Jiang Wancheng took a deep look at his father.
Others might not know, but he understood his father very well.
His father was not someone who would easily change his mind.
Moreover, he had strongly opposed the marriage in private from the very beginning.
“Everyone.”
Jiang Wancheng clapped his hands.
Everyone’s attention immediately turned toward him.
Jiang Wancheng smiled.
“Everyone already knows each other, but let me formally introduce the handsome young man beside me. He is Muxue’s husband, Qin Yang.”
“Little Qin and Muxue are already legally married. He is now my son-in-law. Everyone here today is a friend or relative of our family, so I hope that all of you will look after him in the future.”
Liang Lan also stepped forward.
She said, “We opposed their marriage in the beginning, but after spending time with Little Qin, we realized that he’s actually a pretty good person. My husband and I both approve of Little Qin as our son-in-law.”
“Muxue hasn’t recovered yet, so the wedding has to be postponed. Today, we’re simply gathering together, and we’ll introduce Little Qin to everyone first.”
After Liang Lan finished speaking, she waved Qin Yang over.
Qin Yang walked to her side.
“Little Qin, my husband and I often have to travel for work. Now that you and Muxue are married, you’ll have to take good care of her in the future.”
Liang Lan smiled.
Qin Yang nodded.
“Auntie Liang, don’t worry. And to all the relatives and friends who care about Muxue, please rest assured as well. I will definitely take good care of Muxue and won’t let her suffer any more harm.”
As he said this, Qin Yang carefully observed the expressions of Jiang Wanyue and the others.
He noticed something unusual about two people.
One was Jiang Wanyue.
The other was Jiang Wanyue’s wife.
“Could they have secretly sabotaged her?”
Qin Yang wondered inwardly.
The possibility wasn’t low.
Jiang Wanyue was the eldest of the three Jiang brothers, and he had two sons, Jiang Haolong and Jiang Haohu.
Yet his assets were the smallest among the three brothers.
Although he still had tens of millions of yuan in assets—which was already an enormous amount compared with ordinary people—Jiang Wanchuan had several hundred million, while Jiang Wancheng, the youngest brother, possessed a terrifying fortune worth hundreds of billions.
Among the three brothers, the eldest was the poorest.
It was quite normal for him to feel psychologically unbalanced.
Of course, all of this was still just speculation.
Without solid evidence, Qin Yang certainly wouldn’t tell Jiang Wancheng about it.
Jiang Wancheng probably had his own suspicions anyway.
There was no need for Qin Yang to say anything.
“Everyone, please take your seats.”
Jiang Wancheng smiled as he greeted everyone.
Everyone took their seats.
Qin Yang sat together with Jiang Haolong and the other younger members.
The food and wine had already been served, and Jiang Haolong poured himself a glass of liquor.
“Everyone, I lost the calligraphy competition. According to our previous agreement, I have to drink three liang of liquor. A real man never goes back on his word, so I’ll drink this first.”
After saying this, he used a small liquor decanter to pour 150 milliliters of baijiu.
Then he downed it in one gulp.
“Good!”
“Brother Haolong can really hold his liquor!”
Everyone praised him.
After drinking the three liang of baijiu, Jiang Haolong didn’t even change his expression.
“Everyone, don’t just watch me. You forgot that the brother-in-law is today’s main character. We should toast him more.”
“That’s right.”
Jiang Haohu, Jiang Haoran, and the others spoke up.
They were extremely displeased with Qin Yang now.
Jiang Haolong had suffered a hidden loss when he competed with Qin Yang in that handshake, and then all of them had been completely crushed by Qin Yang in the calligraphy competition.
Drinking was the perfect opportunity for them to win back some face.
Surely several of them couldn’t possibly lose to Qin Yang in drinking as well?
“Dear friends and relatives, thank you all for coming today. My wife and I will first raise a toast to everyone as a small token of our appreciation.”
Jiang Wancheng and Liang Lan stood up.
After Jiang Wancheng finished speaking, both of them emptied the liquor in their glasses.
“Good!”
“Clap, clap, clap!”
Many people applauded and cheered.
Jiang Wancheng smiled.
“Everyone, none of you here are outsiders. From this point on, just drink however you like. There are no rules today. Eat well and drink well.”
“Good!”
The atmosphere in the private room quickly became lively.
“Brother-in-law, shall we have one first?”
Jiang Haolong smiled.
“After that, you’ll probably have to go around the other tables to offer toasts.”
There were a total of ten tables.
One cup at each table would add up to half a jin of liquor.
They were using tiny five-qian liquor cups.
“Sure.”
Qin Yang nodded.
He sneered inwardly.
It would be fine if Jiang Haolong and the others didn’t try to force him to drink.
But if they really wanted to drink him under the table, all of them would be lying on the floor by the end of the day.
“Cheers.”
Soon, Qin Yang and the others finished a glass together.
“Brother-in-law, now it’s your turn to show what you’ve got.”
“Everyone came here because of you. You should toast everyone, right?”
Jiang Haoran said with a smile.
Qin Yang nodded slightly.
That was indeed what he should do.
Soon, he carried his glass over to Jiang Wancheng’s table.
“Old Master Jiang, Uncle Jiang, Auntie Liang, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle…”
“I’ll toast all of you.”
After Qin Yang finished speaking, he downed his drink in one go.
Ten minutes later, Qin Yang had finished toasting every table.
He hadn’t cheated while drinking these drinks.
He had honestly swallowed them all.
But half a jin of liquor was nothing to him.
“Brother-in-law, I’ll toast you.”
“Brother-in-law, you’ve got quite the drinking capacity. I’ll toast you too.”
As soon as Qin Yang returned from the toasts, Jiang Haolong and the others immediately took action.
One after another, they came over to toast Qin Yang.
Qin Yang accepted every toast without refusing.
Whenever the liquor entered his mouth, he immediately transferred it into the system space.
His strength had increased somewhat, and the system space had now expanded to more than five hundred cubic meters.
“Little Qin, take it easy.”
“Haolong, you can’t keep forcing Qin Yang to drink like this.”
Liang Lan came over to Qin Yang’s side.
“Third Aunt, don’t worry.”
“Third Aunt, if Brother-in-law can’t drink anymore, we won’t force him.”
Liang Lan nodded.
Seeing that Qin Yang still looked fine, she didn’t say anything more.
Time passed minute by minute.
Some people from the other tables also came over to drink with Qin Yang.
After more than an hour, Qin Yang had drunk at least three jin of baijiu.
Jiang Haolong and the others were beginning to question their lives.
They were already close to their limit and were getting drunk, yet Qin Yang was still perfectly fine.
Even when Qin Yang went to the bathroom, someone followed him.
Jiang Haolong and the others confirmed that Qin Yang hadn’t secretly thrown up the alcohol.
“Brother-in-law, how about we switch to larger drinking glasses?”
“I don’t feel like we’re drinking enough with these tiny cups.”
Jiang Haoran suggested.
“Yeah, larger glasses would be better.”
“Let’s all switch.”
Jiang Haolong and the others immediately agreed.
Qin Yang waved his hand.
A waiter quickly came over.
“Mr. Qin, what can I do for you?”
“Could you bring us eight large beer glasses?”
“Of course.”
Soon, the waiter brought over the beer glasses.
Jiang Haoran said, “Brother-in-law, we’re only changing the glasses. We didn’t say we’d switch to beer.”
Qin Yang nodded.
“I never said we were switching to beer either.”
With that, Qin Yang poured himself a large glass of baijiu.
Jiang Haolong and the others felt their hearts tighten when they saw this.
But they were the ones who had suggested switching to larger glasses.
How could they back down now?
Soon, everyone poured themselves a large glass of baijiu.
Each glass contained at least half a jin.
“Everyone, let’s finish one first.”
As Qin Yang spoke, he raised his glass and downed it in one go.
The moment the liquor entered his mouth, it was immediately transferred into the system space.
“This…”
Jiang Haolong and the others were completely dumbfounded.
That was way too fierce.
“Big Cousin, why aren’t you… drinking?”
Qin Yang pretended to be drunk and slurred his words.
Jiang Haolong and the others exchanged glances.
“Let’s go all out!”
Jiang Haolong and the others began drinking.
They simply refused to believe that they couldn’t be the ones to knock Qin Yang down first.
