Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Young Uncle, Drink More

"This... never mind, uncle-in-law, it’s just a family dinner, let’s not talk about work."

Seeing Liu Shengrui’s face getting redder, Lin Fan knew that he was almost there, and it was better to just get him drunk without wasting words on a so-called division head.

"Yeah, it is a family dinner, Lao Liu, perhaps you could talk less about work."

Feeling that Lin Fan was displeased, Xu Jingyi hurriedly tried to placate him from the side.

"You women wouldn’t understand, what else should a man talk about if not his career?"

Ever since he entered the door and saw this spacious and bright house and the table full of fresh seafood, Liu Shengrui had been seething with jealousy. As a county-level division head with a vice-division-level treatment, he had basically reached the end of his career path. Even if he broke his bones, he couldn’t buy such a nice house in the city, so he finally found a sense of superiority and had to regain the upper hand.

"Talking about work aside, we could discuss income, but that might be too stimulating!"

Li Hui Fang didn’t care about preserving face, and with one sentence, she left Liu Shengrui rolling his eyes, who could only cough lightly and then continue.

"You’re being ridiculous, what men value is expanding territories, merely relying on your parents’ hard work isn’t something to boast about. Paying a down payment for a lifetime of mortgages, what’s the difference from cattle and horses? Moreover, it’s just a casual family dinner; there was no need to buy such expensive seafood. Spending a whole month’s salary on one meal doesn’t sound like a sensible person at all, especially among close relatives. There’s no need to pretend to be more than we are."

"Uncle-in-law, we just wanted to treat you well since it’s rare for you to visit, and this is how us younger ones show respect to our elders."

Lin Fan smiled at Li Huizhen, "Huizhen, why don’t you also drink a glass with uncle-in-law?"

"Okay!"

Li Huizhen quickly picked up her glass of red wine, only to see Li Hui Fang laughing and picking up the bottle, "Sister, I’ve heard that not filling a glass when toasting is an insult, you should fill the glass to show sincerity."

"But... I can’t drink that much!"

Li Huizhen was worried as she watched her sister fill up the wine glass; she normally did not drink alcohol at all, and would not have even picked up a glass if Lin Fan weren’t there.

"You have to drink even if you can’t, it’s your own home after all. If you drink too much, you just sleep it off."

Li Hui Fang said with a laugh, "Besides, uncle-in-law works at the County Government Building and has a good relationship with the county magistrate and others. This glass represents not just you, but also your husband, it’s good for uncle-in-law to look after your husband more in the future."

"It’s all family here, some things are just a word away from me."

Encouraged by the praise, Liu Shengrui also showed interest, picked up his glass filled to the brim, and downed it in one gulp, and on the other side, Li Huizhen reluctantly drank her full glass of wine with gritted teeth.

Seeing her flushed cheeks, Li Hui Fang gave Lin Fan a sly smile, and Lin Fan, fully aware of what this cunning little girl was thinking, turned to his aunt Xu Jingyi, "Aunt, let me offer a toast to you as well."

"I... I don’t drink at all!"

Xu Jingyi quickly waved her hands, as she also never touched alcohol.

"Wine is not really alcohol, and a little won’t hurt. Since you’ve come all the way here, as the younger generation, I should at least toast you with one glass."

With Lin Fan’s persuasion, Xu Jingyi eventually drank half a glass of red wine, and soon, her already pretty face blushed even more beautifully.

"Lin Fan... not to criticize you, uncle-in-law, but a big house isn’t everything... It feels empty with few people... Look at my home, a family of three living in forty square meters, that’s trulycomfortable. No need to pay for heating in winter, a house is just a place to crash... Too big, and it starts to feel distant..."

Four glasses in, Liu Shengrui’s speech was slurred, sounding even less coherent, and as he spoke, his sour tone made Li Hui Fang unable to hold back her laughter. Lin Fan, on the other hand, wasn’t amused as he saw the worry between Xu Jingyi’s brows.

"Uncle-in-law, you’re drunk, better go rest now."

Lin Fan whispered reassuringly, yet hearing this, Liu Shengrui instead got worked up, "Just drinking one bottle of your fine wine, are you reluctant to let me drink? It’s just a thousand yuan... I can afford more... I can still drink."

"It’s just a thousand yuan worth of wine. If uncle-in-law likes it, I’ll drink another glass with you."

Lin Fan picked up the bottle of liquor, and while Liu Shengrui wasn’t looking, slipped a pill that looked like fish oil into it, before handing the glass to him. As the two downed their drinks, tonight, he would be completely ruined, and that beautiful wife of his would belong to someone else.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Liu Shengrui was already drunk, and Li Hui Fang had been keeping an eye on her sister. Seeing Li Huizhen supporting her head, drowsy and alluring Mo Yang, a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

"What are you laughing at? Help your sister back to take a bath... and then wait for me to dote on you!"

Squeezing Li Hui Fang’s buttock, Lin Fan watched with amusement as Xu Jingyi helped the staggering Liu Shengrui back to his room, everyone who needed to be drunk was drunk, now whom to sleep with tonight?
