Chapter 242: Who is He to You

Xu Shu didn’t think twice, he just caught the person in his arms.

Xu Tingting’s body was so limp it’s as if it had no bones, almost all her weight rested in his hands, so Xu Shu simply let her stay in his embrace.

“How much did you drink?” he asked, his voice not as stern as before.

Xu Tingting couldn’t remember, she just pointed towards the dining table, “Just that.”

Two bottles of red wine, of medium to low price range, with a higher alcohol content than Lafite.

There were several rings of wine stains under Xu Tingting’s glass, obviously, she had picked it up and put it down many times.

However, the glass in front of Song Jin was very clean, not only clean but the wine in the glass looked untouched, without any lip marks on the rim.

But the wine bottle was placed within easy reach of Song Jin.

“You said you were having dinner with friends, where are they?”

Xu Tingting rubbed her temples, hummed softly, opened her eyes to look, and seeing Song Jin standing behind Lu Zhenzhen, she smiled and waved at him, “There, Song Jin, come here, let me introduce you to my brother.”

Brother?

Song Jin’s expression improved a bit, after all, he was the official boyfriend.

What was up with a man suddenly appearing and hugging his girl?

He had just started working, at an uncle’s company, he wasn’t positioned high, but he had attended many drinking sessions.

However, his connections were limited, the highest-status people he had met didn’t even amount to one-thousandth of Xu Shu.

Even a white shirt couldn’t hide the inherent nobility in his bones.

Song Jin was an expert at reading people and situations; those behind Xu Shu were clearly all rich or noble.

To think that Xu Tingting’s brother was someone with status and identity.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and walked over.

Just as he was about to greet, he heard Xu Shu’s abruptly cold voice, “What sort of disreputable people are you mixing with, how did I teach you, you must be home by nine, what are you doing now?”

Xu Tingting shrank back, “I was just about to go home.”

“How are you getting home?”

“I…” Xu Tingting glanced at Song Jin, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Xu Shu, suppressing his rage, said, “Come home with me.”

Xu Tingting immediately clung to his shoulder, anxiously stating, “But what about Song Jin, I can’t just leave him behind.”

Xu Shu frowned, “Who is he to you?”

“My boyfriend.”

Xu Tingting stated the matter-of-fact as if it were the most natural thing, not noticing the man’s suddenly changing expression, and shakily stood up from his embrace to walk towards Song Jin.

Xu Shu pulled her back in one motion, “Say it again, who is he?”

“Him, my…”

Xu Tingting didn’t dare to continue, “Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Xu Shu stared at her coldly, his black eyes as deep as an abyss, his lips tightly pursed, he commanded in an icy tone, “We’re going home!”

He took a couple of steps but realized Xu Tingting was deliberately holding onto him to keep him from leaving.

Having no patience to coax her, he simply picked her up in his arms.

At the restaurant entrance, he pressed his car key, opened the passenger door to put Xu Tingting in, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back to look at Mo Tingshen, who was standing by another car.

“Brother Mo, have you been drinking?”

“No.”

Mo Tingshen walked over, his gaze straightforward, “Need a hand?”

Xu Shu nodded, “She’s quite drunk and is likely to cause trouble on the road.

Could you drive for me while I watch her in the back?”

“Sure.”

Mo Tingshen took the car keys and sat down in the driver’s seat first, glanced through the rearview mirror, and caught sight of Xu Shu settling in with Xu Tingting in his arms.

Mo Tingshen closed the car window.

After driving for a while, the tires rolled over a speed bump, jarring Xu Tingting awake.

She opened her eyes slightly, her blurry vision glimpsing the third button on the man’s white shirt.

“Brother…”

She shifted her body and buried her face in his chest, mumbling lowly, “Are you angry with me?”
