Ling Feng lifted his glass and downed it in one go, but after that cup of alcohol, the anger in his heart only blazed fiercer!

"Ling Feng, do you know what I regret the most right now?" Ye Chen lifted his head, his voice choked with emotion, "What I regret the most is that I had too many concerns, and even when I left, I never told Jasmine that I loved her! I hate myself, I regret it so much!"

Ling Feng fell silent. Right now, Ye Chen needed to vent, not superficial consolation! Because at this moment, any words of comfort would seem pale and powerless!

Without those experiences of sharing life and death, one could never understand the bond of brotherhood or the concept of depending on each other through life and death!

Two grown men sat silently in the bar, one cup after another, until finally Ye Chen threw up twice and completely lost consciousness!

With Ye Chen's capabilities, let alone this amount of alcohol, even double wouldn't get him drunk! But he didn't use his Inner Strength to resist, and moreover, he didn't want to recall that heartbreaking event, so he got drunk, utterly plastered!

Ling Feng carried Ye Chen on his back, heading towards his own home, hoping that this bout of heavy drinking could help Ye Chen relax a little!

By the time he got Ye Chen home, it was nearly seven o'clock!

"Damn it, I'm late!" Ling Feng hurriedly rushed towards Chaoyang Group!

When Ling Feng arrived at Chaoyang Group, he found Liu Tingyu quietly waiting in the coffee shop on the ground floor.

Through the window, as he watched Liu Tingyu quietly drinking coffee, Ling Feng noticed that there was no sign of impatience or anger on her face.

He sighed with relief as he pushed the door open, "Ting Yu, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

As soon as Ling Feng approached, Liu Tingyu smelled the strong scent of alcohol and couldn't help but frown, "What happened? Did something happen?"

Knowing Ling Feng as she did, Liu Tingyu was aware that he wouldn't drink so much without good reason! Nor would he delay an entire hour without cause!

So Liu Tingyu was certain something must have happened to Ling Feng!

Ling Feng gave a bitter smile, "I was drinking with a friend. He was feeling rather down."

"Friend? Must be a very important friend, then!"

"Yeah, we're the kind of friends who can entrust our backs to each other without worry," Ling Feng said earnestly.

Liu Tingyu's expression became solemn; she too understood that this kind of relationship where one could entrust their life to another was no ordinary friendship.

"If that's the case, you should stay with him," Liu Tingyu said, "We have plenty of time. I think what one needs the most when they're sad is the company of a good friend, isn't it?"

Ling Feng looked at Liu Tingyu in surprise. He had been prepared to be scolded, but he hadn't expected Liu Tingyu to not only refrain from blaming him but to consider his situation and even suggest he stay with Ye Chen!

Such a wife is beyond all wealth! Ling Feng stepped forward and hugged Liu Tingyu, whispering in her ear, "Can you please not be so good to me? Don't you know you're going to spoil me?"

Liu Tingyu patted Ling Feng's back, "I'm your girlfriend, of course, I have to think about you!"

"It's okay now!" Ling Feng said softly, "He got drunk, and I've arranged for him to be at our place. You don't mind, do you?"

At the words "our home," a hint of blissful smile surfaced on Liu Tingyu's face, "What do you take me for, a petty girl? Of course, I won't mind!"

"Well then, let's go now!" Ling Feng checked the time, "We're already late, I just hope Yuwei won't blame me!"

"Aren't you going to change your clothes?" Liu Tingyu asked, "You reek of alcohol!"

Ling Feng smiled slightly, took a deep breath, and a whirlwind swirled around him, quickly dissipating the smell of alcohol from his body!

"Now we can go. Let's go!"

...

The daughter of Liu Tianyun was going to hold a birthday party, and this news had already spread among the upper echelons!

Actually, ever since her coming-of-age ceremony at eighteen, Liu Yuwei had always been against such birthday parties! Unlike those second-generation girls who loved buying branded bags and attending high-end parties, she never felt entitled to enjoy herself just because she was the daughter of Liu Yuntian.

And Liu Yuntian was very understanding; since his daughter didn't like to have birthday parties, he never forced her. With Liu Yuntian's current status, there was really no need to hold any parties to curry favor or ingratiate himself with anyone!

But to his surprise, half a month ago his daughter actually took the initiative to say she wanted to throw a birthday party to entertain her friends!

This move by his daughter made Liu Yuntian very happy, as she didn't have many friends, and her main request for a birthday party this time could very well mean she had made a new best friend! Of course, Liu Yuntian also wondered if perhaps his daughter had become lovesick and wanted to introduce a handsome young man to him during this opportunity!

But no matter what, the news of Liu Yuntian's daughter holding a birthday party got out, and many people couldn't help but act upon hearing it!

Financial tycoons, government officials, and representatives of noble families... one after another, they all "acted upon the news"!

This made Liu Yuwei somewhat unhappy; she had originally intended to have a more private gathering, yet so many people she didn't care for showed up.

But Liu Yuntian had no choice either; although these people's influence couldn't compare to his, after all, one doesn't slap a smiling face. If he rejected them forcefully, it would undoubtedly offend a lot of people!

What's more, some of these were from influential families who had come with good intentions, which could easily turn sour if rejected. Even Liu Yuntian couldn't afford the consequences of such a fallout!

"Dear daughter, just make an appearance and then go off to another place to hang out with your friends. Isn't that good enough?" Liu Yuntian spoke softly to his somewhat irritable daughter, trying to persuade her.

Liu Yuwei also understood her father's predicament, and sighed, "Alright, there's nothing else to be done at this point!"

Before seven o'clock, several rows of luxury cars were already lined up at the gate of the Liu Family's large courtyard. The spacious backyard was filled with people standing everywhere, each with a warm smile on their face, endlessly exchanging pleasantries.

The lush green lawn, the methodically arranged long tables, and the tables laden with lavish pastries and fruits, with servants constantly weaving through the crowds to serve drinks to the guests.

"Yuwei, you look absolutely beautiful today!" Lina said admiringly, a hint of infatuation flashing in her eyes.

In Liu Yuwei's room, her invited friends were already there, Lina, Saint Di Anfu, and other well-acquainted girls.

It must be said, Liu Yuwei's attire for the day was stunning! Her flowing gown, soft skin, exquisite updo, she looked just like a fairy stepped right out of a painting.

"I'm sure lots of boys are going to confess to you today!" Saint Di Anfu said with a laugh.

The event had attracted many promising young men, all accompanying their elders, and of course, they had ulterior motives – most people could guess what they were!

"Hmph, my Yuwei would never fall for those smelly men anyway!" Lina frowned and immediately retorted.
