#81 - Chapter 81: Sleep at Xu Mengyao’s house tonight!

"Qianqian, your mom and dad are going to offer a toast. Be good and eat your meal. We'll be back soon," Lin Chen said to Lin Xiaoqian.

"Okay, okay," Lin Xiaoqian nodded.

After asking the people next to them to keep an eye on her, Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao started toasting with their wine glasses.

Lin Chen didn't really enjoy alcohol, but it was a common fixture at adult meals. Otherwise, everyone would just eat and finish quickly.

Talk business?

Build relationships?

They might finish eating before even getting started.

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Liang, Lin Chen and I toast to you, wishing you good health and all the best," Xu Mengyao said with a smile.

Zhao Jingshou and his wife were the main guests, so they had to be toasted first.

"Mengyao, Xiao Lin, thank you," Zhao Jingshou said with a smile.

Liang Chunhua said, "Xiao Lin, don't forget to invite us to the wedding."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "Aunt Liang, don't worry. Mengyao and I will definitely invite you when we have our wedding."

Time passed, and Lin Chen drank a lot of wine.

Xu Mengyao was much better off.

She was drinking red wine, so she only needed to take small sips each time.

By the time Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao had finished toasting everyone they needed to, Lin Chen had drunk at least eight or nine taels of white wine.

But he only felt slightly tipsy.

He was still far from being drunk.

Lin Chen estimated that his alcohol tolerance was probably around two or three jin now.

"Xiao Lin, you have a good capacity for alcohol!"

"President Xu, I'd like to propose another toast. Perhaps our two companies can cooperate in many areas in the future," Zheng Qingshan said as he approached.

He had a good alcohol tolerance, but like Lin Chen, he had drunk a lot, and he was already a bit tipsy.

"President Zheng, you're too kind," Lin Chen said, and he and Zheng Qingshan drank another glass.

After finishing, Zheng Qingshan found another reason to drink with Lin Chen.

Soon, Zheng Xu also came over.

After drinking with Zheng Xu, Xu Mengyao leaned close to Lin Chen and whispered, "Lin Chen, don't drink anymore. The Zheng family wants you to get drunk and embarrass yourself."

"You've already drunk more than half a kilogram."

Lin Chen turned his head. Xu Mengyao was stunned. Their eyes met, and they were only about ten centimeters apart. They could feel each other's breath.

"You...you shouldn't drink anymore," Xu Mengyao said, quickly pulling away slightly.

"I also want them to drink more. If they drink too much, even if they don't say it, their eyes will change. We can tell if they are friends or foes," Lin Chen whispered.

After speaking, he picked up his glass, grabbed the wine divider, and stood up.

It's impolite not to reciprocate.

Weren't Zheng Qingshan and his son trying to get him drunk? He would give them the chance, as long as they had the ability.

They had deep schemes, making it difficult to glimpse their true thoughts. A wine party like this was a good opportunity.

"President Zheng, I also have to apologize to you."

"Actually, at the beginning, I...I had some misunderstandings about you—"

Lin Chen deliberately slurred his words.

He found a reason to drink three glasses with Zheng Qingshan.

After three consecutive glasses, even if each glass was only twenty-five grams, Zheng Qingshan felt a bit dizzy.

He could drink more if he drank slowly.

Drinking quickly was a bit too much to handle.

He still had a smile on his face, but Lin Chen noticed that Zheng Qingshan's gaze towards him was somewhat cold.

"The Zheng family harbors evil intentions," Lin Chen thought to himself.

"President Zheng...I can only drink this much. In...in the future, if there's a chance, I'll drink with you again."

"No problem," Zheng Qingshan said with a smile.

The look in his eyes towards Lin Chen was still cold.

It was difficult for others to see clearly, but Lin Chen was looking directly into Zheng Qingshan's eyes, and he could see it clearly.

Zheng Qingshan's eyes felt like he wanted to stab him.

The Xu family had hundreds of billions in wealth, while the Zheng family only had a few billion. The Zheng family wanted to swallow the Xu family, but Xu Mengyao had actually married Lin Chen, and their plan had failed.

"Dad, don't drink anymore."

"I'm very worried about you," Lin Xiaoqian said, hugging Lin Chen's arm.

"Okay, okay, Dad won't drink anymore."

"Xiaoqian, you're doing great! You haven't been noisy, and you've finished all your food," Lin Chen said with a smile.

He had gotten the result he wanted, so there was no need to drink anymore.

Zheng Qingshan and his son probably wouldn't dare to come again. Their alcohol tolerance was good, but they were also reaching their limit.

Half an hour later, the dinner ended.

Everyone bid farewell and left, and Lin Chen and his family did the same.

Xu Mengyao called Liang Ye over to drive.

"President, are we going to the Ziyuan neighborhood?" Liang Ye asked.

Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen. "Lin Chen, are you going to my place? You've drunk a lot of wine and it's not suitable for you to take care of Qianqian tonight. I've also drunk wine, so I'm not suitable either."

"Sure," Lin Chen said with a smile.

He hadn't been inside Xu Mengyao's villa yet.

"Dad, I'll take you to my room!"

"My room has a slide!" Lin Xiaoqian's eyes lit up.

"Okay, Xiaoqian, you can give me a tour later."

"Okay!"

Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen with some concern. "Lin Chen, you've probably drunk close to one and a half jin of wine. Are you okay?"

Lin Chen shook his head. "I'm fine."

…

Inside Zheng Qingshan's old A6, the father and son were sitting in the back row, and their driver was driving.

"Dad, Lin Chen's alcohol tolerance is probably better than ours."

"Even with the two of us drinking with him, he still didn't get completely drunk," Zheng Xu said, rubbing his temples.

He felt dizzy all over.

Zheng Qingshan said, "Son, it's impossible for you and Xu Mengyao to be together."

"I know," Zheng Xu nodded.

"Lin Chen is not that simple."

"It's a pity we didn't find out what his background is," Zheng Qingshan said.

He knew Lin Chen wasn't simple from the first time they met.

Ordinary people would be very restrained in this kind of situation. Even if they were lucky enough to marry Xu Mengyao, it would be difficult for them to change.

But Lin Chen didn't seem restrained at all.

"Dad, we'll have people investigate when the time comes," Zheng Xu said. "My head is so dizzy, I need to rest for a while."

Zheng Qingshan closed his eyes.

His alcohol tolerance was better, but he was also feeling dizzy.

Forty minutes later, Liang Ye drove to Xu Mengyao's large villa.

Her villa had an area of over a thousand square meters. In a place like Modu, a villa like this would definitely cost over a hundred million.

However, Xu Mengyao's family used to be in the real estate business, so they probably didn't spend that much money before.

"Sister Ping, all of you come here for a moment," Xu Mengyao called all four of her nannies over.

Her villa was too big, and fewer nannies wouldn't be able to take care of everything.

"His name is Lin Chen. He's my husband and also Qianqian's father. You can call him Mr. Lin," Xu Mengyao introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Lin," the four nannies said in unison.

Lin Chen nodded. "Hello."

Lin Xiaoqian said excitedly, "Dad, let me down. I'll take you upstairs. My room is very pretty!"

Lin Chen put Lin Xiaoqian down.

Soon, the two of them took the elevator upstairs.

Lin Xiaoqian looked at her room, then looked at Xu Mengyao's room. Xu Mengyao's room was opposite hers.

"Dad, come in," Lin Xiaoqian said, entering Xu Mengyao's room.

Lin Chen followed her in.

He was a little puzzled. This didn't seem like a child's room.

"Dad, you'll sleep in this room tonight," Lin Xiaoqian said with a giggle.
