Chapter 858 - 590: The Banquet at Hongmen
"Zhiyuan, you're so good to me~~"
Han Zihan acted shyly, and Yang Zhiyuan was instantly overjoyed!
After all, the relationship between a goddess and a bootlicker is like one second of charging, and a whole year of bootlicking!
Bootlicker No. 11, ready to fight!
"Tonight, Hanhan, just sit back and watch the show. I'm going to make Xia Liang cry and kneel before you!"
Yang Zhiyuan was pounding his chest loudly.
Han Zihan secretly laughed; Yang Zhiyuan's family background was quite impressive!
Net worth, at least several dozen Yuan, and it was said he had relatives doing business in the Imperial Capital, so he was very confident.
But still, he didn't catch Han Zihan's eye.
Han Zihan's standard—at least starting from a hundred Yuan household!
Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan could only rank as bootlicker No. 11.
But dealing with an ordinary Xia Liang?
Han Zihan had high hopes for Yang Zhiyuan's performance tonight.
"I didn't really want to do anything to Xia Liang, just wanted to advise some classmates not to be too ostentatious, there are always people better than you."
Han Zihan's green tea skills were fully loaded.
"Hanhan, you're too kind. Xia Liang, this poser dog, must be beaten up!"
Yang Zhiyuan sneered continuously.
"I was afraid he wouldn't come, so I purposely invited his close friend Li Xuelei to lower his guard."
"Oh, oh!"
The goddess gave a thumbs up!
The Caesar Hotel was the only four-star hotel in this county town.
Xia Liang and Li Xuelei both arrived at the Caesar Hotel and met up.
"Xia Liang?"
Upon seeing Li Xuelei, Xia Liang noticed he was dressed very plainly, a bit shabby even.
"You haven't changed a bit!"
"Neither have you!"
Xia Liang was dressed very casually.
When close friends met, they warmly greeted each other with a punch.
That's the friendship between men; even if they haven't been in touch for ten years, one punch and they're back in sync.
"Come on, let's head to room 606."
Li Xuelei pushed open the private room door, where Yang Zhiyuan sat at the seat of honor, exuding a powerful aura!
Han Zihan sat beside him, looking like a goddess.
Several others surrounded Yang Zhiyuan, they were all his lackeys.
Yang Zhiyuan didn't stand up, and arrogantly said.
"Yo, Xia Liang? Li Xuelei? You two finally arrived? Come, sit here!"
"Sorry for being late."
Xia Liang didn't mind and sat down directly.
He glanced at Han Zihan and understood instantly.
Tonight, a trap was set.
Nowadays, hometown reunions have changed, hardly about rekindling old friendships anymore, instead becoming a [show-off competition]. Whoever is successful is considered a classmate; those who aren't simply don't show up.
Xia Liang didn't really care.
The banquet just began~~
Yang Zhiyuan couldn't wait and got straight to the point.
"Xia Liang!"
Yang Zhiyuan gave Xia Liang a malicious glance.
"You came the latest today, so later, you pick up the tab, alright?"
This was a trap Yang Zhiyuan had long planned!
Caesar is the most expensive hotel in the county, with such a private room, plus Yang Zhiyuan intentionally ordering a big table of dishes!
With sea cucumbers and abalones.
This table probably wouldn't come for less than several cents.
Yang Zhiyuan sneered smugly.
A heavy blow to Xia Liang!
Xia Liang smiled but hadn't spoken when Li Xuelei couldn't hold back!
"Hey! Yang Zhiyuan, you previously told me our reunion was on a split bill, that's why I invited Xia Liang. Why are you changing your mind now? Making him pay?"
Li Xuelei, with his straightforward nature, spoke up righteously.
"No way!"
Yang Zhiyuan sneered once.
"I did plan for splitting the bill, but now seeing in the WeChat Moments that Xia Liang has struck it rich!"
The people around, who were already in cahoots, started clamoring.
"Yeah! What do you mean? Slapping Xia Liang in the face?"
Liu Qiang said mockingly: "What, Xia Liang can't afford it?"
A male classmate sneered.
"Li Xuelei, if you want to cling to a big shot, want to cozy up to Xia Liang, treat yourself then? But you can't walk over us, making Brother Yang seem like he can't afford this hotel and deliberately trapping Xia Liang."
People chimed in, pointing fingers again at Yang Zhiyuan and Han Zihan, scolding Li Xuelei.
"Exactly! Do you know how much Brother Yang spent on a bag for the goddess Han? That Chanel bag now costs 8 points!"
Xia Liang was a bit speechless; they hadn't even settled in when faced with a storm of attacks.
Han Zihan smiled demurely, her sweet smile hiding sinister intentions.
This was obviously a set-up.
Xia Liang, how are you going to handle this?
Li Xuelei was anxious and regretted.
If only he knew this was a trap, he wouldn't have invited Xia Liang.
But Xia Liang calmly said.
"Since we're all classmates! Classmate friendship is the most important! This meal, I'm treating, I'll treat!"
He smiled slightly and actually agreed directly!
Seeing Xia Liang so straightforward, they were all dumbfounded!
What the heck!
Unexpectedly.
They had originally planned to set a trap, to make Xia Liang feel embarrassed.
If Xia Liang refused, they would pounce and ridicule him, mocking Xia Liang for boasting in his WeChat Moments about tearing a goddess.
Who knew~~
Xia Liang actually agreed!
Now, the people were dumbfounded!
This wasn't how the script was written, huh?
How to act now?
Li Xuelei was a bit anxious.
"Xia Liang, this meal isn't cheap, why should you treat?"
With a smile, Xia Liang said.
"No problem, no problem, we're all classmates! Classmate friendship is the most important, we have to eat well and drink well, right? If it's not enough, feel free to order more."
Han Zihan's face turned beet red, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood!
Damn it!
Xia Liang, you're still pretending?
Hmph hmph~~
I'll let you pretend!
She giggled, picking up the menu.
"Since old classmate Xia Liang is so generous, I won't be polite then?"
Xia Liang nodded.
"Order as you like."
Han Zihan quickly began ordering.
"I want this, this, and this!"
She ordered whatever was expensive!
All her anger towards Xia Liang was vented on the menu.
She had determined that Xia Liang had no money, and his calmness was just an act.
Han Zihan's aggressive ordering was fierce.
"Can you tell us how much it is?"
The waiter glanced over.
"You've already ordered too much, you won't be able to finish it."
"It's none of your business whether we finish it! Just tell us how much?"
Han Zihan glared at Xia Liang sneering.
"Currently, it's two cents!"
The waiter stuck out his tongue.
The price even startled him.
Han Zihan feigned surprise.
"Wow, Xia Liang, I accidentally ordered such an expensive bill, you won't blame me, will you?"
Xia Liang smiled slightly.
"Not at all, it's not expensive! Not at all!"
Yang Zhiyuan watched Xia Liang gracefully, so angry he was about to explode.
Damn it!
So frustrating.
Let me do it!
He snapped his fingers.
"Waiter, another bottle of wine. Romani Conti Grand Garden Red Wine!"
"What?"
Li Xuelei frowned angrily.
"Yang Zhiyuan, you don't have to go too far! This red wine is expensive, at least starting from 1 cent!"
"Oh, oh, Xia Liang now has money, what's a mere bottle of red wine?"
Yang Zhiyuan feigned surprise.
"Don't judge others by your own standards? Bring a 2008 bottle! Two and a half cents for that kind."
"Yes."
The waiter nodded.
