Feng Qing and the others stared wide-eyed, their smug smiles mixed with the wine streaming down their faces, completely stunned.
The crowd, who had been leisurely watching the spectacle amidst clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, suddenly fell silent...
A few seconds later, Feng Qing looked down at herself as if waking from a dream, pointing at Gong Ning with disbelief, her lips trembling with anger, and shouted, "Gong Ning! You've gone too far!"
Gong Ning's lips curled slightly, her dark pupils shifted, and she bent down to pick up the decanter bottle beside her. With her eyes narrowed, she spoke in a low voice, "Believe it or not, if you say another word, I'll let each of you experience firsthand what a wine bath is like?"
As he spoke, he casually shook the wine bottle, causing the crystal-clear red wine to ripple gently.
"You dare!" Feng Qing froze for a few moments, then stood up angrily, glaring at her fiercely. "Who do you think you are, Gong Ning? If it weren't for Brother Jingzhou, would you be qualified to stand here? Do you really think that a sparrow can become a phoenix just by flying onto a branch? Don't you even know your own worth!"
Gong Ning's dark eyes narrowed, and she suddenly looked down at the decanter bottle in her hand.
With a slight curve of her eyebrows and a hint of cold sarcasm in the corners of her eyes, her eyes gradually revealed a hint of mockery.
I simply sat down, picked up a wine glass filled with red wine, and poured the wine down the long, slender neck of the decanter, glass by glass.
His movements were casual and languid, with a hint of playfulness.
When Feng Qing saw her suddenly sit down and silently pour wine, he assumed she had chickened out.
Thinking this, Feng Qing took the handkerchief handed to him by a waiter and wiped his face, his chin raised arrogantly.
Speaking to Gong Ning in a condescending, almost condescending tone, he said, "Today is Uncle Yan's birthday banquet, and I don't want to make a big deal out of it. How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. Just bow and apologize to us, but..."
Feng Qing, with a smile in his eyes, suddenly pointed to Shen Yuchen beside him, "But you, Shen Yuchen, have to kneel down for us, kowtow... and apologize!"
These words caused a stir among the crowd, who began to discuss the matter.
They felt that Feng Qing's request was really excessive, but everyone wisely kept quiet and looked at Shen Yuchen in unison.
The gazes that came from all directions carried sympathy and regret, but even more so, a gloating look of detached indifference...
Seeing that Gong Ning was still looking down and slowly picking up the wine glass to pour wine, Shen Yuchen also sat on the sofa with her head down and did not speak.
Feng Qing and the others exchanged a smile. "Hey, you two, hurry up! Stop dawdling. We're waiting for you to apologize and change. Oh, speaking of which, I just remembered, all of our evening gowns are custom-made and quite expensive. Let's reimburse each other for the cost of the gowns too, but..."
"How much?"
A cool, languid voice suddenly interrupted her. Gong Ning looked down at the wine decanter bottle, which was filled to the brim, and smiled with satisfaction.
Not getting angry at not hearing a response, she patiently asked again, "So, how much did that evening gown you praised to the skies actually cost?"
Feng Qing snapped out of his slight astonishment, chuckled, and made an outrageous demand without hesitation, "There are five of us in total. You ruined five haute couture gowns, each worth two million, totaling ten million for all five of us. But considering your Miss Gong's impoverished background, I'll be merciful and give us eight million..."
"OK!"
Feng Qing was surprised that she agreed so quickly, and then smiled disdainfully.
If you don't have money, you don't have money. Why pretend to be rich here?
Whether she'll cooperate or not depends on her willingness to act!
"I want you to pay me back right now. Who knows if you'll just use Brother Jingzhou to fool me after the banquet!"
Gong Ning blinked and nodded patiently, "Okay!"
Feng Qing smiled smugly, "Alright, come on, I'm ready. Neither of you have apologized to me yet! And you, Shen Yuchen, what are you standing there for..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sudden, intense, damp chill wash over him.
Feng Qing froze, staring at Gong Ning who was right in front of him, "You actually..."
Gong Ning smiled leisurely and said in a relaxed tone, "So, are you going to continue?"
"Ah! Gong Ning, you, you bitch! How dare you treat me like this, ah!"
Feng Qing was soaking wet. Her carefully styled hair was now sticking to her face, making her look like a female ghost who had been pulled out of the water.
She angrily tried to snatch the decanter from Gong Ning's hand, "Gong Ning, you lowly, shameless bitch, I'm going to teach you a lesson today..."
"Smack!"
Feng Qing's face twisted, and a burning pain shot through her the next moment. She stared wide-eyed at the nonchalant Gong Ning opposite her, "You..."
Gong Ning smiled slightly at her, then raised her hand and slapped her again.
"Smack!"
Then he casually withdrew his hand and stared at her intently.
A hint of amusement flickered in his bright eyes, as if to say, "So what if I hit you?"
Feng Qing's eyes reddened with anger, her clothes, soaked with red wine, revealed her curves, and her heaving chest rose and fell with rage.
Seeing the amused smile in Gong Ning's eyes, she suddenly grinned and burst into tears, "Mom and Dad, someone bullied me! I was bullied, waaaah—"
She turned to leave, wailing, but Gong Ning suddenly grabbed her arm. "Why are you running? I haven't apologized to you yet! Come on, stand here, and I'll apologize to you properly!"
Gong Ning weighed the heavy decanter in her hand, then suddenly raised it above Feng Qing's head and poured it over him.
The surroundings fell silent instantly...
The silence lasted only a moment before the girl's soft, slightly timid voice rang out, "Miss Feng Qing, I am extremely sorry for spilling red wine on you. So, on my behalf, I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry!"
As soon as Gong Ning finished speaking, the red wine in the decanter was emptied at the same time.
Everyone: "!!!!"
Feng Qing: "!!!!"
This small sofa area was plunged into a deathly silence.
Feng Qing was so angry that he trembled. He wanted to resist, but Gong Ning grabbed his arm and prevented him from moving.
It hurt so much that she gradually lost strength in her restrained arm.
"So, Miss Feng, are you satisfied with my apology?"
Gong Ning glanced lightly at the false eyelashes that had fallen off her face as the wine washed away, then her gaze met the woman's angry stare with a hint of coldness in her dark eyes.
That seemingly casual glance snapped Feng Qing back to reality. The Gong Ning before him was not as soft and easily bullied as she appeared.
Feng Qing suddenly shivered, a chill gradually rising from the soles of his feet and spreading to his limbs and bones...
