4410 The Other Side 379
Gong Jie replied fiercely, "If you want to rob my wine cellar, you'll have to do it over my dead body!"
…
Two hours later.
The seaside, the sunset, the waves.
Barbecue, champagne, and displayed on the other table were the wines that Yun Shishi and Mu Yazhe had looted from Gong Jie's cellar.
Gong Jie slumped weakly onto the beach chair as though he was paralyzed. His eyes were empty as if he had nothing left to live for. The twins watched with heartache, but they did not know how to console him.
Youyou sighed. "How pitiful…"
Little Yichen nodded in agreement. "It is, rather…"
"If I hadn't heard this from Alice, I wouldn't have had a clue that Uncle was so wealthy."
"Sherry from 1775…"
Pop!
Mu Yazhe uncorked the bottle of sherry. A mesmerizing fragrance wafted through the air and the sea breeze carried it to Gong Jie.
The man turned his head resentfully to look at the bottle of sherry that he had hidden for so long. His heart bled so much that he could hardly breathe.
"My Sherry…" Although men do not cry easily, however, at this moment, he could not help tearing up. He had never been in a relationship before and did not know what it felt like to be heartbroken. It was probably as painful as what he was feeling at this moment!
He had fallen out of love…
"Here comes the highlight!" Alice happily trotted up to Mu Yazhe with the goblet and poured out half a glass of dry red wine, but she could not bear to drink it.
Wasn't this a matter of tens of thousands of dollars a sip. The Sherry was Gong Jie's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys - his everything.
At the thought of this, Alice became strangely excited. It was a rare chance to take advantage of Gong Jie.
Alice walked up to Gong Jie. Noticing that he looked rather depressed, she raised her eyebrows in provocation. "Aren't you going to have a drink?"
There were two bottles of Sherry, but so many people. One glass per person, and the bottle quickly ran dry.
Gong Jie glared at her. "Are you very pleased with yourself now?"
"Of course I'm proud to have a chance to taste this Sherry in my lifetime." Alice raised her goblet and smiled in an annoying manner. "There's an old saying—'Life is full of joy'!"
"Indeed, what a 'happy life'!" The man gritted his teeth and stood up from the recliner.
Everyone was drinking except him. Wasn't it a pity?
No way!
He had to drink, and fight to drink more of it. This was his wine to begin with. He had to drink it sooner or later. If he drank it, at least it would be in his own stomach to prevent others from taking advantage of it!
Having thought it through, the man walked over to where Mu Yazhe was, only to see that the actor was milling around him, holding up his goblet. After having two glasses, Hua Jin had felt that the wine was too exquisite, so he had come back for more.
The second bottle of Sherry had been popped. It was already half gone.
Gong Jie was furious when he saw this!
The actor felt a terrifying aura behind him. Turning around, he came face to face with Gong Jie, who was staring at him like a tiger eyeing its prey. He was so unnerved that he burped.
"Who told you you could have so much?!" The man vented his anger on him.
Hua Jin pouted aggrievedly. "I didn't drink that much!" Even if it was the third half-glass, one and a half glasses was not much.
Gong Jie's eyes seemed to be spitting fire. "Enough is enough."
"Hahaha!" For some reason, Yun Shishi was greatly amused by Gong Jie's agonized expression.
"What are you laughing at!"
