At the Su Family banquet, several bottles of Maotai were placed on the table.
There were also some foreign liquors and red wines whose names were unfamiliar, as well as fruit wines for the ladies.
Chen Shuo drank baijiu with the elders, accepting every offer and even actively toasting others.
After one round, the elders were stunned.
It's worth noting that this was quite a large round! With a huge round table and dozens of Su Family relatives, even one drink per person would be an impressive amount.
Cousin Sheng Xueyao even made a bet with Su Xiyan: "Xiyan, guess how many drinks it will take before your Chen Shuo collapses?"
Su Xiyan smiled softly: "What do you think, cousin?"
Sheng Xueyao: "Let's make a small wager! The loser drinks a glass of alcohol."
"I'll go first. I guess he'll collapse after the fifth drink."
A mischievous smile appeared on Su Xiyan's beautiful face: "I'll guess three drinks!"
Sheng Xueyao: "Xiyan, you should have more confidence in your man!"
Su Xiyan raised an eyebrow: "Because he's never drunk alcohol before."
Sheng Xueyao: "..."
"Xiyan! You're cheating!!"
"Hey, hey, hey? Xiyan, if your Chen Shuo has never drunk before, it means he's about to get drunk soon. Why do you still look so relaxed? Aren't you worried about him?"
Su Xiyan smiled without answering.
It would be better if Chen Shuo got drunk!
When would women have a chance if men didn't get drunk?
The smile on Su Xiyan's face gradually spread, making her look like a cunning white snow fox.
To Su Xiyan and Sheng Xueyao's surprise, Chen Shuo not only didn't collapse after three or five drinks.
He even finished an entire round without showing any signs of intoxication!
This was quite an explosive achievement in the history of Su Family drinking sessions!
Not only Su Xiyan and Sheng Xueyao, but even Su Yuanying and Su Old Lady, who had seen their fair share of grand occasions, were shocked.
He had lost count of how many drinks he'd had, but fortunately, the baijiu glasses were quite small, just about the size of a fingertip! Even drinking several glasses wouldn't cause bloating.
Chen Shuo put down his glass and calmly walked over to sit beside Su Xiyan.
Su Xiyan quickly poured Chen Shuo a cup of tea: "Chen Shuo, why are you showing off like this? You've never drunk before, suddenly drinking so much is harmful to your health."
Sheng Xueyao winked at Su Xiyan: "Oh? Our little cousin Xiyan knows how to care for others now?"
The elders present also looked at Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan with slightly puzzled expressions, all wondering what this young man had to attract their family's most beautiful daughter, apart from his handsome face and glib tongue.
Chen Shuo, however, was quite relaxed, only feeling the taste of baijiu in his mouth, both bitter and spicy. He couldn't understand why people would be fond of alcohol. Even the exorbitantly priced Maotai didn't taste that good. It wasn't even as good as a few-yuan can of soda!
Su Xiyan felt Chen Shuo's forehead: "You're breaking out in a cold sweat? Do you feel dizzy?"
Chen Shuo: "Huh? Should I feel dizzy?"
"I think... maybe a little bit!"
As he said this, Chen Shuo took the opportunity to lean on Su Xiyan's shoulder.
This series of small gestures overflowed with sweetness.
In fact, Chen Shuo wasn't drunk at all.
This amount of alcohol was nothing to him.
After all, he had a system! The body enhancement fluid rewarded by the system was enough to resist the effects of alcohol.
However, he still had to pretend. The system was a secret weapon, of course, it should be used secretly to surprise people for the best effect.
Everyone present was a monster hunter, especially Su Old Lady and Su Yuanying, whose eyes were like scanners, seemingly able to see through people's hearts and essence.
The current Chen Shuo did have a slight feeling of intoxication. But not much.
After one round of drinks, Chen Shuo had already won over several of the elders present.
This kind of generosity and magnanimity was rare among young people.
During the meal, Su Old Lady, as the eldest, didn't say much, only briefly inquiring about Chen Shuo's basic situation without expressing her own opinion, her words profound and inscrutable.
After the meal was over, Chen Shuo's first family banquet with the Su Family came to an end.
After saying goodbye to the elders, Chen Shuo prepared to leave.
He was stopped by Su Old Lady: "Chen Shuo, come here."
Su Xiyan quickly tugged at Chen Shuo's sleeve, lowering her voice: "Grandma is calling you! Go quickly. Don't be flippant in front of Grandma!"
Chen Shuo nodded and walked over to Su Old Lady.
Su Old Lady's white hair was combed into a traditional bun at the back of her head, her silver hair impeccably neat, just like the impression she gave, not allowing for the slightest error.
She just sat there, her gaze sharp, naturally exuding the aura of a family patriarch.
When Chen Shuo approached, Su Old Lady took out a large red envelope and handed it to Chen Shuo:
"This is Grandma's welcome gift for you. In the future, treat Xiyan well."
What a heavy red envelope! So heavy!
It was Chen Shuo's first time seeing a three-dimensional red envelope! How much money could it hold?
Accepting the red envelope from Su Old Lady with both hands, Chen Shuo looked at Su Old Lady's kind face and was inexplicably reminded of his own deceased grandmother.
A warm feeling spread in his heart.
Is this the care from an elder?
Chen Shuo suddenly felt that the red envelope in his hand was no longer attractive.
"You must be feeling unwell after drinking so much? In the future, don't try to show off, okay?"
Su Old Lady spoke slowly, her words full of care for her junior.
Su Yuanying looked at his daughter, then at Chen Shuo: "Xiyan, take Chen Shuo back to rest! Ask the hotel staff for something to help with the alcohol."
Chen Shuo stood up: "It's fine, I'm not drunk."
In fact, he really wasn't drunk, but in the eyes of the elders, everyone who had been drinking would say they weren't drunk.
Su Xiyan walked to Chen Shuo's side and took his arm: "Alright, don't worry, Dad. I'll take good care of him."
Su Yuanying nodded: "Hmm! Cherish someone who would drink recklessly for you."
Chen Shuo leaned on Su Xiyan, his hand resting on her fragrant shoulder, smooth and delicate. The pleasant scent of Su Xiyan's perfume seemed to grow wings and fly into Chen Shuo's nostrils.
It smelled quite nice!
Chen Shuo's chin rested on Su Xiyan's other shoulder, his gaze falling on a landscape of dazzling white beauty.
Wine doesn't intoxicate people, people intoxicate themselves. Chen Shuo felt like he was really getting a bit dizzy.
The waiter thoughtfully brought some milk, and Su Xiyan held the milk cup, giving Chen Shuo a couple of sips.
While others were drunk on alcohol, Chen Shuo seemed to be... drunk on milk?
As the banquet ended, the relatives gradually left.
In the vast private dining room, only Su Old Lady, Su Yuanying, and Su Meiyu remained.
After Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan left the room, Su Old Lady's eyes suddenly turned cold, her tone carrying a hint of questioning: "You know Chen Shuo is a vampire, right?"
