Chapter 996
Shi Jin ran closer. Fu Xiuyuan unfolded his arms and pulled her into his embrace. He rested his chin on her shoulder and comforted her in a low voice. "I'm fine."
"Before, I was really scared." Shi Jin closed her eyes tightly, not daring to recall the scene.
"I know what I'm doing." Fu Xiuyuan patted her shoulder gently. "It's okay. It's okay."
Shi Jin clung to his waist, afraid to let go.
He Ziheng said with lingering fear, "Boss, we've checked the rest of the track. There's really nothing wrong with it. I wonder how Qiao Lian got in here. Seriously..."
Fu Xiuyuan let go of Shi Jin and said to him, "Take Qiao Lian and this child for a checkup."
"Qiao Lian!" Qiao Zhuoli snapped. "Who told you to come here?"
Qiao Lian couldn't explain it. She didn't understand the ways of the world. Seeing so many people surrounding her, she didn't know what to say.
Qiao Zhuoli rarely brought Qiao Lian out because he was afraid that she would cause trouble.
It was only because she had insisted today that he had relented and agreed. Who knew that she had almost caused such a huge mess?
Qiao Zhuoli was unusually angry. "Come back with me immediately." "My little cake..." Qiao Lian whined.
"Second Master Qiao, let Qiao Lian stay," Shi Jin said.
"Shi Jin, we can't let her stay. She'll cause trouble." Qiao Zhuoli frowned. "I'm sorry for what happened today. I'm sorry."
"I'm just glad she's fine," Shi Jin said calmly.
He Ziheng nodded. "It doesn't matter if we lose a car. It's rare for everyone to enjoy themselves."
"Alright, let's go eat." Ou Jingyuan called out to everyone.
Then he came forward and asked, "Xiuyuan, is everything okay?"
"It's okay. Let's go," Fu Xiuyuan said.
"Are you really fine?" Gu Zehan confirmed.
Previously, everyone more or less had the mentality of a family member of the bride and had a testing attitude towards Fu Xiuyuan.
Then, after this matter, they calmed down. Other than Fu Xiuyuan, who else was worthy of Shi Jin?
When they returned, everyone realized that Qiao Lian's friend was a child from a farmer's family outside. She had come over because she was playful and had hit it off with Qiao Lian.
Fortunately, the little kid was only shocked for a moment. It was nothing serious.
Qiao Lian's palm was only slightly scraped. She was not injured.
During the meal, Qiao Lian was afraid of Qiao Zhuoli. She found Shi Jin and wanted to sit beside her.
Shi Jin smiled. "Okay, come on."
"Why did you go out just now? Didn't I tell you not to go out that door?" Shi Jin asked her, speaking slowly.
"Someone said it's fun over there. They said you were over there and would give me cake..." Qiao Lian didn't finish.
Shi Jin asked in detail and roughly understood that someone had specially asked her to go to the racetrack.
They even specially borrowed Shi Jin's name.
She nodded lightly and said while Qiao Zhuoli was walking over, "Second Master Qiao, has anything happened in the Qiao family recently?"
Qiao Zhuoli was stunned for a moment before saying honestly, "There are many people in the family. It's inevitable that someone wants to snatch something from me."
"Then you have to be careful. It doesn't matter if someone fights with you. It won't be good if they target Qiao Lian."
At her words, Qiao Zhuoli immediately understood what she was referring to.
It turned out that someone had deliberately lured Qiao Lian to the racetrack. Those people's idea could not be simpler. No matter which one was injured, it would definitely cause countless waves. At that time, Qiao Zhuoli would definitely have to settle the matters here, and would not be able to manage the internal matters of the family.
When he understood, he also knew that he had wronged Qiao Lian. He felt regretful, but helpless. His sister was indeed an easy target for others to use.
"Thank you. I'll look into it later."
Qiao Zhuoli's eyes instantly turned dangerous. He already knew who would do such a thing.
"Qiao Lian needs protection," Shi Jin reminded him.
Qiao Zhuoli nodded.
Shi Jin didn't say anything else. She lowered her head to get food for Qiao Lian.
Qiao Lian was about the same age as Shi Jin, but she relied on Shi Jin like a child. She leaned against Shi Jin obediently and smiled happily.
After watching for a while, Qiao Zhuoli felt very emotional.
At the side, Xia Peifeng insisted on toasting Fu Xiuyuan. "Master Fu, I'm here to toast you on behalf of that little kid. You must drink it." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yes, yes, yes, you must." Yue Lanchen also held his wine.
Sheng Shuangnan also raised his glass. "Master Fu, I must toast you today."
Fu Xiuyuan drank with everyone who toasted him.
When the dinner finally ended, he remained sober, while the others were more or less staggering.
Shi Jin walked towards him and reached out to hold his arm. She saw a hint of drunkenness in his eyes and confirmed that he had drunk a little too much.
Yue Lanchen came over with a wine glass. Shi Jin raised her hand and knocked him on the forehead.
It didn't hurt much, so Yue Lanchen willingly accepted it. "Next time, I won't dare to force Brother-in- law to drink again. This time, while you guys are holding a wedding, let me be wild for a day, just one day."
"Okay, let's all go back to bed," said Shi.
Gu Jingyuan didn't drink much and said, "Go back with Xiuyuan. I'll stay and get someone to settle them down before leaving."
"Thank you, big brother."
"I'm afraid I won't have many chances like this in the future."
After getting into the car, Fu Xiuyuan's drunkenness was blown away by the cold wind.
He leaned against Shi Jin's shoulder and wrapped his long arms around her waist.
"Take a sip of water." Shi held a water bottle to his lips.
Fu Xiuyuan whispered, "Feed me."
His slightly drunken voice was a tone he rarely used. Instead, he sounded like a spoiled child.
Shi Jin couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't I already feed it to you?"
"Not like that."
"Like what, then?"
Fu Xiuyuan took the water bottle, tipped back his head, and drank. Then he squeezed her lips, kissed them, and transferred the water in his mouth to her.
"Like this."
Shi Jin smiled. "Am I the one drunk? Why are you feeding me water?" "1 was demonstrating."
Shi Jin could confirm that he was indeed a little drunk, but he was still able to take advantage of the alcohol at this time. It was obvious that he was not very drunk, but she drank the water anyway. She met his lips and fed him the water.
She was about to separate when Fu Xiuyuan grabbed her. What had been a sip of water turned into a lingering kiss that enveloped her in his arms, letting the light from the car window hide the spring colors in the small space.
When they returned to Orchid Pavilion, Fu Xiuyuan was really drunk.
