Chapter 26 - bars
Liang Jia stood up, picked up the bottle of red wine, and sat blankly on the sofa. Suddenly, the phone beside her vibrated. She snapped out of her daze and saw that it was Liang Wenrui again.
Liang Jia adjusted her breathing and said, ”Mom!”
”Don't say anything,” Liang Wenrui said sternly. ”Now, go and find Xing Chen.”
”But I don't know where he is,” Liang Jia said. In truth, hearing such an order gave her a headache. Zhou Xing Chen had always been Zhou Xing Chen, and he had always been the one to throw a tantrum for no reason. Why would he want her to look for him!?
”Are you going?” Liang Wenrui said coldly.
Liang Jia rubbed her forehead. ”I'm going out now.”
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Liang Wenrui immediately hung up the phone.
Liang Jia went upstairs and changed into a khaki windbreaker. She put on her boots and a beret, slightly stroking her long hair, then picked up her bag and left the room.
In the bar.
The lights hurt the eyes, the music was loud, and the men and women on the dance floor writhed like hungry snakes.
Zhou Xing Chen sat at the bar, pouring himself a cup of wine. He didn't know why he was in such a bad mood. He wanted to get drunk, but his mind was very clear. He couldn't get rid of Liang Jia's face …
Jin Xuan was the owner of this bar. Seeing Zhou Xing Chen drink as if his life depended on it, he naturally gave Liang Jia a call.
”Hello, Liang Jia.” His tone was a little anxious. While glancing at the slightly tipsy young master Zhou, he covered the microphone and spoke to Liang Jia, ”Beauty bar, hurry up and bring your husband back. If he continues to drink, someone's life will be lost.”
The bar was too noisy. He hurriedly instructed Liang Jia, but she didn't hear a response from him. He held Zhou Xing Chen's hand, his brow furrowed as he advised, ”What big deal is it that you have to ruin your own body?” Say it, this bro will back you up. ”
These words sounded crazy, but it actually had the effect of making a clown out of a clown's mouth. Sure enough, Zhou Xing Chen sneered coldly as he issued an invitation, ”You're drinking with me?”
”Sure,” thought Jin, so that he could drink a little less. As he poured the wine, he teased, ”But what he drank was your young master Zhou's wine. If there isn't enough later, we can continue to take care of our brother's business.”
Zhou Xing Chen collapsed onto the ground.
Jin Xuan was about to follow his when his eyes flashed and he saw Xia Qin'er seating herself in front of him.
She placed her hand on Zhou Xing Chen's shoulder, leaning forward as if she wanted to hang onto him.
Zhou Xing Chen placed his hand on her waist and asked, ”What brings you here?”
Xia Qin'er turned her head to the table in the corner, smiling sweetly as she nodded at the crowd. ”My sister said she saw you getting drunk here, so I came over to take a look.”
Zhou Xing Chen was about to raise his cup again when Xia Qin'er pushed him down. Just as he was about to explode in anger, he saw Xia Qin'er gulp it down.
Then, Xia Ying'er straddled over to Zhou Xing Chen's lap, held his face in her hands, and kissed him. She then passed the alcohol to him through her lips.
This scene just happened to be seen by Liang Jia who had just turned the corner.
Jin Xuan was secretly speechless. He ridiculed, ”Shura Field.” Then he took his own wine and sat at the bar with his legs crossed, watching the good show.
Seeing such an ambiguous and lecherous action, Liang Jia couldn't help but be shocked, feeling flustered, and sad. However, she maintained her composure as she approached them. She softly called out to him, ”Zhou Xingchen.”
Zhou Xing Chen's back was facing Liang Jia, so he didn't see or hear her. On the contrary, when Xia Qin'er saw Liang Jia, she smiled triumphantly and gave her another mouthful of wine.
