Chapter 72: An Alcoholic Night

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Ye Qiao just joined the Ye family, her stepbrother, Ye Cheng, had avoided her since she was an illegitimate child.

The members of noble families often prioritized their image and reputation; hence, Ye Cheng was no exception, especially because he was from a well-known family. In those decades, most people were not prepared to acknowledge illegitimate children.

Therefore, Ye Cheng often threw his tantrum at Ye Qiao when his friends made fun of him when he was out with them.

Back then, Ye Qiao was just a self-abased and cowardly girl from a rural area. She was once insulted by Ye Cheng, “Go back to where you came from! Our family can’t afford to be embarrassed by you!”

Embarrassed, a 12-years-old little fat girl ran away from him with all the courage she could muster. If she were given an option, she would rather leave for good.

Although life was tough back in the old days, her parents always gave her the best of everything. Meanwhile, although the Ye family was rich, no one treated her as a family besides her grandfather. Even the daughter of their babysitter often talked to her sarcastically!

She once ran away from the estate even though she was uncertain of where to go. She took a break at a corner when she was tired, and that was the day she met Shen Xichuan.

At the time, Shen Xichuan was a star in the school with many admirers. Ye Qiao was attracted to him since then, as he was very caring toward her.

Ye Qiao changed herself and no longer allowed anyone to bully her. Instead, she became a bully. Additionally, she also became more rebellious to her family because of Shen Xichuan!

Later, Ye Qiao married Ye Cheng’s close buddy, Lu Beixiao. Ye Cheng was upset that his buddy’s reputation had been tarnished, and he suspected that Ye Qiao did it on purpose.

In the present, Ye Qiao no longer cared about those bad experiences with Ye Cheng, as it all belonged to the past. She was not that sensitive anymore, and the reason she insulted Ye Cheng was that such a flirtatious person like him deserved it!

All of them took their seat at a round table when Brother Xiao suddenly asked, “Why are we at such a lousy place? What’s wrong with Du Jun?!” Brother Xiao groaned as he wiped the round iron bench with a serviette and then got Ye Qiao to take her seat after placing a few more tissue papers on the seat.

“It’s Da Sha’s fault, Xiao Lu! He did not want to put you in a difficult position!” Fang Zhuo said as he was peeling some peanuts.

Everyone understood the meaning of ‘difficult,’ as Da Sha had the perception that Lu Beixiao’s sugar daddy was the one who hosted the gathering. He believed that the more money that was spent, the harder Lu Beixiao had to ‘work’!

“Da Sha is so kind to you, Brother Xiao, genuinely! Hey, Da Sha, let me toast to you! I’ll treat Brother Xiao nicely, don’t worry!” Ye Qiao said to Da Sha, who was sitting diagonally across her, as she stood up after filling her own glass with beer right in front of Lu Beixiao.

“Hey, sister-in-law. You make it sound like the rest of us are not ‘genuinely’ nice to Xiao Lu, huh?! Did you know that we have placed our lives in his hands this afternoon!?” The rest quickly nodded as Fang Zhuo finished talking.

Although Ye Qiao had no idea about what they were talking about, she believed that their friendship was genuinely strong and pure.

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, when the devil, Lu Beixiao, returned home, he told her with a hoarse voice after they had sex, “My buddy’s hand was crushed during an explosion, he was forced to quit and return to his hometown for good...”

The man was never that weak and depressed before. Now, she realized that Da Sha was very likely the buddy that Lu Beixiao mentioned that day.

“Come on! Let’s toast! Thank you so much for guarding Brother Xiao!” Ye Qiao said with pride as she knocked the glass in her hand gently against the table.

“We are envious of your PDA!” Jiang Hai cheered. However, everyone got up from their seat and toasted! Suddenly, the glass in Ye Qiao’s hand was snatched by Lu Beixiao when she was about to drink it. “Hey, this is not for you. I’ll finish it for you!” He spoke softly as it was a shower of love for Ye Qiao.

“I want it, Bother Xiao... I have to... just one glass!” Ye Qiao tried to negotiate as her hand was pulling the end of Lu Beixiao’s t-shirt.
