Chapter 76: Consider This Compensation for Missing My Wedding

Gu Nianshen sat down on the couch and began drinking from his glass. Meanwhile, Song Changlin was playing a mobile game on his phone as Qi Wuyue poured himself a drink.

There was an awkwardness in the room.

“This one looks good. Gu Nianshen, this is your type. Song Changlin, you might want to go with this one instead,” Li Nanmu said as he began assigning ladies to the men. “You must treat these two gentlemen well.”

One of the two chosen ladies gasped under her breath when she saw Gu Nianshen and Song Changlin. “These two gentlemen look exactly alike.”

Indeed, Gu Nianshen resembled his uncle. Although Song Changlin was two years older than him, he was a bit of a late-bloomer. When they were both kids, Song Changlin was close to Gu Nianshen in height. Oftentimes, they would be mistaken as twins.

This was not the first time someone told them they looked alike. However, each time Gu Nianshen heard the comment, he would turn away with a look of distaste.

This time, Gu Nianshen’s facial expression turned gloomy. His cold stare instantly caused the lady who had spoken to back away in fear.

“I’ve just asked you to treat them nicely. I didn’t ask you to ramble,” Li Nanmu reprimanded.

The lady seemed very apologetic as she approached Song Changlin and was about to sit next to him. “No, thank you.” Song Changlin declined in a respectful manner.

Song Changlin was smiling as he spoke with a calm tone.

He was so calm that it felt almost forbidden to approach him.

The lady froze for a moment before awkwardly walking away.

On the other hand, another lady who had been asked to sit next to Gu Nianshen was instantly scared off when Gu Nianshen said ‘get lost’.

“What are you two doing?” Li Nanmu frowned at Gu Nianshen and Song Changlin.

He was ignored by both of them.

Gu Nianshen emptied his glass and placed it on the table as he stood up. “I’m married now. I don’t have time for this.”

A smile appeared on Gu Nianshen’s face.

“Nianshen…”

Li Nanmu caught up with Gu Nianshen and tugged at his arm. As he did so, he turned to face the club manager. “Mr. Sun, you may leave us. We don’t need your service at the moment.”

“Alright.”

As a manager, Mr. Sun could tell that something was amiss. If he did not leave now, he might get into trouble.

After Mr. Sun had left with the ladies, Song Changlin finally shifted his gaze away from his phone. “Nianshen, since you are here, let’s have a couple of drinks,” he said as he looked at Gu Nianshen.

This sounded like a challenge to Gu Nianshen.

“Sure.” He turned around and faced Song Changlin with a smile.

The smile sent chills down Li Nanmu and Qi Wuyue’s spines.

Gu Nianshen and Song Changlin were up to no good.

Gu Nianshen walked toward Song Changlin as he pushed Li Nanmu’s hand away. He raised a glass to Song Changlin. “Consider this compensation for missing my wedding.”

“Sure!” Song Changlin nodded.

Li Nanmu and Qi Wuyue watched on as Gu Nianshen and Song Changlin finished another bottle of alcohol.

If no one stopped them, they might kill themselves from drinking too much.

Li Nanmu and Qi Wuyue looked at each other as they nodded simultaneously. One of them took the glass away from Gu Nianshen’s hand while the other did the same to Song Changlin.

“Both of you, stop drinking.”

After taking the glass away from Gu Nianshen, Qi Wuyue immediately called out to Li Nanmu. “Call Housekeeper Wu to pick Gu Nianshen up.”

Lin Yiqian had returned to the country not too long ago. Therefore, she still needed time to get used to the weather. Not long after she had fallen asleep, she was awakened by thirst. However, she could not find any water in the fridge in her room.
