Chapter 22-Which Is Better?
Lafite was a world-renowned wine, and the bottle that Clarence took out could be said to be a precious masterpiece. As a congratulatory gift, it was undoubtedly very sincere.
This bottle of red wine made the eyes of many wine lovers shine, including Esther Hilton.
"I like this gift very much. Thank your father for me.”
Esther Hilton said with a smile.
"As long as you like it, Uncle Esther."
Clarence said in a low-key manner, but he was very proud of himself. He could not help but glance at Ivanca, who was standing beside Esther Hilton.
However, to his disappointment, Ivonka was still calm and did not even look at him.
Clarence was a little annoyed by this reaction. He then turned his gaze to Ye Yun, who was standing in the crowd.
After sneering in his heart, he suddenly said,"Mr. Ye Yun, what do you think of our Lafite Manor's wine?”
He actually asked Ye Yun directly.
Everyone in the hall looked at Ye Yun after hearing Clarence's words. Even Ivonka, who had been expressionless all this while, couldn't help but have some fluctuations in his eyes.
Clarence saw this change and was burning with jealousy. He looked at Ye Yun with his sharp eyes.
At this moment, Ye Yun was a little confused. He was just watching from the side. Why was the spearhead suddenly pointed at him?
However, when he saw Clarence's cold gaze, he understood.
"You're sick."
Ye Yun cursed in his heart, but a gentle smile appeared on his face and he said,""This wine is naturally very good, but…"
Before he could finish, Clarence interrupted him and teased,"
"Oh? I didn't expect Mr. Ye to actually praise our winery's wine. Didn't you hire several winemakers in Hawaii to make the best red wine in the world? Why would you be interested in our Lafite winery's red wine?”
At this point, Clarence's intentions had been completely exposed. He had somehow found out about Ye Yun's situation in Hawaii, and now he was openly targeting Ye Yun.
After Clarence's words, everyone's expression changed slightly. There was a moment of silence as they looked at Ye Yun strangely. Some of them even had mocking looks in their eyes.
Make the best red wine in the world? Even the Romanée-Conti Winery, Sycamore Winery, and Bordeaux Winery did not dare to say such a thing!
"What an annoying fly!"
Ivonka glanced at Clarence, her cold face slightly furrowed, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
She had invited Ye Yun to attend the banquet in hopes that he could enter the industry and make his red wine famous. However, she did not expect Clarence to target him like this.
Just as Ivanka was about to speak up to help Ye Yun, Ye Yun spoke first.
"Mr. Clarence, I'm not done yet. I mean, this wine from your winery is indeed good, but I think the red wine produced by my winery is better than yours.”
Ye Yun said with a faint smile. His tone was so calm that it was as if he was stating a fact.
As soon as he said that, the banquet hall was as silent as death. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Most of the people looked at Ye Yun as if they were looking at a lunatic.
Provoking Lafite in public? This time, there was a show to watch.
Even Ivonka didn't expect Ye Yun to say such a thing and covered his mouth in shock.
Although she knew that the rose red wine was excellent, his words were equivalent to challenging the reputation of the entire Lafite Winery!
As expected, Clarence's face darkened. He stared at Ye Yun coldly and said in a stiff tone,"
"Better than our Lafite wine? Heh, you're the first person to say such a thing. I wonder how good the wine in your winery is?”
His tone was filled with unconcealable anger.
Ye Yun, however, didn't seem to have heard it. He reached out and took an exquisite gift box from the waiter beside him. After opening it, he said with a smile,
"Unfortunately, the gift I plan to give Mr. Hilton today is our winery's red wine. Why don't we let Mr. Hilton taste it and see which is better?”
Ye Yun had never thought that Clarence was so cute. He was so considerate to create an opportunity for me to promote myself.
Ye Yun wanted to give him red wine!
Seeing this scene, everyone's interest was piqued. This was really going to be fun.
Therefore, most of their eyes were on Esther Hilton.
Esther Hilton was feeling the same as Ye Yun. She was confused. How did it involve me?
"This…why must you do this…"
Esther Hilton said awkwardly. One was a guest invited by her daughter, and the other was the son of a director of Lafite Manor. No matter who won, it was not good to lose face.
Although he didn't think Ye Yun could win.
However, at this moment, Ivonka suddenly said,""I think this is very good. Why don't you try it, Father?”
She actually supported Ye Yun's proposal!
"My young miss, are you crazy?”
Esther Hilton had a headache, but when he saw the faint smile in Ivonka's eyes, he could only say,""Alright, I'll try it."
"I believe Uncle Esther will make a fair judgment.”
Although Clarence was furious, he still suppressed his anger.
After glaring at Ye Yun fiercely, he walked forward and took out the precious red wine from the box. He first placed the bottle on the flame of the candle at the side, then carefully pulled out the cork with the bottle opener. The waiter at the side quickly handed over the wine cooler.
As the blood-red wine was poured out, an intoxicating fragrance began to spread.
Smelling the fragrance of the wine, many people present revealed intoxicated expressions. Some of the gluttonous ones were already staring at the wine in the bottle.
" As expected of an authentic 1982 Lafite. This fragrance is really charming…"
"I really want to try a cup."
"What a pity. It's such a waste."
………
Clarence was very pleased with the reaction of the crowd. He was not worried about winning the competition at all, but he felt that it was a pity for the bottle of wine.
It was a waste to open a bottle for such a small matter. This bottle of wine could be auctioned off for a million yuan in the outside world.
