Chapter 214: Chapter 214 I’ll Pay the Bill
"Well done, Liu Zheng! You actually dare to screw up my good thing! I think you’re just asking for trouble!"
After saying that, he tried to throw another punch.
Unfortunately, the man was so wobbly on his feet that there was no way he could land a punch now.
He was even seeing double at this point.
Liu Zheng only had to dodge a little to easily avoid it.
Watching him in this state, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but laugh.
He was acting all tough just now, and look at him now.
It was just too ridiculous.
If you don’t have the skill, you’d best not take on work that requires it.
He clearly didn’t have the ability, yet there he was, trying to show off, which Liu Zheng found absolutely hilarious.
It took a while before the man in front of him finally seemed to calm down.
Perhaps because his head was spinning too much, he could no longer walk and just collapsed onto the sofa nearby.
And just then, the waiter came in.
"Hello, have you finished dining? Who will be paying the bill?"
Originally, Huang Haoxiang said he would treat everyone to the meal from the beginning.
After all, he organized this class reunion to achieve his own goals.
But after what had happened, it was impossible for him to easily foot the bill.
He quickly raised his hand and pointed at Liu Zheng.
"He drank the most, he’ll pay."
The others were too scared to breathe out loud.
Under these circumstances, they definitely wouldn’t stand up for Liu Zheng; after all, they didn’t have the means to do so. What if they ended up having to pay?
They didn’t have that kind of money.
Liu Zheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Mainly because he indeed didn’t have much money himself, he had drunk a lot, but he had no idea how much the bill was.
And he really didn’t bring much money with him today.
For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
Who would’ve thought, just when he was at a loss, a familiar woman appeared before them.
"Hey, you’re here too? What a coincidence."
The woman he had met twice before suddenly showed up.
Liu Zheng found it a bit too strange looking at her.
"Yeah, it’s quite a coincidence."
Before she could say anything, the waiter bowed respectfully to her.
"Boss, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, everyone including Liu Zheng was quite surprised.
Liu Zheng never imagined that this place was hers.
Soon, the woman asked the waiter.
"What are you doing here?"
The waiter immediately responded.
"It’s time to settle the bill."
The woman then waved her hand magnanimously.
"Alright, consider this meal on me for this gentleman; no need to pay, you can go now."
After hearing this, the waiter naturally wouldn’t stay any longer and left the place after nodding.
Liu Zheng was indeed very surprised; he never expected her to make such a gesture.
They had only met twice, after all.
Their acquaintance didn’t seem deep enough for such a favor.
Not only that.
The two times they met before, there had been some unpleasantness.
He never thought that this woman would just waive the bill.
This did make him feel a bit embarrassed.
"This is quite embarrassing."
But unexpectedly, the woman simply smiled slightly.
"What’s there to be embarrassed about?"
The people nearby, they too were genuinely surprised at this scene.
After all, this wasn’t just any ordinary restaurant.
It was considered a rather upscale place, with quite high prices.
Not only that, it was a nationwide chain.
Liu Zheng looked like an average Joe, how could he know such a person?
And it seemed like they had a pretty good relationship.
Huang Haoxiang had wanted to use this opportunity to mock him.
But now, this beauty’s sudden appearance had indeed surprised everyone.
Soon, the woman turned her gaze to the people beside her.
Then she asked.
"Are these all your friends?"
Liu Zheng didn’t put on any act whatsoever.
"No, they’re not friends. We were classmates before the meal, but now it seems like we’ve become enemies after eating."
When he said this, the woman also gave an awkward smile.
"Okay then, we’ll chat next time, I still have to go to a meeting."
After saying that, she left the place.
Liu Zheng hadn’t even had the chance to thank her when she walked away in her high heels, disappearing from his sight.
If that was the case, he would just have to wait for another opportunity to thank her.
Soon, everything finally came to an end.
Liu Zheng wasn’t going to stay here forever.
So he then turned to the woman beside him and said.
"Let’s go, you’ve had quite a bit to drink, I’ll take you home first. That way, if someone with intentions comes along later, they might think twice about doing anything to you."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately gave Huang Haoxiang’s group a meaningful look.
Clearly, he was referring to them.
And he did so without any pretense in front of everyone.
Chen Xiaoxiao’s heart was naturally very touched.
She had never thought that she hadn’t been in touch with Liu Zheng for so long and they hadn’t had much of a relationship during school.
Yet he would go to such lengths to help her.
This naturally made her very happy.
She nodded gently.
Then she left the place together with Liu Zheng.
Leaving the rest of the group looking at each other in dismay.
And those bystanders, now that the drama had concluded, weren’t going to stay there forever and quickly left as well.
At this moment, Huang Haoxiang was extremely angry.
He raised his hand and slammed the wine glass down hard.
"Damn it, I won’t let him get away with this no matter what!"
The very thought of what had just happened filled him with rage.
Those buddies of his were very uncomfortable.
But they still had to be patient and comfort him.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, there’s still a long way to go."
"Yes, although there were some complications this time, I believe there will be a chance for revenge if we really want it."
"Right, I’m really infuriated by him. I never thought he could go so far, it’s just too much!"
"Indeed, I also didn’t expect him to be so ruthless towards us."
"We thought that no matter what, he couldn’t possibly outdrink us, but I never expected it to end like this."
