Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 482 - 480: Wealth in the Remote Hills Brings Distant Relatives

Chapter 482: Chapter 480: Wealth in the Remote Hills Brings Distant Relatives

As the saying goes, "wealth in the deep mountains brings distant relatives." Everyone who could come to Lin Wanwan’s housewarming banquet today essentially showed up.

According to family tradition, each household sent one representative for the feast. Even those who didn’t live in the same neighborhood as Lin Wanwan promptly came after receiving the invitation.

As a somewhat famous internet celebrity, Lin Wanwan now purchased a villa from her uncle. Such precocious success couldn’t help but draw a crowd.

The banquet was held at a five-star hotel, with a standard of eight thousand per table. In a quasi-first-tier city, that standard is considered high.

It was precisely because the banquet was hosted at this hotel that everyone from the family came all at once.

Lin Wanwan was seated at the main table, which included her cousin’s family, and also Tan Qinghui, Jie Yuting, Lu Shouyue, and the couple Gu Jingyu, making it ten people in total including Lin Wanwan.

Chen Yan cleverly pulled Su Yanwei to sit right beside Lu Shouyue. No one seemed to notice her eating from the pot while still eyeing the bowl, showing her high level of flirting skills.

Of course, it was mainly because Lu Shouyue, though polite, was very aloof, making him hard to approach.

Lin Wanwan didn’t introduce Jie Yuting and Lu Shouyue extensively, the former due to his aloofness, and the latter because Lin Wanwan now knew of his identity as the sole heir of the richest man and his low-key demeanor, so naturally, she wouldn’t say much.

Thus, at the main table, the most sociable one was Tan Qinghui, who was most popular. After all, with lawyers, whether you need one or not, it’s good to know them and exchange contact details.

In social circles, doctors, teachers, police, and lawyers are always popular.

Lin Wanwan did not actually sit at the main table for long, as she was busy going around to toast everyone.

To show formality and also respect towards Lu Shouyue, Lin Wanwan wore a luxury brand cocktail dress today. She also wore the necklace Lu Shouyue had given her.

The enormous blue diamond necklace was very eye-catching, but few directly associated it with the Dream Chasing Star.

After all, someone wearing something worth three hundred million around their neck is on a completely different level than most people present, so they couldn’t have made the connection.

Everyone knew Lin Wanwan had become rich, and being a famous influencer was naturally lucrative, but they merely considered her to be a multimillionaire, not realizing she was a billionaire, as that was too far removed from their reality.

But Chen Yan, half out of curiosity, half in praise, asked, and Lin Wanwan ambiguously brushed it off without going into details.

After the banquet, everyone gradually left. As the sole representative of Lin Wanwan’s family, Su Yanwei and his family naturally stayed till the end.

Han Qingxue, lively, cheerful, and warm, drank too much and also stayed till the end. Lin Wanwan planned to personally send her home.

After settling the bill, Su Yanwei and his family left, the couple Gu Jingyu also bid farewell, leaving only Lu Shouyue, who hadn’t drunk, and Han Qingxue, who had drunk too much.

Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue had already agreed that he would drive her, so she conveniently took Han Qingxue along as well.

As the three left the banquet hall and reached the hotel lobby, they unexpectedly witnessed a scene.

Lu Shouyue, naturally uninterested in other people’s business, stayed since Lin Wanwan and Han Qingxue stood by to watch.

The situation was exceptionally bizarre: an internet dating couple, after a meal, tried to ditch each other; one slipped away to the restroom, while the other refused to foot the bill for a meal.

Their total bill was nearly three thousand, and the hotel staff couldn’t just watch them leave.

If they both left, wouldn’t the waitstaff at the western restaurant have to pay for it themselves?

The girl, left to pay, couldn’t stand it and called the police, and thus the one who slipped away was brought back.

In this era of real-name registration for mobile phones, escaping is not easy!

To reduce the impact, the hotel moved them to the staff lounge. Most onlookers dispersed, but Han Qingxue was stuck and couldn’t move her feet.

"Boss, I saw that scumbag," an emotionally complex, drunken Han Qingxue said to Lin Wanwan, explaining why she stayed to watch.

Lin Wanwan was extremely surprised: "Are you sure you didn’t mistake him?"

Han Qingxue vehemently replied, "Wu Feiyue, that scumbag, I’d recognize him even if he turned to ashes!"

After speaking, she turned to the staff lounge on the side of the hotel lobby and pointed there, saying, "Boss, I want to stay here to see the outcome, you guys go ahead."

How could Lin Wanwan leave a seven-tenths drunk Han Qingxue and go? Of course, she stayed with her.

Seeing this, Lu Shouyue called over the hotel lobby manager. A few words later, the manager brought the three into the mediation scene.

When they entered, the people inside were still at odds, the man accusing the woman of being a catfish and a meal-mooch, while the woman vehemently denied being a moocher and accused the man of being stingy.

The hotel manager handling the situation, of course, couldn’t let the hotel assume the blame for colluding with meal moochers!

What a joke, they’re a grand five-star hotel, no need for meal/shady drink moochers in business!

Lin Wanwan looked at the scene and whispered to Han Qingxue, "Xiao Han, do you want to vent your anger?"

Han Qingxue looked at Lin Wanwan and asked, "How do you plan to do it?"

Lin Wanwan leaned closer to her ear and whispered a few words, which made Han Qingxue nod repeatedly.

Standing nearby with sharp ears, Lu Shouyue overheard what Lin Wanwan said and couldn’t help but chuckle.

As smart as he was, he had already deduced that the bizarre man dining and dashing involved some history with Lin Wanwan’s employee Han Qingxue, likely an ex-boyfriend.

Lin Wanwan’s idea was simple. She pulled out another phone and alerted a few media contacts who often pestered her with interview requests, letting them know there was a bizarre news story unfolding.

Weird stories about men and women attract lots of attention and traffic, and sure enough, the media raced over upon hearing the news.

After notifying the media, Lin Wanwan took out three masks from her bag and handed them to her group to wear, making sure to enjoy the spectacle while protecting their own privacy.

The first media outlet arrived just as the police had wrapped up the mediation and left.

Under the threat of being taken to the station if they failed to pay, both parties reluctantly split the bill.

Paying over fifteen hundred each for a meal was painful for both of these bizarre individuals.

The woman, upon encountering the press, indignantly accused Wu Feiyue, "This man, I had an online romance with him for half a month, and traveled thousands of miles from Hui’an to see him, with all my luggage. He had a meal with me and then excused himself to the restroom to flee without paying! I’ve never seen such a shameless, stinky man!"

Wu Feiyue, inherently petty and calculative, was outwardly furious at being conned into buying such an expensive meal by an ugly girl who catfished him. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Especially since she was now ranting to the media, he cried out, "The pictures she sent were so heavily edited even her mother wouldn’t recognize her, completely different from reality! I thought I’d treat her to a meal so we could part on good terms, and then she orders three thousand worth, treating me like a fool to exploit. Am I supposed to tolerate that? Really, ugly people often make more trouble!"
