Chapter 677 What did you give me to drink
Andreas walked slowly towards Jiang Chengyu who was hugging Karina with steady steps and a gentle smile.
His eyes revealed sincere joy, and he looked at Jiang Chengyu and said, "Kate, we are sincerely happy for you to see you stand up again with full energy.
When we learned you were in a deep sleep, everyone was worried about you. My father was deeply saddened by this. After returning home, he would spend hours every day looking at the Chinese chess set you gave him.
Jiang Chengyu gently let go of Karina, with a warm smile on his face. He took the initiative to hug Andreas and apologized sincerely:
"I'm sorry! I'll find a chance to visit Mr. Cedric. Is he still in good health?"
"Yes, Kate, Dad misses you very much, and he also misses those two years very much."
Jiang Chengyu agreed: "Tonight, let's go to the Yuexingchen Entertainment City and have a few drinks. It is one of the largest entertainment cities under the Zidong International Group.
Haha…I really miss the bar you took me to when we first met! "
Andreas readily agreed, patted Jiang Chengyu on the back, recalled the past, and said with emotion: "Okay,
It’s been years since we’ve had a good drink together! I really miss that parting party; those wonderful times seem like just yesterday.”
At this time, Mu Xiaoji seemed to have completely ignored his father Song Shijie. His mind and eyes were full of Jiang Chengyu. He stared straight at Jiang Chengyu and walked over involuntarily.
When he got closer, he raised his head slightly, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and said softly: "Little Monster..."
I originally thought that my beloved little monster would hug me tightly and give me a warm and supportive embrace like before. But I didn't expect that reality was cruel.
Jiang Chengyu heard this familiar name and reluctantly separated from Andreas. In an instant, he seemed to have changed into a different person, with his hands casually placed in his trouser pockets, his face looking into the distance.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a rogue smile, and with a hint of ridicule and indifference in his tone, he said: "Master Chenxi, let me introduce myself. My surname is Jiang and my name is Cheng Yu. Understand?"
Mu Xiaoji felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head after hearing this, and stammered, "I...I..."
Jiang Chengyu continued to taunt him, "Huh? You're so lucky! Such a huge fire almost burned down the entire yard, and you managed to come back alive and unscathed, huh?"
As Jiang Chengyu spoke, his mind uncontrollably repeated the scenes he had experienced in Mu Xiaoji's sea of consciousness:
At that time, he held a torch and set fire to the small bamboo house that carried countless beautiful memories without hesitation. The flames spread quickly and swallowed the bamboo house.
Mu Xiaoji, failing to snatch the torch, laughed crazily, muttering to himself:
"Hahaha... So when a person is dying, what they want to hold on to most is not their life, but the warmth they can never touch again."
Walking into the main house step by step, he shouted with all his strength: "I'm sorry... Jiang Chengyu, this life is my fault, I can't make up for it. I'm sorry!"
Immediately afterwards, the main beam of the house could not bear the weight of the fire and fell down, hitting Mu Xiaoji squarely on the head. He collapsed to the ground instantly.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chengyu's expression suddenly tensed up, and he was extremely anxious. He quickly jumped up and came to the river like a black lightning.
He quickly raised his true energy and let it circulate rapidly throughout his body. The originally calm river suddenly became calm as his body rotated.
It slowly rose and gradually gathered into a majestic water dragon, roaring towards the main house.
The surging torrent was like a sharp blade, directly extinguishing the raging fire.
However, the remains of the bamboo house could not withstand the impact of such violent water and collapsed in an instant, raising a cloud of ashes and burying Mu Xiaoji mercilessly in it.
When Mu Xiaoji heard Jiang Chengyu's unusual name, his heart ached. He bit his lips until they turned pale.
Full of confusion, he looked straight at Jiang Chengyu and asked, "Why did you burn down the little bamboo house? That's your home?"
Jiang Chengyu shrugged nonchalantly and responded in a cold tone: "If you want to burn it, just burn it. Why ask so many questions?" He never even glanced at Mu Xiaoji.
Youyou, who was standing by, was completely bewildered and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Xiaoji, Brother Chengyu, what are you talking about? What little bamboo house? What big fire? I don't understand anything."
Jiang Chengyu ignored Youyou's question, didn't even look at Mu Xiaoji, and turned around and walked past Mu Xiaoji.
He walked up to Song Shijie, restored his businesslike demeanor, and said, “Uncle Song, this document requires your signature. Please take the time to read it carefully.
I still have some important matters to prepare with the tenderer, so I'll take my leave now."
Mu Xiaoji looked at Jiang Chengyu. At this moment, his tone and attitude were as cold as when he treated himself in his sea of consciousness, as if there had never been such deep emotions between the two of them.
Mu Xiaoji opened his mouth, but no words came out. He could only stare at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure, feeling mixed emotions.
Watching Jiang Chengyu gradually disappear from his sight, a sense of loss and pain that he had never experienced before surged into his heart.
The night sky is like a huge piece of black satin, slowly spreading over the city, dotted with stars of lights, like bright gems inlaid on the satin.
In the evening, as scheduled, the security guard of Goldsmith Bay Villa skillfully drove a luxury business car, smoothly shuttling through the city streets.
Inside the car, Andreas, Karina, Kleinweiler and Youyou sat in the back seat, laughing and talking happily.
Mu Xiaoji sat quietly in the front passenger seat, his thoughts seeming to drift far away.
The car finally slowly stopped at the entrance of Yuexingchen Entertainment City. Mu Xiaoji was the first to get out of the car steadily. This was his second time here.
He still remembers the first time he came, which was a party to celebrate his graduation. The scene was still vivid in his mind, as if it happened just yesterday.
Afterwards, everyone got off the bus one after another, and everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the spectacular appearance of the entertainment city.
This entertainment city is like a shining palace. The lighting design of the facade is unique and the colorful lights are intertwined to create a dreamy and luxurious atmosphere.
Karina couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Brother, this place looks really nice." Her eyes were shining with curiosity and excitement.
Andreas raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of ridicule: "For me,
As long as there is good wine, it is the best bar! Mm-hmm." His tone was full of anticipation for the wine.
Youyou turned to look at Kelaiweiler, her eyes full of smiles, and asked, "Dear, how do you feel?"
Coleman smiled brightly and said confidently, "It looks pretty good. Let's go in and feel it out. We'll know what it's like!"
Youyou smiled like a silver bell and said crisply: "Yes, let's go!"
At this moment, Jiang Chengyu walked out of the door with a dashing stride. Seeing Ke Laiweiler, Youyou and the others, he waved enthusiastically and said, "Why are you here so late? Please come in."
Andreas walked forward quickly, put his arm around Jiang Chengyu's shoulders affectionately, and asked impatiently, "What kind of wine have you prepared tonight? Don't let me down."
Jiang Chengyu responded confidently: "We have prepared everything you like and will definitely not let you down."
Andreas patted Jiang Chengyu's shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Really? Then I will not leave until I am drunk with you."
"Of course." Jiang Chengyu responded generously. As they talked, everyone walked into the bar together.
Mu Xiaoji followed everyone silently. For some reason, a feeling of being out of place and alienated quietly came over him.
His eyes were a little wandering, looking at the lively scene around him, but he seemed to be in another world.
As soon as we entered the private room, the atmosphere inside instantly became lively. Several beautiful ladies were originally sitting lazily on the sofa.
When he saw everyone coming in, he immediately stood up with a professional and enthusiastic smile on his face.
Jiang Chengyu enthusiastically pulled Andreas along and introduced him to the beauties, saying, "You all must entertain this distinguished guest well. If you complete the task well, you will all receive a reward."
After hearing this, the beauties' eyes lit up and they happily said in unison, "Thank you, President Jiang!"
Then, they gathered around Andreas, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and began to pour wine skillfully.
Then they played fancy games of rock-paper-scissors and drinking games with great enthusiasm, and laughter rang out one after another.
Jiang Chengyu pulled Karina aside, raised his glass, smiled and said, "Come, let's toast to our reunion." Karina happily responded, and the two raised their glasses and drank together. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
At the same time, Coleman and Youyou picked up the microphone, smiled at each other, and sang a duet in tacit understanding.
The sweet singing echoed in the private room, adding a touch of romance to the night.
Mu Xiaoji sat quietly in the corner, holding a cup of tea in his hand, feeling the warmth of the hot water.
It was as if this was his only connection to the bustling world around him. Time passed by like a fleeting white horse, quietly passing by in the midst of laughter and song.
Unconsciously, Jiang Chengyu was already a little drunk. He squinted his eyes slightly, leaned on Karina's shoulder, and said drunkenly while dancing and gesticulating:
"My dear, you can drink a lot! I'm so drunk, but you seem... like nothing happened, hehe..."
He casually pointed his long fingers at Karina and muttered words of praise.
Karina looked at Jiang Chengyu's drunken state with admiration in her eyes. She grabbed Jiang Chengyu's hand and let him lie on her legs.
Jiang Chengyu raised his eyes drunkenly and looked at Karina with a dazed look. He saw Karina smiling sweetly.
She whispered softly, "Kate, you are tired! Remember when we were at Winston Manor, you never changed your expression every time you drank so much. You are still you now, how could you be drunk!"
At this moment, the lights in the private room were dim, and a beautiful woman was busy and didn't notice whether the glass in Mu Xiaoji's hand contained water or wine.
When Mu Xiaoji was staring at Jiang Chengyu blankly, his thoughts wandering somewhere unknown, she accidentally poured the wine into Mu Xiaoji's water glass.
After pouring the wine, the beauty said gently: "Sir, don't be dazed! Let's play together!" As she spoke, she did not forget to gently push the water glass in Mu Xiaoji's hand.
Mu Xiaoji was so distracted that he didn't notice this detail at all. He subconsciously picked up the water cup and took a sip. As soon as he swallowed, he immediately realized something was wrong.
He turned nervously to look at the beauty and asked anxiously, "What did you give me to drink?"
