Chapter 24 I contracted an illness as a child
Cuiyun Residence.
The most upscale and expensive restaurant in the entire city of Chang'an.
"Brother, I was reckless before. I'll punish myself with a drink to apologize." Fang Yi'ai tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp.
“Not bad, not bad…” Wei Shuyu nodded in satisfaction.
Then... *smack!*
He slapped Choi Shin-ki on the forehead with his backhand.
"Look how sensible Xiao Ai is, she immediately knew to invite me to dinner and drinks."
"Look at yourself again. Not only did you not invite me to dinner, but you also dared to mock me for eating coarse grains?"
Wei Shuyu immediately launched into a tirade.
Choi Shin-ki covered his head in grievance, but his eyes were fixed on Fang Yi-ai.
That damn show-off is vying for my attention again.
Fang Yi'ai returned a defiant look.
"Don't mind him, Xiao Ai'ai. Xiao Jiji is just being silly. Did he hurt you today?" Wei Shuyu smiled and returned the smile with kindness.
"Don't worry, brother."
Fang Yi'ai patted his chest loudly: "My body is still very strong. The divine foundation hitting me is like a tickle."
How could Choi Shin-ki tolerate such words?
It's one thing for them to compete with me for favor, but they also want to step on me to get ahead?
This is intolerable!
"You're talking nonsense! This morning I beat you so badly you were crying and begging for mercy..." Choi Shin-ki slammed his hand on the table, spitting as he cursed.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu presented another handful of seeds.
"What are you yelling about? You think you're the only one with a loud voice?" Wei Shuyu cursed.
"Big brother, I was the first one to follow you, you can't show favoritism to me," Choi Shin-ki said, sounding aggrieved.
"If you offer me a drink, I'll greet you with a smile too." Wei Shuyu rolled his eyes.
"I'll even take you to a brothel," Choi Shin-ki muttered.
"Go shopping my ass! You didn't see a single pretty girl, you even got into a fight for me, and then you brought two troublemakers home with you."
It's better not to mention this matter, because mentioning Wei Shuyu makes me angry.
Having spent his entire previous life in a state of constant tension, he now simply wants to be a carefree second-generation official.
Eating and drinking freely is so delicious.
I have to cause him some trouble.
“Brother, stop cursing Shenji. We’re all on the same side. Come on, let’s drink…” Fang Yi’ai poured Wei Shuyu a cup.
"Look how sensible Xiao Ai is."
Wei Shuyu picked up his wine glass, then suddenly seemed to remember something: "Wait... are you even an adult? Why are you drinking?"
Fang Yi'ai paused in his drinking motion.
"Isn't it because I'm happy to see my older brother? Let's have a few drinks."
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
"Why would someone underage drink alcohol? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
Should.
Seeing that Fang Yi'ai had also been beaten, Choi Shin-ki sat to the side and chuckled.
"Brother, having a few drinks won't make a difference. Sometimes at the dinner table, Father even offers me drinks," Fang Yi'ai muttered to himself.
*Smack*
It's that familiar taste again.
"Your father is your father, and you're not allowed to drink in front of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Shuyu took a small sip of wine.
The concentration is very low, but the taste is not bad.
Then he took the wine jug and resumed his policy of allowing officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people from even lighting lamps...
Fang Yi'ai was dumbfounded, but Cui Shenji was used to it.
At the dinner table.
Wei Shuyu ate and drank heartily, while the two men glared at each other.
Upon seeing Wei Shuyu, the two immediately revealed fawning smiles.
Wei Shuyu looked away, and then a fierce spark ignited.
"Tap tap..."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
As Fang Yi'ai finished speaking, a waiter entered.
"Gentlemen, a distinguished guest would like to invite you to a private room upstairs for a chat." The servant bowed respectfully.
"Oh ho?" Choi Shin-ki spat. "Quite the airs, inviting people without even showing up in person."
Turning his head, Cui Shenji whispered to Wei Shuyu, "Brother, this person is of high status."
Wei Shuyu looked at him with newfound respect: "Not bad, you've learned to use your brain now."
Choi Shin-ki cast a smug look at Fang Yi-ai.
Fang Yi'ai was unconvinced and immediately offered a suggestion: "Brother, even I can't book the private rooms on the third floor. They are only open to those who are not Dukes or above, or to powerful and influential people we know well."
Is he of such high status?
Wei Shuyu stroked his chin, pondering whether or not to accept the invitation.
Choi Shin-ki and Bang Yi-ae were already arguing about who was upstairs.
*Slap slap*
One person, one brain.
"What's all the noise about? If you want to know who it is, just ask the waiter or go upstairs to check, right?" Wei Shuyu said speechlessly.
The two covered their heads, looking aggrieved.
"We've almost finished eating, let's go..."
They had booked the second floor, but after leaving the house, Wei Shuyu did not go up to the third floor, but went straight downstairs.
"Big brother, shall we go upstairs and take a look?" Choi Shin-ki asked in a low voice.
"Are you full?"
Choi Shin-ki nodded.
"Why would we go up to the third floor after we've eaten? Are we just looking for trouble?"
Yes, that makes a lot of sense.
The group continued walking towards the door.
"The three of you, wait a minute..."
Just then, the waiter's voice rang out again.
"How annoying! We already said we weren't going to the private room on the third floor..." Choi Shin-ki turned around and glared angrily.
"Well... well, the three of you haven't paid yet," the waiter replied, flustered and hesitant.
Swish...
Wei Shuyu and Cui Shenji both looked at Fang Yi'ai.
"Put it on my tab, I'll have someone bring it over later," Fang Yi'ai said nonchalantly.
“Young Master Fang, you always say that. Now you’ve bought eight meals on credit, totaling forty strings of cash.”
Swish...
Wei Shuyu and Cui Shenji both looked at Fang Yi'ai again.
Even if Ren Fangyi had a thick skin, he would feel embarrassed at this moment.
"What's the rush? I am the son of the Duke of Liang, would I ever cheat you out of your little bit of money?" Fang Yi'ai said angrily.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
"Is this what you meant by inviting me to dinner and drinks?" Wei Shuyu was furious.
I thought I had finally found a 'wise and brave' subordinate, but it turns out he's just a shameless piece of trash.
“That’s right, that’s right…” Choi Shin-ki never missed an opportunity to strike at Fang Yi-ai, and immediately began to gloat and fan the flames from the sidelines.
“Brother, Yixin is treacherous and has ulterior motives. I suggest we give him a good beating and throw him into the latrine.”
Fang Yi'ai: "..."
"Do you have any money?" Wei Shuyu continued to press Fang Yi'ai.
“This…that…” Fang Yi’ai stammered.
“Brother, I understand. The Fang family is richer than yours, but they’re still poor!” Choi Shin-ki continued to add fuel to the fire: “And look at how flashy they are dressed, they probably have a lot of debt elsewhere.”
After hearing what Choi Shin-ki said, Wei Shuyu suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.
When Fang Yi'ai looked at the house, his gaze was unusually strange.
Fang Yi'ai is a complete spendthrift.
"Waaah... Big brother, I'm so heartbroken!"
“I’ve had this disease since I was a child. I need to eat the best food and wear the best clothes... otherwise I will be in unbearable pain.” Fang Yi’ai said, tears streaming down his face.
Bang.
Wei Shuyu kicked him to the ground.
"Little Kiki, beat him up!"
"It's not like nobody doesn't have this disease."
