Walking up to the crowd, the middle-aged man said arrogantly, "Hello, I am 'My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.' My real name is Liu Li, you can call me Brother Li."
He deliberately arrived late, and even went to the hair salon to get his hair done, all to make his entrance more impressive.
However, his peacock-like appearance clearly lacked the imposing aura one might expect, and several female players secretly covered their mouths and chuckled.
However, some quick-witted people ignored his flamboyant performance and enthusiastically introduced themselves to each other, preventing any awkward silences. Tang Xiaoxiao and the deputy gang leader exchanged a glance and stepped forward. Tang Xiaoxiao was too lazy to exchange pleasantries with this person, so the deputy gang leader spoke up: "Hello, Brother Li, my name is Gao Yi, and this is 'Xiaoxiao'."
Liu Li had been secretly harboring resentment towards Tang Xiaoxiao, planning to vent his anger on her after their meeting. However, he hadn't expected her to be such a stunning beauty, and he was immediately captivated. His expression was undisguised, his lustful eyes scanning Tang Xiaoxiao from head to toe, a sight witnessed by everyone around them. Tang Xiaoxiao, also intending to teach him a lesson, naturally wouldn't pretend not to notice, and immediately her face turned cold: "Have you looked enough?"
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling undertone. Tang Xiaoxiao had been all smiles and very friendly all afternoon, so her sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.
Liu Li was secretly annoyed by her blunt retort, but he couldn't bring himself to be angry at her. He just grinned and said, "Oh, it's just that Xiaoxiao is so beautiful, I can't take my eyes off her! I never expected our guild to have such a beauty, it's such a surprise." He then turned to the people around him and said, "Don't you all agree? Such a beautiful woman, everyone would take a second look! Don't be offended! Don't be offended!"
Someone tried to smooth things over, saying, "Yeah, haha, I was stunned when I first saw Xiaoxiao too. Li-ge's reaction is normal; everyone loves beauty!"
Tang Xiaoxiao said with a forced smile, "Then Brother Li, you'd better be careful in the future. If you can't control yourself when you see a pretty girl, it'll be a bit dangerous for you when you're out and about. I have a good temper, but others may not."
Without waiting for Liu Li's expression, he waved the bill in his hand and said, "Now that our patron has arrived, this should be given to you. Please go to the front desk to settle the bill."
The slender hand was stretched out in front of him. Liu Li really wanted to reach out and touch it, but in the end he didn't have the courage. He could only take the bill, without even looking at the number on it, and went straight to the front desk.
After he walked away, a group of people began to whisper among themselves. Although Tang Xiaoxiao had confronted him directly without giving him any face, no one thought she had gone too far. They had also seen Liu Li's gaze, which was indeed very blatant. Several female players were whispering and cursing him as disgusting. The boys were also somewhat embarrassed. Liu Li was the one who had been humiliated, but as men, they also felt ashamed.
Everyone thought that Tang Xiaoxiao was a rich and beautiful woman, and she must have no shortage of suitors. It was normal for her to be annoyed when she was stared at so blatantly by such an unremarkable man on their first meeting.
Beautiful women always have special privileges; even if they do something wrong, they deserve to be forgiven, let alone the fact that they did nothing wrong.
So that was a good rebuttal, a brilliant one!
Liu Li had no idea that he had spent a lot of money to pay for everyone's things, but instead of showing off, he had left everyone with a very bad impression.
Tang Xiaoxiao consulted everyone's opinions. The one with the most pressing time was to leave in two days, so she booked two days' accommodation and meals in advance. Since there were two men and two women in their group, they would share a room. The total cost of the two-day private room and banquet was 118,640 yuan, and the hotel even rounded it down.
Liu Li's heart ached as he paid the bill. He had never spent money so lavishly in his life, especially since it wasn't even for himself. But there was nothing he could do; he had already made the boast, and even if it exceeded his expectations, he had to grit his teeth and pay.
Otherwise, where would he put his face?
His family's demolition compensation was all in his father's hands, and he had to beg and plead to get 500,000 yuan for spending money. He had already invested a lot in the game, and now he only had a little over 300,000 yuan left. With more than 100,000 yuan gone at once, he was really starting to regret it.
At that moment, he didn't know that this was just the beginning.
