Summer Kiss

Chapter 192 Drunk, Mistaken Identity

Jiang Yuning's pupils dilated inexplicably. She was stunned for a few seconds. How could this person be here?

This is incredible!
Even though they had only met once, she recognized him immediately when she saw him again; he seemed to be a friend of Fu Xicheng.

Ellis smiled broadly, his Western face radiating an elegant smile. "Miss Jiang, it's been a long time."

Jiang Yuning suddenly stood up and blurted out his name, "Ellis".

Ellis looked slightly surprised; he hadn't expected Jiang Yuning to remember his name.

After that brief meeting in London, he thought she had forgotten him.

The design director was stunned. Ellis was a prominent figure in London's design circle, and he never expected that Jiang Yuning would know this famous designer.

He asked, puzzled, "Mr. Ellis, do you know this designer Jiang?"

Ellis nodded and said calmly, "She's my best friend's girlfriend."

What seemed like a casual remark took the man in front of him to heart. The design director had to take it seriously, as Ellis had become one of his closest friends.

Then, Ellis added, "I just saw you and wanted to say hello. Please give my regards to Fu."

Jiang Yuning gave a soft "hmm".

After Ellis left, the design director and Jiang Yuning discussed matters related to the contract and design drafts.

Originally, because of Ellis's connection, Director Zhao wanted to pay special attention to her. During their conversation, he discovered that Jiang Yuning was like a rough gem. With such good material, he was considering poaching her to his company.

But considering that she was a designer for Huangtian Group, he gave up.

After some discussion, the design director stood up, extended his hand to shake hands with Jiang Yuning, and said, "Designer Jiang, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Jiang Yuning quickly stood up. "Director Zhao, it's a pleasure working with you."

"If Designer Jiang doesn't mind, let's have dinner together tonight and discuss the specific details."

Jiang Yuning nodded and agreed.

They agreed on a location and time, and Jiang Yuning returned to the company to revise the area circled by Director Zhao.

Now she just has to wait until tonight, and she'll be able to close the deal.

Jiang Yuning organized the client's information and set it aside, then began to focus on the next client.

Time flies, and soon it was time to leave work.

Jiang Yuning did not stay in the office, but instead took the documents and drove to the agreed location.

She arrived early, but the other party had not yet arrived by the agreed time.

She didn't wait long before Director Zhao from the design department arrived late with several of his subordinates.

They ate their meal while discussing the contents of the contract.

Director Zhao said, "Designer Jiang, look, we've already signed the contract. Let's have a drink and wish each other great success."

drink wine?

Jiang Yuning hesitated slightly; she didn't want to drink at all, since getting drunk could lead to trouble.

She politely declined, saying, "Director Zhao, I drove here and can't drink alcohol."

Director Zhao was taken aback; discussing business over drinks was a very common practice.

He didn't give up easily, and said with a smile, "There are many designated drivers now. Everyone here has been drinking, so how can they not go home? Designer Jiang, it would be a bit unreasonable if you didn't offer something in return."

Jiang Yuning glanced around and realized that everyone present was looking at her, so she couldn't very well refuse.

She raised her glass helplessly, "I have a very low alcohol tolerance, this is all I can drink."

Director Zhao nodded, "Just one drink, let's continue our conversation after that."

Jiang Yuning forced herself to drink the glass of wine. As the wine went down her throat, a mixture of spiciness and bitterness washed over her, and she frowned slightly. She waved her empty glass at Director Zhao.

Director Zhao smiled broadly and praised her repeatedly, "Designer Jiang is indeed a straightforward person. I'll contact you immediately if there's any cooperation in the future."

"Thank you very much, Director Zhao."

Not long after Jiang Yuning finished drinking, she felt the effects of the alcohol kicking in. She pinched her brow, feeling somewhat irritable.

When will this dinner finally end?

She was a little anxious.

Director Zhao, with his sharp eyes, seemed to notice the change in Jiang Yuning's expression. He said, "That's all for today, Designer Jiang. Do you need me to send someone to take you home?"

Despite the other party's good intentions, Jiang Yuning dared not easily trust him.

If he says one thing to her face and another behind her back, she will be the one who suffers.

She shook her head, politely declining his offer, "Thank you, Director Zhao, but I can go back by myself."

Jiang Yuning packed her handbag and the signed contract, then stood up to say goodbye.

She didn't hail a taxi immediately, but went to the restroom to wash her face before leaving.

She went to the bathroom and rinsed her face with water. In the mirror, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were unfocused. She realized that she absolutely could not go out like this.

She wanted to call Fu Xicheng, but remembering that he was currently in Kyoto, thousands of miles away, she put her phone back in her bag.

Jiang Yuning braced her hands on the sink and took a deep breath. What kind of drink did Director Zhao order? After drinking this glass, she felt like she was drunk.

She staggered out of the restroom, and as soon as she stepped out, she rubbed her eyes.

In a daze, she thought she saw her boyfriend.

What is Fu Xicheng doing here?

Without thinking twice, Jiang Yuning threw herself into the man's arms.

Because she was drunk, her voice was soft and sweet, "Fu Xicheng, I think I'm drunk."

The man frowned, looking at the drunk woman in his arms, and said in a cold voice, "Jiang Yuning, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Fu Xicheng."

Jiang Yuning's mind was in chaos. She looked up and saw that the man in front of her seemed to have countless overlapping images. Her intuition told her that the man was Fu Xicheng.

Jiang Yuning punched his shoulder hard, trusting her own judgment, "You're lying, you're my boyfriend."

Fu Tian came to Haicheng this time to investigate Fu Xicheng's previous activities in Haicheng.

Who would have thought that I would run into a drunk Jiang Yuning here tonight?

He tried to push her away, but found that he couldn't push her away no matter what he did.

Fu Tian frowned, trying to wake her up, "Jiang Yuning, open your eyes and see clearly who I am?"

Jiang Yuning punched Fu Tian's shoulder hard, complaining, "You're a bad person. If you don't admit it, I'll beat you to death."

In just two minutes, Fu Tian was punched several times by Jiang Yuning. He felt a surge of anger inside him, but he couldn't vent it.

He sighed and muttered two words under his breath, "Drunkard."

Jiang Yuning felt weak all over; drunk, she wanted to manipulate Fu Xicheng at will.

She had many demands of him.

"Fu Xicheng, I want a hug and to be lifted up high. You haven't lifted me up in so long."

Fu Tian scoffed mercilessly, "Naive."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yuning punched him twice.
