Three young heirs, the one who just shook hands with Shui Miao was Qian Da Shao.
Qian Da Shao’s father, Qian Zhi Qiang, is a real estate tycoon and the wealthiest man in Zhonghai City. His family is incredibly rich. However, Qian Da Shao is Qian Zhi Qiang’s illegitimate son; otherwise, his status would be even higher, and the friends he associated with wouldn’t be just these girls from school.
Of course, there were other young heirs among today’s attendees, a group of friends with complicated backgrounds. The two who were closest to Qian Da Shao and stayed by his side were Wang Cheng and Liu Hai, both second-generation rich kids like himself, and also illegitimate sons of wealthy families.
Among the three, Qian Da Shao was the richest and most willing to spend money.
Qian Da Shao had just been bested, and both Wang Cheng and Liu Hai were quite unhappy about it.
The three stood in a corner, watching Shui Miao from afar and began discussing him.
“Where did that wild kid come from? He doesn’t look like much, but he’s pretty strong!” Wang Cheng lowered his voice and looked at Qian Da Shao, “Qian Ge, maybe I can find someone…”
Before Wang Cheng could finish his sentence, Qian Da Shao frowned and interrupted, “Forget it, you actually thought of that? He looks so delicate, could you really bring yourself to do it?”
“Qian Ge, but wait! Didn’t you like Zhang Hanya? Why are you being so nice to this kid?” Liu Hai was puzzled.
Qian Da Shao gave a strange smile and licked his lips, “Haven’t you noticed how soft and tender this kid is? He’s way more exciting than Zhang Hanya!”
“Eh…”
“Qian Ge, you’re into this kind of thing too?” Wang Cheng was somewhat incredulous.
Qian Da Shao looked at Wang Cheng disdainfully, “You’re too green. You don’t know that some men can be way more fun than women!”
“Haha, I believe that. I even tried it in Thailand…” Liu Hai smirked, his face filled with excitement.
Wang Cheng glanced at Shui Miao and swallowed hard, “Now that you mention it, this kid really is a bit different.”
“Of course! The man I, Qian Da Shao, have my eyes on can’t be ordinary!” Qian Da Shao rubbed his hands, “But this kid is pretty strong. Maybe even the three of us together couldn’t hold him down.”
“Ah, Qian Ge, you can’t just use brute force here!” Liu Hai raised his eyebrows and shook his wine glass, “Wine! Get him drunk, and you can do whatever you want!”
“That’s a good idea, but we should first find out a bit more about him. If he doesn’t have any background, then we…” Qian Da Shao turned around and patted Wang Cheng’s shoulder, “Wang Cheng, you take care of finding out about him. Liu Hai and I will go find some girls to get him drunk, and then we’ll let you have a taste too!”
“Eh… Haha, sure! Great!”
Wang Cheng smiled uncomfortably, but his heart was already racing with anticipation.
※※※
These three young heirs actually had ulterior motives toward Shui Miao!
Shui Miao sat on a rotating chair, seemingly savoring his wine, but in reality, he had spread his spiritual awareness, sensing everything around him. He heard every word the three young heirs had said.
Insult!
This was an absolute insult!
Scum, these three were nothing but scum!
Though Shui Miao’s expression remained calm on the outside, his heart was burning with fury.
He sensed that among the dozens of men at the party, half were filled with lustful thoughts, while the other half were students who had brought their girlfriends along to enjoy the free food and drinks. They were in pairs, driven by love. The rest were rich heirs who came to hunt for flirtations. However, the women accompanying them were mostly escorts or models, and it was more or less a mutual arrangement.
But Qian Da Shao and his two friends had gone too far, with no limits or morals!
Not only did they usually play with women, but now they had set their eyes on Shui Miao. This was like knocking their heads against a stone—just asking for death!
※※※
Wang Cheng approached Zhang Hanya deliberately to find out about Shui Miao’s background.
Meanwhile, Qian Da Shao and Liu Hai invited four beauties to come over and sit beside Shui Miao.
“Brother, have a few drinks?”
Qian Da Shao sat next to Shui Miao and snapped his fingers, “Bring out the 50,000 yuan per bottle red wine, two bottles.”
For most people, a bottle of red wine at 50,000 yuan was already very expensive.
Qian Da Shao intended to show off in front of Shui Miao.
Liu Hai immediately gave a thumbs up, “Qian Ge, you’re so generous! Two bottles costing 100,000 yuan! You’ve never treated me like this.”
These drinks were provided by the hotel, and the guests paid for what they consumed.
Shui Miao sneered coldly, “Only 100,000? I thought it would be a million.”
“Brother, what a big mouth you have! So bold, can you even drink it?” Liu Hai looked at Shui Miao with disdain, eyeing his plain clothes, convinced Shui Miao was just bragging.
Qian Da Shao, however, had other intentions. He could afford tens of thousands of yuan, and smiled as he said, “Yes! 50,000 yuan per bottle isn’t expensive, but if you, my brother, can finish both bottles by yourself, how about I get you two bottles at 300,000 yuan each?”
“This is your idea, right? You’re paying?”
Shui Miao pointed at Qian Da Shao.
Seeing Shui Miao getting excited, Qian Da Shao pressed Shui Miao’s hand, “Of course I’m paying. Here’s the deal: you drink two 50,000-yuan bottles today, and I’ll buy you two 300,000-yuan bottles. If you drink those two 300,000-yuan bottles, I’ll buy you two 500,000-yuan bottles. If you finish those two 500,000-yuan bottles, I’ll give you 1.7 million yuan in cash. And if you can keep drinking after that, no matter how much, I’ll cover the bill and give you double the price of the wine, however much you drink.”
“Haha! This is getting interesting, everyone come and see!” Liu Hai shouted excitedly, gathering everyone to watch Shui Miao make a fool of himself.
For a normal person, drinking four bottles would definitely make them drunk.
Shui Miao would have to drink six bottles to get the money, and no one had mentioned the size of the bottles for the next round.
Shui Miao remained silent until everyone gathered around, then nodded and said, “I don’t believe you. I want you to bring the cash here. Pay me after each bottle, and then I’ll drink.”
“Tsk! You’re scared, right? You’re just making excuses! Who here doesn’t know Qian Da Shao is a man of his word?” Liu Hai said unhappily.
Wang Cheng chimed in, “Come on, you’re at Qian Ge’s party, and you don’t even trust Qian Ge?”
“Alright, alright, this is the first time I’ve met Xiao Shui, so it’s natural he doesn’t trust me. Enough talk,” Qian Da Shao shook his head with a smile, then casually took out a gold bank card and handed it to the waiter, “Go, take my card to the manager and tell him to exchange all the money on my card into cash and bring it here. I’m giving you fifteen minutes. If you don’t come back in fifteen minutes, I won’t come here again.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll go right away!”
The waiter didn’t dare to delay and hurried off with the gold card.
Turning back, Qian Da Shao smiled at Shui Miao, “Brother, today it’s not me forcing you. It was you who said you could drink. If you get drunk or hurt yourself, don’t blame us for ruining you.”
“Hehe, I’m just afraid the cash you bring won’t be enough.”
Shui Miao gave a disdainful smile, thinking to himself, “You little brat, just wait and cry.”
Zhang Hanya knew Shui Miao’s abilities, how he could turn a baby salamander into a human. What was a few bottles of wine to him? However, to add a little drama, Zhang Hanya pretended to be worried and advised, “Xiao Shui, I think you should give up. Don’t push yourself too hard!”
“Hehe, no problem. Since Qian Da Shao is so kind to me, if I back down now, how can I still call myself a real man?” Shui Miao gently waved at Zhang Hanya, “Go, call Mei Ling and the others. With so much cash, I can’t carry it all by myself!”
“Hehe…”
“Tsk…”
As soon as Shui Miao spoke, everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, Shui Miao was the very definition of arrogance.
Zhang Hanya, upon hearing this, became excited. Shui Miao said “everyone,” which meant many people. Zhang Hanya knew that Shui Miao was always surrounded by beautiful girls. If they were all called here, Shui Miao would definitely gain a lot of face today!
Zhang Hanya ran aside and called Chen Mei Ling, Chu Miao Yi, Lin Zhi Ling, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang.
※※※
Fifteen minutes later, the hotel manager arrived with eight million yuan in cash, escorted by six security guards!
This was a blatant display of wealth!
Qian Da Shao proudly raised his wine glass, looked at the eight million yuan in cash, and then patted Shui Miao’s shoulder, “Xiao Shui, it’s not too late to back out now.”
“Back out? Are you kidding me!?”
Shui Miao removed Qian Da Shao’s hand from his shoulder and asked the waiter to bring a clean basin.
Then, Shui Miao poured both bottles of red wine into the basin.
As Shui Miao was about to start drinking, luxurious cars arrived one after another, and Chen Mei Ling, Lin Zhi Ling, and the others rushed in…
Seeing such beautiful women appear, many young heirs were stunned. Some of them immediately called their friends, urging richer and more handsome guys to come as soon as possible!
Soon after, Shui Miao finished all the wine in the basin.
“Bring more! Take out the remaining four bottles, I’ll drink them all together.” Shui Miao waved his hand.
The waiter was about to get the wine when Liu Hai quickly said, “Wait, I’ll choose the wine. These two, and these two.”
Liu Hai pointed to four bottles of red wine: two were 1.5 kilograms each, and two were 5 kilograms each. That meant Shui Miao had already drunk the previous two bottles, and now he was supposed to drink a total of 26 jin (approximately 13 kilograms) of red wine.
Even 26 jin of water would be impossible for anyone to drink in one go.
Liu Hai’s malicious move immediately enraged Zhang Hanya.
Zhang Hanya shouted, “You’re cheating! Why don’t you bring a wine barrel that weighs hundreds of jin?”
The three wealthy young men—the one who just shook hands with Shui Miao is Young Master Qian.
His father, Qian Zhiqiang, is a real estate magnate and the wealthiest individual in Zhonghai City, making their family exceptionally affluent. However, Young Master Qian is actually Qian Zhiqiang’s illegitimate son. Otherwise, his status would be even more elevated, and the company he keeps wouldn’t be limited to these schoolgirls.
Of course, there were other friends of the wealthy young men present today—all sorts of people, a very mixed crowd. The two young masters closest to Young Master Qian, accompanying him, are named Wang Cheng and Liu Hai. Both are also heirs of wealthy families but, like Young Master Qian, they are illegitimate children.
Among the three, Young Master Qian is the wealthiest and the most willing to spend money.
Just now, when Young Master Qian suffered a loss, both Wang Cheng and Liu Hai were extremely displeased.
The three stood in a corner, watching Shui Miao from afar and discussing among themselves.
“Where did this wild kid come from? Who would’ve thought he’d be so strong!” Wang Cheng lowered his voice and turned to Young Master Qian. “Brother Qian, should I get someone to…”
Before Wang Cheng could finish, Young Master Qian frowned and interrupted, “Enough! How could you even think of that? He looks so delicate and weak—how could you bear to lay a hand on him?”
“Brother Qian, that’s not like you! Weren’t you interested in Zhang Hanya? Why are you being so polite to this guy?” Liu Hai was puzzled.
Young Master Qian gave a strange smile, licking his lips. “Haven’t you noticed? This kid has such fair and tender skin—he’s even more exciting than Zhang Hanya!”
“Uh…”
“Brother Qian, since when do you have… such tastes?” Wang Cheng found it hard to believe.
Young Master Qian shot Wang Cheng a disdainful look. “You’re too naive. You have no idea—some men are way more fun than women!”
“Haha, I believe that. I’ve tried it in Thailand…” Liu Hai pursed his lips, his face full of excitement.
Wang Cheng looked at Shui Miao and swallowed. “Now that you mention it, this kid really does stand out.”
“Of course! How could anyone I, Young Master Qian, take a liking to be anything less?” Young Master Qian rubbed his hands. “But this kid is really strong. The three of us might not even be able to pin him down.”
“Ah, Brother Qian, why would you need to pin him down?” Liu Hai raised an eyebrow and swirled the red wine in his glass. “Alcohol! Get him drunk, and you can do whatever you want!”
“That’s a good idea. But we should first check out his background. If he doesn’t have any powerful connections, then we’ll… hehe!” Young Master Qian turned and patted Wang Cheng’s shoulder. “Wang Cheng, you handle the background check. Liu Hai and I will find some girls to get him drunk. When the time comes, we’ll let you have a taste too!”
“Uh… hehe, sure! Sounds good!”
Wang Cheng laughed uncomfortably, but deep down, he was already itching with anticipation.
※※※
These three wealthy young men actually had improper intentions toward Shui Miao!
Sitting on a swivel chair, Shui Miao appeared to be savoring the red wine, but in reality, he had extended his spiritual sense to perceive everything around him. The conversation among the three young masters was heard clearly by him.
Humiliation!
This was absolute humiliation!
Scum—these three were simply scum!
Outwardly calm, Shui Miao was boiling with rage inside.
Through his senses, Shui Miao also realized that among the dozens of men at the party, half were filled with lustful thoughts. The other half were students who had come with their girlfriends to enjoy free food and drinks—they were couples, brought together by love. The rest were all wealthy young men here to hunt for pleasure, though the women accompanying them were mostly escorts or models—mutual consent, mutual hookups.
But Young Master Qian and his two friends had absolutely no moral bottom line!
Not only did they usually toy with women, but today they even set their sights on Shui Miao. Weren’t they just asking for trouble, bringing a rock down on their own heads?
※※※
Wang Cheng intentionally approached Zhang Hanya to inquire about Shui Miao’s background.
Meanwhile, Young Master Qian and Liu Hai called over four beauties to join Shui Miao.
“Hey, brother, care for a drink?”
Young Master Qian and Liu Hai sat down on either side of Shui Miao. Young Master Qian snapped his fingers. “Bring two bottles of the 50,000-yuan red wine.”
Fifty thousand per bottle—for most people, that was really expensive.
Young Master Qian was trying to show off in front of Shui Miao.
Liu Hai immediately gave a thumbs up: “Brother Qian, you’re so generous! Two bottles—that’s 100,000 yuan! You’ve never treated me like this before.”
All the alcohol here was sold by the hotel, and they charged for whatever was consumed.
Shui Miao sneered, “Only 100,000? I thought it’d be a million.”
“Brother, you’ve got quite the tone! So arrogant—can you even handle your drink?” Liu Hai already harbored a dislike for Shui Miao. Judging by Shui Miao’s plain attire, he assumed Shui Miao was merely bluffing.
Young Master Qian’s intentions weren’t really about the alcohol. He could afford to spend a few hundred thousand. Smiling, he nodded. “That’s right! Fifty thousand per bottle isn’t too expensive. But if you, brother, can finish both bottles by yourself, I’ll treat you to the 300,000-yuan bottles. How about that?”
“Did you really mean that? You’re treating?”
Shui Miao pointed at Young Master Qian.
Seeing Shui Miao rise to the challenge, Young Master Qian pressed down Shui Miao’s hand. “Of course, it’s on me. Here’s the deal: if you drink two bottles of the 50,000-yuan wine, I’ll buy two bottles of the 300,000-yuan wine for you. If you finish those, I’ll get two bottles of the 500,000-yuan wine. If you manage to finish those two as well, I’ll give you 1.7 million yuan in cash. And if you can still drink after that, no matter how much you drink, I’ll cover the bill and even give you double the price of whatever you drink—paying you for each bottle.”
“Haha! This is getting interesting! Everyone, come and watch!” Liu Hai exclaimed excitedly, urging everyone to gather around and witness Shui Miao making a fool of himself.
An average person with a good alcohol tolerance would definitely get drunk after four bottles.
But Shui Miao would have to drink six bottles to get the money, and that wasn’t even considering the size of the subsequent bottles.
Shui Miao remained silent. Once everyone had gathered, he nodded and said, “I don’t trust you. I want you to put the cash right here. Settle the bill after each bottle. Only then will I do it.”
“Tch! Scared to drink, huh? Are you just making excuses? Everyone here knows how straightforward Brother Qian is!” Liu Hai said discontentedly.
Wang Cheng added, “You can’t be serious? You’re attending Brother Qian’s party, and you don’t even trust him?”
“Alright, alright. This is my first time meeting Brother Shui. It’s only natural that he doesn’t trust me. No more nonsense.” Young Master Qian shook his head with a smile, effortlessly pulling out a gold bank card and handing it to the waiter. “Go, take my card to your manager. Tell him to withdraw all the money on this card and bring it here in cash. I’ll give you fifteen minutes. If you’re not back in fifteen minutes, I’ll never spend another dime here.”
“Yes, yes! I’ll go right away!”
The waiter didn’t dare delay and hurried off with the gold card.
Turning back, Young Master Qian smiled at Shui Miao. “Brother, just so we’re clear—I’m not forcing you. You’re the one who said you can drink. If you get drunk or hurt yourself, don’t blame us for harming you.”
“Heh, I’m just worried you won’t have enough cash.”
Shui Miao smiled contemptuously, thinking, Just wait until you’re crying later.
Zhang Hanya knew about Shui Miao’s abilities—he could even transform salamanders into human form. Drinking a few bottles of wine was nothing to him. But to add fuel to the fire, she deliberately pretended to be worried and advised, “Xiao Shui, I think we should just forget it. Don’t push yourself!”
“Hehe, it’s fine. It’s rare for Young Master Qian to think so highly of me. If I back out now, how could I call myself a man?” Shui Miao gently waved his hand at Zhang Hanya. “Go, call Sister Meiling and the others. With that much cash, I can’t carry it all by myself!”
“Hehe…”
“Tch…”
As soon as Shui Miao said this, he was met with a wave of laughter from the crowd.
At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, Shui Miao was the embodiment of arrogance.
Zhang Hanya, however, was thrilled when she heard this. Shui Miao had said “everyone,” which implied many people. Zhang Hanya knew that Shui Miao was surrounded by beauties. If they all came, Shui Miao would gain immense face today!
Zhang Hanya ran off to the side and called Chen Meiling, Chu Miaoyi, Lin Zhiling, Da Shuang, and Xiao Shuang.
※※※
Fifteen minutes later, the hotel manager arrived with six security guards, escorting 8 million yuan in cash!
Showing off—this was blatant showing off!
Young Master Qian smugly held his glass of red wine, glanced at the 8 million yuan, then walked over and patted Shui Miao’s shoulder. “Brother Shui, it’s still not too late to back out.”
“Back out? Are you joking!?”
Shui Miao removed Young Master Qian’s hand from his shoulder and asked the waiter to bring a clean basin.
Then, Shui Miao poured both bottles of red wine into the basin.
Just as Shui Miao started drinking, luxury cars pulled up one after another. Chen Meiling, Lin Zhiling, and the others had arrived…
The appearance of such stunning beauties made many of the wealthy young men stare wide-eyed. Several of them immediately called their friends, urging even wealthier, taller, and handsomer men to come quickly!
Before long, Shui Miao finished all the wine in the basin.
“Next, bring out the remaining four bottles. I’ll drink them all together,” Shui Miao waved his hand.
The waiter was about to fetch the wine when Liu Hai quickly interjected, “Wait, I’ll choose the bottles. These two, and these two.”
The four bottles Liu Hai pointed to included two 1.5-kilogram bottles and two 5-kilogram bottles. In other words, aside from what Shui Miao had already drunk, he now had to drink another 13 kilograms of red wine.
Even if it were 13 kilograms of water, no one could down it in one go.
Liu Hai’s dirty trick instantly angered Zhang Hanya.
Zhang Hanya shouted, “You’re cheating! Why don’t you just bring a hundred-kilogram barrel!?”
“Now, now, Xiao Ya, that’s not fair. We only agreed on six bottles of red wine, but we never specified the size. Besides, out of these four bottles—two are worth 300,000 yuan each, and the other two are 500,000 yuan each. Do you think I don’t feel a pang in my heart spending this much? But since we’re all good friends, and with so many beauties here, you can all help drink. However, I have one condition: we have to mix a bottle of white liquor into these red wines.” Young Master Qian snapped his fingers. “Waiter, bring the Erguotou.”
Mixing red wine with Erguotou—this was a recipe for disaster!
Mixing red wine with Erguotou was practically a deadly combination!
