that seemed like it could break if he applied too much pressure. Yet, there was an unwavering determination within her, a force that pushed her forward relentlessly and filled those around her with e...Chen Ning has always integrated well into Song Jingye's life. She gets along very well with his comrades-in-arms, Zheng Ke, the squad leader, and so on. But apart from these workmates and friends, her friends in his personal life, such as Zhu Yuyan, the husband of Lawyer Shu, Gu Ruandong from Yaoya's family, and Lu Kuo and his wife, are very unfamiliar to her. She is quite different from them in terms of status, occupation, and background.
As for Song Jingye, she saw more of his side as a leader giving orders at work, and rarely saw his side when he was with friends.
So I'm a little curious about what he's like around his friends in life.
This time, Lu Kuo and his sister Yao Yao formed a party together. Although the couple still stayed in separate private rooms, they both posted the address of the same restaurant in the group chat.
After Song Jingye helped Chen Ling return to the private room, he went to meet Lu Kuo and the others. He was the last one to arrive.
These people are all busybodies in their daily lives. Besides Song Jingye, the other three are in Senzhou. It is difficult to get them together unless there is something important. For a whole year, they can only return to Beijing for a few days of rest during the Spring Festival.
As soon as he stepped into the private room, Lu Kuo immediately shouted, “This time you are the main character. I don't need to say more, do I”
Song Jingye pulled up a chair and sat down, feigning ignorance: "You guys drink freely, I'm treating."
Lu Kuo: "Who asked you to invite! This time, you can't refuse to drink under any pretext. They are just next door, so you don't have to worry about them."
The person who can't drink at all always shouts the loudest.
Of course, he was also the most confident one who dared to drink more. According to last time's experience, those women next door, only his wife Ruan Ruan was the most calm and composed. Ting Lan and Yao Yao were both drunk, only Ruan Ruan was sober. For this, he was proud for a long time.
"Yao Yao looked down on him, "If Ruan Ruan met a husband like you, she would dare to be so unrestrained Don't you reflect on yourself and become proud"
That's because my daughter, Ruanruan, is the most well-behaved.
Song Jingye didn't drink much because of his job. After the incident with Chen Ling where they got into a fight after drinking, he completely stopped drinking.
Today, he came intending to break his vow and have a drink. But when Lu Kuo mentioned the women next door, he reconsidered. He thought, Chen Ning might seem calm and well-behaved on the surface, but she's easily provoked once someone offers her alcohol. She wouldn't hesitate to ask for more if denied, and with YaoYao around, it was clear what would happen later. So, he had to stay sober.
The other two men present, Zhuo YUAN and Gu Ruandong, sat there very calmly, showing no emotion on their faces. However, their thoughts were probably the same as Song Jingye's, the woman next door was not someone to be trusted.
So Lu Kuo thought they were all terribly boring. They had finally managed to get together, but they didn't even drink a drop of alcohol, which was really disappointing!
Zuo Yu'an saw that he was unhappy and kindly comforted him: "Come on, haven't you had enough socializing usually You know your alcohol tolerance is amazing now, we all admire you, you drink the best."
Gu Ruandong sat casually, one hand resting on the table, and smiled in agreement: "Mr. Zhuo is right."
"You two are taking turns lulling the child You sneaky little devils."
Zhuo Yuyan and Gu Ruandong both smiled without saying a word.
Lu Kuo has grown the fastest in recent years. He is also a dignified Mr. Lu outside, but in front of his childhood friends, he is unwilling to play the role of Mr. Lu and likes to expose his true nature.
He always shouts about having a drink-off, but he never really pressures anyone to drink. He just wants to show off.
At the table, their daughter made a video call with her small voice asking when they would be home.
As soon as he heard his precious daughter's voice, his smile couldn't stop. Even his voice became sweet and tender, using repetition to lull the little ears to sleep first.
Song Jingye, who was listening nearby, got goosebumps all over. While Zhuo Yu'an and Gu Ruandong were used to it, they even subconsciously glanced at their phones. But, quietly, no one video-called them.
Lu Kuo kept talking to his daughter in the video, calling her "baby" this and "baby" that for a while. After hanging up, he looked at the three other men on the field who were silent, and proudly said: "There's no way around it, my daughter is too attached to me."
Zhuo Yu'an and Gu Ruandong, snorted coldly, as if they each didn't have a daughter.
Lu Kuo also realized that he wasn't at an advantage in front of the two of them. He shifted the blame to Song Jingye: "You have to step up too, you're all that's left."
Song Jingye, upon hearing this, calmly opened his phone album and placed a photo of Miya in the center of the table. His expression was equally proud. Besides Lu Kuo, even Zhuo Yu'an and Gu Ruandong glanced at his phone.
Lu Kuai: "What do you mean Who"
Song Jingye was very calm and didn't explain much, but his words were chilling: "My daughter."
Mia is a bit older than Xiaohe and Xiaodeng's daughter, and Gu Ruandong's daughter. Everyone else hasn't had a daughter yet.
Ever since he decided to adopt Mia, Chen Ling had been sending him lots of photos and videos of Mia, looking forward to the day they would finally meet.
Lu Kuo was shocked: "A illegitimate daughter With a foreigner"
Lu Kuò always reacts half a beat slower than everyone else. Zhuo Yǔ'ān and Gu Ruǎn Dōng glance at each other and instantly understand, it was him and Chen Lìng who raised it.
Lu Kuo reacted and retorted, "Come on, you're cheating to get a high score, that's too much!"
That girl looks mixed-race, she's really beautiful.
Of course, Lu Kuò thought that there was no girl in the world prettier than his little ears. He shared this feeling with Zhuo Yǔ'ān and Gu Ruǎn Dōng.
These four men, in their respective fields, or in terms of money, power, and social status, were already incomparable. However, when it came to their own beloved daughters, that childish mentality of comparison became evident. On the surface, they didn't say anything, but in their hearts, they were secretly competing, each believing that only their own precious daughter was worthy of being called an angel.
Shu Xiaohua resembled her mother in appearance, possessing natural beauty. She was the apple of Zhao Yunan's eye.
Little ears inherited the best qualities from both her parents. She has her father's height and her mother's temperament, which is quite serene. Because she is doted on by her father, even at a young age, she already possesses a calmness and composure that is not hurried or agitated.
Another one, who looks like Yao Yao, chubby and plump with glistening skin, is someone Gu Ruandong thinks about, making his heart soften.
Song Jingye had no experience as a father, yet he was wrongly accused and didn't know how he offended the other three men. Gu Ruandong and Zhuo Y uan, who originally hadn't planned on drinking, also started pouring him drinks.
As a soldier, he was certainly no match for the three cunning merchants in front of him, especially when facing them alone.
When the dinner party ended, I had surprisingly gotten a bit drunk.
As he came out of the restaurant, he saw several girls standing by his car from afar, but he only recognized Chen Ling. He waved and shouted, "Lingling, come here."
He seemed intoxicated, not quite drunk. He felt like he could walk, but his feet were light and unsteady, so he beckoned her over.off all these people's escape routes."She knew Gu Ruandong wasn't just a threat. If the other party didn't cooperate, he would need to spend more compensation or energy dealing with it. He was truly c...
