Hearing the system's prompt, Ji Xiaoli showed no obvious reaction on the surface, but her hand gripping the cup tightened slightly.
Sure enough, just as she had guessed, there was something wrong with this glass of wine. Although she had been mentally prepared, Ji Xiaoli still felt angry.
It was too much! This was absolutely unforgivable! She couldn't even imagine what would have happened to her if there hadn't been the system!
Seeing Ji Xiaoli's face turn as black as the bottom of a pot and stay silent, Zheng Nanfeng had a faint premonition that something was wrong.
Feeling the tremor in his arms, Zheng Nanfeng's premonition grew stronger.
Zheng Nanfeng asked cautiously, "Xiaoli, what's wrong?"
Ji Xiaoli's tone was not good. "There's something wrong with this drink."
As soon as these words were out, Zheng Nanfeng and Jess' faces instantly changed.
Zheng Nanfeng was extremely angry. Who did that Tom think he was? How dare he lay a finger on his Xiaoli? He must be tired of living!
Zheng Nanfeng stared at Tom's departing back, his whole face looking terrifyingly gloomy.
But Ji Xiaoli held Zheng Nanfeng back. "Jack kindly invited us to his exhibition. We can't ruin it."
Zheng Nanfeng was still fuming. He turned his head away and didn't want to listen to Ji Xiaoli.
How could he just sit back and watch his Xiaoli being bullied without doing anything? There was no way!
Jess' face wasn't any better. "So we're just going to let this go?"
Putting the drink on the table in front of her, Ji Xiaoli said again, "We'll take the drink for a test after the exhibition. We can't let this Tom off!"
Hearing Ji Xiaoli say this, Zheng Nanfeng's expression softened a bit.
"Don't worry, Xiaoli. I'll definitely make this Tom pay for what he's done!"
Just then, Jack came over to the three of them.
"Everyone, how's your evening? Isn't my exhibition great?"
Ji Xiaoli smiled. "It's great. It really broadened my horizons!"
If it weren't for Tom's incident, this evening would have been really pleasant!
Hearing Ji Xiaoli say this, Jack was about to express his honor, but he always felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
These three people didn't seem as happy as Ji Xiaoli had said.
Jack looked at the three of them in confusion. "What's going on? It seems something unpleasant has happened?"
Zheng Nanfeng was about to tell Jack about Tom's incident directly, but Ji Xiaoli pinched him hard secretly.
Ji Xiaoli glared at Zheng Nanfeng warningly, signaling him not to cause trouble.
Jack was even more confused seeing Zheng Nanfeng holding back his words. "What exactly happened? Did I not entertain you well?"
Ji Xiaoli quickly shook her head. "No, you're overthinking it."
But this time Jack didn't believe Ji Xiaoli anymore. His intuition told him that something he didn't know must have happened.
Jack looked at Jess. "Jess, tell me what exactly happened?"
Jess was also holding a lot of anger inside. Since Jack asked, he wouldn't hide it.
So Jess ignored Ji Xiaoli's look and directly told Jack the whole story about Tom.
Jack was stunned by this. He had no idea that Tom was such a person with questionable character.
And he had even wanted to cooperate with such a person before. He must have been blind!
Jack was a hot - tempered person by nature. After reacting, he immediately got angry.
This was his exhibition! How dare Tom play tricks on Ji Xiaoli here? Did he not put Jack in his eyes?
It was bad enough that he had a questionable character, but he was also so arrogant. And he had targeted Jack's valued friend. How could Jack tolerate this?
"Miss Ji, don't worry. I'll definitely give you justice in this matter!"
Ji Xiaoli quickly waved her hand. "Jack, don't ruin your exhibition. We'll handle it ourselves."
Jack refused without thinking. "No. You're my friends, and this is my territory. I won't let you be wronged!"
Ji Xiaoli didn't expect Jack to be so loyal. She was immediately touched.
Jack called the butler and asked him to bring up the surveillance footage at home.
After the footage was brought up, Jack directly opened it in front of the three of them without any hesitation.
The cameras in Jack's house were all high - definition, so the pictures were extremely clear.
The surveillance clearly showed Tom pouring the powder into the drink in an inconspicuous corner. After stirring it evenly, he took the drink and went to find Ji Xiaoli.
And the drink in the surveillance was undoubtedly the one on the table.
The pictures in the surveillance successfully aroused the anger of the four people present.
Knowing about it was one thing, but seeing these pictures was another.
Especially Jack, who was extremely angry. He really didn't expect Tom to actually play tricks at his exhibition.
As the saying goes, one should at least show some respect to the host. Did Tom even think about him when he did this?
Now that it was confirmed, Jack had no more concerns. He directly ordered the butler.
"Throw Tom out! And he's never allowed to step into my house again!"
The butler didn't expect Jack to be so angry, so he quickly went to expel Tom.
The butler wasn't polite to Tom. He directly said, "Mr. Tom, please leave. You're no longer welcome here."
After saying that, the butler even made a gesture of invitation, which was very clear.
Tom, who was socializing, was irritated by the butler's impolite behavior and immediately roared.
"What are you doing? I'm a guest. What do you mean by treating me like this?"
Before the butler could answer, Jack directly said, "The butler's meaning is very clear. My house doesn't welcome you. Please leave!"
But Tom seemed to have forgotten what he had done. He looked at Jack disdainfully.
"Jack, why? We're good business partners!"
Jack sneered. "I don't have a business partner like you! From now on, I'm unilaterally terminating all cooperation with you!"
Tom immediately panicked. "No, why? Jack, you can't treat me like this! No!"
Jess also stepped forward and said, "Tom, don't you know why? Have you forgotten what you've done?"
Reminded by Jess, Tom suddenly realized what the problem was.
But how could he just give up like this?
"Jack, listen to my explanation. Things aren't as they said!"
Having witnessed the truth, how could Jack believe Tom's nonsense?
Jack glared at the butler. "Why aren't you throwing him out yet?"
After being glared at, the butler didn't dare to be negligent and quickly threw Tom out.
Tom struggled and shouted while being dragged out. "No, Jack, listen to my explanation! You can't treat me like this! Jack!"
Finally, Tom was dragged out by the butler, but the atmosphere at the scene completely changed.
Tom's commotion made Jack even more furious. He asked the butler to deliver a warning to Tom's family.
