Boy, you are the one who blocked me in the toilet!

Hearing that rough voice and the name of the winery he shouted, everyone turned their heads in confusion to look.

They saw a middle-aged man, who looked to be around 50 years old, anxiously pushing his way through the crowd.

Seeing this, the crowd retreated, making way for him.

After the man reached the bottom of the stage, he immediately spotted his daughter, Qing He.

He rushed up and asked, "Daughter, has the tasting started? I'm not late, am I?"

However, what responded to him was Qing He's bewildered expression; she opened her mouth, not knowing where to begin.

Due to his overwhelming anxiety, Liangs Father hadn't paid attention to the situation at the venue.

Only at this moment did he realize there was a strange atmosphere lingering around.

Looking around, he found that everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

The meaning revealed in their eyes was as if they were looking at an idiot!!

This scene made his heart tremble suddenly.

He panicked!

He quickly asked, "Am I too late? Did I miss it?"

Lin Yuan looked at him with a strange expression on his face and calmly replied, "Uncle, are you Qing He's father? The competition is over!"

Hearing this, Liangs Father's mind suddenly jolted, as if a current flashed through him, and his eyes widened!

Then he slowly turned his head, his eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, and he spoke in a deep tone, "Xiao Hu, say that again."

"Huh?" Lin Yuan was a bit confused by the question, "What's wrong? I saw them ignoring you, why are you being so fierce?"

The Photographer also quickly chimed in, "That's right, my brother was helping your family—"

However, before he finished speaking.

Liangs Father suddenly exploded without warning, roaring, "Holy crap! You little brat!! It's you two, I'd remember your voices even if they turned to ash!"

With that, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush up and hit them.

This sudden scene stunned everyone present.

What the heck?

He helped your family win the championship, and you still want to beat him up?

How can someone be so wicked?

For a moment, many people wanted to rush up and help Lin Yuan's team.

"Hey, you're being too unreasonable. You just came up and started hitting people, without even looking at where this is."

"Exactly! Even if you don't like him, you can't hit him. Xiao Hu, I have a daughter who's also pretty; why don't you consider mine?"

"My goodness, you're too cunning. Come to my place; I'll even let you inherit my winery."

Listening to the crowd's discussions, Lin Yuan was utterly bewildered; he didn't know how he had offended Liangs Father.

But even more bewildered was Liangs Father.

He had just rushed up and before he could even act, the first person to block his way was none other than his own daughter!!

Could it be true what the guests were saying, that they had something going on?

What was even more infuriating was that all the guests seemed to be helping Lin Yuan.

What kind of situation was this!

I suffered such a huge grievance, and you guys aren't helping me, but helping him instead? Is there no law, no justice left?

Liangs Father could no longer hold back and completely broke down, cursing loudly, "Why are you all helping him? And daughter, you're helping him too? Do you know what those two did?"

Everyone shook their heads, full of confusion.

"He—they—" Liangs Father pointed at Lin Yuan, trembling with anger, even his voice started to stammer, "They both carried a stepladder, put it in the toilet, and blocked my toilet door so I couldn't push it open."

"But darn it, the toilet paper ran out, and I didn't bring my phone, so I was stuck in the toilet until now, when I finally kicked the door open!"

"I haven't even wiped my butt yet! I couldn't participate in the competition! With a person like that, I don't understand why you're protecting him!"

After hearing Liangs Father's angry rant, a collective gasp swept through the scene.

Everyone's faces showed strange expressions, and they unconsciously stepped back.

Especially those close to Liangs Father, they all retreated several meters.

The expression of disgust was practically written on their faces; some women even covered their mouths and gagged on the spot.

But when they came to their senses, their expressions became very rich.

They clearly remembered that Lin Yuan had entered carrying a ladder, posing as a decorator.

They thought that was already outrageous enough.

But there was something even more outrageous to come?

A ladder blocking someone's toilet door?

That's just too wicked!

No wonder he wants to settle accounts with you now; anyone's sanity would explode if that happened to them, right?

The netizens in the live stream were all laughing hysterically at this point.

"[Popularity] +1+1+1+1"

"[Popularity] +1+1+1+1"

"—[I can't stop laughing, it's truly a coincidence. I understand now. He brought a ladder in to block the door, the real owner couldn't get out, and then Lin Yuan replaced him in the competition and even helped his family win the championship. My god, I'm stunned!]"

"—[It's been over 40 minutes since Lin Yuan came in, right? Good heavens, stuck in the toilet for 40 minutes, no paper, no phone... If it were me, I'd strangle Lin Yuan when I got out!]"

"—[But the problem is, it wasn't intentional. Did you see the ladder fall? I certainly didn't. You can only blame that guy for bad luck. Besides, Lin Yuan has already repaid him. If it were me, I'd be thanking him.]"

"—[Why are things that happen to Lin Yuan always so bizarre? Don't tell me this is also a script. If it is, then I can only say that everyone present is an acting master; those expressions, that anger, can an ordinary person act that out?]"

Lin Yuan finally understood why Liangs Father had looked at him as if they had a mortal feud the moment he saw him.

Who the heck could have imagined this!!

He specifically found a secluded toilet; who knew there was someone inside, who knew the ladder would fall?

But no matter what, he was in the wrong after all, trapping someone inside for so long, he felt a bit guilty.

Lin Yuan looked at Liangs Father and gave an awkward smile, explaining, "Um... Uncle, I really didn't do it on purpose. How was I supposed to know it would fall?"

The Photographer next to him also quickly nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right!"

However, Liangs Father didn't listen to their explanations and remained furious; if looks could kill, those two would have died countless times over.

Finally, Qing He couldn't stand it anymore and miraculously shouted, "Dad!! Calm down!!"

"Let me tell you some good news first: our winery has been selected in the bidding!"

At these words, Liangs Father's expression changed in surprise, his anger instantly dissipated, replaced by astonishment and doubt, and he quickly looked at Qing He, asking, "What happened? I didn't participate in the competition, so how did we get selected?"

Qing He calmly pointed to Lin Yuan, "He replaced our Qinghe Winery in the competition. If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone!"

"Huh?" Liangs Father's mouth fell open; his world seemed to collapse at that moment, and he stood dumbfounded.

Especially when he turned to look around and saw everyone smiling and nodding.

Even Master Liu and the leaders on stage nodded in response simultaneously.

Hiss~~~

After confirming such a result, Liangs Father took a deep breath, his mind buzzing.

The moment he looked at Lin Yuan again, there was no longer any of the previous anger in his eyes; there was only surprise, confusion, anticipation, excitement, nervousness, and exhilaration!

The next second, before anyone could react, he rushed towards Lin Yuan and hugged him tightly!
