Chapter 417
Zhou Mengyun suddenly realized that she was looking at Chen Xingran so intently that she actually forgot that she was pouring wine for Chen Xingran.
Zhou Mengyun's cheeks were slightly red. She took out a piece of handkerchief and tried to wipe the wine on the table, but maybe because the wine was on it, her hand accidentally touched the wine glass again.
Chen Xingran had quick eyes and quick hands. He held the wine glass steady with one hand and gently stroked Zhou Mengyun's wrist with the other hand.
Zhou Mengyun's hand was held by Chen Xingran, and her cheeks turned redder. She was stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly withdrew her wrist.
"Excuse me···"
"Mr. Zhou, why don't we drink less. You seem to be a little drunk."
Zhou Mengyun denied: "I'm not drunk!"
Chen Xingran could only spread his hands. Zhou Mengyun's attitude was obvious. She still wanted to drink.
After a brief silence between the two, Zhou Mengyun stared at Chen Xingran again and asked: "Would your girlfriend have any objection to inviting you to drink tonight?"
"girlfriend?"
Chen Xingran thought of Xia Surou, but he and Xia Surou have not confirmed their relationship until now.
Chen Xingran said: "I don't have a girlfriend yet?"
Zhou Mengyun didn't know why she asked this question. She picked up the wine glass and had another drink with Chen Xingran.
Chen Xingran saw Zhou Mengyun drinking very hard. She drank almost as much as Chen Xingran drank.
Chen Xingran advised: "Mr. Zhou, you'd better drink less."
"It's okay. Today I finally got back the plum blossom watch that belonged to my dad. My dad's bones will soon be buried in his hometown. I'm happy today. I just want to drink."
Zhou Mengyun's face did not show happiness, but seemed to be a relief.
While Zhou Mengyun was drinking, she suddenly lay on the table and started crying.
"Mr. Zhou, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, come on, let's drink."
Zhou Mengyun drank one glass after another, and the two bottles of wine were quickly finished. Chen Xingran originally thought of stopping there, but Zhou Mengyun asked the waiter to bring two more bottles.
"Would you like to have a few more drinks with me today?" Zhou Mengyun's eyes looked pitiful.
Chen Xingran nodded and drank a few drinks with Zhou Mengyun again.
Zhou Mengyun had indeed drunk too much. The corners of her eyes suddenly turned red, and she held her head in her hands. The grievances and pain buried in her heart were vented in an instant:
"Five years, it took me five years to get back my dad's watch! Then I could take my dad's bones back to my hometown!"
"I should be happy, but why can't I be happy?"
"I got my dad's watch back, but this is the only watch I have with me. None of my family members are with me anymore!"
"My father's body has been brought back, but the people who killed my father are still alive!"
"What's the point of making money, what's the point of living..."
During the five years that Zhou Mengyun has been an executive at Su Ran Group, she has focused solely on her work. Even though she is thirty years old, she has not had a boyfriend yet. She just wanted to make more money so that she could redeem her father.
That watch.
But now that the watch was back and her father's body was about to be found, Zhou Mengyun's emotions were a little out of control.
