Chapter 363 The drug took effect
Grandpa Jiang sighed inwardly and shook his head, "No objection."
He dared not have any objections.
If it weren't for his granddaughter Jiang Youli, the Jiang family wouldn't have been able to sit at the same table as the Qi family.
Jiang Xing and Jiang Zhao also noticed the commotion on their father Jiang Yangxu's side, but in order not to spoil their sister Jiang Youli's mood, they ultimately chose to keep quiet and did not step forward to help their father out of the predicament.
Jiang Yangxu could only swallow his pride and get up from the ground. He reluctantly picked up the chair and sat back down. Before sitting down, he secretly glanced at Qi Huan to make sure that Qi Huan would not make any further moves before he felt at ease.
At the end of the gift-giving ceremony, only the Jiang brothers, Jiang Xing and Jiang Zhao, remained.
Jiang Xingxian handed over the gift, "Xiao Li, happy birthday. This is a gift I carefully selected for you. I'm really happy that you invited me to your birthday party."
Jiang Youli smiled and teased, "Is this gift more valuable than the one I gave to Jiang Yonghe back then?"
Jiang Xing's face turned pale, unsure how to respond.
After a while, he said with some difficulty, "Xiao Li, my financial situation isn't that good right now, but I will compensate you double every year from now on."
Jiang Youli accepted the gift from the other party expressionlessly, a disdainful sneer appearing on her lips. She then casually tossed it aside, as if it were just an insignificant item.
Her gaze then shifted to Jiang Zhao, her eyes cold and sharp as she stared directly at him. "And Jiang Zhao, what gift are you going to give me?"
Jiang Zhao was completely unprepared for Jiang Youli to suddenly ask about his gift. He fumbled in his pocket for a while before finally pulling out the carefully prepared gift. He nervously handed the bracelet to Jiang Youli and explained, "This...this is a gift for you, a blessed Buddhist prayer bead bracelet. I hope it will protect you throughout your life."
Jiang Youli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. She interrupted Jiang Zhao without any politeness: "Oh? Bless me with a peaceful life? Actually, if it weren't for your family, I wouldn't be in any danger at all."
Jiang Zhao's face turned deathly pale instantly. His lips trembled slightly as he tried to say something in rebuttal, but he found himself unable to find the right words.
After a long silence, Jiang Zhao finally spoke with difficulty, his voice filled with deep bitterness: "I...I'm sorry, Xiao Li."
However, Jiang Youli clearly did not accept his apology. She waved her hand coldly, signaling Jiang Zhao not to continue.
Seeing Jiang Youli's resolute attitude, Jiang Zhao and Jiang Xing both returned to their seats dejectedly, as if their souls had been ripped out.
Jiang Yangxu looked at his two good-for-nothing sons and felt extremely disappointed.
Even at this point, his two sons are still thinking about begging for forgiveness!
idiot!
After Qi Huan and the others returned to the dining table, Jiang Youli handed the gift to her beautiful mother again, then glanced at the familiar faces on the paper in front of her and said, "Thank you all for coming to my 22nd birthday party today."
"This is my first birthday since returning to the Jiang family, so my parents took this birthday banquet very seriously and started preparing it a month in advance. As you can see, apart from this villa, the entire Jiang family home, including the exterior walls, has been carefully decorated."
“Even this evening gown I’m wearing was designed by my mother herself; it’s one of a kind in the whole world.”
"And my mom has decided to pick up her hobby of fashion design again and open her own fashion design studio. If you need anything in the future, you can ask my mom to design for you!"
Qi An'an couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, really! It was designed by Auntie! It's so beautiful! I must have Auntie design my evening gowns from now on, and I'll also promote her so that all my girlfriends can come and support her!"
Hearing her daughter praise her at her birthday party, and immediately receiving a response and support from the guests, Zhang Susu's eyes welled up with tears.
Jiang Youli continued, "Those who are here are all very important to me and people I cherish, so tonight everyone can speak freely, eat and drink well, and not hold back."
"Don't worry, Li girl, how could we be polite with you! We must finish every last bite of food on the table tonight, not a single dish will be wasted!" the three tables of people from the village shouted.
Then, the people in the Jiang family's kitchen and the servants began to bring out the dishes, and everyone started to eat.
……
Eat it!
Then I'll make you all look like fools!
In the private room of Longyuan in the Never-Sleeping City, Jiang Yonghe looked at the projected screen, her eyes filled with resentment.
Long Yuan held a glass of red wine, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his usually cold face. A barely perceptible smile curved his lips.
He hasn't actually conducted large-scale experiments on these aphrodisiacs yet.
This time, let's use the fifty people present as the subjects for the experiment.
Let's see how potent this new batch of aphrodisiacs is. Will it be so potent that these people will engage in group sex on the spot?
With that thought in mind, he downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.
……
Half an hour later, almost everyone at the birthday party had finished eating and drinking.
Jiang Yonghe was getting anxious and exhausted. How come after so long, none of these people had shown any signs of discomfort?
Was the medicine Longyuan gave ineffective?
Or did the kitchen manager fail to administer the drug?
If it doesn't work, she'll make sure Long Yuan kills the other party, since she's already paid a deposit!
Long Yuan's eyes also began to show doubt; why hadn't the medicine taken effect yet?
Li Zixuan broke the silence first, "Young Master Long, hasn't the big show you were talking about started yet? I see they've all eaten and drunk their fill and are preparing for the after-party."
After he finished speaking, he licked his lips and then tugged at his collar, asking in confusion, "Is the air conditioning in the private room turned up too high? It feels a bit hot."
After Li Zixuan said that, the other lackeys also agreed, "Yeah, I'm a little hot too. I thought it was just my imagination."
"No one has touched the air conditioner, and the temperature is normal now."
"Oh no, it's getting hotter and hotter."
"Li Ge, why does your face look so red?" Jiang Yonghe asked, tilting her head back, her hair still wet.
"Really?" Li Zixuan touched his face, which was burning hot. He looked at Long Yuan and said, "Young Master Long, your face is also very red."
Jiang Yonghe couldn't help but squirm. "What's the reason? Is the wine tonight too potent?"
Longyuan sensed it.
Seeing Jiang Yonghe's reaction, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
He seemed to have seen this feeling in those women before.
The door to the private room was suddenly opened, and the manager of the Never-Sleeping City rushed in:
"Young Master Long, something terrible has happened! Many customers have suddenly started behaving strangely, and the situation is chaotic. They need an explanation!"
Long Yuan's breathing became increasingly rapid, and he was starting to feel dizzy.
He stood up, holding onto the sofa armrest, and looked around.
Where is Yu Linglong?
