Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Lu Yufei was rebuffed, feeling both angry and jealous, but she still had to put on a smile.

Lin Wanwan ignored her, said a few words to Lin Hao and asked him to take good care of his classmate, then went upstairs to read.

Her time is too precious right now. The classes Zhou Cheng arranged have almost drained all her energy. She doesn't have time to play mind games with these kids.

After Lin Wanwan left, the atmosphere in the living room became a bit tense.

Lin Hao quickly tried to smooth things over: "How about... I take you to the basement to take a look? There's a movie theater and a game room there."

"Great! Great!" Several classmates immediately perked up.

Wang Cong was the first to jump up; he wanted to see just how impressive the entertainment room in this top-tier mansion could be.

The group followed Lin Hao and took the small elevator in the villa down to the basement level.

When the elevator doors opened, everyone was stunned.

The basement level is ridiculously large. On the left is a home theater, decorated like a VIP movie theater, with a huge screen and several rows of plush sofas. On the right is a video game room, filled with all kinds of the latest game consoles.

"Holy crap! A PS5! The disc-based version!" A game enthusiast rushed over, almost crying with excitement. "These things are probably selling for over ten thousand yuan apiece now, right?"

"That's nothing! Look at that!" Wang Cong pointed to a futuristic-looking device in the corner. "A fully immersive VR racing simulator! My dad tried to buy one through connections, but he couldn't! They said it's a limited edition worldwide, and it'd cost seven or eight hundred thousand!"

Seven or eight hundred thousand just to buy a game console?

Several classmates' worldviews were shattered once again.

Lu Yufei wasn't interested in any of that and wandered around aimlessly. Passing through the corridor, she saw a heavy wooden door.

Curious, she pushed open the door, and a blast of cool air mixed with the smell of wood and alcohol rushed out.

Behind the door was a huge underground wine cellar.

Rows of wine racks were filled with red wine. The lighting was dim, and each bottle was covered with a thin layer of dust, looking quite old.

Lu Yufei's father also loves collecting red wine, so she knows a little about it.

She walked in, her gaze sweeping over the wine rack.

Lafite, Margaux, Petrus... these are names you only see in magazines. But here, they're just piled up in rows, as if they're worthless.

Her gaze was finally drawn to a bottle of wine displayed alone in a special showcase at the very back.

The bottle is very ordinary, and the label is handwritten.

Romanée-Conti, 1945…

Lu Yufei translated it using her phone.

Romanée-Conti, 1945.

This name sounds familiar.

She opened her browser and typed it in.

When the search results popped up, she stopped breathing.

A line of bold text popped up on the screen, stinging her eyes.

The 1945 Romanée-Conti, with an extremely limited production of only 600 bottles, is known as "a billionaire's dream." In 2018, a bottle of the 1945 vintage sold for $55.8 at Sotheby's, setting a new world record for the highest price ever paid for a single bottle of wine at auction.

$55.8 million…

Converted to RMB, that's roughly... three million eight hundred thousand?

Lu Yufei's mind went blank for a moment.

She looked at the picture on her phone again, and it was exactly the same as the bottle in front of her.

Three million eight hundred thousand... for a bottle of wine?

Her Panamera, even with all the miscellaneous parts, only cost a little over two million yuan. So, this bottle of water in front of her is twice as expensive as her best car?

This isn't wine, it's gold!

Lu Yufei's legs went weak, and she shakily took out her phone and snapped a picture of the bottle of wine.

She dared not turn on the flash, for fear of startling this incredibly expensive concoction.

She walked out of the wine cellar as if she had lost her soul, while Wang Cong and the others were still making a ruckus in the game room.

"Hey, stop playing around!" Lu Yufei's voice trembled. "Come quick! I've found a treasure!"

"What's all the fuss about? Why are you making such a fuss?" Wang Cong impatiently took off his VR headset.

"Come and see for yourselves!"

Several people followed Lu Yufei, entering the wine cellar with some skepticism.

When Lu Yufei showed them the search results on her phone, the entire wine cellar fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the bottle of Romanée-Conti, their gazes filled with awe and fear.

"Three...three million eight hundred thousand?" Wang Cong stammered, "Is...is this for real?"

"How could it be fake? It's Sotheby's news!" Lu Yufei swallowed hard. "And look, there's more than one bottle here! In the cabinet next to it, there are several other bottles of different vintages of Romanée-Conti!"

The group looked in the direction she pointed and, sure enough, saw several more bottles of the same wine.

How much is this wine cellar worth? A hundred million? Several hundred million?

They dare not think.

"Lin...Lin Hao..." Wang Cong turned his head, looking at Lin Hao who also had a shocked expression, his voice changing, "This...this wine, is it also your brother-in-law's?"

"I think... I guess so." Lin Hao was also stunned.

He knew Zhou Cheng was rich, but he didn't expect him to be this rich. A single bottle of wine was enough to buy several apartments in their hometown.

"Holy crap..." Wang Cong muttered to himself, "Just who is your brother-in-law?"

The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

Several people stood in the wine cellar, barely daring to breathe, afraid of knocking over any shelf and having to sell themselves to pay for it.

"Um... Lin Hao, how about... we go upstairs?" a classmate whispered.

"Yes, yes, let's go up there, this place is too scary."

Just then, a crazy idea popped into Lu Yufei's head.

She looked at Lin Hao, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and urged, "Lin Hao, why don't you... call your brother-in-law and ask? Just ask if we can... have a small sip of this wine?"

"Are you crazy?!" Wang Cong was the first to shout. "This is over three million yuan a bottle! Just one sip? That'd cost tens of thousands!"

"That's right, Lu Yufei, don't get Lin Hao into trouble!"

Lu Yufei ignored them and continued speaking to Lin Hao, "What are you afraid of? Your brother-in-law is so rich, he definitely won't care. Think about it, if you could treat us to a shot of Romanée-Conti, once word gets out, who would dare mess with you at school?"

These words hit Lin Hao right where it hurt.

He hesitated.

On one hand, there's the astronomical price of over three million; on the other hand, there's the readily available prestige.

"But...my brother-in-law..."

"Just make a call and ask, it's not like it'll cost you anything," Lu Yufei continued, stirring things up. "If you're too scared, I'll call for you!"

As she spoke, she reached for Lin Hao's phone.

"No!" Lin Hao gritted his teeth and made up his mind. "I'll do it myself!"

He took out his phone and found the number he had saved but never dared to dial.

The phone rang twice, then it connected.

"Feed?" came Zhou Cheng's calm voice from the other end of the phone.

"Brother-in-law, it's me, Lin Hao." Lin Hao's palms were sweaty with nervousness.

"Um, is something the matter?"

"Well... well... my classmate came over to play, and we... we were in the wine cellar in the basement, and we saw a bottle... a bottle of what's called... Romanée-Conti..." Lin Hao stammered as he explained the situation.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Lin Hao's heart was in his throat; he was prepared to be scolded.

But what Zhou Cheng said next made everyone present freeze in place.

"Oh, that one."

Zhou Cheng spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about a bottle of cola.

"Open it if you want to drink."

"The wine in the cellar is all you can drink. If you finish it, I'll have another batch sent over."

"Just drink it like water, don't be shy."
