Xia Wan'er panicked immediately. While patting He Xianrou on the back, she anxiously explained, "Oh my God, I took the wrong glass. That was the wine I just poured for myself. I didn't take a new glass to save trouble. I poured it directly into my juice glass. I'm sorry, senior sister, I didn't mean to do that. I was in a hurry and didn't notice it."
He Xianrou had never drunk such a strong liquor before, and she coughed for a long time and couldn't recover.
"Xia Wan'er! You obviously did it on purpose. Why would you pour wine if you don't drink?!" Hu Xuanling slammed the table again, rushed over, pushed her away, and patted He Xianrou on the back.
Xia Wan'er didn't expect that even though she was so skinny, his hands were still so strong that he pushed her into a warm embrace.
Feeling herself surrounded by the faint mint scent from Qiao Mingye, her ears turned red instantly.
"I'm sorry." She apologized in a low voice and stood up helplessly with the help of the table.
Qiao Mingye lowered his eyes and glanced at his empty arms, then turned away expressionlessly without saying a word.
The room was so small that Xia Wan'er stood beside him and explained calmly, "When I first came here, I toasted Teacher Shangguan and drank this wine. And I poured the wine before Senior Sister He. It's not possible that I guessed that Senior Sister He would come over here to toast Senior Brother Qiao, and then predicted that Senior Sister He would be weak all over because of a glass of beer, so I replaced my glass in advance and took the opportunity to pass it to her, right? Senior Sister He and I have never met before, I didn't know she was so weak, and I couldn't guess that she would come over to me to toast Senior Brother Qiao."
After hearing Xia Wan'er's words, everyone realized that there was indeed only this cup left in front of her seat.
On the other hand, Qiao Mingye next to her had an empty wine glass in front of him that looked unused, but he was also drinking from the wine glass.
If someone looks carefully, they can see that the edge of the wine glass next to him seems to have a little mark that looks like lipstick.
This careful person was none other than Miao Miao, who had been constantly supporting Hu Xuanling.
After realizing the shocking news, she froze in place, lowered her head, and did not dare to respond to the hint from Hu Xuanling's eyes.
There was nothing wrong with what Xia Wan'er said, and Hu Xuanling simply couldn't find any words to retort her.
Gu Yue hurriedly stood up to help check on He Xianrou's condition, while defending Xia Wan'er, "Yes, Teacher Xia is not a fortune teller, how can he know so much."
Shangguan Qiao also belatedly chimed in, "Yes, this must be a misunderstanding."
Seeing that Hu Xuanling was losing, He Xianrou quickly grabbed her hand and shook her head weakly, saying, "Sister Ling, it's okay. I'm just weak and can't handle a little bit of alcohol. You can't blame others."
As she spoke, she swayed her body again, looking like she might fall down at any moment.
If He Xianrou continued to hold on to it at this time, people would think she was making things difficult for them. But when she said this, it could make others feel distressed.
As expected, Wu Yang was afraid of another accident, so he nodded and asked, "Yes, it's better to go and take a look. See if anyone has a car to take you there."
Gu Yue responded immediately: "How about I take you there, Mr. He? I haven't drunk alcohol. Although I'm a female driver, I drive pretty well."
"Will this be too much trouble for everyone?" Having said that, He Xianrou still looked in the direction of Qiao Mingye with great anticipation.
Hu Xuanling immediately understood what he meant and said to Qiao Mingye, "Teacher Qiao, Sister He is doing this just to toast you. Can you take her to the hospital?"
