Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1114: You Drank the Wrong One

”Ingenious Hand’s unexpected discovery, this wine stirs the heart, like a serendipitous encounter of incredible beauty in this world—its name is ’Encounter.’”

”The name of this wine, it was Bai Xiaosheng who named it!”

It was unexpected that this wine would show up in the third round of the wine tasting.

Bai Xiaosheng was amazed.

This coincidence really matched the name of the wine!

Zhang Yunyao said the wine was brought by a guest, could it be that tonight’s mysterious guest—

was Mo Xin!

Thinking back to that girl, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile warmly; she was both gentle and lively, possessing a heart like a heroine and a spirit for adventure, which indeed left a deep impression on him.

Over the past year or so, Mo Xin also contacted him from time to time.

Unexpectedly, now, they were about to reunite at the Zhang Family’s event!

Indeed, after the original formulation of ”Encounter,” it had gone through several improvements; now just the aroma of the wine was enough to make one reluctant to stop.

Every time there was an improvement, Mo Xin would report to Bai Xiaosheng and seek his opinion.

If Bai Xiaosheng didn’t approve, she wouldn’t make the change!

It was funny that the latest ”Encounter” had only been heard of by Bai Xiaosheng, he really wanted to taste it.

”Mr. Bai, this time, you should give up!”

Just as Bai Xiaosheng was reminiscing, he suddenly heard someone sneer.

Bai Xiaosheng came back to his senses, and just then, a servant brought him a glass of wine.

Bai Xiaosheng took the wine glass and looked up.

The speaker was Huo Yumeng.

At this moment, she stood there, pinching the thin stem of the glass between her thumb and index finger, her beautiful eyes slightly mesmerized by the wine in her glass as if beholding nectar and ambrosia.

In her expression, there was also a reverence for the fine wine.

Seeing her behave like this, the guests who had received their wines dared not be careless.

They desperately wanted to taste it but were afraid of not appreciating it properly and ruining such beautiful wine, so they kept watching Bai Xiaosheng and Huo Yumeng, hoping to get ”guidance.”

When Huo Yumeng spoke, everyone’s attention converged on her.

”Do you want me to give up?” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”I wonder what makes Miss Huo say this, perhaps you understand this wine very well?”

His words made Huo Yumeng scoff.

”Among all here, no one understands it better than I do!” Huo Yumeng glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, confidence and a trace of scorn evident in her gaze, ”Because I have had the fortune to taste it once and I have heard the wonderful tales about it.”

So confident?

More than I, the original creator?

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”Oh? Then, Miss Huo, how might you instruct me?”

Faced with Bai Xiaosheng’s obstinate demeanor, Huo Yumeng’s eyes filled with a ”one cannot carve rotten wood” attitude.

”Miss Huo, since you’ve tasted this wine and know so much about it, why not share with us?” Zhang Yunyao couldn’t help saying.

In her hand, she too held a glass of wine.

Even as the host of this wine tasting, she had not tasted this wine and like everyone else, both wanted to drink yet feared being disrespectful to such fine wine.

Many nodded their heads, their gazes eagerly on Huo Yumeng.

Even Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were somewhat curious.

Bai Xiaosheng had told them about ”Encounter,” but they had never tasted this version after several amendments, naturally, they couldn’t recognize it.

Only Bai Xiaosheng with his exceptionally keen senses, paired with Red Lotus, the super AI, managed to identify it without issue.

”This woman has tasted it? Then this round, I’m afraid it’s a loss! But with fine wine in front, losing is not shameful.” Even Jia Dazhuang muttered, caring more about the wine than winning the competition.

In his view, Bai Xiaosheng had already won a round; even losing one would just be a draw, not a shame at all.

Under the eager attention of everyone, Huo Yumeng’s lips curved into a smug smile.

Only she had tasted this wine!

Only she knew this wine!

At that moment, Huo Yumeng felt like she was an almighty queen, a sovereign ruling over everything!

What Bai Xiaosheng, what precise evaluation of Xueli’s wine, what was that!

Now, let him have nothing to say!

”This wine, its name is ’Encounter.’” Huo Yumeng began her passionate rendition.

Everyone immediately became silent and listened intently.

”It is said, there was a young couple, the male handsome and talented, the female beautiful and gentle; they encountered each other unintentionally, attracted and adored each other. Day by day, they felt every day was the most wonderful time in the world!”

”However, the boy knew that the girl was extraordinary, and that one day, she would leave.”

”The girl also knew that separation was their inevitable future.”

”They buried the mutual awareness of parting in their hearts, happily spending each day until that day arrived...”

Huo Yumeng passionately narrated, her eyes enchanted.

This story, told in the simplest terms, seemed to narrate a rather ordinary story at first hearing, yet it irresistibly drew listeners in, reminding them of their own first loves, the initial stirrings of affection.

”Finally, the girl left. The boy did not get to hear a goodbye from her lips.”

”However, the girl sent a message through someone else, just three words—”

”’I’ll wait for you!’”

”The boy never lost hope, always striving; he believed that one day, he would stand before her and return her three words—”

”’I’ve arrived!’”

”No earth-shattering, no sworn vows, just like an encounter, a lifelong promise to follow!”

Huo Yumeng’s long eyelashes had unwittingly gathered a moment of sparkling tears, touched by the modest beauty of the story.

Both the male and female guests at the scene seemed moved, many with moist eyes but smiling faces.

”This is the story behind this wine, the origin of this wine.”

Huo Yumeng looked around, and seeing that nearly everyone was moved, she couldn’t help but feel proud.

However, when she saw Bai Xiaosheng, she unexpectedly noticed that this man had a strange expression—

A bit of not knowing whether to laugh or cry?

Contemptible, vulgar people!

Huo Yumeng glared fiercely at Bai Xiaosheng, even feeling a bit angry.

Bai Xiaosheng remained indifferent, only sighing in his heart—

”Mo Xin, you guy! You took the story I once told and turned it into a brand story and spread it out!”

After glaring at Bai Xiaosheng, Huo Yumeng raised her wine glass towards the guests present, ”To the beauty in the story, let us taste the wine ’Encounter’ together.”

Many people immediately raised their glasses.

”Everyone, drink the red wine in this way, smell its aroma, sip a small amount, and half gargle with it, allowing the wine to fully mix with the air in your mouth and touch every part!”

Following Huo Yumeng’s instructions, many people couldn’t help but do as she said.

Even Huo Yumeng herself, cautiously tasted it.

The wine entered the throat, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Many people looked incredibly excited.

”This is the wrong way to drink it.”

Suddenly, a voice came through, unhurried but clear.

The delightful atmosphere seemed to be abruptly interrupted.

Many people looked over in surprise.

Huo Yumeng also opened her eyes, frowning as she looked over.

The mood being interrupted was very irritating!

It was Bai Xiaosheng who had spoken.

”You’re saying the way I drink is wrong?” Huo Yumeng looked disparagingly at Bai Xiaosheng, scoffed, ”What a joke!”

”You’re just seeking attention. If you say Yumeng is wrong, then tell us, how should one drink!” Qian Haoyu angrily added,

He had drunk as Huo Yumeng instructed, and felt his taste buds were fully satisfied.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled without speaking, walked straight to the bar, and directly concocted a drink with some juice and a type of base liquor, lightly adding just a little of each.

Then, Bai Xiaosheng picked up the glass, downed it in one gulp, and nodded his head.

”Ah, now that’s refreshing. This modified version of ’Encounter’, with its lasting aftertaste, that’s the most beautiful moment.”

”Not dragging it out and prolonging the process!”

Huo Yumeng and others watched, dumbfounded.

Then, Huo Yumeng and Qian Haoyu erupted in anger, unleashing a tirade.

”Nonsense!”

”Utter rubbish!”

”This is blasphemy!”

”Do you even know how to drink this wine!”

”Don’t believe him!”

The two were furious like thunder.

Everyone also looked at Bai Xiaosheng sceptically, thinking how can such a beautiful wine be drunk so crudely.

Many even started to echo the sentiment, accusing Bai Xiaosheng of not knowing how to drink.

Of course, most of those people had already had a drink.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying went over and tried as Bai Xiaosheng had done, their eyes immediately lighting up.

This reaction made quite a few people hesitate.

Jia Dazhuang felt extremely conflicted, clutching his wine glass, not knowing what to do.

”Do you really believe that crude method? Is that the way to drink this fine wine!” Huo Yumeng, seeing many people wavering, suddenly shouted.

The crowd was speechless.

Zhang Yunyao was also at a loss for words.

”I believe!”

Suddenly, from behind the crowd, outside the hall, a voice as clear as a bell chimed in.

”Who, who is talking nonsense!” Huo Yumeng angrily looked over.

Everyone looked.

A group of people ”whooshed” into the hall, led by an exceptionally beautiful woman with a pure and sweet smile, accompanied by Zhang Yudong.

Seeing Zhang Yudong with a stunning, unfamiliar woman, Huo Yumeng instantly felt a surge of jealousy and angrily said, ”You believe? What gives you the right!”

”Shut up, Huo Yumeng, don’t go too far!” Before the woman could respond, Zhang Yudong angrily said, ”Miss Mo Xin is the creator of this wine!”

At that, everyone was shocked.

Huo Yumeng’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the woman called Mo Xin.

The creator of this exquisite wine?

Mo Xin smiled, looking at them, then focused on someone.

”I’m just a modifier, I dare not claim to be the creator,” said Mo Xin, pointing to Bai Xiaosheng, her smile sweeter than ever, ”the man you all are questioning.”

”He is the real creator of this wine!”

At that statement, everyone present was thunderstruck!

Bai Xiaosheng, the creator of this wine?

They were... questioning the creator?!
