Thanks to Lu Jingyuan's aggressive drinking, it wasn't long before she got really drunk.
Ning Ran was a little buzzed, but she still remained conscious.
The two drunk and beautiful women sat down in the yard and chatted away.
Alcohol is fair to everyone regardless of their status and appearance. It will get anyone drunk as long as they
consume it.
The only difference is in the amount it will take for each individual to get drunk.
Due to the ability of alcohol to reduce the functions of the behavioral inhibitory centers in the brain, those who get
drunk will often do what they usually won't. For example, a person who is usually too shy to speak will become a
chatterbox.
Not wanting the kids to witness them in their drunken stupor, Nan Chen had the kids play in the study room instead.
Lu Jingyuan looked incredibly hot with a slight blush on her cheeks and a dazed look in her eyes.
“You're such a beauty, Jingyuan! You're the most beautiful woman in the world!” Ning Ran exclaimed.
“You're beautiful too! You're the most beautiful woman in the universe!” Lu Jingyuan replied with a chuckle.
“Why are we complimenting each other? People are going to laugh at us if they hear what we're saying! Let's talk
about something else.”
Lu Jingyuan burst out laughing. “Hahaha! It's true, though! You really are a beauty!”
Given how infectious her laughter was, Ning Ran found herself laughing along with her.
The bodyguards exchanged awkward glances when they heard the two women laughing their hearts out.
None of them dared say a word about it.
“By the way, you haven't told me how you got pregnant with Mr. Nan's kids. I remember you saying something
about it being unintentional. How did it happen?” Lu Jingyuan asked.
Ning Ran waved at her. “Let's not talk about that. It's not exactly something fun, and I'll end up crying if I bring it
up.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLu Jingyuan grabbed her hand and said, “Oh, come on! We're best friends, aren't we? You can tell me about it!”
The bodyguards who were stationed nearby pricked their ears when they heard that. How Madam got pregnant
with Mr. Nan's kids? This is some top-tier gossip material right here!
As Ning Ran was still alert, she noticed the bodyguards listening in and glared at them. “Hey! Are you guys
eavesdropping?”
Despite being extremely curious, the bodyguards had no choice but to distance themselves from her to give her
some privacy.
“It really was unintentional. No, I think I have told you about this,” Ning Ran said.
Lu Jingyuan was so drunk that she could barely think straight at that point. “Did you? I don't remember, though.”
Ning Ran wasn't entirely sure if she had told Lu Jingyuan about it either. Given how close the two of them were, Ning
Ran figured she must have told her at some point.
“Yes, I did. I have a sister from another mother. Wait, no, I found out later on that we don't even share the same
father!”
“You mean like a blood sister?” Lu Jingyuan got even more confused.
As it would be too much of a hassle to explain, Ning Ran said, “I thought we were related by blood, but I found out
later on that we weren't. That's all I'm trying to say.”
“Ah, I see... Like the two of us, then?”
“No, we're different. There is only hatred between me and her. You couldn't even call us friends!”
“Why would you say that? What happened between you two?” Lu Jingyuan asked in confusion.
“She wanted to star in a film, so she bribed the director by sleeping with him. However, she forced me to do so in
her stead. My mom desperately needed money for her treatment at the time, so I agreed to the arrangement in
order to afford my mom's treat—”
Ning Ran was halfway through her explanation when Lu Jingyuan angrily threw her glass on the floor.
That sudden outburst shocked Ning Ran so much that she didn't know how to respond.
“That's horrible! Where is she? I want to go see her right now!” Lu Jingyuan shouted.
“Why would you want to go see her?”
“I want to beat her up!”
That was when Ning Ran recalled something. “Oh, that's right. I remember you can fight. But why were you so
easily subdued by the kidnappers?”
“The kids were right next to me. I was afraid that the kidnappers would hurt them, so I didn't dare fight back.
Otherwise, I would've wiped the floor with them!”
Being intoxicated gave Lu Jingyuan quite a huge boost in confidence.
“Oh... Well, you don't need to go look for her anymore. I doubt she's even alive.”
“What? What happened? Were you the one who took her life?”
“Hey! You'd better watch what you're saying before you get me in trouble! I would never do something like that! In
fact, I don't even know what happened to her!”
Lu Jingyuan frowned in confusion. “How do you know she's not alive, then?”
“You're right. It's possible that she's still alive. Look, all I know is that she disappeared into a dense jungle. I don't
know for sure if she's still alive today. That place is an uninhabited area, so her chances of survival are incredibly
slim.”
“An uninhabited area? You guys went to an uninhabited area too? So have I! The one I went to was located in a
desert!”
Lu Jingyuan is an adventurous traveler. The uninhabited area she explored is nothing like the one I've been to.
“All I know is that she went missing in an uninhabited area. I don't know if she's still alive today, but that's all in the
past now.”
“Wait a minute, weren't we talking about your kids? How did we end up discussing your sister? No, she's not even
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour sister! She's a bad person!”
“Yeah! She's a bad person! Basically, she had me go sleep with that director in her stead. However, the person in
the room turned out to be Nan Chen. I realized I was pregnant afterward. My dad wanted me to get rid of the
babies, but I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I gave birth to them. Eventually, we somehow found out about each
other and got together. This part is really complicated. I'll tell you about it some other time,” Ning Ran said casually.
“My goodness! I didn't know Mr. Nan used to be such a sleazy director! I'll go teach him a lesson!” Lu Jingyuan
leaped to her feet and started yelling at the top of her voice, “Hey, Mr. Nan! Get over here!”
Ning Ran wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
“You really are drunk! It had nothing to do with Nan Chen. Don't go confronting him.”
“I'm trying to avenge you here! I can't believe he's the kind of guy who would ask others for sexual favors! He
needs to be taught a lesson! Hey, Mr. Nan! Come—”
“What is it this time?” Nan Chen came running out of the study room when he heard the shouting.
“How dare you take advantage of my friend?” Lu Jingyuan fumed.
Nan Chen stared blankly at her in confusion.
What is she going on about? Honestly, women sure are scary when they're drunk!
“It's nothing! She just had a little too much to drink. I'll take care of this. You can get back to whatever you were
doing,” Ning Ran said in an attempt to defuse the situation.
“You're not going anywhere until I'm done with you! How could you take advantage of Ning Ran like that? I can't
believe you'd demand sexual favors, you shameless pervert!” Lu Jingyuan yelled.
Nan Chen shot Ning Ran a vicious glare and asked, “What exactly did you tell her? Why is she yelling at me like
this?”
“This is all just a misunderstanding! Don't take it seriously! I'll explain everything to her later. You can just head on
inside!” Ning Ran said while pushing Nan Chen back into the house.
“Hey! You're not going anywhere!” Lu Jingyuan ran after them.
