Having three bottles of thirty year old Lafite, Sui Yu practically had the urge to vomit blood. Even if he came to a western restaurant, he wouldn't dare to order three bottles of this level of liquor at once.
Thinking about his bold words just now, he really wanted to slap himself against the wall.
He was very clear that Zhong Ming only had two people behind him. If the people at this table were all like that, then he would have to die. His family knew that if he were to spend so much money, he would freeze all his pocket money and then lock him up.
He had spent so much money today, yet he still didn't know what to do. However, since he had already invited them, what else could he do?
"Everyone, no need to be polite!"
Although Sui Yu's heart was bleeding, he still had to ask others to help him out as much as possible. After all, such a generous offer was not something that ordinary people could invite.
"Cousin is mighty. Cousin is the best."
"Thank you, cousin!"
"Thank you, cousin!" The first to express their gratitude was Sui Yu's cousin.
"Sui Yu, thank you!" Zhong Ling added on, but after saying that he had a shy expression.
It could be seen that Zhong Ling had truly fallen in love. The mud was deep.
At this time, Zhong Ming was so angry that people would not hesitate to pay with their lives, "Thank you for your hospitality!"
Zhong Ming's words were very tactful, only Sui Yu could understand the meaning behind them.
Hmph, daring to fight with me, you still don't know who's playing who? At this time, Zhong Ming was really not afraid of him at all. After comparing the two, they could directly go and cut him up. Seeing Sui Yu's current expression, Zhong Ming's heart felt extremely good.
Not long after, the dishes were served.
Because only Zhong Ming and Sui Yu could speak French among the people on the table, the others only followed suit, afraid of losing face. As such, no one else knew what they wanted!
When the dishes were served, everyone was dumbfounded.
Heavens!
The row that Sui Yu led all ordered the simplest dishes and steak.
Comparatively, the people on Zhong Ming's side seemed to be ordering food from the imperial palace.
The steak looked fresh and juicy, and looking at the steak on Sui Yu's side, it was simply not on the same level. Looking at the hard steak in front of them, the people beside Sui Yu were slightly unhappy.
There was no harm if there was no comparison. If both sides chose the same item, no one would feel much about it. But now, Sui Yu's side only had simple steak and some small dishes, they didn't even have soup. Looking at the side where Zhong Ming was leading at, it was caviar, wine, and dessert. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Cousin, didn't you say to be more casual? "Just give us this!" The little cousin sister beside Sui Yu could no longer hold back her emotions. A few of her friends were at her cousin's side, the remaining two were at Zhong Ming's side.
He had always said that his cousin was rich, but his cousin was generous? Was this the method? Give yourself the cheapest food.
Zhong Ling was also beside Sui Yu. Although she was worried that her brother would make a fool of himself before, looking at the situation in front of her, even if she was being naive, she could still tell what was going on.
"Sui Yu, let's break up!" Zhong Ling said indifferently.
Zhong Ling was not a girl who coveted other people's money. She only wanted the attention and tolerance from others.
Although she felt that Sui Yu's family's conditions were better than hers, she had never asked Sui Yu for anything. It was also Sui Yu who had taken the initiative to ask for this dinner. It was just that he felt sorry for his parents. Furthermore, Sui Yu had treated him very well with regards to the previous incident, so Zhong Ling agreed to have an official relationship with him.
However, she never expected that Sui Yu was actually such a person.
When her elder brother came, she purposely ordered such dishes for everyone. The difference is that you don't know French.
Without money, she was willing to eat at his roadside stall, but cheating was something she could not tolerate.
"Zhong Ling, I..." Sui Yu wanted to say something, but Zhong Ling did not have the intention to listen, and directly threw his things out of the seat.
"Stop talking, I can't accept someone who isn't real to me." After Zhong Ling finished speaking, he opened the door of the private room and quickly left.
"Zhong Ling, wait for me!" Zhong Ming chased after him. "Thank you for your hospitality!" At this time, Zhong Ming's smile was like a crocodile's tears to Sui Yu, who was about to explode in anger, this brat did not come with any good intentions!
Sui Yu wanted to roar, but at this time, there were a few people in the room who looked at each other in dismay.
He had spent almost a month's worth of pocket money. Not only did he not get the chance to kiss a beautiful woman, he had even invited the person he should not have invited to treat him to a table.
"Scram!" All of you, scram! "Don't make me keep an eye on you guys in the future!"
At this time, Sui Yu no longer cared about his image, and shouted at them.
Sui Yu had never felt as ashamed as he did today, "Zhong Ming, just you wait!" At this moment, Sui Yu's eyes burned with anger and shame.
Zhong Ling was currently crying loudly outside the dining hall. This was the first time she had ever wanted to tell someone about the matter of her heart, but she didn't expect that it would actually end like this. He started to deceive himself before they were really together. Could it be that if they were to be together in the future, he would have to be on his guard at all times?
She just wanted pure love, nothing else, and she couldn't get it.
"Zhong Ling, do you hate that your brother messed up your plans?"
At this time, Zhong Ling was still feeling sad, his big hand directly rested on Zhong Ling's shoulder.
"Don't be sad, silly girl. Men are the most generous before they get their hands on one. If you are afraid at a time like this, it means that he is not sincere towards you. "No matter how much affection it has for you, or how much it has for you!" Zhong Ming said sincerely and sincerely.
To Zhong Ling, knowing someone early was a good thing for her. It was to avoid further harm in the future.
"Alright, I got it." Zhong Ling wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and said resolutely.
Previously, he was always surrounded by Sui Yu. Some of them were lost, and didn't think too much about it. Now, under the guidance of his older brother, he realized that he was right.
"Oh right, brother, have you heard of the most famous literary lord in the literary world, Shu Chen?" Zhong Ling changed the topic.
Shu Chen was the most famous literary person in the Eastern Kingdom, but his background was unknown. He was once a lecturer at Songshan Medical Academy. He was known for his outstanding professional abilities, but for some reason, he abandoned medicine and became a literary person. However, he was truly a legendary figure. This person was truly talented, as if he could reach the top in any field.
As for this Mr. Shu Chen, he had been very popular in the education world all those years ago, so why did he suddenly change his text?
Shu Chen, I have heard of him before, but our school's literary society still has him on display!" When Zhong Ming passed by the Literary Association, he saw a rumour. On it was a man in his twenties and thirties, who seemed to have the aura of a book.
At that time, Zhong Ming was still puzzled as to why there was such an image in his own school, but he did not expect that this person would actually be associated with a very qualified Shu Chen.
"Yeah, I heard that this time Shu Chen came to Songshan and organized a literary competition. Every university in Songshan will send their representatives to participate." Zhong Ling was full of anticipation.
As a literary lover, Zhong Ling had a lot of respect for Shu Chen. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to go to a university for medicine, he would have already gone to Shu Chen's old school. However, he didn't think that his brother would actually go to that school. It wasn't a pity.
"Brother, you should go participate in the competition as well. No matter what, participating in the tournament as a student of Shu Chen's old school is something that would make others feel extremely proud." Zhong Ling was full of hot blood.
"We'll talk about it later. You should hurry back to your dorm, start packing tomorrow, and move back to our new house. It's rather close to your school anyway." Zhong Ming said.
"Alright!" Zhong Ling's mood now was a little better. After all, whether Xu Ahji was sad or not was something that he could not figure out. Since the other party was not sincere to him, even though he had provoked him, it could be considered that he did not suffer any losses, thus, Zhong Ling did not need to be particularly concerned.
Adding on Shu Chen's return and the matter of him moving into his new home, Zhong Ling's gloomy mood was immediately swept away.
Because they weren't too far away from Zhong Ling's school, Zhong Ming directly sent his sister back to school on foot. This way, the two siblings would have a chance to chat.
Although they had always been together in the past, ever since they had entered university, one was in the east side of the city while the other was in the west. Even though they seemed to be in the same city, it would still take them a long time to get there.
Zhong Ming on the other hand, was relatively close to his original house so he could return home. Zhong Ling took a trip home from school, and only needed to turn on the bus three times. It was simply too troublesome. In addition, the place at home was rather small, so the two siblings couldn't live together like they did when they were young. Thus, they hadn't come home often these past few years.
"Now I can live with my parents, just thinking about it makes me so excited!" Zhong Ling was originally a naive and romantic girl, the poverty in her family that forced her to mature.
Seeing Zhong Ling return to his innocent and romantic appearance, Zhong Ming felt extremely gratified.
I am willing to stand guard for your happiness, my sister. I will not let anyone bully her.
Zhong Ming thought in his heart. The scene of Zhong Ling risking his life to protect himself during his battle with Daoyang was still fresh in his mind. Zhong Ming knew that only someone from the bottom of their heart would be able to achieve such a feat. Because lucidity did not allow you to think too much. Everything was instinctive!
Although Zhong Ling had forgotten about that memory, it would forever exist in Zhong Ming's heart. This was something that Zhong Ming had to bear.
