Xia Qing's WeChat received a message from Gao Yuan and a video of Gao Yuan's mother, Zhang Fengying, having returned to Gao Yuan's home and sitting on the sofa. Gao Yuan said: "Xia Qing, my mother is home, will you come back after work?"

Xia Qing replied, "I'm not going back." ”

Gao Yuan didn't send another message, but Xia Qing was not in a good mood, she sent Zhang Yue a WeChat message: "Zhang Yue, I'm going to live at your house tonight." ”

Zhang Yue replied: "Okay, welcome!" Xia Qing said: "I'm having dinner with my colleagues in the company tonight, and I'll drink, will you pick me up then?" Zhang Yue replied: "No problem!"

At 18:10, after getting off work, Wu Fei walked into the design department and said excitedly: "Beautiful and handsome guys, let's go to Happy, shall we? ”

In addition to Xia Qing, the other three designers said happily: "Let's go, let's go when we get drunk." ”

Wu Fei's full-time driver, Lu Gang, drove Wu Fei's business car and took Wu Fei and the four designers to a famous Hunan cuisine about three kilometers away from the company.

In the car, everyone else was chatting and joking, but Xia Qing was the only one who was depressed and looking out the window thinking about his thoughts.

Wang Huai sat next to Xia Qing, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about Xia Qing's abnormality: "Xia Gong, what's wrong with you? ”

Xia Qing said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Yang Fan said: "Xia Gong, how can we ignore you? If you are not happy, we are not happy." ”

Xia Qingqiang smiled and said, "I'm not unhappy, it's just that I haven't had a good rest recently." ”

Jin Qiaoqiao said: "Xia Gong is getting cooler and cooler now. ”

At half past six in the evening, Zhang Fengying saw that Xia Qing had not come back for a long time, she felt very puzzled, and asked Gao Yuan, who was cooking in the kitchen: "Gao Yuan, why hasn't Xia Qing come back yet?"

Gao Yuan was silent at first, pretending not to hear. Zhang Fengying walked over: "Why hasn't Xia Qing come back yet?"

Gao Yuan had no choice but to say, "Mom, I'll explain to you when I'm ready." ”

Zhang Fengying's heart was full of thoughts, and she realized that her son and daughter-in-law might have quarreled. She said, "Did you two quarrel?"

Gao Yuanwei came out with two plates of fried vegetables and put them on the dining table: "Mom, we have been in trouble recently, she will attend the company dinner tonight and will not go home for dinner." ”

Zhang Fengying said indignantly: "Is it so important to have a company dinner? I came all the way from the north, but she is not at home, didn't she hug me, a mother-in-law, and put down her eyes?"

Gao Yuan said helplessly: "Mom, you misunderstood, she really went to the dinner, how could she not take you seriously? You know, she has always been a daughter-in-law who is knowledgeable and sensible. As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and helped Zhang Fengying sit down: "Mom, don't be angry, sit down and prepare for dinner, it doesn't matter if Xia Qing is not there, I will accompany you with my son and give you a pick-up." ”

Zhang Fengying sat down, still uneasy in her heart: "Gao Yuan, tell your mother honestly, is there something wrong with you and Xia Qing?"

Gao Yuan said: "Mom, where do you want to go? How can something go wrong when we have a solid emotional foundation?"

Gao Yuan sandwiched a bowl of dishes for Zhang Fengying: "Mom, don't think too much, let's eat, try the dishes my son and I made." ”

Zhang Fengying began to eat: "It's not bad, by the way, do you usually cook?"

"How come? Most of them are done by Xia Qing. ”

"That's good, son, you're a big boss, you can't always cook. ”

Xia Qing and his colleagues from the company were sitting in a private room, and the six of them were sitting around a large round table, and there were already sauce plate duck, Mao's braised pork, potato roasted sword beans and beer crayfish on the round table, and two bottles of high-end red wine and a bottle of Erguotou were also on it. It's already seven o'clock

Wu Fei said: "The food is coming, everyone is hungry, right? Let's eat, eat some food mats first, and we will have to fight for wine in a while." ”

Wang Huai turned a plate of sauce plate duck to Wu Fei: "Old Wu, you are the boss, you taste it first." ”

Wu Fei smiled: "Okay, I'll come first." He took a piece and put it in his bowl, then turned the dial: "Everyone eat as you like, don't be restrained." ”

The four designers and Lu Gang ate the vegetables one after another, and Xia Qing sandwiched a beer crayfish and put it in the bowl, but her appetite was not very good, so she slowly peeled the crayfish.

The waiter came to pour the wine, Wu Fei said that he pointed to Lu Gang and said to the waiter: "He doesn't drink, he will drive in a while, you can pour it for the five of us." ”

The waiter poured five glasses of red wine and divided them, and Xia Qing was not in the mood to drink at first. Wu Fei and Wang Huai were talking, and the two began to beckon everyone to drink, and Xia Qing could only hold up the goblet.

Everyone stood up, Wu Fei said: "Let me say a few words first, today, it is to celebrate the success of our bid for the Hulk, you designers, especially Xia Qing, I respect you, I will do it first!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank his wine.

Wang Huai also drank the wine, and when he saw that Yang Fan didn't drink it dry, he raised his eyebrows and glared at Yang Fan: "Yang Fan, are you a man?" Yang Fan said: "Can't you see if it's a man?"

Everyone laughed, and even Xia Qing was amused.

Wang Huai said: "It's a man who does it." Yang Fan said: "Wang Gong, I don't have your amount of alcohol." ”

Wu Fei said: "Yang Fan, just do it in order to prove that you are a man, save a while Wang Gong saying that you are not a man." ”

Wang Huai smiled: "Haha, yes, yes, Mr. Wu is right." Everyone stared at Yang Fan, and Yang Fan said, "I really can't do anything about you." After saying that, he drank his wine. Wang Huai poured a glass into Wu Fei's wine glass, and poured another glass for Yang Fan.

Xia Qing only took a small sip, Jin Qiaoqiao only took a small sip, Wu Fei noticed the two of them, and said: "Two beauties, you can't do this, today you are a well-deserved protagonist, you have to drink more." ”

Xia Qing said: "Who said that the protagonist should drink more? Do you want to see the protagonist make a fool?"

Wang Huai said: "Xia Gong, what you said is not right, it is good for women to drink more red wine, besides, the degree of red wine is so low, you can't get drunk." ”

Jin Qiaoqiao glanced at Wang Huai: "We drank too much, will you send us home?"

Wang Huai said: "Yes, no problem, even if I drink high myself, I will send you back, how good it is to be a flower messenger." ”

Wu Fei smiled and said: "Xia Qing, Qiaoqiao, if you don't drink too much, how can a man have a chance?"

The four men laughed, Jin Qiaoqiao looked at Wu Fei speechless with disdain, Xia Qing said: "Leave the opportunity to Qiaoqiao, I am already a married woman." ”

Jin Qiaoqiao said: "I don't want it!"

Wang Huai said: "A married woman should drink more, if you don't drink too much and let your husband pick you up, how do you know that your husband doesn't care about you? Therefore, today I want to prove my husband's love for you." ”

Xia Qing's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and when she saw several people looking at her, she desperately held back her tears. She said, "Wang Huai, how can there be so many crooked reasoning? After finishing speaking, he drank the wine, except for Jin Qiaoqiao, everyone else couldn't help but applaud.

Wu Fei said: "Xia Gong is courageous, and he can only do it if he can drink." Looking at Jin Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, it's your turn." ”

Jin Qiaoqiao sat still: "I can drink it, but you have to promise me that this is the first and last cup, and I will drink it dry." ”

Wu Fei said: "Okay, no problem!"

Jin Qiaoqiao also drank dry. Everyone also applauded, Wu Fei said: "Look, women don't let their eyebrows go, the two beautiful designers of our company are not dry meals." ”

Everyone drank a round of wine and sat down to eat. Wang Huai said to Wu Fei: "Mr. Wu, how about we change the color of the wine?"

Wu Fei said, "Okay, I was about to say it." Wang Huai said, "Waiter, bring three white wine glasses."

The waiter brought three white wine glasses and poured three white wine glasses. Wang Huai put a glass of white wine in front of Yang Fan: "Xiao Yang, you are a gentleman, don't say that you are not!"

Yang Fan couldn't cry or laugh, speechless. Xia Qing said: "Wang Gong, don't be embarrassed, it's almost done, follow Xiao Yang's wishes." ”

Wang Huai said: "That's not good! How can a gentleman not drink liquor?" Yang Fan said: "I don't need to prove whether it is a gentleman or not, right?"

Wu Fei said: "Xiao Yang, just drink a glass of liquor!" Looking at Wu Fei's earnest eyes, Yang Fan had no choice but to say, "Okay, just a glass, talk counts." ”

Three glasses of liquor were raised, each other's glasses were touched, and then they were all drunk.

Xia Qing looked at Yang Fan's gradually crimson face anxiously, and said, "Yang Fan is blushing, don't drink anymore!"

Wang Huai said: "Xia Gong, you feel so sorry for Xiao Yang, why haven't you seen you feel sorry for me?"

"He's my apprentice. ”

Wu Fei said: "Okay, pause the wine, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't eat so many dishes? ”

After Gao Yuan and Zhang Fengying finished eating, the two sat on the sofa and watched TV. Zhang Fengying looked at the clock, it was already half past eight, and she asked Gao Yuan: "Xia Qing should also come back, right?"

Gao Yuan said: "It's only half past eight, it's still early." Generally, you don't get home until 10 o'clock for dinner. ”

Zhang Fengying said: "She has a husband, and she is not a bachelor, how can she be like this? No, I have to call her to urge her to come back." ”

Gao Yuan hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll call her." With that, he walked to the balcony with his phone.

Gao Yuan's behavior aroused Zhang Fengying's suspicion, and she pricked up her ears to listen to Gao Yuan's phone call.

Xia Qing had just drunk the second glass of red wine, her face was already a little red, her head was a little dizzy, her consciousness began to be a little confused, Gao Yuan's call made her suddenly excited, she answered the phone, almost fell when she stood up, Lu Gang helped her in time, and she walked out of the door.

After answering Gao Yuan's mobile phone, Gao Yuan whispered: "Xia Qing, when are you going home?" Xia Qing said: "Didn't I say that I won't go back tonight? I'll go to Zhang Yue's house to live." ”

Gao Yuan said angrily: "What do you mean, don't you want to live?" Xia Qing sneered: "You don't want to live, right?"

Gao Yuan sighed: "You know that my mother is coming today, and you are still going to the dinner? It's so shameless to me, my mother has been asking when you will come back." ”
