It was time to officially start the banquet. Ning Chengen switched back to his friendly smile in a second and walked towards the stage.
Shengge also took Ning Jingxuan, who had finally freshened up, downstairs.
The round table in the garden was filled with high-class guests.
Ning Chengen behaved appropriately and delivered a five-minute official welcome.
Ning Chengxu stood quietly beside him, playing the role of a well-behaved younger brother.
Tonight was a formal occasion. He shaved off his beard and looked much younger.
Although the weather-beaten face was much rougher than before, it was not obvious in the dim light at night and was still as dazzling as before.
After his speech, Ning Chengxu, under Ning Chengen's instructions, went to the table to toast.
Given Ji Yuting's level of power in China, he was naturally the first person to be respected.
Ning Chengxu walked slowly towards the table, and Ning Chengen followed silently behind him, just like a good brother who was worried that his younger brother was not compromising enough.
"Master Yu, there are too many things between you and me, and those things are all caused by my ignorance. Tonight I will personally pour you a wine to apologize. I hope Master Yu can ignore the past grudges and drink my apology wine.
"
Ning Chengxu said with a smile, taking the expensive red wine and the empty wine glass from the servant's tray behind him, and filled them up for Ji Yuting himself.
The unknown white powder followed his pouring movements and silently fell into the dark red and fragrant wine.
Ning Chengen, who was right behind him, caught all his little moves and his eyes regained their composure.
"Come on, Master Yu, drink this glass of wine and let the past become a thing of the past."
Ji Yuting's face was indifferent, he didn't answer or speak, and he treated him as if he were nothing.
Ning Chengxu handed the wine glass to Shengge again, "Sister Sheng, Mr. Yu refused to accept my apology. I heard that Mr. Yu listens to you the most. Can Sister Sheng please help me out of our friendship over the years?
Talk to Master Yu."
In this scene, Shengge is the peacemaker.
She turned to look at Ji Yuting, "Husband, it's just a glass of wine, it doesn't mean anything, but if you don't drink it, his toasting process tonight will be stuck at the first level."
"Drink, or you drink half and I drink the other half with you?"
For Shengge's sake, Ji Yuting reluctantly agreed.
Ning Chengxu bowed respectfully, holding up the cup of apology wine with both hands.
When Ji Yuting reached out to pick it up, Shengge cut him off halfway and drank half of it first according to the agreement he just made.
While she was drinking, Ning Chengxu lowered his eyes. Under the dim and beautiful lanterns in the garden, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could feel the calmness in his heart.
Ning Chengen frowned, keenly aware that something was wrong.
After Ning Chengxu went through the process one by one and paid careful respect to the guests at each table, Ning Chengen pulled him to a remote and quiet corner and asked softly: "Did you pull any tricks?"
Ning Chengxu didn't understand: "What does second brother mean?"
Ning Chengen sneered: "I understand your temperament. Lu Shengge only cares about you. She is the woman she has been pursuing all her life. How could you watch her drink that glass of wine and remain indifferent."
That medicine was a banned drug bought from abroad, and it was very powerful.
Faced with the fact that the woman he loved drank half a glass of wine to help him out, Ning Chengxu didn't even have the slightest intention to stop her.
This made Ning Chengen suspicious almost immediately.
The guests in the garden were laughing constantly, and a few bodyguards were guarding the quiet place.
Ning Chengen was so angry that he immediately strangled his neck, "If you dare to tease me, I can let you return to the Ning family in glory, and I can also make you feel the torture of hell again!"
Ning Chengxu endured the suffocating pain and answered without changing his expression.
"I don't stop it because I want them both to die together!"
