He raised his eyes and looked at the dance floor opposite, under the flashing lights, men and women were dancing wildly.
Ouyang Hao’s lips curved into a mischievous smile. He got off the high stool and staggered towards the dance floor, but just then, a tall figure blocked his view.
Even though Ouyang Hao was drunk, he still recognized who it was. He smiled at Ouyang Che, "Brother, why are you here?"
Even from a distance, Ouyang Che could smell the strong alcohol on Ouyang Hao, and he couldn’t help but angrily say, "Look at the state you’re in!"
"What state? This is just who I am," Ouyang Hao said nonchalantly, "In this world of luxury and debauchery, life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can. Isn’t that great?"
Seeing Ouyang Che’s stern face, Ouyang Hao took unsteady steps forward, reached out, and pinched Ouyang Che’s face hard, "Why so serious? You’re practically becoming an old man."
Ouyang Che turned his body slightly to avoid him and grabbed his arm, "Come on, you’re going home with me."
"No, I’m not done having fun yet." Ouyang Hao forcefully shook him off, "You never minded when I drank outside before. Why do you keep showing up now? Do you have a lot of free time lately? That’s not good, not good at all. If you’re really that bored, find a woman to play with. You’re over thirty and haven’t had a proper girlfriend. Isn’t that embarrassing?"
Ouyang Che listened quietly as Ouyang Hao rambled on, his patience wearing thin. He signaled the escort behind him, who nodded respectfully and immediately, without a word, picked Ouyang Hao up from both sides.
Even though Ouyang Hao was trained, he was no match for the two special forces soldiers, especially since he was quite drunk. He was quickly escorted to the car.
In the public space earlier, Ouyang Che was still somewhat polite to Ouyang Hao. But once in the off-road vehicle, the situation changed.
"Wake him up for me."
"Yes, sir!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N()velFire.net
The escort’s methods were simple and brutal. He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, yanked Ouyang Hao’s collar open, and poured the cold water directly onto his chest. Though it was spring, the nights were still chilly.
The shock of the cold water instantly sobered Ouyang Hao up a bit. Angry, he yelled, "Brother, what are you doing?!"
"I’m your brother, not your enemy!"
"The way you are now, there’s not much difference."
Ouyang Hao was furious but outnumbered. No matter how upset he was, he couldn’t do anything to Ouyang Che. Seeing the car driving in a direction that wasn’t towards his apartment, Ouyang Hao frowned.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Home? This isn’t the way home."
"Home as in our old family home."
Ouyang Hao’s eyes widened, "What are we going back there for? I have an announcement tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow is Dad’s birthday. Did you forget?"
With Ouyang Che’s reminder, Ouyang Hao remembered that tomorrow was indeed their father’s birthday. But thinking about their last unpleasant encounter, he turned his head away.
"This isn’t up for discussion." Ouyang Che was known for his decisive actions. If he wanted something done, he would do whatever it took to make it happen.
Ouyang Hao knew this well. He miserably realized that as a man over thirty, he was being taken home by his brother. If word got out, his childhood friends would laugh about it for a lifetime.
But the fact was, he was indeed taken back to Beijing by Ouyang Che.
