Chapter 1390: Even the Sky Was Angry

At ten past eight, Xu Zhenyu finally came in late. He was still wearing his green military uniform. His uniform was wrinkle-free and fit his strong body well, making him seem cold and powerful, almost unapproachable, yet drawing attention.

After Xu Zhenyu was promoted to colonel, he was hailed as the youngest brigadier general officer in Capital city. Because of his handsome and attractive appearance, he gained a lot of young girl fans and became the most charming and promising colonel in Capital city.

Of course, since Xu Zhenyu rose so fast and gained so much popularity, he had also become the subject of jealousy of many people in Capital city, who often said that Xu Zhenyu could only achieve what he had today by relying on the Xu family’s authority in the military. Some even went further to say that Xu Zhenyu’s nickname used to be a puppet and that it was impossible for a puppet to have the status and power he owned today.

However, no matter what outsiders said, the Xu family remained indifferent.

And Xu Zhenyu himself also chose to get back at those jealous people with his own actions and achievements.

Not long ago, a large-scale military exercise was held. This military exercise was a simulated exercise across the major military regions of Capital City and North City. The highest commander of Capital City was Xu Zhenyu. Although Xu Zhenyu was not very good at planning and scheming, when it came to military strategy, he had a talent for convincing others. He was extremely good at martial arts and was undefeatable. In the end, Capital city won this military exercise.

Although military exercises were classified information by the Ministry of Military Affairs, since Capital city was so large, such news could not be covered easily. It spread throughout the city a few days ago, but what was circulated was only the results, the process was unknown to most people.

Because of this, Xu Zhenyu’s colonel rank was also justified and was no longer questioned.

After all, the Xu family was an iron blood family. In his time, Old Mr. Xu was a fierce and respected soldier. No matter how much of a rich playboy Xu Zhenyu was in the past, the iron blood of the Xu family still flowed in him.

Today, his achievements were also a result of him inheriting the iron blood of the Xu family.

“Sorry, I’m late.” As soon as Xu Zhenyu entered the room he noticed Si Yiyan, who was sitting beside Xinya. His breath was suddenly taken away, his gaze became sharp like the knife on a rifle, ready to pierce into the enemy’s heart.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became very tense.

Even the friends present felt the lively atmosphere go stagnant instantly.

Si Yiyan and Xu Zhenyu were rivals. The air buzzed with energy. They were both very powerful people. Si Yiyan’s strong aura was manifested from birth in his bones, while Xu Zhenyu’s power was integrated into his iron blood after thousands of trials.

For a moment, no one spoke at all.

“Hehe, we were all waiting for you…” Wen Xinya broke the tense atmosphere and quietly glanced at Si Yiyan. He was sitting on the sofa with a calm posture like a pine tree. It could not simply be described with thin brows, a fair complexion, a cold expression, yet maintaining his grace and elegance.

Yet, somehow it just felt dangerous for no reason.

With an opening from Wen Xinya, Gu Junling also took the lead and reacted by standing up and giving Xu Zhenyu a blow to his chest. “You brat, everyone must wait for you at every single party. After being promoted to colonel, your head has been getting bigger and bigger.”

Han Mofeng also joined in. “As a qualified and exemplary soldier, is it really good for you to have such bad time management?”

Xu Zhenyu’s stiff complexion finally cracked under Gu Junling and Han Mofeng’s gag. “Every time we meet you guys harp on the same topic, is it really this interesting? I thought we were already over it!”

Ling Qingxuan shouted loudly, “Look, this late person is justifying his actions. Say, doesn’t everyone think that he should be punished?”

Several girls, especially Xu Tongxuan, called out loudly, “Yes!”

Xu Zhenyu was so arrogant even though he was late, making them all wait for him. Since he was so unapologetic, it would only be fair to punish him.

At this time, Si Yiyan also casually lined up three tall glasses and said quietly, “I remember that you guys have a tradition of drinking for late coming.”

Although his words were light, the air in the room froze again.

Whenever they had a party, when did they have the tradition of drinking for being late? Why did none of them know that?

Usually, when someone came to the party late, even though everyone would clamor for alcohol punishment, it was just a joke. There was no such tradition!

Ninth Si, this is obviously setting Xu-er up!

However, everyone soon thought back to when Ninth Si officially met everyone, Xu-er also harshly set him up. Ninth Si drank nine glasses of red wine in one sitting.

For the first time, Ninth Si was punished to drink by the “in-laws”.

So, did he really misunderstand that they had a tradition of drinking for being late? Or was he deliberately taking the opportunity and wanted to take a dig at Xu-er?

However, in any case, Ninth Si was late that time and was punished to drink. Thus, this time they could not be biased.

Therefore, Xu-er could only acknowledge it this time.

Zhou Tianyu took the lead in responding. “Punish him to three glasses!”

Xu Tongxuan added, “You have to finish it all in one sitting!”

After speaking, the two looked at each other, sweat forming on their foreheads.

Du Ruo and Ye Feiyu did not know what was going on, but they could also feel that the atmosphere was very unusual, and they looked back and forth at Ninth Si and Xu Zhenyu.

Xu Zhenyu said arrogantly, “Isn’t it just drinking? I accept the punishment!”

Although Xu Zhenyu was not in a very good mood for being taken advantage of by Si Yiyan, in this case, he could not just admit defeat without a fight.

Si Yiyan casually poured the red wine. The ruby-red liquor was like a peach blossom in full bloom. Under the cool light of the crystal lamp, it exuded extreme charm.

Three full glasses of red wine were presented on the coffee table.

Xu Zhenyu poured glass after glass into his stomach without any hesitation. According to his alcohol tolerance, these three glasses of red wine were nothing to him.

Gu Junling and a few other men howled at the side.

Soon, the three glasses of red wine were gone in a flash. “Are y’all satisfied now!”

Although he seemed to be speaking to everyone, Xu Zhenyu’s gaze was slightly provocative towards Si Yiyan.

Wen Xinya hurriedly said, “Satisfied, of course.”

After speaking, she glanced at Xu Zhenyu and saw that he was talking to Han Mofeng. She quietly glanced over at Si Yiyan, only to see there was no expression on his face.

She let out a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the two of them would come and bicker back and forth. The reason she called for today’s gathering was to let everyone celebrate Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu’s relationship. They were the protagonists of today’s party.
