Chapter 160: Don’t Mind Me

Mrs. Hou hurriedly went forward to smooth things over. “All Cheng, your aunt’s alcohol tolerance isn’t good, so don’t drink with her. 1 lurry up and sit back down to eat more food! The dishes today were all personally made by the head chef of a five-star hotel. Go and try them!”

When Hou Cheng heard this, he could only put it down obediently. He didn’t dare to force Jian Xing’er to drink.

“It’s okay, I’ll drink with you.” Jian Xing’er raised her eyebrows slightly. “It’s such a festive day today. How can we not drink?” After saying that, Jian Xing’er raised her head and drank the entire glass of wine. Then, she drank two more glasses in a row. After three glasses of high-alcohol-content baijiu, Jian Xing’er wasn’t drunk at all.

What Hou Jun said was wrong. It wasn’t that she couldn’t hold her liquor well, but that after marrying him, she was willing to stay at home as a housewife and didn’t have many occasions to drink. Moreover, at that time, Mrs. Hou gave Jian Xing’er a thousand yuan a month for her living expenses. Occasionally, she even had to use this money to buy groceries at home, so she didn’t have the money to go out to eat and drink. Therefore, Hou Junlai thought that she couldn’t drink.

When Hou Junlai saw Jian Xing’er drink three glasses of wine so easily, he was stunned on the spot. Not only did Jian Xing’er know how to drink, but she also had a very good alcohol tolerance. Even those who drank all year round might not be able to drink three glasses of 52-percent alcohol content white wine in a row.

Hou Junlai was a little embarrassed, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. He realized that he didn’t know Jian Xing’er at all. He wanted to help her out, but he ended up putting himself in an awkward situation.

“Uncle, you’re not a good husband. You didn’t even know if Auntie can hold her liquor well. No wonder Auntie couldn’t live with you anymore!” Hou Cheng pretended to say as an offhand remark.

As soon as he said this, the crowd instantly fell silent.

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Hou Qiang quickly stopped him. “What does Jian Xing’er’s alcohol tolerance have to do with their marriage?!” Gu Yao also went forward to stop him from talking nonsense.

Only then did Hou Cheng come back to his senses and say to Hou Jun apologetically, “Uncle, I spouted nonsense. I’m sorry, I’ll punish myself with a glass of wine!”

Hou Junlai looked at him coldly but didn’t say anything. Seeing that Hou Junlai didn’t speak, Hou Cheng couldn’t help but panic. “Uncle, you’re a magnanimous person, so don’t lower yourself to my level. How about this? I’ll punish myself by drinking three cups of wine to apologize to you!”

After Hou Cheng finished speaking, he poured himself two large glasses of baijiu! Before Hou Junlai came down, Hou Cheng was already slightly drunk. If he drank these two glasses of wine again, he would definitely collapse.

“Alright, All Cheng, stop drinking. Your uncle won’t stoop to your level!” Hou Qiang hurriedly stopped Hou Cheng. “Don’t spout nonsense after you drink too much and make your uncle and aunt unhappy. Hurry up and sit back!”

Hou Qiang was worried that not only would Hou Cheng become a laughingstock in front of everyone after getting drunk, but he would also ruin their plan to get close to Jian Xing’er. Not only would they be unable to get close to Jian Xing’er, but they would also offend her. Then, all their efforts would be in vain.

Hou Qiang put on a wry smile and said to Hou Junlai, “Junlai, don’t lower yourself to Ah-Cheng’s level. This kid has been spoiled by us and only knows how to spout nonsense every day, but he doesn’t have any bad intentions. Really.”

“I won’t force anyone to drink it. Whether he wants to drink it or not is up to him.” Hou Junlai s tone was cold. Hou Cheng’s words just now had completely angered Hou Junlai, so he had to teach him a lesson.

Seeing that Hou Junlai was unwilling to let it go, Hou Qiang looked a little troubled. “Alright, Dad, stop nagging here! I can still drink! As long as Uncle can calm down, I’m willing to drink three more bottles!” Hou Cheng ignored everyone’s dissuasion and raised the wine glass again.

Hou Qiang suppressed his anger. He wished he could slap Hou Cheng to death now. Hou Cheng knew that he would lose his senses after drinking, but he still refused to listen to his advice!

Hou Qiang couldn’t do anything to him now. He could only look at the head of the Hou family, Hou Gui, in hopes that he could dissuade Hou Cheng. However, Hou Junlai’s attitude was obvious, so Hou Gui didn’t say anything else.

“Alright, Dad, stop worrying!” With that, Hou Cheng drank two glasses of wine in a row. After two glasses of wine, he couldn’t even stand steadily. If Gu Yao had not helped him up, he would have fallen to the ground.

“You drank too much. I’ll bring you home!” Gu Yao frowned and said to him.

“Get lost!” Hou Qiang waved his hand and pushed Gu Yao away. “I’m a man. I low can I get drunk after drinking so little?! I’m not drunk.. If you want to go home, go home yourself! Don’t mind me!”
