Chapter 718: Brothers Turned Enemies

“Hmph!” Zhao Ping forcefully shook off his hand, turned around, and sat back in his seat, his face now an unnatural shade of crimson.

The people around noticed this and instinctively distanced themselves from him.

Zhao Ping’s alcohol tolerance was actually quite average, but he had a strong personality, and such remarks were absolutely intolerable to him. Hence, no one dared to directly point it out, and could only silently move away to avoid getting involved in any potential trouble.

The Zhao family wasn’t considered extremely wealthy or prominent, but they still held some weight in their circle.

However, Li Zhen didn’t really regard him highly, busy arranging for the waiter to start dealing the next round of cards.

Mei Shu was initially feeling a bit dizzy, but as someone endowed with the system, just two glasses of red wine had already increased her alcohol tolerance level by three grades. This showed that the wine indeed had a potent kick. Now even if she drank dozens more glasses, it shouldn’t be a problem.

However, what surprised her was that Li Zhen’s alcohol tolerance was also quite good. At least after that one glass of wine, he didn’t seem to lose control of his emotions like Zhao Ping did.

Seeming to sense Mei Shu’s inquisitive gaze, Li Zhen also sneakily observed her out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that she didn’t seem drunk at all, he was relieved.

During this round of card viewing, Li Zhen proactively suggested reverting to the previous game rule of revealing cards together to save time.

The threat in Zhao Ping’s eyes was barely concealed, but Li Zhen ignored it.

Everyone laid their cards open, and Zhao Ping had extremely bad luck, once again becoming the last one. He was so angry that he directly threw his cards, and if the table wasn’t too heavy, Mei Shu had no doubt he would have flipped it.

“Damn it!” He complained as soon as he spoke, “Everything is against me! I’m done playing! B*stards!”

Li Zhen’s face also darkened, “Who are you cursing?”

“You know who I was cursing!” Zhao Ping’s alcohol-induced impulsivity made him speak without thinking.

Li Zhen slammed the bottle of wine on the ground, striding angrily towards him, and tensions escalated in an instant.

Kang Wei hurriedly intervened to mediate, “Don’t get too worked up, it’s not a big deal. Let’s not play this anymore. Let’s play something else. We’re all brothers, there’s no need to fight over a woman!”

” Who the hell is fighting for her?” This time, it was Li Zhen who lost his temper.

Zhao Ping, seeing his appearance, couldn’t help but laugh, “You said you don’t like her, but now you’re starting to forget your friends for a woman. Can’t you see that I’m interested in her?”

Li Zhen’s chest heaved with anger, his face flushing red, whether from being drunk or something else, “Stop talking nonsense! I don’t like her. She’s just a b*tch! If it wasn’t for my brother, I wouldn’t have brought her here. I wish I never had to see her in my life!”

Zhao Ping smirked, bypassed him, and walked over to Mei Shu’s side, resting his hand on the table in front of her, coaxing her with a sidelong glance, “Did you hear that? Li Zhen said he doesn’t like you at all. You’d better come with me. I promise to treat you well, and you won’t suffer.”

“Zhao Ping!”

Before Mei Shu could respond, Li Zhen rushed forward with red eyes, grabbed his collar, and pushed him aside, “I warned you not to get close to her! You have no idea who she is!”

“She’s just your high school classmate, isn’t she?” Zhao Ping disregarded his warning, his tone increasingly mocking, “I have plenty of money, so I can play with this kind of chick whenever I want!”

“Zhao Ping, shut up!”

Li Zhen opened his mouth, Mei Shu’s identity was at the tip of his tongue, but her light gaze stopped him.

He couldn’t say anything, but he didn’t want to see Zhao Ping make a fool of himself either, so he could only helplessly get angry, trying to stop Zhao Ping from offending Mei Shu with threats.

But Zhao Ping just wouldn’t listen, and interpreted Li Zhen’s warning as betrayal, “Why should I listen to you? Today, I must take her away!”

Kang Wei angrily glared at Mei Shu, “All because of you, my two brothers have become enemies. You’re such a bane! You say you and Li Zhen are just classmates, but you still made another brother of mine fight for you. You’re a slut. I hate women like you the most!”

Mei Shu smacked her mouth with a cold smile and tapped the table to momentarily quiet the chaotic scene. “Kang Wei, which eye of yours saw me seducing your buddy? It’s clear that he’s been trying to get me drunk, right? He deliberately misled me about the game rules just to make me drink. Dare you say you didn’t hear anything at that time?”

Kang Wei, knowing he was in the wrong but still wanting to shift blame onto Mei Shu, retorted, “So what if I heard? What I heard was clearly the correct rules of the game! Now you’re putting all the blame on my brother again. I see you just want to get drunk on purpose, so you can easily find a man to sleep with! I’ve seen plenty of loose women like you!”

A loud slap rang out, instantly silencing the noisy private room.

Mei Shu blew on her reddened palm expressionlessly. “Forgive me for being straightforward, but both you and your so-called brother, Zhao Ping, are disgusting.”
