Chapter 98 Unexpected Outcome

  Li Yi's expression was calm and his deep eyes didn't reveal what he was thinking. Zhang Guilian couldn't tell if Li Yi really had money or just pretended to be rich. Since she couldn't persuade Li Yi, Zhang Guilian said a few more words and then let Li Yi go order food. Just after Li Yi left, Wang Dazhu walked in.

  Wang Dazhu sat down and said, "Xiaolian, have you gone too far this time?"

  Zhang Guilian sighed, she had known it was going too far, now how to end it, said: "The thing has happened, what can I do?"

  "I don't know either, let's just order some dishes randomly later!" Wang Dazhu is a typical honest and kind-hearted person, and he doesn't have many thoughts.

  Zhang Guilian thought for a moment and said: "Did you bring your card?"

  "It's here." said Wang Dazhu.

  "How much money is left?" Zhang Guilian asked, "If it's really not enough, we'll pay for the meal later!"

  "All the money I've earned from working over the years is here, several tens of thousands, this is for Shanshan's university tuition, we can't touch it." Wang Dazhu said.

  "What are you talking about at this time? Do you think he can really come up with that much money?" Zhang Guilian said, "Isn't that house sparkling? If they really don't have the money to go to college, sell the house. Besides, if Li Yi really can't come up with the money, he won't be able to show his face in front of Sparkling either, which is also good for Sparkling's future."

  "But they truly love each other, can you bear to separate them?" Wang Dazhu asked.

  "What is true love if he can't even afford to pay the bill, yet boasts about having money in front of us? Do you think such a person is reliable?" Zhang Guilian retorted.

  Wang Dazhu thought for a moment and said, "What you say makes sense."

  As the two of them were talking, the dishes had already been served, with plate after plate of exquisite delicacies placed on the table, quickly adding up to over a dozen. These dishes were not cheap, aside from some common ones, there were also many abalones and lobsters, as well as numerous famous dishes that Li Yi had only seen on TV before.

  Old Wang still looked calm and didn't seem worried about the bill. He invited everyone to "eat well, drink well, or it would be a pity."

  Zhang Guilian and Wang Dazhu walked out and saw so many dishes, they were all stunned.

  However, neither of them said anything and picked up their chopsticks to eat, but their mood was very complicated.

  Li Yi and Wang Shanshan sat down together, Wang Shanshan found that there were no drinks on the table, said: "Li Yi, how about we get some orange juice and Sprite?"

  "Waiter, bring some drinks." Li Yi looked at Old Wang and said, "Grandpa Wang, how about a bottle?"

  "Alright! It's been a long time since I've had a drink, let's have some! Your uncle loves drinking the most." Old Wang said with a smile.

  Zhang Guilian was speechless for a moment, the wine and water here are so expensive! She hurriedly said: "No need, we just drink some beverages."

  "Yes! Dad, you'd better not drink anymore." Wang Dazhu also said.

  "How can this be? Of course we have to drink well on our first meeting, are you worried that Li Yi doesn't have money to pay the bill?" Old Wang said with a smile.

  Since things have come to this point, Zhang Guilian gritted her teeth and said: "Then bring one bottle!"

  "Auntie, won't you have a glass of red wine?" said Li Yi, "I've heard that red wine is good for beauty."

  "Ah..." Zhang Guilan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Shanshan, "Mom, you should drink some! We haven't seen each other in years, and now that we've finally met, it's time for us to take care of you. I also have a boyfriend now." After saying this, she said to the waiter, "Bring two bottles of good wine..."

  Soon, the waiter brought over two bottles of wine, both red and white, with labels written entirely in English.

  Wang Dazhu didn't know him, he opened the wine and poured two cups, one of which was handed to his father, saying: "Dad, thanks for taking care of Shanshan all these years, I'll drink first, you can do as you please..."

  Zhang Guilian also poured a glass of red wine and took a light sip, saying: "Li Yi, Shanshan, you guys eat some too."

  Wang Shanshan started eating with a small mouth, occasionally serving Li Yi dishes, and the two of them looked happy like newlyweds.

  After eating for a while, Wang Shanshan made an excuse to go to the bathroom and gave Li Yi a look before leaving.

  Li Yi followed him out and came to the door of the bathroom in the private room, where he saw Wang Shanshan waiting for him, saying: "What's wrong?"

  The private rooms here are very large, and they are not much different from the presidential suites. The location of the bathroom is far away from the dining area.

  "I just did what you said, can you really afford it?" Wang Shanshan was still a bit worried, she couldn't understand why Li Yi had so much money.

  "After you finish eating, you will understand." Li Yi said with a smile.

  "Hmph! You're telling me now." Wang Shanshan said uncompromisingly.

  Li Yi shrugged and said, "I told you, but you wouldn't believe me."

  "You haven't said anything, how did you know I don't believe?" Wang Shanshan retorted.

  Li Yi knew he couldn't stay silent any longer and said, "Don't worry about the bill, I know the boss here."

  "Really?" Wang Shanshan asked disbelievingly.

  Li Yi smiled slightly and raised his hand to stroke her long hair, saying softly: "See? I told you so."

  "Alright! I believe you." Wang Shanshan smiled and turned around to walk into the bathroom.

  This meal was eaten in a very strange way. At the beginning, Zhang Guilian and Wang Dazhu were eating with a depressed mood. By the end, perhaps after drinking too much wine, the two of them also let go. Such good food would be wasted if they didn't finish it, so they started eating big mouthfuls. Old Wang was the same way, one person ate quite a bit. After Li Yi and Wang Shanshan were full, they walked over to the sofa and started whispering to each other.

  About an hour later, after everyone had finished eating, Zhang Guilian and Wang Dazhu found an excuse to leave.

  Outside the door stood two young and beautiful waitresses. When they saw the two of them coming out, one of them smiled sweetly and said, "Two, what can I do for you?"

  "How much is it? Let's settle the bill." Wang Dazhu said, taking out a card from his pocket.

  The waiter took out the bill and glanced at it briefly, saying: "Hello, a total of five million eight hundred sixty thousand..."

  "Take it and swipe." Mr. Wang didn't hear what the other person said at all, and casually handed the card to the other person's hand.

  Wang Dazhu didn't hear it, but that doesn't mean Zhang Guilian didn't hear clearly. She was stunned for a moment and said, "How much did you say?"

  "Hello, it's 580,600 in total."

  "What?" Wang Dazhu was already drunk, and after a brief surprise, he asked hurriedly, "Didn't you make a mistake? We only had over ten dishes, how can it cost so much?"

  "Sir, the dishes are 36,000, and the rest is for drinks." The waiter said.

  "What wine is so expensive?" Zhang Guilian opened her mouth wide, the wine tasted good just now, it doesn't seem to be worth that much money!

  The waiter glanced at the bill and said: "A bottle of Lafite '78, 3 million, another bottle of Mouton Rothschild '85, 2.5 million."

  "What, it's so expensive?" Wang Dazhu was stunned. If he could return the wine and water, he would definitely spit out all the wine he had drunk and give it back to the other party.

  Zhang Guilian's face turned quite ugly, she pulled her husband and said to the waiter: "That, we haven't finished eating yet, pay later." She then pulled her husband towards the private room.

  The waiter who had been silent all along snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "One look and you can tell they're poor devils. They actually dare to come here to eat, I'd like to see how they pay the bill later."

  Another waiter smiled slightly and said, "Little Li, you don't have to worry about them not being able to pay."

  "Look at what they're wearing, they don't seem like rich people." Little Li said in puzzlement, "Sister Sun, didn't you see their reaction when they heard the price of the meal?"

  "These don't matter, what's key is that someone will pay them," replied Sun Jie.

  Xiao Li was stunned and subconsciously asked: "Who would be so stupid as to pay them?"

  "You'll know soon enough." said Sun Jie.

  Inside the private room, the two people on the sofa also saw them leave. Wang Shanshan said: "Dad and mom must have gone to pay the bill, why didn't you stop them?"

  "No need to stop them, they will come back later." Li Yi replied.

  "Why?" Wang Shanshan asked in confusion. "If they paid money, with my mom's personality, she definitely wouldn't let us be together again."

  "Because they can't afford it." Li Yi said with narrowed eyes, "This meal costs over five million."

  "What, 500,000?" Wang's eyes widened in surprise, "We don't have much, why so much money?"

  Li Yi simply said that when he saw Zhang Guilian and Wang Dazhu being called over, he said: "Alright, your parents have arrived, the person who is going to pay has almost arrived."

  Zhang Guilian and Wang Dazhu hurriedly walked in, the former said: "Li Yi, do you know how much money?"

  "I know someone will pay me later." Li Yi said as he stood up.

  Zhang Guilian originally wanted to ask Li Yi if he could pay, but didn't expect the other party to say such a sentence, and laughed in extreme anger: "You're not joking with me, are you? Is this restaurant opened by your family?"

  "Not really, but someone did come to pay," Li Yi said with certainty.

  Seeing Li Yi didn't seem to be joking, Zhang Guilian's eyebrows moved, and she said: "Alright then, I'd like to see who will come to pay for you later."

  At this time, a knock at the door came from outside the room, and a woman's voice came in, "Everyone, have you finished eating?"

  "Let's eat." Li Yi said as he quickly walked towards the door.

  The door of the room opened and a young woman led in over ten waiters carrying trays of fruit, saying: "This is some refreshments for you..."

  "Bar sister, I thought you wouldn't come in person!" Li Yi smiled and walked over.

  The woman in the lead was Ba Yongjie. This restaurant was also where they had eaten last time. She smiled and said, "You're my lifesaver, how could I not come personally?"

  "This meal has cost you a lot, I'll definitely pay you back when I have money." Li Yi replied.

  "You saved my life, what's this money worth? Is my life not worth more than this?" Ba Yongjie waved her hand and said, "In the future, if you want to come eat, just tell me." She then turned to the waiter beside her and said, "You all listen up, from now on, when Mr. Li comes, treat him as if he were me."

  "Yes!" The waiters chorused, with Xiao Li's mouth wide open.

  This sudden scene stunned everyone present, even Old Wang didn't expect this outcome.

  Ba Yongjie was indeed a master of social manipulation. As everyone watched in surprise, she walked up to Wang Shanshan's parents and said: "You must be Shanshan's mother! I didn't expect you to be so young. Xiao Yi often mentions you to me, saying that you're a good person. If he marries my younger sibling in the future, I'll hand over the management of the hotel to him, so Uncle and Auntie don't have to worry about Xiao Yi's future..."

  Zhang Guilian was so praised that she was stunned at the time and didn't speak for a long time, finally saying: "Is what you said true?"
