“Don’t chicken out, Kang! Siyao is watching you, and your brother is watching too. Come on! If you’re a man, down it in one gulp!” Su Han declared righteously.
One glass of liquor. One friendship.
Only now did Sun Kang truly understand just how much weight this single glass carried.
It was damn heavy!
“Su Han, can’t we use a smaller glass? This is way too…”
“What’s wrong, Kang? Are you looking down on your brother? I already told you. As long as you down this glass in one gulp, Siyao is yours! At today’s Engagement Banquet, you’ll be the protagonist! Your brother will applaud you and cheer you on! How about it?”
After Su Han’s passionate barrage, Sun Kang was completely tempted.
‘Damn it!’
He stared at the enormous glass of baijiu before him, then thought about Chen Siyao’s breathtaking beauty, like a celestial maiden descended into the mortal world.
He decided to gamble!
“All right, Su Han! You said it yourself! Once I finish this glass, you’ll give Siyao to me!”
“You have my word!”
With Su Han giving such a solemn guarantee, Sun Kang could no longer resist. He picked up the large beer mug and began gulping down the liquor.
Gulp, gulp, gulp…
However, before he had even finished half of it, he already felt the urge to vomit!
In truth, Sun Kang could normally handle around 750 mL of liquor.
But today, he had been drinking far too quickly!
He had already consumed nearly 500 mL and was actually somewhat drunk. Worse still, he had not eaten even a single peanut. Drinking nothing but liquor on an empty stomach made the effects far more difficult to withstand.
Now that he had downed half a large beer mug of Wuliangye, Sun Kang felt as though the entire world were spinning around him!
‘Damn it, hold on! I just need to endure… and Siyao will be mine! Damn you, Su Han. You actually dared to give me this opportunity? Hehe, I’m afraid you’re going to regret it. The goddess is mine!’
Sun Kang desperately encouraged himself as he continued gulping down the liquor as though his life depended on it.
This time, he was truly putting everything on the line!
Yet with the protagonist halo protecting him, Sun Kang actually managed to finish the entire massive glass of Wuliangye.
However, just as he set the empty mug down, Su Han picked up his own bottle. There was still roughly 100 mL of Wuliangye left at the bottom, and he promptly poured all of it into Sun Kang’s mug.
“Come on, Kang. If we’re drinking, we might as well drink to our hearts’ content. There’s still a small refill here. Consider it a little trailer attached to that last glass… Come on, finish it, and Siyao will immediately be yours!”
“Fuck!”
Sun Kang had never imagined that after finishing such an enormous glass, there would somehow be a small refill waiting behind it.
He glared viciously at Su Han, but the violent dizziness could no longer be suppressed. Supporting himself against the table, Sun Kang staggered several steps before collapsing to the floor with a thud.
Even as he fell, he continued cursing, “Su Han! I ***!”
Meanwhile, Su Han glanced at the small amount remaining in the Wuliangye bottle. It was no more than 100 mL.
“Ah, Kang! I’m not criticizing you, but how could you fail when you were so close?”
“Seriously, I gave you the opportunity, but you couldn’t seize it. Tsk, tsk, look at you now, lying there like a pile of mud. I wonder what Siyao will think when she sees you later!”
“Well, since you’ve drunk yourself unconscious, I’ll gladly accept that little slip of paper!”
As Su Han spoke, he searched Sun Kang’s clothes. Before long, he pulled out an exquisite little slip of paper.
There was nothing written on it except a single phone number stamped in gold!
It gave off an unusually mysterious air.
Su Han chuckled and tucked the slip away. Immediately afterward, a system notification rang in his mind.
[Ding! 1 of the protagonist’s trump cards has been intercepted. The protagonist’s luck has been altered to a minor degree. 40 Luck Points have been plundered!]
[Friendly Reminder: Your current Luck Points are 45, which is still below 50. You will suffer a bloody calamity within 1 week. Please earn Luck Points as quickly as possible to prevent this tragedy from occurring!]
“Hiss… One reminder is enough. Are you going to keep repeating it forever?”
Clutching the little slip of paper, Su Han chuckled and beckoned toward one of his subordinates near the doorway.
“Come here. Go get some water and wipe Brother Kang’s face. Wake him up! Also, my Engagement Banquet can’t possibly be without Brother Kang. Make sure he sits in the most conspicuous seat later. Understand?”
The subordinate nodded repeatedly.
In his eyes, Su Han was truly an exceptionally loyal friend!
Not only had he privately shared drinks with his brother, but even after his brother became dead drunk, Su Han still refused to abandon him.
Before long, however, the banquet had officially begun.
Just as the numerous guests took their seats inside the hotel’s banquet hall, there was one table where a man reeking of alcohol lay sprawled across the surface. From time to time, thunderous snores erupted from him as drunken words slipped from his mouth.
“Su Han, where’s the huge red envelope you promised me?! I’m still awake! Don’t even think about backing out!”
“Damn it, Chen Siyao! You bitch! Aren’t you marrying Su Han just for his money? Your whole family is obsessed with money! You think I don’t know? Tch…”
“Kneel! Kneel before me, Su Han! If it weren’t for you, I would’ve gotten that woman long ago! Why the hell do you deserve to have so much money and assets worth hundreds of millions? Who the hell do you think you are? You’re fucking trash!”
“Fuck this brotherhood! Can’t you see your brother is dirt poor right now? If you really consider me your brother, give me 50 million! Then maybe I’ll acknowledge you as half a brother!”
His drunken ravings stunned the entire banquet hall!
Sun Kang never imagined that a few drunken words spoken while half-asleep would instantly turn him into the protagonist of the entire banquet.
It was exactly as Su Han had promised.
Tonight, Sun Kang truly became the brightest star in the room!
At the main table, Chen Siyao’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Sun Kang had always appeared gentle, refined, and cultured. How could he say such disgusting things after getting drunk today?
Worse still, he had called her entire family money-grubbers!
This was simply… unforgivable!
Mother Chen’s expression became extremely ugly as she asked, “Siyao, who is this person? Listen to what he’s saying about our family! Don’t tell me he’s one of the classmates you invited?”
With such a grand Engagement Banquet, Mother Chen had originally felt extremely proud and honored.
But now, a drunken madman had publicly exposed her motives in front of everyone.
She could barely maintain her composure.
Meanwhile, the other guests frowned deeply.
“Wasn’t this guy supposed to be Su Han’s good friend? He even covets his friend’s fiancée. What a piece of scum!”
“Exactly! He even wants Su Han to give him 50 million? Tsk, tsk. Just how shameless does someone have to be to say something like that…?”
“I never expected Sun Kang to have been pretending all this time. His character is terrible!”
“Remember this man. Never cooperate with him in the future! Otherwise, be careful that he doesn’t turn against you the moment you’ve outlived your usefulness. Sigh… young people these days truly surpass this old man’s imagination.”
The favorable impression everyone had gained from Sun Kang’s generous display at the entrance vanished without a trace in an instant.
Instead, the drunken man had now been deeply engraved in their memories.
Everyone understood one thing clearly.
Sun Kang was someone they absolutely could not cooperate with in the future!
[Ding! The protagonist’s fate has been slightly altered. 15 Luck Points have been plundered!]
