Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 125

Jean smiled as she knew that the other women would dish out mindless, meaningless praise. And so she said, "I found a good husband. Didn't you find good husbands as well? Speaking of husbands, how about we play a game?" a hint of slyness flashed in her eyes.

"What game?"

"A game to see whose husband can drink the most. If they can't drink any more, then we will drink instead. How about that?" As soon as Jean finished explaining, the other women were stunned. They didn't expect that Jean would put forward such an idea.

Madeline frowned and forced a smile, "This isn't a very good game. All of our husbands have drunk a lot already. Look at Maggie's husband. He's asleep now."

"Let's find out." Jean said with a sly smile as she turned to Zed. "Honey, would you mind playing the game?" She asked Zed before leaning forward and whispering, "You are not drunk yet. Can you manage one more little drink, please?" She implored hoping that Zed would agree.

He raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "I'm game! But the other men might not be able to manage." There was a hint of mockery in his tone.

Madeline couldn't stand the challenge in his words and so, she said to her husband, "Since you've already emptied your stomach, you must be feeling better. Can you play?"

Mark Li, Madeline's husband, gulped at the idea of more alcohol. But he couldn't refuse Madeline, not after she flashed him a hostile expression. And so, he nodded and forced a smile. "Since Mr. Qi wants to play, how could we refuse?"

Hearing him, the other men groaned. They had drunk enough and didn't feel up to the challenge either. However, they couldn't refuse now and leave it to their wives to enter the drinking competition.

Jean didn't worry about whether or not she was going to win this game because she knew that Zed had great tolerance for alcohol. She smiled when she saw that Zed was able to drink more than the other men. She won the game twice in a row. Zed sipped at his drink slowly while the other three men had rushed to empty their glasses. Perhaps they thought they'd be able to relax after they had emptied their glasses.

Maggie shook her head and said in defeat, "I can't drink more. I can't drink any more." She cursed her husband for having drunk enough to pass out. If it hadn't been for his low tolerance level, she would not be drinking in his place. She covered her mouth and rushed out even before she could finish her protest.

Madeline frowned and glanced at Maggie's retreating form. She waved her hand and said in a cold voice, "Shame!"

A few more rounds later, all the men except Zed had passed out. Jean wore a triumphant smile as she stared at the three women.

Wendy's and Madeline's faces turned as dark as coal. Their intention was to get Jean drunk. However, the game started after their husbands had drunk a lot. Had their men not been so drunk already, the challenge might have been a fair one and they might have had a better opportunity to get Jean drunk. However, given their present predicament, it seemed as though their plan was not going to work.

Wendy said with an embarrassed smile, "Look, they are already drunk. I'm afraid they can't drink any more. How about we just ... call it an end for today?"

"No way! You didn't even drink the last glass we poured for you." Jean smiled as she stood up and refilled their glasses with wine. She said, "This is the last bottle. There's no more wine left."

The three women looked at the full glasses and swallowed. They were struggling. However, the thought of not having to drink any more spurred them to finish. And so, they lifted their glasses, closed their eyes, and gulped down the alcohol.

Jean was thrilled and clapped her hands as she stepped out of the room. She loudly asked the waiter to serve two cases of beer.

Upon hearing that Jean had called for beer, the three women were shocked. They exchanged panicked glances before turning to Jean. She smiled triumphantly when she saw how miserable they looked.

"What's wrong?" she asked with feigned concern. "Was the wine too much? You've been so busy with your acting and schedules. I believe you have not relaxed for a long time. This is a good chance for you to enjoy yourselves. Don't waste such a good opportunity." Jean coaxed.

"But, beer will give us beer bellies. We have to stay slim." Zabrina shook her head and tried to explain.

Jean waved her hand dismissively. "You worry too much. As if a little beer will make you fat. Oh, wait, I just remembered that my husband is going to invest in a movie, but there's a small issue. The crew hasn't been able to find the perfect actress to play the leading role. Now that I have met the three of you, I must say, I think you are all perfect. It's just I don't know which of you should be picked for the movie ..." Jean bit her lip and turned to face Zed. She didn't want him to contradict her. And so she smiled at him hoping that Zed would understand. When Zed returned her smile, Jean relaxed.

Hearing that Zed was investing in a movie, the three actresses scrambled to say, "In this case, we should have fun together. Drinking beer doesn't have much to do with a beer belly. Jean, let's drink. I can drink a lot."

"Me too. Where is the beer? Waiter, hurry up ..."
