Don't meet me in your next life.

Over here, Lin Lubai and Xiao Zhao had finished another dozen bottles of wine, and he ordered two more bottles from the waiter.

"Boss, you can't drink anymore, you've had too much to drink," Xiao Zhao earnestly advised Lin Lubai.

"It's okay, I can still drink. Xiao Zhao, don't you think the Lu family is going too far? Do they expect me to use women they don't want?" Lin Lubai retorted sarcastically.

“Indeed, but I don’t think Xiang Yiyi is with Lu Sichen. She’s probably your destiny,” Xiao Zhao tried to comfort it.

"You don't need to comfort me, I can handle it. What haven't I, Lin Lubai, seen? It's just a woman!" Lin Lubai said drunkenly.

"Perhaps things aren't as we think. Although there are many coincidences, we should give Madam a chance to explain, don't you think?" Xiao Zhao felt that there might still be a chance for things to turn around.

"An explanation? She hasn't called me even once, and she's been meeting with him without my knowledge."

"You know what? I saw her come out of Grandpa's study with my own eyes. She even closed the door behind her. Lu Sichen was inside. When I asked her, she explained that she went in to find a book to read. She didn't tell me that she and Lu Sichen were inside, nor did she tell me about her relationship with Lu Sichen." Lin Lubai said angrily.

"Perhaps she's afraid she won't be able to accept it if you find out?" Xiao Zhao tried to explain.

"You tell me, is it more painful to hear it from someone else, or to hear it from her? And even now, I haven't said anything, and she hasn't told me anything either. Lu Sichen should have called her by now, but she hasn't even called or given me an explanation." Lin Lubai picked up a bottle of wine and chugged it down.

Xiao Zhao didn't know how to comfort Lin Lubai. According to his investigation, Xiang Yiyi got together with Lin Lubai on the day they broke up, so it was normal to suspect Xiang Yiyi's motives.

Lu Sichen and Lin Lubai are brothers. The brothers both fell for the same woman; one dated her for a year, the other got married—it caused quite a stir. Xiao Zhao also picked up a bottle of wine and drank. He'd be upset too, wouldn't he?

"Come on, let's drink until we drop! Let's have a good time today!" Lin Lubai said to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao didn't stop Lin Lubai from drinking. He had never seen him like this before. Perhaps letting loose and indulging himself was what made him a real, flesh-and-blood person.

The two drank a few more bottles when Lin Lubai's phone rang, and he answered it without thinking.

"Lin Lubai, where are you? I want to see you, I have something to tell you." After thinking for a while, Xiang Yi decided to call Lin Lubai.

"I'm drinking at a bar," Lin Lubai replied.

"Let's talk again tomorrow," Xiang Yi said, about to hang up.

However, Lin Lubai's roar came from the other end of the phone: "Xiang Yiyi, you're Lu Sichen's ex-girlfriend, why are you still trying to seduce me? Are you trying to be his advocate?"

"You woman, do you know how heartbroken I am? You love him that much? You lied to me for him!" Lin Lubai yelled into the phone.

"No, it's not what you think. Let me explain," Xiang Yi said.

However, Lin Lubai on the other end of the phone wasn't listening at all. He yelled into the phone, "Xiang Yiyi, do you think I'm that easy to fool? You should know that I, Lin Lubai, am not stupid."

"I didn't lie to you. We just broke up that day, and I told you that too," Xiang Yiyi tried to explain.

“Xiang Yiyi, I’ve never lacked women. If you still love him so much, I can grant you your wish,” Lin Lubai shouted.

"Madam, don't listen to our CEO Lin's nonsense, he's drunk," Xiao Zhao said loudly into the phone.

It is said that people speak the truth when they are drunk. Lin Lubai's words made Xiang Yi's heart skip a beat. Did he really think that way?

"Xiang Yiyi, you're a bad woman! Why didn't you tell me you were Lu Sichen's ex-girlfriend?" Lin Lubai shouted into the phone.

"To please us? You bad woman?" Xiang Yi hung up the phone sadly, and that was actually what he was thinking.

"Why did I fall in love with you? Tell me, why? Why am I so sad? Why?" Lin Lubai shouted into the phone.

"Mr. Lin, the call has already ended," Xiao Zhao reminded him.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yi's tears fell involuntarily. What should she do? Lin Lubai misunderstood her, and now they were married and had consummated their marriage. What should she do? Did they really have to go down the road to divorce?

Xiang Yi didn't fall asleep until dawn that night.

Meanwhile, Lin Lubai grabbed the bottle and continued drinking.

The next day at noon, Lin Lubai opened his eyes with a splitting headache. This was the first time in 31 years that he had gotten completely drunk.

Lin Lubai picked up his phone and called Xiao Zhao: "Xiao Zhao, make the arrangements. We're leaving for Jizhou later. Oh, and have the hotel send me a bowl of porridge?"

"Okay, I'll arrange it and send it over to you later."

Thinking about what happened last night still made Xiao Zhao's scalp tingle. He hoped that President Lin would remember it on his own later and not make things difficult for him.

An hour later, Xiao Zhao knocked on General Manager Lin's door.

"Mr. Lin, I've brought you the porridge. We can leave for Jizhou anytime; the driver will be at the hotel soon."

"Okay, I want to know what I did last night and how I got back," Lin Lubai said.

"Um, Mr. Lin, I was the one who brought you home last night. You invited me to a bar for drinks, and when I got there you had already finished a dozen bottles of beer," Xiao Zhao confessed honestly.

"I vaguely remember calling Yi Yi. What did I say?"

“Tell her she’s a bad woman, why she didn’t tell you her ex-boyfriend was Lu Sichen, and that you don’t lack women, and that…” Xiao Zhao said in a low voice.

"What else is there to say? Speak up!" Lin Lubai urged Xiao Zhao.

"She even said that if she loves Lu Sichen so much, you can let them be together." Xiao Zhao held back for a moment, then quickly finished speaking in one breath.

"Did I really say that?" Lin Lubai asked in disbelief.

Xiao Zhao nodded.

"Damn it, why didn't you stop me!" Lin Lubai said.

"I tried to stop you, but you wouldn't let me. I did tell your wife you were drunk, but I don't know if she heard me," Xiao Zhao said, recounting the situation.

Lin Lu's hair is getting white; this is probably going to be troublesome.

He wanted to call her, but then he thought that Xiang Yi was probably still angry, so he decided to call her later.

“I’m going to Jizhou for a few days. Let’s talk when I get back.” Lin Lubai couldn’t help but send a message to Xiang Yiyi.

After thinking for a moment, he added a sentence to the end of the message: "I drank too much last night."

Xiang Yi didn't see the message; she was fast asleep.

He was somewhat disappointed when he didn't receive a reply from Xiang Yi, wondering if she truly didn't love him or was simply angry.

Seeing Lin Lubai staring blankly at the phone, Xiao Zhao reminded him, "Mr. Lin, why don't we make a call and see?"

"Let's go, let's head to Jizhou." Lin Lubai didn't reply.

He felt embarrassed. It was clearly Xiang Yiyi's fault, but it seemed like he was the one who had done something wrong. He was waiting for Xiang Yiyi to explain to him.

Lin Lubai and Xiao Zhao went to Jizhou.
