Chapter Fifty-Seven: Food Expenses

  Wang Yu Yan's beautiful eyes turned around and looked at Lu Yang, softly saying: "Lu Gongzi, I think it's better to forget about it..."

  Wang Yuyan hadn't finished speaking when Lu Yang waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Never mind, never mind, Yuyan. Just tell me how much money you need. Hehe, if this young master comes to Jufulou again in the future and happens to run into me while I'm dining here, he can still come find me to borrow some money for his meal."

  As he spoke, Lu Yang shifted his gaze towards Xia Yan, a hint of satisfaction creeping onto the corners of his mouth.

  Xia Yan nodded and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Lu. However, I'm afraid it's not easy for me to come to Ju Fu Lou again. To be honest with you, Mr. Lu, today is my first time dining at Ju Fu Lou in my entire life, and I don't know if I'll have another chance in the future."

  Xia Yan said so, Lu Yang was even more determined in his heart, and he snorted disdainfully, thinking that Xia Yan was a small household, and normally didn't dare to come to Ju Fu Building to eat. Today, coming to Ju Fu Building must be because of the invitation from Wang Yu Xuan.

  If he knew that in fact it was not Xia Yan who invited Wang Yuyan, but Wang Yuyan who invited Xia Yan, I wonder what he would think.

  Wang Yuyan saw that both of them were smiling on the surface but not in their hearts, and naturally she valued Xia Yan more than Lu Yang. Since Xia Yan was acting like this, she would naturally cooperate. Moreover, just now she had deliberately not introduced Xia Yan to Lu Yang, also hoping that the two would fight each other.

  A woman's mind is the most complicated, the more indifferent Xia Yan is to her, the more uncomfortable she feels in her heart. Lu Yang's appearance happens to allow her to deepen her impression in front of Xia Yan once again.

  Wang Yu Yan invited Wang Fu and said: "Today, Mr. Lu invited us to dinner, Wang Fu, how much did we spend on this meal?"

  "Miss, the usage fee for the Tianzi suite is 10 gold coins. The dishes used by you and these two gentlemen amount to 167 gold coins. In total, it's 177 gold coins."

  Having a meal costs nearly two hundred gold coins.

  Two hundred gold coins in an ordinary three-mouth household, if living frugally, would be enough for ten years. Li Yuanchun heard that the meal he just ate cost more than 170 gold coins and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he didn't take money too seriously, he had never eaten such an expensive meal before.

  Xia Yan looked at Lu Yang with a faint smile on his face, without any other expression.

  Lu Yang heard Wang Fu's quoted price and his body swayed, almost losing his footing.

  He never thought that these two inconspicuous guys in front of him would eat more than 100 gold coins for a meal. He eats at Jifu Building, and each time he spends around 10 gold coins. Moreover, this Jifu Building is not a place he can come to every day. Coming here two or three times a month is already a rare occasion.

  "Thank you again for Mr. Lu's kindness, it's our first meeting and he has already spent a small amount on me, I'm really sorry about that!" Xia Yan said.

  Lu Yang heard Xia Yan say that Xiao Xiao had spent a little, and almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. What the heck, is this what you call a small expense? Over 100 gold coins for one meal, is this a small expense?

  Although Lu Yang was very depressed in his heart, the words had already been spoken and he couldn't take them back. Moreover, this was still in front of Wang Yu Yan. If he were to go back on his word, his face would have nowhere to hide.

  Forcing out a smile, he waved his hand and said: "No... need... to be polite!"

  Seeing Lu Yang's expression, Wang Yu Yan suppressed a burst of laughter. Today, Lu Yang had indeed hit the iron plate.

  "Who dares to compete with me?"

  At this time, another person came out of a box on the second floor. This person was Zhang Yun.

  Zhang Yun and Liu De were drinking when they heard a commotion outside, so they sent out a guard to see what was happening. The guard looked around and then went back to report to Zhang Yun. As soon as he heard that someone wanted to pay for Xia Yan's meal, he rushed out and shouted loudly!

  "Zhang Yun?" Lu Yang saw Zhang Yun and shouted out after being stunned for a moment.

  The money he had on him was not enough to pay for Xia Yan and Wang Yu's meal, and it wasn't until he saw Zhang Yun that Lu Yang felt relieved. If he couldn't come up with the cash when the bill came, he would lose face big time. Now that he'd run into Zhang Yun, he could borrow some gold coins from him first to pay for the meal. He and Zhang Yun had also drunk together before, so they were somewhat acquainted.

  "What? Is it you? Lu Yang?" Zhang Yun also saw Lu Yang.

  "Lu Yang, Mo Fei, are you going to pay the bill for Yan Ge? This won't do, Yan Ge's meal must be paid by me!" Zhang Yun said loudly with a stern expression. Liu De, who was in the private room, also rushed out and stood alongside Zhang Yun.

  "Bro... Brother?" Lu Yang's face was puzzled, and he stuttered.

  Zhang Yun is a man that Lu Yang knows inside and out. What kind of person can make him call "brother Yan"? And even rush to pay the bill? Looking at this situation, it's absolutely not fake.

  Xia Yan furrowed her brow and glanced at the two of them, this group of spoiled brats, really...

  "What? Lu Yang, don't tell me you don't even recognize Sheng Ge? Haha, you're a bold one, not recognizing Sheng Ge but still wanting to pay for him! Zhang Yun looked at Xia Yan and then at Wang Yu Xuan, suddenly realizing: "Oh... I get it! Haha, it's because of Miss Wang, right? Lu Yang, you're really something else! Let me tell you, this is Young Master Xia Yan from the Xia family, Sheng Ge!"

  Young Master Xia?

  What did you say?

  What's going on in Beihai Park?

  Lu Yang, I'm totally stunned!

  "Alright, today Miss Wang Yu Yan is treating me to dinner and discussing some business matters! I think, Miss Wang won't really let you guys pay the bill." Xia Yan's gaze turned towards Wang Yu Yan.

  Wang Yu smiled and said, "Hehe, just kidding earlier. I invited Xia Gongzi to dinner, of course, I won't let others pay the bill. Lu Gongzi, Zhang Gongzi, you don't have to fight over it."

  "I still have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!" Xia Yan said with a clasped fist.

  Before turning around, Xia Yan smiled at Lu Yang again, and when Lu Yang saw this smile, his whole body suddenly shook violently.

  He never thought that this unassuming guy would be a well-known figure in Jade Water City, Xia Yan of the Xia family! Damn it, not only did he fail to befriend him, but also...

  Lu Yang regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

  Zhang Yun saw the dark lines all over Lu Yang's iron-green face and couldn't help but secretly laugh, shaking his head: "Lu Yang, ah Lu Yang, you really are... Sigh, never mind, I'll go send word to Brother Xun!"

  As he spoke, Zhang Yun also followed Xia Yan and others down the stairs in a hurry. Liu De followed behind Zhang Yun, glanced at Lu Yang, and shook his head.

  "Haha, interesting, too interesting! Haha...” Among the few people, Li Yuanchun was the most excited. He had never seen anything like this before and thought it was very interesting, too interesting.

  "Summer words, I didn't expect you to be in Yushui City, with such a big reputation!" Li Yuanchun also didn't avoid Wang Yuyan, and directly smiled at Xia Yan.

  Xia Yan smiled wryly, in fact, he really didn't want such a big reputation.
