Chapter 1673: Knowing a person's face does not mean knowing their heart

Inside the bar, it felt like another world.

The music inside was deafening.

The lights flickered on and off.

After staying for a while, one would forget what year it was.

Wei Yangyang leaned into Jiang Motian's ear and asked, "Should we go to the dance floor to dance, or book a private room?"

The rhythm of the music here made Jiang Motian feel a bit uncomfortable.

She then said, "Let's book a private room."

"Alrighty."

Wei Yangyang said something to the waiter, and the waiter then led the two of them to the second floor.

Inside the private room, one could still hear the music, but the sound was much quieter than outside.

This made Jiang Motian involuntarily heave a sigh of relief.

Wei Yangyang then pointed at the menu and asked Jiang Motian, "What do you want to drink?"

"I don't really know."

"Actually, I don't really know either; last time, someone else ordered. How about... I'll just choose based on what catches my eye."

Wei Yangyang picked a few drinks with nice-sounding names, as well as a fruit platter.

Afterward, she suggested to Jiang Motian, "Let's drink some alcohol first, then go dance."

Jiang Motian was not in the mood to dance; she felt that just sitting quietly for a while and letting her mind go blank would also be quite nice.

However, after a few glasses of alcohol went down...

Jiang Motian changed her mind!

Wei Yangyang looked at the glasses on the table that were rapidly emptying and felt a bit worried: "I'm telling you, Tiantian, this is not how you drink alcohol."

"Then how should I drink it, with a straw?"

"No, I mean, you're drinking too fast."

"I just happened to be thirsty."

This alcohol was very deceptive; it was both sour and sweet, making it easy to forget that it was a glass of alcohol.

And it was also alcohol with a fairly high proof.

Three glasses down, and someone with Jiang Motian's tolerance went straight to feeling dizzy and weak-legged.

Besides that, Jiang Motian also felt the shackles on her spirit being unlocked; in her restlessness, she ran downstairs to dance.

Wei Yangyang was worried and followed Jiang Motian the whole time.

Incidentally, she helped Jiang Motian block the men who came to hit on her.

Jiang Motian's obedient and sweet appearance was truly very attractive.

Especially with her face all flushed...

It was enough to make people want to commit a crime!

Although Wei Yangyang was sober, helping to block off unwanted attention over and over again was truly exhausting!

She really wanted to drag Jiang Motian away.

But seeing Jiang Motian's smiling face...

Forget it, let her indulge a little longer!

On the other side—

After finishing the business regarding the company's opening, several of Xie Wanyi's subordinates wanted to come to the bar to celebrate.

Xie Wanyi did not like this kind of place.

But as the boss of this team, he still had to show his face.

Xie Wanyi prepared to pay the bill and then leave first.

It was just that...

How could he see Jiang Motian on the dance floor just as he arrived at the bar?

Were his eyes playing tricks on him?

Xie Wanyi looked carefully and discovered that it really was Jiang Motian!

Near Jiang Motian, there were also a few people staring at her with ill intentions!

These discoveries made Xie Wanyi narrow his eyes.

He patted a subordinate beside him, telling them to go have fun first, and he would go over in a moment.

Afterward, Xie Wanyi locked onto his target, then stepped through the crowd, approaching Jiang Motian.

Wei Yangyang had already accompanied Jiang Motian to dance for a long time.

At this moment, she really wanted to go to the restroom.

After holding it in again and again, Wei Yangyang instructed in Jiang Motian's ear, "I'm going to the restroom, I'll be back immediately. Remember, don't go off with anyone else! And don't pay attention to anyone!"

Jiang Motian nodded and agreed.

Wei Yangyang then sped up, rushing toward the direction of the restroom, preparing to go and return quickly.

However, not long after she left, Xie Wanyi walked behind Jiang Motian.

"What are you doing here?"

Although the music at the scene was very loud, Jiang Motian still caught Xie Wanyi's voice at once.

She turned her head to look, actually glared at him, and then continued to dance.

This glare left Xie Wanyi feeling baffled.

And... he sensed that this woman had been drinking!

Xie Wanyi's brows furrowed even deeper, and in the next second, he gripped Jiang Motian's wrist and prepared to leave.

A man who had been watching from the side immediately stepped forward, wanting to play the hero saving the beauty: "What do you think you're doing? Let her go!"

Xie Wanyi didn't speak either; he just stared straight at the other man.

His gaze was cold and ruthless.

Within a few seconds, the latter slowly lost his nerve under such a stare.

Although playing the hero to save a beauty was nice, staying alive was better!

Besides, not everyone... had the life to be a hero!

With a cold face, Xie Wanyi dragged Jiang Motian toward the bar's entrance.

And Jiang Motian, not knowing where she found the strength, shook off Xie Wanyi in one go.

She then yelled at him: "You have a girlfriend, stay away from me!"

Xie Wanyi was stunned by the shout.

It was during this moment of shock that Jiang Motian turned and walked away.

Xie Wanyi immediately followed and demanded: "What are you doing? Are you going back to dance?"

"I'm going back to the private room. I'm thirsty, I want to drink."

This woman, she actually still wanted to drink...

Xie Wanyi's expression was taut; he was clearly already furious.

He didn't speak, just silently followed Jiang Motian.

Jiang Motian was truly thirsty, and she didn't care if there was a tail behind her; she entered the private room, picked up a wine glass, and prepared to drink.

But at this moment, Xie Wanyi reached out his arm and pressed down on Jiang Motian's wrist.

Jiang Motian struggled, but couldn't break free.

This made her burn with anger, and she looked up and shouted: "Let go!"

"I won't!"

"You... what right do you have not to let go? Who are you to me, to control me?"

"I want to control you, so what?"

Xie Wanyi knew that there was no reasoning with a drunk person.

So he simply didn't reason; he used physical force to suppress her.

And his overbearing nature made the corners of Jiang Motian's eyes turn a little red.

Like a little leopard, she tilted her head back and said angrily: "I have my brother, and I have Xiaoshi, so it's not your turn to control me!"

Looking at Jiang Motian's aggrieved, red-eyed appearance, Xie Wanyi originally felt a bit of heartache.

But upon hearing her mention that person called Xiaoshi...

Xie Wanyi darkened his expression and warned: "Be careful of Xiaoshi."

"I think the person who should be most careful is you! You can know a person's face, but not their heart!"

Xie Wanyi was in the wrong, and he didn't explain anything for himself, only saying: "I'll take you home."

"No need, go away!"

Jiang Motian struggled forcefully.

Because she used too much force, the wine in the glass spilled out.

Worried that the wine would wet Jiang Motian's clothes, Xie Wanyi let go for the moment.

Jiang Motian seized the opportunity and tilted her head back to drink the remaining wine.

Afterward, she stared triumphantly at Xie Wanyi.

She was incredibly proud of herself.

Xie Wanyi felt a bit helpless, yet also a bit amused.

Now he didn't object to Jiang Motian drinking; he wanted to see just how much this woman could drink.

Jiang Motian did want to continue drinking.

Unfortunately, there were only three glasses of wine left in the private room.

After drinking them all, Jiang Motian leaned against the sofa to rest.

Seeing that this woman had finally settled down, Xie Wanyi let out a soft sigh of relief.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up Jiang Motian's phone and took a photo of her, drunk and leaning against the sofa.

Then...

He sent it to Li Xingyan.

When Li Xingyan saw this photo, he was extremely furious.

But remembering the last time he beat someone without rhyme or reason... only to find out it was a mistake, Li Xingyan kept his guard up.
