The dinner began with grandness and ceremony.

"Everyone, let me introduce these three people to you. They are Manager Fan from the winery, Manager Qiao from the silk shop, and Manager Zhou from the money house. They have given great support to our upcoming martial arts competition, and have come all the way to our Xuantian Gang. We all want to extend our warm welcome and applaud!" Du Ran introduced solemnly.

Then everyone toasted enthusiastically, except Qiao Wushuang.

"Manager Qiao, you can have tea instead of wine." Du Ran thought that maybe she was not used to drinking alcohol, so he poured her some tea and brought it over.

Qiao Wushuang looked at Mu Zhou awkwardly while holding the wine: "It's a bit insincere to use tea instead of wine in this situation, but, I really don't drink much..."

"Then don't force it..." Du Ran didn't even finish his words when he saw Qiao Wushuang, who had just said that he didn't drink much, drink up the wine in the glass.

"You...you don't have to drink it. It's okay. There's no need to force yourself." Du Ran was just about to change his opinion of Qiao Wushuang, but the next second, Qiao Wushuang said, "This wine is too spicy. Why do I suddenly have such a headache and chest pain? It feels like there's a fire burning. It's so uncomfortable..."

Before Du Ran called Liu Xihua over, Qiao Wushuang had already accurately located herself next to Mu Zhou, and then fainted, but not completely. She kept saying, "Mr. Mu, I just drank some wine, and I'm so dizzy and uncomfortable..."

Mu Zhou had no choice but to watch her fall to the ground, so he gave her a hand and asked Du Ran to carry her to her room.

"I just couldn't help it..."

"I understand!" Du Ran also knew that it was really helpless to encounter Qiao Wushuang acting like a rogue.

When Du Ran was sending Qiao Wushuang back to her room, Qiao Wushuang seemed to be sober and didn't need anyone's support to walk.

"Your feet are really fine this time?" Du Ran joked: "Next time you have to put on a full set, what if you get caught one day?"

"Don't worry Miss Du. Thanks to Doctor Liu's exclusive secret recipe, my feet don't hurt anymore. But Doctor Liu said I should walk less and rest more recently." Qiao Wushuang said coldly.

"Whether it's worth the trouble or not, I have to say this. This is the Xuantian Gang, not Yuecheng. It's not a place where you can do whatever you want! Everyone on this mountain knows about the relationship between Mu Zhou and me, so I advise you to be honest. Just like tonight, if you do something inappropriate, people will only laugh at you! It's not a big deal to laugh at you, but they will also involve me. I'm the leader of the Xuantian Gang. Because you make me lose face, I'll let you beat you up, believe it or not!" Du Ran threatened viciously.

"So what if you are the leader of Xuantian Gang? In broad daylight, if you hurt me, you will not escape the punishment of the government!"

"Government? What a joke! You are in the martial arts world now, not Yuecheng. Go out and ask around. Who in the martial arts world would be afraid of government sanctions? The government is not even as good as me, the gang leader, in the martial arts world, and you still want to use the government to sanction me!" Du Ran looked like he had heard some extremely funny joke.

Qiao Wushuang was stunned for a moment and said nothing more.

The welcoming banquet lasted until midnight. After all, Shopkeepers Zhou and Fan were so excited that they drank one cup after another and had a great time.

Even Mu Zhou, who had a good alcohol tolerance, felt a little dizzy after drinking.

"I say... Boss, if I drink any more, I'm going to die!" Doctor Liu lay under the table and clung to the edge of the table to avoid slipping off.

"Can you move now?" Du Ran pulled him up.

"Me? I may, perhaps, probably, be able to move. Even if I can't move, I can crawl!" Liu Xihua supported his neck to show his strength.

"Okay, then you go and make a few bowls of alcohol-cessation soup later. Otherwise, these people will be miserable tomorrow, especially Shopkeeper Zhou and Shopkeeper Fan. They are old, what if... So, Doctor Liu, you have to bear with it!" Du Ran patted Doctor Liu's shoulder solemnly and entrusted him with the important task.

Liu Xihua struggled and tried to complain about the injustice: "Boss, I can't move!"

"You just said you can move. If you can't move, just crawl!" Du Ran looked at him with a smile: "I'll give you chicken legs for dinner tomorrow!"

"I don't want to eat chicken legs! I want to have a plate of prawns by myself!" Liu Xihua bargained, and Du Ran agreed readily.

Then Liu Xihua staggered to the kitchen.

Although they drank the sobering soup, this group of people still slept until noon. Fortunately, they didn’t have a headache when they woke up, but their stomachs still felt uncomfortable.

"Mr. Mu, are you up?" Qiao Wushuang kept knocking on Mu Zhou's door while carrying some food.

Mu Zhou was upset: "No, stop knocking!"

"Mr. Mu, please get up and eat something. I went to the kitchen to bring it to you. You drank last night and haven't eaten anything yet. How can your body bear it? Please get up and eat something, Mr. Mu!" Qiao Wushuang continued to knock on the door, worry in her words.

"No! Go away!"

"He said he didn't want to eat anymore, didn't you hear me?" Whether it was coincidence or intentional, Li Quan happened to pass by here and saw this scene. He couldn't help but strike up a conversation and couldn't stop laughing in his heart.

Qiao Wushuang looked up at her and was shocked by Li Quan's appearance at first. In comparison, it seemed that the woman in front of him was even more of a rival to him.

"Although Mr. Mu said he doesn't want to eat, he still has to eat a little for the sake of his health. I'm afraid his body can't handle it." Qiao Wushuang said timidly.

"Are you afraid? You have a lot of things to worry about, but he has Du Ran, so your worries are unnecessary, aren't they?" Li Quan sneered.

Qiao Wushuang could also hear the unfriendly tone in Li Quan's words, but she still said timidly: "But Miss Du is really too busy to take care of Mr. Mu. If this continues, Mr. Mu's health will collapse. I am just concerned about you as a friend. Some things are always unclear to those involved."

"Oh? The authorities are the ones who are most confused? Do you mean that Mu Zhou was deceived? Or did Du Ran misjudge the person?" Li Quan asked knowingly: "Even if the authorities are the ones who are most confused, but the person involved is willing, what should we do? As the saying goes, money cannot buy willingness!"

"Excuse me, what is your name, young lady?" Qiao Wushuang changed the subject.

"Li Quan, I know you, Shopkeeper Qiao." Li Quan extended his hand in a friendly manner, and Qiao Wushuang shook it symbolically.

"Ms. Li Quan, do you think Miss Du and Mr. Mu are a good match?" Qiao Wushuang asked proactively.

Li Quan didn't expect Qiao Wushuang to ask her so bluntly, but she had almost let go of her obsession with Mu Zhou, and indirectly she was less hostile towards Du Ran. Putting aside her subjective opinions, Du Ran was a good person. Ever since she became the leader of the Xuantian Gang, no one in the gang had anything bad to say about her, and they even began to support her. It was clear that Du Ran was a good person.

"You think you're not worthy?" Li Quan asked back.

"Not worthy!" Qiao Wushuang replied directly.

Li Quan was stunned for a second.
