Chapter 983: Chapter 980: When Will You Invite Us to Your Wedding Celebration?

Since there were plans to help Tong Xiaohua expand her social circle, both Tong’s eldest brother and Yan Bo began to frequently take Tong Xiaohua to various dining events and cocktail parties.

Before this, Tong Xiaohua had not been fond of such social engagements, but she understood that, since she had taken the position of Tong Family’s eldest, she had to attend these dining events and cocktail parties, and she had to get to know the people there.

Moreover, her relationship with Yan Bo was now practically common knowledge in L City, and considering her father’s ferocity and reputation, ninety percent of people believed that their relationship was unbreakable, even by a typhoon.

Even Tong Xiaohua often felt that she and Yan Bo had become inseparable.

Therefore, even if she didn’t consider the interests of the Tong Family, just from the standpoint of Yan Bo and Yanhuang, she, as the boss lady, needed to make herself stronger and more tactful. Should they confront any troubles in the future, even if she couldn’t help, at least she shouldn’t hold them back.

Initially concerned that she wouldn’t adapt, the first time Yan Bo took her to a Yanhuang-related dining event, he proactively blocked quite a lot of drinks for her.

Tong Xiaohua discreetly tugged at his sleeve, "Yan Bo, I can drink, and my alcohol tolerance isn’t bad either."

Yan Bo just assumed she was being tough or afraid that others would get him drunk. However, after a single dining event, he realized just how amazing her claimed tolerance was.

At this event, some big L City parents with real power were present, and as juniors, Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua had to drink, which was unavoidable.

Over two hours later, when the dining event was over, Yan Bo felt somewhat dizzy. Tong Xiaohua took the initiative to link arms with him and together, they saw off each of the important parents into their cars.

Tong Xiaohua could tell that Yan Bo was nearing his limit. Without a word, she linked arms with him; she was practically propping up Yan Bo, who barely had the strength to walk, yet to others, they appeared like a young couple flaunting their love.

"Young Master, you and Xiao Hua are a perfect match. When will you invite us to your wedding banquet?"

These important parents had all received the "reminder" from Yan Zhong, but they all believed, what grudge could fathers and sons hold overnight?

Therefore, they had ostensibly heeded Yan Zhong but hadn’t really neglected Yan Bo in private.

Especially since this time, Yan Bo was merely inviting them to dine without proposing any substantial requests.

"Rest assured, Director Chen, there will definitely be a cup for you at the wedding banquet!"

Yan Bo was on the verge of complete drunkenness; another half glass and he would have been sprawled on the table unable to rise.

But now, with Tong Xiaohua holding him, his face showed no sign of it.

After seeing off all the important parents into their cars, Tong Xiaohua helped Yan Bo into their own vehicle.

"Drink this first!"

Tong Xiaohua produced a small vial of liquid from somewhere, popped a straw into it, and passed it to Yan Bo’s lips.

Yan Bo took the little bottle in a daze, sucking the liquid and asked vaguely, "What’s this?"

"Hangover Oral Solution..."

Tong Xiaohua felt somewhat sad; lately, Yan Bo had had to consume hangover remedies multiple times for her sake.

"Next time, drink less. I’ll drink instead!" Tong Xiaohua said softly, peering at him in the dim light.

Yan Bo finished the remedy in a few sips and looked up at her.

The light was dim, and coupled with his substantial drunkenness, the image of Tong Xiaohua before him split into several overlapping shadows.

"Your tolerance is too strong... What’s the most you can drink?" If he remembered correctly, she seemed to have drunk even more than him, yet she acted as if it was nothing at all.

She had been steadying him the entire time and managed to dispatch everyone without a hitch.

Tong Xiaohua propped his head up, letting him rest it on her thigh, "I’ve been trained to drink by my dad since I was young, gradually increasing the amount over time. By now, I don’t even know my own limit; all I know is that, under normal circumstances, I rarely get drunk."

What she meant by normal circumstances was excluding the instances when someone drowns their sorrows in alcohol due to a bad mood.

Although Yan Bo’s mind was still clear, he felt extremely dizzy. His head now rested on Tong Xiaohua’s thighs, and he simply closed his eyes.

"You sleep for a while, I’ll wake you when we get home," she said.

Tong Xiaohua didn’t even ask where Yan Bo was returning to; she assumed he would go back to the Tong Family home by default.

And now, Yan Bo had come to think of the Tong Family home as another home of his own, its closets stocked with clothes and all daily necessities.

These everyday items and clothes were gradually brought over by him, while the daily necessities were prepared bit by bit by Tong Xiaohua’s mother.

Contrary to the Yan Family’s complete exclusion of Tong Xiaohua, in the Tong Family, everyone from top to bottom had almost recognized Yan Bo’s position.

"Xiao Yan drank too much?"

When Tong Xiaohua and Brother Yang had helped Yan Bo back home, Tong Xiaohua’s eldest uncle was still awake. He asked out of concern and then followed them into Yan Bo’s bedroom. After seeing that there was no serious problem, he went back to his room to rest.

The next morning, when Yan Bo woke up, he found himself once again in the room the Tong Family had prepared for him, and felt somewhat annoyed.

After freshening up, he walked into the living room to find Tong Xiaohua’s eldest uncle already there, having tea.

He looked at Yan Bo with a pleasant expression, "Xiao Yan, breakfast is in the dining room. Hurry up and eat."

Yan Bo looked around, "Good morning, Uncle Tong. Where’s Auntie Tong?"

"I have a cousin getting married soon; she got dragged into planning for that early this morning."

Uncle Tong went back to reading his newspaper, and by all indications, he didn’t seem to harbor any special opinion about Yan Bo’s drunkenness.

Yan Bo accepted the tea that the servant brought over and sat down beside Uncle Tong.

"Uncle Tong, I’m really curious. How much can you drink?"

Having witnessed Tong Xiaohua’s tolerance, and recalling the time he had a drink with Uncle Tong a few days before, he couldn’t help but wonder.

"Me?" Uncle Tong continued to read his newspaper but answered, "My tolerance used to be much higher than it is now; I’ve cut down a lot since getting older."

Yan Bo thought for a moment, "Is it because you’re worried about Auntie Tong?"

Uncle Tong lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, "You know and still you ask?"

Yan Bo was aware of Auntie Tong’s health condition, but he had never disclosed the truth to Tong Xiaohua.

It seemed that Uncle Tong and Auntie Tong intended to keep it hidden forever.

This concealment involved a kind element. At the same time, Yan Bo could see Uncle Tong’s wishful thinking regarding the matter.

He probably believed that as long as Auntie Tong had a peaceful life, she could defeat her illness and live a good, long life, just like a healthy person, into her eighties or hundreds.

"Uncle Tong, you are a good husband, and a good father!"

Yan Bo had been in L City for almost a year now. In that time, he had heard many rumors about Tong Xiaohua’s eldest uncle, but clearly, that rumored version was starkly different from the real Uncle Tong he knew.

"Xiao Yan, I hope you will be, too!"

Since Uncle Tong had let go of all his reservations about Yan Bo, his conversations no longer carried the strangely sarcastic tone of the past.

"Uncle Tong, I will!" Yan Bo promised.

"Hmm, I can’t interfere with what your own family thinks or does, but anyhow, take good care of Xiao Hua and don’t let her get upset," Uncle Tong also declared his stance.
