Chapter 711 - 711: Ultimate Pull!
Cao Zhuzhu stared at the female artiste’s face for a long time. No matter how she looked at it, she felt uncomfortable.
She was a little older than her and was in the same age group as Sonya. Although she was not popular enough to be recognized by Cao Zhuzhu, she should be quite popular, so the other small celebrities were quite wary of her.
The moment she returned, they automatically gave her a seat beside Pei Song.
Later on, the female artiste glanced at Cao Zhuzhu in between her intimate conversations with Pei Song. It was an inexplicably smug and proud look.
Cao Zhuzhu finally remembered who she was.
About four years ago, before Cao Zhuzhu entered the industry, she had seen that look in the paparazzi’s press release from the perspective of netizens.
The female artiste was called Fang Ning, a former member of a girl group.
At that time, the girl group was very popular. Later, they had to disband because Sonya went solo.
Yes, she was once a member of a girl group. At that time, Sonya was the leader and Fang Ning was the dancer.
However, because Sonya was an all-rounded artiste, with such a powerful captain, whether it was dancing or vocal, they were all useless.
Fang Ning was inferior to Sonya in terms of appearance, personality, and business ability. Therefore, it was obvious that the gap between the two’s popularit traffic levels had widened very quickly.
At this moment, looking at how she was holding Pei Song’s arm as she spoke, Cao Zhuzhu could imagine that when Sonya and Pei Song were together, Fang Ning, as a member of Sonya’s team, was obviously taken care of by Pei Song.
Moreover…
She smiled so brightly. It seemed that she was in a good mood after Sonya’s recent incidents.
The happiest moment for a person was not when they advanced, but when the person who had always been above them was pushed down.
These words were worth pondering.
Perhaps Fang Ning’s dream had never been to endure hardships and wait for the day when he could replace Sonya in the entertainment industry.
From then on, her goal had always been…Pei Song…
The rhythmic music of the nightclub, the exaggerated laughter of the people around them, and the sound waves of different frequencies traveled along the ground, along the soles of her feet, and into Cao Zhuzhu’s body, causing her heart to go numb.
She came back to reality and Fang Ning retracted her gaze.
Cao Zhuzhu couldn’t explain what she was feeling at that moment.
Since she believed that separation and marriage were the norm in life, she did not care.
Even though someone had already started to arrange for the second round of the game, Pei Song did not seem to be in the mood and did not want Cao Zhuzhu to get involved in this matter.
“How many against how many? How to play this?”
However, the others around them were having a good time and kept discussing how to play.
A few celebrities automatically joined Fang Ning’s team, and Zhong pulled Cao Zhuzhu into the team.
In this way, both sides would be evenly matched.
“No one said that they wanted to play with you. Take a rest.” Pei Song lit a second cigarette. Smoke rose as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhong.
Zhong was stunned for a moment. He looked at Pei Song and then looked at Cao Zhuzhu. At this moment, he still did not know. “I’ll do it,” Cao Zhuzhu blurted out before she could react.
“Wu–” The crowd started to jeer.
Pei Song glanced at her, the cigarette between his teeth.
Cao Zhuzhu was not afraid of trouble. Realizing that she had already agreed, she brushed her hair, threw the helmet and the bunch of car keys on the coffee table, and sat on the sofa.
She wasn’t used to going out with a backpack, a helmet, a cell phone, and a bunch of car keys. These were basically all she wore when she went out.
Fang Ning suddenly laughed. “How did you get here? Did you come here on a motorcycle?”
This was indeed strange. It was difficult to find a designated driver after drinking.
Everyone looked at the table awkwardly.
Cao Zhuzhu, who was the focus of everyone’s attention, corrected her in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. “It’s not a motorcycle. It’s an electric bike.”
The corners of Pei Song’s lips curled up, but he quickly retracted it.
“Pfft!” The female celebrities couldn’t help but laugh. Zhong helped Cao Zhuzhu out of the predicament by saying that electric cars were low-carbon and environmentally friendly.
Cao Zhuzhu didn’t mind. She never thought that riding an electric bike was shabby.
Fang Ning wanted to say something more, but when her gaze landed on the car keys next to her helmet, she suddenly paused.
The access card of a high-end apartment building was very iconic and could be recognized at a glance.
She was stunned for a few seconds before her gaze once again fell on Cao Zhuzhu, and then returned to Pei Song.
Cao Zhuzhu sat in the center with her hand on her forehead. On her left was Fang Ning and her sisters, and on her right was Zhong and his brothers.
Pei Song stood at the table and mixed the drinks. He made a few apple martinis for the girls, while the boys drank them straight.
Fang Ning said, “we have a lot of people, so don’t make the rules too complicated. Let’s just spin the bottle, and whoever it’s pointed to will drink.”
“Ning, you’re going to hard. You’ll probably collapse in less than an hour if you drink like this.”
Fang Ning smiled at the man who spoke. “We girls aren’t afraid, what are you afraid of?”
That person grinned. “Who said I’m afraid? Since Ms. Fang has spoken, I must let you have your fun!”
“Then let’s get started,” Fang Ning could not wait any longer.
Pei Song’s cigarette was between his fingers. His eyes narrowed slightly in the smoke. He carried an empty bottle and placed it in the middle of the table. The mouth of the bottle was facing Brother Zhong and another boy, and the end of the bottle was facing the DJ area. The moment he started spinning, Cao Zhuzhu said, “wait a minute.”
Pei Song looked up.
Their eyes met in the mist. She propped her chin on her hand. “I know about your tricks. We need to change someone else for this.” Because of her words, everyone looked at each other.
The atmosphere started to change.
Zhong was the most confused.
He finally reacted.
These two people knew each other?
Fang Ning pursed her lips.
The crowd hissed. Pei Song’s hand left the bottle and slowly stood up. The smoke was faintly visible between his fingers. Then, his index finger moved and flicked off a cluster of ashes.
“Then get someone else to do it. I’ll be in charge of the drinks.”
When Fang Ning heard this, she gave a look to the woman beside him. She stood up and went to the table to get a bottle of wine. Pei Song turned around and entered the sofa area. He passed by the onlookers who were watching the show and stopped in front of Cao Zhuzhu.
Cao Zhuzhu was still propping her chin up, while Fang Ning took the initiative to vacate a seat at the side. She sat down, and the sofa bounced slightly as she sat down. Cao Zhuzhu’s long hair fell from her shoulder and touched his shoulder. The earring on Fang Ning’s earlobe shook as well. He snuffed out the second cigarette between the two of them, his elbow resting on his knee.
The girl opposite him started to spin the bottle.
The first round was already karma. Zhong drank.
In order to set an example for everyone, he downed the whole glass.
Then, he spinned the bottle and it pointed to someone else.
The person drank and spinned the bottle which pointed to Cao Zhuzhu.
Cao Zhuzhu didn’t drink the cocktail that Pei Song made. She drank pure vodka. After drinking half a glass, her throat felt like it was burning. Her addiction to smoking also kicked in, but she usually didn’t smoke in front of Pei Song. She pursed her lips and hesitated. The next moment, Pei Song placed his cigarette on the coffee table.
There was even a lighter on it..
