Get Me Few More Bottles

"Haha, '09 Lafite and '82 Lafite are very similar so they are the top-sellers in the market. Besides, the price is reasonable and the taste is marvelously pure too!" Taizao added.

"Oh I see, Jianwen bro isn't half bad huh? Treating us one of the best wines in the world!" Yushu nodded and faced Mengyao, "Right, Yaoyao sis?"

Yushu's words gratified Jianwen's vanity! Yushu hadn't praised him in all these years, and today she finally lent him a helping hand by praising him in front of Mengyao. He was delighted!

"Haha, this is nothing. If Yaoyao and Shu love it, I can order more for you guys." Jianwen waved his hand and said faintly.

"Yeah, I wonder what's the taste of the '82 Lafite. Yaoyao sis, are you interested?" Yushu turned her gaze to Mengyao suddenly.

"..." Mengyao was depressed, but looking at Yushu's play made her happy. She wanted to laugh at her silly sister. This girl made a big performance just to have a taste of the '82 Lafite!

Jianwen's face blanched. He didn't expect Yushu to say this. Was she joking? '82 Lafite? This wine could be sold for over one hundred and fifty thousand in the market while the Starlight hotel was selling it for the price of three hundred thousand. He felt like his kidney was aching.

"Jianwen bro, Yaoyao sis, wanna try '82 Lafite too? We didn't have the privilege to try it last time. Can you please get us a few bottles?" Yushu had performed this trick on Pinliang countless times, so it was a piece of cake to her.

Few? His kidneys were hurting! Jianwen almost fainted. Three hundred thousand for a bottle was equivalent to one kidney. Some kidneys couldn't even fetch such good prices! Yushu thought that she was a filthy rich? Did she think that earning money was as easy as saying the ABC's?

While the cops were doing their jobs, Jianwen's business was going downhill. He couldn't target the farmers with the cops investigating that area. He hadn't gotten two kidneys this week, and this dinner had already cost him a few kidneys!

Jianwen wanted to shoot Taizao. He shot a deathly glare towards him. This Taizao didn't know when to shut his big mouth. Thanks to him, Yushu had learned about '82 Lafite.

However, he couldn't throw tantrums on the spot, could he? He was hitting on Mengyao after all. He had to keep all his anger and emotions in check to show how generous he was. Especially when Yushu said that Mengyao was interested too. There was no way he could reject that request.

"Excuse me, get me two '82 Lafite!" Jianwen endured the pain as he ordered the wine.

"Two? I think 2 isn't enough for all of us…. Yaoyao sis and I both get one bottle, and how about you guys?" with one sentence, Yushu took both bottles for themselves.

"I think it's enough…. We aren't drinking that anymore, though it was our favorite, I'm ordering that just for you two….." Jianwen wanted to cry, two bottles weren't enough? They weren't expecting him to sell his kidneys, were they?

House An was rich, but their business was separated in half between the heir. They had to divide their earnings for the house and Firewolf gang as well. So, there weren't much left for Jianwen himself. Initially, the meal cost tens of thousands but now that they'd ordered the '82 Lafite, it cost hundreds of thousands. It tore a big hole in his wallet.

Yutian was still wondering how Lin Yi become Mengyao's and Shu's follower? His sister was still cunning as ever. No ordinary person could handle her, but that wasn't enough to make Lin Yi her follower. Just what was going on?

With his strength, he could very much protect any powerful figure. So why was he protecting the girls? Yutian wanted to ask so many questions, but Lin Yi didn't want him to touch on his background so he refrained himself from doing so.

Despite all that, nothing could stop Yutian's passion from respecting and admiring Lin Yi! Lin Yi was the one who made the Yutian today. Without Lin Yi, he couldn't even reach this power!

After a short while, two '82 Lafite were served on the table. Lin Yi took a quick glance at the wine, checking the brand and label. It was probably a real deal. Although there were a lot of rip-offs in the market, with Starlight hotel's reputation and power, they wouldn't probably serve a fake to their customers. After all, even the genuine '82 Lafite was sold at double the price in the market. He believed that the wine on the table was probably original.

"Yaoyao sis, let's drink one bottle first and leave the another for the next day, okay?" Yushu felt like it would be a waste to drink here. She may as well bring one back home and have Shield bro make some food for them to go with the wine. A candlelit dinner with Yaoyao sis and Shield bro. How romantic!

"Suit yourself." Mengyao didn't care about what she was drinking. All she wanted was to get drunk and forget all her unhappiness and discomfort.

Jianwen almost jumped up from his chair. Bringing it back home? Why didn't Yushu say that earlier? He could've bought the wine in the store the next day. It would cost him less hundred and fifty thousand, half a kidney!

But, Jianwen couldn't bring himself to say that out loud. Losing face was the last thing he wanted Mengyao to see, so he endured it.

Thinking about the upcoming event, confessing his love to Mengyao with everyone drunk, put him at ease. If his confession was a success today, then the hundreds of thousands he spent for this dinner would be worth every penny!

And so, Jianwen continued his act. He poured wine for others while drinking down the wine himself. He had to make it as natural as possible. Since he was capable of drinking, he didn't control the amount he drank, and he believed that the red wine wouldn't make him drunk.

Seeing Taizao give toast after toast for everyone with his stupid reasons. Jianwen's rage towards him was reduced. At least the guy was smart enough to help him out when he needed!

Yutian didn't act natural for the whole dinner. He was restricted by himself because of Lin Yi's presence. He couldn't help but look at Lin Yi at times. However, Lin Yi was calm as always, sitting there and observing the exchange, not giving anything away.

But, Yutian felt that like there was an immense pressure exerting on him. He couldn't get himself over it. However, Jianwen and Taizao didn't notice the unnaturalness from Yutian. After all, they hadn't met for a period of time so they thought that Yutian had changed. He had become a steady and mature person.

Jianwen was only using Yutian to get Mengyao over here, so he didn't really care much about Yutian now. They were no longer the Songshan big four anymore, and they weren't that close, either.

Jianwen's phone rang. He frowned at it and took out his phone to check the incoming call. It was the tattooed guy.

He paused and answered the phone: "What's wrong? I'm having dinner now."

"Wen bro, the cops are following tightly these days. There are police cars in Yazi village too. I think we can move our hands now!" The tattooed guy was depressed, and he asked for instructions.
