A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire
Chapter 1066: The Drug
Seeing Zhuang Chujiao being so attentive, Mu Yan was a bit surprised.
Zhuang Chujiao placed the tray on the table and handed tea to the elders one by one.
With two cups left, she handed one to Mu Yan, "Nuannuan, this is imported French red tea, give it a try."
She held the cup with both hands, looking at her with a kind smile, making it impossible for Mu Yan to refuse.
She took the teacup and placed it on the table.
Old Mrs. Zhuang took a sip of red tea and seeing Mu Yan not moving, she asked, "Nuannuan, have a taste, it’s quite good. Jiaojiao only makes tea like this when you’re here, otherwise we don’t normally get such good fortune."
"Mom, you’re joking, as long as you want, Jiaojiao will definitely brew it for you right away," said Liang Rong hurriedly.
The old lady smiled but didn’t reply.
Instead, she recalled the times when the two granddaughters were young. Jiaojiao was also as obedient as Nuannuan at first, but she didn’t know when her personality became spoiled.
Truth be told, it was their failure to teach her properly, but fortunately, she’s changed now.
Zhuang Chujiao said again, "It seems Nuannuan doesn’t like red tea, how about I brew you some other tea?"
As she spoke, she was about to get up.
If Mu Yan didn’t drink, the elders would only think she was being difficult on purpose, making Zhuang Chujiao go through unnecessary trouble.
She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to Zhuang Chujiao, "Thank you, it’s quite good."
"I’m glad you like it. I also ordered some cake this afternoon, I’ll go get it," Zhuang Chujiao said as she went to the kitchen.
Mu Yan watched her back, feeling a bit suspicious. Tonight, Zhuang Chujiao was acting a bit strange.
Before long, Zhuang Chujiao came back with the cake.
The elders didn’t care much for sweets but ate some to be polite.
When it came to Mu Yan, she outright refused to eat anything Zhuang Chujiao offered.
In the dining area, several men were still chatting and drinking, but the old ladies couldn’t hold up, feeling sleepy and wanting to return to their rooms.
Mu Yan also fought her sleepiness and yawned several times.
Seeing this, Ruan Xinyu said, "Nuannuan, go to your room and sleep, no need to wait for Jing Heng."
Mu Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
If she waited there for Jiang Jingheng, Zhuang Yi would definitely tease her later.
She returned to her room and shortly after lying on the bed, fell asleep.
Downstairs, seeing Mu Yan had gone to sleep, Jiang Jingheng also prepared to stop, but was interrupted by Guan Chao.
"Brother-in-law, it’s too early to stop, let’s continue drinking," Guan Chao said, turning to Zhuang Chujiao in the living room, "Jiaojiao, would you like to come have a few drinks?"
Zhuang Chujiao laughed, "Sure."
She came over and sat next to Guan Chao.
Guan Chao poured her a glass of wine, "Our Jiaojiao has a great capacity for drinking, maybe combined, the three of us men don’t even match her."
"You’re flattering me," Zhuang Chujiao laughed, her gaze falling on Jiang Jingheng, who remained impassive, "Brother Jingheng is the one with real capacity."
Jiang Jingheng didn’t even look at her, clinking glasses with Zhuang Yi beside him.
Zhuang Chujiao did not get upset, starting to drink with Guan Chao beside her.
Before long, a bottle of alcohol was finished.
Feeling it was enough, Zhuang Yi said, "Let’s call it a night."
"No way, I think brother-in-law hasn’t had enough, Jiaojiao, I’m a bit thirsty, could you bring us some tea so we can continue?" Guan Chao said.
"Alright!" Zhuang Chujiao replied, getting up to go to the kitchen.
Zhuang Yi looked at Guan Chao helplessly, "Do you plan to drink us into the hospital during the New Year?"
Guan Chao shrugged, "President Jiang married my childhood goddess, leaving me depressed for quite some time. Now you won’t even allow me to drink a few more rounds with him."
Zhuang Yi smiled at his words, "Suit yourself."
In the kitchen, Zhuang Chujiao brewed four cups of tea, took a glance at the doorway, pulled out a pill from her pocket and quickly dropped it into the cup on the far left, then carried out the tea.
