Chapter 249

"Teacher He Xi, I'd like to propose a toast to you!"

In the hotel, Meng Huo had a headache.

After toasting tomato and Huameng, editors and cartoonists turned their attention to him and began toasting him.

"Well, can I have a drink instead of..."

Meng Huo said awkwardly with a glass of orange juice. Just now, the two teachers of Huameng responded in this way. He's not yet an adult, and theoretically should be banned from drinking, and he's hated drinking since his last life - because he's drunk.

"No orange juice!"

"Teacher He Xi, don't be so mean."

"That's right, man. I've been drinking Erguotou since I was 16 years old!"

"Teacher He Xi, you are not cheerful enough! Today, teacher tomato is having a wedding. Everyone is so happy. How can you say without two drinks? "

As long as the Chinese people are at the dinner table, there is a phenomenon that they love to persuade people to drink. No matter they are familiar or unfamiliar, wine is an eternal topic at the dinner table. Sometimes if you don't drink it, it will spoil the fun of others.

Meng Huo sighed. He must drink it today.

"Then..." but just as he was about to speak, a tall figure came in. Alice, who had been eating at another table, stood beside Meng Huo. She said with a smile, "well, don't bully Mr. He Xi. How about I drink this wine for him?"

"Good!"

The cartoonists got excited.

"Aibian is generous enough, but I don't know how much to drink!"

"Come on, let's do it first."

The scene changed, and the goal of the toast shifted to Alice, which made Meng Huo dumbfounded.

Sometimes he really didn't know whether the Chinese people were warm or indifferent. They would try their best to persuade a person to drink, but they would gladly accept it when someone took the drink. This feeling is not like a passion for people, but like the pursuit of wine atmosphere.

But anyway, Meng Huo got away with it. Alice has been playing in the entertainment circle for so many years, so there should be no need to worry about her drinking capacity.

During the excitement, Meng Huo chatted with Ye Xiong, who was sitting beside him: "when I talk about the editor in chief, the editors don't talk about it. Why are all cartoonists so enthusiastic about me today?"

"Not because of your pirate king." Ye Xiong smiles and looks up at the toasting cartoonists. He says in a low voice: "many teachers aim at the assistant position of the pirate king. After a while, it will be a shock for you to choose an assistant."

The painting style of the pirate king is special, but according to the Convention, Meng Huo will look for new assistants sooner or later. For this reason, many cartoonists of Phoenix company vied to imitate the painting style of "the pirate king" and wanted to win the chance to be selected by Meng Huo. The wedding banquet was an opportunity, and they all wanted to show their face in front of Meng Huo.

"I see..."

Meng Huo understood. It seems that tomato and Xi Wenlin have already talked about the advantages of being his assistant, otherwise these cartoonists would not be so active.

He saw that several cartoonists had their own serial comics. According to common sense, they would not be willing to put down their positions. However, Meng Huo's assistant could earn more money, which made everyone excited.

A few meters away, Shen Jie sits with some women.

She watched Alice stand beside Meng Huo and help him drink. She pursed her mouth and said discontentedly, "I can drink, too."

"You don't go." Li Qin quickly grabbed her: "what kind of wine does a 16-year-old girl drink?"

Now she can see through some of Shen Jie's ideas. She can do everything in order to show herself in front of Meng Huo. If she doesn't hold her, she may run to drink in the next second.

"Isn't Alice drunk..."

Holding Shen Jie in one hand, Li Qin looked at Alice with some worry. After more than ten minutes, Alice came back blushing.

"How much did you drink?"

Li Qin asked anxiously.

"Not much..."

Alice smiles. She looks normal. Li Qin is relieved to finish the meal together.

After the wedding banquet, several people did not dare to let Alice drive after drinking, so they asked Sun Yang to take them back. Sun Yang was one of the few editors who didn't drink. When he saw the red Porsche, his eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.

"Teacher He Xi, sit down."

Meng Huo sits in the second seat, and the other three women sit in the back. Sun Yang excitedly starts the car.

When he first came into contact with such a luxury car, he was a little excited. At the beginning, he was quite active, but after driving for a while, the car slowly stabilized. Meng Huo and Sun Yang chatted, and the three women behind him began to be very quiet, but soon aroused the topic."I said Sister Qin." It was Alice sitting in the middle, squinting her eyes, lying on her back and whispering, "are you happy now?"

Li Qin was startled by this question, and some of them were unable to laugh or cry: "how can you suddenly say such words?"

"I just want to know..."

Alice put her hand on her forehead, and there was something in her heart that she wanted to say.

In fact, she drank a lot of wine at the wedding banquet, and now the wine gas came up, which made her some uncontrollable: "sister Qin, you don't have a husband, and you raise Meng Huo by yourself. Are you so happy?"

Li Qin found that her sister was a little drunk. If she changed to Alice, she would not ask this question in the car.

"Well, I'm very happy..."

Li Qin sighed. She had been doubting since a long time ago that Alice's family life must be very bad. Today her question is completely exposed.

"Is she going to divorce her husband?"

The thought flashed through her mind, and Li Qin answered Alice's words.

"Alice, who said that a woman would have a husband to support her, as long as she had a goal in life..." she said, "I think she can be happy whether her husband or her children are alone. I brought up Meng Huo. It used to be very hard, but seeing him now... "

Li Qin looks at Meng Huo, who is chatting in the front seat, and a doting flashed in his eyes. He doesn't seem to hear the conversation behind him. Li Qin laughs.

"I feel very happy."

Her laughter made Alice feel a little sad. She looked down and found the hands of the woman beside her who had never been cared by her husband. The hands were full of scars and cocoons, which were the traces of suffering accumulated over the years.

Alice vaguely remembers that when she first saw the mother and son, Li Qin's face was wrinkled and her temples were white. But now, after suffering——

In addition to her hands, Li Qin can see the traces of the past, but she is getting younger and younger in other aspects.

"Happy?"

Alice turned her head to look at Meng Huo, and her eyes flashed envy. She envied that Li Qin had no husband, but she could give birth to such an excellent child.

"You're right, sister Qin..."

She laughed and felt as if some knot in her heart had been untied.

"Who says women depend on their husbands?"

Alice's voice made Shen Jie listen to it. She turned her head and looked at it. She didn't understand the topic of the two older women, but she thought they were both idiots.

She murmured: "I just want Meng Huo..." she said
