Huo Jun was determined to make Chen Chongshan look foolish. He ordered almost all the most expensive dishes on the menu, and only stopped when the waiter reminded him that there wouldn't be enough room on the table.
Then Huo Jun ordered a bottle of imported red wine for the girls and a bottle of Moutai for the boys. The three girls and their boyfriends didn't make a sound, but you could tell from their expressions that they were still very excited.
Because of Chen Chongshan's circumstances, this group of people collectively lost their affection for him. Although Yuan Yuan still firmly called him her boyfriend, they believed that Yuan Yuan would soon come to her senses.
In their eyes, he was just a toad trying to eat swan meat. They thought it would be good to teach him a lesson today and make him back down in advance.
Chen Chongshan's expression remained largely unchanged. He still sat there with that faint smile, and when Yuan Yuan looked at him with a worried expression, he returned her a reassuring look.
Although Chen Chongshan hadn't anticipated that the dinner party would turn out this way, and the food and drinks alone probably cost at least 8,000 yuan, Chen Chongshan felt a little heartache, but not to the point of feeling it wasn't worth it.
Yuan Yuan has sacrificed so much for him, and he can do anything for her. Money is just an external thing; spend it when you should, and even if you spend all your money, it will come back.
The calmer Chen Chongshan appeared, the more hypocritical he seemed to the group of girls and Huo Jun. He had clearly said that he was an orphan, unemployed, and had to take care of a disabled younger brother, yet he was still acting so composed. Was he out of his mind?
Yuan Yuan was also a little puzzled by Chen Chongshan's calmness, but she thought that he was just pretending to be calm. She made up her mind to call Chen Chongshan out when she went to the bathroom later and give him her bank card. She originally just wanted to bring Chen Chongshan out to meet her classmates, but she did not expect it to turn out like this.
Although the food and drinks were expensive, the restaurant's service and speed of serving were indeed excellent. Not long after we ordered, the dishes started to be served one after another.
Huo Jun started laughing loudly, talking loudly with the girls and their boyfriends, drinking with each other. His family had some influence, so these men and women still paid him a lot of attention. Even though the main character today should have been Chen Chongshan, who was hosting, almost no one paid any attention to him anymore.
Fortunately, Chen Chongshan was already used to the coldness of society. They ignored him, so he didn't bother with them either. They didn't have anything in common to talk about anyway. They had their pride, and Chen Chongshan had his own pride.
Fortunately, Yuan Yuan always stood with Chen Chongshan. The two young people in love didn't care too much about other people's opinions.
Halfway through the meal, Yuan Yuan put down her chopsticks and said to Chen Chongshan, "Chongshan, come with me to the restroom."
"ah?"
Chen Chongshan was stunned for a moment, still somewhat confused, but Yuan Yuan pulled him back: "Let's go."
"Oh." Chen Chongshan stood up and followed behind Yuan Yuan, but just as they walked out of the private room, Huo Jun's sarcastic voice rang out from behind: "Dude, remember what you said, don't let a woman pay for it."
"snort."
Chen Chongshan paused for a moment, snorted coldly, and then followed Yuan Yuan out.
As they reached the restroom entrance, Yuan Yuan stopped, turned around, and took a bank card from her pocket, handing it to Chen Chongshan: "Chongshan, take this card. The PIN is my birthday. Use it when you go to pay the bill. I'm sorry, I didn't know they would bring other people today."
"Yuan Yuan, what are you doing?"
Upon hearing Yuan Yuan's words, Chen Chongshan gave a wry smile and then shook his head: "Yuan Yuan, I'm sorry, I made you lose face in front of your classmates."
"Why are you saying all this? It's our business that we're together. What does it have to do with them? There's nothing shameful about it. Their success is all thanks to their parents, while you're the one who's worked so hard for it all!"
Yuan Yuan shook her head and gave Chen Chongshan an encouraging smile: "Be confident. Take the card."
"Thank you, Yuan Yuan."
Chen Chongshan was somewhat touched. He smiled at Yuan Yuan, then shook his head: "Take the card back yourself. I have money."
"This meal is very expensive, where did you get the money?"
Yuan Yuan then slipped the card into Chen Chongshan's hand again.
"Even if a meal is expensive, it's still just a meal. I really have money, so don't worry."
Chen Chongshan smiled and explained, "We went to Wuhan with Brother Xu to compete this time, and we won first place, right? We got a prize of 100,000 yuan."
"Really?" Yuan Yuan was somewhat skeptical.
"Really, why would I lie to you?"
Chen Chongshan smiled and said, "Go back. If you go back too late, they'll really think you paid for my meal."
"All right."
Yuan Yuan smiled and nodded. Just as the two turned around, they suddenly heard a voice call out from behind: "Hey, Chongshan?"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this familiar business name, Chen Chongshan immediately smiled and then turned around and called out, "Brother Xu."
Xu Jiaming was surrounded by a group of people. He waved his hand, signaling them to move aside, and then walked over: "Oh, the young couple are having dinner here?"
"What? There's no rule that only you can come, but I can't?"
Chen Chongshan answered with a smile, and Yuan Yuan also called out "Brother Xu" shyly. Xu Jiaming nodded with a smile, but the group of people behind him all changed their expressions. They all knew Xu Jiaming's identity, and for a moment they looked at Chen Chongshan with doubt, guessing which family this guy belonged to.
Anyone who dares to joke with Xu Jiaming like that must at least be of equal status, right?
"Alright, you guys go back and eat. I have things to do too."
Xu Jiaming waved his hand and then said, "By the way, you don't need to pay the bill later, just put it in my name."
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Chen Chongshan smiled, and then led Yuan Yuan back to the private room. But before the two could sit down, that sarcastic voice rang out again: "Oh dear, you've been gone for so long, it can't be as simple as just going to the restroom, can it?"
"What, you're interfering with us even when we go to the restroom?"
Yuan Yuan said to Huo Jun with a cold face.
"I don't care if you go to the restroom, I'm just afraid you're not going to the restroom, but to transfer money to your gigolo," Huo Jun replied with a cold laugh.
"Huo Jun, watch your words, don't go too far."
Yuan Yuan, her face full of anger, coldly shouted at Huo Jun.
