As she drank the second bottle, Hu Niang's face turned slightly red.
After finishing the last bottle, she was instantly tipsy. Estimating she could no longer stand steadily, she quickly grabbed the table with her hands and then sat down on the chair.
Everyone present was stunned!
"Hu Niang's alcohol tolerance is truly astonishing! Coupled with the three bottles she drank earlier, she consumed a total of six bottles of strong liquor. A normal person would have been dead by now!"
"Hu Niang is simply an invincible god of alcohol!"
"This kid is definitely going to lose this time!"
The crowd murmured amongst themselves.
No one was optimistic about Jiang Yi anymore.
Jiang Yi, however, started to smile.
Earlier, Jiang Yi hadn't been entirely confident because he felt Hu Niang could continue drinking. After all, someone of her build typically had an extraordinary alcohol tolerance.
Now, Jiang Yi's confidence had grown even stronger!
Hu Niang was practically about to collapse!
He only needed to drink four more bottles to easily defeat Hu Niang.
"How much more can you drink?" Young Master Chou asked Jiang Yi.
"You'll find out soon enough!"
Jiang Yi grinned.
Seeing Jiang Yi's confidence, Young Master Chou felt a sense of relief.
However, Young Master Chou still felt a bit uneasy.
He knew Jiang Yi had used some methods to boost his alcohol tolerance, but this was strong liquor. Most people would pass out after just one or two bottles. Drinking another four was something very few could accomplish.
"You're definitely going to lose this time!"
Hu Niang, with a face flushed red, said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi grinned.
"I won't lose! I overestimated your alcohol tolerance earlier. You're already like this, and I only need to drink four more bottles to easily beat you," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Hu Niang burst into laughter again.
"You're too conceited. This is strong liquor, not water! I can drink a full six bottles, but you'll probably collapse after one more!" Hu Niang stated with certainty.
Jiang Yi didn't waste any words. He directly picked up a bottle and began to drink.
Soon, everyone's expressions changed!
They watched as Jiang Yi downed bottle after bottle of strong liquor.
After finishing the third bottle, everyone present became unsettled!
Even Hu Niang's expression changed!
After Jiang Yi finished drinking, there was no discernible change in his demeanor. He showed no signs of intoxication at all.
Compared to Jiang Yi, Hu Niang seemed far inferior. After drinking, Hu Niang had already been unsteady on her feet and starting to show signs of drunkenness.
The outcome was already clear!
"I'll drink one more bottle!"
Jiang Yi declared and picked up another bottle, drinking it down.
After finishing, Jiang Yi grinned and his gaze fell upon Hu Niang. He said, "Miss Hu, including what I drank earlier, I've now consumed a total of seven bottles of strong liquor, while you've only had six. If you feel you can continue drinking, then let's proceed."
"I will not lose!"
Hu Niang's face was filled with defiance.
Then, Hu Niang picked up another bottle and started drinking.
She had barely finished half of it when she vomited on the spot, gagging for a full three minutes, as if she were about to expel her heart!
"I lost!"
Hu Niang took a deep breath. "I never expected to encounter a monster like you. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."
Hu Niang could barely stay seated!
Young Master Chou grinned.
Jiang Yi had won this time, and his objective was finally achieved!
"Miss Hu, you haven't forgotten our bet, have you? We agreed that if I found a drinking expert who could beat you, you would become my woman," Young Master Chou said to Hu Niang with a gentle smile.
"I agree to be your woman, but for now, I need to rest. Come find me again tomorrow!"
As soon as Hu Niang finished speaking, her body slumped towards the ground.
Seeing this, the surrounding waiters rushed over to help Hu Niang. However, their strength was insufficient to support Hu Niang's weight, and all three waiters were pinned to the ground by her.
The other waiters saw this and rushed over to help.
A total of five or six people were needed to barely lift Hu Niang from the ground.
By then, Hu Niang was already completely drunk and snoring loudly.
"Young Master Chou, let's go!"
Jiang Yi said to Young Master Chou. "Hu Niang is in no state to see you now. Let's head back and come again tomorrow. She's already agreed, and with so many people witnessing it, she won't go back on her word."
"Alright!"
Young Master Chou reluctantly left the bar!
Once outside, Jiang Yi started to vomit.
Although Jiang Yi had used some methods, he had still consumed seven bottles of strong liquor, and the alcohol was starting to overwhelm him.
After retching for a long time, Jiang Yi finally stopped.
If it weren't for the need to gain Young Master Chou's trust, he wouldn't have put himself through this ordeal.
The feeling was truly agonizing!
"Jiang Yi, you've helped me immensely this time. From now on, I appoint you as the manager of our Wanhui Company. Continue to follow me!" Young Master Chou said to Jiang Yi.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Yi exhaled.
"I'm heading back now. Come to the bar to find me tomorrow!"
After saying this, Young Master Chou drove away.
Jiang Yi also returned to the villa.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Li Ping.
"Where have you been? You smell all over of alcohol!" Li Ping asked Jiang Yi with a frown.
"I went to the bar to handle some matters!" Jiang Yi replied.
"If you were handling matters, why did you drink so much? You're a doctor; you should know that drinking too much is bad for your health!" Li Ping said, sounding a little angry.
In reality, Li Ping was worried about Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi wanted to speak, but his head suddenly felt dizzy.
Finally, Jiang Yi's vision went black, and he fainted.
When he woke up, it was already the next morning. Jiang Yi glanced around and realized he was lying on his bed.
As soon as Jiang Yi got out of bed, he looked up and saw Li Ping standing by the window.
"Mom, why are you in my room?" Jiang Yi asked.
"You drank too much yesterday and slept all the way until now. I was worried about you, so I came to check!" Li Ping turned to look at Jiang Yi and said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi remembered!
He had drunk a lot yesterday for Young Master Chou to win against Hu Niang, and he had been unconscious after returning.
"Xiao Xin has left!"
Li Ping suddenly said.
Li Ping's face was filled with worry.
"It's alright, Xiao Xin is your biological daughter; she'll still come to see you," Jiang Yi said.
"That's not what I'm worried about!"
Li Ping frowned and said, "All these years, she and I have been in the capital, but I've never visited her once, nor have I fulfilled my duty as a mother. She might not say it, but she must hate me very much in her heart."
"You're overthinking it," Jiang Yi comforted her.
"There's also something else!"
Li Ping said, "Xiao Xin has her own family, and perhaps she won't be with us together anymore. This is what I worry about the most."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi didn't know what to say.
What his mother said wasn't unreasonable.
