Han Jingting could never have imagined that the Chen Xuan she thought it impossible to be was actually the man with the clout to have the Huai City Banquet owner bring out the wine!
Seeing the self-righteous expressions on Meng Junchen and Ding Lijuan’s faces, Chen Xuan couldn’t be bothered to explain, because even if he did, no one would believe him.
“Come on, uncle and auntie, let me pour the wine for you!”
Meng Junchen unapologetically popped open the Lafite Castle and poured the wine for everyone.
“Brother Chen, wouldn’t you like to try?
A 50,000 yuan bottle of wine isn’t something one can drink just any day.”
When it was Chen Xuan’s turn, Meng Junchen’s smile was full of teasing.
“With that look of his, what does he know about wine?
Letting him drink such expensive wine would be a waste, don’t give it to him!” Ding Lijuan blocked him with a gesture.
Meng Junchen shrugged his shoulders, mocking Chen Xuan for his lack of good fortune.
“Lafite Castle, it’s just different!” Han Bowwen swirled his wine glass pretentiously, a look of enjoyment on his face.
Ding Lijuan also chugged a mouthful, eyes sparkling with excitement, “Thanks to Jun Chen, we have such good fortune!
Jingting, Jun Chen has helped you so much and even let us drink such expensive wine, why don’t you hurry up and offer him a toast!”
Hearing this, Han Jingting picked up her wine glass and stood up, “Meng Junchen, thanks for the help with the company matter earlier, this toast is for you!”
With that, Han Jingting downed her glass in one go.
Watching his wife proactively offer a toast to another man, Chen Xuan felt very uncomfortable.
Most importantly, the person who should be receiving thanks and a toast was himself!
At that moment, Chen Xuan’s cellphone started ringing.
Chen Xuan answered, and a woman’s voice came through, “President Chen, hello, this is Xue Qin, your assistant at Yaowang Corporation.
There is a major decision at the company that requires your attention.
Do you have time to come to the office now?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Where are you now?
I can come and pick you up.”
Chen Xuan reported his location, and Xue Qin sounded pleasantly surprised.
“I’m actually just nearby, I’ll be there in five minutes!”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan found an excuse and left the private room.
In Meng Junchen’s eyes, Chen Xuan’s departure was entirely because he was upset about Han Jingting toasting him.
Meng Junchen felt even more smug in his heart.
Passing through the lobby, Chen Xuan just happened to bump into Cui Ruyun.
“Mr.
Chen, leaving so soon?”
Today, Cui Ruyun was wearing a black deep V long dress, exuding an air of femininity and allure.
“Hmm, I still have some matters to handle.
By the way, thank you, President Cui, for the wine, sorry for the inconvenience!”
“It’s just a small gift, no need to be polite.”
Chen Xuan, however, continued, “But really, there’s no need for the next time.
Such precious gifts benefitting others makes me feel bad.”
Cui Ruyun was always adept at dealing with people from all sides.
As smart as she was, how could she fail to understand the meaning behind Chen Xuan’s words?
Clearly, Chen Xuan’s relationship with the others in that private room was not very good.
Cui Ruyun was about to say something when her gaze was captured by a figure approaching.
The woman in front of her had an absolutely beautiful face and wore a high-end professional suit, a black hip-hugging short skirt, and a white chiffon blouse, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.
A pair of black high heels further accentuated her long legs, complimenting her tall and elegant stature.
Even Cui Ruyun, a woman herself, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy at such a stunning beauty.
As Cui Ruyun watched in amazement, the beautiful woman walked straight up to Chen Xuan.
“President Chen, I’ve come to pick you up!” Xue Qin’s face beamed with an enthusiastic smile.
“Alright, President Cui, I must be going now for my business!”
Chen Xuan then got into a Maybach parked at the entrance and left directly.
Watching the Maybach disappear, a flash of surprise crossed Cui Ruyun’s charming face.
Having frequented the upper echelons of Huai City society for many years, she was almost as familiar with the city’s prominent figures and families as the back of her hand.
She had seen this Maybach’s license plate before and knew it belonged to the head of Yaowang Corporation, which was an asset of the Zheng Family in Huai City!
Cui Ruyun had originally thought this young man surnamed Chen was just an ordinary person with some medical knowledge, yet she hadn’t expected him to be associated with the Zheng Family.
“Really quite impressive…”
Cui Ruyun’s sexy red lips curved into a charming smile.
Meanwhile, back in the private dining room,
Ding Lijuan got up to go to the restroom.
As she walked out of the restroom, Ding Lijuan was looking down, scrolling through her social feed.
She had finally come to the Huai City Banquet for a meal and enjoyed a bottle of Lafite Castle worth fifty thousand; as vain as she was, naturally she had posted it all on her social feed.
While reveling in the envy from her old girlfriends, she turned a corner and carelessly bumped full-on into a waiter.
“Crash!”
The bottles of red wine the waiter was carrying shattered to the ground, spilling wine everywhere.
“How do you walk, are you blind?” Ding Lijuan didn’t even think before she started screaming, “These pants cost me thousands!
Now they’re covered in wine, can you afford to compensate me?”
The waiter was also incredibly frustrated, “Lady, be reasonable, will you?
It was clearly you who bumped into me because you were looking at your phone!”
“A little waiter dares to talk back to me!
Bring your boss here, let’s see if he dares talk to me like you do!”
On an ordinary day, Ding Lijuan would never dare to be so arrogant in such an upscale place.
But today was different, even the owner of the Huai City Banquet had to curry favor with Meng Junchen, so she felt fearless and acted as arrogantly as she pleased.
No sooner had Ding Lijuan’s words fallen than a man dressed in a suit walked over with a dark expression.
“Xiao Wang, what’s going on here?”
“Manager, she wasn’t watching where she was going, knocked over my wine, and is now trying to deny it!”
Ding Lijuan immediately exploded, “Who’s denying anything?
It was clearly you who bumped into me without looking where you were going, I haven’t even started to hold you accountable!”
The manager shouted sharply, “Alright, there are surveillance cameras here, we can find out whose fault it is by watching the footage!”
The manager promptly took out a tablet and pulled up the footage from a few minutes prior.
The image was clear, and who was right or wrong was obvious.
The manager looked at Ding Lijuan with an unsightly expression, “Now, do you have anything else you want to say?”

Even if Ding Lijuan wanted to argue, she was at a loss for words.
The manager then said, “You have two choices: either we call the police, or you pay for the damages!”
Ding Lijuan snorted disdainfully, “I’ll pay, it’s just a few bottles of wine, how much can they be worth!”
“Not that much, the 1996 Mouton sells for one hundred and twenty thousand a bottle, and the total for four bottles is just under five hundred thousand!”
“What?
Five…
five hundred thousand…”
Manager’s casual remark sent Ding Lijuan’s legs buckling, and she collapsed onto the floor.
“So, how will you pay, cash or card?” the manager asked with a meaningful cold smirk.
Ding Lijuan could no longer pretend to be superior and hurriedly pulled out her phone to call Han Jingting.
“Jingting, come save me quickly!”
