After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 429 Drunk
Chi Yu made no attempt to hide her relationship with Shen Yanzhi from others. Soon after the banquet began, everyone knew that he was her boyfriend.

The Su family relatives were all sitting together, and the three tables nearby were all occupied by their own people. Seeing Chi Yu and Shen Yanzhi sitting together, everyone couldn't help but joke around with the two of them.

Su Junan, Su Jiamu, and others even brought over wine glasses, indicating that they wanted to have a drink with their future brother-in-law.

The last time Shen Yanzhi was mistaken for Chi Yu's boyfriend, the Liang family relatives tried to get him drunk, but Su Chengyan accidentally stopped them. This time, realizing that Shen Yanzhi was a wolf in sheep's clothing, Su Chengyan remained calm and collected, sitting in his seat and not stopping everyone from enthusiastically trying to get him drunk.

Su Zhengye watched this scene with a smile, clearly pleased to see Shen Yanzhi being tested.

Chi Yu knew that Shen Yanzhi didn't drink. Back when she was still a tech enthusiast, she would go out with Shen Yanzhi for business dinners. At the dinner table, Shen Yanzhi rarely drank alcohol; he would only take a few sips during the meal.

If Su Jun'an and the others are toasting like this now, one glass is more than Shen Yanzhi drank in a single business dinner before.

Not to mention, behind Su Jun'an, there were other brothers who had come to join in the fun, each with a drink in hand.

Chi Yu smiled, intending to help Shen Yanzhi defuse the situation with a joke. However, Shen Yanzhi noticed her expression and seemed to guess what she was going to say. He slid his hand off the table and took Chi Yu's hand, his warm, dry palm covering the back of Chi Yu's hand, offering silent comfort.

Before Chi Yu could react, Shen Yanzhi had already quickly released her.

With his slender fingers, Shen Yanzhi picked up the wine glass on the table, stood up, and smiled. After clinking glasses with Su Junan, he immediately raised his hand and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing his bold and forthright actions, Su Jun'an and the others felt a surge of joy.
"it is good!"

"awesome!"

"Come, come, brother-in-law, it's our first meeting, let me toast you too!"

"..."

Chi Yu raised her hand to her forehead. These people were actually calling him brother-in-law.

It seems a bit too intimate.

However, Shen Yanzhi did not seem to think so. His already barely suppressed smile turned up even more after hearing this address.

Because of this title, Shen Yanzhi accepted almost every offer of service.

Only after Su Jun'an and the others returned to their table did Su Chengyan, who had been watching the commotion, slowly pour himself a glass of wine and hand it to Shen Yanzhi: "Come on, future brother-in-law, shouldn't we have a drink too?"

Shen Yanzhi still had a faint smile on his face, and his whole demeanor was gentle and harmless, which was completely different from his sharp and aloof demeanor in the capital.

Upon hearing Su Chengyan's voice, his dark eyes darted around, and he stared intently at Su Chengyan for a long while before finally speaking: "Brother Yan."

His slow reaction clearly indicated that he was somewhat drunk.

Su Chengyan nodded slightly and filled Shen Yanzhi's empty wine glass: "Come on, cheers."

Both of them raised their hands and drank it all in one gulp.

Before Chi Yu could even breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Su Chengyan pick up the wine bottle and refill the empty wine glasses that he and Shen Yanzhi had left behind.

Su Chengyan and Shen Yanzhi said, "Come, let me toast you again."

Chi Yu: "..."

She wanted to offer some advice, but Su Chengyan's actions were clearly a test for her against Shen Yanzhi.

Chi Yu could only watch the two of them drink.

Su Chengyan only withdrew his hand after drinking three cups of wine.

Shen Yanzhi, who had been composed, became flushed after drinking, his once fair face now tinged with a faint blush, his dark eyes glazed over. When Chi Yu spoke to him, he simply stared at her, only responding after a long pause, his reactions slower than usual. Seeing this, Su's mother couldn't help but say, "This...this isn't drunk, is it?"

"Possibly." Chi Yu nodded helplessly: "He doesn't usually drink."

I didn't expect them to be so easy to talk to this time.

Mother Su had obviously thought of this as well. Given Shen Yanzhi's previous status and position, there weren't many people who could force him to drink. But today, he was being forced to drink one cup after another before all the dishes had even been served.

Mother Su had always liked Shen Yanzhi's character and looks, and now that she saw him willing to humble himself for Chi Yu, she was even more satisfied with him.

Even when Shen Yanzhi was drunk, he maintained a proper posture with his back straight.

Hearing what Su's mother and Chi Yu said, he reacted a beat slow and turned his head, replying seriously, "I'm not drunk yet."

"Mmm, you're not drunk," Chi Yu nodded, leaning towards Shen Yanzhi, pointing to the dazzling array of dishes on the table, and asked him, "The dishes are almost all served, which one do you want to eat? Do you want me to get you a bowl of soup?"

Shen Yanzhi's ears were red and his head was a little dizzy, but he was clear-headed: "I can do it myself."

After saying that, he actually picked up a bowl and served himself soup.

Chi Yu watched him serve soup and pick up food for herself with steady movements, and glanced at Shen Yanzhi's red ears with some curiosity, wondering if he was really drunk or not.

The hotel served the food very quickly, and everyone ate their rice very quickly as well.

About ten minutes after all the dishes were served, some people started getting up and leaving their seats.

In the blink of an eye, most of the guests had left.

After putting down his chopsticks, Shen Yanzhi sat motionless in his seat, only turning his head to look at Chi Yu with his dark eyes fixed on her.

Everyone was in such a hurry to offer toasts that they drank them down quickly.

As the effects of the alcohol gradually took hold, Su's mother noticed that Shen Yanzhi was somewhat drunk and hurriedly asked Chi Yu, "Where is he staying tonight? Have arrangements been made?"

Shen Yanzhi's appearance was truly sudden. Not only Su's mother, but even Chi Yu was unaware of how Shen Yanzhi had arranged things.

She reached out and poked Shen Yanzhi's arm, asking in a low voice, "Did you just come from Beijing? Did you bring any luggage?"

Almost the instant he was poked, Shen Yanzhi grabbed Chi Yu's fingers and held them tightly in his hand. "I came here directly after returning from abroad. I had my luggage delivered to my room by the hotel reception."

Thinking of the things in his suitcase, Shen Yanzhi smiled slightly and whispered to Chi Yu, "I brought you a gift, do you want to go see it?"

"You came straight here after coming back from abroad?" Chi Yu asked, somewhat surprised. "Which hotel? It's not this one we're eating at now, is it?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded, confirming Chi Yu's guess.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a room key, and handed it to Chi Yu.

Chi Yu took the room key and saw that the hotel's name and logo were clearly printed on it.

Chi Yu turned and told Su's mother that Shen Yanzhi had rushed to Shuoxi as soon as he returned to the country. Upon hearing this, Su's mother seemed to have already guessed it, and her expression was not surprised at all. Instead, she smiled and asked Chi Yu and Su Chengyan to take Shen Yanzhi back to his room to rest.

“Yanzhi came all the way back from abroad, he must be tired. Chengyan, you and Muyang help Yuyu take Yanzhi back to his room.”

　I felt like I was losing control of the pace, so I went over the outline.
