The car seemed to go crazy, flying out and scaring the two rows of security guards, who fled in panic, while Qiao Yushan, standing in front of the second-floor window, watched with mixed emotions.
She didn't understand why her grandfather was forcing her like this. Was she, his own granddaughter, really inferior to Su Han? What was so great about him anyway?
Qiao Yushan knew that her sister was now deliberately trying to teach Su Han a lesson. She had wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, she decided to let Yuman go ahead—it would be good to get some revenge on her behalf.
Qiao Yuman acted like a demon king, the stereo in the car booming as she stepped on the gas pedal rhythmically, her eccentric attire making her look like a true gangster girl.
Su Han sat in the passenger seat, motionless, just frowning slightly. In the car, he sensed something was off.
His eyes swept around a little, and Su Han quickly noticed something. A smirk crossed his lips, but he said nothing.
"I can't believe you actually have an engagement with my sister," Qiao Yuman hummed a tune, glanced at Su Han, and said indifferently, "You really scored a big deal!"
Su Han just smiled, still not speaking.
He knew that whatever he said, Qiao Yushan's words were thorny, just meant to provoke him, so it was better to keep quiet.
Seeing that Su Han didn't respond, Qiao Yushan found it boring, huffed, and sped up to a nightclub's entrance.
She got out of the car, and a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes as she suddenly took Su Han's arm affectionately and said cheerily, "Come on, brother-in-law, let me take you around the nightclub!"
Saying so, without asking for permission and not allowing Su Han a chance to refuse, she pulled him into the nightclub.
The moment they entered the nightclub, the dazzling lights made Su Han's eyes blur, and he instinctively raised his hand to shield them. Seeing this, Qiao Yushan scoffed and laughed lightly, "Jeez, so outdated. Never been to a nightclub?"
How could such a man, who had never even been to a nightclub, be worthy of her sister?
Qiao Yushan didn't care about Su Han and walked into the nightclub as if it were her own home, heading straight for a familiar private room.
Su Han shook his head, wanting to say something but still didn't speak. What could he say now? Qiao Yushan had said she was just taking him out, and if he refused to leave now, the girl would probably get mad.
He followed Qiao Yushan into the private room, where the noisy sound almost deafened him.
Cigarettes, beer, and several glamorously dressed women were accompanying a few young men who looked no older than high school students. When they saw Qiao Yushan come in, they all started shouting.
"Yuman, you're finally here!"
"Come on, our goddess Yuman is late, you definitely need to drink a lot for that!"
Qiao Yushan ignored Su Han and walked straight to the sofa. She gestured with her mouth and a flamboyantly dressed woman immediately moved away, letting her take the seat.
Qiao Yushan sat down with a carefree sprawl and picked up the bottle on the table, "Haha, being late naturally calls for a drink. Is one bottle enough?"
"Not enough! With your capacity, you need at least three bottles. It's Wu Hongwei's birthday today; how could you be late?" a few people jeered, urging Qiao Yushan to drink. "Three bottles! It definitely has to be three bottles. You've got to maintain your reputation as our goddess Yuman, right?"
Seeing someone had already opened three bottles of alcohol and placed them in front of Qiao Yushan, Su Han's brow furrowed slightly.
Qiao Yushan was still a student, not yet of legal age, and they dared to let her drink like this?
This had been severely damaging to her body, he didn't even know how long Qiao Yuman had been living like this. Did Qiao Yushan really not care?
"Yuman, you're still young, don't drink so much alcohol,"
Su Han spoke up, looking at Qiao Yuman earnestly, "Drinking so much is bad for your health, being young isn't an excuse to indulge yourself."
As soon as he spoke, the entire private room fell silent, a fashionably dressed man turned off the music, tilted his head back, his thick eyebrows raised, glancing at Su Han before turning to Qiao Yuman and asking, "Yuman, who is this guy?"
All eyes landed on Su Han, who looked out of place with his unfashionable dress and the disdain evident on his face.
"This? This is my brother-in-law. Though he didn't graduate from university, he's now an intern doctor in the Qiao family," Qiao Yuman pursed her lips, casually introducing him.
Her tone was full of disdain; she was completely unsatisfied with her brother-in-law. Bringing him here was merely to let her friends properly humiliate the guy!
To make him realize the gap between him and her sister and to give up early!
Qiao Yuman snorted, and the others immediately understood, especially when they heard that he hadn't even graduated from university; a few people began to laugh.
They were also surprised, how could someone like him, who hadn't even finished college and needed connections to find a job, be Qiao Yuman's brother-in-law?
That must be a joke, for who didn't know that Qiao Yushan, the elder among the beautiful Qiao sisters, was a paragon of beauty, an exalted goddess pursued by many, how could she possibly fancy such an unremarkable man?
"Hey brother-in-law, do you know how much a bottle of the wine here costs?" a man stood up, smiling yet appearing unfriendly.
He picked up a bottle from the table, gently tapped it with his finger, "Your annual intern salary might just barely cover it."
As soon as he said that, the others burst into laughter.
"Wu Hongwei, how can you say that? After all, he's Yuman's brother-in-law. Let her sister give him some pocket money, and drinking a couple of bottles will be no big deal, right?" Hearing Wu Hongwei deliberately humiliating Su Han, others chimed in as well.
Meanwhile, Qiao Yuman sat there, not moving at all. Although it was uncomfortable to hear them mention her sister, she said nothing in order to teach Su Han a lesson.
Su Han glanced at the man, furrowed his brows slightly, and chose to ignore him.
Money? For him, it was just a number; if he wanted to make money, countless people were willing to offer it to him willingly.
He looked back at Qiao Yuman and continued, "Yuman, your sister will worry if you drink so recklessly outside. It's better to head back early."
"Hey hey, what do you mean by that? Yuman is our friend, I invited her here, and you say to let her leave just like that?" Wu Hongwei snorted, walked up to Su Han, poked his chest with a finger, looking down at Su Han disdainfully, "You can't afford the alcohol here, just leave!"
There was a flash of coldness in Su Han's eyes as he watched the finger poking his chest, and he said calmly, "Take your finger away."
Wu Hongwei sneered with scorn, "Yo, getting angry? You threatening me? Oh, Yuman's brother-in-law is so scary!"
He exaggerated his expression intentionally, causing the others in the room to burst into laughter, mocking Su Han even further, each seemingly eager to step on him, to humiliate this underqualified and connection-dependent bumpkin.
"Let me tell you, someone like you, even if you strive your whole life, you won't even catch up to the starting point of any of us here. Kid, you need to be aware of your own limits!" Wu Hongwei squinted his eyes, looking at Su Han with disdain.
