Liu Renwei walked around the hall, drank a round, then came back to look for Ye Qingran.

He slumped on the sofa and started chatting with Ye Qingran, who was across from him. For some reason, he kept feeling like Ye Qingran was

different from before.

Ye Qingran had a good impression of Liu Renwei. Although Liu Renwei, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, was also a playboy, he didn’t let those distract him from his studies.

However, he wasn’t a bad person.

He wouldn’t miss out on any charity donations.

As the two of them were chatting, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside their ears, “Ye Qingran, since you like to gamble with others so much, do you dare to gamble with me?”

Ye Qingran turned her head and saw Dongfang Yu with a murderous look on his face.

Mu Qingxue stood at the side and looked at her angrily.

Her anger couldn’t be appeased.

Liu Renwei smiled. “Dongfang Yu, what are you doing? Why do you suddenly want to make a bet with Ye Qingran?”

Dongfang Yu didn’t reply to Liu Renwei. Instead, he stared at Ye Qingran provocatively. “Why? Don’t you dare?”

Ye Qingran: “…”

Another provocation? !

Didn’t Dongfang Yu not want to talk to her before? Why did he suddenly come to provoke her?

Moreover, he looked like he was going to fight to the death.

This didn’t seem to fit Dongfang Yu’s character, unless something that she didn’t know about happened and it involved Mu Qingxue.

Dongfang Yu would only be impulsive if it involved Mu Qingxue.

Ye Qingran curled her lips and said sarcastically, “You want to bet with me? But I’m afraid that you can’t afford it.”

Dongfang Yu said, “If I lose, you can make any request. But if you lose, I want you to kneel down and kowtow to apologize to Qingxue. Also, in the future, you’re not allowed to pester her, bother her, or backstab her, and take a detour whenever you see her.”

Ye Qingran understood that it was really because of Mu Qingxue.

Should she bet or not?

Just as she was hesitating, Dongfang Yu said again, “Ye Qingran, if you’re afraid, you don’t have to bet, but you still have to apologize to Qingxue.”

A trace of coldness flashed through Ye Qingran’s eyes.

“Alright, I accept your bet. Even if I win, I don’t want you to apologize, because I don’t care about some people’s apologies at all! I’ve heard that men’s pole dancing is more interesting than women’s. If you lose, put on your pole dancing uniform and go to the middle of the banquet hall to do a pole dance.”

Dongfang Yu clenched his fists.

This damned Ye Qingran actually wanted him to do a pole dance. It was obvious that he wanted to humiliate him.

Ye Qingran looked at the people around her and jeered, “Everyone, don’t all of you want to see our Young Master Dongfang do a pole dance?”

“Oh, how exciting. I want to see it.”

No one refused, and everyone became restless.

Their faces were filled with anticipation.

Dongfang Yu laughed coldly in his heart.

Idiot.

He didn’t even ask what the bet was, yet he acted as if he had already won.

Let’s see who would become a joke later!

He said, “There’s a red wine manor in the Dragon Palace. Apart from selling all kinds of red wine, it also provides various wine tasting services for the members of the Dragon Palace. We’ll bet on the wine tasting and have the manor choose five types of red wine to send over. Without looking at the labels, we’ll answer these red wine brands and vintage. In the end, we’ll see who has the most correct answers, and that person will win.”

Ye Qingran immediately nodded. “Alright.”

The surrounding people were all shocked as they looked at Ye Qingran in disbelief.

They whispered among themselves.

“Is Ye Qingran Crazy? Doesn’t he know that the Dongfang family mainly deals in alcohol?”

“Dongfang Yu has been by his grandfather’s side since he was young. He will definitely win if he comes into contact with different types of alcohol.”

“Tasting alcohol is so difficult. I tried it the last time and couldn’t guess any of them. It was so embarrassing.”

..

Liu Renwei was also a little worried about Ye Qingran.

He came to Ye Qingran’s side and whispered, “Why don’t we forget about it? He has been tasting wine ever since he was young. He might be able to tell the brand and year of the wine with just a sip. If you bet with him on this, you will definitely lose!”

Ye Qingran thought that Dongfang Yu was being impulsive.

She didn’t expect him to come prepared.

He had schemed against her meticulously.

The reason he had dared to challenge her was because he was 100% confident in his victory.

However, in the end, he had miscalculated one step.

Du Yan stood in a corner and watched everything happily. His heart was filled with madness and resentment. Ye Qingran, who let you be so arrogant? I’ll see how you kneel on the ground and kowtow like a dog later!

–

On the other side of the manor, a wine taster quickly prepared the red wine and utensils.

Five types of red wine were packed in a wine decanter. There was no logo, and no brand could be seen. at a glance, there was no difference in color.

If one wasn’t proficient in this field, it was usually difficult to tell the brand and year of the wine.

Ten cups were neatly arranged in two rows.

The wine taster picked up the first wine decanter, poured two cups of wine, and handed them to Ye Qingran and Dongfang Yu respectively.

He smiled and said, “After you taste the wine, please write the brand name and the year of the wine on the card.”

Dongfang Yu looked at Ye Qingran with a meaningful smile, then picked up the wine cup in front of him.

He shook the cup and let the wine be evenly smeared on the wall of the cup. He observed the color of the wine, took a sip, then wrote the brand and year of the red wine on the card.

He glanced at Ye Qingran and was surprised to find that Ye Qingran was also very fast.

“Vega Sicilia, year 2005.”

The wine taster picked up their cards and smiled, “Congratulations, both of you are right.”

Dongfang Yu was very surprised. How could Ye Qingran be right?

How could someone who didn’t even drink red wine know how to taste wine?

Ye Qingran must have guessed it! !

After rinsing their mouths with water, they began to taste the second cup.

As Dongfang Yu drank, his gaze passed through the glass and looked at Ye Qingran, who was across from him.

He saw that Ye Qingran had already put down the cup, picked up the card on the table, and started to write down the answer quickly.

Dongfang Yu closed his eyes and felt his taste buds. Then, he wrote down the name and year of the wine on the card, “Orburgundy, 2007.”

He didn’t believe that Ye Qingran would be so lucky as to correctly guess every single one of them.

However, when the wine taster answered, both of them were still correct.

This time, all the friends present were stunned!

“I knew that Dongfang Yu was very impressive, but I didn’t expect Ye Qingran to be so impressive as well.”

“In the past, when I asked him to drink, he didn’t drink much. Is it because he disliked the fact that the wine wasn’t good?”

“Ye Qingran must have guessed it. How could he compare to Young Master Yu?”

..

Most of the people nodded. Compared to believing that Ye Qingran had been keeping a low profile, they were more willing to believe that Ye Qingran had guessed it.

Du Yan was even more 100% convinced.

In the past, when they came out to play, Ye Qingran couldn’t even taste the fruit wine, much less taste it.

But in the end…

Everyone was shocked.

As for the third cup and the fourth cup, Ye Qingran still guessed correctly.

Dongfang Yu’s heart began to feel heavy.

By this time, naturally he realized that he had underestimated Ye Qingran. It seemed that Qingxue was right. Ye Qingran was sinister and vicious, and he was especially good at acting. All these years, he had been pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
