Chapter 341 - 340: Won’t Spare You

Chapter 341: Chapter 340: Won’t Spare You

On Monday, Wu Zhengyang arrived at the office. Everyone, having heard about his engagement, congratulated him.

Miao Xue offered congratulations on the surface, but inside, she felt extraordinarily pained.

She had maintained a calm relationship with Wu Zhengyang during this period, slowly trying to get closer to him.

She thought that once his relationship with that Lin surnamed person faded and became tiresome, he would appreciate her goodness.

But unexpectedly, the two of them had so quickly set their marriage. Wouldn’t it be less than a year or two before they married?

Would their colleagues soon be eating wedding candy?

As Wu Zhengyang’s colleagues congratulated him, they also joked, saying that the day for eating his wedding candy wouldn’t be far off.

Wu Zhengyang felt uneasy about telling his colleagues that he wouldn’t be able to marry Lin Qiu for at least a year or two but managed to give a noncommittal reply, "Not far off!"

Miao Xue’s face turned deathly pale, her fingers gripping the pen turned white. He was really going to become someone else’s groom!

She couldn’t accept this!

She couldn’t accept the thought of Wu Zhengyang becoming another person’s man one day!

Therefore, she decided to burn her boats. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

In the office, their colleague Zhou Peng playfully suggested that Wu Zhengyang should treat them, "Zhengyang! You’ve gotten engaged right when we’ve received our salaries; shouldn’t you make a gesture to celebrate?"

Someone chimed in, "Exactly! I’ve heard that Mingyuan Restaurant prepares excellent dishes! Why not..."

Wu Zhengyang found himself being cajoled by his colleagues, ultimately feeling compelled to agree in the end.

Having finally gotten engaged to Lin Qiu, he was actually quite happy, so in the end, he agreed to treat a few close colleagues to a meal after work.

Although Miao Xue didn’t speak up, she was scheming in her heart. Lin Yu, being what she was, had managed to marry Chen Gang simply because she had a child. What was she, Miao Xue, lacking?

Comparing their circumstances, her family’s conditions were not inferior to Wu Zhengyang’s fiancee’s family, right? And her family had wider connections.

She refused to believe it. She wouldn’t just disrupt their engagement — she would ruin their marriage too!

At Mingyuan Restaurant, cups had made three rounds, dishes had passed five flavors.

Wu Zhengyang, as the protagonist, got predictably drunk by his colleagues’ doing.

Jiang Mingyuan just happened to be in the restaurant and saw the intoxicated Wu Zhengyang being supported by one male and one female colleague, followed by a group of four or five men and women.

He approached, "Wu Zhengyang! Are you all right?"

With blurry, drunken eyes Wu Zhengyang looked up, following the voice, "Big Brother!" he said, burping mid-sentence.

"I’ll take you home!" Jiang Mingyuan said, as he came closer, immediately getting a whiff of the strong alcohol scent.

"Okay!" Wu Zhengyang shook off his colleague’s hand, "You guys go ahead! I’ll go with my Big Brother!"

Miao Xue watched Wu Zhengyang unwillingly. Her plan was to get Wu Zhengyang drunk today and then take advantage of his intoxication to lead him away somewhere on the way back.

Chen Gang and the others were waiting outside; if she handled things properly, she was sure to succeed.

Who would have expected a Cheng Yaojin to appear halfway through her plan?

"Wu Zhengyang! Isn’t it that you’re an only son at home?"

Zhou Peng was also puzzled, "Yeah! Wu Zhengyang! Aren’t you the youngest? Is this a relative of yours?"

"My friend!" Wu Zhengyang replied.

Jiang Mingyuan, having heard from Lin Xia about Wu Zhengyang’s matter with a female colleague at work, now seeing the unfriendly look in Miao Xue’s eyes, felt even more that he should not let Wu Zhengyang go with them.

"Wu Zhengyang! Let’s go! Let’s have a chat together!"

"Okay!" Wu Zhengyang was willing to get close to Jiang Mingyuan, and besides, he wanted to explain a couple of things about the awkward situation Niu Yuelan had caused during the meal on the day of his engagement.

Jiang Mingyuan afterwards, disregarding Miao Xue and the others at the back, forcefully dragged Wu Zhengyang out of the restaurant.

Miao Xue and Zhou Peng watched as Wu Zhengyang was stuffed into the car by this man, who then sped away.

Miao Xue bit her lower lip tightly, truly unwilling to let it be.

She had been all prepared, yet Wu Zhengyang had been snatched away by someone else.

But there would be other days, and she did not believe that such an opportunity would never arise again.

Sitting in the car, Wu Zhengyang let the breeze coming in through the half-open window cool him off and it took a while before the dizzy feeling subsided.

He felt somewhat embarrassed, "Big Bro! Sorry to be such a laugh! I really don’t usually drink this much!"

"It’s fine! I’ve had my share of drinking too much too!" Jiang Mingyuan cut straight to the point, "However, Wu Zhengyang, from the group of people with you earlier, was that woman who was supporting you the one who pursued you before?"

Wu Zhengyang nodded with some embarrassment, "Yes! It was her! But later I made things clear to her, she has already understood!"

Jiang Mingyuan smiled meaningfully, "I don’t think so! You’d better be careful in the future! After all, you are now engaged to Lin Qiu!"

He paused here, his tone cooling considerably, "If something happens in the future, not to say that Lin Qiu will definitely not forgive you, I won’t let you off the hook either!"

Wu Zhengyang swallowed reflexively, half-sobered up by the chill emanating from Jiang Mingyuan.

He rushed to assure, "Big Bro! I definitely won’t do anything to betray Xiaoqiu! Please be assured of that!"

"As long as you’re aware of it!" Jiang Mingyuan did not wish to delve deeper, as many things still depended on Wu Zhengyang himself.

Watching from the side, he found Wu Zhengyang a rather decent young man, but matters between men and women are tricky; a bit of carelessness could lead to misunderstandings or something...

The two said nothing more, the journey being short; they quickly arrived at Wu Zhengyang’s front door.

Jiang Mingyuan offered to put Wu Zhengyang’s bicycle inside the shop, telling him to pick it up the next day.

He closed the car door and went to knock on Lin Xia’s front door.

Wu Zhengyang, head down, entered his own doorway, feeling as if he had somehow erred.

Maybe he shouldn’t have gone to eat and drink with Miao Xue and the others?

But he also had his own colleagues and social circle, was he not even allowed to do that?

Inside the house, Lin Xia and Lin Qiu were busy, one knitting a sweater, the other watching television.

Upon hearing noise outside, Lin Xia put down her knitting needles and stood up to open the door.

She tentatively called out towards the entrance, "Who’s there?"

"It’s me! Big Bro!"

Lin Xia was slightly taken aback upon hearing it was Jiang Mingyuan.

She wondered why Big Bro would come to their house at past eight o’clock.

"Big Bro! Why have you come?"

"Let’s talk inside!"

"Alright!"

Once inside, Lin Qiu hurriedly made tea for Jiang Mingyuan.

Lin Xia and Jiang Mingyuan sat on the sofa, "Big Bro! Is the restaurant busy?"

"It’s manageable!" Jiang Mingyuan said, "I came after dropping off Wu Zhengyang. He had gone to my place with some colleagues to eat and drink. I saw he looked quite drunk, so I took him home, and thought I’d come in to chat for a bit!"

"Big Bro! Was he very drunk?" Lin Qiu asked anxiously.

She hadn’t seen Wu Zhengyang after dinner and had wondered where he went; it turned out he had been drinking with colleagues. She was curious if Miao Xue was among these colleagues - she probably was.
