Chapter 174 I'm sincere about what I said
Guan Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed to speak, her eyes dodging, but looking at the waiter who was still waiting not far away and Meng Ting and Li Wen who were staring at her, she could only bite the bullet and say:
"I invited my classmates out for a party today, but when I was paying the bill I realized I didn't have enough money, so..."
"How much more do you need?"
Zhu Xiang was a man who cared a lot about face. When he heard that Guan Xiaoxiao was treating her classmates to a meal, he thought that if he paid for her, those people would definitely think he was a generous and good husband, so he was not so disgusted. He was even thinking about transferring another 200,000 yuan to her.
But who knew, Guan Xiaoxiao bit her lip and whispered:
"We still need 500,000."
When Zhu Xiang heard this number, he exploded and yelled into the phone:
"How much did you spend on this meal? I usually only spend around 100,000 yuan when I go out to meet clients. Your classmates can't really help me with my work, and you're treating them to such an expensive meal. You're such a spendthrift woman!"
Guan Xiaoxiao was frightened by Zhu Xiang's roar and trembled. She held her cell phone tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. The people passing by gave her strange looks, which made her feel even more embarrassed.
Guan Xiaoxiao said a little aggrievedly:
"Hubby, I really didn't mean it. I didn't know the wine was so expensive. Please help me this time, or I'll be embarrassed in front of my classmates."
Zhu Xiang was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, thinking in his heart that if he didn't transfer money to Guan Xiaoxiao, she would be embarrassed in front of her classmates, and he would also lose face. He was also worried that Guan Xiaoxiao would make a scene outside and affect his reputation.
"Okay, I'll transfer it to you, and your pocket money will be cancelled for the next two months."
When Guan Xiaoxiao heard Zhu Xiang agreed to transfer the money, she finally felt relieved. Now she didn't want to worry about pocket money in the future. As long as she coaxed him into bed, why would she be afraid of not getting pocket money?
"Thank you, husband. You are the best."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Xiaoxiao wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and tried to make herself look calmer. Then she walked back to the front desk and said calmly:
"My husband will transfer the money in a moment. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
The receptionist still kept smiling and nodded:
"Yes, miss."
Mengting and Li Wen watched Guan Xiaoxiao from the side and felt a little sympathy for her. Although Guan Xiaoxiao was usually a bit arrogant, she was humiliated at the class reunion and scolded by her husband, which was quite pitiful.
Meng Ting walked forward, patted Guan Xiaoxiao's shoulder gently and said:
"Xiaoxiao, don't take it too seriously. We'll definitely teach Mu Nanyan a lesson when we get a chance next time."
"I won't let this go." Guan Xiaoxiao said hatefully.
At this moment, Guan Xiaoxiao received a text message on her phone, telling her that she had received the 500,000 yuan transferred by Zhu Xiang. She quickly showed her phone to the front desk:
"The money has arrived. Please swipe the card again."
The receptionist took the phone, took a look at it, and then operated the POS machine again. This time, the transaction was successful. Guan Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to embarrass herself here anymore.
After paying the bill, the three of them walked out of Yunding Tianque.

Mu Nanyan walked out of the box and was about to leave when she unexpectedly ran into Shangguan Jiuze at the door. Shangguan Jiuze greeted her warmly:
"Long time no see, Nan Yan."
"I haven't seen you for a few days."
Mu Nanyan responded with a smile, but she was a little surprised in her heart. She didn't expect Shangguan Jiuze to appear here. Did they make an appointment to come here and play together?
Just as Mu Nanyan was thinking, Su Muyang also walked out of the box. Shangguan Jiuze saw this and asked with a smile:
"Your class reunion is over so soon? Why are you all out?"
"Um."
Su Muyang responded indifferently, but his eyes always stayed on Mu Nanyan.
Mu Nanyan did not go to see Su Muyang. She could face other old classmates calmly, but she found it difficult to calm down when facing Su Muyang.
Mu Nanyan looked at Shangguan Jiuze and said:
"Then go play, I have something to do so I'll leave first."
Shangguan Jiuze smiled and tried to persuade her, "What can you do on this weekend? We finally met, why don't you come up and play with us?"
Su Muyang also spoke:
"Yanyan, play with us for a while before leaving."
Mu Nanyan seemed to have just noticed Su Muyang coming out. She looked at Su Muyang and said calmly:
"Mu Yang, thank you for helping me out today. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."
Shangguan Jiuze heard this and immediately interrupted:
"Don't postpone it to another day, let's do it tonight. I haven't even had dinner with you yet, how about letting me have a free meal?"
At this moment, Su Muyang suddenly spoke, his tone serious and straightforward:
"Yan Yan, I didn't say that to save you. I meant it."
Mu Nanyan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. In her memory, Su Muyang was always gentlemanly and considerate, and never made her feel embarrassed.
But since she came back, Su Muyang's words and actions have become blunt and direct, often catching her off guard.
Mu Nanyan could only choose to ignore his words, and turned to look at Shangguan Jiuze, forcing a smile:
"Okay, then I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Shangguan Jiuze noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two, but still smiled and tried to smooth things over:
"Okay, it's still early, so why don't you come play with us? We'll have dinner together tonight."
Mu Nanyan nodded with mixed feelings.
Su Muyang was not angry when he saw that Mu Nanyan did not respond to him. The three of them went to box 888 together.
————
In box 888, the lights were soft, the music was gentle, and several people were sitting around on the sofa playing games.
Seeing Shangguan Jiuze and Su Muyang push the door open, one of them immediately smiled and waved:
"Brother Ze, Brother Yang, you're finally here! Come over here quickly, we're short of people!"
Shangguan Jiuze responded with a smile:
"There was a bit of traffic on the road, so it delayed us for a while."
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Muyang and Mu Nanyan behind him. Noticing that Su Muyang seemed to have something to say to Mu Nanyan, he suddenly had an idea and deliberately raised his voice:
"Hey, you guys, don't just sit there, come on, let's go over there and do something exciting, don't just sit here!"
Hearing this, several people sitting on the sofa stood up one after another:
"Okay, Brother Ze, what tricks do you want to play?"
Shangguan Jiuze pushed them while smiling, and winked at Su Muyang:
"Let's go, stop dawdling and give others some space."
After saying this, he did not forget to turn around and wave to Mu Nanyan and Su Muyang:
"You two can chat first. We'll go play over there for a while and come back to see you later."
Mu Nanyan stood there awkwardly, watching Shangguan Jiuze and a group of people walk away in a lively manner, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
She turned to look at Su Muyang and found that he was looking at her intently, his eyes deep and complex.
