Xia Ruolan followed Li Wanpeng into the private room, and Li Wanpeng sat her between himself and the bald man.
This bald man was named Diao Sheng, the director of a company under the Qiao Group. His power was significant, and Li Wanpeng had always wanted to ingratiate himself with the Qiao Group. This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime for him.
Diao Sheng had heard that Li Wanpeng's wife, a teacher, was beautiful and elegant, oozing charisma and allure. This tempted him, leading him to hint to Li Wanpeng that wife-accompanied drinking should be a part of their business negotiation.
Li Wanpeng and Xia Ruolan had long lost their marital affection, and divorce was inevitable. He agreed without hesitation to offer her up in exchange for an opportunity to gain favor with the prestigious Qiao family.
During the meal, Diao Sheng immediately proposed a toast to Xia Ruolan, saying, "Teacher Xia, here's a drink to you."
"I'm sorry, I don't drink," Xia Ruolan replied.
