Chapter 171: “Then, You Must’ve Had To Sleep Your Way To The Top, Right?”
No one knew how much time had passed when a woman, who also looked dead drunk, stumbled into the park and clung to a utility pole, retching.
She dry-heaved as she vomited.
She seemed like someone with a story.
If it were the usual Jiang Shuyan—or just any regular person—seeing a scene like that, they would probably pretend not to notice, or maybe offer a tissue out of courtesy.
But drunk Jiang Shuyan probably only had an IQ of 9 left, so she did something a normal person wouldn’t even consider.
She suddenly crouched down and tiptoed to the woman who was puking. Just as the woman finally finished and stood up to wipe her mouth—
“AH!!!”
Jiang Shuyan sprang up with a huge roar, spreading her arms like claws, mimicking Sadako from “The Ring”.
Even though it was daytime, the park was practically empty. With the wind gently rustling the trees, the atmosphere was strangely eerie.
In this dim, deserted park, where there wasn’t a soul around, a disheveled woman suddenly appeared behind you, screamed like a banshee, and looked ready to eat you alive—
Anyone would’ve been scared witless!!
“Ahhhhhhh—A ghost! Ahhhhhhh—!”
The woman who had been vomiting screamed and almost collapsed into her own puke. At the last second, she managed to grab the pole to stop herself from falling.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” The next second, Sadako turned into a fool.
Watching the woman flail around in panic, Jiang Shuyan clutched her stomach, laughing wildly.
As if she were letting out all the frustration and grievances she had bottled up over the years.
“Hahaha!! What an idiot, there’s an idiot here.”
Jiang Shuyan kept holding her belly as she laughed and spoke.
Usually, only idiots call others idiots.
To repeat: drunk Jiang Shuyan probably had an IQ of 9—completely incapable of normal social interaction.
“Ah, what the—you’re not a ghost?”
The woman let out a breath and patted her chest.
“So you’re just a drunk woman… well, whatever. Seeing you like this, I’ll let it slide for now.”
She seemed surprisingly understanding.
She had probably been planning to settle the score with Jiang Shuyan, but upon seeing how utterly out of it she was, the woman just sighed and prepared to leave.
Jiang Shuyan was still laughing loudly, clearly still immersed in her prank.
“Though leaving you here alone doesn’t feel right… I have some stuff to do, so I won’t take you home. Someone should come pick you up.”
The woman who got scared seemed like a decent person after all.
But Jiang Shuyan gave no reaction at all. She just sat there on the ground, gazing at the woman with a vacant look, smiling foolishly.
The woman shook her head, didn’t bother anymore, and turned to leave.
Ten minutes later—
Jiang Shuyan hadn’t moved an inch, still sitting on the ground, grinning stupidly and mumbling things no one could understand.
The woman, who had clearly already left, suddenly came back into the park with a look of impatience. She walked up to Jiang Shuyan, squatted down, and patted her face.
“Hey hey hey, can you hear me?!”
Apparently, she couldn’t just leave someone drunk and alone in the park.
Under normal circumstances, someone who got scared like that would at least want revenge—but this woman had an unexpectedly good nature.
Jiang Shuyan, even while getting her face slapped lightly, wasn’t angry at all—still giggling foolishly.
“Hey hey hey, how much did you drink?! You—you’re a young woman, drinking like this alone—aren’t you afraid someone might abduct you?!”
The woman muttered to herself with a frown.
“Hey hey hey, can you hear me?!”
“Hic!”
Jiang Shuyan blinked bleary eyes and burped.
“Cough cough cough!” The woman choked. “God, were you drinking baijiu? Wait—no, there was also red wine! I thought it was beer, no wonder you’re so gone. It’s just hitting you now, huh?”
Baijiu doesn’t hit right away, but after a while, it knocks you out. Mixing drinks just makes things worse.
The woman pulled a bottle of Kang Shifu green tea out of her pocket—though not meant for sobering up, she unscrewed the cap and forced it into Jiang Shuyan’s mouth.
“Cough cough cough!”
No one knew how much she was forced to drink, but Jiang Shuyan finally blinked, coughed a few times, grabbed the same pole the woman had vomited on, and spewed out green tea and a bunch of baijiu.
Her head cleared a bit. Her IQ doubled from 9 to 18!
“What’s your name?” The woman asked again.
Jiang Shuyan blinked with a dazed look at the woman in front of her, who appeared to be in her late 30s or early 40s. She had no idea who this person was, where she came from, or what she wanted. Instinctively, she responded with a question:
“What’s your name?”
“Me?” The woman froze for a second, then instinctively replied, “Zhou Xinyuan.”
“Zhou Xinyuan?”
That name sounded so familiar. Jiang Shuyan’s brain twitched. An actress?
Where had she heard that before?
But with an IQ of only 18, Jiang Shuyan quickly gave up on trying to remember.
“And you?” The woman looked at the dazed Jiang Shuyan and continued asking.
“Hey, you’re a celebrity, right?”
Instead of answering, Jiang Shuyan asked another question.
“Huh?!”
Suddenly being questioned like this by a drunk person with such an arrogant tone, Zhou Xinyuan was a bit taken aback.
“Answer me—you’re a celebrity, an actress, right?!”
Jiang Shuyan burped, her tone sharp, like a CEO making demands of a junior employee.
After getting drunk, the aristocratic air she had once cultivated at home emerged.
It had been so long since she’d spoken to someone this way.
“Uh… yes.”
Whether out of instinct or being overwhelmed by Jiang Shuyan’s spoiled-rich-girl aura, Zhou Xinyuan answered without thinking.
Since her rise to fame, almost no one had dared to question her like that.
This drunken mess in front of her, who looked far younger, was the first.
“An… actrisssss, huh!” Jiang Shuyan slurred and waved her hand grandly, full of drunken bravado.
“Then you must’ve had to sleep your way to the top, right?”
In her drunken state, Jiang Shuyan had no idea how outrageous her words were.
That kind of question—no matter which celebrity you asked—it’d almost always end in disaster.
“Huh?!!!”
