Chapter 248: An Encounter?
Yang Xinxin gently nudged Qiao Jingyu's arm with her elbow and said coquettishly, "Hey, look, Mr. Jiang has already drank this glass of wine so readily. If you don't drink it, you will be really disrespecting Mr. Jiang!"
Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger when she heard this, but she still tried to hold back her anger. She glared at Yang Xinxin fiercely, her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire. She closed her eyes tightly, raised her head, and poured all the wine in the glass into her mouth in one breath.
After drinking, Qiao Jingyu didn't even wait for Yang Xinxin to speak again, she quickly stood up and said: "Sorry, everyone, you guys take your time eating, I'm going to the bathroom." After saying that, she staggered towards the bathroom.
Yang Xinxin looked at Qiao Jingyu's face, which had turned as pale as paper due to the alcohol, and her slightly flustered back. The corners of her mouth could not help but slightly rise, revealing a sly smirk. She was secretly proud of herself: Humph, this Qiao Jingyu usually pretends to be a saint, but in fact, she can't drink at all. As long as she drinks a little, she will be drunk and unconscious immediately. When the time comes, let's see how she can maintain her noble and reserved attitude in front of everyone! Thinking of this, Yang Xinxin couldn't wait to see Qiao Jingyu's embarrassing appearance after returning from the bathroom later.
Qiao Jingyu finally stumbled into the bathroom. As soon as she entered, she felt a terrible stomachache. She rushed to the sink and held the sink tightly with both hands, trying to keep herself steady. But the nausea became stronger and stronger, making her want to vomit but unable to vomit. This feeling was worse than death!
At this moment, Qiao Jingyu suddenly remembered the promise she made to Duan Yuchen that she would never drink again from now on. But tonight... Alas, she sighed helplessly. Originally, she had specially prepared the super effective snow abdominal muscle cream tonight and sent it back to Duan Yuchen. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen, and now all the plans were disrupted. And what's worse is that if Duan Yuchen knew that she broke her promise and secretly drank, he would definitely be angry, right?
Qiao Jingyu leaned against the sink, her body seemed to have lost support. She originally planned to take out her phone and call Duan Yuchen to ask him what he was doing, but when she actually took out her phone, she was shocked to find that she didn't even have Duan Yuchen's phone number. Every time she contacted Duan Yuchen, she would communicate through Feng Bo. Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little lost and frustrated, and her mood instantly became a little depressed. Helplessly, she had to slowly put the phone back into her pocket.
Qiao Jingyu gently scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face, trying to sober herself up. The moment the cold water touched her skin, it brought a brief chill, which cheered her up a little. She took a deep breath, tidied her slightly messy hair, and turned around to return to the box. However, just as she stepped out of the sink, suddenly, a strong feeling of dizziness came over her like a tidal wave. She felt the world in front of her began to spin wildly, and her feet felt soft and weak as if she was stepping on cotton, and her whole body was shaky. If she hadn't been quick-eyed and quick-handed, and reached out in time to grab the edge of the sink next to her, she would have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.
"Oh, oh no! How could I be so drunk..." Qiao Jingyu secretly complained in her heart. Not only was her head dizzy, but she also felt as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer and was in unbearable pain. Even her legs were completely out of control, as if they were no longer part of her body. This feeling of being out of control after being drunk was really uncomfortable.
After barely stabilizing herself, Qiao Jingyu realized that it was impossible for her to return to the box in her current state. Not to mention whether she could maintain her normal demeanor, Yang Xinxin, who had ulterior motives, might have set a trap for her to fall into! However, if she just left without saying goodbye, it would seem too rude. After all, they were all friends, and such behavior would inevitably be criticized.
After careful consideration, Qiao Jingyu finally decided to leave this place first. So, she took out her cell phone from her pocket with trembling hands again and dialed Xiaogang's number. After the call was connected, she told Xiaogang that she had an urgent matter and needed to leave first, and then she hung up the phone in a hurry after a few simple instructions.
After the call ended, Qiao Jingyu tried to move her feet, which seemed to be filled with lead, and staggered towards the bathroom. Every step she took was extremely difficult for her, as if the entire corridor was shaking and twisting. But despite this, she still gritted her teeth and persisted, slowly and firmly moving towards the exit.
When she was about to reach the stairs, someone suddenly grabbed her arm. Qiao Jingyu turned around and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Mubai frowned at the drunk Qiao Jingyu, "Why are you so drunk? Where's your uncle?"
Qiao Jingyu didn't reply to Jiang Mubai's words. Her blurry eyes fell on him. "I have a good taste. It looks really good on you."
Jiang Mubai's mouth curled up slightly. He took a look and saw that what he was wearing today was exactly the jeans and sweatshirt that Qiao Jingyu had chosen that day. "Does it really look good?"
Qiao Jingyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "It looks good, very good, but..."
"But what?"
Qiao Jingyu burped, and the smell of alcohol stung her nose, making her feel uncomfortable. She frowned slightly, and after a while she said, "But she's not as good-looking as Third Brother!"
The smile on Jiang Mubai's face faded instantly. The next second, he looked at Qiao Jingyu with disdain and said, "What a superficial woman."
Qiao Jingyu pushed Jiang Mubai away and said, "Okay, I'm superficial, so stay away from me." After saying that, she leaned against the wall and was about to go down the stairs.
Jiang Mubai chased after her and held Qiao Jingyu's arm again, "I'll take you home."
Qiao Jingyu struggled, "Who asked you to take me back? I don't want to take your car."
Jiang Mubai didn't let go and helped Qiao Jingyu down the stairs. "With you like this, I won't let you sit even if you want to."
Qiao Jingyu curled her lips in disdain, "Humph! Who cares!"
When Yang Xinxin heard Xiaogang say that Qiao Jingyu had left first because of something, she hurriedly chased after her. She finally had the chance to get Qiao Jingyu drunk, so how could she let her go so easily?
Yang Xinxin walked out of the box and looked in the bathroom. There was no sign of Qiao Jingyu. She came out again to look for her and saw Jiang Mubai helping Qiao Jingyu down the stairs.
Why is Jiang Mubai here? Is this a coincidence?
Yang Xinxin didn't have time to think about it, she ran over in a few steps, and then with an elegant smile on her face, "Mu Bai, you are here too?"
Jiang Mubai heard someone calling him, looked up and saw it was Yang Xinxin, then looked away, without saying a word, he supported Qiao Jingyu and continued to go downstairs.
Qiao Jingyu's consciousness was a little confused at this time. She just wanted to sleep now, and didn't care whether she was going down the stairs or not. Her legs went weak. Fortunately, Jiang Mubai supported her waist in time, otherwise she would have rolled down.
