Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: The Highlight Moment

Here, people basically drink beer or liquor; red wine is rarely chosen, so the simple bottle of wine garnered little interest.

Molly picked up the wine glass and poured three cups, “What a waste not to drink such fine wine!” Because the room was so noisy, aside from Jian Dan and Meng Ran, no one heard Molly’s remark.

Molly handed a cup to Meng Ran, “Try it!”

Meng Ran took a sip.

Though he wasn’t knowledgeable about wine tasting, the moment the wine touched his palate, he knew it definitely wasn’t cheap.

“This…” Meng Ran looked at the two women beside him.

Jian Dan and Molly exchanged a smile and made a shushing gesture towards Meng Ran.

About two hours later, Vice President Lin received a message on his phone. His lips curled up, and he had a complex look as he turned towards Jian Dan and her company in the corner.

“It’s getting late today, why don’t we call it a day?” Vice President Lin stood up and suggested.

The bill arrived promptly—

Vice President Lin, who had been feeling smug, suddenly turned ashen upon seeing the numbers on the bill, “Is there a mistake with this figure?”

“There’s absolutely no mistake! Just this bottle of Romanee-Conti costs 688,888!” the waiter explained.

“Romanee-Conti?” Vice President Lin looked befuddled at the waiter.

He had never tasted Romanee-Conti, but he had heard of it; the price of a bottle always starts in the six figures.

“What Romanee-Conti? We haven’t drunk any” several people said at once.

Such fine wine, they hadn’t even seen it, let alone tasted it.

“Right here—” a pleasant female voice rang out, “I ordered it!” Jian Dan flaunted the now empty bottle of 1999 Romanee-Conti before everyone’s eyes.

“When did you order it?” Vice President Lin’s expression was uglier than if he’d eaten excrement.

“Just now! Didn’t you say we could order anything?”

“You…” It was indeed him who said it, but he had indeed forgotten that such a wine as Romanee-Conti was on the menu; naturally, he had overlooked it since he never ordered it before.

“What’s wrong? Can’t Vice President Lin afford it?”

“Hey! If you don’t have that big of a head, you shouldn’t wear such a large hat, why try to act all important? How embarrassing now!” Molly chimed in from the side.

Hate swirled in Vice President Lin’s eyes as he stared at Jian Dan.

The others were left gazing regretfully at the empty wine bottle, inwardly lamenting that they hadn’t even had a taste.

Vice President Lin finally understood why they were served so much food just now—it was because of that bottle of Romanee-Conti.

“Vice President Lin, you’re not really unable to pay are you?” Molly spoke up again.

In front of so many people, one couldn’t lose face, so he gritted his teeth and handed his card to the waiter…

The payment of over six hundred thousand had nearly cleared out his entire savings.

After paying and getting his card back, Vice President Lin’s gaze once again landed on Jian Dan. Tonight, he was determined to make her regret everything she had done, to leave her begging for life but yearning for death.

After leaving the KTV, everyone dispersed, leaving only Vice President Lin and the trio of Jian Dan’s group.

“Let’s head back now that it’s over!” Meng Ran spoke out.

“Heh, you think too much, this is just the beginning,” snarled Vice President Lin, glaring at the trio.

“What are you going to do?” Meng Ran shielded the two women behind him.

Seeing Meng Ran’s manly stance, Molly swooned, “Meng Ran, you’re so handsome?”

“Huh?” In such a tense situation, far from being scared, she was totally at ease, prompting Meng Ran to look at her with confusion.

At that moment, a lot of people had gathered behind Vice President Lin, each one of them holding a weapon.

Meng Ran sensed trouble and while shielding Jian Dan and Molly, he whispered, “I’ll hold them off, you two run as soon as you can!”

Jian Dan hadn’t anticipated that at a critical moment, Meng Ran would stand up so strongly!
