Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Toasting Wine_1
Ye Lu just shrugged and smiled indifferently.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. The executives of Tian Kun Company were ushering Third Young Master Jun, which immediately drew the attention of everyone present.
Bai Sijia’s eyes lit up, and she turned around to greet him.
Ye Lu really didn’t want to see this man. All she wanted was to find a place to hide, but the boss spotted him and, like a dog seeing meat, his eyes brightened and he immediately pulled her along to join in the excitement.
A dozen company CEOs, in turn, went forward to pay their respects, toast, and say some compliments.
Third Young Master Jun didn’t seem in a good mood, his smile was extremely perfunctory, and he had his assistant drink the wine on his behalf. Everyone else dared not say much, greeted him and then dispersed.
Taking advantage of the situation, the boss immediately pulled Ye Lu forward. Ye Lu was helpless, clearly it was heading towards trouble, but the boss still wanted to crash into it.
All she could do was force a smile and greeted him respectfully as President Jun.
However, Third Young Master Jun seemed not to notice her, completely ignoring her and just turning his head to talk with the boss. She was obviously left out, standing there with an awkward look on her face.
Even the boss was quite embarrassed and unclear on what was happening.
The surrounding people had been paying attention to her and Third Young Master Jun’s interaction, thinking that he would be especially nice to her. To their surprise, Third Young Master Jun seemed to disdain her, they were all quite shocked, it seemed that this new companion was no longer favored!
The other companies in the same industry were gloating, hmph, FSA Company wanted to get ahead by playing by the unwritten rules, it seemed difficult now.
"Xiao Ye, give President Jun a toast!" the boss said with a laugh, trying to ease the tension.
Ye Lu paled even more, her heart panicked, she didn’t want to drink, it wasn’t good for the baby.
All she could do was to smile awkwardly.
"President Jun probably won’t drink my wine. He didn’t drink anyone else’s, so how could I, a small clerk, get him to drink mine."
But Third Young Master Jun suddenly turned his head and said with a raised eyebrow:
"How would you know that this young master wouldn’t accept if you didn’t make a toast? Let this young master toast you then, bring the wine!"
A waiter immediately brought a tray, and Third Young Master Jun personally took the wine bottle, poured two full cups of wine. The white wine mixed with a hint of gold, had a strong aroma.
Ye Lu’s face turned pale, she was furious.
This was a foreign wine, a high-proof one. And the wine glass was huge, one glass was almost half a pound.
What did he want to do, get her drunk and embarrass herself?
Third Young Master Jun picked up a glass of wine and handed it to her, his indifferent eyes watching her pale face.
"Xiao Ye, President Jun is personally toasting you, why are you dazing off? Quickly take it," the boss who was watching from the side grew anxious.
What a great opportunity, the whole night, whoever toasted, Third Young Master Jun did not drink. Now he was personally toasting to her, showing his different attitude towards her, and she was still just staring blankly.
Ye Lu turned to the boss for help: "I’m not feeling well today, I can’t drink."
"Oh, it seems that your FSA Company doesn’t give this young master any face." Third Young Master Jun’s hand was still holding the wine glass, suspended in mid-air, but his voice had already turned cold.
"Of course not, it’s our honor."
The boss saw Third Young Master Jun displeased and panicked, urgently lowering his voice: "Xiao Ye, do you want to ruin our company? In front of all these people, if you don’t drink this glass, you’d embarrass Third Young Master Jun. If we offend him, we’re done."
Ye Lu’s heart clenched, her small face turned even paler, her blood felt ice cold.
If she drank down such a big glass of liquor, her body wouldn’t be able to handle it, not to mention her baby.
But in this situation, if she doesn’t drink, everyone will be put in an awkward position.
"Do I really have to drink? I really don’t feel well." Her eyes begged him, she let down her pride.
Third Young Master Jun coldly said, "Only if you want to continue to bid."
Ye Lu trembled and laughed at herself. That’s right, she was being foolish to ask him. He never pitied her, he just wanted to see her suffer.
"Alright, I’ll drink." She gritted her teeth, her face as pale as paper and tremblingly reached out her hand to take the wine glass from him.
She closed her eyes and gulped down the liquor.
The strong wine choked her so much that her eyes filled with tears, it burned her stomach harshly.
