Xiao Tian instantly stopped what he was doing and turned his head towards the source of the sound. When he found out that the voice belonged to Su Lique, he immediately asked, “Director Su, what do you mean by that?”
He was shocked after hearing her words, but what made him curious was how did she know the waiter put something in the drink?
Su Lique walked towards Xiao Tian and repeated her words, “I saw him putting something in these drinks. I think it’s an aphrodisiac.”
Because he had helped Su Lique once, he knew that she would not lie to him. Xiao Tian’s face instantly darkened and stared at the waiter coldly. “Is what she said true?”
The feeling of deep worry instantly emerged within the waiter’s heart. However, he was still trying his best to stay calm. “No, sir. These drinks have no aphrodisiac. We just opened it from the bottle earlier.”
The waiter tried to make Xiao Tian believe that the drinks didn’t have aphrodisiac in it.
“Really?” of course, Xiao Tian didn’t believe the waiter’s words because there was a possibility that the waiter was lying to him. “Drink it!”
Because he wanted to make sure the drinks had no aphrodisiac, he wanted the waiter to drink it.
He would know whether the drinks have aphrodisiac or not because if the drinks didn’t have aphrodisiac, the waiter would dare to drink it. But vice versa, if there were an aphrodisiac in drinks, the waiter would not dare to drink it.
“It’s him again.”
“What is it this time?”
“I don’t know.”
“Sigh! This young man is really something. Earlier, he almost had a fight with Mr Geng Tai, and now he is causing trouble again.”
“Why was someone like him allowed to attend this banquet?”
“I heard the Qing family does not invite him. It’s his woman who got invited.”
“What? Really?”
“Yes. I heard it with my own ears.”
“Tch! So he is nobody.”
“And he still dares to cause trouble?! Didn’t he afraid the Qing family members will kick him out later?”
“Does he think he is awesome just because the Qing family invites his lover?”
One by one, the guests began to speak ill of Xiao Tian. Earlier, when Xiao Tian almost had a fight with Geng Tai, they decided not to do anything to him.
However, because Xiao Tian was causing trouble again, they could not endure it and began to speak ill of him.
Of course, Xiao Tian heard what they were saying. However, because someone wanted to cause trouble to him, Xiao Tian decided to ignore them.
That was why he wanted to know who was the mastermind behind all of this. “What’s wrong? Because you said these drinks have no aphrodisiac, you don’t need to be afraid to drink it. Isn’t that right?”
Because the drink indeed had aphrodisiac, the waiter didn’t dare to drink it. “Sir, this is..”
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Tian looked at the waiter coldly. “I said drink it!”
When Dong Chang saw Xiao Tian angry, he walked towards Xiao Tian and spoke, “Please calm down, Mr Xue. Maybe he is forced to do this.”
Xiao Tian instantly turned his head towards Dong Chang. However, he said nothing and only stared at him for about three seconds before returning his attention to the waiter.
“Waiter, please forgive my friend. He is furious because someone wants to cause trouble to him.” Dong Chang spoke when he was in front of the waiter. “Please tell us, who is the mastermind behind this? Who wants to cause trouble to my friend here? Don’t be afraid. we will protect you later.”
Upon hearing Dong Chang’s words, the waiter began to calm down. “He is….”
However, he was still afraid to tell them who was the mastermind behind all of it.
At this time, Qing Feng and Qing Xiulan walked towards Xiao Tian and the others. When they were next to Xiao Tian, Qing Feng suddenly spoke, “What Mr Dong said is true. You don’t need to be afraid because nothing will happen to you later. Just tell us, who is the mastermind behind all of this. You do know that everyone here is my guests, right? So, I don’t want anything to happen at my family banquet.”
“Whoa! As expected of Mr Qing Feng.”
“Yes. He is really kind.”
“I agree with you.”
“He even isn’t angry when someone tries to cause trouble at his banquet.”
“The Qing family really has great successors.”
“Yes. You are right.”
When everyone saw Qing Feng’s kind behavior, they began to praise him. They were sure if it were someone else, they would have been angry.
However, Qing Feng was different. Not only did he not angry, but he even smiled and spoke calmly to the waiter.
“This is…” even though Qing Feng said something like that, but the waiter was still wavering whether he should tell the truth or not.
When Qing Xiulan saw the expression on the waiter’s face, she immediately spoke, “Don’t worry. I promise you with the name of the Qing family that nothing will happen to you later.”
Actually, Xiao Tian wanted to grab the drink and force the waiter to drink it earlier, but because Qing Feng and Qing Xiulan had said something like that, he decided not to do that.
Of course, he still stared at the waiter coldly. He even wanted to beat the waiter too. In his dictionary, anyone who dared to try to cause trouble to him should be punished.
When Lan Ruoxi saw the expression on Xiao Tian’s face, she immediately spoke, “Yang, please control yourself. I know that someone wants to cause trouble to you, but letting out your anger now is not a wise decision.”
Xiao Tian instantly turned his head toward her. Even though he agreed with her words, but he was still angry with the waiter.
At this moment, Geng Tai’s lips curled into a smirk. He was watching everything from behind Xiao Tian.
When Xiao Tian realized something, he instantly turned his head towards Su Lique and asked, “Director Su, because you know he put something in these drinks. You must know who is the mastermind behind all this, right? Can you tell me who that person is?”
Upon hearing Xiao Tian’s words, everyone turned their heads towards Su Lique. They also wanted to know who was the mastermind behind all of this.
“I don’t know who is the mastermind behind all of this because I only saw him putting something in all of these drinks.” Su Lique said as she pointed her index finger towards the waiter.
Because Su Lique didn’t know who was the mastermind, everyone returned their attentions to the waiter.
“Tell me now!” Xiao Tian spoke coldly. “Otherwise I will make you drink it later.”
When Xiao Tian threatened him, the expression of fear began to appear on the waiter’s face. He knew if he drank the wine, his life would end.
He was from a lower-class family and had to work hard to continue living. Not only would he not be able to find any work in Beijing again, but he would also become a laughing stock later.
Actually, he didn’t want to do that, but because the mastermind threatened him, he had no choice but to do that.
As long as he could make Xiao Tian drink it, the mastermind would give him a lot of money and send him to another city.
With that money, he could live without working for about thirty years. And if he opened a small shop and lived economically, it would be enough to live until he died.
However, if he failed his mission, he had no idea whether the mastermind would still protect him and give him money or not. For this reason, the waiter still didn’t say anything.
Xiao Tian was annoyed when the waiter said nothing. “Tell me now, or else you will regret it!”
“You should tell us who is the mastermind or else I will lose face later. You don’t want to be my enemy, right?” Qing Feng had no choice but to threaten the waiter.
Because Qing Feng said something like that, the waiter was scared. “He is…”
The Qing Family was one of the most influential families in Beijing, so naturally, the waiter didn’t want to become enemies of the Qing family.
The waiter didn’t finish his words, but he looked at someone. Everyone instantly turned their heads towards the person the waiter was staring at.
When they saw that person, everyone was shocked.
