Sticking to Mr.Chairman in This Life
Chapter 683: What Exactly is the System?
CHAPTER 683: CHAPTER 683: WHAT EXACTLY IS THE SYSTEM?
At that moment, no one cared whether the wine was good or not; as long as everyone was happy, they drank to their heart’s content.
Huo Jialin had been eyeing this fine wine for a long time.
With the opportunity to drink freely, of course, he wouldn’t miss out.
After toasting Su Ge, he toasted Mu Zhenzhen, downing a glass each time.
Mu Zhenzhen was forthright; when Huo Jialin finished his glass, she raised hers and also downed it in one go.
Huo Jiaqi was concerned about her health, giving Huo Jialin a glare.
But Huo Jialin didn’t care, toasting these two, then moving on to the elder couple of the Huo Family.
Despite receiving cold looks, he ended up drinking a few more glasses.
Only then did Su Ge realize that Huo Jialin’s alcohol tolerance was actually quite impressive.
He was able to drink four consecutive glasses of such strong liquor.
At the same time, she also realized that Huo Jialin was a true drinker.
He was even toasting to honor his parents’ nurturing grace.
Was he out of people to toast?
He hadn’t even found a wife yet; what upbringing grace was there to thank?
Isn’t he still being taken care of at home?
"Xiao Ge, I’m so glad to know you, come on, let me toast you another glass," he said.
Just as Su Ge was internally mocking Huo Jialin, who would have known that he’d lift his glass towards her again.
Glad to know her?
Is he sure?
Su Ge stiffly picked up the wine glass from the table and accepted Huo Jialin’s toast.
The alcohol content of the wine wasn’t really high, but Su Ge’s alcohol tolerance was indeed quite poor.
After just two glasses, she already felt her cheeks heating up.
After putting down her glass, she hurriedly ate some dishes.
The delicacies prepared by the Huo Family happened to suit her taste.
But Huo Jialin obviously wasn’t satisfied with the amount of drinking, as during Su Ge’s meal, his gaze constantly hovered over her.
Seeing that Su Ge seemed finally full and put down her chopsticks, he immediately lifted his glass, "Xiao Ge, come, let me toast you another glass."
This time he didn’t bother with pleasantries; he just gave a heads-up to Su Ge before downing his drink.
He was toasting purely for the sake of drinking.
And the recipient of his toast was Su Ge, the person who drank the least.
Huo Zhengting and Mrs. Huo of course hoped to see a good relationship between Su Ge and Huo Jialin, so they turned a blind eye to Huo Jialin’s behavior.
No matter if Huo Jialin was toasting simply to drink or with genuine intention, as long as it meant he could talk more with Xiao Ge, they were happy.
Huo Jialin had toasted, so Su Ge, of course, could not lack manners.
She braced herself and drank another glass of wine.
After finishing, she glared at Huo Jialin powerfully, her eyes threatening him not to propose another toast to her.
Huo Jialin was disdainful of her glare.
If he wasn’t intent on enjoying the Old Master’s fine wine, he wouldn’t bother toasting her.
She should feel honored that Huo Jialin toasted her.
Fortunately, afterward, everyone was busy eating and no one proposed any toasts.
However, Huo Zhengting was in high spirits and had a few more drinks with Mu Zhenzhen during the meal.
Su Ge didn’t count how many glasses Mu Zhenzhen drank today, but she felt that Mu Zhenzhen’s alcohol tolerance was really strong.
Even Huo Zhengting seemed a bit tipsy, yet Mu Zhenzhen’s soft and gentle face showed no change at all.
Her manners were still elegant, her speech was still polite; she was not the slightest bit drunk.
Not only did Huo Jiaqi look at her with a gaze full of astonishment.
Even Huo Jialin couldn’t help but take a few more peeks at her.
What kind of constitution does this woman have?
Is she someone who never gets drunk no matter how much she drinks?
She doesn’t seem like someone who frequents bars and treats alcohol like water.
Such people are truly rare in this world.
It was clear that Huo Zhengting, although a good drinker, had his limits, and towards the end, Mrs. Huo urgently persuaded him not to drink any more.
