Chapter 396 - 183: 82-Year-Old Lafite..._2

Although he already had an answer in mind, Gu Heng still looked at Ouyang Nana, who was savoring the wine, with a smile. He set his wine glass down and spoke with a light smile, "How is it? Can you taste whether it’s real or fake?"

Ouyang Nana came back to reality upon hearing this, her delicate face showing a hint of inexplicable flush. Her red lips, stained with wine, became even more tender as they moved slightly, "Honestly, this is my first time drinking ’82 Lafite, so I can’t really distinguish whether it’s real or fake. However, I’ve had quite a bit of red wine before and none of them can compare to this one, so I think there’s a high probability that this wine is indeed a real ’82 Lafite. What do you think? Is it real or fake?"

At the end, she turned the question back to Gu Heng. Find more to read on Freewebnovel

Gu Heng just shrugged his shoulders, his tone teasing, "I’m like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, I swallowed it without even tasting anything. How can I tell if it’s real or not?"

"Then even if it’s fake it might as well be real, looks like we can’t get this meal for free~"

Ouyang Nana knew Gu Heng was joking, so she responded playfully.

Gu Heng laughed, "That won’t do. Today, I must taste and find out whether it’s real or fake."

After saying this, he snapped his fingers at the restaurant manager, who was standing by with a humble smile, "Another bottle of ’82 Lafite, please."

Upon hearing Gu Heng’s request, the restaurant manager quickly replied, "I’m really sorry Mr. Gu, but our stock of ’82 Lafite is quite limited. Our restaurant has always offered it as part of the chef’s menu for our customers. If you really like this red wine, I can offer to change your post-dinner wine to the same ’82 Lafite. However, if you would like to purchase a bottle...

I’m truly sorry...

It’s really difficult for us to accommodate..."

Gu Heng frowned immediately upon hearing this and glanced sidelong at the manager.

Ever since he acquired the system, there wasn’t anything money could buy that he hadn’t gotten his hands on. And now they were telling him that he couldn’t buy a bottle of wine with his money?

There were loads of Michelin-starred restaurants in Geneva; with money, he could be treated like a deity anywhere.

As for this establishment, plain and simple, they were spoiled by a group of people willing to reserve a table 45 days in advance just to sample the high society cuisine; but Gu Heng had no interest in indulging their behavior.

Now, hearing what the manager said, Gu Heng couldn’t be bothered with the hassle and nodded, "Then go ahead."

"Thank you Mr. Gu."

As the restaurant manager hurried away, Ouyang Nana couldn’t help but ask, "Gu Heng, what did the restaurant manager just refuse you?"

Huh?

Gu Heng looked at her in surprise, "You understood that?"

He had been speaking in French with the restaurant manager, which supposedly Ouyang Nana shouldn’t understand.

"I had several French classmates when I was studying at Berklee College of Music; they taught me some daily French phrases. Although I can’t speak fluently, sometimes I can understand a bit. Did the restaurant manager refuse your request to buy a bottle of ’82 Lafite just now?"

Gu Heng didn’t hide the truth and nodded.

Ouyang Nana consoled him, "Although I don’t know the value of ’82 Lafite, it must be quite high if the restaurant can’t sell it."

"I just have a bad habit; when I want something, I really want to get it. Today, I must have a taste of that ’82 Lafite."

People do change.
