The manager immediately sent someone to check the bills: "They came a total of eight times, and the charges for each visit are all here."
Huo Jiangliu glanced at it to indicate that he understood.
Qi Yang was astonished by the exorbitant amount: "Great, they still think we're easy targets. Let them pay."
Qu Jianghe was now in an awkward position; he had brought several of his henchmen with him. "What do you mean by this?" he asked.
Huo Jiangliu glanced at him sideways: "Isn't it normal for you to pay for your own expenses? Does Young Master Qu not have the ability to pay?"
Qu Jianghe: "Huo Jiangliu, I didn't expect you to be so stingy."
Mu Wenxi, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, was a little unhappy and wouldn't allow anyone to say anything bad about Huo Jiangliu.
She let go of Huo Jiangliu's hand and took a step forward: "Oh dear, this is the first time I've heard of someone calling someone who's shameless for buying on credit as a stingy seller. I wonder if all those designer brands are fake?"
Qu Jianghe's face turned pale and then red: "And who are you?"
Mu Wenxi: "Huo Jiangliu's protector."
Huo Jiangliu wasn't actually that angry. Mu Wenxi was speaking up for him, and her adorable appearance made him a little envious, his eyes filled with a smile.
The manager, only interested in keeping his job, had a staff member bring a card reader and handed it to Qu Jianghe: "Young Master Qu, please pay the bill."
Qu Jianghe was furious, but he had no choice but to take out his card, accept the bill, and was shocked by the amount: "Why is it so expensive?"
The manager chuckled and said, "Since you are not a friend of our young master Huo, you do not have the authority to use this private room. It was my negligence in not confirming it before, but since young master Qu clearly knew and was still using our private room, you were also at fault. Therefore, we have given you a 50% discount on the usage fee for the private room."
Qu Jianghe clenched his fist: "Huo Jiangliu, you've really gone too far. Don't you even recognize your own brother anymore?"
Before Huo Jiangliu could speak, Qi Yang jumped out first: "Bullshit, it's clearly you who don't recognize our Brother Huo. You didn't come to see Brother Huo even once when he was sick before, ptooey."
Qu Jianghe had nothing to say; they had left when he needed them.
Huo Jiangliu: "It's you yourselves who refuse to acknowledge it."
Qu Jianghe: "Okay, well done, let's go."
The manager stepped forward again with the card reader. Qu Jianghe glared at him and swiped the card, losing over 100 million yuan in an instant. He was sure to get a beating from the old man when he got back.
Some of the other underlings also left. One of them walked up to Huo Jiangliu and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Huo. I was forced into this situation. Congratulations on your recovery. I hope you will be magnanimous and not harm my family if you seek revenge."
Qi Yang: "Tch, we don't care about such petty behavior."
The man gave Huo Jiangliu a complicated look, bowed, and left.
Qi Yang watched them leave: "I'm so angry! What kind of people are they?"
Huo Jiangliu said to Wang Kun, "Let's change to another private room. We won't need this one anymore."
Wang Kun felt that he might have escaped a disaster.
Qi Yang, who had been cursing and swearing, turned around and saw that the two of them looked perfectly normal: "Aren't you angry?"
Huo Jiangliu: "There's nothing to be angry about."
Mu Wenxi: "They are all unimportant people. Don't let them upset you."
Qi Yang: "That's right, but I'm just angry."
Mu Wenxi pointed at Huo Jiangliu: "Then just think about how much money this guy just made."
Qi Yang thought of the bill: "I didn't expect them to spend so much. They're just treating Jiang Liu like a sucker. Hehe, Grandpa Qu will definitely go back and beat Qu Jianghe to a pulp."
Mu Wenxi: "So you all know each other."
Qi Yang: "We all grew up together and used to have a pretty good relationship. I never expected them to change like this."
Huo Jiangliu: "That's what you think. It wasn't actually that good before."
Huo Jiangliu didn't say whether he was sincere or not, but he could sense it.
Mu Wenxi: "You should be happy to have gotten rid of a piece of trash."
Qi Yang: "You're right. Once we get rid of this trash, Brother Huo's leg is all healed. We just need to stay away from these rotten people."
Mu Wenxi had to admit he was right; staying away from trash meant his luck was getting better and better.
Manager: "Young master, your new private room is ready."
Huo Jiangliu: "Let's go."
The three of them went to the new private room in high spirits.
After tonight's incident, everyone in the circle quickly learned that Huo Jiangliu's leg had healed. Originally, only people at the school knew, but now the Bei family knows as well.
During the day, when Bei Ying saw Huo Jiangliu stand up at school, her face turned pale with regret. She had personally handed this fortune over to Mu Wenxi. When she got home in the evening, she didn't dare to tell her family about it.
But Bei's father still found out.
"It's over, it's over, Huo Jiangliu has stood up."
As Bei Ying was about to eat, she heard her father talking to himself. Realizing something was wrong, she quickly turned around.
Father: "Stop right there!"
Bei Ying: "Dad".
Father Bei: "Tell me, is it really true that Huo Jiangliu has stood up?"
Bei Ying bit her lower lip and nodded under her father's sharp gaze.
Mr. Bei slumped onto the sofa: "What do we do now? The Huo family will definitely retaliate against us."
Bei Ying: "Dad, no, we didn't do anything. Besides, we sent my cousin there. My cousin and Huo Jiangliu seem to get along well, so it should be fine."
Father Bei: "Yes, yes, and Mu Wenxi too, call her quickly."
When Mu Wenxi received the call, he was playing cards with Huo Jiangliu and Qi Yang in a private room: "I'll call you later."
She looked and saw that Bei Ying hadn't answered, but the phone kept ringing, disturbing them several times.
Huo Jiangliu: "Answer it."
The two watched her silently as Mu Wenxi answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.
Bei Ying: "Cousin, you finally answered the phone..."
Mu Wenxi interrupted her: "What do you want?"
Bei Ying: "Huo Jiangliu really stood up?"
Mu Wenxi: "Hmm."
Mr. Bei patted Bei Ying on the shoulder and said, "Let me speak."
Bei Ying handed the phone to her father.
Mr. Bei: "Xiao Xi, I heard that Young Master Huo has stood up?"
Mu Wenxi frowned: "What is it?"
Father Bei: "Xiao Xi, do you think you've made Young Master Huo so magnanimous that he'll forget about the past?"
Mu Wenxi: "We've settled everything."
Mr. Bei pressed his advantage: "Look, you're also part of our family. When are you coming back? The Huo family can't keep having you take care of Young Master Huo forever."
Mu Wenxi: "I have severed ties with you."
Father Bei asked in surprise, "When?"
Mu Wenxi deliberately provoked him: "When you pushed me into the Huo family, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be enjoying endless wealth and luxury now."
Mr. Bei, barely containing his anger, demanded, "You! Xiao Xi, did the Huo family give you money?"
Mu Wenxi: "So many!"
Father Bei: "Xiao Xi, come back. I was just saying those things in anger. How could I have severed ties with you?"
Mu Wenxi didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and before hanging up, she didn't mind making them angry one last time: "I'm very rich now, don't bother me anymore."
