"May 1st, where exactly are we going?"
Since getting in the car, Mai Sui held back from asking, but seeing it getting more desolate and pitch black all around, she’d never seen such a desolate place.
"What’s wrong, afraid I’ll sell you? Don’t worry, an old girl doesn’t fetch much."
"You’re such a jibber-jabber!" Mai Sui leaned down to scrutinize the side profile of May 1st, who was driving, "I’m not really afraid. You’re prettier than me. Anyone with eyes would choose you first."
Beside her, Zuo Xinyi pinched her sister-in-law’s hand. This little ancestor really thinks he’s a kitten. Better not make him mad or he might actually drop you off halfway.
May 1st heard this and chuckled nonchalantly.
Liu Yi reminded from the side, "Second Sister, try to look more and speak less later, put up some airs."
"Can I not go?"
"Too late."
As they talked, the car turned a corner...
Looking ahead, the previously desolate and dark outskirts now showed far-off lights.
As they got closer, Mai Sui could finally see through the car window that not twenty meters away, the brightly lit spot was a two-story small building.
Seeing the car stop, someone immediately ran over from the doorway, "Third Young Master, everyone is waiting for you all."
May 1st nodded indifferently, tossing the car keys, and with one hand in his pocket, he walked inside first.
Just off the car, Liu Yi rolled his eyes to the sky in exasperation, pushed the stunned Mai Sui, and the group followed closely behind into the front door.
Just upon entering, a heavy metal tune blasted, and under the lights, Mai Sui immediately realized this place was quite a surprise; the outside of this villa seemed very ordinary, but inside it was definitely jaw-dropping.
In the hall, many young men and women held cups, shaking their wine glasses while laughing, each wearing watches and looking glamorous.
Her little cousin, indifferent as ever, waved at everyone like a leader facing a group of subordinates, with a nonchalant expression.
"Third Young Master, Brother Dong and Sister Bei have been waiting upstairs for a long time."
May 1st nodded to many who wanted to greet him along the way, leading his group upstairs.
Just upstairs, a man happened to walk over, "May 1st, I thought you weren’t coming. Was thinking about going to check at the intersection."
May 1st shrugged, "Got delayed by something, by the way, Big Dong, where are they all? Weren’t we promised some fun tonight? Don’t trick me, I don’t see anything fun here."
The man called Big Dong smiled, "Don’t worry, waiting for you three brothers."
Then he glanced at the unfamiliar three, smiling, "Brother, Liu Yi, who are they?"
Ping’an glanced at him, "My brother Zhang Minglei, you can call him Brother Shitou. Beside him is Zuo Li’s cousin, my sister-in-law Zuo Xinyi; beside Liu Yi is my second sister Zhang Miao."
"I’ve heard that brat Zuo Li brag about you, nice to meet you, I’m Dong Hao."
"Big Dong, stop dawdling, come in quickly."
A voice scolding startled Dong Hao, and he whispered, "Sister Xiao Bei is too intimidating. Brother, she just downed two bottles of white wine."
Mai Sui burst into laughter—this person seemed older than her brother yet kept calling him "brother," truly peculiar.
In the innermost room of the second floor, opening the door revealed around ten young men and women inside, including Zuo Li and his brothers, many greeted them.
Among them, a beautiful woman in her twenties approached with a cup in one hand and a bottle in the other, "Shitou, long time no see!"
Zhang Minglei smiled at her, "Mo Xiaobei, you haven’t changed a bit."
Mo Xiaobei laughed charmingly, "I’ve grown old; since the last meetup it’s the first time seeing everyone. This is your wife, right? Congratulations on settling down."
"Thank you, this is my wife, Zuo Xinyi." Zhang Minglei replied, explaining softly to his wife, "We met during the last family gathering at my uncle’s for New Year."
