Chapter 247 Don’t you know how to drink?
After a while, the group arrived at Chang Xiang Si. They saw that among the people at the table, except for Qiao Jingyu and Yang Xinxin, who were girls, the rest were men.
Yang Xinxin quickly scanned the area and finally landed on Qiao Jingyu. At the moment, Qiao Jingyu was sitting there alone quietly enjoying the food, occasionally stopping what she was doing to chat with everyone. The glass of white wine in front of her had not been touched even a drop from beginning to end.
Seeing this, a ray of dark light quietly passed through Yang Xinxin's eyes. Recalling the last time when the exam was approaching, Sun Yuan actually made a lot of noise and misbehavior in the classroom, which resulted in her image and reputation in the class being greatly damaged. She is such a fool! She can't even handle such a small matter properly. If Qiao Jingyu could be successfully kidnapped at that time, then all these subsequent troubles would naturally no longer exist. In the final analysis, the root of all this is actually all due to this hateful woman Qiao Jingyu!
What about now? He was already notorious in school, but Qiao Jingyu had transformed herself into an unattainable goddess in everyone's mind. What was even more hateful was that in the last architectural design competition, Qiao Jingyu had won the championship in one fell swoop. Now even the principal was in favor of her and looked at her with new eyes.
Why is it that she is shining while I am notorious?
Now Qiao Jingyu has even drawn the design for Director Song's villa! If this news gets to the ears of the classmates, I'm afraid they will worship Qiao Jingyu as a goddess above all else! After all, being able to get such an important task is enough to prove Qiao Jingyu's outstanding talent and extraordinary ability in the field of design.
At that time, Jiang Mubai's eyes will surely be firmly attracted by Qiao Jingyu. But Jiang Mubai is Yang Xinxin's man, and she will never allow any other woman to have the slightest improper thoughts about him. Thinking of this, Yang Xinxin's jealousy burned more and more fiercely, and her originally beautiful eyes were now filled with deep hatred.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yang Xinxin's mind like lightning - just when everyone was toasting, Qiao Jingyu used the excuse that she couldn't drink a drop of wine. Humph, since you said you can't drink, I'm going to make you drink this glass of wine today. When she is drunk and unconscious and behaves in an ugly manner, I will let everyone present see what kind of person Qiao Jingyu, who they say is talented at a young age, is.
Having made up her mind, Yang Xinxin had a sinister smile on her face. She walked towards Qiao Jingyu with a wine glass in hand and said in a tender voice, "Jingyu, come on, let's have a drink to celebrate in advance that our cooperation is going smoothly this time!"
Qiao Jingyu frowned slightly and stood up, "I don't drink."
"How can someone not be able to drink? I remember that we had a class party before, and you could drink a few glasses! We were classmates, and now we are going to work together. This kind of fate is really precious!" Yang Xinxin smiled and held Qiao Jingyu's slender arm affectionately, just like close friends. She shook Qiao Jingyu's arm coquettishly and said coquettishly: "Okay, come on!"
"Ms. Qiao, please do me the honor of having a drink!" Seeing this, the people around began to urge her to drink.
"That's right, Miss Qiao. How can you go out to a dinner party without drinking?" Another voice sounded.
Even Xiao Gang quickly agreed, "Miss Qiao, just have a drink. If you accidentally drink too much, I promise to arrange for someone to escort you home safely."
However, Qiao Jingyu was so smart that she could not see that Yang Xinxin's action was intentional. But at this moment, in front of so many people, it was difficult for her to directly expose her thoughts. Besides, everyone had already advised her in this way. If she insisted on refusing, she would probably be known as someone who was unsympathetic and ungrateful. Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu could not help but fall into a dilemma.
Qiao Jingyu bit her lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll just have one drink." Her voice was not loud, but her tone was firm.
Yang Xinxin, who was sitting next to them, heard this, smiled and nodded, saying: "Actually, my alcohol tolerance is not that good, so let's just have one glass each." As she said that, she picked up the wine glass in front of her and gestured to Qiao Jingyu.
Seeing this, Qiao Jingyu took a deep breath, slowly raised the wine glass in her hand, and gently touched it with Yang Xinxin's glass, making a crisp sound. However, when she saw the transparent liquid in the glass, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, this was her first time to touch white wine in her life.
Despite this, Qiao Jingyu still gritted her teeth, frowned, and raised her head to drink the wine in the glass. Instantly, a strong spicy feeling rushed from her mouth to her throat, as if a ball of fire burned along her esophagus all the way to her abdomen. This unprecedented stimulation made her cough violently, and tears almost burst out of her eyes.
Seeing this, Yang Xinxin immediately pretended to be very concerned. She reached out her hand and gently patted Qiao Jingyu on the back, and asked softly, "Jingyu, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Qiao Jingyu resisted the discomfort in her body, pushed Yang Xinxin's hand away without leaving a trace, and replied politely but coldly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
Yang Xinxin was slightly startled, then she stepped back a few steps as if nothing had happened, still with that seemingly friendly smile on her face. She turned to look at the man opposite and said in a tender voice: "Mr. Jiang, we will inevitably have to deal with Qiao Jingyu in the future. Don't you want to have a drink with her?"
When the man called Jiang Gong heard this, his eyes immediately fell on Qiao Jingyu, and he asked with some inquiry: "I wonder if Miss Qiao is willing to give me this face?" There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Qiao Jingyu looked a little embarrassed at the moment, and responded hesitantly: "I really... "
"Mr. Jiang, you are too polite!" Yang Xinxin said coquettishly with a bright smile on her face, and at the same time stretched out her hand to gently stop Qiao Jingyu who was about to explain, "How could Jingyu not give you face when you personally toasted her? Look, she has already drunk the glass of white wine just now, and there is nothing wrong with her!"
As she spoke, Yang Xinxin gracefully picked up a bottle of red wine on the table and slowly poured it into the glass. The red wine flowed into the transparent goblet like a thin stream.
"However, the alcohol content of the white wine just now was too high. It's indeed a bit too strong for us girls! So, it's better for us to change to red wine! Moreover, red wine has the effect of beautifying the skin. Drinking more is good for the skin!" Yang Xinxin continued with a sweet smile, and carefully handed the glass filled with red wine to Qiao Jingyu.
"Come on, Jingyu, everyone is having so much fun, don't let such a small thing spoil the fun!" Yang Xinxin took Qiao Jingyu's hand and shook it gently, her eyes full of expectation and encouragement.
At this time, Jiang Gong, who was sitting opposite, smiled slightly, picked up the glass of white wine in front of him generously, raised his head and drank it all, then pointed the empty glass at Qiao Jingyu and said loudly: "Miss Qiao, I'll drink first to show my respect! Please feel free to do as you please!"
