Li Chunyan crashed onto the table, feeling a buzzing sensation in her head and experiencing dizziness.
She couldn't even manage to get up. Her vision turned dark, and her eyes wouldn't open. Blood was flowing from her ears.
The food and dishes on the table splattered all over her, making her look particularly disheveled.
The old lady, Li Hong, Li Mei, and the others were all stunned by the scene.
The audience in the room was equally shocked.
No one had expected that Wang Chao would return just to physically assault someone.
For a moment, no one reacted.
"That slap was for Wang Baoyu!" Wang Chao's gaze was cold as he spoke slowly, "If you dare to spread baseless rumors again, I'll rip your mouth apart!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Once he was gone, the people in the room regained their senses.
"Damn it, Wang Chao has gone too far!" Li Mei erupted in anger.
The old lady and Li Hong also had unpleasant expressions on their faces.
Wang Chao publicly slapped Li Chunyan, but in doing so, he also slapped their faces, leaving them humiliated. The joy they felt about immigrating earlier had disappeared without a trace, replaced by frustration, anger, and resentment.
However, they couldn't retaliate against Wang Chao at the moment.
After all, they hadn't obtained the jade stone yet. If they were to confront Wang Chao publicly now, it would be even less likely for Li Han to give them the stone.
"Damn it! Once we get our hands on the jade stone, I won't let him off!" Li Hong stared at Wang Chao's retreating figure, gritting his teeth with a fierce and hateful gaze.
"It's just a stroke of luck that they obtained a jade stone, and yet they act so arrogantly?" The old lady's eyes were cold as well.
In their view, Li Han and Wang Chao's family had simply stumbled upon good fortune and found a precious jade stone. They had no background or power.
Once they had the jade stone in their possession, they would find a way to kill Wang Chao!
"Damn it! How dare he hit me like that? I'm going to kill him!" Li Chunyan finally regained consciousness at this moment. Enduring the pain, she sat up, her eyes bloodshot as she yelled in anger.
Being publicly beaten by Wang Chao had left Li Chunyan humiliated. If she didn't seek revenge, how could she continue living within the family?
"Enough, stop embarrassing yourself and shut up. Eat your food obediently!" the old lady reprimanded.
Li Chunyan immediately fell silent.
At that moment, the hotel manager walked in with a smile on his face. Behind him were twenty waiters, each carrying a tray with an expensive bottle of Romantico di Conte wine.
The manager, brimming with enthusiasm, said, "Excuse me, who among you is in charge?"
Li Hong stepped forward, puzzled, and asked, "That would be me. What's the matter?"
"Our boss specifically sent these wines for you as a gift, wishing you a great time," the manager said with a smile.
After speaking, he signaled to the waiters, who promptly placed the wine bottles on the table.
"These are Romantico di Conte wines. Take a look—they have vintages from 1992 and 1993. These are collector's items, especially the 1992 vintage, which has long been sold out and is now worth over 200,000 RMB per bottle."
"The 1993 and 1994 Romantico di Conte wines are also quite valuable, with their aged vintages in high demand. They're worth around 100,000 RMB per bottle."
"With so many bottles here, conservatively speaking, they're worth over 2 million RMB. This boss is really generous."
"To think that they could have the Hilton hotel owner send such expensive wine. Wow, the Li family has a lot of face."
"I think it's not just the Li family's face; it's the old lady's face after all. She is the true leader of the Li family."
Upon seeing the wine, those present who recognized its value immediately exclaimed in astonishment.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm These wines were true luxury items, costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars per bottle. They're truly extravagant!
At that moment, everyone looked at the old lady, Li Hong, and the others with envy and jealousy.
To receive such expensive wine from the owner of the Hilton hotel, the Li family was indeed extraordinary.
The old lady and Li Hong were also surprised by the situation.
Were these wines really meant for them?
However, they didn't even know the owner of the Hilton hotel, so why would he send wine to them?
"Are you sure it's for us?" Li Hong asked with some uncertainty.
"Is there someone named Wang Anguo among you?" the manager asked.
"Wang Anguo?"
The old lady, Li Mei, and Li Hong were all taken aback.
Seeing their reaction, the manager furrowed his brows slightly and scanned everyone before asking, "Excuse me, who among you is Wang Anguo?"
The boss called and said to deliver the wine to the Wang Anguo family.
He had initially thought that Wang Anguo was the host of the banquet, but apparently, that wasn't the case.
After looking around and receiving no response, the manager instantly understood the situation. He took out his phone and called Zhao Kun, saying, "Mr. Zhao, it seems that Wang Anguo is not present. Should we still deliver the wine?"
Outside the hotel, Zhao Kun sat in his car with the air conditioning on. When he heard the news, he furrowed his brows.
Just as he was about to speak, he immediately saw Wang Anguo, Li Han, and the others storming out of the hotel entrance, their expressions grim. He said, "Cancel the delivery and retrieve all the wine."
"And, find out who the main person in charge is over there and give him a slap!"
Having been in this line of work for a long time, Zhao Kun had developed a strong ability to read people's expressions. At a glance, he could tell that Wang Anguo's family was unhappy, most likely because they had been bullied by the Li family, which had left them feeling wronged.
Thus, he wanted to stand up for Wang Anguo's family.
Inside the private room at the hotel:
Upon hearing the conversation on his phone, the manager's expression turned cold, and he said, "Everyone listen up, cancel the wine delivery and take it back."
"Uh..."
Li Hong's expression changed, and his face darkened as he asked, "Manager, what do you mean by this? Are you playing with us?"
"Are you Li Hong, the person in charge here?" the manager asked.
"Yes, that's me. Manager, you..." Li Hong was about to continue questioning.
Slap!
The manager didn't waste time on idle talk and immediately slapped Li Hong, causing him to cough up blood and fall to the ground. He felt dizzy and could not get up for a while.
"Our boss said that these fine wines are meant for Mr. Wang Anguo to enjoy. You bunch of worthless swine do not deserve to drink them."
"And this slap is also for Wang Anguo!"
"You blind beasts!"
The manager gave a cold glance at Li Hong, the old lady, and the others, saying, "As the manager here, I'll give you twenty minutes to pack up and leave immediately!"
"If you exceed this time limit, do not blame me for being impolite."
After issuing the ultimatum, the manager turned around and left.
The waiters also took away the wine and followed suit, leaving the group of people stunned in their place.
The expressions of the old lady and Li Mei were particularly grim.
First, they sent someone to deliver the wine, and now they had someone attack Li Hong.
It was humiliation!
Naked and blatant humiliation!
Especially for the old lady, her teeth clenched, she tightened her fists, and angrily said, "Wang Anguo, Li Han, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
"Fine, fine, fine. I'll bear in mind this grudge. Once we obtain the Jade, I will make sure to kill both of you!"
