Chapter 1867: Lin Shu

“She’s quite remarkable, you know my grandfather, right? He never thought much of me, but he doesn’t hold back on praising Lin Shu, a typical ‘someone else’s child.'”

The person speaking hasn’t even graduated from medical school yet and already hospitals are eager to recruit her, implying just how terrifying Lin Shu must be.

“It seems she’s just won several awards abroad, I can’t remember the names, probably something akin to a core figure in scientific research, and she’s returning to promote technology.”

Xu Tingting clicked her tongue secretly; the achievements others casually mention are heights she could never reach in her lifetime.

“Tingting, does she know your big brother?”

“I don’t know, Brother Shu’s social circle is pretty simple, I would know if they were acquainted.”

“Oh no, my heart is broken; my idol has reached the age for matchmaking, but why isn’t it me, why, why, why!”

Xu Tingting’s mouth turned slightly downward, suddenly feeling a lack of energy.

The men in the family have grown up.

There will always be a day when they leave her.

She didn’t have a sister-in-law before, but soon there will be two; she still doesn’t know how she’ll get along with them.

Matchmaking?

Dinner was served separately; the elders ate in the dining room, while Xu Tingting gathered a group of young ladies and gentlemen, setting the table outside.

Xu Shu came over once in the middle, saw her holding half a bottle of white liquor, standing in the crowd doing comedy, her legs couldn’t hold her up, swaying.

Xu Shu took the bottle from her, placing it where she was seated, his eyes sweeping past several other empty bottles, his face suddenly darkening.

“Why is she drinking so much?”

A familiar young gentleman quickly explained: “It’s not just Tingting drinking; she was pouring drinks for us, the bottles were just placed in front of her, actually she didn’t drink much.”

Xu Tingting can handle a few drinks, Xu Shu was aware; at their grandfather’s house, she wouldn’t dare to act too boldly.

He helped Xu Tingting to her seat, when the butler came over saying her grandfather called him in.

“I’ll be back later, keep an eye on her for me, don’t let her drink anymore.”

The young gentleman assured, “Got it, we’re all watching, don’t worry, Brother Shu.”

Xu Shu really couldn’t be at ease.

He went to see their grandfather, only spending half an hour, yet by the time he returned, Xu Tingting was already drunk, standing on a chair singing a duck-counting song, several young ladies beside her wanted to help her but feared hurting her.

Seeing Xu Shu approaching from a distance, their faces turned pale with fright.

“Brother Shu, really didn’t let Tingting drink, just didn’t keep an eye on her, she poured herself two cups of white liquor, the alcohol percentage was too high, she drank them quickly and got this drunk.”

Xu Shu didn’t look very angry; he raised Xu Tingting up, gently patting her face, “Tingting.”

“Hmm…” Xu Tingting slowly lifted her head, mumbling unclearly, “Brother Shu, hehe…”

His brow furrowed instantly, “Got drunk silly?”

“I’m not, you and second brother usually don’t allow me to drink, I just wanted to taste…” she hiccupped, “just a taste.”

Xu Shu didn’t dodge, smelling the alcohol on her, his face looked as dark as King Yan.

“Heading home?”

“But we’re still going to sing, Brother Shu did you drink, if not, can you drive us… take us there, okay?”

Xu Shu suppressed a sigh, asked them, “Off to sing?”

“No, no, no, Tingting was just saying that for fun.”

“It’s too late today, let’s not go singing.”

“Yeah, my grandfather’s calling me, getting late, time to wrap up, next time… we’ll arrange next time.”
