Zong Ze couldn't come back, leaving one less person to drink with.
Su Yang continued to look for someone to drink with and dialed Shi Wuzun's number.
"Brother Shi, where are you lately?"
"Hey, I'm still overseas. I definitely can't make it back for New Year's Eve."
Shi Wuzun's voice was loud, and the sound of the wind and waves was also loud.
Su Yang was speechless. "Why is everyone on a mission? It seems no one will drink with me."
"Hahaha, don't worry, I'll come back to Songhai to find you in a few days. My mission here is almost over."
A burst of wild laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Alright, I'll have good wine ready for your triumphant return!"
"It's a deal!"
They chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up.
Su Yang looked up at the ceiling, calculating that he had invited almost everyone.
Besides family, it was the close confidantes around him.
At most, there were only enough people for two tables for New Year's Eve dinner.
At this moment, Jiang Wanying walked over and said, "Brother Yang, my brother brought people."
"Oh? I'll go see."
Su Yang walked outside the villa. Jiang Hei and the Lu Qi and Lu Yi brothers were all there.
Wanbao Zhai and Century Company, among others, were on holiday, so these people had nothing to do.
"Heizi, it's cold outside. Come in, all of you!!"
"Okay."
The men rubbed their hands, their breath misting in the cold.
"Where did those five go?"
"Boss, I've already arranged for them to guard the prisoners in the basement of the amusement park."
Su Yang nodded. Yuan Kui and the other five were not suitable to show themselves yet.
Shangguan Yi's people were currently looking for Yuan Kui and the others, wanting to kill the five D-class prisoners.
"Right, those women shouldn't be starved either. Remember to arrange for someone to deliver meals."
Su Yang hadn't forgotten. Duan Yujiao and the women from Sangguo were still locked up in the basement of the amusement park.
Thinking of the Duan family, Su Yang hesitated, wondering whether to call Duan Linglong and the others.
On one side were his women, and on the other were their sisters.
If they really met, it would likely be awkward for everyone.
Lu Qi said softly, "Boss, in my opinion, why not release Duan Xiao Si? After all, your relationship with the Duan family is extremely good, and you'll be family sooner or later.
Releasing her would be a favor, and I believe the eldest young lady will be very grateful to you."
Su Yang thought it made sense. Keeping Duan Yujiao locked up indefinitely was not a solution.
"You guys sit here and wait for dinner. I'll go alone."
"Okay, boss."
Su Yang picked up his car keys and headed to the amusement park.
...
Meanwhile.
Duan Family Villa.
Duan Linglong, who rarely came home, had also returned. The Antiquities Association had also temporarily closed.
Duan Linglong looked at her five younger sisters, silent. She was facing a problem similar to Su Yang's.
On one side was her man, and on the other were her sisters.
Her sisters had caused trouble repeatedly, so it was no wonder Su Yang was angry.
At this moment, the six sisters sat together, each with their own thoughts.
Strangely, no one brought up Duan Yujiao, nor did anyone plead for her.
Duan Linglong sighed. Thinking that tomorrow was New Year's Eve, she didn't want everyone to be unhappy.
"Let's eat, don't wait."
Duan Wanjun glanced at the empty seat, which was Duan Yujiao's usual spot.
The vacant seat looked a bit desolate.
Duan Xiaoqi absentmindedly chewed on a piece of roast meat. "Eldest sister, second sister, should we invite Brother Su to our house tomorrow night?"
Duan Linglong and Duan Wanjun remained silent. The third sister, Duan Yuting, said, "That guy has a lot of women at home to accompany him. Does he have time to come to our house?"
"Exactly, exactly..."
Duan Wu and Duan Liu quickly nodded. Su Yang was notoriously popular with women and a busy man.
Just then, someone walked quickly from outside the door.
"Who's talking bad about me behind my back again?"
The person who arrived was Su Yang, with Duan Yujiao behind him.
"Brother Su!"
"Fourth sister..."
Seeing the two, the Duan sisters were both surprised and delighted.
Su Yang was not polite and sat down casually between Duan Linglong and Duan Wanjun.
"Linglong, Wanjun, long time no see. Have you missed me?"
"Eat quickly. Who has time to miss you?"
Duan Linglong glared at him and casually put some dishes on his plate.
Duan Wanjun smiled slightly and served Su Yang a large basin of white rice.
"So much..."
Su Yang's face turned green. That basin was meant for serving dishes, and Duan Wanjun had used it to fill his drink.
"Eat more. You've lost weight. And be moderate tonight, don't overwork yourself."
Su Yang chuckled softly. "Second sister, do you want to help me relax tonight?"
"Eat your food. Don't always think about those messy things."
Duan Wanjun's legs trembled uncontrollably at the thought of what happened before, and she almost fell off her seat.
Duan Wanjun shook her head and then turned her attention to Duan Yujiao.
Duan Yujiao had been locked up in the basement for over a month. Now she was swaying and dazed.
Just hearing Su Yang's voice made her shiver and her teeth chatter.
No matter how her sisters comforted her, she remained unresponsive.
Duan Yuting picked up a roasted chicken wing and twirled it in front of her.
Duan Yujiao finally came around, reached out, grabbed the chicken wing, and started gnawing on it.
She ate it ravenously without any regard for her image, finishing the chicken wing in just a few seconds.
The Duan sisters were stunned. The former Duan Yujiao was very image-conscious and would never have eaten with her hands.
Duan Xiaoqi shrunk her head. "Brother Su, did you abuse my fourth sister?"
Su Yang looked innocent. "Your fourth sister provoked the women from Sangguo earlier and was suppressed by them. Don't blame me."
The Duan sisters then remembered that the women from Sangguo were also locked up with Duan Yujiao.
Duan Linglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Let her eat slowly. She's not a child anymore. She needs to think about the consequences before acting!"
"Okay, eldest sister."
Everyone ate and drank, leaving Duan Yujiao to eat by herself.
Su Yang ate his meal heartily, while the beauties on either side kept putting food on his plate and pouring him drinks.
Looking at the scene, they seemed to want him to eat his fill for the night's arrangements.
"Are you two feeding a pig? How will I sleep tonight?"
"If you can't sleep, count sheep. Since you're here, you should eat more!"
Duan Wanjun said with a soft laugh, pouring cup after cup of wine.
Su Yang drank the wine as if it were plain water, gulping down several large cups.
Only after he finished a large jar of wine did he finish the basin of white rice.
Su Yang remembered the important matter and said, "You should all come to my place for a reunion dinner tomorrow night!"
"Brother Su, do you have any special arrangements?"
Duan Xiaoqi asked excitedly. Even if Su Yang hadn't invited her, she would have found an excuse to go.
"There will naturally be arrangements. You'll know tomorrow night."
Su Yang kept them in suspense, causing everyone to roll their eyes.
"Since everyone has eaten their fill, let's clear the table!"
Duan Linglong waved her hand, and the Duan family servants began to clear the table and bring out tea and pastries.
