Han Li and her family was still eating and drinking in the hotel when Han Hai suddenly suggested, "Mu-Cheng, Yu-Hao has come to Yunzhou on a business trip but he still took time out just to see you. Since he's so sincere, then surely you have to give him a toast, right?”
"That's right, that's right, my brother is right. Mu-Cheng, you must give a toast to Yu-Hao. If you don't, then I'm going to be very upset,” said Han Li as she filled Qiu Mu-Cheng's glass.
Qiu Mu-Cheng had no choice. Since her parents and her uncle had already said so, she had to give Sun Yu-Hao a toast even if she didn't want to.
"One glass isn't enough. Toast another one!" suggested Han Hai again.
Sun Yu-Hao's father was the CEO of Baiyi Group and Han Hai was hoping to send his own daughter into that company immediately after graduation and get a high position.
Once this marriage was set in stone, then Sun Yu-Hao would have no choice but to butter up to him as well. Then he wouldn't have to worry about his daughter's job in the future.
So Han Hai was also trying very hard to push Qiu Mu-Cheng and Sun Yu-Hao together now.
After Qiu Mu-Cheng finished toasting Sun Yu-Hao, Han Hai found some other excuse to make Qiu Mu-Cheng drink with him.
Han Li joined in the fun and insisted that her daughter drink with her too.
From the looks of it, Han Hai and Han Li were going to make Qiu Mu-Cheng drunk.
And that was exactly what they wanted to do. Sun Yu-Hao said he was willing to wait, but Han Li and Han Hai weren't.
If they took too long to get them together, what would happen to them if Sun Yu-Hao suddenly found someone new?
So Han Hai and Han Li had agreed before dinner that they would make Qiu Mu-
Cheng drunk and then let Qiu Mu-Cheng sleep with Sun Yu-Hao for the night, and hopefully she might get knocked up.
When that happened, then even if Qiu Mu-Cheng was unwilling to go with Sun Yu-Hao, she would have no choice.
"Mu-Cheng, I'm doing this for your sake. If you continue to be with that useless Ye Fan, you're going to suffer for the rest of your life. If you marry Sun Yu-Hao, then you would live in great luxury instead," thought Han Li to herself as she tried to pour Qiu Mu-Cheng another glass.
"Oh, we've run out of wine?" Han Li was surprised.
Sun Yu-Hao smiled and said, "No worries, Mum. I'll get them to send us another bottle.”
"Waiter! Another bottle of good wine!" called out Sun Yu-Hao.
Just at this moment, Peng Zhen-Ying happened to walk over with a bottle of wine. From afar, he looked towards Ye Fan and said very politely, "Young Sir, it is my honor and Haiyuan Restaurant's honor to have you here. Here is a bottle of fine wine as both a present as well as an apology for what happened earlier."
"My goodness, aren't you the general manager around here? The one with the Deputy Mayor earlier? You're being too kind! You're of such high status, so how could we possibly accept wine from you?" Qiu Lei got up with a smile because he got so excited as Peng Zhen-Ying walked over. It was such an honor for the general manager of Haiyuan Restaurant to send wine over personally.
But Peng Zhen-Ying didn't care about Qiu Lei at all. His gaze remained on Ye Fan as he continued politely, "I've kept this Maotai for many years now and couldn't bear to drink it. But since such a distinguished guest is here, I wanted to give it away. I hope you won't find it too small a gift."
Qiu Lei and the rest were puzzled by Peng Zhen-Ying's words.
Young Sir?
Who was this Young Sir?
Peng Zhen-Ying ignored the puzzled looks around the table and was about to pass Ye Fan the wine.
But Ye Fan frowned hard and waved his hands at Peng Zhen-Ying while he was still far off to indicate that he didn't want the wine.
"Hmm?" Peng Zhen-Ying was a little confused by Ye Fan's hand gesture. Was Ye Fan refusing the wine because he wanted to remain low profile and didn't want to expose his true identity?
"A great man is a great man indeed. He doesn't care to show off his identity and remains quiet. Being too high profile might get him into trouble instead."
