Chapter 69 Past Events

  Mei Hui went to provoke Nan Shao Long, but Nan Shao Long was not having it. Smiling, he said: "Sister Mei Hui, if you're going to drink, then finish the whole thing. What's the point of drinking if you don't finish it?"

  This remark made Murong Hui so angry that she really wanted to drink the wine in one breath, but was afraid of falling down after drinking. Ye Pingyu saw this and thought for a moment, this Nan Shaolong was obviously targeting him, now he didn't even give face to Murong Hui, if he backed down, it would be letting this kid get away with it.

  Thinking of this, he stood up again and said: "Dragon brother, my drinking capacity is still okay, otherwise I'll toast you a glass, let's drink first!"

  Ye Pingyu finished speaking and directly drank the whole cup of wine, shocking Feng Xiyao into a daze. Nan Shaolong also didn't expect Ye Pingyu to dare to take the initiative to drink with him. Looking at Ye Pingyu finishing his wine, Mu Meiying immediately said: "Ye Pingyu has finished drinking, what are you still stunned for, drink!"

  Someone was watching him, so Nan Shao Long couldn't pretend to be drunk and had no choice but to pick up his cup and drink it down. After drinking, he felt a bit of intoxication coming on.

  At this time, Nan Shaobo and You Zhongbing finished drinking their wine, then turned around to toast Ping Ruxue's wine. Ping Ruxue was not willing to drink with him, but out of politeness, she picked up the tea water and casually took a sip.

  Seeing Ping Ruxue like this, Nan Shaobo's heart was very unhappy. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Ruxue, why don't you have a drink? Champagne is fine too."

  Champagne can also make people drunk, Ping Yu Xue's face was icy as she said: "I don't drink alcohol, I'll just replace it with tea water. Come on, Ye Pingyu, let me toast you a glass of wine!"

  Ping Ruxue didn't give Nan Shaobo any face, turning to toast Ye Pingyu's wine instead. This made Nan Shaobo extremely angry, but he couldn't vent his anger. On the other side, Nan Shao Long was drinking with You Zhongbing. When Ye Pingyu saw Ping Ruxue raise her glass and smile at him, he didn't know what to say either, so he picked up a wine cup from the table and drank with her.

  Ping Ru Xue saw that Ye Ping Yu's cup of wine was relatively full, so she smiled and said: "You drink a little less, just take a sip, I'll finish the tea!"

  What he said was so tender that it made Nan Shao Bo extremely angry. Mu Mei Hui saw him like this and picked up her wine glass, saying: "Nan Ge, come on, I'll toast you!"

  Watching Mu Mei Hui bring over the wine, Nan Shao Bo was indignant but had no choice and could only drink with Mu Mei Hui.

  Feng Xi Yao sat beside them, seeing the intimate interaction between Ping Ruo Xue and Ye Ping Yu, which also made her feel surprised. This was someone she had brought along, but now it seemed like Ye Ping Yu and Ping Ruo Xue were classmates, while she was an outsider.

  After seeing Ping Yu and Ye Pingyu finish their wine, she smiled and went to toast Ping Yu, who naturally responded with a smile, drinking a little tea.

  Nan Shaolong and Nan Shaobo finished their wine, considering Ye Pingyu as an opponent. Since they didn't bring anyone else, the two of them personally took to the stage to drink with Ye Pingyu, determined to get him drunk.

  Youyi Zhibing called Ye Pingyu over, also implying that he should come and drink. Now seeing that there's no need for him to invite them, the two Nan brothers took the initiative to toast with Ye Pingyu, so it's not necessary to intervene anymore, let's see how much they can drink.

  Only Feng Xi Yao saw the two treating Ye Ping Yu like that, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. However, Ye Ping Yu seemed to not care how they came to find him to drink, with a determined thought in his mind to definitely get them drunk, he must make them lose.

  You Zhībīng immediately joined the fray after seeing that things were not going well, in order to alleviate some of the pressure on Yè Píngyǔ. When Péng Rúxuě and a few others saw these four big men competing in drinking, they no longer sat at the table, but instead went to one side to rest.

  After walking to one side, Mu Mei Hui observed the scene on the table, while Ping Ru Xue chatted with Feng Xi Yao and asked: "Xi Yao, is this Ye Ping Yu really your classmate?"

  Feng Xi Yao smiled and said, "Actually, he and I are not classmates, and we haven't known each other for a long time. My dad went to the countryside to join the commune when his grandfather and my dad were old acquaintances. This time is to bring his grandfather to visit my dad."

  As soon as she heard that, Mu Mei Hui immediately asked beside her: "Xi Yao, is he a native of Qingyun? A grassroots?"

  When Mu Mei Hui asked this, Ping Ru Xue turned her head and said to her: "What's wrong with the grassroots? Those great heroes in history were all from humble backgrounds, unlike some spoiled sons of wealthy families!"

  Seeing Ping Ruxue's unhappy face, Mu Mei Hui hurriedly smiled and said: "Ruxue, I didn't mean it that way, I was just asking."

  Feng Xi Yao said softly: "Anyway, his family is from a rural area, I've been to his house, they're very poor, but it's not just his family that's poor, all the families in the countryside are very poor. However, he's a good person, with a strong sense of justice and very kind-hearted. When I was at Qing Yun, I went out to eat and almost got robbed by some bad people, luckily he saved me!"

  "Robbery?" Mu Mei Hui's eyes widened immediately, with an expression of disbelief.

  Ping Ru Xue suddenly heard that Feng Xi Yao had gone through this kind of thing, and her thoughts flew back to the past. A few years ago, she had also encountered a robbery, but not in Qingyun, but in the provincial capital of Anning Province. At that time, it was Nan Shao Bo who took her there to play, because his old man was engaged in politics in the province.

  At that time, she had a good relationship with Nan Shao Bo, and the two families also had the intention of matching them together. Although Nan Shao Bo didn't look very good, the two families were equally matched and had known each other for generations, so it was possible to get married. She had a gentle temperament and originally agreed, but who knew that something happened when they arrived in Anning City.

  That day, she and Nan Shao Bo went out to play together, which should have been a very happy thing. They came to a park, where the two of them were admiring the scenery. As night began to fall, she thought about going back soon, but Nan Shao Bo held her hand and insisted on waiting a little longer before leaving.

  Ping Ruxue didn't want to be too intimate with him, thinking of leaving, but Nan Shao Bo still refused to let go. At this moment, two people suddenly appeared from the side, holding a shiny knife in their hands, and rushed to the front of the two, saying: "Robbery, hand over your money quickly!"

  Unexpectedly, they encountered a robbery in the park. Ping Ruxue and Nan Shaobo were both frightened out of their wits. Nan Shaobo didn't dare to resist at all, so he took out his money from his pocket and handed it over to the two robbers obediently.

  The two robbers, who were very timid at first, immediately had ulterior motives when they saw Ping Ruxue's beautiful appearance, and thought of taking her hostage to satisfy their lust.

  Nan Shaobo saw that the situation was not good, so he begged the two robbers to let them go, but the two robbers were unmoved, holding a knife to his neck and telling him to get out of there, or else he would lose his life.

  Nan Shao Bo was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound, Ping Ruxue looked at the hijacker coming over to pull her, and she quickly asked Nan Shao Bo for help. However, Nan Shao Bo didn't dare to come forward until Ping Ruxue was pulled away by two hijackers, then he ran to report to the police.

  Seeing Nan Shao Bo being so cowardly and not daring to come forward to save her, Ping Ruxue struggled constantly in the hands of the two robbers, her white clothes almost torn apart.

  Entering a small grove, the two robbers were about to succeed when suddenly a figure rushed over. Ping Ruyu didn't know who it was, only seeing a vague outline of a person running towards them and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the two robbers.

  The two robbers did not expect someone to come and rescue her, they both had knives in their hands, seeing someone approaching, they put down Ping Ruxue first to deal with the person who came to rescue her.

  That man saw two robbers let her go and shouted: "Don't you hurry up and run!"

  Ping Ru Xue's soul was still unsettled, and it wasn't until she heard the man's stern shout that she came to her senses. She hastily picked up the torn white skirt and ran far away, but as for what happened to the man in the end, she didn't know now either.

  After running out, the police also arrived after Nan Shao Bo called them. She couldn't help but burst into tears. Nan Shao Bo came over to comfort her, but she ignored him. This incident made her very disappointed. He didn't have any manly spirit at all and could actually abandon her and let the robbers take her away.

  After the incident, Ping Ruxue's family and Nan Shaobo's family were furious when they found out. They vowed to get to the bottom of it, no matter what it took. As a result, within less than a week, both robbers were caught and sentenced to life imprisonment. If they hadn't encountered those two people, they wouldn't have been punished so severely. However, they were unlucky enough to have kidnapped Ping Ruxue and robbed Nan Shaobo, and not being shot dead was already a good thing for them.

  Although the case was solved, Ping Ruxue still didn't know who had rescued her at first. At that time, she hadn't seen the person's face clearly either. Later on, after inquiring everywhere, she couldn't find him. This person seemed to be an unknown hero, saving her and then disappearing. However, he should not have been hurt back then; otherwise, it would have definitely been known afterwards. As long as there was no harm done, her heart felt at ease. Even if she couldn't find the person, in her heart, she still wished him well.

  After some thought, Ping Ruxue fell silent for a moment, sitting there watching the few people drinking at the table. When she cast her gaze on one person, it brought back memories of that person's figure from back then.

  It's just like that! In a daze, she felt it was him, but she didn't dare to imagine things would be so coincidental. Just now, she felt as if she had seen him somewhere before. Could a miracle really happen and let her find that person?

  "Xī Yáo, is that Ye Pingyu's family from Qingyun village in the countryside? Has he ever stayed in Anning City?" asked Ping Ruxue after thinking for a moment.

  Feng Xi Yao said: "I heard him say that he went to university in Anning Province, so he should have stayed there for a few years. Ru Xue sister, why are you asking this?"

  Ping Ruxue's thoughts sank again, but her mouth said: "No, nothing, I just casually asked, feeling like he was someone I knew before."

  "Really? Then I'll call him over and ask him." Feng Xiyao said immediately.

  Ping Ru Xue stopped her and said: "Don't be in a hurry, wait a moment, I'll ask her myself, you don't need to bother with this matter."
