2167 Twins

Qiao Weiyang restrained her trembling and put her drink to her lips. She pursed her lips and took a sip.

Su Zhuoqian stretched out his well-defined fingers and touched his lips lightly. He twirled his fingers and smiled.

Although Qiao Jierou couldn’t see what was going on, she sensed that Qiao Weiyang wanted to seduce Su Zhuoqian.

‘How shameless,’ she cursed in her heart.

What did a woman like her take Mr. Su for?

Qiao Jierou picked up a glass of wine and walked up to Su Zhuoqian.

Seeing this scene, everyone quietened down. Those who were singing and playing cards looked over.

Actually, everyone wanted to befriend Su Zhuoqian tonight. It was good even if they had a chance to show their faces to him.

However, Su Zhuoqian was sitting there with an imaginary barrier around him. He was indifferent and distant. It was as if the words ‘don’t approach’ were written on his forehead.

It made those with ulterior motives feel helpless even if they wanted to get close.

No one dared to break the stalemate, so no one made a move. No one was willing to take the initiative to break the situation.

Seeing Qiao Jierou appear, everyone had hope.

Qiao Jierou smiled and handed a glass of red wine to Su Zhuoqian respectfully. “Mr. Su, on behalf of the production team, let me give you a toast. Thank you for attending our production team’s event.”

“Director Cao and Miss Qiao Weiyang have already represented the production team.” Su Zhuoqian did not take the glass she offered.

Qiao Jierou’s glass was raised in midair. She couldn’t retract it or continue raising it.

The meaning behind Su Zhuoqian’s words was obvious. He only approved of Director Cao and Qiao Weiyang. Qiao Jierou was undoubtedly slapping herself in the face.

“Mr. Su…” Qiao Jierou quickly adjusted her embarrassed expression. “Then as myself, let me give you a toast.”

“I’m not drinking today.” Su Zhuoqian’s voice was still cold as he did not take her drink.

Qiao Jierou’s face quickly turned red. No matter how powerful a person was, they would more or less give the other party some face when they appeared at the same social event.

Just now, Director Cao invited Su Zhuoqian, and Su Zhuoqian agreed immediately. It even gave Qiao Jierou the illusion that Su Zhuoqian was not the kind of person who would embarrass others. The rumors outside made him seem terrifying, but that might not be the case.

Therefore, Qiao Jierou was not prepared at all when Su Zhuoqian embarrassed her like this.

Director Cao quickly walked over and took the glass from Qiao Jierou’s hand. He said, “I’ll drink this on behalf of Mr. Su. Jierou, Mr. Su probably doesn’t want to drink today. He doesn’t have any other intentions.”

Director Cao drank the wine in one gulp.

Qiao Jierou endured the humiliation and drank her own glass of red wine. What else could she do? Su Zhuoqian would not give her face, and Director Cao had already mediated for her. Could she still throw a tantrum?

Lin Heng supported Qiao Jierou. “Jierou, Mr. Su probably really doesn’t want to drink. Let’s not force him. Let’s go over there.”

Qiao Jierou glanced at Lin Heng and sighed in her heart.

It wasn’t that Lin Heng hadn’t thought of standing up for Qiao Jierou, but considering his strength, he was nothing in front of Su Zhuoqian. He wouldn’t choose to embarrass himself.

The others originally wanted Qiao Jierou to make a toast so that they could go over and interact with Mr. Su as well.

Seeing Qiao Jierou suffer, everyone knew that there was nothing they could do. Mr. Su didn’t even accept Qiao Jierou’s wine, so the others shouldn’t go and ask for a rebuff.

Jiang Mengyu had no choice but to dispel this thought. Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang were sitting together, and although they weren’t saying anything, the atmosphere was harmonious. Meanwhile, she couldn’t even toast the man, and she found it hard to accept.

“Mr. Su, if you don’t want to drink, I’ll order you a non-alcoholic drink instead. I wonder what you’d like to have?” Jiang Mengyu was even more open-minded than Qiao Jierou.

Besides, she was single, so she had nothing to worry about.

She sat down beside Su Zhuoqian. Since Qiao Jierou had already embarrassed herself, so what would it matter if she was embarrassed too?

One couldn’t trap a wolf if one couldn’t bear to make a few sacrifices!

Jiang Mengyu had even gone to Xiao Bao’s mommy-selection banquet countless times. She would seize every opportunity she had, especially this rare occasion!

As soon as she approached, Su Zhuoqian smelled a strong scent of makeup and immediately frowned.

“I don’t like having beverages.” There was a trace of disgust in Su Zhuoqian’s cold tone.

Jiang Mengyu did not give up. “Then what do you like to drink? I’ll prepare it for you now. It’s an honor that you’re attending our team-building event, so we can’t treat you badly.”

She was so close that she was almost leaning on Su Zhuoqian’s shoulder. She did not mind what others thought of her.

Didn’t one have to go all out to survive in any industry?

Besides, in this circle where there were as many beautiful women as there were clouds, who would be given a rare chance if one didn’t take the initiative?

Seeing Jiang Mengyu like this, Director Cao couldn’t help but give her a look, signaling her to stop.

However, Jiang Mengyu did not want to miss this opportunity at all. She reached out to rub her temples and leaned gently toward Su Zhuoqian’s shoulder. “Sigh, I feel a little drunk…”

She let go of the wine glass in her hand, which fell on the thick carpet. After freeing her hand, she hugged Su Zhuoqian’s arm.

She seemed weak and limp as she clung to Su Zhuoqian.

Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian, who were sitting closest to Jiang Mengyu, saw through her pretentious behavior.

A trace of indifference appeared in Qiao Weiyang’s cold eyes, but there was a smile on her lips.

Su Zhuoqian tilted his head and looked at her helplessly but indulgently.

Jiang Mengyu quickly realized that Su Zhuoqian had not pushed her away. As expected, no man could reject a beauty’s hug.

As she thought about it, she held Su Zhuoqian’s arm with both hands.

Her fingers suddenly touched something slippery. It felt strange and inexplicably cold.

“Ah!!!” Jiang Mengyu suddenly let out a shrill scream. She moved her hands away from Su Zhuoqian’s arm and jumped.

The cold, slippery touch was still there. It wrapped around her fingertips. She kept shaking her hands, but she couldn’t get rid of it at all.

Her screams and actions alarmed everyone. Some people quickly turned on the brightest lights while others rushed over to check on the situation.

“What’s wrong, Mengyu?” Qiao Jierou saw that her actions were rude and she had lost her composure. She quickly asked Jiang Mengyu, but she was actually reminding her to pay attention to her manners.

However, how could Jiang Mengyu care about her bearing at this moment? There was clearly a snake around her fingers.

The snake was still alive. It stuck out its forked tongue and was stabbing at her. It might bite her hard the next second.

Jiang Mengyu’s face turned pale with fear. How could she be in the mood to care about anything else?
