51: Chapter 51: Bastard!

Digging Your Own Grave!

The voice was grating, the gaze piercing.

Everyone looked at Wu Jie with various strange expressions.

Envy, jealousy, contempt, mockery…

Wu Jie didn’t mind; he just found it funny internally.

Su Geng’s remark was simply a ‘divine assist’!

It indirectly helped Wu Jie draw a wave of resentment.

The system kept happily notifying him as he quickly earned more than twenty thousand energy points due to being envied and resented.

Of course, this also proved that Tang Xin’s classmates were all quite well-off.

Birds of a feather flock together, people are known by the company they keep.

Coming from a wealthy family, Tang Xin’s EMBA classmates were obviously not going to be too shabby.

However, it was clear that everyone harbored ill will toward Tang Xin and Wu Jie’s being together.

“Sorry for making everyone wait due to the traffic, please eat and drink as much as you like, this meal is on me!”

Wu Jie bowed slightly in greeting; this was also to give face to Tang Xin.

Su Geng glanced around, seeing that everyone was eager for a stir, he sneered and said:

“You commute by bus and subway, can you even get stuck in traffic?”

Tang Xin immediately got angry.

“Su Geng, are you freaking starving?

Want to drink some more hot pot base soup?

My Jie commutes by car, what bus and subway?

He’s apologized for being late due to traffic, what more do you want?”

Su Geng shrugged and said:

“I don’t want anything, but since your boyfriend is rich and just an apology is definitely not enough for being late to the gathering, I propose that to show sincerity, we should all head out to sing karaoke next.

What does everyone say, should we or should we not?”

“Yes!

Of course!”

“Sing!

Sing!

Sing!”

“Weekend group revelry!

Let’s go sing!”

“Yo, yo, yo!

A rich man is treating!”

“With so many people, we’ll need at least two big luxury rooms, right?”

“Two rooms, how could that be enough?

At least three!”

“Rare weekend opportunity!

We must party hard tonight!

No going home until drunk!”

…

With Su Geng taking the lead, many people immediately started to egg on the situation.

Tang Xin was about to speak but was pulled back by Wu Jie.

“Great!

Since everyone is so excited, let’s go sing then!”

“However, I’m not very familiar with the area here, so I’ll trouble Mr.

Su to lead everyone there first, and Xin’er and I will come over in a little while.”

“Whatever you all like to eat or drink, just go ahead and order.

As long as everyone is happy, that’s what matters!”

Wu Jie spoke with a beaming smile, his voice loud and clear.

But Tang Xin’s face was crying, continuously pinching her hand, twisting her waist, stamping her foot.

Wu Jie, however, acted as if he hadn’t heard.

Upon hearing this, Su Geng laughed heartily.

“Good!

Good!”

“Since Tang Xin’s boyfriend is so generous, then why should we be polite?

Let’s go!!”

Amid the shouts, a large group buzzed away in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, only Wu Jie and Tang Xin were left.

“Are you crazy?”

Tang Xin, with a face full of anxiety, said, “Letting Su Geng take the lead, that guy will definitely bleed you dry!

He’s bound to pick the most luxurious rooms, the most expensive fruit platter, and if he decides to order a few good bottles of wine, I bet your salary for several years won’t be enough to cover it!”

“Sit down first!” Wu Jie pressed Tang Xin into her seat, picked up the utensils, and continued eating hot pot.

“No!

I have to keep an eye on them.

You enjoy your meal.

Just keep the receipt after you pay the bill!”

Tang Xin immediately tried to get up and chase after them, but Wu Jie grabbed her tightly.

“Calm down!

What are you panicking about?”

“Oh my god!

If I don’t follow, Su Geng will definitely screw you over!

Oh no…

I mean, he’ll screw me over!”

Tang Xin really felt like crying.

Although her family was well off and her income as a broadcaster was quite handsome, she couldn’t allow Su Geng to squander her money like this!

“Don’t worry, all the expenses tonight are on me!”

With just one sentence, Wu Jie poured cold water over Tang Xin and instantly cooled her down.

“What?” Tang Xin sat down and asked with furrowed brows, “Are you feverish?

Do you have any idea what will happen if you let Su Geng and his lot run wild?

I guarantee they’ll spend at least a hundred thousand, maybe even more.

Do you have that kind of money?”

“Jie, I know you’re trying to do me a favor, to save my face, but we really shouldn’t puff ourselves up at the cost of our substance.

It’s not easy for you to make money, and neither is it for me.

It’s nonsensical to let those jerks waste our hard-earned money!”

Wu Jie, while enjoying hotpot and washing duck intestines, casually shook his head with a sheepish grin.

“You’ve got to trust me, how would I let us suffer a loss?”

“But…”

“No buts, go get your brother some beef, pork belly, and tripe!”

Tang Xin blinked, then pouted and got up.

“You’re like a pig unafraid of boiling water, still thinking about eating at a time like this!

Such a glutton!”

Wu Jie just chuckled and didn’t say a word.

Eating hotpot, drinking beer, and accompanied by a beautiful girl like Mei.

Life is good – what more could one ask for!

Burp~

After a loud belch, Wu Jie wiped his mouth and got up.

Tang Xin came back after settling the bill, with a pout and resentful eyes, staring at Wu Jie.

“A hotpot meal nearly costing four thousand, and a lot of food wasted, these jerks are going to spend who knows how much at KTV, you’ve really screwed me over!”

Wu Jie laughed, “Rest assured, I would never screw you over!

By the way, where do you reckon Su Geng and his gang will go to sing?”

“Hold on!”

Tang Xin took out her phone and sure enough, found the location in the class group chat.

Even pictures were already being posted in the group.

“Damn!

Look!

Take a good look!”

“They went to the Happy Time KTV on the back street, indeed they got the big private rooms, and look at these fruit platters, these drinks!”

“Oh my god!

This…

This is just one room!

That bastard Su Geng actually booked three big private rooms!”

“I’m doomed!

I’m going bankrupt!

Bankrupt!”

Wu Jie took Tang Xin’s phone and looked through the photos and videos.

Truth be told,

Su Geng and his buddies really showed no mercy.

Three luxurious private rooms filled with all kinds of desserts, beverages, alcohols, and fruit platters.

A rough estimate showed that the expenses had already exceeded fifty thousand.

After all, the three bottles of imported champagne in the video were valued at nearly twenty thousand alone, not to mention the expensive wines.

“See?

That’s what you get for showing off!

That bastard Su Geng, he thinks he can screw you over, but in fact, he’s screwing me over, damn it!”

Tang Xin grabbed her phone back, and all pumped up with anger, was about to rush over there.

“Wait a minute!”

Wu Jie grabbed Tang Xin, “Can’t you have a little basic trust?

Why do you always think I would screw you over?

We’re a CP team, aren’t we?”

“Almost four thousand spent at the hotpot restaurant, that’s an undeniable fact.

And Su Geng and his gang wasting my money at KTV, there’s photo and video proof!

With the truth right before our eyes, how do you expect me to feel?

Do you think you can skip the bill for me?”

No sooner had Tang Xin finished speaking than Wu Jie took out a stack of money from his pocket.

“Here, take ten thousand for now.

If I can’t handle the KTV, I’ll pay the bill, and of this ten thousand, you only have to give me back six.

It’s like you treated me to the hotpot!

Otherwise, you just return the ten thousand to me.”

“Huh?” Tang Xin was stunned, “That doesn’t make sense!

No matter how you look at it, you’re at a loss, right?”

“So, since you won’t lose out either way, why worry?” Wu Jie lit a cigarette and smirked at Tang Xin, “Let’s go!

I’ll take you to strut your stuff and fly high!”
