Chapter 1266 - 809: Bullshit Self-Punishment with Three Cups (Part 3)

Zhang Shiping just quietly stared at Ma, until Ma's Throat kept swallowing nonstop.

"Ma, we've dealt with each other for quite a while. This time I'm choosing to believe you." Zhang Shiping said calmly, "But don't say I didn't give you a chance. This girl is my Niece, my actual Niece.

And your people have already gotten so arrogant they want to ruin my Niece's face and get some drunk to drive a Car and kill her.

That really makes me angry."

When Zhang Shiping said the word "angry," his eyes couldn't help turning cold.

And Ma suddenly understood everything.

Without waiting for Mr. Ma to speak, Zhang Shiping went on, "I'll give you Half an hour, after that the offer expires.

Alright, you can go out now."

Mr. Ma secretly glanced at Du Xuejing, then looked again at Du Heng.

Just from their faces you could tell Zhang Shiping was lying—this Girl in front of them should be a relative of the man next to her who hadn't said a word.

But now he couldn't figure out this man's relationship with Zhang Shiping, and he was insanely nervous inside.

After Mr. Ma left, Zhang Shiping's smile once again turned warm. "Little Niece, don't worry about this, I'll definitely handle it to your satisfaction.

You just sit here and relax, eat when you should, drink when you should, I'll take care of everything."

Du Xuejing first glanced at Du Heng, then hurriedly stood up, bowed to Zhang Shiping, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr, Zhang, sorry to trouble you."

Zhang Shiping smacked his lips, looked at Du Heng and said, "Look at that, look at that, such a well‑behaved, adorable girl, and she actually got bullied. Where's the justice in that?"

As he spoke he turned to Du Xuejing again, "Don't worry, as long as Mr, Zhang is here, I'll definitely get you justice today."

After another round of thanks, they finally returned to the earlier clinking-glasses atmosphere, but Director Zhao no longer had his earlier composure, which made the mood turn a bit strange.

After about ten minutes like this, the door of the private room was knocked on again, and they saw Mr. Ma, who had gone out just now, come back in.

Behind him followed Director Xue, half of whose face was swollen.

"Director Zhang, I'm really sorry, I've already asked clearly, it was all stupid things done by the people under me."

Mr. Ma's attitude was very sincere. "It was my failure in discipline that let these people become so arrogant."

After speaking he glared directly at Director Xue behind him and barked sharply, "What are you dazing out for, hurry up and apologize to Director Zhang."

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry." Director Xue was very obedient, immediately lowering her head and bending at the waist.

But Zhang Shiping didn't say a single word, just kept picking at the dishes and eating on his own.

Seeing this, Ma hurriedly said, "Apologize to Du, look at the mess you caused."

Director Xue glanced at Du Xuejing, her eyes flickering slightly, then lowered her head again and apologized very earnestly.

Du Xuejing didn't know what to do, and could only look to Du Heng for help.

But Du Heng also kept his head down, just eating.

With no other choice, Du Xuejing could only shift her gaze to Zhang Shiping, and Zhang Shiping likewise just ate without saying anything.

Right then, Gu Qinghong, who was sitting next to Du Xuejing, smiled and picked up some food for her. "Here, Tingting, try this dish. I just had a bite, it's soft and glutinous and really tasty."

Then, without caring whether Du Xuejing agreed or not, she directly took her hand, insisting that she taste it.

Mr. Ma's eyes had been on Du Xuejing the whole time. Seeing this, he quietly nudged Director Xue.

Director Xue instantly got the message and copied the same move Mr. Ma had made when he first came in.

"Tingting, it's my fault. I was too eager for quick success and spoke without thinking. What I said before was just shooting my mouth off, don't take it seriously."

As she spoke, she raised the wine dispenser in hand. "Tingting, I'm sincerely apologizing to you. I'll punish myself with three cups to show my sincerity."

She then went to down all the liquor in the wine dispenser in one go.

"Wait."

Hm?

Everyone turned to look at Du Heng.

Du Heng finally put down the chopsticks In hand, his gaze coldly fixed on Director Xue.

Director Xue was a bit dumbfounded. She didn't know Du Heng, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

Du Heng looked at her a few times, then asked softly, "This is your apology?"

Director Xue stared blankly and nodded.

"Self‑punishing three cups, my ass." Du Heng let out a cold laugh. "This bottle of mine costs 200,000 yuan. You chug three cups in A breath and the whole bottle is gone. Tell me, is this you apologizing, or just here to freeload a drink?"

200,000 yuan?

Everyone present, except for Zhang Shiping and Gu Qinghong and Mr. Ma, all looked at Du Heng differently.

Zhang Shiping had looked into Du Heng and knew about his family background, and since this time he was the one asking for a favor, he wasn't surprised at all that the wine was this expensive.

As for Gu Qinghong, she didn't care at all—let alone 200,000 yuan, even 20 million had nothing to do with her.

As for Du Xuejing, she just felt distressed. She realized that because of her, her Little Uncle had spent so much money, and she was already starting to regret telling Du Heng.

Lastly there was Director Zhao. Not only was he shocked, his Heart also sank a little.

Wine at 200,000 yuan a bottle—this wasn't just the price of the wine; this was Du Heng stating his attitude toward this whole matter.

Song Shiping, you're basically done for.

Director Zhao let out a quiet sigh.

Mr. Ma had already recognized it. He'd thought it was just a bill-splitting dinner, so he hadn't paid attention and had gone straight in and drunk it.

But Director Xue was dumbfounded; she had no idea what to do.

Mr. Ma glanced at Du Heng, then turned to Director Xue. "What are you standing there for? This all started because you couldn't keep your mouth in check, and you still don't know what to do?"
