Chapter 6800
Self-punishment with 3 cups
As Liu Jianming spoke, he strode up to Xiao Chen, grasped Xiao Chen's hands tightly, and shook them vigorously, as if only in this way could he express his gratitude.
Then, without saying a word, he picked up the wine dispenser on the table, which gleamed under the light.
He skillfully opened the bottle and slowly poured the liquor into the decanter, filling three full glasses with strong liquor.
The liquor rippled in the glass, releasing a rich aroma.
"I, Liu Jianming, will never forget your life-saving grace!"
"I'll drink these three cups first as a sign of respect!"
With a determined look in his eyes and a bold tone, Liu Jianming finished speaking and picked up the first glass of wine without hesitation, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
The pungent liquor flowed down his throat, his throat bobbed slightly, but there was no sign of pain on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up a second glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp, his movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
After finishing his second glass, he paused briefly, took a deep breath, and then picked up his third glass and gulped it down.
After downing three glasses of strong liquor, his cheeks flushed slightly, but his eyes shone even brighter.
His generous and unrestrained spirit was on full display, and the pungent smell of alcohol instantly filled the private room, making even the air feel more intense.
"Dad! Please drink slowly!"
"The doctor said you've just recovered and your body is still in the recovery period, so you need to avoid alcohol. Drinking like this is too much for your body to handle!"
Liu Yulian was extremely anxious. She rushed to her father's side and instinctively grabbed Liu Jianming's arm with both hands, trying to stop him from continuing to drink.
Her delicate face was full of worry, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed anxiety and concern.
But Liu Jianming was filled with gratitude for Xiao Chen and didn't listen to his daughter's advice at all.
Liu Yulian reluctantly let go of his hand, but her gaze towards Xiao Chen was extremely complicated.
From childhood to adulthood, in her mind, her father was a man of high position and power, and he was always the center of attention wherever he went. People were always the ones who treated her father with utmost respect and toasts. She had never seen her father, who was of such high position and power, lower his posture so much and show such respect and gratitude to someone.
Just who is this Xiao Chen?
What unknown abilities does he possess that would make his father treat him this way?
She couldn't help but steal another glance at Xiao Chen. He was tall and handsome, with a calm demeanor and an indescribable sense of mystery.
Her gaze swept across the doorway, and she recalled the ethereal Yun Yuyan she had just seen there.
Yun Yuyan was like a snow lotus blooming on the summit of a snow-capped mountain, pure and noble, while I was like a delicate flower in a greenhouse, beautiful but lacking that extraordinary temperament.
Thinking of this, she felt a strange tightness in her chest, and an indescribable sense of loss welled up inside her.
Xiao Chen hadn't expected Liu Jianming to be so direct, so generously downing three glasses of wine in front of everyone to express his gratitude.
He paused slightly, then nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips. He casually picked up the wine glass that had just been filled in front of him, swirled it gently, as if in response to Liu Jianming's enthusiasm.
The wine in the glass shimmered with a captivating luster under the light, as if telling the story of this special meeting.
At that moment, the door to the private room was gently pushed open, making a soft and pleasant sound.
Yun Yuyan walked in with light steps, carrying a steaming plate of exquisitely presented braised sea cucumber with scallions. The sea cucumber looked enticing, the sauce was rich, and it was garnished with a few bright green scallions, making it look incredibly appetizing.
She gently placed the dish in the center of the turntable, a faint smile on her face, a smile as warm and pleasant as a spring breeze.
After placing the dishes, she sat down in the empty seat to Xiao Chen's right, quite naturally.
Her posture was elegant, with her back straight and her legs crossed, exuding grace and poise.
In this way, Xiao Chen was flanked by Liu Yulian on his left and Yun Yuyan on his right. These two women, with their distinct temperaments yet equally outstanding, subtly surrounded him in the middle.
Liu Yulian is beautiful and passionate; Yun Yuyan is aloof and gentle.
This wonderful arrangement, like a beautiful painting, inspires endless imagination and adds a unique touch to the gathering.
Liu Jianming's gaze lingered steadily on Yun Yuyan's face for a moment.
Previously, he had secretly arranged for people to thoroughly investigate Yun Yuyan's background.
The information presented was very clean, showing that she was from the Yun family of the ancient city. Although she was only from a branch of the Yun family, this girl was quite capable. At a young age, she had already shown a strong business talent and had begun to make a name for herself in the business world.
Seeing Yun Yuyan in person now, with her ethereal气质 and graceful demeanor, Liu Jianming couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of fate once again.
In his view, how fortunate this girl was to be able to stand beside a giant dragon about to soar into the abyss.
He had already witnessed Xiao Chen's potential. His unfathomable strength and the faint aura of a king he exuded meant that, given time, once he truly emerged from the abyss, he would surely create a huge upheaval in the business world.
Yun Yuyan will then be like a phoenix perched on a parasol tree branch, joining hands with Xiao Chen to create a brilliant future.
Thinking of this, Liu Jianming glanced at his daughter Liu Yulian again without making a sound.
The daughter was pouting slightly, her eyes showing a hint of dissatisfaction and stubbornness.
Liu Jianming's eyes instantly flashed with a hint of urging, as if his gaze was saying silently: Girl, you have to step up your game!
In this fiercely competitive business world and on the stage of life, you can't easily fall behind. Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan are both rare talents. You must seize the opportunity to make friends and learn from them.
He cleared his throat lightly, and his face quickly put on the friendly smile he was used to in business, a smile as warm as the spring sun, making people feel warm and comfortable.
He looked at Liu Yulian, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable air of authority, and said, "Yulian, look, Mr. Xiao and Miss Yun are about your age, in the prime of their lives, an age when they should be exchanging ideas and learning from each other more."
“When you young people get together, you have common topics to discuss and more energy and enthusiasm to explore new things.”
"It's a rare opportunity for us to sit together today, so why don't you quickly offer Mr. Xiao and Ms. Yun a toast?"
"In the future, you should ask others for advice more often. You might be able to learn a lot from them, which will be of great benefit to your own growth and development."
Liu Yulian's eyes widened instantly, her already bright eyes now seeming to spit fire.
Her inexplicable hostility towards Yun Yuyan was like a thorn stuck in her heart, causing her immense pain.
Toasting Xiao Chen is one thing, but who does Yun Yuyan even belong to? (End of Chapter)
