Gu Junling asked to meet them at Ninth-Heaven for a small gathering at night, partly because of Xu Zhenyu’s long-awaited return and partly also to talk about what happened in the Wen Family the night before.
Wen Xinya headed to Ninth-Heaven together with Xu Zhenyu.
When they arrived, Gu Junling and the rest began whistling and teasing them.
Gu Junling picked up the pillow from behind the couch and flung it at Xu Zhenyu.
Xu Zhenyu, I was just planning to invite you to have some fun at Jiayuan Club, but you told me that you were busy with military matters. What the heck! Is this what you mean by military matters? That’s not how you should value lust over friends.

Xu Zhenyu grasped the pillow and rolled his peach-blossom-shaped eyes charmingly.
Gu Junling, getting jealous and throwing pillows are things that a woman would do. You’re a man, you shouldn’t be doing this. Do you feel ashamed at all?



Gu Junling was pale and exasperated.
Zhou Tianyu burst into laughter and threw her head back.
Gu Junling followed suit and said to Gu Junling,
Look how angry you are. Why bother getting angry with him? Just go one on one with him!

Gu Junling turned red and exclaimed,
Sure, I’m all up for it!

Zhou Tianyu covered her eyes and said,
Gu Junling, are you out of your mind!?! Xu-er is a tough soldier who trained at Northwest Main Military Camp. You’re not going to be a match for him, especially since you’re so small in size.

Ling Qingxuan goaded.
Gu Junling, go on and teach Xu-er a lesson. Don’t give him the chance to bully us just because he’s been in the military for two years.

Wen Xinya was incredibly amused. She gritted her teeth while laughing and said,
Xu-er, remember to spare him some mercy!

She emphasized the words
spare him some mercy
, causing Gu Junling to get the chills.
Xu Zhenyu folded his sleeves to expose his toned and defined muscles.
I promise I’ll accomplish the mission.

Gu Junling grabbed the bottle of white wine leisurely and filled two glasses with wine.
We’re both educated and refined people. Let’s not get physical. Shall we have a drinking competition?



Zhou Tianyu snorted with laughter and said,
Gu Junling, people always say that merchants are the most sly. You’ve really lived up to that expectation. Everyone knows that Xu-er has a poor liquor level and you’re clearly trying to take advantage of him.

Wen Xinya chimed in.
Exactly. Gu Junling, you’re so cunning.

Ling Qingxuan was amused beyond words.
Xu Zhenyu rubbed his sleeve and said confidently,
Sure, a drinking competition it shall be! I’ll be able to defeat you too.

It was common for soldiers to drink and Xu Zhenyu had developed a high liquor tolerance after being in the military for two years. Gu Junling was no match for him at all.
Wen Xinya hurriedly grabbed his arm and asked,
Xu-er, are you going to be able to take it or not? Don’t put on a strong front if you can’t hold your liquor well. I’m just afraid that you’d embarrass yourself after getting drunk and ruin your image as a soldier. Mind you, you’re dressed in military uniform.

Xu Zhenyu smiled and said,
Wen Xinya, men have to let their actions prove their words. I didn’t boast.

Zhou Tianyu burst into laughter and buried her face in Wen Xinya’s shoulder.
Gu Junling and Ling Qingxuan continued to whistle.
Wen Xinya kicked Xu Zhenyu’s leg and said,
Xu Zhenyu, are you asking for death?



They continued to guffaw loudly.
Xu Zhenyu and Gu Junling then exchanged toasts and began drinking.
Wen Xinya and Zhou Tianyu cheered them on.
Ling Qingxuan watched and goaded them.
The atmosphere was lively and they were all extremely enthusiastic.
In the end, Gu Junling finally admitted defeat.
Xu-er, you’ve been to the military camp for two years and your liquor level has improved so drastically!

Xu Zhenyu laughed out loud and said,
That’s because I’m a real man.

Ling Qingxuan kicked him and said,
You mean, we’re all not real men? Do you dare to go toe to toe against me!?!

He then poured two glasses of white wine.
Wen Xinya looked at Ling Qingxuan and said,
Ling Qingxuan, have you got any shame at all? You ought to let them have a break!



Zhou Tianyu laughed hysterically and said,
Aren’t you two embarrassed of yourselves? Don’t tell others that you know me. I don’t want to lose any face.

They finally settled down.
Zhou Tianyu looked at Wen Xinya and said,
Wen Xinya, you probably didn’t expect that you’d be able to ruin Ning Shuqian with just one move during your coming-of-age ceremony, did you? The Wen Family will definitely chase her out. What a brilliant move.

Zhou Tianyu had gotten a great shock when she heard that Ning Shuqian had fallen down yesterday. She thought that Ning Shuqian had tried to use her pregnancy to get up to some tricks. However, after it was revealed that she was merely faking it, Zhou Tianyu realized that it was just part of Wen Xinya’s plan to pay them back in their own coin.
Wen Xinya said calmly,
My father is going to divorce Ning Shuqian and I heard that he has already requested the lawyer to draft the divorce papers today.

Although Ning Shuqian was not completely deranged yet, Wen Haowen still did not wish to be with her, especially since he had always cared about his pride.
Gu Junling smiled and said,
Even Qingxuan did not manage to find anything previously. I initially thought that Ning Shuqian was really pregnant. Yet, it turned out to be a sham. Xinya, you really have such high tolerance. You actually allowed Ning Shuqian to continue wreaking havoc for such a long time before attacking her on your coming-of-age ceremony.

Wen Xinya laughed and said,
I haven’t been able to find any evidence. If I were to just expose Ning Shuqian, she’d definitely find a way to shirk the responsibility. I can only render her helpless during my coming-of-age ceremony.

Ling Qingxuan applauded and remarked in awe,
I heard that Xia Ruya has already moved out of the Wen Family home to an unknown place. I bet she was implicated by Ning Shuqian!


Yes, she’s already fallen out of favor and is now only the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family in name,
said Wen Xinya, who was well aware that Old Mr. Wen had arranged to meet Lawyer Luo to transfer the shares to her name, as well as to change some terms to Xia Ruya’s inheritance.


Xu Zhenyu teased.
Tsk, tsk, it’s only been three short years and yet, you’ve already created such a major change in the Wen Family. You’ve transformed from a gangster to the richest and most elite heiress in the city. Everyone was shocked out of their senses. Not only did you turn from a caterpillar to a butterfly, but you’ve also practically become a beautiful and resplendent phoenix.

Despite having worked extremely hard to improve himself, he was still worlds apart from her.
Zhou Tianyu claimed.
Look at our Xinya. She now owns an exorbitant set of dowry and ten percent of the Wen Corporation’s shares. If nothing goes wrong, she’ll be succeeding the Wen Corporation in the future. She even has a prestigious and esteemed maternal grandfather. She has also opened an investment company and a successful store like Lanxin Cosmetics. No one is worthy of her at all. She has beauty, brawn, and brains.

Xu Zhenyu’s hand quivered and he downed his glass of wine in one go.
