Chapter 117 The Drunkard Mu Xiaowan
This isn't a toast to her; it's clearly an attempt to get her drunk and make her a laughingstock in front of everyone!
Seeing that Mu Xiaowan did not move, An Muxue directly picked up the wine bowl and handed it to her.
"What? You look down on the toast I offered you?"
His tone was so aggressive, and he even shoved the wine glass into her hand. Wasn't that just being overbearing?
Has An Muxue taken the wrong medicine? She doesn't even care about saving face at her own wedding.
Mu Xiaowan glanced at Chu Shaoze.
Chu Shaoze's expression darkened slightly, but he did not stop it.
Or rather, he didn't dare to stop it.
He knew An Muxue well; she was very willful. If he upset her, and she started making a scene, the wedding would become a joke.
He also understood why An Muxue did this.
He bit his back teeth slightly, his expression softening, and said, "This liquor isn't very strong."
Mu Xiaowan slightly curled her lips, "Sister-in-law, this wine must be drunk in even numbers; odd numbers are considered unlucky."
Where did you find this teacup? Why aren't you using the glass wine glass next to it? In that case, let's find another one.
Seeing that Mu Xiaowan not only did not refuse, but also asked for more, An Muxue, who had originally intended to make things difficult for Mu Xiaowan, ended up making Mu Xiaowan unhappy instead.
"No need to look for another cup, this is fine. You can have another cup after you finish this one."
Mu Xiaowan thought to herself, since he wanted to make things difficult for him, he should do something in return for An Muxue's good intentions.
Mu Xiaowan turned around and took the empty teacup from the table.
"It must be an even number, and you can't get refills, otherwise it will be bad luck."
Mu Xiaowan deliberately emphasized the words "refill" in her mouth.
An Muxue could easily understand that Mu Xiaowan's refilling of the cup meant she would find another one. Hmph, so what? As long as the next one was Chu Junbai, she was willing to call off the engagement right now.
Wu Dongchen, who was standing beside him with a wine pot, quickly filled the cup.
"Sister-in-law, I come from the countryside and don't know much about etiquette, but I do know the order of seniority. Let me toast you first!"
Mu Xiaowan picked up two "bowls" of wine with both hands and handed them to An Muxue.
It's more fun to drink this wine together.
"Mu Xue will be toasting later, I'll drink for her." Chu Shaoze knew that An Mu Xue didn't want to marry him, and what if she got drunk after drinking these two glasses of wine and started making a scene?
He won't let that happen.
"Brother, don't worry, I'll toast you after I toast my wife."
They'll all interfere with her meals; none of them will escape.
"Sister-in-law, I wish you and my brother a long and happy marriage, grow old together, have a son and a daughter."
Mu Xiaowan had so many blessings to say, she wished she could say them all at once.
An Muxue was so angry with Mu Xiaowan that she really wanted to turn around and leave, but she couldn't. If she left like that, wouldn't she be doing Mu Xiaowan's wish and making everyone laugh at her behind her back?
Just now, Mu Xiaowan said she still had to toast Chu Shaoze, and she only drank two glasses of wine, while Mu Xiaowan was going to drink four. Mu Xiaowan had been pretending for so long; after these four glasses of wine, she didn't believe Mu Xiaowan's true nature wouldn't be revealed.
These days, Mu Xiaowan pretends to be virtuous and capable, keeping the whole family in her lap.
She refused to believe that Mu Xiaowan could still be so tactful after drinking alcohol.
An Muxue picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
He finished the two glasses of wine in just two gulps.
Mu Xiaowan gave him a thumbs up, "This is so generous! You can tell that your sister-in-law is a very generous person. And generous people are also straightforward. If I ever upset you in any way, I hope you will forgive me."
Mu Xiaowan saw that the wine glass that An Muxue had used was already filled, but she didn't touch it. Instead, she took the water glass that Chu Zhihui hadn't used.
"Dongchen, fill it up for me. Judging by the look of it, this cup is equivalent to two cups."
An angry glint ignited in An Muxue's eyes; Mu Xiaowan was showing her disdain.
She doesn't even look at herself.
Wu Dongchen's eyes widened in surprise, thinking to himself: Sister-in-law, this is wine, not water!
Under Wu Dongchen's worried gaze, Mu Xiaowan drank a glass of wine without leaving a drop, and even showed an expression of wanting more.
I must say, this wine is quite delicious. It's smooth on the palate and has a rich, mellow aroma on the finish.
Mu Xiaowan glanced at the wine bottle. This is the national liquor, no wonder.
Afterwards, she asked Chu Shaoqing to give her two bottles, which she then hid and drank secretly by herself.
Wu Dongchen was stunned. His sister-in-law drank such a large glass of wine without even blinking. She had an incredible capacity for alcohol!
Mu Xiaowan raised the wine glass that An Muxue had drunk from to toast Chu Shaoze.
Chu Shaoze was naturally good at drinking, and he took the drink and finished it.
They didn't leave after finishing their drinks. Once their glasses were full, An Muxue looked at Mu Xiaowan, her meaning crystal clear.
Mu Xiaowan thought to herself, she had never met anyone with a higher alcohol tolerance than her, so how could a few drinks possibly do anything to her?
It's a good way to warm up in the middle of winter.
As soon as Mu Xiaowan's hand touched the cup, a pair of large hands pressed down on hers, and Mu Xiaowan looked up.
It was Chu Junbai.
“Junbai, Xiaowan toasted us, and we drank it. This is her wine.” An Muxue was unwilling.
Chu Junbai took the cup from Mu Xiaowan's hand and looked at her, saying, "We are husband and wife."
"Our toast to you is also a way for us to offer our blessings."
Chu Junbai also finished his drink in two gulps.
Mu Xiaowan thought to herself, "If this person wants to drink, he should get it himself. Don't try to take mine."
Look at An Muxue's furious expression, which she can't even hide.
Tsk tsk tsk, this has actually made people hate him.
But Chu Junbai, who was hated by everyone, was unaware of this.
He came in from outside and saw the couple surrounding Mu Xiaowan and making things difficult for her.
This wine doesn't taste very good, but it has a strong aftereffect. You'll be drunk even if you don't pass out after just two glasses.
I suppose Mu Xiaowan has never drunk alcohol before? After these two drinks, she'd probably just collapse.
But why does she look a little unhappy?
You're upset that he stole your drink?
He's still a bit of a drunkard.
Chu Junbai found her disappointed look rather endearing, and he wanted to laugh.
When An Muxue saw that her plan had failed, and that Chu Junbai was not only protecting Mu Xiaowan in front of her, but also looking at her with such doting eyes, An Muxue was driven mad with jealousy.
Chu Junbai never even gave her a gentle look. What right does a lowly country bumpkin have?
An Muxue's fingers were practically tearing her palms apart.
Chu Shaoze held a tray in one hand and put his other arm around An Muxue's waist, gently squeezing it.
"Let's go toast our friends."
Chu Shaoze led An Muxue away, when suddenly An Muxue stumbled and, coincidentally, fell in the direction of Chu Junbai.
Mu Xiaowan watched Chu Junbai remain motionless. She was close to An Muxue, and if she were to intervene now, she could easily prevent the two from getting too close. However, the contract did not include an obligation to prevent romantic entanglements, so she quietly watched the show.
If Chu Junbai catches An Muxue, will Chu Shaoze be so angry that he beats up his brother on the spot?
She also wanted to know if Chu Junbai would accept An Muxue's offer.
In the blink of an eye, she had thought of so much.
However, Mu Xiaowan was wrong. Chu Junbai pulled up a stool, and An Muxue immediately lay down on it.
Chu Shaoze was holding a wine tray, his other hand outstretched in mid-air, clearly a step too slow.
That's it?
Mu Xiaowan looked at Chu Junbai, her lips twitching slightly.
This man is somewhat cold-blooded.
He tried to avoid her even when she threw herself into his arms.
But it's my own brother's wedding. If he takes his sister-in-law into his arms, what will people say?
“You haven’t eaten anything all morning and you’ve had two drinks. Let me help you back to your room to rest and have something to eat.” Chu Shaoze was clearly displeased. He handed the wine tray to Wu Dongchen and helped An Muxue up.
An Muxue lay on the stool for a long time without responding.
People who didn't know her thought she was drunk.
Actually, she felt ashamed.
Chu Junbai actually dodged it just like that.
She thought that being treated gently by Chu Junbai in front of Mu Xiaowan would infuriate Mu Xiaowan, but who knew she would become the clown.
