Chapter 1861: Water to Wine

“My family is very poor. I believe that even if I gave you a gift, you wouldn’t want much to do with it. My boyfriend said that as the daughter of a first-rate noble family, Miss Shi would not appreciate a small gift. But he did get you a gift of his own. He said that the gift would be from the both of us. I hope Miss Shi doesn’t mind.”

The girl openly admitted to being poor and being unable to buy a gift that Shi Yalin would like. Although this made everyone look down on her even more, the teasing look in the eyes of those trying to make her lose face was now gone.

“Also, because my family is poor, my mother never allowed me to learn the piano. So, I really can’t fulfill Xiao Yaxin’s request for me to play. However, today is indeed Miss Shi’s celebration banquet, and I came empty-handed, so if I don’t perform a talent of mine, I’m afraid that it would be dreadfully rude to Miss Shi.”

With that said, Sze Lingyun looked around. She saw a vase with flowers in it nearby and walked forward to pick it up. She held it in her hands.

She took the flowers out of the vase and threw them onto the ground. Then, she looked inside the vase and poured out a little bit of the water.

“So dirty,” Sze Lingyun said. She looked around and saw a servant coming over with a tray.

There were pastries on the tray. To prevent the tray from getting dirty, there was a napkin between it and the servant’s hand.

Under everyone’s curious gaze, Sze Lingyun borrowed the napkin and wiped the vase with it.

The vase was only eight inches tall, with a base diameter of two and a half inches at the bottom and an opening diameter of one and a half inches. It looked like a gourd.

“Sze Lingyun, why are you wiping a vase when I asked you to show off one of your talents? Don’t tell me you’re trying to wipe this vase clean and give it to Miss Shi as a gift? Are you out of your mind?”

Xiao Yaxin, who looked like a lady from a noble family a moment ago, now could not help but sneer with cheap disdain and ridicule in her eyes.

The crowd burst into laughter at her words.

However, in the next moment, everyone’s laughter abruptly stopped.

That was because Sze Lingyun walked up to Shi Yalin and started pouring the vase over into her wineglass.

A stream of bright red wine flowed out of the vase and into Shi Yalin’s glass. Sze Lingyun poured more wine into her glass, the vase seeming bottomless.

Looking at the wine in her glass, Shi Yalin could not help but raise her eyebrows curiously. The people at the side could not help but exclaim in surprise too.

After all, it had been a vase for arranging flowers. After Sze Lingyun picked it up and threw the flowers away, she poured the water out of it too.

However, she only used a napkin to wipe the vase. She had not poured red wine into the vase from the beginning to the end of her performance. Where had the red wine come from?

Seeing that everyone could not help but exclaim in surprise, even Shi Yalin could not help but quirk her lips up with curiosity. Xiao Yaxin’s heart was particularly upset.

“Hmph, what a dumb trick! Some martial arts trick that is! If you can, come fill up all our glasses with that wine. Then I’ll praise you for being amazing.”

Sze Lingyun walked up to her. “What’s the hurry? Come on, then, one at a time! You’re still finishing off your wine, right, Miss Xiao?”

“That’s right!” Xiao Yaxin glanced at the vase in Sze Lingyun’s hand. Noticing that her hand was not moving, she said, “If you can, pour some of that same wine into my glass.”
