229: Chapter 0229: Can You Afford the Loss?

Wang Zixin cursed silently, “Damn it, starting to act up again.

I haven’t even secured my role yet, and you dare say you’ve nailed yours?”

Seeing that Wang Zixin’s expression was a bit off, Li Xiaonuan asked with a smile, “Mr.

Wang, what’s wrong?

Are you feeling unwell?”

Fearing that Li Xiaonuan might notice something, Yu Peilin quickly said with a beaming smile, “My Zixin just can’t hold his liquor; he’ll be fine after the alcohol wears off a bit.”

“Yes, yes, I did drink a bit too much.

Ugh…”

To cover up his earlier blunder, Wang Zixin hurried to the restroom to retch.

Yu Peilin mentally praised Wang Zixin in her heart.

Worthy of being her man, so clever, almost lost face in front of his classmates.

Yu Peilin naturally walked back to her seat and proactively picked up her glass.

“Thank you all for coming, it’s because of your presence that I had the chance to meet Director Wang and got this role.

I’ll drink first; you do as you please!”

With a gulp, Yu Peilin downed her glass in one go.

The classmates also gave face, cheering her on, all hoping that once Yu Peilin became a big star, she might land them a role too.

Suddenly, the scene became very lively.

Hearing the conversation outside getting more outrageous, as if Yu Peilin had already become a top star, Wang Zixin chuckled bitterly and decided to stay in the restroom a bit longer, waiting for the buzz to die down before coming out.

Yu Peilin completely became the star of the banquet, shining brilliantly.

Feeling great, Yu Peilin glanced at the silent Qin Yu, thinking he might be regretting abandoning her, which made Yu Peilin feel very pleased.

She then had a few more drinks with some close classmates.

After several drinks, Yu Peilin felt the urge to pee.

But since Wang Zixin hadn’t come out yet, Yu Peilin had to use the public restroom outside.

She put down her glass and said cheerfully, “Excuse me, classmates, I’m a bit pressed, I’ll be right back.”

As Yu Peilin was heading out, Wang Xiaogang and the martial arts instructor Huang Bin also left Lanzhi Hall; they were going to offer a toast to Qin Yu.

To show sincerity, Wang Xiaogang asked the waiter to open a bottle of ’82 Lafite.

Huang Bin held the Lafite carefully, as if holding the ancestral tablets of his forefathers because the thing was just too expensive!

It’s said to be worth tens of thousands per bottle.

But the more they wanted to avoid accidents, the more likely they would occur!

Just as the two were approaching the entrance of Lanzhi Hall, Yu Peilin happened to push open the door and walk out.

In front of Qin Yu, Yu Peilin was a bit off-balance; she’d drunk a bit too much, her steps somewhat unsteady.

Even though she saw people right after opening the door, she still bumped into Huang Bin!

Normally, with Huang Bin’s agility, he would have easily dodged, but his attention was completely fixed on the bottle in his hands; he didn’t notice Yu Peilin coming at him at all.

As a result, the two collided heavily.

The Lafite in Huang Bin’s hand dropped to the floor with a crash!

The bottle shattered, and the crimson wine splashed onto Yu Peilin’s skirt.

“Yikes!” “Ah!”

Yu Peilin and Huang Bin screamed in unison!

The difference was, Yu Peilin was distressed over her newly bought skirt getting stained, while Huang Bin was upset about the expensive wine being smashed!

“Why don’t you watch where you’re going?

You’ve stained my skirt, can you afford to compensate me?”

This skirt was purchased by Yu Peilin during Fashion Week in France, costing her six thousand yuan—how could she not feel heartbroken?
