Rexham left with his subordinates in a fit of anger. From the beginning to the end, he did not even have a taste of the food there.
Xiao Lingyu tugged on Gong Tianhao's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Hubby, is it okay to offend him like this?"
After all, Gong Tianhao had invited him over because of his influence and background in that country.
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, "It's fine."
Speaking up to this point, Gong Tianhao said, "However, we'll have to wait some more time before we can expand into his country's market."
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, "It's fine if we abandon his country's market!"
If she didn't open her shop in his country, Rexham couldn't do anything to them.
Gong Tianhao heard Xiao Lingyu's words and didn't say anything.
Anyway, Rexham wasn't the only powerful person in that country. At that time, he could rely on Rexham's sworn enemy again.
If Xiao Lingyu were to lose that market, Gong Tianhao would feel sorry.
When everyone saw Rexham leave, no one came out to persuade him.
These people did not have a close relationship with Rexham. Furthermore, he was coveting Madam Gong too obviously. Who would be so tactless as to persuade him to stay?
Wright looked at the aggressive Rexham and shrugged his shoulders in amusement. He said to the people beside him, "If Rexham leaves just like that, he'll lose out on many things!"
The people beside him nodded in agreement. "That's right!"
Just now, Mr. Gong had said that he would give everyone two jars of health-preserving fruit wine and a jar of Peach Blossom Brew to bring back. This wine was extremely precious.
Moreover, Mr. Gong and his wife also said that drinking this kind of wine over a long period of time could strengthen one's body and prolong one's life. This was simply the legendary miracle medicine.
Who would be willing to decline it?
Rexham probably had lost his brain after having diarrhea for a whole day. Why would he show his desire towards Mrs. Gong so plainly before Mr. Gong? He had offended the host. He would not get this wine in the future.
Everyone could see that. Mr. Gong and Rexham did not officially fall out with each other. After all, both of them were people of status. In front of the world, they knew how to preserve face.
Rexham's departure did not affect everyone's mood. The food at the banquet was very delicious. In addition, Gong Tianhao and his wife kept urging them to eat more. These things would not make people gain weight. In the end, even the noblewomen who were very good at controlling their diet burped after eating. They also ate some fruit and drank some wine. Finally, they put down their knives, forks, and wine glasses in satisfaction and reluctance.
Tonight's banquet was actually a feast.
Everyone was only focused on eating and did not have much interaction. Such a situation was rare in upper-class circles.
Everyone knew that the purpose of attending a banquet in upper-class circles was to expand and deepen their connections.
"Ah, I'm too full." Mrs. Smith ate a lot of pastries and other food to satisfy her appetite. She was finally willing to put down the knife, fork, and plate in her hands.
She glanced at her round belly and looked at Xiao Lingyu worriedly, "Mrs. Gong, I've eaten so much. Will I really not gain weight?"
The other ladies also looked at her with the same gaze.
Xiao Lingyu comforted her with a laugh, "Mrs. Smith, don't worry. I promise you. You really won't gain weight."
When they looked at their round bellies, they couldn't help but feel worried. They had never let their bellies bulge before, except when they were giving birth. But tonight, they had eaten so much without realizing it.
Xiao Lingyu looked at their disbelieving eyes and said helplessly, "How about this? If you increase by one or two pounds tomorrow, you can take me responsible. I'll help you lose the weight you gain."
