"Waiter, the bill, please." Xu Yi had finished eating and leaned back in his chair, ordering him around in a commanding tone.
The shop assistant came over upon hearing the noise, looked at them, and said, "The total bill is 10,300 yuan."
Liu Yunqi was shocked when she heard this. When did hot pot become so expensive? Xu Yi gave her a look, and she understood, her face showing reluctance.
Xu Yi straightened his legs and moved slightly closer to ask, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to invite them?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Hange leaned back in her chair and watched their performance. In any case, she had been nonexistent since Xu Yi appeared today; if her purpose was to make them shine, it was simply to make them appear even more dazzling.
Liu Yunqi opened her bag with a pout, looked at it, and then said with a contorted face, "I... I don't think I brought enough cash."
Xu Yi burst into laughter instantly, slapping his thigh hard, completely disregarding his image.
This laugh made Liu Yunqi even more embarrassed. She silently lowered her head, looked at the few dozen yuan in her hand, and suddenly felt incredibly ashamed. She had forgotten to bring her card in her haste to leave today. She rarely carried cash. She must have been out of her mind to say such a boastful thing.
Fu Hange sat there alone, chuckling to herself, while the waiter stood there awkwardly. She took out her card, handed it to the waiter, and said in a low voice, "To put it bluntly, you just want me to treat you."
Hearing her say that, Liu Yunqi looked up, and the atmosphere instantly eased considerably. Liu Yunqi stopped looking at Xu Yi, while Xu Yi continued to watch Liu Yunqi make a fool of herself.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when she went outside. The neon lights were dazzling, and the shops on the street were illuminated in a golden glow. Everyone seemed to have someone by their side. Even with the bright streetlights, she didn't know which one could illuminate the loneliness in her heart. Suppressing her emotions, she tried her best not to let Liu Yunqi and Xu Yi notice anything amiss.
"You take her home," she said to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was extremely unwilling upon hearing this, and quickly waved his hand, looking at Liu Yunqi with a look of disgust: "No, I don't want to send this tomboy."
"Who are you calling a tomboy?" Liu Yunqi was furious. She was only twenty-five, how could she be called a tomboy? She had plenty of suitors, they had no taste.
Fu Hange closed her eyes. She had heard them arguing enough today. She didn't know if they were enemies or what, but they had been arguing since they met. It was so annoying. If it weren't for the fact that she had a special relationship with both of them, she was afraid that she would lose control and fight with them.
Liu Yunqi was still arguing with Xu Yi. Fu Hange couldn't stand it anymore and felt her brain was going to explode from their argument, so she simply called a car and left them behind.
After getting home, she took a shower and went straight to sleep, ignoring the noise from her phone.
The next day when she went to the Xu family's, Jiang Xiaoling rushed over and told her, "Sister Xu, Mingheng has sued you! What happened?"
Fu Hange sneered. Gu Yuan still had the nerve to go to court for such a shameful thing. He was truly shameless.
She sat down, took out the design draft, and said while looking at it, "Arrange a lawyer for me."
She spoke so calmly and without a ripple, which really startled Jiang Xiaoling. If it were anyone else, they probably would have been too frightened to think straight by now. You have to understand, Fu Hange being sued is a matter of life and death for the entire Xu family.
Inside the courtroom, Gu Yuan was already seated in the plaintiff's seat, with Bai Xin standing next to him. The lawyer sitting next to him looked like a greenhorn, clearly lacking practical experience. This scene truly relieved Fu Hange. Even if she lost this case today, she would only have to pay some money, and she would never get entangled with Gu Yuan again.
