Chapter 157: The Payment Crises (1/2)

During the meal, Xu Xueyun said some words of gratitude, making me feel embarrassed. The truth is I only helped her with small matters, nothing major. Anyone else could have also done that.

The girls were all drinking. Xu Er and I started to drink red wine, replacing it with white wine later. Du Xiaowei could see that he wasn’t going to get anything to drink. As he had to drive a car later, I didn’t let him drink any wine. But looking at his pitiful eyes, I couldn’t bear it anymore and said to him, “You can drink. Later, Liu Yue can drive us back.”

Du Xiaowei immediately thanked Liu Yue, picked up a bottle of white wine, filled a big glass and downed it in one gulp. He could see the stunned Xu Er who was probably asking if someone could drink white wine like this?

Girls are girls; they soon found a lot of topics they could talk about. Though Xu Xueyun’s economic conditions are inferior to the other girls, apart from Zhao YanYan, Liu Yue, Yu Ting, and Xia Jing; Chen Wei’er, and Xu Ruoyun’s family circumstances were similar to Xu Xueyun’s. But the girls still loved each other, and so, they got along pretty well. Moreover, the beauty-seeking heart of the girl wasn’t just for the rich, every woman loved beauty. So, all the girls became mutually familiar soon.

After around three rounds of liquor, Xu Er was already lying on the table, dead drunk. Du Xiaowei also had a red face. The only person who was alright was me. Getting drunk is very difficult for me. Also, I have already learned my lesson before. Getting drunk was no small matter, there were a lot of troubles.

In the past life, drinking more got me on my deathbed. In this life, the only time after getting drunk, I ended up on Meng QingQing’s bed.

I saw that the time was right, and so, looked towards Liu Yue. Liu Yue nodded in an understanding manner, stood up, found an excuse that she needs to go to the toilet.

Liu Yue, this girl is very intelligent. She always understands what I want and does it. This is also one of the reasons that I love her very much. It was because I love her a lot that I was miserable when that matter happened.

After a while, Liu Yue returned and nodded towards me with a smile.

Everyone talked more for a while. Obviously, Xu Er could no longer drink anymore. He was speaking in a stuttering tone, giving his thanks and gratitude. How he will never forget my kindness and all that. Listening to his speech, Xu Xueyun blushed in embarrassment and rushed to step onto his foot. Xu Er wasn’t sober, and so, he yelled, “Younger sister, why do ya step on me? Did I say something wrong!”

“Brother, you didn’t say anything wrong. But you see, it is already very late and everyone needs to rest. Liu Lei and the others need to go back and rest.” Xu Xueyun had nothing else to reason.

“Oh!… That’s right. We will stop here then. Little Sister, ya go and pay the bill.”

“Brother…” Xu Xueyun looked towards Xu Er eagerly. She had estimated that the meal cost around 2000, and she had radically insufficient funds with her.

“What’s the matter…?” Xu Er was already staggering by now, and couldn’t use his brain anymore. If he was sober, he would certainly understand what Xu Xueyun’s predicament was. But now…

“I…” Xu Xueyun was getting short of breath. She didn’t know how to say she had no money in front of the guests that she herself had invited. It was very embarrassing.

“I, what…?” Xu Er still couldn’t understand, “Go and pay for it. What are ya waiting for? We still have to go back.”

Xu Xueyun was getting mad by now. What the heck do you mean by still have to go back? The main issue here is that we lack the money to pay for the meal.

I saw Xu Xueyun getting embarrassed like this, and so, I quickly said, “Didn’t I say before that you invite us, while I will be the one to pay the bill.”
