Peerless Genius System

Chapter 476: Got drunk

The man in the Hawaiian shirt soon realized he had gotten himself into trouble. He broke out in a cold sweat, lowering his posture, and said cringingly, “I am terribly sorry I offended you. P-please, be the bigger person... I beg you, forgive us for our rudeness this time.”

“Okay then, you can f*ck off!”

Xiang Gaoyang thundered. He’d had enough with this sort of rogues.

“Thank you, thank you... I’m leaving right now!”

The man in the Hawaiian shirt repeatedly nodded. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped from a tense situation, and ordered his men who were sprawling on the ground to leave the place quickly.

After they walked out of the bar, one of his men, indignant at being beaten up, said, “Brother Ping, are we just going to let them off after what they’ve done to us?”

“What, let them off?” the man in the Hawaiian shirt sneered.

“Huh! Do you think that even crossed my mind?” he said, “I’m contacting my cousin right away and will ask him to bring over 30 men. I will not stop until I score that chick tonight!”

“Yeah, that’s right. With your cousin giving us a helping hand, we’ll surely kill those two guys.”

“Of course! My cousin was formerly the hall master of the Dragon Gang in Jiangcheng. Once, when the Dragon Gang was still making a name for itself, he slashed his way from the dock to the customs building all by himself. He killed so many people that even the edge of his machete became blunt. If he comes, those two bast*rds are going to die for sure!”

Whenever he spoke about his cousin, the man in the Hawaiian shirt felt immensely proud. If it weren’t for his cousin backing him up, he wouldn’t have been able to recruit so many followers, nor behave like an overlord bullying whoever he wished.

...

“Pretentious d*ck, I hate you!”

Chu Yue was miserable, and she continued to sip on her cocktail to ease her broken heart. She had dearly missed Xiao Luo, and he was ever in her heart. Yet, when Chu Yue finally found him again, he did not even care that she was cozying up to someone else, which really cut deep. Chu Yue had been pining for him endlessly, and she had dearly looked forward to meeting Xiao Luo again. But when the moment finally came, it was not the outcome she had sought, and she was aggrieved and discouraged.

“Miss Chu, you’ve had enough already. No more, please. Or, you’ll get drunk. You don’t want to be carried home, right?” Xiao Luo warned her.

“Huh! It’s none of your business!”

Chu Yue was fuming, and she just carried on drinking. It was evident that she was going to get herself drunk.

Xiao Luo looked at Xiang Gaoyang and his colleague. “Gentlemen, are you just going to stand by and do nothing?” he said.

Xiang Gaoyang sheepishly gave him a wry smile. Of course, they wanted to stop her, but they both knew that Miss Chu was throwing a tantrum now. If they dared to say anything, it would be nothing short of suicide.

“Mr. Xiao, could you please help us to persuade her?”

Xiang Gaoyang handed the challenging task of convincing their young mistress to Xiao Luo. Smiling and justifying his request, he said, “Miss Chu only listens to you.”

Chu Yue curled her lips in defiance. “What nonsense! I hardly visit a bar... I will drink my fill! Don’t you guys try to prevent me!” she slurred. Her cheeks turned red after consuming a fair amount of drinks, and her eyes looked a little unfocused.

Xiao Luo looked at her, somewhat agitated. “You want an answer, right?” he asked.

In response, Chu Yue did not speak but only pouted her lips and looked at him ruefully.

“Okay. Let me tell you then—I’m already married. That’s my answer, so are you satisfied?” Xiao Luo said. He then showed the ring on the third finger of his left hand to Chu Yue.

He was married?

Chu Yue, Xiang Gaoyang, Xiang Gaojian react to his revelation in shock—even Guan Tong was stunned since no one ever thought Xiao Luo was married.

“I don’t believe it! You... you’re just bluffing me, aren’t you? Yes, you must be lying to me!” Chu Yue cried. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Why should I lie to you?”

Xiao Luo shook his head and said, “Sorry, but I’m not so silly as to do that.”

He decisively cut off Chu Yue’s affections. She deserved a man who would love and dote on her, and it wasn’t going to be him.

“No way, how could you get married? Don’t tell me that...”

“Yup, I just got married this year,” Xiao Luo interjected.

Chu Yue’s body was quaking as she fought back the tears. She crinkled her nose as the tears she struggled to hold back flowed from her eyes. She hadn’t expected that it would turn out like this. To think that he was now married, how could this pretentious d*ck get married, how could he get married?

At that moment, all the joy of finally meeting Xiao Luo again was gone. How she imagined it would turn out, and suddenly, all her expectations burst like bubbles... Her heart was hollow with nothing left inside. She was left with an emptiness that felt like she had just lost a very precious thing.

“Waiter, give me a drink! I need a drink... give me a drink now!” Chu Yue screamed at the young bartender in frustration.

“What kind of wine do you want, Miss?” the bartender asked.

Chu Yue slurred, “Give me the strongest one... I’m gonna get drunk. Hurry up!”

The trip to Xiahai City did not yield any silver linings but instead, only hurt her deeply. Chu Yue’s head was spinning in a daze.

The bartender didn’t dare to go against her wishes. Still, when he saw Xiao Luo and Xiang Gaoyang’s glaring eyes, he immediately took a bottle of red wine with low alcoholic content.

Chu Yue downed glass after glass of the wine in deep sorrow. Actually, she wasn’t a good drinker and even hated the bitter taste of alcohol, but right now, she just wanted to get drunk, with a hope that what she heard was only a dream.

“Miss, you can’t drink anymore.” Xiang Gaoyang felt compelled to speak out.

“Leave me alone! Let me drink, or I’ll tell Father to fire you!” Chu Yue screamed as she pushed Xiang Gaoyang away.

Xiang Gaoyang could only turn to Xiao Luo for help. “Mr. Xiao, please do me a favor,” he pleaded.

His tone was slightly more urgent. After all, it was because of Xiao Luo that Miss Chu had behaved this way, so whether he liked it or not, Xiao Luo had to share some responsibility.

Looking at Chu Yue, already in a state of drunken stupor, Xiao Luo took her glass away and said, “There’s no need to humiliate yourself.”

“That’s my prerogative! Let me alone!”

Chu Yue screamed at him with tears flowing down her face, and Xiao Luo could detect the strong smell of alcohol from her breath. Suddenly, Chu Yue grabbed the bottle of wine and started taking swigs from it.

Well, just let her get it out of her system, and time will heal, he thought. It was the immediate pain that really hurt, and she’d get over it.

Xiao Luo sighed in his heart and gave up trying to stop her anymore.

Even Guan Tong couldn’t stand it anymore. “Xiao Luo, you bast*rd, how could you hurt a girl who liked you so much? Lightning will strike you!” he scowled.

Xiang Gaoyang and Xiang Gaojian totally agreed with him and nodded unconsciously.

“So what do you mean? I should lie to her and give her hope?” Xiao Luo retorted. He was speechless.

Guan Tong frowned. “Of course not, but you can’t do this either. It’s so cruel,” he said.

Xiao Luo grinned. Even if it seemed cruel to her now, there’s no other way. What else could he do? Say that he liked her too? He had not even gotten out of the mess with Siying yet, and he wouldn’t allow himself another episode with the likes of Chu Yue.

Although the red wine’s alcohol content was low, for someone like Chu Yue, who couldn’t drink, it was still potent stuff.

After she finished the bottle of red wine, Chu Yue fell asleep drunk on the bar counter. Her cheeks were red under the light, like a ripe apple, and there were still traces of tears on her face, which was a pitiful sight.

“Where’s your car?” Xiao Luo asked Xiang Gaoyang.

“Carry her away.”

“Well....”

Xiang Gaoyang was a little reluctant as they were bodyguards, and he felt it was not proper to do that. It seemed a bit too intimate to him.

“Mr. Xiao, please help us carry her to the car,” Xiang Gaojian pleaded.

Xiao Luo understood their apprehensions and decided to assist them.
