Gu Junli kept calling Zhou Tingting, wanting to question her about why she ordered such expensive food without waiting for them.

He suddenly remembered that they had come to discuss their wedding, and Zhou Tingting had left the private room early.

"This dish wasn't ordered by us, it was ordered by my girlfriend. She left early, so she should have paid for it."

Fearing they might cause trouble, the waiter called security first.

He continued, "Sir, the entire meal was monitored by the security cameras in the private room. If you don't want any of the food, you only need to pay a 3% service charge, but this food..."

She looked at the plate, which was so clean it was practically licked clean by a dog, and said, "You've all eaten."

"We have no money, I'm going to sue you for extortion."

“Before you accuse us of extortion, we may take you to the police station.” The hotel manager came over with security, and the waiter immediately hid behind them.

The hotel manager produced a food order list: "These are all the orders we placed today. The prices of each ingredient are listed here. We really didn't make any money from this private room. If you refuse to pay, your whole family will have to go on a seven-day trip to the police station. With a criminal record, this gentleman's job will be in jeopardy, not to mention the children."

"I won't be able to take the civil service exam anymore."

Work was practically choking Gu Junli. He gritted his teeth, paid for the meal, and left with a bleeding heart.

He couldn't get in touch with Zhou Tingting, so he waited to go to the company on Monday to wait for her.

Little did Gu Junli, who felt no pity whatsoever, know that Zhou Tingting had already taken leave to go home and be with her father. He waited at the company for what seemed like forever, but Zhou Tingting, who had returned to Beijing, never came.
