After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Ji Chiqian stared at the woman in front of him, stunned for a long time.

Finally, he asked again, "What did you say your name was?"

"Tina."

"That's not the name."

"You said your Chinese name, Lu Ning."

Ji Chiqian pursed his lips: "This name is awful. I suggest you change it."

"You think you can just change it like that? Why should I listen to what you say? Besides, if you think it sounds bad, then I'm even less likely to change it."

Lu Ning took another sip of her drink: "I thought there was no alcohol here. I searched for ages, only to find it was all hidden here. But how did you know I wanted to drink?"

Ji Chiqian coldly drank his wine: "You're overthinking it. I just want to drink."

"What a coincidence! I just wanted to drink too. It seems we're on the same page in some way."

Lu Ning continued drinking; perhaps only at times like this did she feel somewhat relaxed.

Neither of them spoke further, but instead drank in silence.

After Lu Ning finished her glass, she opened another bottle: "Continue."

Ji Chiqian looked at her and said, "That's enough. If you drink any more, it won't be a few drinks, it will be alcoholism."

Lu Ning dodged his hand: "Come on, alcoholism? You came here to drink just like me, and now you're trying to persuade me to drink?"

“My alcohol tolerance is better than yours. If you drink too much here, Xiaoxingyue will be sad.”

Ji Chiqian just didn't want to upset the little girl; he didn't care whether the woman lived or died.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "You're wrong, she knows."

Ji Chiqian frowned: "She knew? So you used to drink heavily in front of the children?"

"I've already said this isn't alcoholism, why are you making such a fuss?"

Lu Ning didn't want to talk to him; he was really annoying.

Ji Chiqian watched this woman's shameless drinking antics and found it quite annoying. Was this how his family and friends had seen him all these years?

He sat down directly next to Lu Ning: "Why do you drink?"

"My head hurts, drinking alcohol will help."

Lu Ning looked at him: "And what about you? Getting up in the middle of the night to drink instead of sleeping, did something sad come to mind?"

Ji Chiqian also poured himself a glass of wine: "Yes, I was thinking about some things, so I wanted to have a drink."

"Cheers then."

Ji Chiqian clinked his wine glass against Lu Ning's: "Only now do you look somewhat presentable."

"Each each other."

Lu Ning looked at the man beside her: "I heard you once had a woman you loved deeply. I never thought a man like you would be abandoned one day."

"You're mistaken. I wasn't abandoned; she just disappeared."

"Tsk tsk, her disappearance means she doesn't want to be with you anymore. Isn't that simple?"

Lu Ning smiled and continued drinking.

Ji Chiqian looked at her: "And what about you? You were dumped by a scumbag and had two children. You're much worse off than me."

“You’re right, I’ve really had a tough time. Because of that man, I was forced to leave home for so many years, so when I come back this time, I will definitely not let that man go.”

"As far as I know, didn't that man go to the US?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, my son will deal with that man, but I still have a lot to do."

"Is that man from a powerful and influential family, which is why you're so hesitant and timid?"

Lu Ning clicked her tongue: "Power and influence? Heh, what's that? I've already planned how to get revenge on that scumbag."

"Tell me your plans?"

Lu Ning turned her head and looked at that handsome face: "Why are you asking these questions? You wouldn't happen to have designs on me, would you?"

"After all, there is no family here that dares to challenge the Ji family. I'm only doing this because of your daughter. You should be grateful that although you yourself are not very good, you have given birth to a good daughter."

Lu Ning suddenly smiled: "Yes, the person who has kept me going until now is my child."

She doesn't know if she could have made it this far without her two children.

Sometimes, blood ties are truly amazing.

Ji Chiqian looked at her: "Tell me, who exactly is it?"

He has never been able to find out who that man is.

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian: "Someone you know."

"Who?"

Lu Ning turned her head and continued drinking: "But it's not the time to tell you yet."

Ji Chiqian turned his head to watch her drink, and his mood inexplicably became much calmer at that moment.

This is a feeling I've never had before.

Perhaps it's because the wine we drank today was particularly different.

The next day.

The little one started looking for her mother after waking up, but couldn't find her anywhere.

After getting up, Madam Ji looked at the little girl holding her hand and asked, "What's wrong? Did your mother say where we're going?"

The little boy shook his head.

The maid said, "Miss Lu's things are all here, it doesn't seem like she left. And I asked the guards, Miss Lu didn't leave."

"If she didn't leave, then why is she missing? Didn't anyone see where she went last night?"

Madam Ji found it a bit strange; it was impossible for a living person to disappear without a trace.

At that moment, the maid came out and said, "We found them. They're in the wine cellar."

Mrs. Ji was surprised: "Who else is still in the wine cellar?"

"The eldest young master is also in the wine cellar; the two of them are drunk."

Madam Ji was even more surprised, and she led the little girl into the cellar.

She saw the two people sitting on the ground with many empty bottles around them, and a smell of alcohol wafted from them.

Seeing this, Madam Ji sighed helplessly, "These two are really a handful. How could he let guests come to drink?"

The little boy sighed, "This has nothing to do with the uncle. My mommy just likes to drink."

Mommy is probably feeling unwell again.

Madam Ji was a little surprised. Did he like drinking as much as Ji Chiqian? That's not a good habit.

The servants came in and carried the two people out.

After hearing the news, Grandma Ji went downstairs and saw two drunk people being carried out.

Grandma Ji covered her nose: "Did they drink all the wine in the cellar?"

Madam Ji sighed: "Pretty much, they both drank quite a bit."

"Hurry up and call the family doctor over. Drinking is bad for your health. Have the kitchen prepare some hangover soup for these two."

Grandma Ji sighed helplessly, "These two are so old, yet they drink like young people."

The little boy nodded with great maturity: "Great-Grandma is right."

The two ignorant, drunk adults were taken back to their room.

Madam Ji looked at the little child and said, "Let's go have breakfast. Don't worry about them, the servants are watching over them."

The little boy nodded.

During the meal, Madam Ji looked at the little boy and asked, "You just said that your mother also drinks alcohol. Is there a reason for that?"

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Because of that man."

Mrs. Ji patted the little boy's head: "It's okay, everything will be alright in the future."

Grandma Ji looked at the little girl and said, "Do you know who that man is? Tell me and Grandma will teach him a lesson."

The adorable little one looked up: "Really?"
