42 -41: Xiao Shao, Don’t End Up Holding the Bag

Xiao Chi advanced step by step intensively, his tall figure almost looming over the woman in front of him, “Tang Xi, being my girlfriend has many perks, endless money, endless luxury goods, doesn’t that tempt you?”

“If Young Master Xiao only wishes to find an obedient pet to be his girlfriend, I believe, vivi would be more suitable.

But doesn’t Young Master Xiao dislike that too?”

Xiao Chi paused, taken aback.

Moments later, he spoke seriously, “Chen Jinyan is here too, right now on the beach.

Are you sure you don’t want to go over there?

I heard your brother is still detained at the police station, his trial is next week.

Don’t you want to know how your brother’s case is going?” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Tang Xi knew that Chen Jinyan had agreed to act as Tang Shiyue’s defense attorney entirely due to Xiao Chi’s assistance.

In the past few days, only Chen Jinyan’s assistant had contacted her once.

After all, for a renowned lawyer like Chen Jinyan, her matters might just be trivial.

Yet she was completely in the dark about the details of the whole case, her heart also fraught with anxiety.

On the beach there was a table over ten meters long, filled with a variety of meals, barbecues, exquisite desserts, and high-end beverages.

It could seat about twenty people, and at this moment, it was nearly full.

Xiao Chi and Tang Xi walked over and took their seats.

Suddenly, a woman with a sarcastic voice said, “Tang Xi, you’re really something, aren’t you?

Changing men by your side in just a few days, how did you manage to catch Young Master Xiao?

Teach us your ways.”

As soon as the woman spoke, a few of her companions broke into laughter.

Tang Xi simply lowered her gaze and quietly ate the food on her plate, treating all surrounding noises as if they were mere air.

“How could Mengshu have a sister like you, dressed so shabbily and poorly?

What brand is that on you, it’s not some cheap knock-off from a street stall…hahaha.”

Xiao Chi didn’t spare the woman any respect, finding her unbearably noisy, “Jiang Mengrou, if you can’t speak, then keep your mouth shut.

I don’t know if what she’s wearing is from a street stall, but your dress is definitely ugly, so low class.”

Jiang Mengrou’s face turned pale, but looking at Xiao Chi, she dared not retort.

They could come only because they were basking in the light of ‘Miss Su Mengshu’s younger sister’.

Otherwise, with their own family backgrounds, they wouldn’t qualify for such high-class private trips, visiting to preview the yet-to-open Fu’s tourist area, which involved billions in investment.

Su Mengshu feigned anger and scolded her companions before turning to Tang Xi with ‘concern’, “Xiao Xi, you know Mengrou and Manxue mean no harm, they were just joking with you.

Don’t take it to heart; they are my friends, and naturally, they are your friends too.”

Jiang Mengrou quickly smiled at Tang Xi, “Yeah, I was just joking earlier.

Tang Xi, you’re not really angry, are you?…

How about this, let’s all play a game together.”

She exchanged a look with Xu Manxue, who instantly agreed, “Yeah, let’s play a game.”

Su Mengshu then stood up, “Tingzhou, you’ve arrived.”

Fu Tingzhou took his seat, sitting opposite Tang Xi.

Caught off guard, she looked up and their eyes met.

The next second, a piece of braised pork rib was placed in the bowl in front of her, accompanied by Xiao Chi’s casual tone, “Try this, you look so thin, you should eat more meat, stop eating those vegetables.”

Tang Xi wondered if it was an illusion.

After Xiao Chi placed that piece of pork rib down, she felt Fu Tingzhou’s gaze on her become even colder.

This made her unintentionally tense and somewhat restless.

“Let’s draw cards.

Whoever draws the Ace of Hearts gets punished; they can choose to drink or tell a truth,” Xu Manxue spoke as she pulled out a deck of cards from her bag, distributing them one by one to everyone.

The last card was also handed to Tang Xi.

She didn’t notice Xu Manxue’s triumphant look.

“Alright, let’s reveal our cards!”

One after another, people showed their cards.

“I’ve got the Three of Hearts.”

“Boring, it’s not me.”

“Who is it?

Who has the Ace of Hearts?”

Xiao Chi flipped his card over in boredom, revealing a Six of Diamonds.

Xu Manxue called out, “Who is it?

Who hasn’t shown their card?

You can’t avoid the punishment, our main purpose for coming out is to have a fun atmosphere.”

In the end, only Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou were left holding cards.

He found no interest in this game.

The man revealed his card, a Joker.

He raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the woman opposite him.

At this moment, everyone’s attention gathered on Tang Xi, all staring at the card in her hand.

Tang Xi hadn’t expected that it would be her turn.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she revealed the card in her hand.

It was, to her surprise, the Ace of Hearts.

Xu Manxue walked over with a glass of white liquor, “Will you drink or tell the truth?”

Tang Xi frowned, looking at Xu Manxue, she couldn’t help but wonder if it was too much of a coincidence that the last card was given to her by Xu Manxue.

She had no choice.

She wasn’t good at drinking, and feared she would pass out on the spot after drinking such a glass of liquor.

A hand reached out, taking the glass of wine, “I’ll drink for her.”

After Xiao Chi finished speaking, he drank the liquor in one go under the astonished gaze of everyone present.

Having finished drinking, he turned the glass upside down on the table.

Xu Manxue was somewhat unwilling to let it go, “Mr.

Xiao, we are all just here to have fun.

How can we just break the rules like this?

It should be Tang Xi’s turn to drink.

If she can’t drink, then answering a question truthfully would suffice…

By drinking for her, aren’t you breaking the rules…”

Someone in the crowd muttered, “Yeah, if you can’t play, then don’t join in the game…”

Xiao Chi’s expression changed instantly.

He picked up another glass of white liquor from the table and downed it.

With a stern face, he drank three successive glasses and inversely placed the last one on the table, “Now, is that enough?”

Xu Manxue had no choice but to nod stiffly; after all, she did not dare to offend the Xiao Family.

“Let’s continue the game then.”

The atmosphere soon became lively again.

After another round had passed.

Xu Manxue had three cards left in her hand.

She approached Tang Xi, “Draw one.”

Everyone seemed eager to watch the unfolding drama.

Tang Xi drew a card.

Upon opening it, it was the Ace of Hearts again.

Xu Manxue smiled, “Wow, what a coincidence, it’s your turn again.

Make a choice, truth or drink.”

Some people chimed in, echoing Xu Manxue and starting to tease.

“Yeah, don’t be a spoilsport and make Mr.

Xiao shield you with drinks again…”

“It’s just a glass, why come here if you can’t handle the game?”

Tang Xi took a deep breath, “Truth.”

She knew that if she didn’t make a choice, tonight’s event wouldn’t end.

Anyway, it didn’t matter to her.

Tang Xi had never done anything she was ashamed of in her life; she wasn’t afraid to be questioned.

Xu Manxue exchanged glances with Su Mengshu.

Her eyes circled around, and with a cough, she asked, “Who was your first kiss with?”

At that moment, Su Mengshu spoke softly, “Manxue, how could you ask such a question…

Even if Xiao Xi had a few boyfriends before, it’s still her private matter.”

She put on the facade of a caring big sister.

As though she genuinely had Tang Xi’s best interests at heart.

Xu Manxue covered her mouth, “Oops, I spoke without thinking…

Mr.

Xiao, I’m so sorry…”

Immediately, someone from the crowd said, “What kind of question is that?

If it were me asking, with so many boyfriends, who was the first time with?

Mr.

Xiao, don’t end up the rebound guy….”

“Doesn’t Mr.

Xiao wonder if it was Tang Xi’s first time with you?”

“Exactly, such promiscuity.

Today she’s onto Mr.

Xiao, yesterday flirting with the doctor in the hospital, and I heard…

she even tried to seduce her own brother-in-law…” The voice gradually trailed off, followed by, “Perhaps Miss Tang is still a virgin…”

“Whether Tang Xi is a virgin or not, Mr.

Xiao should have the most say, shouldn’t he?”
