Chapter 287: Chapter 287: History Repeats Itself 2

A woman with dyed yellow hair started laughing, "Who drinks mineral water here today? Everyone is supposed to drink alcohol."

"Yeah, maybe they don’t even sell water here."

"Today is Young Master Zhu Er’s place, wouldn’t it be disrespectful not to drink alcohol and lose face for Young Master Zhu Er?"

"Lin Jiayi, where did you find such a goody-two-shoes? Did she come to the wrong place? Hahaha..."

"Little sister, we don’t have water here."

...

A bunch of people joked and made fun, either persuading kindly or mocking, surrounding Wan Chu’er and Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi seemed a bit embarrassed, she looked at Wan Chu’er with slight difficulties, hesitated with a pleading tone:

"Chuchu, how about we just go along with the local customs? Everyone is drinking, let’s not be too different and spoil everyone’s fun."

In such a situation, these people, these words, and under the intense scrutiny of the crowd, most people would have already surrendered and agreed.

Unfortunately, the person they were facing was Wan Chu’er, the same Wan Chu’er who had been wronged by them once before.

If Wan Chu’er agreed, that would mean she was out of her mind.

She glanced over the people pressuring her with a slight smile, calmly and slowly looked at them, then her lips slightly parted, "I see."

Just as the crowd started showing a smug expression, Wan Chu’er changed her stand, "I’m truly sorry, but I only feel like drinking mineral water. If that spoils your fun, then I better leave. Have fun everyone."

She even waved her hand cheerfully at everyone, then turned around to leave.

The group was taken aback, and Lin Jiayi reacted and hurriedly grabbed Wan Chu’er’s hand.

"Chuchu, are you going to leave me here alone?" She looked at Wan Chu’er with pleading eyes, gripping her arm tightly.

Wan Chu’er shrugged, "Actually, I’m quite busy, I still have to go back and study." meaning she didn’t want to stay.

How could Lin Jiayi let her leave, and how could the men here really let her leave, since half of today’s gathering was prepared for her.

At that moment, the birthday star, Second Young Master Zhu, came over, he pushed away a few surrounding people and declared mightily, "Everyone here today is my guest, especially Little Chuchu. Little Chuchu can drink whatever she wants, anyone who talks nonsense is trashing my place."

Hearing "Little Chuchu" made Wan Chu’er’s skin crawl.

This Second Young Master Zhu spoke nicely, but in the past, he never hesitated to take advantage of her. Once she came to her senses, she thought about confronting Zhu Er for clarity, but she could never find him, as if he had evaporated from the world.

This time, she would not let him escape!

Since Zhu Er had spoken, the crowd naturally gave him face, they chuckled, cracked a few jokes, and resumed their activities; singing, drinking, playing dice, and snuggling up together.

Zhu Er ordered two bottles of mineral water and then sat next to Wan Chu’er, chatting with her in what seemed a very friendly manner.

"These damn bastards are no good, Little Chuchu, pay them no mind. Anything you need, just tell me."

Wan Chu’er sneered inwardly, as if you are any better? A bunch of scum wasting food!

"Second Young Master Zhu, you might as well call me Wan Chu’er, Little Chuchu makes me want to throw up," Wan Chu’er said mercilessly.

Zhu Er paused, his heart itched unbearably, wanting to fiercely mishandle the chilly Wan Chu’er.

Lin Jiayi was momentarily stunned, then reproachfully tugged on Wan Chu’er’s arm, "Chuchu, don’t be so blunt, we’re all friends here."

Wan Chu’er looked at her: "Then let Second Young Master Zhu call you Little Jiajia."

Lin Jiayi: "..."

A surge of frustration nearly choked her. If Zhu Er dared to call her that, she would be utterly disgusted.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door and entered.

A male waiter dressed in a shirt and vest entered with his head bowed, holding a tray with two bottles of mineral water.

Zhu Er called someone over, took the water himself, twisted open a bottle, and handed it to Wan Chu’er with a smile, "Here, Sister Chuchu, drink."

Wan Chu’er slightly curled the corners of her mouth, took the water, and then screwed the cap back on, saying, "I’m not thirsty now, I’ll drink it later."

Her gaze casually swept over the vest-clad waiter as he bowed his head and walked out.

Xiao Bai really did look the part, truly convincing in both appearance and manner, Lin Jiayi didn’t even notice, no wonder she’s from a nightclub background.

Since Wan Chu’er didn’t drink the water, Lin Jiayi and Zhu Er couldn’t force her, and after exchanging a few jokes, Zhu Er left to find other people to mingle with.

Lin Jiayi was also pulled away by someone, seemingly intentionally isolating Wan Chu’er. Everyone was enjoying themselves, with no one paying attention to her or speaking to her.

Facing this situation, Wan Chu’er remained calm and relaxed as she watched the crowd.

After a while, she felt it was boring to stay here anymore, it was really a waste of time, better to make it quick. She picked up the bottle of mineral water, tilted her head back, took a couple of sips, counted to twenty silently in her mind, then got up and walked outside.

"Chuchu, where are you going?" Lin Jiayi chased after her and asked as she approached the door.

Wan Chu’er smiled: "I’m going to the restroom, I’ll be back in a bit."

Lin Jiayi advised worriedly: "Make sure you come back, I was the one who brought you out, I should also be the one to take you back."

"Don’t worry, I haven’t seen enough yet, I’ll come back to learn more," said Wan Chu’er with an implication, unfortunately, Lin Jiayi didn’t understand.

She left the private room, walked down the corridor, and reached the end, pushing open a door that led to an open-air balcony.

The air outside was indeed fresher and colder.

Wan Chu’er stared heavily at the night sky, motionless for a long while, lost in thought.

Xiao Bai sneakily appeared, "Are you alright?" He observed Wan Chu’er’s expression and asked.

Wan Chu’er’s lips curled slightly, "I’m fine."

Why wouldn’t she be? She was more than happy now. The grudges and resentments of her past life were to be thoroughly settled tonight with interest. She turned around, "Is everything ready on Second Brother’s side?"

Xiao Bai said, "Don’t worry, I reckon these people will soon create chaos. Once people arrive, I’ll bring them to the scene immediately."

Wan Chu’er nodded, "Then I’m going back in."

After entering the private room again, Lin Jiayi visibly relaxed, and the eyes of Zhu Er and the other men brightened.

Wan Chu’er didn’t waste words, walked back to her original spot, picked up the bottle of water she had earlier, and gulped down half the bottle in one go.

Her actions thrilled some people in the room. They had thought it would be a hassle to make Wan Chu’er drink that water, they had even prepared a second plan, yet unexpectedly, Wan Chu’er was so cooperative.
