Chapter 308: Uncle Rival, You Shouldn’t Play If You Can’t Afford To
Jin Xuechu and Qin Jingzhi were in one car.
Qin Jingzhi said lightly, “Be careful, that boy can drink.”
Jin Xuechu smiled. “It’s alright. We haven’t seen each other in a while, it’s normal to drink a little more than usual now that we’re together.”
Qin Jingzhi grinned. It was great talking to a smart person; it took just a little hint for Jin Xuechu to understand that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The barbeque shop Xiao Xu suggested was not an ordinary stall on the streets. It was built two stories high along the river with the second floor built with a half open-air concept. It was a place designed for celebrities.
Yan Qingsi went up to the second floor as soon as she arrived while Xiao Xu ordered food downstairs.
Yue Tingfeng arrived a little later than she did. He then filled the table with beer and spirits before the barbeque was even served.
Qin Jingzhi had chills looking at the table. He was traumatized by drinking from the night before.
Jin Xuechu stared at the alcohol in silence then glanced at Qin Jingzhi.
Yue Tingfeng laughed. “There’s no point in eating without a drinking game. Let’s play a game.”
He pulled out a deck of cards and threw it at Xiao Xu, who was tasked with giving three cards to each of them. It was a game of higher or lower, and anyone who got it wrong had to drink.
Yue Tingfeng’s idea was simple yet harsh.
Yan Qingsi held a bottle of beer and watched from the sidelines. Yue Tingfeng had lost six rounds out of the first ten, and there were already three empty bottles in front of him. The rule of the game was for the loser to down half a bottle of beer in that round.
Xiao Xu watched as the men kept drinking. It smelled of gunfire at the dinner table.
“Sister, this drinking is getting too much don’t you think? Aren’t you going to do something about it?”
“What is there to do? These mushrooms were grilled well, get a few more for me.”
“Sigh, alright...”
Yan Qingsi realized that Jin Xuechu and Qin Jingzhi were scheming together at the dinner table. Yue Tingfeng should know that by now, but he remained silent. She wondered what he planned to do.
Yue Tingfeng kept a straight face despite having downed six bottles of beer. Xiao Xu gave out cards again as he said, “Let’s switch up the game. If I lose this round, I’ll down all the alcohol on the table. If I win, you guys... split it. How about that? This should benefit both of you. Play if you’re a man, if you’re not, give up now.”
Yue Tingfeng made the deal as Yan Qingsi watched from the side. Jin Xuechu nodded. “Sure.”
The men showed their cards. Yue Tingfeng smiled as he said, “I’m sorry, I won. Gentlemen, please.”
Qin Jingzhi’s expression darkened, he was tricked by Yue Tingfeng. There was an eighty percent chance that he lost to them intentionally in the first few rounds so that they would let their guard down before finishing them off. If he had to finish what’s left on the table, he would pass out. He touched his nose and said, “The doctor told me that I shouldn’t drink too much for the next two days...”
Yue Tingfeng peeled the head off a lobster and said, “Uncle, there’s no point in doing this. You shouldn’t play if you can’t afford to, I wouldn’t bully old people for it. You said yes before this but now you’re taking your word back. How would Qingsi perceive you?”
After saying that, he cleaned the lobster before putting it next to Yan Qingsi’s mouth.
Yan Qingsi was stunned. Yue Tingfeng said, “Good girl, open your mouth, this lobster is just a snack for now. I’ll bring you somewhere better after this.”
Jin Xuechu and Qin Jingzhi stared at Yan Qingsi. She felt her face heat up, her heart raced.
