Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

Chapter 91 Stardust Drunk

Ye Xingchen raised the corners of his lips slightly and said coldly, "Okay."

Xing Fei glared at him resentfully before getting up and leaving the table.

Seeing this, Chen Shihui greeted Mu Jinyue and her husband and quickly followed.

Now only the Ye family of five remains at the dining table.

Mu Jinyue gently scolded, "Xingchen, what you said just now was too harsh. Even if you didn't want to, you could have refused more tactfully."

Ye Xingchen didn't take it to heart. "No means no. Even if I say it tactfully, it's still no. The result is the same. If she understood what I meant, she wouldn't have let her mother bring this up in this kind of setting. Isn't this just blatantly trying to use the large number of people here to blackmail me?"

Hearing this, Ye's parents didn't say anything more. Ye Xingchen had always been a very opinionated person. Even in kindergarten, he insisted on deciding what to wear every day. Later, when he was older and in high school, his father suggested that he apply for business administration in college, but he missed a week of school. Fortunately, he had excellent grades and didn't cause trouble, so his parents stopped interfering.

In the bathroom on the first floor, Xing Fei was sitting on the toilet, sobbing softly.

After Chen Shihui went inside and closed the door, she reached out and poked her head hard, saying in a low voice, "Cry! Cry! All you do is cry! Can't you use your brain before you speak! Why did you say you didn't like Ye Xingchen! What are we going to do now! How are we going to cover this up!"

Hearing her mother's words, Xing Fei cried even harder. Ye Xingchen had rejected her in front of so many people, showing her no respect whatsoever. She had just lost face and impulsively said those harsh words.

"Alright, what's the use of crying! Now you know you regret it!" Chen Shihui said sternly, "From now on, listen to my arrangements and don't make any more mistakes! Otherwise, your life's most important matter will be out of your control. Don't blame your mother then."

Xing Fei looked up at Chen Shihui, her face streaked with tears, and nodded hesitantly.

"Wash your face and touch up your makeup later. Calm yourself down before you go out."

Chen Shihui explained her plan again before coming out of the bathroom.

When she returned to the restaurant, she saw that the Ye family members had not touched their chopsticks and were sitting quietly at the table, except for Ye Xinghe, who was eating with great relish.

Chen Shihui sat back down in her chair, her face beaming. "Young lady, you're so shy. I'll let her calm down by herself. Once she comes out, we can all pretend nothing happened. Let's eat our food, no need to wait for her."

Mu Jinyue quickly explained for her son, "It's all Xingchen's fault, he said too harshly. I just scolded him."

“Jin Yue, that’s where you went wrong. Xing Chen was right to refuse directly and put an end to her hopes.” Chen Shi Hui then turned to look at Ye Xing Chen. “Auntie was right about you. It’s just a pity. You can’t force feelings. You two aren’t meant to be.”

Ye Xingchen smiled politely, "I'm glad Aunt Chen understands what I mean."

As they were talking, Xing Fei came out of the bathroom. Her eyes were slightly red, clearly from crying.

No one mentioned what had just happened again, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was noticeably awkward.

Chen Shihui started the conversation, smiling brightly at everyone, "It's been a long time since our two families have gotten together, so we need to liven things up. Old Ye, bring out your treasured wine for us to try."

Ye Minghan was feeling a little awkward when he heard Chen Shihui's suggestion. He readily agreed and instructed Uncle Fu to fetch a bottle of his treasured red wine to let it breathe.

Chen Shihui picked up the decanter and said with great interest, "Today, everyone has to listen to me, the guest. No one is allowed to skip drinking. We must drink to our hearts' content, and we won't leave until we're drunk!"

After saying that, he started pouring drinks for everyone.

"Come, let's raise our glasses together for the first drink. Thank you for your hospitality today, and I hope our two families will continue to grow closer." Chen Shihui finished her drink in one gulp, smiling as she watched everyone else finish their drinks before finally sitting down.

After taking only a couple of bites of food, Chen Shihui poured everyone more wine, saying, "This second glass is for you kids. You've all grown up and have your own careers now. I wish you all a bright future."

Chen Shihui downed her drink in one gulp, and the younger generation could only follow suit.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen's face had begun to flush slightly. Although he only poured 1/3 of a glass of red wine each time, he drank it too quickly, and he himself had a very low alcohol tolerance, basically getting drunk after just one glass of beer.

Ye Xinghe excused herself to pour Ye Xingchen a glass of water and instructed Aunt Mei to prepare some hangover soup. When she returned, she saw Chen Shihui toasting Ye Xingchen alone.

"Stardust, I was being abrupt just now. I hope you don't mind. You and Feifei can still be good friends. Please drink this glass of wine as a way of forgiving me."

Seeing Ye Xingchen's face growing increasingly red, Mu Jinyue reminded him, "Shihui, drink slowly. Drinking red wine too quickly will make you drunk."

Chen Shihui joked, "Are you worried about your wine? I'm drinking with Xingchen, so don't interrupt."

Ye Xingchen felt he was about to get drunk and didn't want to drink anymore, but after hearing what Chen Shihui said, he had no choice but to drink. "Aunt Chen, you didn't do anything wrong, you don't need my forgiveness."

"This is my last drink. I'm going upstairs to rest for a bit. Please enjoy your drink." After finishing his drink, Ye Xingchen got up and staggered upstairs.

After Ye Xingchen went upstairs, Chen Shihui stopped mentioning alcohol and started chatting with Ye's parents.

Did Chen Shihui deliberately get my second brother drunk?

As Ye Xinghe was thinking, she suddenly noticed Xing Fei drinking alone beside her. She took the glass from her and said, "Sister Xing Fei, stop drinking. Your injury hasn't healed yet."

"Xinghe, you don't need to worry about her," Chen Shihui said, her face full of concern. "Your sister Xingfei is upset, so let her drink today."

Ye Xinghe couldn't understand what Chen Shihui was up to. She didn't care that her daughter was so drunk, and why she deliberately got Ye Xingchen drunk.

Suddenly, Xing Fei collapsed onto the table. Ye Xinghe called out to her a few times, but she only responded vaguely.

Mu Jinyue glanced at Ye Xinghe and said, "Why don't you help her upstairs to rest?"

"No need, Aunt Mu, I'm not drunk." Xing Fei stood up unsteadily with her eyes half open. "I can walk by myself. I'm going to sleep for a while, and I'll be down in a bit."

Ye Xinghe was about to get up and go to help her when Chen Shihui stopped her, saying, "Let her go by herself. Anyone who gets close to her at this time could easily get hurt. She's like this when she's drunk at home too."

Ye Xinghe became suspicious. She took out her phone and secretly turned on the security camera under the table. She saw Xing Fei leaning against the wall, swaying as she walked towards her room.
