Suddenly, a somewhat surprised voice broke the harmonious atmosphere. Xiao Yingze was the first to notice that Xiao Yingxi was holding red wine in her hand. As soon as he finished speaking, his hand had already been stretched out towards Xiao Yingxi.
Just when his hand was about to touch the wine glass in Xiao Yingxi's hand, Xiao Yingxi leaned back and said unhappily.
"I'm already twenty-one, why can't I drink? Mommy said, drinking some red wine can also improve your beauty."
With that said, Xiao Yingxi took a sip from the wine glass and drank all the red wine at the bottom of the glass.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yingze immediately stood up and walked over, grabbed Xiao Yingxi's hand, snatched the wine glass from her hand, and scolded.
"Don't you know how much you drink? How much have you drunk? Come on, I'll take you back to your room to rest."
While Xiao Yingze was speaking, he had already helped Xiao Yingxi up, but at this time Xiao Yingxi was not willing to leave. She threw away Xiao Yingze's hand, sat back on the chair again, and said calmly.
"I'm not drunk. You are all still here. I don't want to go back to my room to rest. It's rare for my eldest brother to come back today. We have to drink some wine to celebrate, right."
As she said that, Xiao Yingxi reached out for the jug, but before her hand could touch it, the jug had already been taken aside by Mas Nian.
"I think it's getting late. I'll take Qianyi back to the hotel."
Masnian stood up and walked to Ou Qianyi's side. While talking, he glanced at Xiao Yingxi who was drunk and confused, and then walked towards the gate.
Mas Nian's sudden move made everyone stunned. Ou Qianyi was stunned for two or three seconds before she realized what she was doing. She quickly greeted Xiao Zichen and the others, and then hurriedly caught up with Mas Nian.
"Are the young master and Miss Ou going to stay in the hotel? I have packed up the guest rooms."
At this time, Mrs. Zhang happened to clean up the guest room, but she saw Masnian and Ou Qianyi getting into the car and said something casually.
"Maybe my eldest brother finds it inconvenient to live at home."
Xiao Yingze said casually.
At this time, they heard a banging sound from the restaurant. Everyone hurried over and saw a broken wine glass lying on the ground next to the bar. There was also a pool of red wine on the ground. Xiao Yingxi stood there with a sad expression.
, but his eyes were looking out the window at the car driving out of the yard.
"What's going on, Luoluo, you're not hurt anywhere, are you?"
Mo Yurou was the first to walk up to Xiao Yingxi and carefully inspected her body with a look of pity on her face.
Xiao Yingxi finally came back to her senses, withdrew her gaze and looked down at the glass shards at her feet. Just as she was about to squat down, Xiao Yingze stopped her.
"Don't move. Leave this to me. You can go sit in the living room for a while."
With that said, Xiao Yingze took the broom brought by the servant and got busy.
Xiao Yingxi looked at everyone's worried expressions, rubbed her brows, and said.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to my room first."
With that said, Xiao Yingxi broke away from Mo Yurou's arms and walked towards the stairs. When she passed by Yu Tianzuo and Lu Ziyou, she did not forget to apologize for her rudeness.
"Brother Tianzuo, sister Ziyou, I'm sorry."
"Okay, come upstairs quickly. We are all members of our family, there is nothing rude about you."
Yu Tianzuo touched Xiao Yingxi's head dotingly like an older brother and said softly.
Afterwards, Xiao Yingxi left the restaurant alone.
Everyone present looked at Xiao Yingxi's disappointed back and sighed. None of them could tell what this girl was thinking, but if Xiao Yingxi didn't say it herself, none of them would reveal it.
"Godmother, I'd better go up and see Luoluo. She just drank."
Lu Ziyou was a little worried and spoke. Mo Yurou nodded, and then Lu Ziyou went upstairs.
On the second floor, the pinkest room in the villa, Xiao Yingxi returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. She felt uncomfortable, but who could she tell.
Knock knock knock…
A knock on the door interrupted Xiao Yingxi's sadness. She raised her eyes slightly, looked at the door and spoke softly.
"Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the room opened from the outside, and Lu Ziyou walked in. When she saw Xiao Yingxi sitting by the bed, she walked over, touched Xiao Yingxi's long, silky hair, and spoke.
"You just drank so much wine, do you feel sick to your stomach?"
Xiao Yingxi did not answer, but raised her head slightly and rested her head on Lu Ziyou's lap, lying curled up, and then slowly opened her mouth.
"Sister Youyou, why do we have to grow up? It's so good like when we were children. There are only mommy, daddy, brother, Xinxin and me at home."
Lu Ziyou smiled softly when he heard these childish words.
"But people will always grow up. We will always have to face troubles of this kind. As long as we have the courage to face them, it is a kind of growth. I remember when I was a child, you always shouted to grow up quickly.
"
Hearing what Lu Ziyou said, Xiao Yingxi raised her head and looked at her, then smiled bitterly and said.
"But now I find that some of my childhood ideas cannot be realized when I grow up, and I even have to accept the crueler reality. Sister Youyou, tell me why some people seem to be so powerful, but why do they face the real reality?
You are so timid when it comes to choosing.”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ziyou was stumped. She knew what Xiao Yingxi was talking about, but there were some things that she couldn't represent for that person, and she didn't understand what that person was thinking.
Seeing that Lu Ziyou didn't speak, Xiao Yingxi let out a long sigh and said.
"Forget it, I know it's impossible to find the answer. Sister Youyou, I'll be fine. By the way, will you stay tonight?"
"No, there will be an event at the publishing house tomorrow morning. It's not convenient to get there from here. So you should go to bed early and talk to me if you have anything, you know?"
Xiao Yingxi nodded. She didn't want to ruin other people's moods because of her own emotions.
"Well, sister Youyou, goodbye."
After that, Lu Ziyou left the bedroom. Xiao Yingxi lay on the bed for a while, feeling increasingly dizzy. She knew that she was getting drunk, which was why her family didn't let her drink.
Every time Xiao Yingxi drank, there would be no problems at the time, but after two or three hours, the alcohol took over, and the drunk Xiao Yingxi was in a completely different state.
Downstairs, Lu Ziyou found that Yu Tianzuo had actually left when she came downstairs. She immediately greeted her twin brother in her heart.
"Why did you come down here? Are you going back to the city?"
At this time, Xiao Yingze walked out of the kitchen with a glass of milk and was a little surprised to see Lu Ziyou appearing downstairs.
Because of her parents, Lu Ziyou often lived in Haotianju since she was a child. After a long time, Mo Yurou specially prepared a bedroom for Lu Ziyou next to Xiao Yingxi's bedroom. When Xiao Yingze saw Lu Ziyou coming up just now, he thought she would be there tonight.
Will stay here.
Lu Ziyou nodded and looked outside. The rain that had been falling all day seemed to have stopped.
Seeing Lu Ziyou nod, Xiao Yingze frowned slightly and said something faintly.
"It's already so late. Let's stay here tonight. Sister Zhang cleaned your room a few days ago."
"No, there is an event at the publishing house tomorrow morning. I have just been promoted to editor-in-chief. It can't be too late. I'll just drive my godmother's car back to the city later. You should go to bed early."
After saying that, Lu Ziyou looked at the direction of the second floor and said.
"Over there, Luoluo, keep an eye on her. I see she drank a lot of red wine just now."
"Okay, Luoluo has daddy and mommy watching over her. Nothing will happen. Let's go. I'll take you back. It's so late at night, if something happens to a girl like you, how can I explain it to Aunt Qian and Uncle Yu?"
"
Xiao Yingze said, drank the milk in his hand, and then walked towards the gate.
"etc."
At this time, Lu Ziyou called him from behind, then walked over with a tissue and said.
"Wipe your mouth."
There was a circle of milk stains around Xiao Yingze's mouth.
Xiao Yingze saw the disgusted expression on Lu Ziyou's face, turned his eyes, leaned forward, put his face in front of Lu Ziyou, and said.
"You wipe it for me."
Lu Ziyou curled her lips, but still stretched out her hand to wipe the milk stains from the corners of Xiao Yingze's mouth, and said while wiping.
"Xiao Yingze, how old are you? Why are you still the same as when you were a child, acting coquettishly at every turn? Luoluo is not as coquettish as you."
When Xiao Yingze heard this, he twitched the corner of his mouth, immediately took the tissue in Lu Ziyou's hand, wiped the corner of his mouth randomly, crumpled it into a ball, threw it into the trash can next to him, and then said.
"Lu Ziyou, I'm twenty-four and a mature man. Can you please stop talking to me in the same tone as when you were a child?"
"But even if you are forty-two years old, you are still my younger brother. Xiao Yingze, just accept your fate."
After saying that, Lu Ziyou walked out of the villa.
Xiao Yingze stood at the door, watching Lu Ziyou leaving gracefully, gritting his teeth angrily, clenching his fists, and uttered a few words with a gloomy face.
"Lu Ziyou, you stupid woman."
After saying that, Xiao Yingze also walked out of the villa. After a while, a black SUV drove out of the villa, and peace finally returned to the villa.
