At this moment, the tea table inside the private room was surrounded by a dense crowd, each person's gaze fixed on the tea table, every expression distinctly different.

Most of the people wore amused expressions, not believing that a high-end club like Eastern Pearl could have counterfeit wine, even more so, they were hoping to see Ye Feng make a fool of himself.

In their eyes, although Ye Feng was capable of fighting, he was still just a man who relied on women, and such a person was not fit to mingle with them!

Unlike the majority, the few girls who had been teasing Ye Feng earlier all hoped that the bottle of red wine was indeed fake because they did not like to see their newly admired hero being embarrassed.

Seemingly sensing the eager emotions of the crowd, the corners of Wan Shaoling's mouth curled up even more. In his eyes, Ye Feng making a fool of himself this time was inevitable.

The red wine gradually gathered at his fingertips, forming a drop of bright red liquid, falling down.

The room was dead silent, and as a tiny sound 'drip' resonated, the drop fell onto the tea table, splattering afterward.

One drop...

Two drops...

Three drops...

Four drops...

Five... five drops...

...

Watching the sequence of droplets on the tea table, everyone's minds were somewhat dumbfounded, a thorough check revealed exactly ten droplets!

Gasp!

The previously amused crowd's expressions suddenly froze there, even the amused look on their faces was so glaringly ridiculous and comical!

One by one, their eyes widened, expressions gradually revealing thick disbelief!

How is that possible!!!

Wan Shaoling stared intently at those ten droplets, his eyeballs almost bulging out.

The Bordeaux Kelude's red wine could definitely be tested using this 'four-petal fall' method, and now with these droplets erupting to ten, it obviously wasn't Bordeaux Kelude's red wine!

Not just him, Qi Jian, Little Monkey, and even Jiang Ying, every one of them displayed an incredulous look on their faces.

These scions of great families had drunk countless red wines, Bordeaux Kelude's especially was deeply ingrained in their minds, but now...

Unlike everyone else's shocked expressions, Ye Feng's eyes brightened upon seeing those ten droplets, followed by a mischievous smile appearing on his lips:

"How about it, Wan Shaoling, were you serving me counterfeit wine as a toast?"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Wan Shaoling's mouth twitched, he knew, he had really blundered this time.

However, his blunder was not unfounded. Counterfeit wine appearing in Eastern Pearl was a bizarre event hardly seen in decades, and he had actually encountered it.

"Ye Feng! I'm really sorry, I just picked up a bottle on a whim and didn't know it was counterfeit!"

Wan Shaoling was deeply scheming, especially capable of bowing and scraping, and instantly his face bore a remorseful smile, sincerely apologizing.

And seeing Wan Shaoling's apologetic attitude, the surrounding people couldn't help but have more favorable impressions of him; at least he could admit his mistakes with grace, which really did show much more cultivation than most wealthy scions.

Watching how well this guy could act, Ye Feng was also a bit astonished and couldn't help but regard him more highly.

"Ye Feng, your knowledge of wine really impresses me! By chance, I also have some understanding of red wines. Although I can't determine counterfeit wine at a glance like you, the art of wine tasting is also something I deeply enjoy. How about today we compete to see who has a better eye for selecting wine?"

Wan Shaoling wouldn't give up so easily, his eyes shifting as he came up with a plan.

Actually, Wan Shaoling's words were fairly modest. He had spent his childhood in France, and later returned there for further studies; he was extremely familiar with Western etiquette and wine tasting.

Among the younger generation in Mingzhu City, if anyone claimed to be second in wine tasting abilities, no one dared claim the first. Perhaps only the old folks who had been drinking red wine for decades could compete with him.

When the crowd heard Wan Shaoling challenge Ye Feng to select wine, their interest was piqued once again.

After the recent event, everyone had begun to respect Ye Feng's wine evaluation skills. And Wan Shaoling's abilities in wine tasting were well acknowledged; a contest between these two would surely be a dramatic battle of dragons and tigers.

Ye Feng seemed to have read Wan Shaoling's mind, a faint smile spreading across his face as he nodded:

"Since Wan is so elegant, I will naturally keep you company until the end! But merely selecting wine would be boring! How about, we add some stakes?"

Hmm?

Add some stakes? That naturally meant a bet!

The crowd was surprised, clearly not expecting Ye Feng to be so confident as to be the first to propose a wine selection bet!

Wan Shaoling was also greatly taken aback, but as the successor of the Wan Family, he naturally wouldn't mind the minor stakes:

"Good! I wonder what Ye would like to bet?"

As Wan Shaoling spoke, he sized up Ye Feng from head to toe. His gaze implied that, judging by Ye Feng's attire, he couldn't possibly put up any valuable stakes!

The rest felt the same. In their eyes, Ye Feng's wealth was definitely not on the same level as the others present. To them, a bet from such a person was just trivial.

Noticing the crowd's odd looks towards Ye Feng, Jiang Ying's pretty face darkened. She then stepped forward, standing beside Ye Feng, and said directly:

"Ye Feng, no matter the stakes, our Jiang Family will cover you!"

Jiang Ying's words caused a stir of envy among the crowd. With the Jiang Family backing Ye Feng, this man really had struck great luck.

However, Ye Feng pulled Jiang Ying into an embrace and shook his head with a smile:

"No need! I am a poor man, and naturally, I should gamble in a poor man's way!"

After speaking, Ye Feng pointed at the bottle of fake wine on the coffee table and said to Wan Shaoling:

"If I win, I just need that bottle of fake wine! And if you win, I will toast you with a drink!"

Ye Feng's words left the crowd stunned, followed by some wealthy youngsters bursting into laughter.

They really thought that with the Jiang Family backing him, Ye Feng would announce a large stake, but he stuck to a beggar's bet.

"A beggar will always be a beggar, even if they cling to the high branches, they can't shed their poor demeanor!"

Qi Jian and the rest thought similar to each other, deeming Ye Feng as someone accustomed to poverty. Even in such high-level gatherings, he still gambled in a poor man's way.

Unlike them, Wan Shaoling frowned upon hearing Ye Feng's words, then looked over at the bottle of fake wine.

He felt that Ye Feng was not that simple. If the guy could identify it as fake wine at a glance, how could he be foolish enough to want a bottle of fake wine as a stake!

At that moment, Wan Shaoling didn't immediately agree, but instead picked up the bottle of fake wine, sniffed it at the mouth, but still couldn't detect anything unusual.

"Alright! I agree!"

After confirming there was nothing unusual with the wine, Wan Shaoling turned to Ye Feng and agreed in one breath.
