225 If We Can’t Finish, We Can Take Away (2/2)
”Wei Jie, I ordered a few more dishes. I think you wouldn't mind?”
”I don't... don't... mind!” Wei Jie clenched his teeth so hard, they were almost crushed!
The atmosphere suddenly turned silent. Wei Jie's face was extremely cold. He knew that Chen Fan had been sneaky, and yet he had to tolerate the loss temporarily.
”Is it too much?” Wu Ruoyu spoke to Chen Fan softly while turning around and pretending to look for something. Although she hated Wei Jie because he was a playboy, she did not feel that the two men needed to be so hostile towards each other over some small matters.
”I know what I am doing!” Chen Fan looked at Wei Jie, smiling. The fun part is still to come! he thought.
Very soon, the dishes that he ordered were served. They were so powerful that Wei Jie almost choked and Wu Ruoyu kept pinching his arms to signal that he was way too much.
Actually it was nothing much!
Two large plates of red-braised sea cucumbers...
The braise was something like red-braised eel. It was not like a bowl of soup made from a single sea cucumber, but rather dozens of sea cucumbers cut to pieces and braised without even having any other ingredients in it.
There were also three plates of abalones, each having a gross weight of a few kilograms, the type that could be used to make top grade dried abalone.
Next was a full plate of mixed shark fins and fish maw… and the plate was extremely full, just like a plate of beef with vermicelli during a banquet.
Wei Jie was vomiting blood in his heart. If it were not for his conscience telling him not to be impetuous, he would definitely pick up his chair and beat Chen Fan to death with it.
Who would eat shark's fin like that?
Shark's fin had to be dried and stewed in soup under a gentle fire for a long time. Otherwise, it would not even be as tasty as vermicelli...
Even though he was very rich, he could not afford so much expensive food. All these were real wild products, and even a small part of them could be served as a main highlight in a banquet consisting of many successful entrepreneurs.
But now?
It was all was piled up like pig food!
”Phhhhu...” How could Wei Jie care about his disposition now? His face was colder than the poker cards on Macao gambling tables, and he said in an emotionless tone, ”Mr. Chen, you have ordered so many things. Can you finish them?”
”If we can't finish, we can take away!” It was as if Chen Fan had become blind and could not see Wei Jie's murderous look.
”Mr. Chen, you think I am an idiot?”
That was when he stopped being hypocritical and showed his true self!
”Idiot?” Chen Fan pointed at Wei Jie with his index finger, looking surprised. ”You said that yourself. I never meant that!”
”Then I want to see if you have the guts to finish all the high-class food here!” Wei Jie was ready to call his people to come over.
”You can take away the rest later. Doesn't that solve the problem?” Chen Fan smiled leisurely. ”I thought you were a generous friend and worth knowing. However, I didn't expect you to be this stingy. It's so disappointing!”
”Don't... don't do this!” Wu Ruoyu's face turned pale as she could foresee an intense conflict approaching.
”Ha, I have no other ways. I am not like you, so rich and stylish, driving a BMW 740 outside and drinking red wine with Sprite!” Wei Jie was so angry that he started laughing. He could not even think when the last time was he got this furious. In any case, it must have been very long ago.
”Why are you being so modest? I am not even planning to borrow money from you.” Suddenly, Chen Fan signed and spoke in a disappointing tone, ”I originally treated you like a friend, and yet you behaved like this. In the first place, I did not even plan to let you treat me for the meal because I have a personal problem: unless you are a close friend of mine, I will not let you treat me. But you still kept asking me to come and eat. Actually, I wanted to pay the bill quietly when I went to the washroom later.
”This meal is really uninteresting!” Chen Fan shook his head and stood up in an elegant and stylish way. Taking out the black UBS card, which was embedded with beautiful cloud designs, he threw it on the table. ”Check please.”
”A membership card?” Wei Jie's eyes suddenly narrowed and his eyes were locked onto the exquisitely-made card.
”Wei Jie, we will leave first!” Chen Fan tapped on Wu Ruoyu who was still in a daze. When the two reached the door, he turned his head and lifted his eyebrows. ”The leftovers on the table. If you can't finish, just take away and bring them home!”
Of course, Wei Jie was not in a state to listen to his taunt.
It was as if someone inserted a concrete mixer into his brain, and an invisible hand was holding his soul and throwing it into the sky. His mouth was open so widely that all the food on the table could fit inside.
Why am I like a clown? he asked himself.
After a long while, the pretty waitress finally had to courage to go up and ask, ”Boss, do you need to take away?”
Speechless!
He was like a confused apostle walking between the boundary of the light and dark. He could have left the place elegantly, but there was a voice in his mind that shouted, Take away, take away. These are all precious. Just take away, no one will know!
