Chapter 429
Chen Xinya stood between Qin Wei and Qiao Sixiao as the people around them chatted and ate, oblivious to what was happening. Under their gaze, she drank a glass of wine.
Then another.
And another...
"Is Xinya performing magic...?"
"Shh... Don't listen or watch what you shouldn't..."
...
Chen Xinya didn't have much choice. After offending Qin Wei, she couldn't let Qiao Sixiao be unhappy too.
Clearly, the ten glasses were Qiao Sixiao testing her.
Qiao Sixiao watched her drink, tapping the table with her fingertips.
In the blink of an eye, the ten glasses were empty.
"Xinya, you're amazing."
Qiao Sixiao was delighted. She turned to Xiao Wang, "Remember to introduce her to President He tomorrow. Tell him which company she's from..."
Chen Xinya held onto her chair to stand. The alcohol wasn't strong but she felt stuffed. Still, it would be awkward to leave. She endured and said:
"Shengshi Entertainment. Chen Xinya."
"That's right, Shengshi Entertainment. Xiao Wang, tell President He tomorrow that I remember Prada has a show, we can collaborate."
"Got it, sis. Leave it to me."
Xiao Wang took out his phone to take notes, and wrote in his diary:
[Xiao Wang’s Diary: Following my sister, I can really learn a lot. A Prada fashion show sounds tempting. When sis makes this kind of request to President He, he usually agrees.
President He will help make connections, but Prada’s creative director is very harsh. He's harsh even towards professional models, let alone someone like CX who used to model. She does have a nice figure but compared to current professionals...
A windfall is not so easy to handle!]
After speaking, Qiao Sixiao checked the time.
"It's getting late, I should get going."
Seeing Chen Xinya deliriously happy yet pathetic, Qiao Sixiao felt irritated. She got up and left.
Behind her, Qin Wei heaved a sigh before leaving with an indifferent look.
The two went their separate ways only to meet by their sports cars.
As Qiao Sixiao got into the passenger seat without putting on her seat belt, the driver said coldly:
"Get out."
Calm, crisp, pleasant-sounding.
But some people just can't take a hint. Qin Wei buckled up nicely and looked ahead obediently.
"I told you to get out."
Qiao Sixiao's impatience was obvious in her tone.
"Drive your own car home. No, don't go back. Just leave."
Qin Wei remained indifferent, lowering her head to play on her phone.
Qin Wei hugged Qiao Sixiao's neck:
"Yay yay yay! I'm not mad anymore! You're my bestest friend!!!"
Qiao Sixiao pushed away the clingy octopus with all her might:
"Get lost! You got my face all wet with your dripping hair!"
With that they were good again, best friends once more.
...
To thank Qiao Sixiao for washing Ju An's paws clean and nicely scented, Qin Wei decided to properly repay her.
When Qiao Sixiao came out to the balcony after her shower, Qin Wei took the initiative to pour her a drink she had prepared, mysteriously asking her to try it.
The Hermès crystal glass contained what looked like milk.
Her roommate was suspicious. She picked up the glass for a sniff, only getting a strong coconut milk scent.
Nothing special...
"Did you poison it?"
Qiao Sixiao looked at her skeptically.
Qin Wei tilted her head.
"Would anyone really poison their long term meal ticket?"
Qiao Sixiao frowned. Although odd-sounding, she had a point. After a light sip, Qin Wei had already finished a whole glass.
The taste...not bad. Coconut milk with a fruity aroma. But strange...
Yet hard to pinpoint...
She took another sip...
"Where did you buy this?"
As Qiao Sixiao asked, she had drank half a glass herself while Qin Wei was on her second, going for a third.
Qiao Sixiao saw the fancy pink glass bottle in her hand.
As Qin Wei poured her drink, she said:
"The hotel manager said she's my fan and wanted an autograph. She insisted on giving this to me...I said...I don't want it but she was adamant...that I must take it...so I...gave her money..."
Why was her speech getting clumsy?
After hearing her out, Qiao Sixiao reflexively touched her cheek.
Felt a little hot.
Why hadn't she noticed?
Because the alcohol content wasn't high enough for her to tell.
Wait...
Alcohol content...
Amidst all the foreign words on the bottle was an extremely small number in the corner:
14%vol
"Holy sh*t!!! Qin Wei how much...have you had?! Stop drinking!!! This is alcohol! Booze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
