In their eyes, what difference was there between food that Wang Wei had touched and garbage?
"Wang Wei, are you crazy? Do you think you can afford to eat this stuff? Don't you know who you are?"
"Someone as poor as him dares to eat seafood? He's gone mad with poverty..."
"Get out of here! Don't ruin our meal..."
The three men took turns berating and insulting Wang Wei...
"You bastard, didn't your father teach you anything about manners?"
"Hmph! Just look at the way he's been reincarnated as a starving ghost, you can tell his father has no manners either, so there's no way he'd teach him anything about manners..."
Upon hearing these words, Wang Wei put down his chopsticks. He could be insulted, but his father could not. His father's hair had turned white from supporting his education. How could he tolerate others humiliating his father?
Getting a free meal is important, but dignity is more important...
He stood up, his eyes red, glaring at his three roommates. These three, relying on their powerful backgrounds, had been bullying him in the dorm. Serving him tea and water was bad enough, but the worst part was that they made him wash his socks and underwear…
He'd endured so much for so long, and yet he was subjected to such insults just for trying to get a free meal…
"Enough! You've got some manners! So what if you have a little money? What's so great about that?"
"Oh, you're angry now? Looks like you're planning to sleep in the hallway..."
Jack Zhao threatened sarcastically, tilting his head back as he spoke to show his arrogance…
"A descendant of a Runren (a derogatory term for a pro-Japanese person), I really don't know what you have to be proud of. In China, someone like you would be a traitor. You should be glad that China is a harmonious society, otherwise I would have already smashed you to death with a hammer and shown you what true civility is..."
Wang Wei's sudden outburst stunned the three of them, but Li Moxuan, who was the first to react, sneered.
"Since you're so tough, then don't try to freeload here. I won't make things difficult for you. This meal costs four thousand yuan, but with a coupon, it's half price. There are four of us, so it'll be five hundred yuan each after splitting the bill. If you can come up with five hundred yuan, we can call it even..."
Jack Zhao and Lu Ming, who were standing nearby, immediately realized what was happening. They knew Wang Wei all too well; his monthly allowance was only 150 yuan, and sometimes it wasn't even deposited on time…
They were quite certain that Wang Wei probably didn't even have two hundred yuan on him, and it was impossible for him to produce five hundred yuan...
"Oh, oh, oh... It's only five hundred yuan. You can't even afford five hundred yuan? Look at his shabby appearance, his whole outfit isn't even worth a hundred yuan. How could he possibly have five hundred yuan? It's shameful..."
Jack Zhao reverted to his arrogant demeanor, his face full of disdainful mockery!
How could you two treat your roommate like this?
Lu Ming suddenly changed the subject, and the three of them looked at him in confusion. He was the one who looked down on Wang Wei the most. Why did he change his mind this time?
However, his next words immediately made Jack Zhao and Li Moxuan burst into laughter!
"Wang Wei, my dad knows the owner of this restaurant. If we're really short on money, I'll put in a good word with him. You can wash dishes here for ten days or half a month, and that'll cover the cost of this meal..."
These humiliating words almost made Wang Wei lose his temper on the spot, but he managed to remain rational...
"What would you say if I could come up with these five hundred yuan?"
"If you can come up with five hundred yuan, I'll go wash dishes right now..."
Jack Zhao looked at Wang Wei with disdain and said with a confident expression!
"Wang Wei, if you can come up with five hundred yuan, I guarantee I'll lick all the plates here clean today..."
Lu Ming said with an extremely ugly expression!
"If you can come up with five hundred yuan, I'll let you be the dorm leader..."
Li Moxuan said nonchalantly, "I believe Wang Wei doesn't have that much money..."
"You'd better remember what you said. I recorded all the oaths you swore, so don't end up contradicting yourselves..."
Wang Wei knew he wouldn't be getting a free meal today. He took out his bank card, placed it on the table, and calmly said...
"Let the waiter swipe my card..."
"Oh, you even took out your bank card. I wonder how much money you have on this card? Ten yuan? Or twenty yuan? You don't even have ten yuan, do you?"
Jack Zhao mocked arrogantly!
"Wang Wei, I gave you a chance. If you were willing to stay at the restaurant and wash dishes, I would have paid the five hundred yuan for you..."
Lu Ming's tone was sarcastic, as if he were bestowing charity, but this kind of humiliating help was even more unacceptable than direct insults...
"Since he wants to embarrass himself, then let him continue to embarrass himself..."
After Li Moxuan finished speaking, he pressed the service bell, and soon a waiter appeared in the private room…
"Go and get the card reader, and call over all the less busy waiters..."
Upon hearing Li Moxuan's instructions, the waiter quickly brought over the card reader, followed by more than a dozen other people...
Li Moxuan grinned maliciously at Wang Wei before speaking.
"Don't say I'm being disrespectful. Lu Ming gave you a choice, and you gave it up yourself. Today, let everyone see how someone who doesn't even have two hundred yuan can swipe five hundred yuan out of their card..."
Seeing this, the waiters, being shrewd individuals, immediately understood what Li Moxuan was up to, and so they all began to humiliate Wang Wei…
This made Wang Wei's face turn ugly; how could he possibly argue with so many people all by himself...
"Swipe card..."
He said through gritted teeth!
The waiter didn't waste any time, directly entered the amount, and started swiping the card...
Everyone watched Wang Wei's movements with tension. Every time he pressed a number, their hearts skipped a beat, especially his three roommates, who frowned deeply...
Wang Wei's decisive action in swiping his card left them wondering if he really had five hundred yuan...
Card swipe successful!
When those four words were played out from the card reader, the three men's faces immediately darkened...
"Wang Wei, did you do this on purpose?"
Li Moxuan roared angrily at Wang Wei. They felt that Wang Wei was deliberately humiliating them in this way. He completely forgot that the whole thing was started by the three of them, and Wang Wei was just reacting passively...
"You couldn't possibly have that much money. You must have stolen something. Did you steal things from the dorm to sell? Poor people like you have no morals whatsoever; that's definitely what happened..."
Lu Ming actually voiced his own conjecture as fact. His first reaction was that Wang Wei had stolen something. After all, Wang Wei had left such a deep impression on them that it was easier to believe that the meal was free than to believe that Wang Wei had five hundred yuan.
"Hmph! Shouldn't you be doing something now? Like washing the dishes? Or showing us how to lick the dishes clean?"
Having swiped his card, Wang Wei felt emboldened and returned the humiliation he had just suffered...
