Chapter 21: The Drunken Agreement

  "For the past two years, have you been looking for someone? I can help you find him!" Xu Shaoyan said with confidence as he looked at Mo Wei - this "transaction" that would benefit both parties, surely this woman wouldn't refuse? Besides, he had already sent people to investigate and knew how important the person Mo Wei was secretly searching for was to her.

  "Oh? You'd better tell me, who am I looking for?" Mo Wei asked casually, but her mind was secretly thinking: How did Xu Shaoyan know that she was looking for someone? This matter wasn't even mentioned to Cheng Ziyuan!

  "Shi Yixin, from Hengyang, Hunan Province, your ex-boyfriend, left Baishui City two years ago without saying goodbye and has had no contact since. So, you've been looking for him..." Xu Shaoyan gazed directly into Mo Wei's eyes, speaking lightly, "Your parents looked down on his rural origins, he didn't have a prestigious family background or a bright future, so they firmly opposed your relationship. He felt disrespected and humiliated, and left in anger..."

  "That's enough!" The pain that had been buried in her heart for a long time was suddenly seen through, and a nameless anger surged up in Mo Wei's heart. She glared at Xu Shao Yan with discontent and asked angrily, "You investigated me?"

  "I can help you find him!" Xu Shaoyan did not directly respond to Mo Wei's accusation, but instead answered a different question - shouldn't she believe him? After all, with the vast financial resources and extensive connections of the "Tiancheng Group", finding someone would be as easy as turning one's hand over!

  It's really true that the rich are arrogant and take things for granted! Are all wealthy people like this? They think they can do anything and speak loudly without feeling ashamed!

  Mo Wei gave Xu Shao Yan a disdainful glance, then ignored him and continued drinking wine with an air of calmness. However, the wound in her heart that had just scabbed over was opened again, bleeding profusely and throbbing with pain - Shi Yi Xin, where are you?

  After finishing the Bloody Mary, Mo Wei ordered another rum, the strong flavor of which almost made her cry. After downing a glass of liquor, her stomach suddenly felt like it was on fire. For some reason, she again had the idea to get drunk - only in this way could she stop thinking and feeling pain; only in this way could she temporarily forget that man who had abandoned her; only in this way could she exchange for a night of beautiful dreams, allowing her thoughts to spread without any worries or regrets.

  Mo Wei didn't want to bother with Xu Shao Yan anymore, so she turned her head and smiled sweetly at Xu Chen, saying: "Mr. Xu, you're treating us tonight, right?"

  Xu Chen nodded with a gentlemanly demeanor and said: "Of course! Being able to invite Miss Mo for a drink is my honor!"

  "Well, in that case, I won't be polite! " Mo Wei smiled and turned to the waiter inside the counter, "Bring a bottle of Chivas Regal here, the best one!"

  After a while, Mo Wei drank two more large cups of Hennesy, and Xu Chen looked at her with his tongue out. To know that Hennesy is a brandy, and it's one of the world's eight strongest spirits along with rum. This woman not only mixed these two kinds of liquor together to drink but also drank them so quickly! It was really bold!

  "Miss Mo should slow down a bit, or she'll get drunk easily!" Xǔ Chēn finally couldn't help but advise her.

  "Afraid I'll drink you poor? Don't worry, my drinking capacity is not good... No, I won't drink much!" Mo Wei said with a pout, propping her head up with her left hand and turning to look at Xu Chen.

  Three cups of strong liquor had gone down her throat, and Mo Wei already had a slight drunken intention. Her face was flushed, her eyes were hazy, and her red lips were as tempting as cherries. Xu Chen looked at her with a slightly lost soul, and suddenly had an urge to kiss those cherry-like lips! Afraid that he would do something "stupid" unintentionally, Xu Chen quickly turned his head away and continued drinking by himself, no longer daring to look at Mo Wei.

  "Besides, if I get drunk, Yicong will come to pick me up!" After drinking, Mo Wei's words became more and more, seeing Xu Chen's small temper not wanting to talk to her, she turned her head again to mutter to Xu Shao Yan, "If Yicong comes to pick me up, you...you can see her, right?"

  Xu Shaoyan nodded in agreement: "That's right! So, Miss Mo, don't be polite, have a few more cups!" After that, he poured another full cup of wine for Mo Wei.

  Only to see, Mo Wei "gulp gulp" a few mouthfuls finished a full cup of wine, then heavily placed the cup on the bar, propping up her increasingly heavy head with her hand. She turned back to Xu Shao Yan and said: "Hey... you just said you could help me... find Shi Yi Xin, is that true?!"

  "Of course it's true! As long as you're willing to help me catch up with Cheng Zhiyi, I'll definitely help you find him! —— Xu Shaoyan has never lied!" Xu Shaoyan hastened to say solemnly.

  It turns out that Mo Wei had been ignoring him just now, and he thought his carefully planned "love transaction" was going to fall through. Unexpectedly, Mo Wei brought it up again, so of course he happily agreed, only lacking a contract for Mo Wei to sign and seal!

  "Alright!" Mo Wei nodded heavily and said with a smile, "Since you like Zhi Yi so much, I'll help you! But you must help me catch that stinky man Shi Yi Xin...I want to confront him face-to-face and ask him why he left me!"

  As she spoke to the sad part, Mo Wei suddenly lay on the bar and started crying, sobbing and muttering: "Coward... huh, can't you be a man... I hate you, I hate you all... What's wrong with Xi Yin..."

  "Ah——so, this woman wasn't really a heavy drinker, but was just pretending to be! She clearly couldn't handle her liquor, yet she insisted on drinking so hastily. As a result, she ended up getting herself drunk in an instant."

  Xu Chen shook his head helplessly, then complained to Xu Shao Yan: "You're also too heartless, for your own selfish desires, you actually got the beauty drunk. You should know that contracts signed while drunk are against the person's will and don't count!"

  "What a selfish desire! This is a mutually beneficial and loving relationship that complements each other! I've really done a great deed... Besides, she's just speaking the truth after drinking...” Xǔ Shǎoyàn said with a pleased expression, while stretching out his hand to wake up Mò Wēi, then handing her his mobile phone. "Miss Mò, Miss Mò, hurry up and call Zhīyī to come pick you up!"

  Mo Wei snatched the phone from Xu Shao Yan's hand and dialed a familiar number without hesitation: "Hello, woman... it's me, I'm Wei Wei... uh..."

  Xu Shaoyan snatched the phone from Mo Wei's hand, a sly smile spreading across his face as his thick, black eyebrows rose slightly: "Hello, I'm Xu Shaoyan. Miss Mo is drunk, you'd better come pick her up... We're at the Enchanting Bar... 88 Nanjin Lane..."
