Chapter 2202 - 2175: Rose’s Words
In Jiang Liufeng’s heart, he knows that Rose loves Lu Tianxing; otherwise, she wouldn’t risk everything for him. But Jiang Liufeng never thought that Rose loved Lu Tianxing so deeply, so profoundly, that she would even become a devil, stand against the world, and remain fearless in the face of death. This love transcends everything, inspiring awe and envy.
"Grandpa, this is what I consider love."
Rose looked calmly at Jiang Liufeng and said, "That’s why there’s no fairness or unfairness in love; it’s only whether you truly gave your all. When you’ve given everything, even if you suffer, you’re still happy. That’s love."
"Rose, thank you for teaching me this lesson. I understand it now."
Jiang Liufeng slowly exhaled a murky breath and sighed deeply, "Rose, rest assured, in the future, I won’t meddle too much. But I hope you’ll remember this: if there’s ever a day Tianxing lets you down, I will make him kneel before you and apologize."
Upon hearing this, Rose gently shook her head and said to Jiang Liufeng, "Grandpa, I believe Tianxing won’t let me down. I trust him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Rose changed the subject, not waiting for Jiang Liufeng to respond: "By the way, Grandpa, how come you have time to visit Modu this time?"
Hearing Rose say this, Jiang Liufeng understood that she didn’t want to dwell on the topic and followed her lead, saying, "It’s nothing. I’ve stayed a long time on Qin Island and haven’t gone out for a while. Tianxing and Zhiqing invited me to visit Modu when they left. Anyway, the poison in me has been somewhat neutralized, and it’s boring staying on Qin Island, so I let Manman bring me to Modu for a change of pace."
Upon hearing Jiang Liufeng’s words, Rose immediately offered, "Grandpa, let Manman and me be your guides over the next few days, accompany you around Modu, and also take you to see Zhiqing’s grandparents and her company."
"Rose, I’m counting on you."
"Grandpa, it’s no trouble at all; it’s what I should do."
Rose smiled slightly, then swiftly said as if she had remembered something, "Oh, Grandpa, I almost forgot, I have a dish cooking! Sit here for a moment; I’ll go to the kitchen, and we can have dinner soon."
"Alright, you go ahead, don’t worry about me."
Jiang Liufeng nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Rose said nothing more and briskly walked toward the kitchen. It was Jiang Liufeng’s first visit to Modu, and as his granddaughter-in-law, she had to make a good impression.
Watching Rose’s hurried figure disappear into the kitchen, a hint of nostalgia flashed across Jiang Liufeng’s face. Then, deep in his eyes, an astonishing killing intent emerged. These are his loved ones, and anyone daring to harm them will become Jiang Liufeng’s enemy, an unrelenting foe.
...
Time flows like water, passing quickly.
The horizon grew increasingly dim, and the neon lights of the city gradually lit up, announcing the arrival of nightlife to all.
Within the Blue Night Charm Bar, as night fell, the quiet bar became lively and bustling.
There’s no denying, Huang Feiyu has a knack for running a bar. Even though it was barely past seven o’clock, not yet the bar’s peak hours, the atmosphere in the Blue Night Charm Bar was lively.
Energetic heavy metal music blasted through the surroundings, and in the center of the dance floor, countless men and women, as if they’d been injected with adrenaline, shook their heads and twisted their bodies madly. Of course, some men and women were wrapped in each other’s arms, with their hands constantly roaming over each other’s bodies, slowly moving toward the dark corners...
Around the nearby pole danseuses gathered quite a crowd, each person seemed as if they had been injected with adrenaline and kept shouting.
The pole danseuses skillfully stirred the atmosphere, occasionally making bold moves that caused many men to become excited and shout even more fervently.
The entire bar was filled with hedonistic ambiance.
This hedonistic vibe, coupled with the somewhat dim lights, persistently stimulated the hearts of countless men and women in the bar, allowing them to completely release the repressed feelings they experienced during the day and thoroughly forget their daytime selves.
Xue Bing and Lu Tianxing remained seated at the bar, keeping up their drinking with one drink after another together. Compared to Lu Tianxing’s unchanged expression, Xue Bing’s face was now flushed, like a fully ripe peach, with a softness seeming to yield juice when pinched, and her beautiful eyes shone, brightened under the lights, mysterious and alluring.
Lu Tianxing sat beside her, looking at Xue Bing speechlessly. He initially thought Xue Bing was only upset, and that once she’d had enough to drink, she’d leave. But he didn’t anticipate that Xue Bing would pull him along, forcibly drinking from noon to night. If not for his decent drinking capacity and assistance from Creation True Qi, helping neutralize the alcohol, he might be slumped over the table now.
"Let’s drink, let’s do it again."
Xue Bing mumbled, raising her glass to Lu Tianxing, before boldly downing the red wine in one go.
Lu Tianxing watched Xue Bing’s actions, the bitter smile on his face growing more pronounced. Since noon today, he’d nearly drunk all kinds of liquor with Xue Bing—red wine, white wine, shochu, rice wine, beer, and even soft drinks. Even if the bar didn’t have them, they’d have the staff go out to buy some. If it were anyone else, they’d likely have been hospitalized long ago.
The bartender, who had been devotedly mixing drinks for Xue Bing and Lu Tianxing since noon, was completely dumbfounded, wearing a perplexed expression as he looked at them.
As a bartender in the bar, he wasn’t unfamiliar with people who could handle their drinks, but he’d never encountered anyone who could drink as much as Lu Tianxing and Xue Bing. Drinking from noon to night for hours without rest, and alternating between different drinks, others would surely end up in the hospital’s intensive care unit.
