Pavilion, he unexpectedly discovered that Cheng and a servant were there too, pushing a handcart with a half-person-tall wooden beer barrel on top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the stone table, there were two enormous crystal beer mugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drinking again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, six people, why only two cups?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng felt a sense of curiosity, quite puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were already seated and waiting, staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces, noticing a strange phenomenon; they were all smiling, but each smile was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yun, the big shot, had a hint of a sneaky smile in his demeanor, which didn’t quite fit with his status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sneaky smile, right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng suddenly understood the meaning behind that smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sneaky smile from someone as important as Lu Yun felt truly eerie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wei Xuelian, he saw her smirking with her lips pursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the fatso from Zhengdong Province, his grin was sleazy, with a hint of schadenfreude, although when he looked at Bai Xiaosheng, his beady eyes blinked, as if trying to hint at something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wenqian was still all smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingfeng’s smile seemed relatively calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was not right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng looked around and felt a bit wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, Sheng, you’re back just in time,” Lu Yun coughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t make much sense for us to just drink tea here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve got a new batch of beer brewed on my estate, and it’s the perfect time to give it a taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hired craftsmen from a Belgian brewery, who improved the recipe with local experts, making the flavor superb, something you can’t find anywhere else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is definitely beer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those big cups must hold at least a liter, right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we are six people, and Lu, you have only two cups…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng pointed at the beer mugs on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yun coughed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve just recovered from a serious illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor said no drinking for me, so I won’t partake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng would think it strange to believe that tall tale since Lu Yun had clearly drunk red wine just earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This business tycoon, who was so calculated and meticulous earlier, couldn’t even be bothered to come up with a convincing lie now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t like drinking beer,” Wei Xuelian said with a smile, giving her reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m allergic to this kind of beer,” Lu Wenqian said cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an excuse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, is there an allergy running in your family then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng turned to his buddy, wondering what excuse the chubby friend could come up with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…” Zhengdong Province’s fatso seemed to be thinking on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You dare say you don’t like beer, you dare say you’re allergic too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby guy scratched his face, giving a sheepish smile, “They brought one cup too few.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a great excuse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll drink with you!” Lu Qingfeng was the only one who didn’t make up an excuse; instead, he looked eager and a bit like he was rolling up his sleeves for a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two cups, they were clearly prepared for the two of us!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly a trap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was, how did Zhengdong Province and Wei Xuelian end up getting turned…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Xiaosheng was not afraid and smiled at Lu Qingfeng, “Just us two, drinking neat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drinking neat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s no fun at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should make it interesting, don’t you think so,” Lu Yun said with a hearty laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone echoed in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make a drinking game interesting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was also curious about what they were going to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng ran over, hugging a square blackboard in his arms, equipped with a magnetic eraser and a groove at the bottom holding some chalk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are they playing at, a drinking command game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng looked on in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheng, I’ve heard you come from a liberal arts background, and you’re proficient in math and science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You even won a week’s breakfast from Xuelian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly versatile in both arts and sciences,” Lu Yun said with a smile of praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Zhengdong Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kid knew he studied arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Wei Xuelian again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That girl had lost a breakfast bet to him and had been brooding over it ever since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been those two who sold him out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve also heard that you have a vast knowledge of history and anecdotes about famous people from all times, and you have unique insights into modern photography, fashion, and trends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, for one, would like to see that for myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yun smiled and pointed at Lu Qingfeng, “This guy talked with you and was very impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also likes all sorts of miscellaneous things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you guys are going to drink, why not have a competition?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was the idea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng laughed, looking at Lu Qingfeng, certain that he wanted to defeat him in public for once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng and Lu Yun had a ten-year promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their relationship could only get closer, not more distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Bai Xiaosheng had previously wanted to get back at Lu Qingfeng because of Wei Xuelian, he couldn’t really do so now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since he was offering himself up on a platter…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I’ll just play with you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng, grinned mischievously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s mischievous smile, Lu Qingfeng felt a little uneasy for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say he was scared would be overstating it, but he felt a measure of caution and dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s wrong with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to win in front of Xuelian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t lose in terms of momentum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingfeng brimmed with a fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the woman he liked, his confidence soared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since we’re playing, let’s make it interesting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qingfeng said to Bai Xiaosheng, “I asked Zhengdong Province, and since you enrolled late, you’re a year older than him, so you’re the same age as me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s not nitpick over months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s compete in three rounds, best two out of three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The winner gets to be the ‘brother,’ and the loser, the ‘brother’s boy.’ How about it?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was astonished, even Lu Yun looked at his son in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hadn’t been discussed beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You wouldn’t dare to refuse in front of Xuelian, right?” Lu Qingfeng smiled looking at Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xuelian blushed slightly as Lu Qingfeng’s words made her, and she looked at Bai Xiaosheng with bright, beautiful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I accept!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Wei Xuelian, Bai Xiaosheng immediately agreed, thinking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to teach you, coveting your brother’s wife is shameful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, since you’ve made a request, shouldn’t I make one too?” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile brimming with meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would only be fair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhengdong Province couldn’t help but look at Lu Qingfeng, silently pitying him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew too well the smile on Bai Xiaosheng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It always appeared just before he schemed against someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome for the other party was always tragic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhengdong Province had been thinking about Lu Wenqian; in his heart, he had long regarded Lu Qingfeng as his uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t bear to watch his uncle jump into a pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the other hand, there was his good brother, as close as a real brother…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, uncle, I can’t help you there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’d better fend for yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhengdong Province sighed silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak!” Lu Qingfeng, bearing a military background, was straightforward by nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Wei Xuelian, he wouldn’t let himself look hesitant or afraid of Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My request is super simple.” Bai Xiaosheng pointed smilingly at the one-liter beer mug, “During the three rounds we compete in, whoever loses drinks as many cups as the number of the round.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loser of the first round drinks one cup, the loser of the second round drinks two cups, and the third time, that’s three cups!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A one-liter beer mug, three cups make three liters, the same volume as a mini jug of drinking water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s pretty ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I agree!” Lu Qingfeng declared earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, Lu Qingfeng, would not admit defeat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng smiled with narrowed eyes, looking at the big cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was quite looking forward to it…\u003C\u002Fp>",1397,"2026-06-05T17:42:23.583Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab73124b60ac1cd86f199d094a39a32648d177e4f92a05d32f2cfe94eb4be34a","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-117","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-115",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
