Chapter 2016 — Someone's Treating?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But just as Bai Weituo was wondering what to do, a voice like music from heaven rang out beside him, moving him to tears of gratitude!
"Oh, so you're the sucker Sister Shihan was talking about. She told me we wouldn't have to spend any money today—some sucker was picking up the tab and treating us to dinner at the North Ice Ocean Seafood Restaurant, the finest hotel in Donghai City." The owner of that voice was, of course, Shen Yushu. Hearing it, Wei Zhao could not help a bitter smile. It seemed that to catch a villain, one needed a villain.
"Gah!" At Shen Yushu's words, Zhang Duopan's eyes bulged wide, and he was choked speechless. Was he not now caught in a spot where he could neither admit nor deny it? Admit it, and he was that sucker; deny it, and he obviously could not attend tonight's dinner!
After all, he had already said that he and Cheng Yiyi had arranged for him to treat everyone after the performance. Of course, he could put it off and say he would treat them tomorrow or the day after—but tonight there would be no place for him.
Weighing the pros and cons, he decided: sucker it was. Zhang Duopan laughed heartily. "Miss Xu certainly knows how to joke. Still, being able to treat two stars to dinner—even a sucker wouldn't be any ordinary sucker to manage that!"
"Indeed—it would have to be a really special, top-grade sucker, like classmate Zhang here!" Shen Yushu nodded. "I hear the North Ice Ocean Seafood Restaurant flies its seafood in from abroad. It's awfully expensive—a meal there must cost tens of thousands, at least. Add drinks on top, and no ordinary sucker could afford it!"
"That..." Hearing that a single meal would cost tens of thousands, drinks not included, Zhang Duopan was startled. How much had he spent, all told, to get Cheng Yiyi to appear? Tens of thousands for one dinner—his family was wealthy, but his own allowance was limited. Otherwise he would hardly be driving a Land Rover Evoque; he would surely have bought a sports car.
"Since classmate Zhang is the host Xu Shilan mentioned, then by all means—go ahead!" Bai Weituo had calmed down by now and grasped the crux of the matter. Since Zhang Duopan was shamelessly determined to tag along, they did not mind giving him a good ribbing!
"Ha, tens of thousands—nothing much!" By now, even if Zhang Duopan wanted to back out, he could not. He shot a resentful glance at the big-breasted loudmouth Shu, thinking to himself that this girl had a big chest but no shortage of brains—one sentence had made him play the sucker and lose several tens of thousands. She was truly wicked!
"Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, you're here!" Wei Zhao nodded to them. "Get in the car. I honestly have no idea where this North Ice Ocean Seafood Restaurant is—you two can give directions."
