Chapter 65 Acquiescing to Him Hurting Me
I held the gift bag in my hand, not caring what was inside.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the family banquet hall, I got out of the car with my things.
Family Banquet is a business owned by the Song Group and managed by Song Yafei. It's where this group of people gathers every time.
It must be admitted that Song Yafei is indeed a skilled manager.
The family banquet was held in a very nice environment, which was also very well managed. There were no unruly people or a messy atmosphere, and there was no drunken disturbance.
It's quiet and peaceful, more like a tea room.
But it happens to be a place where people drink freely and enjoy singing and dancing.
I used to really like this kind of environment, but this place is something I hate.
This place is built entirely with money; no poor person would ever eat here.
Those who come are always high-ranking officials and dignitaries; most of them are met with mocking glares.
I took a deep breath before carrying the gift bag into the homecoming banquet hall and heading straight to their private room on the sixth floor.
When I pushed open the door to the private room, for some reason, there was a very subtle and strange atmosphere inside.
Xie Wenyao and Xie Wenyi sat next to Song Yafei, and the expressions on their faces were somewhat subtle.
When Song Yafei saw me, her expression returned to normal, and she waved to me.
I didn't care what happened between them. I walked over to Song Yafei and handed the gift directly to Xie Wenyi.
Welcome back.
Xie Wenyi didn't immediately accept the gift; he just stared at me without moving.
I didn't back down. I kept my eyes fixed on him. He didn't take it, so I just held my hand up, nonchalantly.
After all these years, he has indeed changed a bit and looks more mature.
But the arrogance in his bones had not disappeared at all in his eyes.
The way he looked into my eyes was exactly the same as before, full of mockery.
The atmosphere in the private room was quite subtle.
They all stared at each other, sitting still, not daring to move or even breathe, and glancing slightly at us.
I don't know what Xie Wenyi's mindset is right now. Is he trying to kill me with his eyes in front of everyone?
Song Yafei may have lost face by choosing me back then, but what's the point of this situation now?
Is that how you regain the face you've lost?
After a while, Xie Wenyi took the gift bag from my hand and casually tossed it onto the sofa next to me.
"Thanks! You're late, shall we punish ourselves with three drinks?"
Drinking is not allowed!
Drinking Xie Wenyi's penalty wine is even worse.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone brought over a bottle of strong liquor and three glasses, filling them to the brim without even asking if I wanted to.
The drinks spilled out by accident.
I smiled nonchalantly and said, "Are we that close? I'm just here to deliver something."
Xie Wenyi's expression immediately changed. "If you're not familiar with me, then get lost."
I was originally planning to leave after delivering the items, but after hearing what he said, I decided not to leave.
Xie Wenyi has never been polite to me.
I wasn't annoyed. I pulled Song Yafei's hand over and played with it. "There's no reason for you to kick me out on our turf."
"Have you no shame? You're used to relying on women? You gigolo!"
"You wish, but unfortunately Yafei didn't fancy you," I retorted without backing down.
You've given him too much credit.
In their eyes, this has always been their opinion of me, and it has never changed.
"you……"
Xie Wenyi was furious when the truth was exposed, but I remained unmoved.
He brought this humiliation upon himself; how could I possibly stop him?
The stalemate continued, and Xie Wenyao and Song Yafei, both having drunk quite a bit and with flushed faces, failed to intervene in time.
He Xi, the person who poured the wine earlier, brought two more people over. They were shrewd and each took a glass of wine.
"I'll drink, we'll drink!"
"Everyone, don't be angry. We're happy today, it's not worth it! Let's drink."
And so, the three of them managed to get away with the three glasses of wine.
Xie Wenyao then suggested, her tongue slurred, "We've had our drinks, our food, and our songs, let's play some games."
The gift was delivered, and I wanted to leave.
Looking at Song Yafei beside me, she was slightly drunk and had been looking at me with a faint smile.
If I leave, I'm afraid that once she's fully awake, she won't be able to have any peace.
Then everyone chimed in, "Okay, what game should we play?"
Xie Wenyao continued, "How about I play Truth or Dare?"
"Ok, Ok."
Then everyone started chatting away.
"Brother Wenyi, you'd better be prepared. After all these years away, we won't let you off the hook."
"Exactly! Do you even consider us brothers? Today, we brothers are going to thoroughly investigate what you've been up to in the last three years, and how many girlfriends you've had!"
"No problem." Xie Wenyi waved his hand dismissively, thinking himself particularly dashing.
I just didn't want his gaze to fall on me again. "You can't refuse to play with Zhang Tian, can you?"
I don't want to play this game. If they catch me in this kind of situation, I'll be in big trouble.
Moreover, Xie Wenyi doesn't have much face with me.
Just as I was about to refuse, Song Yafei nudged me, "Want to play together?"
Is she drunk?
Was it intentional?
What do you mean?
She knew perfectly well that Xie Wenyi and I didn't get along, and she knew he had set a trap for me, yet she still pushed me into it?
But looking into her eyes, I couldn't necessarily refuse her.
She really has changed!
I remember when Xie Wenyi made things difficult for me in public, she would always stand in front of me and block all the knives that were shot at me.
Things are different now. Even though I know they have ill intentions, they still force me to bite the bullet and go along with it.
This is tacitly condoning his hurting me.
In that case, let's see what else he's going to do?
What are his intentions this time that led him back?
Fortunately, Xie Wenyi wasn't the first to win, but it wasn't good either, as his sister Xie Wenyao won.
No one present knew about my affair with Xie Wenyao.
She looked like she had drunk quite a bit; her cheeks were flushed.
I didn't know what she would do, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Xie Wenyao stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on me.
I have a bad feeling.
Back when we were in school, everyone present knew about Xie Wenyao's malice towards me.
When her gaze fell on me, everyone gasped. Some of the friends even tugged at her clothes.
"Wen Yao, take it easy, don't go too far!"
The person who said this wasn't actually doing it for me; they were just trying to curry favor with Song Yafei.
Xie Wenyao pushed the person next to her away without any politeness, picked up the whiskey, and took a big gulp.
He then slammed his glass on the table, looked up at me, his eyes unblinking, his gaze hazy, as if he were truly drunk.
"Zhang Tian, tell me, who do you really like now?"
