Chapter 1483 1478: Drink Less, There's Too Much Fake Liquor [Fifth Update]
"The earlier matter is settled, but there's another issue here. I'm not sure what you have to say, 'Young Master Song'?"Su Chen and Lin Shuang'er sat in a corner of the private room, not treating themselves as outsiders at all.
"Hehe, this wine is quite nice," Lin Shuang'er said, taking a sip from her glass with a giggle.
"Drink less; there's a lot of fake wine here," Su Chen downed his glass in one go, all the while making this comment.
Young Master Song: "..."
There's so much fake wine, yet you still drink so much?
However, as Young Master Song looked at Su Chen's face, she was suddenly a bit startled. She spoke softly, "You're that..."
"King of Wine," Su Chen replied calmly.
"That's right, it's you! What are you doing here?!" Young Master Song exclaimed in surprised delight.
The joy in her eyes instantaneously washed away all her previous displeasure.
"Why, does Young Master Song's business extend so wide? Even care about where I am?" Su Chen slightly curled his lips.
"Of course not. I'm just so surprised. I never thought I'd see you here. Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"
"Uh... looking for me?" Su Chen asked, puzzled.
He and Young Master Song were practically on separate paths. If it wasn't for looking for Chu Xingyao before, he wouldn't have had any interaction with someone like Young Master Song at all.
"Yes, looking for you!" Young Master Song looked at Su Chen with bright eyes, a thread of passion within them that Su Chen caught, but it gave him a chill down his spine. That gaze was too intimidating.
"Ahem," Young Master Zhao couldn't help but cough to the side; he was quite displeased. I've spent so much money, you just drink a glass with me and then ignore me?
And that kid, what's his name, King of Wine?
"Young Master Song, the matter between him and me isn't over yet!" Young Master Zhao's voice was slightly strong.
"Hmm? Young Master Zhao, do you have any grudges with him? How about this, for my sake, let's drop this issue. Today, I'll apologize to you on his behalf. How about I punish myself with three shots, no, five shots?" Young Master Song, for some unknown reason, without hesitation, stood up for Su Chen regarding the unknown grievances.
Young Master Zhao felt his inner displeasure intensify upon hearing Young Master Song's words.
Today, for some unknown reason, Young Master Song's emotions swung dramatically upon seeing Su Chen, losing her usually calm demeanor.
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have impulsively stood up for Su Chen because she knows this will only backfire.
Sure enough, Young Master Zhao snorted coldly, "The grudges between him and me are not something you can bear! He attacked my people, and this woman beside him, I kindly invited her for a drink, and not only did she disrespect me, but she even splashed the drink I offered her. Do I, Zhao, not deserve respect?"
Young Master Song was slightly stunned.
At this point, she realized that Young Master Zhao was likely already displeased internally, and her blatant alignment with Su Chen to smooth things over for him naturally triggered a strong reaction.
She adjusted her mood and said to Young Master Zhao, "Young Master Zhao, if you insist on making a fuss, you should know I still own a bar called 'Yelai Xiang,' right?"
"Hmm?" Young Master Zhao gestured for Young Master Song to continue.
"This young man here is the Wine King of my 'Yelai Xiang.' It's a case of water overturning the Dragon King Temple; we are all part of the same family. I'm to blame for not handling it well. How about I let him apologize to you..."
"Apologize, ha, what's he worth? Do I need him to apologize?" Young Master Zhao sneered.
Looking at the expression of Young Master Zhao, Young Master Song's heart sank slightly. She knew the nature of this middle-aged scion. If he isn't satisfied, today's matter wouldn't end, and the 'Supreme Noble' might face many issues in the future.
So even Young Master Song had to swallow her pride and said humbly, "Then Young Master Zhao, please tell us what you want, and we will comply."
Young Master Zhao remained unmoved. Young Master Song gritted her teeth, opened a bottle of Hennessy, and downed it directly.
Only then did the corners of Young Master Zhao's mouth curl up into a slight smile, but clearly, it wasn't enough.
"Young Master Song, what's the point of drinking alone? I'm not an unreasonable person; this bottle of wine..."
Young Master Zhao slid a full bottle of Jägermeister over to Lin Shuang'er, seated at the other end.
"If she drinks this, and then this bottle of wine is poured over your head, we can discuss his matter further."
Young Master Song didn't hesitate, immediately picking up the bottle and pouring the wine over herself.
The liquid coursed down her slender body, and Young Master Zhao's eyes were full of excitement.
"Alright, alright, alright! Once she finishes this wine, I still want one of his hands, and this matter can be considered settled!" Young Master Zhao, face flushed, was extremely excited.
Sitting at the other end, Lin Shuang'er stealthily glanced at the full bottle of Jägermeister not far away and couldn't help but swallow.
Though she loves clubbing and drinking, she's never had this kind of experience. A full bottle of Jägermeister was seven hundred milliliters.
With Lin Shuang'er's drinking capacity, she might not even finish a third before passing out.
"You drink this, and I'll compensate you with a hundred thousand yuan," Young Master Song offered, noticing Lin Shuang'er's hesitant look.
A hundred thousand to drink a bottle of wine—any ordinary person would down it even if it were drenched in dishwater.
But Lin Shuang'er was not from an ordinary background. She lived a privileged life, like a princess from a fairy tale. Not to mention a hundred thousand, even a million or ten million might not sway her; they're just numbers to her.
"Brother-in-law..." Lin Shuang'er pleaded pitifully to Su Chen, her small and helpless appearance arousing an overflow of compassion.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one can force you to do anything you don't want to," Su Chen declared firmly.
The voice wasn't loud, but in the silent private room, everyone heard it clearly.
Young Master Zhao's eyes were full of mockery, and Young Master Song's eyes showed slight disappointment.
Confidence is good, but using confidence in the wrong place can lead to regret.
Seeing this, Young Master Song couldn't help but plead with Young Master Zhao again, "Young Master Zhao, how about this, I'll drink the wine for her..."
"Who are you to her? You drink for her? If I want her, would you offer yourself instead?" Young Master Zhao's cold words rendered Young Master Song speechless.
Today, it was clear that Young Master Zhao was specifically targeting Lin Shuang'er. Even if Lin Shuang'er drank this bottle of wine, it wouldn't end there. Without satisfying Young Master Zhao, today's matter wouldn't conclude!
Young Master Zhao's domineering attitude caused Young Master Song to fall into a temporary silence. She was also weighing whether it was worth offending Young Master Zhao for this couple in front of her.
