Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 519 - 475: Lin Yi Really Does Have a Headache
On the side, Li Huiqun naturally knew the boss’s intentions and also understood what Li Wentao was thinking at this moment.
So he didn’t mention anything about it, pretending not to know anything, and started the car from the driver’s seat.
He was still quite annoyed by the boss’s teasing, though.
He even contemplated whether to just throw those two boxes of fireworks in the trunk into a garbage can.
Well, you’re not supposed to hit someone in the face when you fight, nor expose their secrets when you scold them. But here, he was dipping right into his scars and sprinkling salt on them.
However, Lin Yi’s words indeed left Li Wentao somewhat confused, not knowing what he meant by that.
And seeing this guy looking like he wanted to ask the boss, Li Huiqun immediately felt upset.
"Boss, that’s not fair, everyone has their embarrassing moments. Otherwise, I might just go have a nice chat with my sister-in-law later. Hmm, hmm, you know, you’re not exactly the well-behaved type since childhood."
At this point, Li Huiqun deliberately paused, and he also flashed a mischievous smile.
It seemed if Lin Yi continued with this topic, he would run off to tattle to Xiao Zihan.
Watching these two guys banter with each other, Li Wentao’s earlier feeling of inferiority gradually faded away.
From the start until now, it seemed these two didn’t distance themselves from him in any way; they spoke and acted no differently than before.
This confirmed Lin Yi’s earlier thoughts that he couldn’t just persuade this guy; he had to let him slowly come to terms with himself. And it worked.
"So, you two, where are you taking me? It’s New Year’s Eve, shouldn’t we be at home instead of wandering around?"
Hearing Li Wentao’s words, the two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously burst out laughing:
"Haha, why don’t you take a look at what’s in the back?"
...
You have to admit, men’s happiness is so simple, even for someone like Lin Yi...
As usual, they drove straight to the riverside and unloaded all the fireworks from the car.
While the fireworks were the same, lighting them didn’t evoke the same joy as in childhood.
Even though there was no worry about running out of fireworks this time, after lighting a few, they all paused.
"Alright, enough, we’re done for today. Let’s find a place to have a drink, shall we?"
He casually tossed the unused fireworks into the box and then waved to the other two.
The two were up for it, too, and put away their fireworks, heading back to the car. But then Li Wentao spoke up:
"Where could we go? On New Year’s Eve, what restaurant would be open? Let’s just eat at my place for lunch today."
After hearing this, Lin Yi and Li Huiqun nodded in agreement. Right, we aren’t in the city center, so the town’s restaurants would have closed early on New Year’s Eve. Not only today, but they probably won’t open until after the fifth day of the new year.
So the two didn’t stand on ceremony and drove straight back to Li Wentao’s house.
By the time they’d taken a little drive, it was already midday.
When they returned, Li Wentao’s mom had already set the table with a spread of dishes.
These two had eaten at his house many times before, so they weren’t treated as guests. Once the table was set, they dove right into the meal.
Seeing the three lads, Li Wentao’s dad brought out his treasured good liquor, a bottle of Hai Zhi Lan worth over a hundred yuan.
"Come on, you little brats, you’re all college students now, let’s have a drink together," he said.
Contrary to Empress Dowager Ye’s strictness, Li Wentao’s mom didn’t object.
Seeing the situation, not only did she not speak against it, but she also brought out cups for them.
But looking at the bottle of liquor, each of them had different thoughts.
Li Wentao’s dad thought, finally, a chance to bring out this bottle. Normally, he’d be too frugal to drink it.
And Li Wentao? As he looked at the bottle, he laughed bitterly.
For his family, a bottle of liquor over a hundred yuan was quite something.
His dad had saved it for over a year without drinking it.
But for the two brothers in front of him, this kind of liquor might be too hard to swallow...
That’s what the father and son were feeling, while Lin Yi and Li Huiqun smiled wryly with resignation.
It wasn’t really about the price of the liquor; it was just that these two had a notoriously low tolerance.
They would get a headache just looking at white liquor. As they looked at the bottle, they both thought of the blue pills from Luo Ning’s full moon celebration.
But, of course, this wasn’t the time to use those pills.
Among brothers, if you can drink, you drink; if you can’t, don’t worry about it, there’s no need to cheat.
Just as the two were feeling helpless, Li Wentao’s dad poured liquor into their cups.
Seeing this, both of them could only take the cups with a wry smile.
If outsiders saw this scene, their jaws would drop in surprise.
After all, many business moguls had offered Lin Yi and the others drinks, but they never accepted them.
Yet here in front of this ordinary-looking middle-aged man, Lin Yi was accepting the drink with no choice.
It turned out Li Wentao really inherited his dad’s ability to drink.
Fortunately, the goal today wasn’t to get anyone drunk, so Li Wentao’s dad occasionally savored a sip without trying to clink glasses with them.
And because of that, Lin Yi and Li Huiqun still had more than half a cup left after sipping for ten minutes.
Across from them, the father and son had each finished a couple of cups already.
Although the cups were small, there was only one bottle of liquor.
Once divided, the bottle quickly ran dry.
After not seeing each other for a while, the meal went on for a long time.
After eating, Li Wentao’s parents put down their chopsticks to go out for a stroll, letting the brothers hang out at home.
And before leaving, they even brought back a whole box of beer for the three...
