Chapter 702 Too drunk, go home (1/2)
As the night carried on, so did the color of the sky. The time was nearing midnight and other food stalls had already left for the night, but Yue Ling and her subordinates continued to enjoy their time in front of Uncle Nuo's food stall.
Heartfelt laughter echoed into the night sky as each person drank to celebrate the memorable night and catch up with personal life.
Yue Ling had a little too much to drink, but she was one who always knew when to stop herself from drinking too much. She would smile and laugh with everyone but did not forget to keep watch over everyone.
Sitting to her left, Uncle Nuo was as red as a baboon's bottom. However, with his old age, he could out drink all the young adults that were trying to get him drunk.
He remembers something and turns his head to look at Yue Ling. He was hesitant at first but decides to tell her.
”Young Miss, the other day I ran into Qin—”
*Crash—
Before he could say any more words, a young man falls flat on the ground. He had wanted to get more food but in a drunken state, he ended up tripping on his own feet.
Everyone turned to look at the man and another wave of laughter sounds into the sky. However, some didn't forget to go over and help him up to see if he was injured or not.
”Uh… Boss, he's completely out of it. I'll take him now.”
Another man spoke in a chuckle as he held the drunk man up.
Yue Ling smiles a nod in approval and watched as the two men leave in the direction of their parked cars. Once they were no longer in view, she looks back at Uncle Nuo.
”What was it that you were saying?”
Uncle Nuo opened his mouth to speak, but his eyes subconsciously glance at Liu Shan who was sitting across from him.
It was like the assistant knew what he was going to say and secretly shook his head.
Uncle Nuo sighs inside before looking at Yue Ling with a smile. He waves one hand in front of her and decides not to say what he wanted.
”It's nothing. This old me just wanted to congratulate you.”
Yue Ling stares at Uncle Nuo for a long second. She wasn't able to hear him clearly the first time, so not thinking much, she smiles thankfully at him before turning to look at the others.
A few were drunk and could barely stand while some were immersed in their own conversations.
She wanted to stay as it has been a while but knowing that it was already late into the night, it was best to have everyone leave home. Uncle Nuo also needed to go home but was probably waiting for them to leave so he could close his food stall.
”Uncle Nuo, I truly apologize for the trouble tonight. It's getting late, we will leave after helping you close up.”
Her words fell and like a group of zombies being controlled, everyone stood up from their seat to help clean. Even those who could barely open their eyes suddenly turned normal and began perfectly clearing the tables.
Their movements were once again natural like they had done this too many times.
Uncle Nuo wanted to tell Yue Ling and everyone that it was alright, but seeing that everyone had already started cleaning up, he could only sigh inside.
Even if he wanted to decline the generous help, knowing Yue Ling, she is quite stubborn when she drinks and will not take no for an answer.
*Crash—
Just as two tables had been cleared of any food and drinks, the sound of metal rattling sounds from the table at the end.
Tang Zhonghui, who had cleared off the second table to end frowns at the noise. He turns his head to the source and chuckles at the person.
”Ya, if you're too drunk, go home.”
