2167 Twins
Qiao Weiyang restrained her trembling and put her drink to her lips. She pursed her lips and took a sip.
Although Qiao Jierou couldnât see what was going on, she sensed that Qiao Weiyang wanted to seduce Su Zhuoqian.
âHow shameless,â 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 âdonât approachâ 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. âMr. Su, on behalf of the production team, let me give you a toast. Thank you for attending our production teamâs event.â
âDirector Cao and Miss Qiao Weiyang have already represented the production team.â Su Zhuoqian did not take the glass she offered.
Qiao Jierouâs glass was raised in midair. She couldnât retract it or continue raising it.
The meaning behind Su Zhuoqianâs words was obvious. He only approved of Director Cao and Qiao Weiyang. Qiao Jierou was undoubtedly slapping herself in the face.
âMr. Suâ¦â Qiao Jierou quickly adjusted her embarrassed expression. âThen as myself, let me give you a toast.â
âIâm not drinking today.â Su Zhuoqianâs voice was still cold as he did not take her drink.
Qiao Jierouâs 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 Jierouâs hand. He said, âIâll drink this on behalf of Mr. Su. Jierou, Mr. Su probably doesnât want to drink today. He doesnât have any other intentions.â
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?
Qiao Jierou glanced at Lin Heng and sighed in her heart.
It wasnât that Lin Heng hadnât thought of standing up for Qiao Jierou, but considering his strength, he was nothing in front of Su Zhuoqian. He wouldnât 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 didnât even accept Qiao Jierouâs wine, so the others shouldnât 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 werenât saying anything, the atmosphere was harmonious. Meanwhile, she couldnât even toast the man, and she found it hard to accept.
âMr. Su, if you donât want to drink, Iâll order you a non-alcoholic drink instead. I wonder what youâd like to have?â 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 couldnât trap a wolf if one couldnât bear to make a few sacrifices!
Jiang Mengyu had even gone to Xiao Baoâs 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.
âI donât like having beverages.â There was a trace of disgust in Su Zhuoqianâs cold tone.
Jiang Mengyu did not give up. âThen what do you like to drink? Iâll prepare it for you now. Itâs an honor that youâre attending our team-building event, so we canât treat you badly.â
She was so close that she was almost leaning on Su Zhuoqianâs shoulder. She did not mind what others thought of her.
Didnât 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 didnât take the initiative?
Seeing Jiang Mengyu like this, Director Cao couldnât 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 Zhuoqianâs shoulder. âSigh, I feel a little drunkâ¦â
She let go of the wine glass in her hand, which fell on the thick carpet. After freeing her hand, she hugged Su Zhuoqianâs 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 Weiyangâs cold eyes, but there was a smile on her lips.
Jiang Mengyu quickly realized that Su Zhuoqian had not pushed her away. As expected, no man could reject a beautyâs hug.
As she thought about it, she held Su Zhuoqianâs arm with both hands.
Her fingers suddenly touched something slippery. It felt strange and inexplicably cold.
âAh!!!â Jiang Mengyu suddenly let out a shrill scream. She moved her hands away from Su Zhuoqianâs arm and jumped.
The cold, slippery touch was still there. It wrapped around her fingertips. She kept shaking her hands, but she couldnât 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.
âWhatâs wrong, Mengyu?â 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 Mengyuâs face turned pale with fear. How could she be in the mood to care about anything else?
