The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 190: Chickened Out
Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Chickened Out
At the beginning, Ye Chenfeng drank glass after glass in one go, but towards the end, he simply took the bottle of Lafite to his mouth and blew into it, causing Jiang Shaoqi immense pain. The price of a bottle of ’82 Lafite could have allowed him to have fun with so many women in the club. He itched with fury internally, swearing that tonight he would definitely take down both Tang Xin and Han Chuxue. Otherwise, wouldn’t he suffer a huge loss?
"Ha," after downing two bottles of Lafite, Ye Chenfeng let out a sound of satisfaction from his throat, saying, "This ’82 Lafite is just so-so! But it’s quite thirst-quenching." Ye Chenfeng, disregarding his manners, wiped his mouth with his hand.
Ye Chenfeng’s vulgar actions made Jia Yuan and Xia Jing look down on him even more, and they both cursed in their hearts in unison: "Country bumpkin."
Neither of the two women came from wealthy families and didn’t know the price of ’82 Lafite, thinking Ye Chenfeng was just a yokel. Wasn’t it just two bottles of wine? What was there to fuss about?
However, just as Ye Chenfeng finished speaking, Jiang Shaoqi spat out a mouthful of wine. His heart was bleeding! What do you mean ’quite thirst-quenching’? If you wanted to quench your thirst, couldn’t you have just drunk some mineral water? Two bottles of ’82 Lafite were nearly eighty or ninety thousand! And just like that, this "poor guy" Ye Chenfeng finished them off? Jiang Shaoqi really felt an urge to vomit blood.
"Jiang Shao, are you okay?" Jia Yuan asked, seeing Jiang Shaoqi spray out his drink.
Jiang Shaoqi waved his hand hurriedly, saying, "I’m fine, I just accidentally choked." Saying that, Jiang Shaoqi poured another mouthful of Wuliangye into his mouth.
"Waitress, open a bottle of wine for me as well," Jia Yuan instructed the waitress standing by.
"I’ll have one too," Xia Jing immediately echoed.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft," the Wuliangye that was just about to slide down his throat was sprayed out once again, and this time, the liquor was mixed with traces of red liquid. Jiang Shaoqi was undoubtedly spitting blood out of sheer pain.
Shi Ye and Ding Wei also glared at their girlfriends, seeing them as merely satisfying their needs. As playboys like them, there was no telling how many girlfriends they’d switch out in a year!
"I’ll have a bottle of wine too," Han Chuxue said. Although she didn’t know the price of Lafite, seeing Jiang Shaoqi’s expression, she was sure it was expensive. She had long known that the "stinking rogue" Ye Chen wouldn’t be at a loss, the "stinking rogue" was acting like a pig to eat a tiger!
Tang Xin had already been dissatisfied with Jiang Shaoqi. She had heard of the ’82 Lafite, so she didn’t hold back either: "Waitress, open a bottle for me as well."
One bottle, two bottles, three bottles, four bottles, five bottles, six bottles.
Jiang Shaoqi silently counted the number of bottles being opened in his heart—six whole bottles of Lafite! Just like that, over two hundred thousand were gone, and it seemed he only had about a hundred thousand left on his bank card, not even enough to pay for this meal.
At this moment, Ye Chenfeng "kindly" stood up and said, "What are you guys doing? Do you think Lafite is plain water? One bottle here costs at least thirty or forty thousand! A single meal has costed Jiang Shao nearly two hundred thousand, I really feel bad about it. Why don’t you three also have a bottle of Lafite each? Might as well finish off a whole case of Lafite, since I remember Jiang Shao mentioned he wanted to show me the world, didn’t he? Today, I really did see the world."
Jia Yuan and Xia Jing’s hands involuntarily trembled, and a little bit of Lafite sloshed out of their glasses. This wine costs thirty or forty thousand a bottle? Their gazes couldn’t help but turn to Jiang Shaoqi.
Jiang Shaoqi’s face turned pale, but he still forced out a smile: "Don’t worry about it, drink up. I’ll take care of the bill today." frёewebηovel.cѳm
Jiang Shaoqi was bleeding internally while putting on a strong front. If his father found out he spent nearly two hundred thousand on one meal, he would be beaten to death.
"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom," Jiang Shaoqi stood up and headed outside the private room, now his only option was to have his mother transfer money to his bank account. Otherwise, he would certainly lose face later, and it would all be for nothing.
"We’ll go to the restroom as well," Shi Ye and Ding Wei followed Jiang Shaoqi out of the room.
After the three men left the room, only the chirping of Jia Yuan and Xia Jing remained inside.
"Jiang Shao really lives large! It’s my first time drinking a thirty or forty thousand bottle of wine!"
"Exactly! Not only is Jiang Shaoqi rich and handsome, he really is the ideal man in a woman’s heart!"
...
When Jia Yuan and Xia Jing were speaking, their glances kept drifting over to Tang Xin, as if to tell her, "See that? What kind of man is a real man?"
However, Tang Xin remained indifferent, even too lazy to listen to Jia Yuan and Xia Jing’s conversation. Facing her once good friend, she had become thoroughly disappointed.
Four or five minutes later, Jiang Shaoqi and the other two had not returned to the private room, but a rowdy argument could be heard from outside. Just as the female waitress was about to go out and check, with a "bang," the door of the private room was kicked open.
Jiang Shaoqi, Shi Ye, and Ding Wei were carried into the room by seven or eight burly men, who handled them as easily as if they were carrying little chicks!
"Quite a crowd in here! You four girls, come here, and don’t make me get rough." After the eight sturdy men entered the room, the bearded leader lit up upon seeing the four women, especially upon laying eyes on the fairy-like appearances of Han Chuxue and Tang Xin.
Tang Xin and Han Chuxue were unmoved; the former believed her brother Chenfeng could protect her, and the latter, who came from the Ancient Martial World, would never be scared by a shout. That was simply impossible.
On the other hand, Jia Yuan and Xia Jing, who had never seen such a scene before, were intimidated and shakily walked towards the bearded men. By the time they reached them, their complexions had turned pale, and their bodies were trembling even more.
The bearded man grabbed the arms of the two women with a very pleased smile on his face.
As everything unfolded so suddenly, how dare the two women resist? They could only look pitifully towards Jiang Shaoqi, Shi Ye, and Ding Wei.
Jiang Shaoqi had just left the private room not long before when he bumped into a man. With his heart already heated over the six bottles of Lafite, a quarrel ensued. Later, after that man made a phone call, seven men rushed out of a nearby private room, and without a word, they beat up Jiang Shaoqi, Shi Ye, and Ding Wei until they were submissive.
Seeing the pleading eyes of Jia Yuan and Xia Jing, Jiang Shaoqi, Shi Ye, and Ding Wei bowed their heads as if they had seen nothing. They definitely didn’t want to suffer more pain. It was clear that the eight men were from the underworld. Standing up trying to play the hero would undoubtedly result in them ending up like fools.
Jia Yuan and Xia Jing’s hearts sank completely when they saw Jiang Shaoqi and the others remain silent, and tears began to flow from their eyes. They could almost imagine what would happen next. Biting their lips, they couldn’t believe Jiang Shaoqi, Shi Ye, and Ding Wei could be so merciless and heartless.
All this time, these three men had not stopped boasting about themselves in front of the two women, claiming they were as tough as they come. But now, when a real situation had arisen, one by one, they all cowered.
What was even more laughable was that Jia Yuan and Xia Jing had once taken every word from Jiang Shaoqi and his friends as gospel, even praising Jiang Shaoqi just a while ago!
And the result?
Ideals are plump.
Reality is always cruel.
Jiang Shaoqi, Shi Ye, and Ding Wei were at best three fools attempting to disguise themselves with the façade of heroes; a fool is a fool, no matter how convincing the disguise, they are still fools in the end.
Faced with the current scene, the female waitress in the private room had already hidden in a corner, attempting to call security to come up and deal with the trouble.
Ye Chenfeng remained calm and unruffled, continuing to pick up food and stuff it in his mouth, even making comments on each dish as if nothing had happened in front of him.
Tang Xin and Han Chuxue, who had seen Ye Chenfeng’s skills, knew that these eight men were no match for him; so they too remained exceptionally calm and continued eating.
The private room suddenly quieted down...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation.)
