“Am I seeing things? That waiter actually went ahead with his order.”

“Does the waiter really think that he can pay for those dishes?”

When the people around saw that the waiter had agreed to place the order after taking something from Chu Yang, they felt as if they had seen a ghost.

“Good Lord, it seems I’m the one who was blind. To think I can’t recognize a silver-spooned kid when I see one. Chu Yang can actually afford to eat dishes worth tens of millions!”

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said those things about Big Brother Chu Yang just now.” Some of the wallflowers around immediately change their words.

“To think that Chu Yang can afford to order dishes worth tens of millions. What did I miss?”

Initially, Li Wei was very surprised that Chu Yang had come to the party. She thought that Chu Yang was here to shamelessly pester her, and had even thought of how she would reject Chu Yang if he were to strike up a conversation with her later.

Back then, Li Wei had dumped Chu Yang for Shi Ming because he was just poor. Even though Shi Ming was a far cry from being considerate, unlike Chu Yang, but she had felt that as long as she could live a life of luxury, such menial matters would not matter at all.

When she was with Chu Yang, she had to worry about money and had to count every penny. But now that she saw that Chu Yang was wealthy as well, Li Wei suddenly felt a trace of regret. A bitter expression appeared on her face.

“That fellow seemed to have handed a card to the waiter just now. But can a simple card make that waiter change his attitude? Could it be a bank card? It can’t be. If it’s a bank card, the waiter still needs to check the balance of the bank card to know if he can really afford those dishes.” Shi Ming said to Li Wei and the others.

Shi Ming was standing closer to Chu Yang, so he could see the whole scene clearer. 

However, even if he had seen everything happen, he was equally confused. At the same time, he was also somewhat jealous. After all, he had just stolen this guy’s girlfriend, and now this guy was wealthier than he was and could afford to eat dishes worth more than ten million yuan.

“I did say that if you can’t afford it then don’t offer to treat,” Chu Yang looked at the shocked expressions of the people around him and said mockingly to Shi Ming.

“Chu Yang, don’t be too arrogant.” Hearing Chu Yang’s mockery, Shi Ming and the others told him off harshly.

“Sigh, you guys are no fun. You’re poor yet you don’t allow someone else to say so,” Chu Yang curled his lips and stopped arguing with them.

“Chu Yang, what did you pass to the waiter just now? What card was that? The VIP card of the Clearwater Manor doesn’t look like that either,” Xu Qian was quite surprised when he saw the waiter agree to Chu Yang’s request for the exorbitant dishes after he handed him the card.

Xu Qian had been to the Clearwater Manor quite some times, and his VIP status here was also much higher than some of the silver-spooned kids present. That was why he dared to stand beside Chu Yang to protect him.

“That seems to be the Supreme card of the Clearwater Manor. It’s said that only 10 cards have been issued since its establishment. Those who have this card are all important people in society, right, Chu Yang?” Qin Feng, who was standing beside Chu Yang, said to the two of them.

“Oh, Big Brother Feng, you actually know the card,” Chu Yang was surprised when he learned that Big Brother Feng could recognize the card he handed to the waiter. After all, he had only obtained the card by chance.

“My dad has one. When I was young, he had brought the card and took me to the Clearwater Manor for a meal,” Qin Feng explained to the two of them with an indifferent expression.

“Damn, Big Brother Feng. Why didn’t I know about this? You should’ve just stolen it back then and the two of us could’ve come directly to the Clearwater Manor for a meal. We wouldn’t have had to suffer so much just to slowly get involved with the family business,” Upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, Xu Qian immediately said to him with some regret.

Xu Qian and Qin Feng had grown up together. They were the direct heirs in their respective families, so they often played together when they were young.

However, large families often had all kinds of tests to determine the suitability of their heirs.

Therefore, the two of them had been living a tough life since they were young. This was also the reason why the two of them didn’t show their affluent side in front of Chu Yang back then. It was only when they were about to graduate that the two of them gradually started to get involved with the family business and slowly gained financial power.

However, it was also this kind of tough experience that made the two of them have even stronger willpower.

And now, when Xu Qian heard Qin Feng’s words, he immediately started feeling the bitterness of his earlier days.

Thinking about how he had secretly sold some of his old toys because he didn’t have enough to get a meal, those were tough days. If he had known that there was such a card, wouldn’t it be easier on them if they had stolen it?

“It seems that you two are really big shots,” Seeing that Qin Feng had immediately recognized his card, Chu Yang teased the two of them.

“We’re no big shots. We didn’t earn these by ourselves anyway, it was all given by our families,” Qin Feng waved his hand at him and said.

“Oh, you’re even putting on an act,” Chu Yang slapped Qin Feng on the chest upon seeing his suddenly bragging manner.

“Hello, Sir. I’m the manager of Clearwater Manor. Thank you for patronizing the Clearwater Manor. Your private room is ready. Would you like to go over now?” While they were talking, the manager of Clearwater Manor personally came over to serve Chu Yang. After all, anyone who held the Supreme card of the Clearwater Manor would be treated like a king in the establishment.

When the surrounding people saw that even the manager of the Clearwater Manor had appeared to personally send Chu Yang to his private room, the surprise on their faces deepened.

The expressions of Li Wei, Shi Ming, and the other silver-spooned kids also became even more unsightly. The appearance of the manager of the Clearwater Manor meant that Chu Yang was someone they could not offend. After all, they had come to the Clearwater Manor so many times, yet they had never enjoyed such treatment.

“Okay, take us there now,” After hearing the manager’s words, Chu Yang replied.

“Yes Sir, please follow me,” The manager then led Chu Yang and the others out of the gathering place.

However, after taking a few steps, Chu Yang suddenly turned back.

“Lu Shan, why are you still standing there? Come on, don’t you want to try the dishes that I ordered?” Chu Yang said to Lu Shan with a smile. It turned out that after taking two steps, Chu Yang realized that Lu Shan had not followed over, thus he immediately turned back to call for her.

“Uhm, I can go too?” After hearing Chu Yang’s words, Lu Shan looked at him in shock.

Lu Shan was already shocked when she heard that the dishes added up to tens of millions. Although she knew that Chu Yang was very rich, she did not expect him to be able to spend so much on one meal.

Lu Shan was too embarrassed to go with Chu Yang when she heard the prices, so when Chu Yang left, she did not follow him.

“Nonsense, didn’t you say you were going to accompany me to the party tonight? It cant be that you want to stay here instead of coming with me, right?” Faced with Lu Shan’s question, Chu Yang said in a displeased tone.

“No, I want to go with you, but that’s tens of millions worth of dishes. Are you sure you want to invite me to eat with you?”

“Dishes are meant to be eaten with other people, let’s go.” Chu Yang said to her indifferently.

“But…”

“But what? Hurry up and leave with me, or the dishes will already be served,” Chu Yang was a little impatient when he saw that Lu Shan was still standing where she was. He took Lu Shan’s hand and followed the manager to the private room.

When Chu Yang took Lu Shan’s hand, her face instantly turned red, but she didn’t resist. Instead, she obediently followed behind Chu Yang.

“Sigh, dear sister, looks like your big plan for love is about to be thwarted,” Qin Feng muttered to himself as he looked at Lu Shan, who was obediently following behind Chu Yang. He silently prayed for his little sister in his heart.

The rest of the people watched as Chu Yang gradually walked away with looks of regret on their faces.

“Young Master Lee, is this gathering of ours still ongoing?” One of the lackeys asked after seeing Chu Yang leave.

“Yes. Let them eat what they want, I’ll pay the bill then,” After hearing his lackey’s question, Lee Wei said to him with a livid expression. Then, he walked out of Clearwater Manor.

The main reason why Lee Wei had organized this gathering with a few of his rich friends tonight was to pursue Lu Shan. But now, Lu Shan had been taken away by Chu Yang. Lee Wei felt there was no point in staying..
