Chapter 343: Chapter 346 Sisterly Heart-to-Heart_1

Zhang Yu, suppressing his inner rage, smiled and said, "Yang Gang, you’re late. Punish yourself with three drinks."

"Alright." Without a word, Yang Gang downed three drinks in swift succession.

"Young Master Yang, you can really hold your drink," Xiao Haotian said with a mild smile.

"Just so-so." Yang Gang replied.

Even though Yang Gang sometimes pretended to be a rich kid, he was inherently unsophisticated at heart. He had no good feelings towards wealthy second generations or scions of grand families.

But surprisingly, Yang Gang found that he did not feel such an aversion towards Xiao Haotian.

Xiao Haotian, as a core disciple of the Xiao family, one of the three big clans in Bounty World, didn’t pretend to be arrogant. He was steady, seemed to not speak much, but did not give people that lofty and cold feeling.

In short, Yang Gang didn’t particularly dislike Xiao Haotian. He even felt rather in sync with him.

On the other side, Gu Xiaorou sipped her wine while stealing glances at Zhang Miao.

Once Zhang Miao turned her head, Gu Xiaorou quickly looked away.

Zhang Miao’s mouth twitched. This girl, she thought.

After a slight pause, she said, "Let you men go on drinking. Us sisters will go to the balcony to appreciate the view of Hangcheng."

Finishing her sentence, Zhang Miao led Gu Xiaorou off to the balcony.

As they arrived on the balcony, Zhang Miao stretched out her waist and glanced at the neon lights under the darkened sky, muttering, "This seaside city, although isn’t large, is quite beautiful."

"Mhm." Gu Xiaorou looked at Zhang Miao, hesitated for a moment, and said in a laughing tone, "Sister Miao, Xiao Haotian, with his powerful family background, character, and capability –all top-notch. Can’t you consider him? It would be such a pity if you let such a good man slip away."

Zhang Miao grinned, "Even though it would be a pity to lose Xiao Haotian, I made up my mind a long time ago that I won’t get married. I will be a proud single woman."

She paused for a moment and looked at Gu Xiaorou. "Xiaorou, I remember, many years ago, when you were still an ignorant young girl, you told me that your dream was to become a perfect wife. Has that dream changed now?"

Gu Xiaorou’s face turned slightly red.

"Hmm. I see." Zhang Miao chuckled.

The two remained silent, looking together at the twinkling stars under the night sky.

A moment later, Gu Xiaorou suddenly started speaking, "Sister Miao, I heard that Yang Gang, that fool, is planning to marry you?"

Zhang Miao felt a chuckle rising from deep within her.

"This girl, took so many detours, but still got to the main point."

She paused slightly, then smiled faintly, "Oh, it seems there is such a thing."

"Hmph! What on earth is Yang Gang thinking? He knows full well that Sister Xiaoxi and you are the best of sisters, yet he still covets you. He is beyond help!" Gu Xiaorou said indignantly.

Zhang Miao laughed softly, "Xiaorou, are you jealous?"

Gu Xiaorou’s face turned bright red, "No... Not at all! I admit, I liked him when I was young. But... but now that I’ve grown up and matured, I’ve fully understood his shamelessness from all angles. So, I’ve long since repented and no longer have feelings for him. My break up with Zhang Yu was mainly because our personalities didn’t match, it has nothing to do with Yang Gang."

Zhang Miao just scoffed.

Gu Xiaorou nervously turned her head away, not daring to look Zhang Miao in the eye.

"Alright, alright. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I won’t marry Yang Gang." Zhang Miao said lightly.

Gu Xiaorou’s face grew hot. "Sister Miao, it seems like you’re implying that I’m forcing you to swear."

"Huh? Isn’t that the case?"

Gu Xiaorou was utterly embarrassed, "I’m sorry, Sister Miao, I... I..."

Zhang Miao gave her a gentle smile, held her hand and said, "I’m just joking. Yang Gang saying he wants to marry me is just for fun. He’s got many women he’d like to marry. Besides, unlike Su Xiaoxi whose resolve can waver, I am a firm believer in remaining single. I have no interest in dating, let alone getting married."

She paused, her tone slightly more serious: "Xiaorou, you and Xi are my best sisters. I’m neutral, I won’t lean towards anyone. Just like I don’t want to see Yang Gang and Zhang Yu become enemies, I also don’t want to see any misunderstanding between you and Xi. Whether it’s you or Xi who ends up with Yang Gang, I hope we three can always remain close friends."

"Yeah," Gu Xiaorou responded immediately. "Ah, Sister Miao, as I said, I don’t like Yang Gang anymore."

"Why are you explaining this to me? I am not Yang Gang’s fiancée. You should explain this to Little Xi." Zhang Miao laughed.

Gu Xiaorou was left speechless and deflated.

...

At the same time when Gu Xiaorou and Zhang Miao were having a heart-to-heart on the balcony, an uneasy atmosphere was spreading in the hall.

After Zhang Miao and Gu Xiaorou left, Zhang Yu’s friends started pouring drinks for Yang Gang one after the other, using toasts as an excuse.

Even though Yang Gang could drink heavily, he was also not able to withstand such an assault.

He began to feel slightly dizzy.

"Young Master Yang, it’s my turn to toast again. Come on, let’s clink glasses." A chubby man holding up a large cup filled to the brim with strong liquor approached Yang Gang.

Yang Gang looked at the large cup of strong liquor, hesitating slightly without grabbing it.

"Eh? Young Master Yang, what’s the meaning of this? You look down on Wang Dahai, don’t you?" The man immediately responded in a sarcastic tone.

"I need to use the restroom first." Yang Gang stood up and went directly to the restroom.

The behavior of these people was gradually crossing the line. For the sake of Sister Miao, Yang Gang had been bearing it for a long time. But this was the last straw.

Once Yang Gang had left, Zhang Yu, with a grim smile on his face, poured a packet of white powder into Yang Gang’s wine glass.

The white powder dissolved instantly when it hit liquid, leaving no color or taste. Nobody could tell something was off.

"What is this?" Xiao Haotian frowned slightly.

"Brother Xiao, this is a hallucinogen." Zhang Yu revealed a twisted smile.

Xiao Haotian furrowed his brow deeper: "Yang Gang has to drive home later. If he drinks this hallucinogen..."

Zhang Yu let out a chilling laugh, "Drunk driving, if an accident happens, who would suspect anything?"

"Zhang Yu, he’s your friend." Xiao Haotian said calmly.

"Hmph! Friend?" A surge of anger erupted from Zhang Yu, "If he really considered me a friend, he wouldn’t have coveted my wife when I was not around. Such scum, even if they exist in society, are still harmful. I’m doing a service for the public. Brother Xiao, you don’t know this, but that guy even dares to consider marrying my sister. He thinks he’s good enough for my sister? That’s laughable. Only an outstanding man like Brother Xiao is worthy of my sister. Brother Xiao, I support you becoming my brother-in-law."

Xiao Haotian sighed inwardly. This Zhang Yu had too much malice in him. If he was not able to repent in time, he was likely to get closer to Hell.

At this point, Yang Gang had come back.

Zhang Yu had already composed his emotions. He smiled and looked at Yang Gang, "Yang, I had some misunderstandings about you before. I’m sorry. This glass of wine, I offer you personally. It’s the last one. After drinking this glass, we’re still good brothers. Here’s to you."

With that, Zhang Yu downed the glass in one gulp.

Yang Gang looked at the wine in front of him, a glint of something unusual flickered in his eyes. He picked up the wine glass and, likewise, drank it all in one gulp.
