Chapter 291: Of Course, It’s Interesting

Hearing Xu Shaochen’s words.

Zhang Wei and Mei Liangxin exchanged glances. They looked at the glass of alcohol they had spiked, a playful glint in their eyes.

Mei Liangyu shot Xu Shaochen a cold look. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he stepped forward and downed the glass in one gulp.

Whoosh! His face immediately turned bright red, and his expression became distorted as tears welled up in his eyes.

Ye Pengfei and the others, unaware of the situation, were left puzzled, exchanging confused looks.

Wasn’t it just a drink?

Why does he look so moved, almost to the point of tears?

“You’re playing me!” Mei Liangyu gasped, pointing at Xu Shaochen with clenched teeth, feeling a burning sensation in his throat.

Xu Shaochen smiled indifferently and casually said, “Yes, I am. So what?”

“Is it fun to play such despicable tricks?” Mei Liangyu’s heart boiled with rage as he looked at Xu Shaochen’s calm demeanor but found himself helpless.

At this point, everyone could guess that something had likely been added to that drink.

Zhao Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and glared fiercely at Zhang Wei and Mei Liangxin. No wonder these two had kept urging him to drink.

Thankfully, Mei Liangyu had taken the fall quickly, or he might have been the one in trouble.

Smack!

Xu Shaochen raised his hand and slapped Mei Liangyu across the face. Sneering, he said, “Of course it’s interesting. After all, I love seeing you despise me yet unable to do anything, forced to swallow your pride.”

Everyone’s faces twitched at these words. This was more than just a physical assault; it was an emotional one too.

“Xu, don’t get too arrogant! Hanging around with a loser like Mei Liangxin is your biggest mistake!”

Mei Liangyu’s face was contorted with fury, and he had never felt such a burning desire to kill someone.

What a humiliating insult! A colossal humiliation!

“He called you a loser. After all, he’s your cousin, so I’ll let you deal with him.”

Xu Shaochen chuckled at Mei Liangxin, then started eating, completely ignoring Mei Liangyu.

“Mei Liangxin, you’d better not act recklessly. If anything happens to me, it won’t be as simple as swapping a liver when you return to the Mei Family.”

Mei Liangyu warned Mei Liangxin sternly. The current situation was unfavorable, and he had no choice.

Bang!

Mei Liangxin grabbed a bottle of red wine and smashed it directly over Mei Liangyu’s head.

The bottle shattered. Red wine mixed with blood flowed down.

“Aaaah!”

Mei Liangyu screamed, clutching his head and squatting on the floor. Blood kept seeping through his fingers.

“Damn it, Big Brother. That’s 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a bottle, and brand new. Do you have to waste it like this?”

Xu Shaochen frowned at the shattered bottle on the floor, then turned to Ye Pengfei and said, “Go, bring up a case of beer. Smashing an expensive bottle like this on such trash is an absolute waste.”

Without a word, Ye Pengfei turned and left the room, personally bringing up a case of beer.

“Come on, Mei Liangyu, let’s take it slow. You’ve come a long way, so I’ll make sure to treat you well today. There’s plenty of beer.”

Mei Liangxin took out a beer bottle and tossed it lightly in his hand, flashing a cold smile at the squatting Mei Liangyu.

“Mei Liangxin, you bastard…”

Mei Liangyu glared up angrily. He never expected someone who had once been a cowardly servant in the Mei Family to have grown so bold.

A person who used to be the target of his ridicule now had the audacity to humiliate him like this, making him feel even more humiliated and furious.

Bang!

Before he could finish his sentence, a beer bottle exploded on his head.

Bang!

The second bottle.

Bang!

The third bottle…

With a blank expression, Mei Liangxin continued smashing bottle after bottle over Mei Liangyu’s head. Glass shards scattered everywhere, blood and beer pooling on the floor. Mei Liangyu lay there, like a dead dog, in the bloody mess.

The occasional movement of his fingers and the sound of his breathing were the only signs that he was still alive. His hair was drenched in blood and beer.

Ye Pengfei and the others watched the scene in terror. They wanted to remind Mei Liangxin that continuing would lead to death, but none of them dared to speak.

Bang!

Mei Liangxin smashed the last beer bottle over Mei Liangyu’s head, then wiped his hands and said to Xu Shaochen, “That should be enough.”

“Throw him out and have the waiter come in to clean up.” Xu Shaochen calmly wiped the grease from his lips with a napkin.

Ye Pengfei and the other rich kids had a moment of hesitation but quickly carried Mei Liangyu out.

Soon, a waiter came in with cleaning tools. His hands trembled as he cleaned up, the sight of so much blood too shocking to bear.

“Alright. At least within the next few days, the Mei Family won’t take any action against you.”

Zhang Wei teased Mei Liangxin, knowing that Mei Liangyu would likely spend some time in a Jiangzhou Hospital room.

“I still don’t understand why they sent this useless guy.”

Mei Liangxin casually said, his disdain evident in his tone.

“Come on, let’s have a toast and finish up. It’s getting late.”

“Got it, got it. Chairman Xu must be eager to get home to his beauty.”

The atmosphere in the room was lively. As for Mei Liangyu, someone they now considered insignificant, he had long been forgotten.

…………

Jiangzhou Third Hospital.

At this moment, Mei Liangyu lay on the hospital bed with his head wrapped like a mummy, his hands gripping the bedsheet tightly, fingers almost turning white.

“Third Young Master, tonight was extremely dangerous. If you hadn’t been brought here in time, you might not have made it.”

Liao Jie stood beside the bed, relief visible on his face as he addressed Mei Liangyu.

Fortunately, Mei Liangyu had brought a driver with him tonight, fearing he wouldn’t be able to drive after drinking, and had left him waiting outside the hotel.

When Ye Pengfei and the others dumped Mei Liangyu on the street, the driver saw him and immediately rushed him to the hospital to receive a blood transfusion.

“Kill them… I must kill them… I have to kill them!”

Mei Liangyu’s voice was weak, and his body was frail, but he gritted his teeth so hard they audibly creaked.

“Third Young Master, what exactly happened tonight? Weren’t you having dinner with that group of rich kids from Jiangzhou?”

Liao Jie asked, puzzled. He couldn’t understand what had happened that had caused Mei Liangyu to be beaten so severely.

“It was that bastard Mei Liangxin and that man with the surname Xu. Liao Jie, kill them! Kill them for me!”

Mei Liangyu’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Liao Jie. The stark contrast between his crimson eyes and the white bandages made one’s scalp tingle.
