Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Another Bet......_1

When Bai Xiaosheng returned to the Lake Heart 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.

Looking at the stone table, there were two enormous crystal beer mugs.

Drinking again?

But, six people, why only two cups?

Bai Xiaosheng felt a sense of curiosity, quite puzzled.

The others were already seated and waiting, staring at him.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces, noticing a strange phenomenon; they were all smiling, but each smile was different.

Lu Yun, the big shot, had a hint of a sneaky smile in his demeanor, which didn’t quite fit with his status.

A sneaky smile, right!

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly understood the meaning behind that smile.

A sneaky smile from someone as important as Lu Yun felt truly eerie!

Looking at Wei Xuelian, he saw her smirking with her lips pursed.

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.

Lu Wenqian was still all smiles.

Lu Qingfeng’s smile seemed relatively calm.

Something was not right.

Bai Xiaosheng looked around and felt a bit wary.

”Ahem, Sheng, you’re back just in time,” Lu Yun coughed. ”It doesn’t make much sense for us to just drink tea here. I’ve got a new batch of beer brewed on my estate, and it’s the perfect time to give it a taste. 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.”

Beer? This is definitely beer!

Those big cups must hold at least a liter, right!

”But we are six people, and Lu, you have only two cups...”

Bai Xiaosheng pointed at the beer mugs on the table.

Lu Yun coughed again.

”This... I’ve just recovered from a serious illness. The doctor said no drinking for me, so I won’t partake.”

Lies!

Bai Xiaosheng would think it strange to believe that tall tale since Lu Yun had clearly drunk red wine just earlier.

This business tycoon, who was so calculated and meticulous earlier, couldn’t even be bothered to come up with a convincing lie now...

”I don’t like drinking beer,” Wei Xuelian said with a smile, giving her reason.

”I’m allergic to this kind of beer,” Lu Wenqian said cheerfully.

What an excuse!

So, is there an allergy running in your family then?

Bai Xiaosheng turned to his buddy, wondering what excuse the chubby friend could come up with.

”I...” Zhengdong Province’s fatso seemed to be thinking on the spot.

You dare say you don’t like beer, you dare say you’re allergic too!

Bai Xiaosheng glared at him.

The chubby guy scratched his face, giving a sheepish smile, ”They brought one cup too few.”

...

What a great excuse!

”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.

These two cups, they were clearly prepared for the two of us!

This was clearly a trap!

Bai Xiaosheng finally understood.

The question was, how did Zhengdong Province and Wei Xuelian end up getting turned...

However, Bai Xiaosheng was not afraid and smiled at Lu Qingfeng, ”Just us two, drinking neat?”

”Drinking neat? That’s no fun at all. We should make it interesting, don’t you think so,” Lu Yun said with a hearty laugh.

”Exactly!”

”Yeah!”

Everyone echoed in unison.

Make a drinking game interesting? Bai Xiaosheng was also curious about what they were going to play.

Cheng ran over, hugging a square blackboard in his arms, equipped with a magnetic eraser and a groove at the bottom holding some chalk.

What are they playing at, a drinking command game?

Bai Xiaosheng looked on in surprise.

”Sheng, I’ve heard you come from a liberal arts background, and you’re proficient in math and science. You even won a week’s breakfast from Xuelian. Truly versatile in both arts and sciences,” Lu Yun said with a smile of praise.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Zhengdong Province. That kid knew he studied arts. He glanced at Wei Xuelian again. That girl had lost a breakfast bet to him and had been brooding over it ever since.

It must have been those two who sold him out!

”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. I, for one, would like to see that for myself.”

Lu Yun smiled and pointed at Lu Qingfeng, ”This guy talked with you and was very impressed. He also likes all sorts of miscellaneous things. Since you guys are going to drink, why not have a competition?”

Oh! So that was the idea!

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, looking at Lu Qingfeng, certain that he wanted to defeat him in public for once.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng and Lu Yun had a ten-year promise. Their relationship could only get closer, not more distant.

Even though Bai Xiaosheng had previously wanted to get back at Lu Qingfeng because of Wei Xuelian, he couldn’t really do so now. However, since he was offering himself up on a platter...

Then I’ll just play with you!

Bai Xiaosheng, grinned mischievously.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s mischievous smile, Lu Qingfeng felt a little uneasy for some reason. To say he was scared would be overstating it, but he felt a measure of caution and dread.

What’s wrong with me? I have to win in front of Xuelian. I can’t lose in terms of momentum!

Lu Qingfeng brimmed with a fighting spirit. In front of the woman he liked, his confidence soared!

”Since we’re playing, let’s make it interesting!”

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! Let’s not nitpick over months. Let’s compete in three rounds, best two out of three. The winner gets to be the ’brother,’ and the loser, the ’brother’s boy.’ How about it?!”

The crowd was astonished, even Lu Yun looked at his son in surprise.

This hadn’t been discussed beforehand.

”What do you say? You wouldn’t dare to refuse in front of Xuelian, right?” Lu Qingfeng smiled looking at Bai Xiaosheng.

Wei Xuelian blushed slightly as Lu Qingfeng’s words made her, and she looked at Bai Xiaosheng with bright, beautiful eyes.

”I accept!”

In front of Wei Xuelian, Bai Xiaosheng immediately agreed, thinking:

I have to teach you, coveting your brother’s wife is shameful!

”However, since you’ve made a request, shouldn’t I make one too?” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile brimming with meaning. ”That would only be fair.”

Zhengdong Province couldn’t help but look at Lu Qingfeng, silently pitying him.

He knew too well the smile on Bai Xiaosheng’s face. It always appeared just before he schemed against someone.

The outcome for the other party was always tragic!

Zhengdong Province had been thinking about Lu Wenqian; in his heart, he had long regarded Lu Qingfeng as his uncle. He couldn’t bear to watch his uncle jump into a pit.

But on the other hand, there was his good brother, as close as a real brother...

So, uncle, I can’t help you there. You’d better fend for yourself.

Zhengdong Province sighed silently.

”Speak!” Lu Qingfeng, bearing a military background, was straightforward by nature. In front of Wei Xuelian, he wouldn’t let himself look hesitant or afraid of Bai Xiaosheng.

”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.”

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!

A one-liter beer mug, three cups make three liters, the same volume as a mini jug of drinking water!

That’s pretty ruthless.

”Okay, I agree!” Lu Qingfeng declared earnestly.

He, Lu Qingfeng, would not admit defeat!

Bai Xiaosheng smiled with narrowed eyes, looking at the big cup.

He was quite looking forward to it...
