Chapter 406: Accepting the Invitation

It was far too much to use Romanee Conti at such a gathering.
Recalling the expressions of the three people just now, a speculation was about to come out.
Bai Yun suddenly chuckled. He crossed his arms and looked at Gu Rou, agreeing to her request.
“Sure. Coincidentally, I haven’t seen the real Romanee Conti yet.”
Gu Rou did not expect Bai Yun to agree to her invitation. She immediately smiled and immediately put on the posture of a young lady from a wealthy family. She looked at Bai Yun affectionately.
However, Bai Yun did not have the time to pay attention to her gaze. He wanted to see if the bottle of Romanee Conti was his.
Why would someone from a small family like the Gu family open a bottle of Romanee Conti at a banquet like this?
Actually, Bai Yun already had an idea, but before he confirmed it, he decided to investigate.
When they arrived at the door of the private room, they could hear the laughter of the men and women inside.
Pushing open the door of the private room, the voices inside immediately stopped. Everyone looked curiously in Bai Yun’s direction.
This group of people did not know Bai Yun, so when they suddenly saw him, they only sighed at his handsomeness and did not have any other thoughts.
At this moment, Gu Rou walked out from behind Bai Yun. Her face was filled with joy. She could already imagine the surprise and envy on this group of people’s faces after knowing Bai Yun’s identity.
She could not suppress the smile on her lips, but she still pretended to be calm and introduced Bai Yun’s identity.
“This is Bai Yun from the Bai family. Young Master Bai, these are my high school classmates.”
As expected, as soon as he said that, the private room fell silent, leaving only the sound of music. Everyone was shocked.
One of the girls reacted and pointed in Bai Yun’s direction. She said in disbelief, “Young Master Bai!”
The expression in the girl’s eyes made the corners of Gu Ron’s mouth curl up even more. She even had the urge to hold Bai Yun’s arm directly, but she did not do so because of the reservedness in her heart. Instead, she looked at Bai Yun beside her.
However, Bai Yun only stared in one direction. She followed that gaze and realized that it corresponded to a boy.
Gu Rou was puzzled. Could it be that these two people knew each other?
However, the boy’s face was filled with shock and envy. The two of them did not look like they knew each other.
Bai Yun still did not know that he had been misunderstood. He only looked at the Romanee Conti on the table. However, the logo on the bottle was not in his direction. He could not tell if it was real or fake just by relying on the bottle. For a moment, Bai Yun regretted his impulsiveness. If he had known earlier, he would have called Gu Man over. She could have helped him distinguish it.
But it was too late now. He could only raise his feet and pretend to walk to the table casually.
As he moved, the person sitting on the sofa immediately stood up and held his breath. He had no idea what Bai Yun was planning to do.
When had they ever met people from the four great clans? They did not expect Gu Rou to be so capable that she could actually come into contact with the four great families.
Bai Yun immediately picked up the Romanee-Conti on the table and observed the year on it.
If it was within those six years, then it could prove that Gu Rou did not steal this bottle of wine. However, if it was not, then this bottle of wine would be very suspicious.
Although the others did not understand Bai Yun’s actions, none of them spoke and only looked at him.
However, as Bai Yun picked up the Romanee Conti, Gu Ron’s heart tightened for some reason. She forcefully suppressed it and tried her best to maintain the smile on her face.
Bai Yun rubbed the year on it and his heart sank.
It was Romanee Conti produced in 1940. He did not believe that Gu Yuan would be so generous as to use this wine at such a small class reunion just to give Gu Rou face.
Needless to say, such a thing was impossible.
At this moment, Gu Rou had already arrived beside Bai Yun. She looked at him and sized up the Romanee Conti in his hand. She thought that he was very interested in this bottle of red wine and could not help but smile smugly. She explained with a smile, “Young Master Bai, are you also interested in red wine? This is the red wine I’ve been keeping here. It’s just that I opened it on a whim with my friends today. Young Master Bai is lucky to have such a good opportunity..”
