After three rounds of wine, all three men are slightly drunk.


    Lastra was in high spirits, holding out sses for Severo Laris and Rufio to drink from: “Today without getting drunk!”.


    Rufio scoffed, “Lastra, I didn’t see you such a drinker before.”


    Lastraughed, “That was before, seven yearster, I, to survive, had to drink and socialize.”


    Severo Laris said, “The MO Group, has always saved a suitable position for you, so if you’re interested, you cane.”


    Lastra joked, “Professor Laris, can you pay me whatever I want?”


    “Okay. Don’t go over market rate, I can live with it.”


    Lastra held out his hand and pointed, “Slick old man. I’m not asking for much, a sry of two hundred thousand dors a year above my presentpany would be enough.”


    Severo Laris was quick to say, “Add half a million, youe over here and work for me.”


    Lastra took a sip of his wine and nearly choked, “Are you sure you want to raise my sry another half a million a year?” Professor Laris, even though you may be rich now, I’m no slouch, I was making a million a year as CFO at my previouspany.


    “I know, I’ve had my eye on you.”


    Severo Laris was always confident in Lastra’s ability, and when the three of them founded aw firm together in college, Lastra, though not awyer, managed the firm’s ounts and events for them.


    The days of spilling blood together in the trenches are truly missed.


    Now that Rufio has a family business to inherit, it’s only natural that he can’t join Severo Laris and Lastra in throwing his weight around.


    But the Sheng family ofpanies, and the imperial branch of the MO Group, also have business contacts, tainted with each other, and the other party is good to work with.


    Lastra picked up his ss, clinked it with Severo Laris’ and said cheerfully, “Deal!”.


    Rufio clinked his ss again, “Take me, take me one.”


    Lastraughed, “The Iron Triangle, reunited! Only this guy Rufio betrayed me and the old forest.”Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Rufio said, “I’m the one with a business to inherit in my family, okay? If I had been a barefoot runner like you two, I would have been there to fight with you, but our old man is getting old now after all, and I’m not able to do many things, and they need me to take care of the business.”


    Lastra: “You two are getting rich, you need to pay more attention to me, after all I don’t even have a wife, I just bought a house in Imperial and I still have a high mortgage, you need to help me.”


    Rufio patted Lastra on the back and said, “If you work for Lin, will Lin treat you badly, isn’t two million a year enough to pay the mortgage?”


    “It’s already enough for a wife.” Lastra took a ss of wine and drank it all.


    Pa Rouco, although seated to the side, kept quiet and ate her food, but envied, from the bottom of her heart, this battle and undying friendship between the boys.


    At first, the friendship between the three was evident to her.


    Severo Laris is lucky to have friends like Rufio and Lastra who will never leave him alone.


    …


    After drinking.


    Susana takes Rufio’s money clip and goes outside to check out at the front desk.


    Severo Laris helped Rufio to go to the bathroom.


    Lastra, a little drunk, reached out and put her hand on Pa Rouco’s shoulder and sighed, “Paulita, I really didn’t think you were going to end up breaking up with Lao Lin even though you chased him to S City in the first ce, it’s a pity you two are reallypatible!”


    Pa Rouco was confused, “S City? Lastra, what do you mean, I don’t understand.”


    “Huh? Didn’t you ask that partner of yours, what’s her name… she seems to be Zhou, no? she seems to be Zhou, right? Did you ask her to call me and ask me where Lao Lin had gone? I sent her all the numbers of the hotel rooms where Lao Lin was staying in S City on a business trip, and didn’t you end up going to S City to look for Lao Lin?”


    Pa Rouco’s watery eyes quivered, “You mean Buena used my name and asked you for the address of Severo Laris’ hotel?”


    “Yes, don’t you know? Old Lin came back from S City and I didn’t dare mention it again when I saw you had broken uppletely. I was afraid of upsetting him. And, after all, it’s between the two of you, so it’s not very nice of me to say so. Come to think of it, it’s still a shame, Paulita. Old Lin is really a dead-eyed person, and it’s hard to change when you like someone. Are you really not going to think about it anymore?”


    Pa Rouco sat, swallowing saliva, her hands under the table, slowly cooling down.


    So, seven years ago, it was Buena who used her name to inquire about lodging at Severo Laris’ hotel in S, which led to …


    For a while, in my heart, I had mixed and fermented feelings, not knowing if it was sour or painful.


    Soon Susana returned from the box and Severo Laris and Rufio returned from the bathroom.


    Susana lifted Rufio and scolded him, “Drinking like that, shit, old Lin unzipped your pants, didn’t he?”.


    The corner of Rufio’s mouth twitched, “Am I that useless?”.


    Pa Rouco sat in her original position, as if she couldn’t hear all that chatter, and sank back for a long while.


    Until, Severo Laris leaned over, his thin lips with the faint scent of wine pressed against them, and said, “lita, we’re leaving.”


    Pa Rouco stood up abruptly and looked directly at Severo Laris.


    For a moment, she took Severo Laris by surprise.


    In particr, Severo Laris was taken aback.


    The moment he stood up, he almost collided with Severo Laris.


    Severo Laris saw that she was a little off and thought something was wrong, and he became concerned, frowning slightly and asking, “What’s the matter, don’t you feel well?”


    Pa Rouco gave him a long look and finally shook her head, “No,e on.”


    So, even if it was a misunderstanding, the video was real and the baby was gone.


    It was useless for her to insist on that.


    Because, whether or not those things are true, it is true that the child is gone.


    Out of the big posts.


    Rufio yed dead and leaned on Susana, drunk they said, “That’s it, I’m drunk and I don’t feel well, I’m going back to Susana first, that, Paulita, please take Lastra and old Lin home!”


    Pa Rouco didn’t think much of it and nodded, “Fine.”


    When Susana and Rufio left, Pa Rouco drove, Lastray down in the back seat and Severo Laris sat in the passenger seat.


    It was a Severo Laris car, Pa Rouco had never driven it and was not very familiar with some of the small operations.


    Severo Laris stretches out his long, thin arms and patiently teaches.


    As Pa Rouco drove down the road, Severo Laris leaned over the passenger side, never taking his eyes off her.


    When she drove, she was very serious, as if she was not very skilled.


    But Severo Laris was not afraid of her skills, for her life, which was already firmly in his hands, could have been taken any time she wanted.


    It’s just that she’s such a bad driver that it’s better not to allow her to drive in the future.


    Severo Laris is a little drunk, trying to get drunk, with one hand, resting on the back of his neck, eyes closed and in a good mood.


    Pa Rouco drove Lastra home first, and then sent Severo Laris home.


    She asked, “Where does your family live?”


    Today, Severo Laris is at his home in Imperial, unknown to Pa Rouco.


    She thought it would be time to move to a bigger house.


    Severo Laris looked at her, with a slight smile hidden between his eyebrows, and said, “Imperial District, please take me.”


    When he finished, the man closed his eyes as if he were sleeping.


    “…”


    In fact, he knows Imperial quite well, even after seven years.


    Perhaps because of the memory of the city at first, so impressed by Severus Laris, he was able to drive to the Imperial quarter without even following the navigation.
