When Meng Hao was truly kneeling in front of him, Xiao Yun felt a wave of turmoil in his heart. It seemed that Seventh Master was genuinely pulling out all the stops to win him over.
For Seventh Master, this Meng Hao was his lifeline; usually, no one could even touch a single hair on his head.
Not only was Xiao Yun shocked, but even Fire Phoenix, who was sitting nearby, showed a look of surprise in her eyes.
"Get up. For your grandfather's sake, I, Long San, don't want to make things difficult for you!" After all, in someone else's house, Xiao Yun couldn't refuse to give Seventh Master some face.
However, Xiao Yun had no good feelings towards someone like Meng Hao. He felt disgusted just seeing him.
Seventh Master then shouted at Meng Hao: "Why aren't you thanking Mr. Long yet?"
Meng Hao hurriedly got up from the ground, hanging his head as he stood in front of Xiao Yun, looking extremely reluctant as he muttered, "Thank you, Mr. Long."
Just as Meng Hao was about to turn and leave, Seventh Master added, "Hao, the reason Aunt Mei Yu invited you to her birthday party that day was entirely for your grandfather's sake. I didn't expect you to cause a scene there and speak recklessly, insulting your Aunt Mei Yu. Now, you should apologize to her!"
"Damn it, Grandpa, why should I apologize to that nasty woman? Who does she think she is?" Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Meng Hao twisted his neck and shouted defiantly.
In Meng Hao's mind, Drunken Lady was merely the goddaughter of Seventh Master. To him, being a goddaughter meant being someone who served the grandfather. Apologizing to Xiao Yun was already giving his grandfather enough face; now he was being asked to apologize to Drunken Lady, which felt like a deliberate attempt to embarrass him.
However, as soon as those words left Meng Hao's mouth, Drunken Lady twisted her body and swiftly stepped forward, slapping him hard across the face with a loud crack.
The slap left Meng Hao stunned. He rolled his eyes and stared blankly at Drunken Lady, incredulously asking, "Did you just hit me?"
In his impression, no one dared to hit him in front of his grandfather. Moreover, he didn't consider Drunken Lady to be anyone significant.
"That's right! I did hit you, you brat!" Drunken Lady said angrily, her face flushed and her chest heaving dramatically.
Both Xiao Yun and Fire Phoenix looked on in astonishment; they never expected that Drunken Lady would dare to slap Meng Hao right in front of Seventh Master.
Seventh Master sat there with a very grim expression, his hands holding the teacup trembling slightly in anger.
"You filthy woman, are you tired of living?" Meng Hao reached for a stool and hurled it towards Drunken Lady.
Unexpectedly, Drunken Lady did not dodge or evade; she raised her delicate hand, effortlessly caught the stool, and placed it on the ground. Then, she spun gracefully, executing a beautiful arc, and delivered a stunning kick towards Meng Hao.
Bang!
Meng Hao was sent flying, crashing into a wall.
Xiao Yun was slightly taken aback, not expecting Drunken Lady to be so agile.
Fire Phoenix Miyoko Matsuno, however, remained calm and composed, watching the scene unfold with tranquility.
On the ground, Meng Hao struggled to get up. Clearly, Drunken Lady's skills had completely caught him off guard. He dared not shout at her again; instead, he covered his rapidly swelling face and rushed to Seventh Master, crying out, "Grandfather, this filthy woman dared to hit me! Please help your grandson..."
"Shut up!" To his surprise, before he could finish speaking, slap! Slap! In a fit of rage, Seventh Master suddenly struck him twice more across the face.
This time, Meng Hao was truly dazed from the blows, and in an instant, his face resembled that of a fat pig's head.
It was as if Meng Hao did not recognize Seventh Master, staring at him in shock and disbelief.
Seventh Master shouted at Wu Ma, "Take this little brat away! He's really driving me mad!"
After Wu Ma dragged Meng Hao away, Seventh Master remained in a daze for a moment. Suddenly realizing there were guests present, he let out a heavy sigh and smiled apologetically at Xiao Yun and Fire Phoenix, saying, "I’m truly sorry for the embarrassment. It’s really unfortunate for my family; I never expected my Meng Family would produce such a rebellious child!"
Xiao Yun replied with a smile, "Don’t be too hard on yourself, Seventh Master. It's best to take things lightly!"
Seventh Master nodded repeatedly. Turning to face Drunken Lady, in front of Xiao Yun and Fire Phoenix, he took one of her hands and gently caressed her hand's back. His eyes were filled with kindness and affection as he sighed softly, " Charming Jade, I’m sorry for putting you through this..."
At the moment Seventh Master grabbed Drunken Lady's hand, Xiao Yun activated his Spiritual Sense. When he saw the phones on both of them, his heart skipped a beat, and he was immensely shocked.
Xiao Yun noticed that at the point where their hands touched, the Qi Mechanism on both of them changed to the same color and then merged into one. From this phenomenon, it appeared that they had a very close blood relationship.
—If that’s the case, why does Drunken Lady always refer to Seventh Master as Godfather?
“Godfather, don’t forget the guests you’re treating today!” Before Seventh Master could finish his sentence, Drunken Lady rudely pulled her hand back.
Seventh Master awkwardly smiled at Xiao Yun, saying, “Ah, I’m getting old, and my mind isn’t as clear anymore. Mr. Long, I hope you won’t take it to heart if I’ve been neglectful!”
“Haha, Seventh Master, it’s no problem! It’s an honor for me to meet you!” Xiao Yun laughed heartily.
“Good, Mr. Long, you truly are a generous person. By the way, I’ve heard that besides having a good capacity for alcohol, you can also concoct medicinal wine to treat people. May I ask who your teacher is?” Seventh Master chuckled and asked.
Hearing this, Fire Phoenix slightly trembled and fixed her gaze intently on Xiao Yun, waiting for his response.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, “Hehe, Seventh Master, it’s just a trivial skill. To be honest, I learned it out of necessity when I was young because my family was poor. My father sent me to follow a local doctor for two years to learn how to concoct medicinal wine for treatment. Later, I got into university and forgot most of it. As for that local doctor, I don’t even know his name; he has long since passed away!”
“Mr. Long, you’re being modest. Alright, let’s not dwell on that anymore. How about we take our seats?”
Seventh Master led Xiao Yun and the others around a screen into the dining room.
The table in the dining room was filled with more than ten dishes and various fine wines.
Seventh Master sat in the center while Xiao Yun and the other three took their places around him.
A maid came over to open the wine and poured each person a full glass.
Then, Seventh Master raised his glass, looking at Xiao Yun with meaningful eyes, and said with a smile, “Mr. Long, it’s truly a blessing for me to know you. If there’s an opportunity, I hope you can often come here as my guest so we can become lifelong friends—uh, enough talk; let me toast you first!”
Xiao Yun could tell that there seemed to be some hidden meaning behind Seventh Master's smile, but he couldn't quite figure out what it was.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Seventh Master!" Xiao Yun downed the drink in his cup.
At that moment, Drunken Lady raised her glass towards Fire Phoenix, a surge of killing intent in her heart, yet her pretty face wore a charming smile as she said, "Boss, let me toast you as well!"
"Thank you, Drunken Lady!"
Fire Phoenix and Drunken Lady raised their glasses simultaneously and drank them down in one go.
After finishing their drinks, Fire Phoenix had a smirk on her lips that resembled a challenge as she intentionally turned her empty glass upside down towards Drunken Lady, leaving not a single drop.
Seeing Fire Phoenix drink so boldly, a hint of surprise flashed in Drunken Lady's eyes.
She hadn't expected this young Beautiful CEO to be so fearless when it came to drinking.
Drunken Lady could see that just based on the momentum with which Miyoko Matsuno had just drunk, she was definitely a woman with good alcohol tolerance. She couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking to herself that no matter how good Miyoko Matsuno's drinking skills were, she was unfortunately up against me, Drunken Lady.
A cold glint flashed through Drunken Lady's eyes.
"Boss, it seems you have quite the capacity for alcohol. If you don't mind, how about we have a drinking contest?" Drunken Lady said provocatively as she looked at Fire Phoenix.
