"Ah, what a considerate person! Once you sign that agreement and have nothing left, you'll just turn around and throw yourself into someone else's arms!"
"You know best how you feel! Your father is the murderer of my dad; how could we possibly be together?"
"My dad is my dad, and I am me! Just because you say my dad is a murderer doesn't make him one!" Lin Jingzhu seemed quite aggrieved, tears streaming down her face.
"I can't go and date the daughter of the man who killed my father!" Jiang Chen said firmly, not wanting to argue any further.
Lin Jingzhu fell silent; she knew that saying more would be pointless. Neither of them had the heart to continue eating.
After a moment of silence, Lin Jingzhu wiped her tears, went to the restroom in the private room, and when she came out, she grabbed her bag and quietly opened the door to leave.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to follow her out of the room.
Lin Jingzhu walked straight out of the hotel without stopping at the front desk to settle the bill.
"Sir, you haven't paid yet?" Jiang Chen was stopped by the security guard as he tried to exit the hotel.
What? No payment? Lin Jingzhu was supposed to pay! She had invited him to dinner today!
Lin Jingzhu walked ahead, seemingly unaware of the security guard's words about Jiang Chen needing to pay. She didn't stop and got into her car alone.
Looks like I'll have to pay myself! Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckle bitterly; he hadn't brought much cash today, and he didn't have his card either.
Just then, a waiter came running over with a bill. "Sir, please come with me to the front desk to settle your bill! You can't leave without paying!"
The waiter spoke politely, but his gaze was filled with disdain.
How embarrassing! Clearly, they thought he was trying to eat for free.
He hadn't expected to pay today! What should he do? He might as well follow the waiter to the front desk.
Sure enough, he overheard some people discussing him.
"Look at that poor loser trying to leave without paying!"
"Can you believe this guy thinks he can eat for free at a fancy hotel?"
"That girl looked really unhappy coming out of that room; maybe this loser doesn't have enough money to satisfy her!"
"…"
The waiter handed the bill to the front desk. "Couple Room 8, settling the bill!"
"Sir, the bill is 18,888 yuan!" The receptionist said to Jiang Chen.
Damn, how could two people spend so much on a meal! They hadn't even finished eating yet; they were only halfway through!
"I'm sorry, I don't have that much cash on me..."
"Oh dear, sir, you’re not trying to dine and dash, are you?" Before Jiang Chen could finish his sentence, a voice interrupted from the side.
"Master Wan!" The receptionist and several other customers who had come to settle their bills greeted him.
Jiang Chen recognized him as the young man who had knocked on his private room door earlier. His mood soured instantly.
"Settle my bill first." Master Wan pulled out a platinum card and handed it to the receptionist.
"Sure!" The receptionist beamed with a smile.
"Sir, where's your girlfriend? Why don't you give me her contact information? I can cover your bill," Master Wan provocatively looked at Jiang Chen.
"I told you, go find your mother!"
The surroundings fell silent in an instant; the disdainful glances turned into astonishment!
Wow! This poor loser can't even afford his own meal and dares to talk back to Master Wan?
"You’re asking for trouble! I'll be waiting for you outside the hotel!" Master Wan pointed at Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with menace. He had already paid the bill, grabbed the receipt, shot Jiang Chen a glare, and left.
It seemed he didn’t dare to cause a scene in the hotel.
"Fine, I'll come out in a bit!" Jiang Chen remained unfazed.
"Someone might not be able to leave this hotel!" Someone nearby mocked him coldly.
Yes, with that shabby appearance, how could he afford to pay? If he couldn't settle the bill, he naturally wouldn't be able to leave!
"Sir, please settle your bill quickly!" The receptionist seemed worried too and urged Jiang Chen.
"Is your boss Old Qin?" Jiang Chen felt it was likely but wanted to confirm.
"Yes, do you know him?" The receptionist's gaze grew increasingly disdainful.
"Just a moment, let me give him a call!"
Ignoring the scornful looks from those around him, Jiang Chen took out his phone and dialed.
"Old Qin, I'm at your business hotel having dinner but forgot to bring enough cash. I'm at the front desk now!"
“Oh, Xiao Jiang, just wait there for a moment while I make a call to them. Also, here’s a top-tier VIP card for you. From now on, your meals at my hotel will be free.”
What a show! Who was he calling for help, asking someone to send money? And pretending to call Old Qin. The receptionist was secretly mocking Jiang Chen when the phone rang.
The receptionist answered the call, responding with a couple of “uh-huhs,” and her gaze towards Jiang Chen turned incredulous.
“Sir, your bill has been waived!” she said as she hung up the phone, immediately switching to a smiling demeanor towards Jiang Chen.
“What? Why was his bill waived?” A few onlookers who were ready to enjoy the spectacle were taken aback.
“It was Old Qin’s call just now; he authorized the waiver for this gentleman!”
“Old Qin’s call?” Everyone felt a bit incredulous. How did this broke loser know Old Qin? And why would Old Qin specifically call to waive his bill?
Moments later, a foreman-like figure rushed over.
“Which one of you is Mr. Jiang Chen?”
“That’s me!”
“You?” The foreman looked surprised upon seeing Jiang Chen. How could Old Qin’s VIP be just a high school student?
However, being an elite in service, the foreman quickly adjusted his demeanor, took out a card, and presented it to Jiang Chen with both hands, respectfully saying, “Sir, this is a top-tier VIP card from our hotel; please accept it!”
What? A top-tier VIP card? With this card, any expenses at the hotel would be waived! Thus, in the entire Southeast Province, very few people possessed such a card. How could this kid possibly qualify?
“Only Old Qin has the authority to issue top-tier VIP cards, right?” one customer remarked, unsure if he was reminding or confirming.
“Yes, it was indeed Old Qin who called just now to authorize it,” the foreman confirmed.
Jiang Chen took the card and casually stuffed it into his pocket. Before anyone could process what had happened, he had already walked out of the hotel.
My goodness, who is this guy? Those who witnessed the bill waiver and card issuance were all puzzled.
Once outside the hotel, Jiang Chen pondered how to get back. Lin Jingzhu had driven off herself, so he seemed left with no choice but to take a taxi.
People coming to this hotel either drove or took taxis; no one would come by bus or ride a bicycle! Walking seemed even less likely.
Yet Jiang Chen chose the least likely option—he walked.
After taking just a few steps, three individuals stepped out of a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked by the roadside and blocked Jiang Chen's path.
“Kid, you really came out? Aren’t you going to drive?” The one in the middle was Master Wan. The two burly figures beside him were presumably his bodyguards.
