmm? ...Oh, you came before I even had time to drink the third cup."

"Alu, what are you two whispering about? Here, this is your wine." Shen Mo placed a bottle of white wine in front of Shi Lu.

Shi Lu didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the empty glass beside him and filled it with wine. Then he said, "Sorry, I'm late. I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment."

Jiang Yi looked at him worriedly and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

But Shi Lu just patted her hands and whispered, "It's okay."

……

The box regained its previous cheerful and joyful atmosphere, and the men continued to talk and chat freely about everything.

Luo Yao sat quietly by the side and listened to their conversation.

Jiang Yi's lively and cheerful personality allowed him to interject a few words from time to time, making the atmosphere on the scene very harmonious and cordial.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly asked curiously: "Sister-in-law Jiang Yi, which school did you graduate from?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yi's originally relaxed expression suddenly became a little nervous.

She clenched her palms tightly and her eyes began to avoid, not daring to look at other people.

She stammered and replied, "Oh, it's not a particularly famous brand university. I guess you wouldn't know it even if I told you."

After hearing this, the people around became even more curious and asked, "Oh?"

"Anyone who is valued by our CEO Huo must have a good education. It must be from a very good school!"

Faced with everyone's questioning, Jiang Yi suddenly panicked and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Luo Yao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "Yiyi and I are schoolmates. We met when we were working part-time."

"At that time, our Yiyi had a very hard time. She had to work hard to earn money and also take care of her studies. It was really not easy."

After hearing what Luo Yao said, Jiang Yi quickly raised her head and looked at Luo Yao with gratitude.

Luo Yao gave her a reassuring look, telling her not to worry.

"Sister-in-law, what school is this?"

Finally, after everyone’s repeated questioning.

Luo Yao uttered, "Westminster University."

After saying that, a man sitting in the corner lowered his eyes slightly and slowly poured a glass of wine, with an incomprehensible affection in his eyes.

Although they already knew it, there was still a hint of surprise in their eyes when they heard it.

Especially Shi Lu, he looked at the person next to him with a look full of inquiry.

"Sister-in-law, is this what you call an ordinary university?" Song Haoran asked with a flattering smile.

"Ahem...yes." Jiang Yi picked up the wine glass awkwardly and took a small sip.

"Sister-in-law, since you were admitted to such a good school, didn't your family give you some support?" Song Haoran continued to ask.

"Cough cough..." Luo Yao coughed softly.

Song Haoran suddenly realized that he had asked a question he shouldn't have asked, and quickly apologized: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I spoke too much, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

After saying that, he picked up the glass and drank it all.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yi replied calmly, and then simply explained: "I don't get along with my family."

After hearing her answer, everyone fell silent and the topic ended there.

……

It was getting late, Huo Chenqi took Luo Yao's hand and said, "We're going back first, you guys take it easy."

"Okay, let's go and meet again another day." Shen Mo waved his hand.

"Mo, we should go too. We still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow. After this period of time, I will definitely drink with you." Shi Lu also stood up and said.

"Okay, I'll let you go for my sister-in-law's sake."

"Brother Shen Mo, let's go back first. You guys should go back and rest early too."

"Goodbye, sister-in-law!"

"Bye-Bye!"

After the words fell, the two turned and left.

At this moment, only Shen Mo and four others were left in the huge box.

Shen Mo seemed to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. The mountain of empty wine bottles in front of him did not affect him at all. He still sat steadily, not even showing a trace of drunkenness.

Yan Zisheng was the first to give up. As a doctor, he knew that drinking too much was not good for the body, so he decisively chose to give up, "Brother Mo, I really can't do it anymore. I really can't drink anymore. You guys continue."

After he finished speaking, he lay on the table like a deflated ball.

"His alcohol tolerance is just so-so, let's keep drinking." Song Haoran was still in high spirits and continued to fill the glass.

……

Shen Mo silently took out his mobile phone and stayed on the chat interface with Ning Xiaonuan.

Looking at the message above, he couldn't help but sigh that time flies. It has been a whole month since the last chat, but it feels like it was a long, long time ago.

He wondered to himself: Is she asleep now? Did she think of me during this time? Or maybe she had forgotten, after all, he was an insignificant person in her heart.

My finger accidentally pressed the send button, and a lone question mark appeared in the chat box...

In an instant, Shen Mo felt a little flustered and didn't know what to do for a moment.

In a panic, he simply turned off the screen.

Then he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, as if he wanted to numb his nerves with alcohol.

Lu Zhan, who was sitting nearby, witnessed all of this. He gently touched Song Haoran's arm and said in a low voice, "That's enough."

Song Haoran nodded in understanding.

"Ahem, Mo. I can't drink anymore. Let's have some tea and chat."

After saying that, he pressed the bell and called the waiter over.

"Okay, let's all go home."

Shen Mo stood up, picked up his coat from the side, and walked out the door without looking back.

"Hey...wait for me!"

Seeing this, the other people also followed to the door.

"Let's go together?" Lu Zhan suggested.

Shen Mo turned his head and looked at him, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

"Then we'll leave now. As for Zisheng..."

"I'll carry him back later, don't worry."

Just as he finished speaking, the driver drove over and the two of them got in the car together.

With the roar of the engine, the car quickly drove away from the scene and soon disappeared into the silent night.
