Chapter 116: Drunk, But Not Completely Drunk
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The graduation party was about to begin.
After getting rid of Cheng Jie, Nan Qiao and An Nuo took a taxi to school.
The banquet was held in a hotel nearby. The school had reserved two levels as the venue for the students to party tonight.
“Our class should be on level seven.”
An Nuo looked at the news in the class group chat to confirm the level. She planned to pull Nan Qiao to greet her classmates.
However, Nan Qiao saw a familiar figure when she entered. She immediately stopped and looked in that direction.
“You go first. I have something to do.”
Nan Qiao suddenly said.
An Nuo was stunned for a moment before agreeing. She did not ask what Nan Qiao was going to do.
The first and second floors of the hotel were the dining area. Nan Qiao walked in the direction she had just looked at. After turning a corner, she saw that person.
It was Nan Kang.
She remembered that Nan Kang had slapped her. She wondered what he was doing here.
Although this hotel was not bad, it should not be worthy of the Nan family’s attention.
Nan Qiao looked around the corner and saw Nan Kang and someone sitting down. They were talking and laughing as if they were discussing business.
A faint conversation entered Nan Qiao’s ears. The two of them seemed to be discussing a business deal. The amount was not big.
According to the Nan family’s usual style, they would not even look at this kind of business.
Nan Kang’s expression was mixed with solicitousness, but it made Nan Qiao sneer. Now that Nan Kang no longer had the relationship with the Murong family, he had fallen to this extent.
Perhaps because he had relied on Murong Yan’s business ability in the past, Nan Kang had the illusion that he was omnipotent. Even now, when Nan Qiao looked at him, she could still sense the remaining aloofness in his bones.
However, the Nan family was already in tatters. After Nan Zhi and her mother were taken away, Nan Jin left in disappointment.
Nan Hao was still in school. Only Nan Xuan was left in the family. Therefore, Nan Kang also came out to socialize. However, under Murong Chen’s suppression, the Nan family was only struggling at death’s door.
“Then it’s settled. Sorry to trouble you.”
While she was thinking, the two of them had finished talking and were walking towards Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao immediately hid behind the huge flower pot behind her, perfectly hiding behind it.
“I’m sorry!”
A nervous female voice suddenly sounded.
She seemed to have bumped into Nan Kang.
Through the gaps in the leaves, Nan Qiao looked in Nan Kang’s direction. The other party’s expression was terrible. He looked like he was about to flare up when the girl suddenly bumped into him.
Recently, nothing seemed to be going well, and the Nan family’s situation was not as good as before. Nan Kang was overwrought with worry when many of his business partners terminated their contracts. From time to time, he would think of He Qian and Nan Zhi, thinking of how good life was back then.
However, after fantasizing, he had to face the cruel and cold reality. This made Nan Kang, who was used to enjoying himself, feel uncomfortable. He blamed all the fault on Nan Qiao.
If not for Nan Qiao, how could he have fallen to this state?
Now that he was out to discuss business, he was bumped against by a stranger!
“You don’t have eyes—”
Nan Kang was furious at that moment. He wanted to flare up, but when he raised his head, the words of anger disappeared from his mouth.
He looked at the beautiful girl in front of him in a daze, and his mind suddenly went blank.
Her face without makeup looked delicate and gentle, with a beauty and innocence that was not contaminated by the secular world. She was like a timid lily that swayed and tugged at one’s heartstrings.
“Sorry, sorry.”
The girl did not expect that she would bump into someone in her hurry. She bent down and apologized profusely, her face turning red.
Nan Qiao took in this scene and left thoughtfully. She pressed the elevator button and went to the seventh floor.
“Nan Qiao, what took you so long!”
As soon as she entered, she heard someone shouting for her.
Nan Qiao looked in the direction of the voice. It was her classmates. Looking at the blush on their faces and their attitude, they must have drank too much.
“Hey.”
She did not say anything. After finding her seat, she sat down. On her left was An Nuo, who had arrived a while ago.
“You’re finally here!” When An Nuo saw Nan Qiao, it was as if she had seen her savior. Her eyes lit up and she pounced on Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao did not understand. She glanced at An Nuo, not understanding what she wanted.
“If you’re late, you need to punish yourself with a drink!”
In the next second, someone solved Nan Qiao’s doubts. Someone shouted, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.
A glass of wine was placed in front of Nan Qiao. She looked at the pink wine and saw the ripples under the light. It was extremely beautiful.
“This is fruit wine. It’s fine.”
An Nuo quietly explained to her at the side.
After all, everyone was very strict in high school. Not many people had drank alcohol. Now that they had graduated, they naturally wanted to go crazy for once.
However, everyone knew their limits. The boys could drink if they wanted to, but they would give the girls fruit wine which had low alcohol content. Hence it was fine to drink one or two glasses.
“Drink! Drink!”
Someone jeered at the side. Under the influence of the alcohol and the atmosphere, everyone seemed to be much more relaxed. Even when facing Nan Qiao, who was not to be trifled with, they spoke louder.
Nan Qiao didn’t dawdle and drank the fruit wine cleanly.
It was rose flavored which tasted quite good.
She blinked and looked at the surrounding faces that she usually had no impression of. Suddenly, she felt a little sad.
After today, everyone would go their separate ways.
She saw a few people crying in each other’s arms not far away. Nan Qiao subconsciously emptied her mind, but she only felt lost.
She held a glass of filled wine and sipped it unconsciously. Then, she saw everyone happily taking photos together.
Unknowingly, she was already going to university.
In the few months since her rebirth, Nan Qiao only felt that everything was a blur, but the memories of her previous life were still vivid in her mind.
How she was framed by Nan Zhi and hated by everyone. In the end…
Nan Qiao let out a long breath and her expression suddenly became much more relaxed.
Fortunately, she had taken her revenge. She was also living well and had her Big Brothers who loved her.
Everything was different now.
“An Nuo?”
Nan Qiao looked at An Nuo, who had appeared in front of her, and asked in confusion.
An Nuo felt that something was wrong just now, so she patted Nan Qiao’s shoulder. But when she turned around, she saw that her face had turned red.
Could she be drunk?
“Qiao?” An Nuo waved her hand in front of her. “How many fingers?”
Nan Qiao looked at An Nuo, her face expressionless. “Two.”
She was drunk, but not completely.
Looking at Nan Qiao’s state, An Nuo was a little uncertain.
“Your phone is ringing.”
She reminded her.
Just now, Nan Qiao was so engrossed in the fruit wine that she did not even notice the phone beside her. It was An Nuo who noticed and called out to her.
Nan Qiao picked up her phone and glanced at the caller.
It was Murong Chen.
“Big Brother?”
She answered the call, her voice obedient.
Murong Chen’s calm voice came from the other end of the phone. There seemed to be the sound of pages turning in the background, indicating that he was probably reading a document.
“It’s raining outside. I’ll pick you up.”
Murong Chen called just as the graduation party was about to end. There were ten minutes left until nine o’clock, and he called her on the dot.
Nan Qiao subconsciously looked at the sky outside. It was dark, and there were not even many stars.
“Alright, I’ll go down now.”
She responded and immediately bade farewell to everyone before heading downstairs..
