Chapter 1666: To Be Alive Is the Greatest Luck

But... why did Jiang Motian suddenly have blurred memories?

Even these eyes feel so unfamiliar!

Wei Yangyang looked at Jiang Motian, then looked at the man opposite, and asked, "Do you... know each other?"

Jiang Motian finally came back to her senses and explained, "He is a friend I knew many years ago."

"Meeting an old friend is a joyous occasion in life; why not have a meal together!"

Wei Yangyang's suggestion was accepted by Xiaoshi.

However, he said to Wei Yangyang, "I would like to eat with Tiantian alone, and catch up while we're at it."

His meaning was that he wanted to leave Wei Yangyang behind.

Wei Yangyang was stunned for a moment, but didn't say much, and even recommended some good restaurants nearby to the two of them.

Jiang Motian had been in a daze the whole time.

It wasn't until she and Xiaoshi were sitting in the restaurant that she suddenly felt a sense of being grounded.

She stared at the somewhat uneasy young man in front of her and asked, "What is your name now?"

"You can just keep calling me Xiaoshi; everyone at my workplace calls me that too."

"How have you been all these years?"

"Just ordinary, just scraping by, not as outstanding as you."

As he spoke, Xiaoshi rubbed the back of his head, as if very worried that Jiang Motian would look down on him.

Jiang Motian sensed this cautiousness.

She didn't want to make her friend feel cold, so she immediately smiled and said, "I'm just doing what I like, I'm not that outstanding. But I have been looking for you all these years, yet I had no news of you."

Jiang Motian's words were meant to tell him that she cared very much about him as a friend.

And that she hadn't given up on him.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoshi showed a look of gratitude.

Then he said, "After the accident, I was washed up by the sea to an unknown little fishing village and fell gravely ill. After I recovered, I grew to like the peaceful life there, so I stayed."

"Then... didn't you think about looking for me?"

These words made Xiaoshi lower his head in shame, muttering, "At that time, I simply didn't have the ability..."

That's right, Xiaoshi was just a child back then.

With no power, no influence, and no background, how could he look for her?

Jiang Motian knew she was being unreasonable, so she immediately started talking about something else: "The fact that we can both be alive is the greatest stroke of luck."

Xiaoshi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and even gave Jiang Motian a simple, honest smile.

His smile, however, made Jiang Motian feel dazed.

Before this, she had always wanted to see Xiaoshi again.

But why, now that she had seen him, was her mood... so calm?

In a daze, Jiang Motian noticed that Xiaoshi had poured her a glass of wine.

Xiaoshi seemed to have gathered his courage and said, "It is truly fate's favor that we could reunite; let's have a drink to fate!"

This drink was indeed worth having.

Jiang Motian smiled, raised her glass, and drank it.

But before she could soothe the spiciness on the tip of her tongue, Xiaoshi raised his glass again, his eyes red, and said, "After I stabilized, I should have looked for you to confirm you were safe. It was my lack of ability; I will punish myself with this drink!"

"Xiaoshi..."

Jiang Motian called out.

But Xiaoshi still drank the wine in his glass.

Under the influence of the alcohol, Xiaoshi's emotions became agitated.

The speed at which he drank became faster and faster.

Worried that he would get drunk, Jiang Motian advised, "Drink less; this wine has a high alcohol content and it's easy to get drunk."

"Getting drunk is fine, it's a happy occasion. But don't worry, once I finish this bottle, I won't drink anymore."

"If you don't want to drink, then don't; it's not like you have to finish it."

"No, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't finish it? I've lived through hard times and can't stand to see things go to waste."

After saying this, Xiaoshi patted his stomach again and laughed, "Although this wine has a high alcohol content, it's good wine; drinking it into my stomach is no loss!"

When Xiaoshi laughed, he revealed his white teeth.

Jiang Motian watched, feeling dazed, thinking that the man in front of her had become somewhat similar to the little boy from back then...

Her gaze fell back onto that bottle of wine.

The alcohol content of that wine was relatively high.

If one person drank it all, they would definitely pass out.

Jiang Motian shook her head helplessly and decided to help share it.

But after a few glasses...

Jiang Motian was the first to collapse onto the table.

"Tiantian, Tiantian?" Xiaoshi called out softly.

Upon confirming that Jiang Motian was indeed drunk, a cold glint flashed in the depths of Xiaoshi's eyes.

At this moment, he no longer cared about wasting food; he abandoned the table full of delicacies that had barely been touched and prepared to take Jiang Motian away.

But just at this moment...

Someone blocked his path!

Supporting Jiang Motian, Xiaoshi commanded impatiently, "You're blocking the way, move aside!"

"Put her down."

Jiang Motian's consciousness was blurred at this moment.

But...

Why did it seem like she heard Xie Wanyi's voice?

Jiang Motian really wanted to look up and see.

But she truly had no strength.

In this very instant, she completely lost consciousness.

Xiaoshi felt the man in the baseball cap before him was an eyesore, so he revealed a fierce expression: "Don't you go meddling in other people's business!"

"I'll say it again, put her down!"

"You think I'll put her down just because you say so? Do you know what the consequences are for meddling in other people's business?"

"I only know that you have ulterior motives!"

"Hmph, how do you know I have ulterior motives? Do you have any evidence?"

... Yes, what evidence did Xie Wanyi have to prove that he intended to harm Jiang Motian?

Xie Wanyi clenched his fists and fell silent.

Discovering that the man opposite him was no longer speaking, Xiaoshi triumphantly raised an eyebrow.

Afterward, he put on a sanctimonious appearance again and said, "She is my friend; she drank too much, and I am taking her home. Now, can you move aside!"

Xie Wanyi actually stepped aside.

But this did not mean... he would just stand by and watch!

Xie Wanyi turned and followed the man out of the restaurant, and after watching him get into a car, he continued to drive and follow.

At the same time, he took out his phone and called a man.

Once the call connected, Xie Wanyi only said one sentence: "Your sister is drunk and has been taken away by a man; the license plate number is..."

Because Xie Wanyi used a voice changer, Li Xingyan did not recognize who was calling.

However, the content of what the other party said...

Caused Li Xingyan to radiate a terrifying aura!

To think someone actually dared to get his sister drunk!?

They were truly courting death!

Li Xingyan immediately put down all the work at hand and had people track down the whereabouts of that car.

Meanwhile, Xie Wanyi was still following the car Xiaoshi was in.

Not long after, he saw Li Xingyan's car suddenly appear.

Li Xingyan drove like a madman.

With a sudden emergency brake, he forced the other car to a stop, then yanked the car door open and, without a word, dragged Xiaoshi out!

Xiaoshi was completely dazed.

Before he could even react, he was struck by a punch to the left and a punch to the right!

Those were punches that landed squarely on flesh, hurting him so much he wailed!

Under such an assault, Xiaoshi was black and blue, and in the end, he couldn't even make a sound to beg for mercy.

After venting his anger, Li Xingyan tossed Xiaoshi onto the ground like a bag of trash.

Then he walked around to the other side of the car and carefully picked up Jiang Motian.
