Chapter 487: Chapter 487: A Little Fun for Everyone

If there were a hole in the ground right now, Liu Mei’an and Mo Qingyang would have jumped into it without a second thought.

A moment ago, they had arrogantly looked down on Wang Chenning. Liu Mei’an had even painstakingly advised Yang Xiaofu to find a boyfriend of equal social standing, warning her that she would definitely regret it otherwise.

They never imagined they’d be so thoroughly humiliated just a moment later.

This man, whom they had dismissed as a country bumpkin, was actually a god in the eyes of countless people—an existence completely beyond their reach.

Both Liu Mei’an and Mo Qingyang had relied on Mo Dawei as their backer. To their shock, the same Mo Dawei, so lofty in their eyes, didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly in front of Wang Chenning.

The difference in their status was so vast that anyone who wasn’t a fool could see it clearly.

This sudden, massive public humiliation left them not only mortified but also completely clueless as to how to react.

Wang Chenning ignored Mo Qingyang and Liu Mei’an, turning to Mo Dawei with a smile. "I hear you’ve been running with Li Mingchao. Li Mingchao once put in a good word for you with me, but he stopped after he learned you were still defiant. How about this? Why don’t you go ask Li Mingchao if he’s willing to bring you over to apologize?"

Hearing this, Mo Dawei was so frightened he almost lost his footing.

He swayed a couple of times before steadying himself on Mo Qingyang. Then, he took a step back and bowed respectfully to Wang Chenning. "Teacher Wang, I’m truly sorry. I was wrong. Please, forgive me!"

"If I forgave you just like that, the word ’forgiveness’ would be far too cheap." Wang Chenning jutted his chin. "You wanted to drink with Yang Xiaofu the moment you saw her. I can see you’re a man who loves his wine. So, how about this? Finish those two bottles of red wine first."

Then he turned, beaming, to the approaching birthday girl, Wu Qingxia. "Birthday girl, since it’s your special day, why don’t we let them provide a little entertainment for everyone?"

Yang Xiaofu immediately chimed in, "Alright everyone, no need to crowd around. Go on and enjoy yourselves! Qingxia, we have to leave a bit early; we have something to do. We’ll head out after everyone’s given you their well wishes. And hmm, I have to say it again: Happy birthday!"

Wu Qingxia still hadn’t figured out what was going on, and neither had her boyfriend, who had been greeting guests with her at the door.

They could only see that Mo Dawei, a man they considered untouchable, was now standing before Wang Chenning and Yang Xiaofu with a look of utter dejection, completely stripped of his earlier vigor.

But after hearing what Yang Xiaofu said, they tactfully went to entertain the other guests, leaving the group to their own devices.

However, once they were a short distance away, they couldn’t help but glance back curiously.

Mo Dawei, his face deathly pale, shot a look at Wang Chenning and Yang Xiaofu before walking over and picking up the two bottles of red wine.

Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, he tilted his head back and chugged half a bottle in one go.

He drank too fast and started to choke. Red liquid trickled from the corner of his mouth, staining several spots on his pristine white shirt.

After catching his breath twice, Mo Dawei tilted his head back again and drank furiously.

Soon, the first bottle was empty.

Mo Dawei’s face was now flushed red, and he was breathing heavily.

Mo Qingyang and Liu Mei’an were terrified, but they didn’t dare say a word, merely standing to the side with looks of horror.

They didn’t know the history between Wang Chenning and Mo Dawei; they just assumed Wang Chenning was humiliating Mo Dawei because of their own earlier arrogance.

They were more terrified than anyone, but they were too scared to speak up.

After Mo Dawei finished both bottles of red wine, his face was beet red. He could barely breathe and was bent over, coughing violently.

Wang Chenning chuckled and tossed him a pill. "It’s a sobriety pill. Take it."

Feeling utterly miserable, Mo Dawei caught the pill from Wang Chenning and immediately swallowed it. He then snatched the drink from Liu Mei’an’s hand and gulped it down in one go.

The action startled Liu Mei’an, who subconsciously took two steps back.

Yang Xiaofu walked up to Mo Dawei, who was choking again, and threatened him in a low voice, "If even a whisper of what happened tonight gets out, you’d better think long and hard about the consequences."

Mo Dawei actually had a high tolerance for alcohol; he had just drunk too quickly, and his body couldn’t handle it.

After two bottles of red wine, the alcohol hadn’t been fully absorbed yet, so he wasn’t dizzy. He heard Yang Xiaofu’s words loud and clear.

He also understood her meaning perfectly, and a fresh wave of cold sweat broke out on his skin.

"I understand! I’ll make sure no outsiders hear about this!" he said, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Yang Xiaofu ignored them and pulled Wang Chenning away to get some food somewhere else.

"Bro, what the hell was that?" Mo Qingyang timidly asked Mo Dawei, who looked the very picture of misery. "Does that guy, Wang, have some kind of grudge against you?"

SLAP! A heavy hand struck Mo Qingyang across the face.

Mo Qingyang was stunned by the blow, and Liu Mei’an, standing beside him, was scared witless.

"Eldest Young Master Mo..." Liu Mei’an started to ask, but she too was immediately struck by Mo Dawei’s heavy hand.

"Get lost, both of you!" Mo Dawei snarled, looking like he was about to devour them. "I’m not letting either of you off the hook today. I’ll deal with you when we get back!"

The two sharp, distinct slaps, along with the pathetic state of Mo Qingyang and Liu Mei’an after being hit, were clearly seen and heard by everyone else.

But among the guests at the birthday party, there were a few clever and worldly individuals. They immediately sensed that something was very out of the ordinary.
