Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Swindler Arrives! Fifth Update

"All right, no more pretending to be polite. They’ve already poured it for you, it wouldn’t be polite not to drink," Jiang Hui’s voice came just in time.

Seeing her carrying a plate of fried fish out of the kitchen, Tang Guoqing simply said, "Come on, Chen, let’s drink at the dining table, and take it slow."

"Okay," Chen Wei walked steadily toward the dining room with a wine glass in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.

His steps were steady, but Tang Guoqing’s heart had not stopped fluttering until the wine glass was securely on the table, afraid even a drop might spill.

For a lover of wine like him, spilling even a drop of such fine liquor was enough to cause an ache in the heart, making one almost wish to lick it off the floor to minimize the loss.

"Here, Uncle, give it a try," Chen Wei invited.

"Well then, I shall not stand on ceremony," Tang Guoqing glanced at Tang Qing, then back to Chen Wei, and finally at his wife Jiang Hui.

"If you want to drink, just drink, don’t embarrass yourself in front of the kids," Jiang Hui truly didn’t understand how Tang Guoqing, a man of his age, could still act like a child.

"All right, I’ll give it a try," Tang Guoqing lifted the wine glass with both hands carefully, took a small sip, smacked his lips a few times, and his little expression almost looked like he was in heaven.

Those who knew better wouldn’t think much, but anyone else looking at Tang Guoqing’s face might think he was engaged in some sort of romantic affair.

"Tang! Rein it in a bit!" Even Jiang Hui felt embarrassed, especially in front of Chen Wei.

Tang Qing couldn’t help but bury her face and snicker, having never seen her father with such an expression before.

"I’m sorry, Chen, for making a fool of myself, but this wine is just too delicious! I’ve never tasted anything like it in my life!" Tang Guoqing might have lacked adjectives, but the quiver in his voice conveyed his genuine emotion.

"It’s just a cup of wine, can it really be that exaggerated?" Tang Qing said critically.

She believed that a bottle of wine selling for millions was already absurd, and coupled with Tang Guoqing’s reaction, it was just the pinnacle of absurdity.

"Why don’t you have a taste?" Chen Wei asked.

"Hey! Chen, she doesn’t know the first thing about wine. Giving her some would only waste such fine liquor."

Tang Guoqing’s comment made Tang Qing defiantly pour herself a glass. "Who said I don’t know how to drink? I’ll show you!"

"Drink a little less, the alcohol content is high, don’t get drunk," Jiang Hui said, looking worried.

Tang Qing took a gulp, closing her eyes.

She normally drank beer and rarely spirits. The few times she did, she found them weird, burning her throat.

But the moment this liquor hit her stomach, Tang Qing’s eyes popped open, her face lit up as if she’d discovered a new world.

The drink had a rich, mellow taste, sweet and smooth with a lasting aftertaste, leaving a fragrant flavor in her mouth...

Even as someone who didn’t understand wine, she knew instantly that this was truly fine liquor!

No wonder it could sell for millions, no wonder it could bring out such a strange expression on her father’s face.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Tang Guoqing, seeing Tang Qing reach for the wine bottle, snatched it away protectively.

"It tastes good, I want to drink some more," Tang Qing sulked.

"Do you think this is tap water? Wine is meant to be sipped slowly. Drinking it like you’re doing is just a waste!"

...

Hearing this conversation, Chen Wei and Jiang Hui exchanged a glance, their smiles forced, both worried the father and daughter would come to blows over this.

"If you want to drink, bring your cup here, I’ll pour it for you."

Fortunately, both parties ultimately reached a compromise, and no one was hurt.

In the end, it was Chen Wei who drank the least, while Tang Guoqing and his daughter, Tang Qing, became more and more enthusiastic as they drank.

Bang, bang, bang.

Amidst the merriment, such discordant knocking? Describing it as pounding on the door would not be an exaggeration.

"It’s definitely that bastard coming to con you out of your money again."

From Jiang Hui’s expression, Chen Wei had every reason to be sure, the visitor boded ill!

"I’ll go take a look," said Tang Guoqing as he rose and walked over.

He opened the door.

"Old Tang, you’ve made a fortune this time. I got two more bottles of fine wine, and I thought of you first thing. I brought them over specially for you to see," Tang Guoqing had just cracked the door open a little when the man pushed his way in.

"We were just drinking," Wu Tianqi glanced over and, seeing that several people were enjoying the wine he sold to Tang Guoqing, his lips curled into a subtle, sly smile that was gone in a flash.

Then he took out two new bottles of wine from the paper bag and placed them on the table, "Old Tang, you’re the wine connoisseur here. Take a look at this, it’s the real deal, 10-year-cellar-aged Everlasting Wine!"

"I’m sure you’ll like it. For old times’ sake, I’ll give you a 40% discount. How about I sell you one bottle for twelve thousand?"

Wu Tianqi posed as if he was making a great sacrifice and was determined to give Tang Guoqing an unbeatable deal.

"Uncle Wu, I’m a bit strapped for cash, and I’m not looking to buy wine right now. You should take it back," Tang Guoqing declined politely, trying to save Wu Tianqi some face.

"Old Tang, don’t joke around. You’re strapped for cash? Didn’t your pension just come in this month by date? Is it too expensive? Fine, one bottle for ten thousand, and I’ll knock off eight thousand for two bottles. That should do it, right? Don’t say I don’t look after you," Wu Tianqi patted Tang Guoqing on the shoulder, all smiles.

Tang Qing could no longer bear it and slammed her chopsticks down on the table, "Uncle Wu, my dad’s already given you enough face. Can’t you have some decency and leave on your own? Don’t force us to turn against you, it would be awkward."

"Also, I must remind you, selling fake wine is illegal! For my dad’s sake, we might not hold you accountable for the stuff you’ve done to our family, but all those things you do outside, you know better than anyone else, sooner or later, you’ll pay the price."

Tang Qing certainly didn’t think Wu Tianqi would only sell fake wine to Tang Guoqing.

People like him, they take advantage of those closest to them.

"Qing! What are you talking about? Who’s selling fake wine? If you don’t want to buy, just say so. What do you mean by framing me? Today, you all have to make things clear!" Exposed in his scam, Wu Tianqi wasn’t frightened. Instead, he was even more assertive than the deceived, pulled out a stool to sit on, crossed his legs, folded his arms, and assumed an air as if people owed him, insisting that Tang Qing’s family give a reasonable explanation.

His performance vividly embodied the definition of shamelessness.

"She’s not wrong, you’re indeed selling fake wine," Chen Wei stood up and said.

"You little punk! Who are you? What do you know that you dare to spout nonsense here? Do you understand wine? Even if you do, do you understand it as well as I do? Don’t think a little knowledge makes you an expert, your limited knowledge is worthless in front of me!" Wu Tianqi scoffed.

"With thousands of years of wine culture in Great Xia, I admit I only know a little, but at least I know that on December 13th, 2001, because of the food crisis, the Everlasting Wine Group didn’t produce a single bottle of liquor, but instead manufactured daily necessities to keep the company functioning and weather the food crisis, only gradually resuming liquor production the following year."
