Chapter 396 - 392: The Relationship Must Be Open and Aboveboard
——————
Although Mr. Xie had a drinking addiction, he drank with great restraint, therefore, the Xie family always drank a little along with him.
Especially in winter, drinking some medicinal wine is even beneficial for the body!
Yan Jinsu noticed that the dishes had gone cold and that they had been drinking for over an hour, so she suggested, "Okay, you’ve drunk quite a bit now, let’s switch to the table for some tea to refresh our minds."
"Wife, go upstairs and check on Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, there’s nothing for you here." This was the first time Xie Jingchen disobeyed his wife in front of outsiders, merely lifting his glass to clink with Zhou Zhenghui opposite him—
At that moment, Zhou Zhenghui, feeling somewhat dizzy with a heavy tongue, managed to hold himself upright—a habit of his, regardless of how much he drank, he would never visibly show drunkenness in front of others.
It was only when he saw Xie Jingchen’s raised eyebrows and the unchanged expression on his face as he offered another toast, that he realized he had been foolish!
His cousin obviously intended to get him drunk; how had he not thought to pretend to be intoxicated!
Seeing her husband’s behavior, Yan Jinsu knew persuading was useless, so she could only helplessly shrug her shoulders and leave the table.
As she left, she took her mother-in-law along, "Mom, who knows how long they’ll keep drinking, let’s go sit in the living room. It’s getting late, why don’t we start by bathing the children first?"
