Chapter 57: Liquor Consumption

Lin He took the salt to the cashier to check out and then he walked out and said to Ren Yue, "You bought so many drinks, it seems that you are going to have an activity in the evening? I wonder if you could bring me one."

Ren Yue spread his hand. He knew that his clumsy remarks must have been discovered by Lin He, but... "Your mother is still waiting for your salt to cook," Ren Yue said, "so you'd better go home, or your mother will worry if she can't find you."

"It doesn't matter." Lin He said, "I've asked others to buy salt."

Ren Yue has no opinion on the arrival of Lin He. After all, how many people were not eating? The more people eat together, the more delicious the meal was.

But he thought of the reason why he stopped Mr. Bai from holding the banquet before. It seemed that he "would like to have dinner alone with Mr. Bai". If he took Lin He back at this time, Mr. Bai, who was determined to pick words, didn't know what he would do.

Lin He noticed Ren Yue's expression. The smile on his face disappeared for a moment. Soon he recovered his original indifferent smile and said, "I'm just joking. My mother is still waiting for the salt to cook. I couldn't follow you even if I wanted to."

"Didn't you just say you asked someone else to buy salt for you?"

"I just lied to you."

"..."

The encounter between Ren Yue and Lin He was really just an accident. Under the circumstance that both of them knew it well, Lin He and Ren Yue waved goodbye and went home. Ren Yue watched Lin He walk away, and then he got into the car. Once he sat in the passenger seat, the driver suddenly smiled and said, "Is that the young master's friend?"

"Yes, my childhood playmates."

The driver drove the car and said, "He looks like a very good child with a good personality."

"Yes, he's super good." Ren Yue nodded and affirmed, "He is very considerate. If you have a daughter looking for a partner, I would recommend him first."

The driver laughed and said, "It's a pity I don't have a daughter."

Ren Yue blinked. He turned to stare at the driver and said, "You don't have a daughter?"

"Yes, there is only one son in my family, he is so naughty as hell. I was hoping for a daughter. How nice the daughter is, father's sweet little padded jacket, but it's a pity..." the driver said with emotion, "But if I had a daughter, I certainly wouldn't consider that child. It's too simple. Such a person is bound to encounter many setbacks in society. I don't want my daughter to suffer with him."
(TN: This term has been used metaphorically by the Chinese to refer to daughters, who are often considerate and heartwarming, and therefore are compared to a “padded jacket in winter” for parents.)

Ren Yue did not follow the driver with emotion, but started another topic, "Uncle, how do I remember the last time we went to Happy Meat for barbecue, you said your daughter also liked to eat the barbecue there. That's why you know the location of that remote barbecue store."

The driver's pupils shrunk and a little sweat oozed from his forehead, but he soon calmed down then said nonchalantly, "Did you remember correctly? I'm talking about my son. My son especially likes to eat at Happy Meat barbecue. He eats it almost once a week, what a boy."

"Oh?"

The driver smiled dryly and said, "Hahaha, yes, don't you think it's very annoying?"

"I don't know."

The inside of the car suddenly fell into silence, and the driver stared at the front of the car and drove seriously, not daring to talk to Ren Yue again. And Ren Yue habitually began to analyze it because he accidentally learned the truth of one thing. So generally speaking, Mr. Bai was really an investigation maniac.

When they went to eat barbecue before, he and Mr. Bai had just met. When they first met, Mr. Bai's driver remembered the location of his favorite barbecue store. There was a huge amount of information hidden in it.

It seemed that Mr. Bai has done a lot of work before adopting him, and his subordinates have also done a lot of work, so Mr. Bai should be determined to adopt him. The question was whether there was a premeditated adoption, and whether Mr. Bai had done anything strange to achieve his goal.

Sure enough, he still doesn't understand clearly. He was not at ease.

Ren Yue's eyes flashed and suddenly sighed, "I bought the right booze today..."

The driver said repeatedly, "Yes, drink a little to make you happy."

Ren Yue turned to stare at the driver and asked leisurely, "How is Mr. Bai's alcohol intake?"

The driver became vigilant. He replied in a proper manner, "It's okay."

"How good is it?" Ren Yue asked slowly, "Just pour one cup? Two cups? Three cups... or more cups? How many?"

The driver didn't dare to answer. He didn't know Mr. Bai's drinking capacity, but looking at Ren Yue, he couldn't help answering, "Usually Mr. Bai drinks up to three cups..."

Ren Yue smiled and stopped putting pressure on the driver.

The driver finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sent Ren Yue back to the villa without stopping. After Ren Yue the little ancestor left, he completely relaxed.

When his heart was completely relieved, he remembered a very important thing. It was true that Mr. Bai only drank up to three cups at a time, but it was also white, and it was said that he... doesn't seem to last many cups?
