Female Novel
Chapter 80
Li Fenglan fumed. This guy was intentionally provoking her, wasn’t he? She snorted, turned on herheel, and walked away.
Yun Jiaming wasn’t in a good mood either and said, “All right, that’s it. Stop messing around now.”
Deep down, he was a little surprised; his brother, Yun Jiahu, was a force to be reckoned with, and heknew it very well.
Yun Jiahu had a long list of impressive achievements and became a powerful lieutenant colonel beforethe age of forty. Among his comrades, he was nicknamed ‘Jiangbei Tiger.’ Many high-ranking officialsrespected him and held him in high esteem. Among the soldiers within the Jiangbei region, he was theone who was most likely to get promoted to the rank of General within the next ten years.
‘Colonel’ and ‘General’ may sound not much different, but those were very different ranks; the latterwas equivalent to becoming a top-ranking official in Jiangling City.
This was a testament to how ambitious Yun Jiahu was. Naturally, he thought very highly of himself andhad a habit of sneering at and looking down on young talents and heroes in the military. Yet, he actuallyhumbled himself and willingly begged Chu Feng to become his son-in-law?
This would definitely be a great honor; if word got out, it would shake those young masters from therich families to the core.
Nevertheless, could Chu Feng really be someone outstanding, while he himself was the one who hadmisjudged Chu Feng?
“Hmm? Jiaming, are you actually drinking all by yourself? That was so inconsiderate of you for notinviting me to drink together!”
Yun Jiahu sniffed around and quickly discovered Yun Jiaming’s half-finished white wine on the table.Without a trace of restraint, he picked it up.
Yun Jiaming smiled helplessly. “Chu Feng gave this to me, and it’s a little too strong. How could this bealcohol? Clearly, its quality is too low to even qualify as alcohol.”
Li Fenglan kicked her sarcasm up a notch. “Drink up, Jiahu. You are in too good a shape to getpoisoned.”
“Huh? If my ‘filial son-in-law’ gave this to you, it should be all the more reason for me to give it a taste!”Yun Jiahu’s eyes lit up as he boldly drank it in one gulp.
Smash! Suddenly, the glass fell from his grip and shattered to pieces.
Yun Jiaming frowned. Puzzled, he asked, “Jiahu, what’s wrong?”
At lightning speed, Yun Jiahu sprang up from his seat and widened his eyes in surprise as he stared athis brother. novelbin
His face was a concoction of ecstasy, shock, and disbelief. Then, he dropped to his knees. Withtrembling hands, he picked the broken pieces of the glass—stained with alcohol—off the ground likethey were rare treasures.
“Jiahu! Goodness! Y-You didn’t really get poisoned, did you?” Li Fenglan was terribly frightened andquickly made to dial 120.
“Xi Feng Liquor! It’s Xi Feng Liquor!” Yun Jiahu suddenly wailed.
His palms landed hard on Yun Jiaming’s shoulders; he then grasped Yun Jiaming’s shoulders tightlyand shook them violently. Delight colored his features. Like a child, he danced around. “Jiaming, th-thisis Xi Feng Liquor!”
Excitement flowed out of Yun Jiahu. He wrapped his arm around Yun Jiaming’s shoulders and shookthem hard. “Jiaming, this is Xi Feng Liquor! Where did you get it? Do you have more of it?”
Yun Jiaming’s petite body couldn’t endure the rough shaking; it was so painful that he bared his teethas he felt like his bones were going to shatter into pieces.
“Jiahu, please calm down. You mentioned that the alcohol Feng gave me is named ‘Xi Feng Liquor’.What kind of alcohol is that? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”
Yun Jiaming frowned. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, he narrowed his wise and experienced eyes ashe sought out all his alcohol-related memories in his mind. One must understand that he was a wine-tasting expert. He had around a hundred different types of alcohol stored in his house and had tastedmore than a thousand types of alcohol before. Before the car accident, he even owned two privatewineries and frequently attended national and international wine-tasting events where he was ofteninvited to be the expert-level wine-tasting guest.
However, the name ‘Xi Feng Liquor’ did not ring a bell.
Li Fenglan, who had been watching the scene unfold before her, mocked with disdain, “What good stuffcould that poor loser possibly give us, and what’s so great about Xi Feng Liquor? I reckon it’s nothingbut rubbish.”
“Fenglan, mind your words!”
Yun Jiahu suddenly looked especially stern. He shot daggers at Li Fenglan with his eyes, and helooked like he was ready to murder. “If this was the military, I could charge you with blasphemy for whatyou had just said. I could shoot first, ask questions later, and end your life without a valid reason.”
Li Fenglan was so frightened that she paled and went silent.
“This alcohol is priceless. It is the pride of the military.”
