Forced Love: The Villainous Female Supporting Character is Kissed and Cried by the Yandere Villain

Xu Zhenghong straightened his collar, straightened his back, and continued acting, "Yes."

Now, Wen Fuzhou's face was completely drained of color.

Xu Wuning smiled and turned her head to look at Lu Jingci. She knew he was a saint and would help cover up the lie if he couldn't bear to see her being ridiculed, but she didn't expect this saint to directly confront Wen Fuzhou.

He is truly a promising young man.

Of everyone at the table, only Wen Fuzhou managed a strained smile, a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Jingci, Uncle was just joking. I'm overjoyed about you and Ningning, how could I..."

"Uncle Wen," Lu Jingci interrupted him for the second time, still in a gentle and amiable manner, "I've said it before, I don't like to joke, and I especially don't like to hear others joke. Of course, what I hate most is when people joke about my girlfriend."

Wen Fuzhou froze on the spot, completely unable to save face.

An older man nearby, being perceptive, quickly intervened and pulled him away, saying, "Zhenghong, Fuzhou is drunk and his mind is clouded. He's started talking nonsense. I'll take him home first. You stay here and keep your daughter and Jingci company."

Xu Zhenghong felt relieved after venting his anger, and casually waved his hand:

"You'd better take him away right now. He's always meddling in other people's business. He even follows me to the bathroom, insisting on coming to see me make a fool of myself. Now he'll behave himself, won't he?"

Xu Wuning thoughtfully added, "Yes, Uncle Wen, look at your dark circles. How long has it been since you slept well? Stop worrying about other people's family matters. If you've had too much to drink, go home and get some sleep."

"you……"

Wen Fuzhou pointed at the two of them with trembling fingers, and tried to speak, but his buddies covered his mouth and dragged him out.

Outside.

Wen Fuzhou slapped his thigh in anguish, "Junhua, why did you drag me into this? My cooperation with the Lu family is gone just like that! How could this be?!"

"Do you know how much money I invested in that project? No, absolutely not, I have to go back in..."

Zhang Junhua, Wen Fuzhou, and Xu Zhenghong were all university classmates. He was very clever in his dealings with people when he was young.

He reached out and stopped Wen Fuzhou, saying with exasperation, "Fuzhou, wake up! Can't you see that Jingci is standing up for the Xu family?"

"If you just humble yourself and beg Zheng Hong tomorrow, after all, he's an old classmate. Your cooperation might still be salvageable. Jing Ci can't possibly refuse to give Zheng Hong some face."

"It's been so many years, it's time you changed your temper. Ever since we were in school, you've liked to compare yourself to Zheng Hong. Don't you even realize how much better the Xu family is than ours?"

"If the Xu family and the Lu family, two top-tier families, were to form a marriage alliance, then our two families wouldn't even be worthy of carrying their shoes."

"If you back down and admit that Zheng Hong is better than you, out of consideration for our classmate relationship, we can close a few more deals later. That's called assessing the situation, don't you understand?"

"On the contrary, you're going against the Xu and Lu families. Are you trying to squander your father's entire fortune, Fuzhou!"

Wen Fuzhou hesitated for a moment, but didn't say a word.

Zhang Junhua knew he had taken it to heart. This guy was just stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, and he really spoke in a rude way. He hadn't done anything harmful, which was why Zhang Junhua was willing to give him some pointers. If others were that stupid, he wouldn't bother with them.

When Wen Fuzhou returned home, he received news that his son's project had been snatched away by a small company.

He didn't know if this was a warning from the Lu family or if he was really unlucky.

That night, he struggled with the contract and the future development of the Wen family, but still waited outside the Xu family villa for Xu Zhenghong to return.

……

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, after Wen Fuzhou left, another of Xu Zhenghong's old friends also went home first.

Xu Zhenghong was left sitting there alone, glaring at Xu Wuning and then at Lu Jingci.

"When did you two get together?" His voice was deep.

Xu Wuning quickly laughed it off, forcing a fawning smile: "Oh, Dad, don't be so serious. You're going to scare Lu Mianhua, aren't you, Lu Mianhua?"

Lu Jingci said gently, "...No, Uncle Xu is very protective of the younger generation."

Xu Zhenghong snorted, looking at Xu Wuning's grinning face, and coldly ordered, "What are you laughing at? Xu Wuning, you're coming back to the old house with me tonight, do you hear me?"

Xu Wuning immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Ah? I heard you, I heard you."

She lowered her eyes, her pupils darting around.

She knew her father's temper all too well; the more he pressed her for answers, the angrier he would get. If they were just sitting there being interrogated all night, she and Lu Jingci would be exhausted.

But what if we drink some alcohol?

Her father would go back to the old house and fall asleep as usual after his drinking party.

As for Lu Jingci, if he gets drunk, she can do whatever she wants to him tonight, it's the perfect opportunity to sleep with him.

Xu Wuning cleared her throat and smiled kindly:

"Dad, and Lu Mianhua, let's stop talking and have a few drinks. It feels like it's been a long time since you two have seen each other, so today is a good day to officially meet."

Lu Jingci immediately chimed in, his attitude respectful: "Alright, then I'll toast Uncle Xu a few times."

The thought of his daughter liking this brat so much made Xu Zhenghong feel inexplicably choked with anger.

"Alright, then let me see your drinking capacity," he said, putting his glass on the table and staring sharply at Lu Jingci. "Let me make this clear: I, Xu Zhenghong, have never looked down on people who can't hold their liquor."

Xu Wuning's eyes lit up, and she almost laughed out loud with satisfaction. She immediately went to find the manager, her voice beaming with joy: "Bring over a few bottles of good wine, and plenty!"

The wine was quickly served, and Xu Wuning grabbed the bottle before the waiter could and personally filled the bottles for the two of them.

"Uncle Xu, let me offer you my respects first." Lu Jingci bowed very low.

Xu Zhenghong didn't move. He leaned back in his chair and just watched Lu Jingci finish his drink.

"How old are you this year?" he asked.

Lu Jingci: "Like Ningning, twenty-three."

"Twenty-three." Xu Zhenghong repeated the number, his tone ambiguous, whether it was a sigh or a sneer. "When I was your age, I was much better than you. Back then, when I was working on projects, I would drink with the construction team and I could drink a lot in one sitting."

He paused, raised his eyelids, and looked at Lu Jingci with a deep gaze, "Your abilities are nothing to me."

Lu Jingci pursed his lips, did not refute, poured himself another full glass, and downed it in one gulp.

Xu Wuning seized the opportunity, smiling brightly: "That's right, Lu Mianhua, that's exactly it. Don't let your elders look down on you."

"And Dad, stop bragging and don't drink. Let the younger generation see your abilities."

Xu Zhenghong, his competitive spirit ignited, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Out of the corner of his eye, he observed how often Lu Jingci poured wine and the changes in his expression.

Xu Wuning sat to the side, resting her chin on her hand as she watched the two of them, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

Lu Jingci finished another glass of wine, looked at her, and asked, "Why are you suddenly so happy? What are you thinking about?"

Xu Wuning raised an eyebrow, resorting to sweet talk: "One is my beloved father, and the other is the man I love most. Of course I'm happy to have the three of us together."

She stood up and refilled their glasses: "Come on, drink up, let's celebrate our family reunion!"

The night sky outside the window was filled with twinkling stars, and the bright moonlight covered the entire city. The people in the rooftop restaurant gradually dispersed, leaving only their table.

After a few rounds of drinks, the two of them had drunk an unknown amount.

Lu Jingci's face turned red, the blush spreading from the tips of his ears to his neck, and he swayed slightly.

Xu Zhenghong wasn't much better off; his hand holding the wine glass was completely unsteady, and the wine spilled all over the table.

Xu Wuning rested her chin on her hand, lazily narrowed her eyes, and chuckled softly. This was the moment she had been waiting for.

Lu Jingci has no chance of escaping tonight...
