"Teacher He Xi, I offer you a toast!"

In the hotel, Meng Huo encountered a headache.

After Tomato and Huameng toasted, the editors and cartoonists turned their attention to him and began to toast him.

"This, can I use a drink instead..."

Holding a glass of orange juice, Meng Huo said in embarrassment, that's how Teacher Hua Meng and the two of them dealt with it just now. He is not yet of age, so in theory he should be forbidden to drink, and he has hated drinking since his last life-because he will get drunk.

"No orange juice!"

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

"That's right, manly man, I've been drinking Erguotou since I was sixteen!"

"Mr. He Xi, you are not cheerful enough! Teacher Tomato has a happy event today, everyone is so happy, how can you get by if you don't drink two cups?"

As long as Chinese people are at the dinner table, there is a phenomenon that they love to persuade people to drink. Whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, wine is an eternal topic at the dinner table. Sometimes you will disappoint others if you don’t drink it.

Meng Huo sighed, he had to drink today.

"Then..." But just as he was about to speak, a tall figure stepped in. Alice, who was eating at another table, stood beside Meng Huo. She smiled and said, "Okay, don't bully Mr. He Xi. How about I drink it for him?"

"it is good!"

The cartoonists were excited.

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

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

The scene changed, and the target of the toast was shifted to Alice, which left Meng Huo dumbfounded.

Sometimes he really doesn't know whether the Huaxia people are enthusiastic or indifferent. They will desperately persuade a person to drink, but will gladly accept it when someone else drinks. It doesn't feel like a passion for people. Instead, it seems to be pursuing the atmosphere of wine.

But anyway, Meng Huo escaped a difficult situation. Alice has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so she shouldn't have to worry about drinking.

When there was excitement nearby, Meng Huo chatted with Ye Xiong who was sitting next to him: "I said the editor-in-chief,

The editors will not talk about it, why are all cartoonists so enthusiastic about me today? "

"It's not because of your "One Piece"." Ye Xiong smiled and looked up at the toasting cartoonists. He whispered: "Many teachers are aiming at the assistant position of "One Piece". After a while, it will be a shock when you choose an assistant."

"One Piece" has a special style of painting, but according to the usual practice, Meng Huo will find a new assistant sooner or later. For this reason, many cartoonists of the Phoenix Company rushed to imitate the painting style of "One Piece", hoping to win the chance to be selected by Meng Huo. And this wedding banquet is an opportunity, they all want to show their shame in front of Meng Huo.

"I see……"

Meng Huo understood. It seemed that Tomato and Xi Wenlin had already explained the benefits of being his assistants, otherwise these cartoonists would not be so active.

He saw that several cartoonists had their own serial comics, and normally, they would not be willing to put down their bodies and come here. But being Meng Huo's assistant can earn more, the news made everyone's heart flutter.

A few meters away, Shen Jie sat at a table with some women.

She watched Alice standing beside Meng Huo helping him drink, pouted her mouth, and said dissatisfiedly, "I can drink very well, too."

"Don't go." Li Qin hurriedly stopped her: "What kind of wine does a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl drink!"

Now she can see through some of Shen Jie's thoughts. She would do anything to show off in front of Meng Huo, as long as she didn't stop her. Maybe he will run over to drink in the next second.

"Alice won't be drunk..."

Holding Shen Jie with one hand, Li Qin looked at Alice worriedly. After ten minutes, Alice came back with a flushed face.

"How much did you drink?"

Li Qin asked worriedly.

"not much……"

Alice smiled. She looked normal, so Li Qin felt relieved and finished the meal together.

After the wedding banquet, none of them dared to let the drunk Alice drive, so they asked Sun Yang to take them back. Sun Yang was one of the few editors who did not drink. His eyes lit up when he saw the red Porsche, and he immediately agreed.

"Teacher He Xi, please sit down."

Meng Huo sat in the passenger seat, the other three women sat in the back, and Sun Yang drove the car excitedly.

The first time he came into contact with this kind of luxury car, he was a little excited. At the beginning, he moved a lot, but after driving for a while, the car gradually stabilized. Meng Huo chatted with Sun Yang, and the three women behind were very quiet at first, but It quickly became a topic.

"I'm talking about Sister Qin." Alice, who was sitting in the middle, raised the topic. She squinted her eyes and lay her head on her back, asking in a low voice, "Are you happy now?"

Li Qin was taken aback by this question, a little dumbfounded: "Why do you say such things suddenly?"

"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 that the smell of alcohol came up, she couldn't control her mouth: "Sister Qin, you don't have a husband, and you raised Meng Huo by yourself, are you so happy?"

Li Qin found that this younger sister was a little drunk. If it was the usual Alice, she probably wouldn't have asked this question in the car.

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

Li Qin sighed. She had suspected for a long time that Alice's family life must be very poor, and her questioning today completely exposed it.

"Is she going to divorce her husband?"

With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Qin answered Alice's words.

"Alice, who said that a woman must have a husband to support her, as long as she has a goal in life..." She said, "Whether it's a husband or a child, as long as they are not alone, I think they can be happy. I put Meng Huo Pulling big, it was very hard before, but seeing him now..."

Li Qin looked at Meng Huo who was chatting in the front seat, and a look of doting flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't hear the conversation behind, Li Qin laughed.

"I feel very happy."

Her laughter made Alice a little sad. She lowered her head and found the hands of the woman next to her who had never had her husband care about her. Those hands were full of scars and calluses, which were the traces of suffering accumulated over the years.

Alice vaguely remembered the first time she saw the mother and son, Li Qin's face was wrinkled, and her temples were a little white, but now, after suffering——

Li Qin can still see the traces of the past except in his hands, but he is getting younger and younger in other aspects.

"Are you happy?"

Alice turned her head to look at Meng Huo, with envy flashing in her eyes. She envied Li Qin for having such an outstanding child despite having no husband.

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

She laughed, feeling as if a knot in her heart had been untied.

"Who says a woman has to rely on her husband!"

Alice's voice caught Shen Jie's ears, and she turned her head to look, not understanding what the two older women were talking about, but she felt that they were both stupid.

She muttered, "I just want Meng Huo..."
