NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Look again carefully, who is he looking at?
Song Yan had just one drink and was already tipsy.
Lu Zhanying quietly switched the alcohol in her glass for lemon water without her noticing.
After all, they had given her the lowest-proof alcohol they had.
It was indeed true that she was a lightweight, the reputation was well-deserved.
Song Yan rested her hands on the bar, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, "Yingying, I'm so sad, woohoo, I really want to cry."
Lu Zhanying glanced at her.
Wasn't she already crying?
"You're upset about what, exactly?" Lu Zhanying said indifferently: "Your dad's conditions just go to show that from the beginning, he never really intended to marry that woman. He's doing this solely to force you to come home."
Such a simple truth, she could see it clearly, could Song Yan not?
Song Yan shook her head, pouting, "You don't understand."
Lu Zhanying: "..."
Indeed, she didn't understand.
After all, she didn't have a huge inheritance to claim, nor a father trying to force her to return home.
"Woohoo, I'm so sad, so terribly sad!"
Following that, Song Yan turned on her 'repeat mode,' muttering 'so sad, so sad' over and over again.
"What exactly is making you so sad?" Lu Zhanying was somewhat annoyed with her and after some thought, speculated, "Is it because of love?"
Thinking this, she turned her head and gave an instruction to the bartender. Within minutes, the music that had been playing in the bar suddenly changed to the song "Happy Breakup."
Happy Breakup, wish you happiness
You can find someone better
Tired of the heavy burden of winter
Go swim in the tropical islands
Happy Breakup, please be happy
Bid farewell to the wrong one so you can meet the right one
Leaving an old love is like a slow ride
Once your heart sees through, it will be sunny
...
The sudden play of this song in the bar changed the whole atmosphere.
The patrons all felt very puzzled and bewildered.
Lu Xian was also puzzled.
The 'good show' that Wei Shiran had mentioned, was it just to show him how to pick up girls?
Enough already.
Lu Xian looked at Song Yan, who was still seated in her original place, and with an incredulous expression, he turned to Wei Shiran and said, "Young Master Wei, if you want to hit on girls, why drag me along? Do you need me to cheer you on?"
It was just absurd.
Wei Shiran sighed, "Xianxian, not to scold you as your father, but how did I teach you all this time, for you to be so foolish?"
"..." Lu Xian's face darkened, and he kicked out, "Get lost."
Wei Shiran chuckled, deftly dodging the kick, and became serious as he noticed a figure not far away.
"Look over there."
Lu Xian followed the direction he was pointing, initially uninterested, but when he saw Gu Chenxiao, he paused briefly, although he didn't make much of it.
"What about it? Is there something odd?"
Wei Shiran, portraying a disappointment akin to hating iron for not becoming steel, said, "Lu Xian, you're usually not so low on smarts, why are you acting like an imbecile now?"
Then, Lu Xian kicked out for the second time.
Wei Shiran was not in a mood to jest either. He turned earnest and said, "Haven't you noticed that Chenxiao has been acting out of the ordinary lately?"
Lu Xian pondered.
Indeed, that was true.
He and Wei Shiran liked to frequent bars, but Gu Chenxiao didn't.
But he thought it might be because this bar named Half-Drunk offered a really nice atmosphere, not too noisy, and felt quite comfortable, which is why Gu Chenxiao had come for a second time tonight after his first visit.
At that moment, Wei Shiran added, "Take a closer look at who he's watching."
Hearing this, Lu Xian paid attention to the detail.
Gu Chenxiao stood there, his gaze fixed straight ahead of him.
Following the direction of Gu Chenxiao's gaze...
Lu Xian saw a woman wearing an ink-colored strapless long dress.
