After Zhang Jinwang and the others were taken away, apart from Xiao Feng, all were members of the Du Family. Everyone couldn't help but speculate about what kind of guest could make the always composed Du Qingyun change his expression.
At that moment, Du Feixiang sat in his seat deep in thought. Among those present, if anyone could understand Old Master Du's mind, it would undoubtedly be his son.
However, even Du Feixiang couldn't quite figure out who the guest Du Qingyun mentioned could be.
After a while, a glimmer of realization appeared in Du Feixiang's eyes, as if he had guessed the identity of the visitor.
Simultaneously, a voice came through: "Where is everyone? I rarely get to come back once a year, and there's not even a single person to greet me."
Du Qingyue's expression changed. She was all too familiar with that voice, and as her emotions were in turmoil, a warm hand firmly grasped her cold hand.
Du Qingyue turned her head and saw Xiao Feng's smiling face. Her heart immediately calmed down, as if no matter how big the storm would be, the man holding her hand could shield her from it!
Everyone looked towards the hall's entrance and saw a scruffy middle-aged man, swaying unsteadily as he walked in, almost tripping over the threshold.
At that moment, everyone recognized the man; it was Du Qingyue's father, Du Zhixiang.
"You still remember you rarely come back once a year?" Du Qingyun snorted coldly, speaking with irritation.
Du Feixiang stood up, trying to smooth things over: "It's good you're back, but why not give us a heads-up?"
Du Zhixiang held onto the door frame, grinning as he slurred, "This is my home. Do I need to announce when I'm coming home? Besides, today's about my daughter, right? As her father, how could I not show up to support her?"
Everyone exchanged glances. In this state, is he here to support, or to sabotage?
"Today, I've got to have a good drink with my son-in-law, but let me just say, this time don't kick me." Du Zhixiang wobbled over, placing a hand on a bottle of wine, squinting as he looked at Xiao Feng: "Because this is my home."
That look made Xiao Feng instantly understand that Du Zhixiang wasn't really drunk, and had appeared now to settle that old score.
Xiao Feng wanted to stand up, but he could clearly feel Du Qingyue's hand suddenly tighten around his, as if reminding him.
Deep down, Du Qingyue was still soft-hearted and didn't want to see Du Zhixiang humiliated in front of everyone.
But given Du Qingyue's personality, even if she thought this way, she'd surely say: I'm doing this for myself, because if he loses face, it won't reflect well on me.
"You've had enough to drink already, let me drink instead." Xiao Feng stood up, saying with a bright smile.
Du Zhixiang frowned: "Look at that, everybody look, what a good son-in-law, he even cares for his father-in-law, but fine, if you're drinking, this whole bottle's yours, not a drop left."
"Du Zhixiang!" Du Qingyun growled deeply, obvious anger in his tone.
But Du Zhixiang just laughed again: "Father, I'm just asking my son-in-law to have a drink, I still have that right, don't I?"
Everyone watched Du Zhixiang, sighing internally. Does he not know his own limits?
Let's be real, even if your son-in-law smashed a bottle over your head, do you think anyone here would speak up for you?
Seeing the situation was getting tense, Du Feixiang looked at Linlang, and the latter shook her head, indicating that she had nothing to do with this and she didn't know Du Zhixiang would come at this time.
"What? Afraid?" Du Zhixiang said flamboyantly, "You were quite bold when kicking me, but now a single bottle of wine has rendered you speechless."
Du Qingyue stood up indignantly, just about to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Feng: "One bottle's not enough, make it a case!"
With that, the room fell into a deathly silence.
A case?
Is he treating himself as the Wine Immortal!
Under the table, Du Qingyue was tugging Xiao Feng's sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive, while Xiao Feng seemed entirely unperturbed, still smiling as he looked at Du Zhixiang.
The butler, who had rushed back, happened to hear this statement and looked towards Du Qingyun for instructions.
After a moment of silence, Du Qingyun nodded. The butler immediately turned and went out, returning shortly with a whole case of liquor, a total of six bottles.
Xiao Feng took a bottle from the case, unsealing it. Du Zhixiang grabbed the bottle: "Hold on, I'll open the wine myself, out of respect for my son-in-law."
While talking, he unscrewed the bottle and took a slight sniff to confirm it was indeed alcohol, then handed it to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng held the bottle containing a half-liter of liquor, glancing around as he revealed an easy smile.
This time, let me show you something amazing!
Watching the liquor in the bottle visibly decrease, the Du Family members were so stunned they couldn't help but stand up. Had Du Zhixiang not checked beforehand, they might even suspect whether it really was alcohol inside.
One bottle down, Xiao Feng's expression barely changed. He smiled and said, "Next!"
Du Zhixiang opened another bottle, checking just like before. Drinking a whole bottle of baijiu in one go isn't common, but it's not unheard of. Even if you're impressive, can you do it again?
The others shared this thought, thinking there's no way Xiao Feng will finish this one without hurling.
Du Qingyue took a napkin to dab at Xiao Feng's lips, whispering, "Stop drinking!"
Xiao Feng turned slightly, smiling gently, "Still a long way to go."
Another bottle down, and Xiao Feng was still unfazed, leaving those at the table dumbfounded. Did they really encounter the Wine Immortal here!
After downing two bottles of baijiu, Xiao Feng not only showed shocking tolerance but also threw the Du Family's final plan into disarray before it could even begin.
Initially, the Du Family planned to take turns getting Xiao Feng drunk to extract some information. But seeing this, even if everyone here drank themselves unconscious, there's no way this Wine Immortal would get drunk!
At this moment, Xiao Feng said again, "Next!"
Du Qingyun stood up and said, "I think it's about time we stop. It's not how much you drink, but enjoying the moment that counts."
"Dad, this is between me and my son-in-law, maybe you should stay out of it." Du Zhixiang sneered at Xiao Feng: "Since my son-in-law wants to drink, I can't very well stop him."
Du Zhixiang was determined. The most he'd seen anyone handle was three bottles; he doubted Xiao Feng could remain unaffected after this one.
By then, with everyone watching, making him look foolish would be easy. Leading him to speak a few careless words would make things much simpler...
Xiao Feng kept drinking as if it were water, reaching the fourth bottle, leaving those present completely dumbfounded. Even if he's the Wine Immortal, one's stomach shouldn't be made of steel.
But this man seemed to have a steel stomach, as nothing seemed to faze him!
"Next!" Xiao Feng still said with a smile.
Du Zhixiang mechanically opened the bottle and didn't even bother checking. He just thought, this plan's failed again.
An ordinary person probably couldn't even drink this much water in one sitting, yet Xiao Feng was drinking liquor and didn't even look fazed, growing more lively with each drink. Such tolerance made everyone despair!
