Capítulo 1762: Chapter 1172: Drinking
“Are you driving?”
What’s the best thing to eat in winter?
Of course, it’s hot pot.
If you add so liquor, it would definitely be even better.
That’s exactly what Luo Peng does.
He’s never liked things like Maotai; it’s okay for business events, but when it’s his own choice, Luo Peng has always favored Erguotou.
It’s not because it’s cheap, he just likes the taste of Erguotou.
“I am, what’s up?”
He asked with so confusion, but his action of pouring the drink didn’t stop.
“If you’re driving, don’t drink.”
Learn from past mistakes.
Although he wasn’t punished and got the victim’s forgiveness, Boss Jiang surely learned a lesson.
“I’m telling you, Jiang Chen, I know you’re abiding by public morals, but can’t you just call a designated driver? Why call over if there’s no drinking involved?”
Luo Peng laughed.
When brothers sit together, they must have a couple of drinks; otherwise, it feels like eating beef noodles without beef, a poor feeling.
Luo Peng handed over the plastic cup filled with alcohol, “Don’t spill it.”
Jiang Chen looked at the cup placed in front of him, full to the brim, didn’t speak, picked up the plate and started putting food into the pot, seed to be deep in thought.
Whether Master Luo noticed or not, maybe he saw it but pretended not to.
“Alright, so much greens, there’s no room to cook the at now.”
The broth in the pot boiled, sizzled with oil, making people hungry.
Luo Peng was the first to pick up the chopsticks.
“Ah, refreshing.”
He lifted the plastic cup, “Here’s to one.”
In university, the four brothers often dined together, but after graduation, even in the sa city and company, it’s been a long ti since they had drinks together.
Only the two of them dined together now, seemingly trying to recapture the feeling from their school days, none of them brought their “families”.
Master Luo has never been the type to forget friends for romance. Receiving an invitation call from Jiang Chen, he didn’t hesitate at all. Hearing Li Shuru wouldn’t be there, he didn’t call Xia Wanqing either.
What’s being considerate?
This is it.
“After all the eating, hot pot from the mountain city has the best taste; it’s famous for a reason. If there’s a chance, I’ll take you to try it, my treat.”
“Isn’t this a chain store?”
The place they were at was a hot pot brand from the mountain city.
“Even if it’s a chain store, it doesn’t have the feeling of eating in the mountain city.”
Though saying so, Luo Peng’s pace of picking dishes was not slow at all. In comparison, Boss Jiang didn’t seem very hungry.
“Let ask you sothing.”
“Go ahead.”
Luo Peng spoke casually while eating, showing no surprise.
“Have you ever caused soone to lose their life?”
Jiang Chen’s tone was as calm as possible.
Yet Luo Peng was startled, thinking he misheard, “What?”
“With all the girls you’ve dated, have you ever caused soone to lose their life?” Jiang Chen further clarified.
We’re all adults.
Although only adding half a sentence at the front, the aning beca instantly transparent.
Luo Peng put down his chopsticks, looked at his good buddy through the steaming hotpot, stared blankly for a while, then turned the tables on him, or rather inferred the question back.
“Who have you caused to lose their life?”
“I’m asking you.”
Master Luo’s rich romantic history was never a secret; it’s just that the other three brothers from the dormitory, including Jiang Chen, were not interested in prying into others’ privacy, never brought up such topics. Details of Luo Peng’s relationships were never questioned, though occasionally Luo Peng volunteered so information.
So, Luo Peng’s shock was understandable.
He realized the call from Jiang Chen definitely hinted at sothing, but didn’t expect it to be so explosive!
“What style? Is this notifying that I’m going to be a godfather?!”
This guy completely ignored Jiang Chen’s words.
“What kind of godfather, did I agree to it?”
“Jiang Chen, if you don’t let my godchild recognize , then there’s nothing to say, I’ll definitely cut ties with you, no more brothers.”
“Of course, sa goes for goddaughter.”
Alright.
The more they talked, the less it made sense.
Jiang Chen proactively picked up his glass, “Could I be as quick as you?”
Luo Peng frowned puzzled, seemingly not what he expected.
“What do you an by that?”
“Nothing much.”
Jiang Chen took a sip of Erguotou, “Just casual chat.”
Luo Peng pursed his lips, after a while, sighed and said, “If you really ask whether I’ve caused any lives.”
He paused.
“I have.”
Before Jiang Chen spoke, Luo Peng continued, “I’ve always been careful with safety asures, but accidents happen.”
This was indisputable.
Like obeying traffic rules, yet driving under the influence.
“Did you get rid of it?”
“Otherwise? Raise it? I was only in my second year in college then, never thought of being a father so early, I couldn’t bear the responsibility.”
Luo Peng took a sip of his drink.
Jiang Chen didn’t ask which girl, it’s past, aningless, and disrespectful to the girl.
“Why have I never heard you ntion it?”
“It’s not sothing to be proud of, what’s there to talk about.”
Master Luo, usually carefree in his personal life, suddenly beca quite serious, “So you should take as a warning, it’s not like school days anymore, if it really happens, then raise it. We have the ability to provide any life our child wants.”
Jiang Chen wasn’t easily coaxed into the topic, continued to deny, “Really nothing.”
Not lying.
It is the fact.
“Then why did you suddenly bring it up?”
Chatting is fine.
But why out of the blue, pick such a tricky topic.
Anyone normal would sense sothing amiss, let alone his keen sense.
If it really involved a life—
The primary suspect, surely would be Li Shuru.
But as he and Li Shuru often ran into each other at the office, if there was trouble, it would have surely been detected long ago.
