Xia Weiyang's eyes turned cold.
Xia Weiyang was prepared to fight back no matter what happened. She would not let Xia Ningyan and Lu Ziyin abuse her again.
She would not let her past come back to haunt her.
Is it Xia Ningyan who continues to love you deeply, or regret.
She was prepared to teach Xia Ningyan a lesson.
Xia Weiyang finally took the menu and ordered the food she wanted to eat.
In a short while, all the dishes they ordered were served one after the other.
"Miss Xia Weiyang, welcome to our big family. We would like to honor you with a toast," a handsome young man said as he stood up with a wine glass in his hand.
Immediately, the others also stood up and raised their wine glasses. Some of them teased Xia Weiyang and asked her to join in their toast.
"Stop it. Xia Weiyang doesn't know how to drink." Lu Ziyin stood up and looked at the noisy group of people with a stern expression on his face. He gently stood beside Xia Weiyang.
"Look! The boss is very protective of his wife!"
"Everyone must drink!"
"Yes, we should all drink! If our boss doesn't want his wife to drink, then he should drink on her behalf!"
...
"Don't be mad at us, sir. We just want Xia Weiyang to drink with us," one of the hecklers said.
"That's right. You should drink with us, Xia Weiyang!"
"Come on..."
Suddenly, the other people in the private room joined in and teased Xia Weiyang.
The scene inside the private room would have been a very touching and entertaining moment for a person who was truly happy to be part of the company. For Xia Weiyang, however...
She looked at the cheering people around her with a serious expression on her face.
Then, she picked up her wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Everyone was shocked by her actions.
Instantly, everyone stopped talking and looked at Lu Ziyin.
Everyone felt a bit awkward at that moment.
Lu Ziyin was also startled by what Xia Weiyang did. However, he suddenly flashed a wide smile on his face. "Well, it seems I was wrong about you. That's okay. Welcome to the company, Xia Weiyang. Congratulations!"
Lu Ziyin then raised his glass. "If you don't mind, we should drink again."
"Sure." Xia Weiyang filled her glass with wine and drank it all again in one sip.
The other people started cheering Xia Weiyang. One by one, they started making up excuses to toast Xia Weiyang so she would drink again.
Although Xia Weiyang only drank two glasses of wine, her small face had already turned red.
Feeling a little dizzy, Xia Weiyang raised her hand and touched her forehead.
"Xia Weiyang, come and drink another glass. I wish..."
"I really can't drink anymore," Xia Weiyang said while holding her forehead. Her vision was starting to get blurry.
"Are you drunk already? We should drink some more!" another person said as he poured wine into the glass that Xia Weiyang was holding.
Xia Weiyang's face darkened.
As the glass she was holding started to fill up with wine, it became heavier. Suddenly, Xia Weiyang lost her grip on the glass, spilling the wine all over the dress of the woman sitting beside her.
"Aiyo! I'm sorry! I've dirtied your clothes. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xia Weiyang looked apologetic.
She then grabbed a few sheets of tissue paper and wiped the woman's dress. "This isn't working. I think you need to wash it with water. Why don't I go with you to the washroom so we can clean your dress properly?"
Xia Weiyang took it as an opportunity to leave the room since the people inside were already starting to get rowdy.
Even Lu Ziyin lost his gentle demeanor that night.
He was starting to behave the way that he did three years ago.
Xia Weiyang regretted attending the gathering.
She then stood up and prepared to leave the table.
Suddenly, Lu Ziyin stood up and approached her.
