My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 789: If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them
"All right, Manager Zhou, you can go down now!"
Shen Yubai waved his hand at the hotel manager, who was bending over, waiting on the side.
The business of Jingyu Hotel had always been good, and since I had made a last-minute arrangement, I wouldn’t blame the hotel manager for the minor oversight in his work.
"Whew... Yes, Young Master Shen!"
The hotel manager let out a sigh of relief, closed the private room door, and walked out.
"Brother Qin, I’m so sorry for this fuss! I’ll punish myself with three drinks later!"
Shen Yubai said to Qin Yu with a slight apology in his tone.
"Xiao Bai, are you punishing yourself? With the good wine from your own home, you just want to drink a few more glasses, don’t you?"
Qin Yu teased.
Although I haven’t known Shen Yubai for a long time, he was one of the few cheery and upright rich second-generation guys I had come across.
"Hahaha... Brother Qin, you’ve got quite the eye for detail! You’ve seen right through my little scheme, huh? Come on, you have three glasses, I have three glasses, now that’s fair, isn’t it?"
Shen Yubai burst into hearty laughter, his mood uplifted in the company of friends who were emotionally intelligent, intellectually sharp, and shared a similar temperament.
"I’m hungry... You guys drink, I’ll eat meat!"
Ou Changfeng, who had been with Qin Yu for a while, used to like to put on airs but had gradually become more easy-going.
"Come on, everyone take a seat. Miss Wei’er, Miss Su, don’t stand there. You ladies drink red wine, we men will drink white wine. It’s rare that we all have time to gather here today, let’s not go home until we’re drunk!"
Shen Yubai called to the two girls.
"Thank you, Young Master Shen!"
Su Banxia was slightly reserved in front of Shen Yubai.
After all, the Su Family could at most be considered a third-rate family in Capital City, while the Shen Family was truly a top-tier family there.
"What’s with this ’Young Master Shen’? Just call me Xiao Bai!"
Shen Yubai said carelessly.
"Changfeng, Wei’er, let me quickly introduce you, Miss Su, Su Banxia, is the granddaughter of the Divine Doctor Su and also my friend!"
Qin Yu introduced Su Banxia to Ou Changfeng and his sister who hadn’t seen her during their previous meeting at Dragon Gate.
"Um... Miss Su, my name is Ou Changfeng, I’m a disciple of my master!"
Ou Changfeng, holding a large lobster claw, spoke with his mouth full, his words muffled.
Qin Yu and his friends were a bunch of straightforward people, and now he too had decided to go with the flow—who cares about image anyway, when you can’t beat them, join them.
"Miss Su, my name is Qin Wei’er, Qin Yu is my brother!"
Qin Wei’er also said politely.
"It’s a pleasure to meet you all!"
Su Banxia’s eyes sparkled as she looked at this group of unpretentious and sincere people, and she felt inexplicably relaxed and comfortable.
But this relaxation and comfort were only temporary—as soon as she walked out of this private room, she would have to face again the endless pressure.
For a moment, complex emotions once again appeared in Su Banxia’s eyes.
"Come on, let’s all fill up, cheers!"
Once everyone was seated, Shen Yubai raised his glass and said.
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses together, and the atmosphere was full of mirth and merriment.
Unknowingly, the meal lasted till the evening, and the floor was littered with empty bottles.
"Ah, I can’t take it anymore, you guys keep drinking..." novelbuddy.cσ๓
Ou Changfeng collapsed onto the table.
"How about this, Brother Qin, I’ll arrange a few rooms so everyone can rest a bit!"
Seeing that everyone was inebriated, Shen Yubai thought for a moment and suggested.
"Okay!"
Qin Yu couldn’t be bothered to return to the medical hall, which was nearly demolished and in shambles everywhere.
"Then you guys rest, I’m going back!"
Su Banxia, holding her forehead, staggered to her feet.
"Miss Su, let me escort you home!"
Qin Yu didn’t try to keep Banxia from leaving, as the Su Family had a lot going on recently, and she surely had to go home at night to help handle everything.
"Thanks!"
Banxia said, biting her lip.
"Sure, I’ll be back soon!"
Qin Yu helped Banxia to her feet and they walked out of the private room. They took the elevator down to the lobby, where Banxia fumbled for her keys in her bag: "Qin Yu, you can stop here; I’ll drive myself back!"
"Can you drive in this state?"
Qin Yu was a bit concerned. Not to mention that drunk driving was illegal, but Banxia was tipsy, which was dangerous even without considering the law.
"Who do you think I am, eh? I’m the granddaughter of the Divine Doctor... Could it be that hard for me?"
Banxia’s voice carried a hint of self-mockery. The identity of the Divine Doctor’s granddaughter hadn’t brought her any halo; on the contrary, at critical moments, it became a heavy mountain, suffocating her.
Then, pinching a pill between her delicate fingers, she popped it into her mouth: "Burp... A sobering pill, I always carry it with me, worried that Jin Zhijie will force me to drink!"
"That’s good... but still, go rest in the car for a bit before driving!"
Qin Yu nodded in agreement. Banxia was quite clever, knowing how to protect herself.
"Okay..."
Banxia found her car keys and walked with Qin Yu toward the SUV parked on the roadside.
"Come sit in the car for a while!"
After opening the car door, Banxia beckoned Qin Yu. She didn’t actually want to go home and just wanted to spend more time with Qin Yu.
However, being Jin Zhijie’s fiancée, she felt too embarrassed to say it.
"Okay!"
Qin Yu also had something to ask Banxia.
They both got into the car and closed the doors, then Qin Yu finally asked: "Miss Su, there’s no one else here, can you tell me what’s actually happening with the Su Family?"
"No... nothing at all, everything is fine!"
Banxia said, her eyes flickering. Mainly because the Su Family’s crisis was too serious, and she didn’t want Qin Yu to get involved.
"Sigh, Miss Su, it seems you’ve never considered me a friend!"
Qin Yu sighed intentionally.
"I... I didn’t!"
Banxia’s eyes immediately reddened, and she bit her lip: "Let’s go to the Juma River, I used to play there when I was a child. Once we’re by the river, I’ll tell you slowly!"
"Okay!"
Qin Yu wanted to go to the riverside to catch a breeze too. In fact, he was full of worries himself, but as a man, he could only keep them to himself, carrying the burden in silence.
"Damn, why is there another man in the passenger seat?"
Just as Banxia’s Range Rover blended into the traffic, a Porsche SUV also pulled out from a parking spot.
It was Jin Zhijie. He’d been beaten up by the hotel’s security at noon and had to go to the hospital for treatment in the afternoon.
When evening came, he wanted to check if Banxia had left the hotel, but unexpectedly, he saw her driving the Range Rover toward the suburbs.
There was a faint silhouette of a man on the passenger side.
"Damn, is this woman trying to make me wear a cuckold’s hat?"
Jin Zhijie’s face darkened as he followed closely with his Porsche, not too far behind.
Deep down, he suspected that Banxia was going to the outskirts with the man in the car for a field battle.
An hour later.
Banxia’s Range Rover parked at the Juma River in the suburbs. Now that it was spring, the grass on both sides of the riverbank had begun to sprout.
The river water babbled gently and the full moon hung high in the sky, creating a picturesque scene.
"Qin Yu... we’re here..."
Seeing that Qin Yu had actually fallen asleep, Banxia leaned over to unbuckle his seat belt.
However, from outside the car, it looked as if Banxia was performing a certain service for Qin Yu.
"Damn..."
Jin Zhijie was immediately consumed by rage, feeling as if he were about to explode; he hadn’t even enjoyed such service himself.
In a fit of fury, he floored the accelerator, and the Porsche SUV charged toward the Range Rover!
