Chapter 107 Toast
This bottle of wine has just been opened. It is full and has not been touched at all.
And it's fifty-proof liquor.
Jiang Mo swallowed unconsciously. The stares from the people around her and Gu Jichen's oppressive eyes made her feel like a ray of light on her back, making her very uncomfortable.
"There will be filming tomorrow. If I do it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up." Jiang Mo gave a somewhat forced smile.
"It doesn't matter, the shooting time can be adjusted." Gu Jichen said slowly, "Since you just said it was an honor, you should let me see your sincerity."
Others couldn't help but look at each other.
Everyone could see that Gu Jichen was making things difficult for Jiang Mo.
When we were toasting just now, many people said this, but Mr. Gu just laughed it off.Why did Mr. Gu not let go of Jiang Mo when he arrived?
How did Jiang Mo offend Mr. Gu?
It's too embarrassing to ask a girl to drink an entire bottle of liquor.
Zhao Li walked over and stood between Gu Jichen and Jiang Mo with a smile: "Mr. Gu, Momo can't drink well. In this way, I will do this bottle for her. What do you think?"
"Are you taking her place?" Gu Jichen sneered and glanced at Zhao Li indifferently, "Who are you to her? What qualifications do you have to take her place?"
Zhao Li's scalp tightened, and he suddenly sobered up for the most part from his chaotic drunken state.
He was obviously here to save the situation. Most people just walked down the steps. I didn't expect Gu Jichen to be so disrespectful. Did he still have to punish Jiang Mo?
Now that he has come over, Zhao Li can only bite the bullet and continue to laugh: "Hahahaha, these young people on the set are the ones we have to take care of. If Momo accidentally drinks something bad, the first one will be We are the ones responsible. Otherwise, Momo and I will share it, half of each of us!"
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly winked at the producer. The producer understood and came over with a smile: "Count me in. The three of us will share this bottle of good wine. Let's pay homage to Mr. Gu!"
"Okay, okay." Zhao Li laughed and reached out to hold the wine bottle.
Gu Jichen raised his hand to block his movement.
"You don't understand what I'm saying?" He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, and his tone was sharp and ruthless, "I told her to drink alone, who do you think you are, rushing to join her?"
Zhao Li and the producer are also well-known figures, and they are usually respected by young actors. How could he have been slapped in the face so bluntly and mercilessly?Suddenly, his face became extremely ugly.
The atmosphere suddenly became more stagnant, as if there was an inexplicable smell of gunpowder filling it, making people almost suffocate.
Jiang Mo took a deep breath and stepped forward.
She smiled and said: "I appreciate your kindness, but this is the first time I have seen such a good wine. I want to drink it very much, so I won't share it with you. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will invite you alone. You two."
The producer hurried down the slope and said, "Xiao Jiang, I will remember what you said. Don't break your promise in the future!"
"I can't forget it, and Director Zhao will definitely remember it for me."
Zhao Li's expression softened a lot and he responded with a smile: "That's right."
The two people sat back in their seats, and Jiang Mo turned to look at Gu Jichen.
The smile on her face faded slightly, and she pinched the exquisite wine bottle that looked like it was carved from white jade.
The refreshing coldness spreads from the palm of my hand to the bottom of my heart.
Gu Jichen was outright making things difficult, and she knew it.But she couldn't think of the reason why Gu Jichen did this.
Do you want her to make a fool of herself if she drinks too much?Or should she beg him to say that she can't drink?Or is it just that you just want to embarrass her and make her feel uncomfortable?
All in all, he was making things difficult for himself.
Maybe it has something to do with the news from the past two days?Jiang Mo guessed that he saw Cheng Yi being embarrassed by him, so he helped Cheng Yi vent his anger.
Then he was really "deeply affectionate" for Cheng Yi, Jiang Mo thought sarcastically, Cheng Yi had so many dark histories, but he was still willing to protect her.
It's rare.
"Mr. Gu, I respect you." With a sarcastic smile on her lips, she raised the wine bottle in her hand towards Gu Jichen.
She didn't use a wine glass, she just raised her head and blew on the bottle.
The spicy wine flowed down the mouth, passed through the throat, and spread into the stomach. The whole chest suddenly felt like a fire, so spicy that it hurt.
It didn't matter, no matter what reason or purpose he had to make things difficult for her, she would accept it all.
Jiang Mo usually likes to drink, but only for a small amount, and they are all low-alcohol concoctions.It was her first time to drink such a strong drink, let alone drink it so hard and urgently.
She accidentally choked and stopped, coughing violently.
Her fair face suddenly turned red, and her capillaries seemed to burst.She hunched over slightly, coughing so hard that she couldn't breathe, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
In the private room where the drop of a needle could be heard, the only sound was her suppressed and dull cough, one after another, as if she was coughing out her heart, liver, and lungs.
Some people looked away, unable to bear to look at her.No one spoke for her, as if she was a death row prisoner who was being tortured. Anyone who asked for mercy on her behalf would anger the powerful king.
Gu Jichen looked at her coldly and tapped his index finger on his knee slowly.He thought that as long as she relented, as long as she lowered her head and said she couldn't drink anymore, he would let her go.
Inexplicably, he couldn't stand the way she was holding her neck when she faced him, which gave him a bad taste and wanted to break her spine.
He wanted to see if she was still smiling after drinking.
But he thought wrongly. How could a person who didn't ask for help when a knife was held to his neck be humbled by a bottle of wine?
Jiang Mo stopped coughing and continued to drink the rest of the wine.
In fact, she was so drunk that her consciousness began to blur. The whole world spun and turned upside down in her eyes. Everything became a double image and she could not see anything clearly.
She was like a mechanical machine, her senses of taste and smell were numb, and she only knew how to swallow.
Even though her throat hurt like a knife every time she swallowed, she still didn't stop.
Physiological tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't know it.
The tear slid down the corner of her eye and disappeared into her black hair, leaving a water stain that was particularly conspicuous under the light.
Gu Jichen rubbed his slender fingers unconsciously.
"Okay." He suddenly said.
Jiang Mo still didn't stop.
Gu Jichen's eyes and voice were serious, with a frightening chill: "I said it's okay."
Luo Hongfeng hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the wine bottle from Jiang Mo's hand: "Mr. Gu said it's okay, don't drink it!"
Jiang Mo coughed twice more.
Her cheeks were flushed, and the ends of her eyes seemed to be stained with the strongest rouge, showing an extremely enchanting look.
Jiang Mo's arms were shaking slightly, but she still held the table firmly.The other hand held the wine bottle and slowly tipped the bottle over.
The mouth of the bottle was downward, and not a drop of liquid came out.
She finished her drink.
She let go and the bottle fell to the ground, shattering.
She staggered forward and approached Gu Jichen.
She had no idea about distance now, and she didn't seem to know that she was almost close to Gu Jichen.Their faces faced each other, with only a few centimeters between them.
Jiang Mo chuckled.Her vision was blurry, but her eyes were sharp and clear, even with a provocation as bright as fire: "I've finished drinking, are you satisfied?"
