Li Chuyue was furious and said, "What gives you the right to do this, and shouldn't you be reasonable? We've paid, and we haven't caused any trouble, so why did you kick Liu Wentian out??"

Although she said this, she was somewhat panicked. He understood that this Manager Huang could indeed directly have Liu Wentian thrown out. After all, Manager Huang had given away tens of thousands worth of wine to Lai Gaojun, so throwing out an ordinary person was nothing unusual.

Liu Wentian's eyes shone with a dangerous light, and if anyone actually came to kick him out, he wouldn't mind breaking their limbs.

However, Manager Huang said something that surprised everyone.

He said to Lai Gaojun with a smirk, "Who said that wine was from me?"

Lai Gaojun, as if slapped suddenly, was stunned and exclaimed, "But the waiter said the wine was from the boss for the distinguished guests here, couldn't it be you, Manager Huang, who sent it to me? Besides me, who else here could be considered a distinguished guest?"

He looked at Liu Wentian and Li Chuyue, baffled.

These two, one a female model with no background, the other obviously a pauper, couldn't be the distinguished guests, surely not them. What a joke!

Even Li Chuyue was confused. Only Liu Wentian after a brief pause, began to suspect something.

Manager Huang's face suddenly turned stern as he rebuked Lai Gaojun, saying, "Mr. Lai, you really aren't a distinguished guest, and I'm not the boss. That tens of thousands worth of wine—no way can I, a mere employee, afford to give it away! Don't you know who our restaurant's boss is yet? Did you think I'd dare call myself the boss? Are you trying to get me killed?"

"Boss, isn't that referring to you, Manager Huang? Could it be… Mr. Yan… Yan the boss?"

Lai Gaojun's legs trembled slightly. Upon further thought, it was true that Manager Huang couldn't possibly refer to himself as the boss, knowing the actual owner of the restaurant came from a ruthless underworld background. On his watch, no one dared to call themselves the boss! Absolutely not!

Upon more careful thought, it was indeed impossible that Manager Huang gave the wine to him for no reason.

As the general manager of this restaurant, making a hundred thousand a month at most, how could he afford to give away tens of thousands worth of wine? Such an act could indeed only be done by Mr. Yan, as tens of thousands meant as little as a speck of dust to him.

Earlier, in his eagerness to impress Li Chuyue, he hadn't thought much about it. Now, thinking it over more carefully, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Yet, who here was qualified to be called a distinguished guest by that man? Surely not himself, but there were only three people here altogether. Could the man have made a mistake?

Thinking this, he said to Manager Huang in a panicked tone, "Manager Huang, was this wine supposed to go to another table and you sent it to the wrong one? There are no distinguished guests here."

Manager Huang, filled with righteous indignation as if he had been insulted, retorted furiously, "Are you an idiot? Are you blind? Didn't you see Mr. Liu sitting here?"

After saying this, he smiled somewhat ingratiatingly at Liu Wentian.

Being the general manager of such a place indicated he was much smarter than the average person and thought faster as well.

Almost from the first sentence spoken by Lai Gaojun, he was nearly certain that this man had caused trouble for one of his boss's distinguished guests. Observing their expressions, he was completely certain.

His reprimanding and scolding of Lai Gaojun was undoubtedly an indirect way to curry favor with Liu Wentian.

Although unaware of the exact status of Liu Wentian, he knew it was no simple matter. His restaurant saw many wealthy and influential guests daily, but very few received personally gifted wine from the boss, especially wine treasured from his own cellar.

It was almost common sense to him which side he should stand on.

On one hand, there was just a small businessman with some dealings, and on the other, a distinguished guest of the boss. If he couldn't figure this out, he might as well not continue as the general manager.

Upon hearing Manager Huang's words, Lai Gaojun, as if hearing a joke, laughed out loud and said, "Manager Huang, you must be mistaken! This kid, a distinguished guest? Look at his clothes, and his manner of eating—he's just a poor loser. There's no way he knows Mr. Yan."

Li Chuyue saw Lai Gaojun look down on Liu Wentian so contemptuously and felt displeased, but just couldn't figure out how to argue back. In her view, Liu Wentian indeed didn't have any chance of knowing the restaurant's behind-the-scenes owner.

After all, anyone who could open a Western restaurant in such a bustling area definitely wasn't ordinary.

Liu Wentian, however, had already figured it out and guessed who it was. He did know a person surnamed Yan, and had even saved that person's life—someone who could certainly afford to open this restaurant.

That person was Yan Tianpeng, who had previously helped Sheng Qianmei, whom he had saved!!

Manager Huang, hearing Lai Gaojun continue to mock Liu Wentian, was annoyed by Lai Gaojun's ignorance and was just about to scold him.

A hearty voice from a middle-aged man rang out, "Haha, Brother Liu, I didn't expect to encounter you here by fate. I saw you just now, but I was just in a discussion with a client, and it got delayed, so I came over late. How is it, do you like the red wine I sent??"

A middle-aged man came over laughing, followed by a bulky Zhuang Han. It was Yan Tianpeng and Gang Jie.

Manager Huang, seeing the two of them, hurriedly said, "Boss!! Brother Jie!!"

Yan Tianpeng nodded slightly but seeing that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, his face turned somewhat unpleasant, and he said sternly, "Huang Weiyi, what's going on? Haven't you taken good care of Brother Liu??"

Suddenly, Manager Huang's back was covered in sweat. He clearly understood how vicious his seemingly kind boss could be. Angering him could lead to his disappearance tonight without a trace.

The originally laughing Lai Gaojun's smile had already frozen on his face.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Yan Tianpeng didn't recognize Lai Gaojun, but Lai Gaojun recognized Yan Tianpeng.

Hearing what Yan Tianpeng said, although Lai Gaojun was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to believe that Liu Wentian really was an honored guest of Yan Tianpeng!!

Suddenly, recalling rumors about Yan Tianpeng, his face turned ashen.

Looking at Liu Wentian, fear was mixed with awe in his eyes. Who exactly was this man, and how could he have a connection with Yan Tianpeng??

In his eyes, Liu Wentian also became mysterious, an ordinary person wouldn't possibly have connections with Yan Tianpeng, much less be called his brother.

Manager Huang quickly relayed the situation to Yan Tianpeng in a few brief words, clearly explaining the issue.

Yan Tianpeng's mood changed faster than flipping through a book. One second he was smiling, and the next, his face clouded over when he looked toward Lai Gaojun, making Lai Gaojun's legs go weak.

He coldly stared at Lai Gaojun, his expression dark, and said, "The red wine meant for Brother Liu, you drank it? Did it taste good??"

Lai Gaojun, terrified, his voice trembling, managed a smile more ugly than crying, said, "Boss Yan, I'm really sorry, I truly didn't realize this man was your honored guest, nor that the wine was your gift to him. I... I..."

Yan Tianpeng ignored his explanation, waved his hand, and asked, "How much did you drink??"

"Just... just a few sips," said Lai Gaojun, his voice still trembling.

Yan Tianpeng nodded and said nothing more, then to Gang Jie, he ordered, "Drag him out and beat him viciously, beat him until he vomits what he drank."

Then, to Lai Gaojun, who was scared and begging on the floor, he said, "What do you think you are? You think you can afford to drink Yan Tianpeng's wine? You're really looking for death!!"

Gang Jie acknowledged with a sound, then dragged Lai Gaojun away.

Seeing that Yan Tianpeng completely ignored his pleas, Lai Gaojun turned to Liu Wentian begging, "I was blind and couldn't see Mount Tai, please spare me! I won't dare anymore!!"
