Sure enough, the alcohol started kicking in, and everyone had a full glass. Ji Niandong didn’t intend to touch hers, but one person handed over a glass first, "The way you could talk your way out with Huanhuan on the street back then really impressed me. This drink is on me as an apology for being deceived by that woman!"
That person quickly finished the glass, and everyone looked at Ji Niandong. She hesitated, "I can’t drink!"
"Sister Tongtong, just take a sip!" Zheng Mimi gently persuaded her.
Judging by everyone’s eyes, it seemed like if she didn’t take a sip, they wouldn’t accept the apology. Ji Niandong lifted the glass and took a small sip, as long as it didn’t exceed a glass!
Unexpectedly, a few others apologized in turn, coming over to offer drinks!
By the time Ji Niandong was on the third sip, she felt a bit heady!
Fortunately, the waiter quickly served food, and she hurriedly ate to fill her stomach!
Feeling her phone vibrate, she pulled it out and saw it was "Little Uncle," so she stood up and went outside to answer the call.
Her voice carried a hint of laziness, Lu Beichen asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"Just a few sips!" She walked step by step outside, leaning against the restaurant’s pillar, "I feel so uncomfortable!"
"Are you drunk? Where are you now?"
"I’m not drunk!" She stared blankly ahead, her eyes shimmering with tears, "Little Uncle, I’m just feeling a bit upset!"
"Where exactly are you?" Lu Beichen’s voice sounded anxious.
Ji Niandong looked up, instinctively said, "XXX Restaurant!"
She then suddenly laughed, "Little Uncle, the students who misunderstood me before all apologized. We’re now reconciling and becoming good friends! Especially little Mier, I haven’t made friends in a long time!"
The more she spoke, the clearer it sounded that she was drunk!
"Little Uncle, can I change my wish from yesterday? I don’t want to find Tong Lu anymore! Change it to, change it to what?" Ji Niandong tilted her head and thought, "I don’t seem to have any other wishes! Having you and Nian Nian is enough!"
Her voice was soft and sorrowful, making one feel heartache.
Lu Beichen, covering the phone, instructed Li Yi who was driving, "Go to XXX Restaurant, bring along Shen Congling!"
"Hey, Little Uncle, are you still there?" She asked again.
"I’m here!" Lu Beichen replied, "Nian Nian and I will always be by your side, forever with you, so no need to be upset. If you’re upset, I’ll be heartbroken too!"
"Will Little Uncle be heartbroken?"
"Of course! As long as you’re happy, if you don’t want to find Tong Lu, then don’t. After all... she’s just your idol. You still have a husband and a son, and your dad, right?" He quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Zhu Yiming told me your dad can be discharged anytime. When shall we pick him up?"
Ji Niandong wiped her eyes, stood up straight to clear her head, hesitantly asked, "Are you sure my dad is all right? Will there be any relapses?"
"No! Zhu Yiming specifically kept him under observation for a good while. If you’re still worried, as long as dad is willing, he can stay there forever. The environment in the premium ward isn’t bad!" He jokingly said.
"Nonsense!" Ji Niandong chuckled, "Little Uncle, then I’ll tidy up the house in Ancient Garden and we can go pick him up!"
Her voice turned cheerful, finally easing Lu Beichen’s mind, "Shall I have the maid tidy up?"
"No need, my dad is picky, and I’m used to things being in places he’s familiar with! Little Uncle, should I go back in to eat?"
"Little Uncle, is there something else?"
"Are you on the phone with your little uncle?" a voice sounded behind her, Ji Niandong trembled all over, startled, and quickly hung up the phone!
