"Of course, beautiful lady, this is authentic red wine from Bordeaux, France. You'll know once you taste it." The sleazy man smiled even more ingratiatingly, almost touching Song Tian'er's shoulder as he poured her a glass.
"Really? What level is your cat pee?" Li Yang glanced at the restaurant. It was only mid-range. Although it offered drinks, they weren't high-end. Even if they had red wine, it wasn't a bar, so it was just average quality.
This slut, however, was showing off like she was showing off a treasure, clearly thinking that Li Yang and Song Tian'er were both bumpkins who didn't know anything about red wine.
You can let him fool you.
Song Tian'er blinked her sexy big eyes at the scumbag, looking like she was also very interested.
"Level? A Bordeaux wine is a Bordeaux wine. This is a Bordeaux Margherita, a top-quality wine! You wouldn't understand if I explained too much. Just understand that this is a good wine!" the scumbag explained somewhat irritably.
"Margherita Red? You really have the nerve to brag! That's the most prestigious and top-tier red wine from Bordeaux, France. The time spent macerating the grapes during fermentation controls the wine's clear, captivating color and tannin content... It takes decades to mature! May I ask how old this bottle is?" Li Yang looked at the scoundrel with a mocking gaze. Damn it, trying to show off to me? It's like trying to teach a master craftsman how to use an axe in front of Lu Ban, or showing off a great sword in front of Guan Yu!
The scoundrel glared angrily at Li Yang, his lie exposed, which made him extremely unhappy. He retorted angrily, "You know so much! Then tell me, what level is he?"
"The French government has classified French wines into four levels: Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC), Vin de Pays, Vin de Pays, and Vin de Table. I reckon your bottle is at most Vin de Table!" Li Yang said dismissively.
"Hehe...Really?" Song Tian'er covered her mouth and laughed mockingly, her body trembling with laughter, her beauty captivating.
The scoundrel was furious, but couldn't retaliate immediately, so he stood there awkwardly.
Chapter 200: So Fierce
Li Yang, adding fuel to the fire, gave a disdainful smile, picked up his water glass and brought it to Song Tian'er's lips, saying, "Here, drinking his cat pee is not as good as drinking our pure water, it's good for your health. Baby, I'll feed you!"
Song Tian'er blushed slightly, gave Li Yang a reproachful look, but was very happy inside. She parted her lips slightly and took a small sip in a very cooperative manner.
Li Yang gave the scumbag a provocative glance, and the scumbag finally got angry and smashed the red wine bottle on the ground with a "smash," scattering glass and wine everywhere.
"Damn it! You just wait!" the scoundrel said, then stomped downstairs.
"Go ahead, I'm waiting for you. And let me tell you something: if you dare call me 'Miss,' then your sister is a 'Miss,' your mother is a 'Miss,' and your whole family are 'Miss'!" Song Tian'er stopped pretending to be a lady and cursed fiercely.
"You know about red wine?" Song Tian'er asked curiously after sitting down.
Li Yang said reservedly, "Just a little bit."
"Tch—you're just pretending. You're so young, yet you act like a cunning old fox. How wicked!" Song Tian'er said disdainfully.
"I was just being modest, okay? It's a traditional Chinese virtue, how come it's become pretentious in your mouth?" Li Yang retorted, dissatisfied.
You have no taste at all!
"You dare say I have no taste? Well, that's true, otherwise how would I have met a scoundrel like you! Hehe..." Song Tian'er laughed smugly.
Thump thump thump...
A series of rapid, hurried footsteps approached, their heavy thuds on the stairs breaking the tranquility of the second floor.
The diners looked up in surprise at the stairwell, only to see five or six disheveled young men with tattoos and arrogant expressions, chewing gum and holding gleaming cleavers and dark steel pipes.
They instantly blocked the stairwell, their eyes scanning the surroundings with unrestrained fury, as if searching for something.
"Brother Xian, who is it? I'll have my brothers cripple him right now. Cripple the men, and strip the women naked so Brother Xian can take care of them!" A young man turned around and said obsequiously to the people downstairs. His tone was lewd, obscene, and vulgar.
Tap tap tap...
Another man came up the stairs. He had slicked-back hair, a suit and tie, a smile on his face, and a lewd look in his eyes. Who else could it be but the slut who had come over earlier to fawn over and show off his wine?
The sleazy man's gaze swept around the room, pausing briefly on several hot women's breasts, a lewd glint in his eyes.
The restaurant owner rushed out in a cold sweat, bowing and begging the scumbag, "Brother, brother, what's going on? We've been paying protection money all along."
The sleazy man glanced at the young man in the lead and said, "Is that so?"
“Yes, Brother Xian. This is our territory!” The young man in the lead glanced at the boss and said.
The scumbag immediately forced a fake smile, put his arm around the restaurant owner's shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be nervous. We're just doing some business here, it's not targeting you, it won't affect your business."
"But... alright." The boss was incredibly frustrated. "You guys are doing business here, aren't you just blatantly looking for trouble? It'd be a miracle if it didn't affect my business!" But he was at the mercy of the boss. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.
"Don't panic, everyone. It's alright, you can continue. I'll waive all lunch orders today as an apology!" The restaurant owner was a shrewd man; he knew that things were bound to happen, so he could only try his best to minimize the losses.
Those diners who had been panicking and trying to flee were reluctant to leave after hearing this; after all, free lunches are rare. Since it wasn't directed at them, and they could even watch the show, why should they leave?
So, one by one, they stayed behind, gloating, eating and waiting to see the show.
"Brother Xian, where is he?" The leading youth rubbed his fists together, looking like he was eager to beat someone up!
"There, look closely, it's that little B! Don't hurt the beauty, she's mine!" Brother Xian said arrogantly, pointing at Li Yang and Song Tian'er sitting by the window.
"Alright. Brother Xian, just wait and enjoy yourself! Hehe, Brother Xian has good taste, she's really beautiful!" The leading youth glanced at Song Tian'er, drooling, and said lewdly.
"Brothers, come with me." The young man in the lead waved his hand, and five or six thugs rushed up to Li Yang and Song Tian'er.
Snap!
The young man slammed his hand on the table, causing it to tremble. The water glass bounced and fell over, but Li Yang caught it and gently placed it back on the table.
He glanced at him sideways and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
Song Tian'er stood with her arms crossed, observing coldly without the slightest sign of panic. What a joke! A former underworld princess, afraid of such a scene? It'd be laughable if word got out!
"What's going on? The smart thing to do is jump from here. Don't let the brothers do it, or it won't be as simple as just jumping!" The leading youth said condescendingly to Li Yang.
The five or six thugs behind him chuckled loudly, trying to bolster their boss's image.
"What if I don't jump?" Li Yang glanced at them and said calmly.
