fever of 39.3 degrees Celsius. The nurse immediately gave her medicine to bring down her fever and then drew a blood sample for a routine blood test. The results came back quickly, indicating a bacter...Fu Yan returned home and slept until 7:30 PM. It was Xiao Xia's phone call that woke her up.
"Sister, why haven't you arrived yet"
Fù Yān, sleepily mumbled, "Hm"
Xiaoxia heard the raspy voice on the phone, laced with a hint of laziness, and said loudly, “You wouldn’t be asleep, would you”
Fu Yan finally remembered, today was Xia's birthday. They had agreed to have drinks together tonight, and Xia wanted to introduce her boyfriend to her. How could she forget this
"Oh!" she cleared her throat, hurriedly sat up from the bed and rubbed her face vigorously, "Didn't sleep yet, just about to change clothes. You guys play first, I'll be there in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yan immediately jumped out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, quickly applied a simple and polite light makeup, and changed her clothes before going out.
Xia said her boyfriend was a rich second generation, his family had some money, and he usually spent money in mid-to-high-end places. When Xia reminded her that they were going to Drunk Man's World, she just blinked slightly.
Immediately drove off.
That was Huo Mingzheng's place, but he shouldn't be there, right
Fu Yan pushed open the door to the private room, and everyone inside turned to look at her. Xiao Xia stood up and waved at her, "Sister Yan, over here."
There were about ten people in the private room. Judging by their attire, they all seemed to be from second-generation families, clearly people from Xia's boyfriend's circle. Fu Yan walked over nonchalantly, smiling at everyone present.
"Chen Shu, this is what I told you about Yan Jie. She takes extra good care of me at the company." Xiaoxiao held her boyfriend's hand and introduced Fu Yanjie to Chen Shu.
Chen Shu was polite and extended his hand to Fu Yan, saying, "Thank you, Sister Yan, for taking care of my girlfriend. She often mentions you in front of me."
Fu Yan smiled and reached out to politely touch the other person's hand, "Xiao Xia is so well-behaved."
A man put his arm around Xia's arm and smiled, "She's obedient and listens to me."
This sentence made Fu Yan feel physically uncomfortable. She glanced at Xiaoxiao, who was blushing and leaning against her boyfriend's shoulder like a little bird. According to Xiaoxiao, they had only been dating for less than a week, and it was the other party who pursued her.
Xiaoxu said she wanted help watching over things, but really, her whole heart was about to be given away.
"Sister Yan, I toast to you." The man poured a cup of wine and handed it to Fu Yan.
Xiaoxia hurriedly stopped her, "Why are you drinking right away Let Yanjieshi have something to eat first to line her stomach."
The man glanced at her, "Didn't you say Yanjiao is your project department's star This amount of alcohol is nothing."
His other friends chimed in, “Yeah, with such a beautiful sister, her alcohol tolerance must be pretty good.”
When Fu Yan just came in, she glanced around. Most people here were older than her, calling her "sister" with either ulterior motives or sarcastic disdain, mostly with an arrogant attitude.
Even two women rolled their eyes at each other behind the scenes.
She glanced at the glass of liquor in the man's hand, a bottle he had just opened upon her arrival, watching as he poured it. She accepted it with a smile.
Chen Shu went to the restroom, Xiao Xia followed, and tugged at her boyfriend's sleeve, "Chen Shu, later you guys are not allowed to get Yan Jie drunk, I'm not comfortable with her coming alone."
The man smiled ambiguously, "What are you afraid of I have so many brothers, any one of them could send her back."
That's true, but Xiaoxiao still doesn't trust him. She whispered, "I don't know any of your friends."
"How about it" The man glanced at her, a flicker of malice in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he gave a playful smile. "Don't you trust me or my friend"
"I didn't mean that," Xia whispered nervously, trying to appease him. "I don't doubt you, don't be angry."
The man shook her hand away. “Xiaoxia, I introduced you to my friends just because it’s your birthday. You don’t trust me What’s the matter”
Xia Xia stumbled and almost lost her balance. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She opened her mouth to speak, but the other person took off his belt in front of her. Although they were dating, they hadn't reached this point yet. She hurriedly retreated out of the room.
Across a flash of wind, she saw two men sitting beside Fu Yan, leaning very close to her, holding dice and asking Fu Yan if she knew how to play.
Fu Yan looked at the three dice laid out before her, and the two neat rows of wine glasses. Two men and a woman were playing with her. she was about to cry.Who knew Huo Jing's usually calm face turned grim, as she angrily rebuked, "I dislike Fu Yan, but I never intended to treat her like this. Did you expect me to seek revenge throu...
