Chapter 538 - We Are Husband and Wife (16)

Zhuang Nainai watched the reactions of Shi Haoyu and Xue Rong closely. This was the first time since they’d met each other earlier that they had lost their composure. Compared to how haughty they had been earlier, the down-and-out way they were behaving right now made Zhuang Nainai secretly satisfied.

She curled her lips, a flash of slyness crossing her eyes. Turning her head toward Si Zhengting, she asked, “Dearie, what else would you like to eat?”

That tone of pleasure was annoying to anyone who was listening!

Seeing how pleased she was, Si Zhengting curled his lips and repressed his urge to smile. He paused, then said, “The fish roe sauce here, as well as their black truffle… they’re both not too bad.”

Zhuang Nainai instantly smiled and made an exaggerated wave. “Then let’s get a portion each!”

Xue Rong turned a shade paler.

Shi Haoyu was silent.

Shi Haoyu swallowed hard. Was face important, or was money more important?

After hesitating for a moment, he then turned toward the attendant. “This, don’t…”

The attendant replied enthusiastically, “Sure, Miss, we’ve placed the order for you.”

Shi Haoyu was speechless.

The attendant was a bright, observant person. The man had passed her a VIP card she had never seen before. Her senior had so anxiously tasked her to take good care of the people in the private room… The senior attendant, worried that she wouldn’t do her job well, had even privately warned her that if she did her job well, she would be rewarded; if not, she would be done for. That made her sure that the person in the private room was the one with the most power.

The attendant smiled at Shi Haoyu, complementing Zhuang Nainai. “What were you going to say, Sir?”

What was he going to say?

Was what he was about to say going to make any difference?!

Of course it was all too late!

He swallowed hard once more and turned to look at Xue Rong, who was still putting up a strong front despite turning pale. She took a deep breath, then lowered her voice and said, “Calm down, I’ll get my dad to pay for us. My family has enough, so don’t you worry. Now that we’ve spent all this money, we’ve got to make the show go on!”

Upon hearing that his father-in-law was going to be the one footing the bill, Shi Haoyu heaved a sigh of relief. But just as he lowered his head, he felt a boundless sense of being insulted.

He had initially thought that 50 to 60,000 dollars would be enough to cover his treat this time around, but little did he know that… for the people who were truly wealthy, a meal could easily cost upwards of a million dollars.

The pain in Shi Haoyu’s heart was simply indescribable. A million dollars! He could use a million dollars to pay the downpayment for a house on the outskirts of Beijing, or he could even buy a house for his parents! It was even enough to pay for a villa back where he came from…

The more he thought about it, the more he felt his heart bleeding from all of the money being spent!

Shi Haoyu took a deep breath and kept up his attempt to keep on smiling. Yet that smile of his looked worse than crying.

All the classmates surrounding him looked at each other. Then, they lowered their heads and began whispering among themselves.

Everyone was secretly satisfied — actually, all of them had been displeased by the haughty way Xue Rong and Shi Haoyu had been carrying themselves, and it was most irking when Xue Rong had put Zhuang Nainai in a spot. Now, as they watched the two of them getting slaughtered, the feeling they were experiencing was… just so good!

Everyone was laughing among themselves in hushed voices. Then, the door opened and the white truffle was served!

White truffle was a rare food, and so everyone only had a small piece each. Everyone began making remarks about the white truffle, and it was only Shi Haoyu who was watching everyone else around him eating as if they were not eating truffle but were eating his flesh instead.
