The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1645 - 1637: Can You Handle It? (Fifth Update)

Being a friend of Mr. Dongfang Yu and invited here indicates a person of considerable grace.

Mr. Shang Zilan’s words seem straightforward, yet they convey a gentle, breezy elegance.

Prior to this.

He had already noticed Lin Xiaoqing.

However, he was rather discreet, eventually circling around to Qin Kefeng to inquire about Lin Xiaoqing.

Because Lin Tian and Lin Xiaoqing were sitting right next to Qin Kefeng.

It was obvious they might be acquaintances!

"Mr. Shang, this is Lin Xiaoqing, her brother Lin Tian..."

Qin Kefeng noticed Mr. Shang Zilan staring at Lin Xiaoqing, hesitated slightly, then immediately understood and laughed, saying: "Brother Lin Tian, back in the Southern Continent, helped Brother Yu, thus he was invited as well!"

"Hmph, there’s probably some issue, right!"

Tan Liyun, who had been scolded by Lin Tian earlier, was still quite upset and sneered.

The others, who had witnessed the previous confrontation at the door and knew the story, shook their heads dismissively.

Moreover, someone next to Mr. Shang Zilan whispered to him, recounting the earlier incident.

"Leen Yun! It’s over now!"

Tang Ru frowned slightly, tugged at Tan Liyun beside her, and whispered.

It’s dining time; unpleasant matters should be left for later.

"Perhaps the previous matter was a misunderstanding?"

After listening, Mr. Shang Zilan chuckled softly and said, "Regardless, guests are guests; those who come are Brother Yu’s guests! I think Miss Tang would agree?"

"Since they came with Qin Ge, there should be no issues, just a misunderstanding!"

Tang Ru, being quite well-mannered, let go of her earlier vexation and smiled sweetly, saying, "Here, everyone is a guest and a friend! Let’s not bring up unpleasant matters!"

Many others followed with nods.

Those seated here are of high refinement; they wouldn’t sweat the small stuff.

"Miss Lin, may I toast to you?"

At this moment, Mr. Shang Zilan raised his wine glass again, addressing Lin Xiaoqing.

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Xiaoqing.

Some women showed expressions of envy.

Mr. Shang Zilan is leagues beyond Dongfang Yu in comparison!

Yet, with Mr. Shang Zilan’s credentials, he’s considered the cream of the crop in Yanjing!

Countless girls wished to pursue him madly, but they had neither the opportunity nor the standing!

And now, Mr. Shang Zilan seemed to be enamored with Lin Xiaoqing.

However.

Looking at Lin Xiaoqing’s youthful yet indescribable pure beauty, many women present felt a slight gloom.

A person of Mr. Shang Zilan’s level definitely has remarkably high standards!

"Um...Sorry, I don’t know how to drink!"

Facing Mr. Shang Zilan’s somewhat intense gaze, Lin Xiaoqing’s face flushed red, she bit her lip and lowered her head.

"Don’t know how to drink? It’s alright, it’s alright!"

Mr. Shang Zilan shook his head with a smile, pointing to the juice beside him, "You can use this as a substitute!"

Nearby.

Qin Kefeng and Yu Jia also urged her quickly.

This is a great opportunity to know someone, especially Mr. Shang Zilan.

If she could be with him, it would be a step to Qingyun!

Most importantly.

The company under Mr. Shang Zilan has always cooperated with the Dongfang Family, during which he personally worked with Dongfang Yu, showcasing his remarkable ability!

Sitting beside them, Lin Tian observed Mr. Shang Zilan’s warmth without any overly demanding requests and remained unconcerned.

"Alright then!"

Lin Xiaoqing, inherently kind-hearted, knew it was bad to disrespect others’ faces, promptly picking up the juice and taking a sip, "My name is Lin Xiaoqing, please take care of me!"

With that, she set down the juice and sat back down.

Her action stunned everyone.

Mr. Shang Zilan’s face stiffened slightly, his expression a bit embarrassed.

Was such a rude gesture intentional or merely ignorant of etiquette?

Many were bewildered, privately astonished.

The dignified Mr. Shang Zilan wanted to toast to you, yet you casually sipped juice, without even clinking glasses—a complete disregard!

However.

These people did not know Lin Xiaoqing had rarely attended such banquets.

Even in her three years of high school, she only visited a private room twice for fun!

Therefore, she knew nothing of drinking etiquette, believing interactions between people should be real and natural!

"Lin Xiaoqing, what does that mean? Are you looking down on Mr. Shang?"

Tan Liyun, feeling embarrassed, raised her voice directly: "We’re classmates, could you stop embarrassing us! Even if you refuse to toast, don’t insult others like this!"

These words led many others to nod gently in agreement.

Who is Mr. Shang Zilan anyway?

Toasting to you is a privilege, eagerly sought by many!

But Lin Xiaoqing’s actions were utterly disgraceful!

Even if you gave no face by not toasting, Mr. Shang Zilan’s interest in you is your honor!

Yet you toasted nonchalantly, as if sipping juice was an acknowledgment to Mr. Shang Zilan!

Some people’s expressions became unnatural.

Across the table.

Mr. Shang Zilan’s face darkened slightly, yet he managed a small smile without saying anything.

Completely unaware of her mistakes, Lin Xiaoqing felt utterly at a loss.

"Troublesome!"

Yu Jia sighed quietly, shaking his head.

Qin Kefeng immediately turned and spoke kindly, "Xiaoqing, dear sister, give Mr. Shang another toast! It’s alright..."

Clearly, Qin Kefeng is amicable, usually soft-spoken, kind-hearted, playing the mediator.

"Hmph, listen to Qin Ge already!"

Tan Liyun hummed again, shouting to Lin Xiaoqing: "Toast and apologize! Being noticed by Mr. Shang is your fortune! It’s astonishing you don’t understand basic etiquette! But perhaps it makes sense..."

Saying this, Tan Liyun glanced at Mr. Shang Zilan with a look of apology.

"Mr. Shang, she’s my classmate, also from Xiangjiang University, performs excellently, yet comes from the countryside!"

Then, she urged Lin Xiaoqing, "Hurry up now!"

Bang~

Suddenly, a loud bang sounded.

The entire dining table thudded, nearly flipping over.

"Toast? Apologize?"

Lin Tian, sitting nearby, turned completely stern, his expression filled with cold fury, saying: "My sister drinking juice is generous enough! Yet you demand apologies, certain you can bear them?"

At this moment.

Lin Tian was furious!

Causing him trouble was one thing; but troubling his sister Lin Xiaoqing was unacceptable!

His slap on the table left many shocked.

His final comments left everyone at the table bewildered.
