Chapter 137 Ice

Chapter 137 Ice

Ning Zhe could calmly say all kinds of sweet words to the sisters Zhang Hanying and Zhang Yunwen, and he could tell all kinds of dirty jokes at will. He also flirted with Zhang Yangxu's mistress during a meeting, and after the meeting he had to coax his angry wife.

To put it in a roundabout way, he can be considered a veteran in the world of women, but at this moment Ning Zhe seemed particularly at a loss.

Because the person that this girl named Chen Yaming loves is not Yu Ziqian, nor Zhang Yangxu, but Ning Zhe. Yes, that pure and innocent Ning Zhe who has never been in love.

"What's going on..." Ning Zhe looked up at the sky, which was gloomy.

Today was an abstract day for him. After leaving Chen Yaming's house, Ning Zhe first went to find the house rented by his grandparents next to the bathroom. Before he even entered the door, he saw the wrinkled smiling faces of the two old people, their faces full of relief that their grandson had finally become wise. If the college entrance examination had not been approaching, the old couple would probably have started urging him to have a baby.

The atmosphere in Gubei Town is relatively... well, not relatively, but very, very feudal. Many girls of the same age as Chen Yaming have already become mothers, while Chen Yaming is still in her second year of high school.

High school students are naturally not yet at the legal marriage age of 20, so it is very common in Gubei Town to get a marriage certificate after having a child, so much so that normal marriages with normal love, marriage, and having children have become a minority anomaly here.

If you think your hometown is not good, then go and build it. Ning Zhe thought Gubei Town was very good and perfect, so perfect that it did not need his construction, so he decided to run it.

But before Run can do that, he has to take care of the two elderly people in his family until they die of old age.

After talking with his grandparents about Chen Yaming, Ning Zhe spent the night in the house rented by the old couple.

Old people are always nostalgic, so they moved all the things from the old house here, filling the small room up. The books Ning Zhe had bought before were neatly stacked in the closet, piled high like a wall.

The next morning, while the family of three was still having breakfast, Chen Yaming's father brought her to visit.

Boss Chen came with two bottles of wine, one white and one red, while Chen Yaming came with two packs of cigarettes. Before they even stepped over the threshold, they were addressed as relative-in-law.

Grandma hurriedly brought chairs for the father and daughter, and signaled Ning Zhe to move and sit next to Chen Yaming.

Boss Chen came to talk to my grandfather about their future engagement. He was anxious to confirm the relationship between his daughter and Ning Zhe, lest the cooked duck fly away. My grandfather was anxious to finalize the marriage, lest his grandson's newly awakened mind become closed again. The two of them talked very happily and hit it off immediately. They couldn't wait to have the wedding the day after the college entrance examination, but regretted that that day was not an auspicious day.

As the conversation became more animated, Boss Chen asked Chen Yaming to open the bottle of white wine he brought and pour a glass for each man present. Later, he learned that Ning Zhe's grandmother also drank, so he poured a glass for her as well.

While Chen Yaming was opening the wine, Boss Chen introduced that this was the foreign wine that he had specially asked his brother-in-law to bring back from Yanzhou Port yesterday, and it was not available through ordinary channels.

"No, Uncle Chen, I don't drink." Ning Zhe raised his hand to block the mouth of the bottle in Chen Yaming's hand and shook his head to refuse.

"Haha, I almost forgot, Ah Zhe, you don't smoke or drink. These things are harmful to your health. It's good not to touch them." Boss Chen was not annoyed. He knew Ning Zhe's character. If he hadn't watched Ning Zhe grow up, he would not have entrusted his daughter to him so easily even if the other party was rich. Boss Chen didn't care, but grandpa was not happy. It was the first day for the in-laws to visit, and they came with their daughter and gifts. How could he lose face at the table?
"Azhe, your uncle Chen is so kind, how can you let him down?" Grandpa said, opening another bottle of red wine brought by Boss Chen, and poured it for Ning Zhe without saying anything: "Here, the wine is low in alcohol, drink a little, don't spoil your uncle Chen's fun."

Ning Zhe couldn't refuse, so he had to pick up the cup.

"That's right." Grandpa smiled happily and drank the white wine in his glass:

"It's good for young people not to drink. Cigarettes and alcohol are not good things, but when you really get to that kind of occasion, you still have to drink. You can't lose face for others... Studying is a personal matter, but Azhe, when you enter the society in the future, you will still have to deal with interpersonal relationships. There is no harm in learning these things..."

The liquor that Boss Chen brought was very strong in alcohol content, and after two glasses of liquor, my grandfather felt a little flushed.

Ning Zhe agreed repeatedly and reluctantly brought the wine glass to his lips. Just as he was about to take a sip, he suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong? Can't drink it? Don't force yourself..." Chen Yaming's eyes have never left Ning Zhe's face since she entered the door. She noticed the abnormality of his reaction at the first time and looked concerned.

Ning Zhe shook his head, put the wine glass close to his nose, and took a deep sniff. He needed to confirm it again.

The wine that Boss Chen brought was indeed good wine, and even judging by Zhang Yangxu's experience, it did not seem out of place. However, the rich aroma of the agate red wine, in addition to the fruity and oak flavors, was also mixed with a subtle strange smell.

Ning Zhe had never smelled this smell before, but Liu Hongzhi was very familiar with it. This addicted gambler had been lingering in the filthy quagmire of the bottom of society for many years, and had been involved in pornography, gambling and drugs.

And now the aroma emanating from the wine was mixed with a very subtle taste, which was the one Liu Hongzhi had smelled before...

ice.

"Stop drinking." Ning Zhe threw the wine glass in his hand onto the table, slammed the table and stood up to grab the cups in grandpa and grandma's hands, but his reaction was still too late and his movements were still slow.

Before Ning Zhe could stand up straight, his grandfather, who had just drunk two glasses of white wine, began to tremble all over and collapsed on the table with convulsions. Fine white foam came out of the corners of his mouth and he was unconscious.

Grandma drank less, only half a glass, but her condition was still not much better. Her whole face turned red and purple, her eyes rolled back, and she fell to the ground with a clang along with the chair under her.

Ning Zhe hurriedly supported his grandfather who had collapsed on the table. He looked sideways and saw that Boss Chen's face was also flushed. However, due to his youth and strength and the fact that he had just been busy talking and had only drunk a small sip of wine, he did not faint on the spot like Ning Zhe's grandparents. However, he was still in a state of excessive excitement. The blood vessels on his forehead bulged, his breathing became heavy and turbid, and his eyes were dull and a little unfocused.

"Call 120!" Ning Zhe yelled at Chen Yaming, "Something happened! Call 120!"

Ning Zhe's mind was in a mess. What was going on? Why was there ice in the wine that Boss Chen brought?
