52: Chapter 52: Provoking the Brother?

I Will Crush You!

The private room.

Su Geng crossed his legs, gently swaying the wine glass in his hand.

He savored the richness of the red wine while enjoying the hilarious antics of his classmates.

Having someone else pay the bill is fantastic!

Everyone let loose, indulging in eating, drinking, and playing – all ordering the most expensive items on the menu.

Su Geng roughly calculated that the bill had already exceeded one hundred thousand.

“Mr.

Su, why aren’t you singing?”

The slick, coiffed pretty boy Fang Yu approached, the second-generation rich and Su Geng’s close buddy.

“Sing for what?” Su Geng took a casual sip of his wine, laughing coldly, “I’m waiting to watch a great show!”

Fang Yu laughed, “Tang Xin is really something, picking such a loser to play her fake boyfriend.

What’s she trying to achieve?”

“To provoke me, obviously!”

Su Geng gave a cold laugh.

“I want to see how that poor loser Wu Jie is going to pay the bill later.”

Fang Yu’s smile faded upon hearing this.

“But for real, Mr.

Su, haven’t we gone a bit too far?”

Su Geng snorted heavily, “I did it on purpose!

Didn’t he say it himself?

To order whatever we wanted, I haven’t done anything wrong!”

Fang Yu forced a smile, “Since you know they are a fake couple, why are you still messing with them?

If you’re setting him up, aren’t you screwing over Tang Xin?

With such an expensive dinner, Wu Jie will inevitably be using Tang Xin’s money to pay the bill.”

“Think about it, making Tang Xin spend so much, is she going to like you or despise you?”

“…”

Su Geng was stunned.

Indeed, a bystander is often clearer-headed than the principal!

He had been blinded by his rage, only thinking about bankrupting Wu Jie.

Now that Fang Yu had pointed this out, Su Geng realized he had made a huge mistake.

“Crap!

What should I do now?”

Su Geng suddenly became aware.

Fang Yu stroked his chin, smiling,

“When it’s time to settle the bill, if Wu Jie hesitates even a little, just stand up generously and offer to pay!”

“That way, you not only save Tang Xin some money, but she’ll also see you as a noble and generous man.

Isn’t the way for a man to show his love for a woman to be willing to spend money on her?”

Su Geng frowned, not making any commitment.

He was worried that even if he did spend the money, he might not move Tang Xin and end up being the big sucker instead.

At this moment…

The door of the private room opened.

Wu Jie and Tang Xin walked in hand in hand.

Fang Yu, quick as a flash, immediately paused the music.

“Come on, classmates!

The person paying the bill has arrived, let’s toast to them!”

With a shout from Fang Yu, who gave a nudge to the daydreaming Su Geng, he took the lead in raising his glass.

The others quickly gathered around as well.

“Thanks to Tycoon Bro!”

“Thanks to Beauty Xin’er!”

“We ate well, drank well, had a great time tonight!

Wishing you a long life together!”

“After this drink, give us a love song duet!”

…

Some classmates, oblivious to the truth, made various ridiculous toasts.

Su Geng’s face was turning green with envy.

Wu Jie raised his glass and smiled, “Thanks to everyone for looking after Xin’er.

As long as everyone’s having fun, that’s what matters.

As for singing, let’s wait a bit.

After we make a toast in the other two private rooms, we’ll come back and sing to our heart’s content!”

“Exactly!

It’s the weekend; we must drink to our fill!”

Tang Xin also lifted her glass, her smile playfully scanning the surroundings.

Su Geng’s expression was quite a sight.

Although he said nothing, his smile couldn’t hide his awkwardness.

What’s with this guy?

Was he really struck by the loving display between me and Wu Jie?

“Come on!

Drink to your heart’s content!”

With the clinking of glasses, Tang Xin and Wu Jie took the initiative to toast with everyone.

Afterward, the two of them bought drinks and performed cross-cupped wine right there on the spot.

Su Geng’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Many people around them cheered, but Su Geng’s fragile heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, almost bleeding.

“Everyone enjoy yourselves; we’re going to make a toast in the other two private rooms!”

Wu Jie, elastic in hand, was about to leave.

“Wait!”

Su Geng suddenly spoke up, with all eyes curiously and astonished upon him as he slowly approached Wu Jie.

After sizing him up, Su Geng turned his head to look at Tang Xin beside him.

What a stunning beauty!

How could she let a piece of trash like Wu Jie hold her hand?

Su Geng gritted his teeth and said coldly, “The two of you are something, really.

This lovey-dovey act is so disgustingly sweet!

But I’m curious, who’s picking up the tab tonight?

You know, this gathering’s expenses are not small!”

“Of course it’s me!

I told everyone to enjoy food and drinks as they like; how could I possibly let Xin’er pay?” Wu Jie’s voice was loud and full of vigor, “But still, we should have some rules when we go out.

Let’s not waste extravagantly.”

“If it’s food and drink that everyone’s enjoying, that’s fair.

But washing our mouths with champagne and flushing toilets with red wine—that kind of rip-off is just not done.

We’re all respectable people; we wouldn’t go out of our way to screw each other over, right?”

Su Geng laughed heartily, “Of course not!

How could we ever intentionally mess with you?

But still…

I’m curious, with everything that’s been ordered so far, can you afford the bill?”

“Looking at your outfit, it all adds up to less than five hundred, right?

Are you sure you want to pretend to be generous, to maintain face, by spending two or three years’ worth of salary on a single night out?”

“Or perhaps, you’re not actually going to pay.

You keep saying you’re treating us, but in the end, is it Xin’er’s money you’re using?

Just a poor laborer pretending to be a tycoon—what’s the point?”

Su Geng’s tone was aggressive and provoking.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room plummeted to freezing point.

Fang Yu really wanted to advise Su Geng, but it seemed he was past the point of caring.

“Yes!

That’s right!”

Wu Jie said loudly, “I am a poor labourer, and I don’t have as much money as Mr.

Su!

To make sure everyone here has a good time, I’ve decided to go all out.

Not just two or three years’ worth of salary, but what does it matter even if it’s ten or twenty years?”

“As long as Xin’er is happy, as long as she’s satisfied, I’m willing to spend the money for her.

But what about you, Mr.

Su?

You’ve had hotpot and good wine; is there anything else you’re not satisfied with?

Do we need to serve you the wedding banquet in advance so you can feel pleased and satisfied?”

“Xin’er and I invite you to wine and dine, and that’s giving you face.

You just need to enjoy yourself, and stop using your status as a rich second-generation to question whether I have the guts to treat everyone but no money to pay the bill!”

“So what if I can’t afford it?

I’m not kneeling down to beg Mr.

Su to help me pay, right?

So you’d better stop worrying and enjoy your drink, sing your songs.

If you’re unhappy, there’s the door; I’m not seeing you out!”

…

Wu Jie powerfully rebutted, his presence dominating, leaving Su Geng speechless.

Tang Xin had been worried about the money, but hearing Wu Jie’s bold words and feeling the warmth from his hand…

she suddenly felt at peace.

At that moment, for the first time, Tang Xin felt a man’s pride and resilience!

Just like Wu Jie said: money can’t buy willingness!

At that moment, what was money anyway?

“So this is what it feels like to be cherished by a man!

Warm, making me want to cry!”

A warm current flowed through Tang Xin’s heart and her eyes reddened slightly, inexplicably moved.

Though she knew they were a fake couple and Wu Jie was just acting,

She suddenly thought, how nice would it be if they really were a couple?
