An unexpected accident!
A moment later, Lin Yuan returned to his previous seat.
After what just happened, he felt very embarrassed.
He had a Sommelier skill given by the system, and in terms of professionalism, that was definitely no joke.
He had to be serious and show his true level to reclaim some face.
Qing He saw Lin Yuan return and greeted him, even specially preparing a new glass for him and pouring a little red wine into it.
This time, she did not fill it up.
Lin Yuan also consciously did not cause trouble, picking up the red wine to prepare for tasting.
But just as he smelled it, before he even had a chance to drink.
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing gasp came from beside him.
Ah~~~
Swish swish swish~~~
This scream seemed to possess a magical power, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present, who looked over curiously.
Lin Yuan turned his head, and the scene before him stunned him.
A woman in a white gown stood there, her face pale, her lips tightly pressed, clearly furious to the extreme.
Looking closely, at her chest, the white gown was soaked with a large patch of red wine, appearing particularly glaring.
And opposite her stood a waiter, continuously apologizing with a red wine bottle in his hand, his face full of panic and unease.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Sorry? Not on purpose?” Hearing the waiter’s apology, the woman’s mood did not alleviate; instead, she became even more agitated.
Her voice involuntarily rose by several decibels, filled with anger and dissatisfaction, as she pointed at the waiter and cursed, “If I beat you to death and then say sorry to you, would it be useful?”
“I was walking perfectly fine, and you suddenly turned and bumped into me. Weren’t you watching where you were going? You spilled red wine all over me. In this kind of setting, you wouldn’t think I brought two outfits, would you?”
The waiter was scolded into lowering his head, not daring to reply. Under the gaze of so many people, he didn’t even know where to put his feet.
He knew he was in the wrong, so to appease the situation, he braced himself and replied, “I’m sorry, if it’s really not possible, I’ll compensate you for an outfit.”
Hearing this, the woman laughed, a mocking kind of laugh: “Compensate? You? Can you afford it? Do you know how much this dress of mine costs?”
“It’s a limited edition! A limited edition!”
“30,000 yuan, pay up!”
After speaking, she extended her hand forward, her gaze like one looking down at ants.
When the waiter heard the price of 30,000 yuan, his face instantly turned pale, and his whole body involuntarily trembled. The red wine bottle in his hand also trembled more and more violently.
30,000 yuan, for a waiter like him, he couldn’t earn that much in half a year.
Just accidentally spilling a little red wine, and he had to pay so much money—this was simply an unexpected disaster.
Looking at the waiter’s pale face, the woman showed no sign of restraint, continuing to mock, “Pay up, didn’t you boast that you’d pay? So many people are watching.”
At some point, two men appeared beside the woman, seemingly ready to back her up.
The waiter’s heart was almost stopped by this immense pressure.
But what could he do?
Continuing to apologize was useless.
Paying money, he truly couldn’t produce it, so he could only respond with silence.
But the more he did this, the more arrogant the woman became, and the more fiercely she cursed.
She turned the originally high-end and elegant tasting event into a chaotic mess, full of vulgar language.
Finally, some onlookers couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward to say a few good words for the waiter to ease the situation.
“Beautiful lady, how about we let it go? It’s not easy for him to work, and it’ll be fine after washing, right?”
However, no sooner had he spoken than he was immediately retorted: “None of your business? You want to be a good Samaritan, then you come and help him pay, 30,000, hand it over.”
“You’re unreasonable!!”
The well-meaning man could only slink away. Even if he had money, he wouldn’t pay 30,000 just for saying a few good words.
The others, seeing this, could only stand on the periphery and point fingers.
“Ugh, what a buzzkill!”
“Where did that shrew come from? He already apologized, and she’s still talking so harshly.”
“One should be lenient when possible. It’s just a little spilled wine, why hold onto it so tightly?”
Facing everyone’s accusations, the woman’s anger grew even stronger.
She immediately put one hand on her hip and pointed at everyone with the other, spewing profanities, spitting everywhere, enacting a scene of battling a crowd with her tongue.
Her posture and the words coming from her mouth formed a strong contrast with the gown she was wearing.
Don’t say.
Her arguing skills were indeed impressive; she managed to silence everyone.
Mainly, they felt it was unnecessary. Arguing with such a shrew was a complete waste of time, just asking for trouble.
Looking at the silent crowd, the woman was arrogant, as if she had won a battle.
Fortunately, at this moment, the organizer couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped in to mediate, which finally stopped the argument.
However, when it came to how to resolve the issue, a problem arose.
The woman insisted that the waiter must pay her 30,000 yuan, and if he didn’t have the money, he couldn’t leave today.
This was not solving a problem; it was clearly seizing a sheep and fleecing it to death.
But the problem was, it was indeed the waiter who accidentally turned and spilled the wine. She had a point, and there was nothing they could do.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Lin Yuan couldn’t stand it anymore.
Under the Photographer’s bewildered gaze, he put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked to the center of the crowd.
Looking at the waiter who was bowing his head in silence, he remembered that he had served him a plate of dessert earlier.
Lin Yuan came to the waiter’s side, smiled, patted his shoulder, and calmly said, “Can you tell me how you spilled the wine on this lady just now?”
Everyone looked at Lin Yuan, who had suddenly appeared, a little confused, and all curiously sized him up.
The waiter looked up, opened his mouth, and recalled as he spoke, “I was pouring wine for the guests over here. After pouring, I turned to leave, and as soon as I turned, I happened to bump into her.”
“Oh?” Lin Yuan’s expression froze upon hearing this: “Did you see the wine spill on her with your own eyes?”
Hearing this, the woman beside him immediately became displeased and retorted, “What do you mean? He already admitted he bumped into me. If this wine wasn’t spilled by him, then who was it?”
Lin Yuan completely ignored her, not even looking at her.
The waiter shook his head in confusion: “I was too nervous after bumping into her at the time. I instinctively wanted to dodge and didn’t even pay attention to look.”
“I think… the wine must have been spilled by me.”
“Did you hear that? He admitted it, and you’re still asking!” The woman shouted triumphantly when she heard the waiter admit it.
But Lin Yuan smiled and patted the waiter’s shoulder, saying softly, “Don’t be afraid, that wine wasn’t spilled by you.”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Lin Yuan, completely unable to understand what he meant by that statement.
Isn’t it obvious?
Even a fool could see that the wine on the woman’s body was spilled by the waiter.
But you came up, asked a few questions, and then said it wasn’t him? Why?
For a moment, many people looked at Lin Yuan as if he were an idiot.
Although they were very dissatisfied with the woman’s rude attitude, facts were facts, which was why they couldn’t do anything about the woman.
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Lin Yuan smiled faintly, his expression undisturbed.
Instead, he turned his head and said to the organizer, “I’m helping you solve the problem right now. Can you get me two clean white cloths? They don’t need to be big, just palm-sized will do.”
The manager pondered for a few seconds upon hearing this, then nodded and instructed the staff nearby, “Hurry and get two white cloths.”
“Okay!”
At this moment, everyone was curious about what Lin Yuan was up to and why he wanted white cloths.
No one noticed the fleeting look of panic on the woman’s face.
