Chapter 1905: Chapter 1991: Showing Off
Actually, it’s all because of Su Xuan. They say one look at Su Xuan and you’re doomed for life; from then on, Zhao was just another passerby!
Zhou Sixue didn’t like Zhao Donglai. Back then, she liked Su Xuan. However, Su Xuan never pursued her. As a military beauty, she naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to pursue Su Xuan; she could only bury this love deep in her heart.
When Zhao Donglai chased her at the time, she initially refused. Later, he asked why, and under his persistent questioning, Zhou Sixue finally revealed the reason was because she already had someone she liked, and that person was Su Xuan!
Over the years, Zhao Donglai always felt this matter was a thorn in his side, something stuck in his throat. He thought he was so outstanding, so why would Su Xuan compete with him!
Then, by sheer coincidence, he ran into Deng Xiaolu at the hospital recently. His first thought was to show off; Zhao Donglai had always liked to show off, always believing he was so rich and incredibly handsome, so he couldn’t stand losing to Su Xuan!
And Deng Xiaolu was Su Xuan’s good friend, but upon seeing him so down and out, she felt an immense sense of achievement. This feeling was akin to gloating, deriving a sense of success at the expense of someone else’s misery. To be honest, such people have a psychological disorder, just plain jealousy; he should use other people’s misfortune to showcase his own good fortune!
It was only after asking that he realized Su Xuan was also in this big city, which made him quite excited. He had always thought about humiliating Su Xuan, and that’s why today’s dinner gathering happened. To be frank, this gathering was purely to deal with Su Xuan, just to demonstrate how much of a failure he was.
In fact, he felt today’s little drama was quite successful because when Su Xuan appeared, he was indeed very down and out, showing up in a van. Just one look at that van showed how many years it had been driven; it’s something that can be bought for a few thousand bucks.
But even more shocking was Su Xuan’s wife. Though Su Xuan was dressed decently, his wife was dressed shabbily and didn’t look good. So in Zhao Donglai’s eyes, Su Xuan was definitely trying to maintain appearances, pretending to be so successful!
When Dong Jianwen sat back down, he was feeling irritable, and Nie Bingxin gently said,
"Alright, don’t be angry, have some water!"
That was really tender. Nie Bingxin belonged to that very gentle type of woman. Although compared to Cheng Jiahui she wasn’t that pretty, she was indeed quite a beauty!
At this moment, the others felt unsatisfied because most of the people present were single. Nowadays, marrying someone feels like a difficult task with all those rigid conditions requiring layers of extravagance; many people, even if they find someone suitable, won’t make it in the end!
As a result, Dong Jianwen, who moves bricks—a rough person—found such a gentle wife, envying everyone around!
"Dong Jianwen, how did you meet your wife?"
Zhou Sixue asked curiously!
"Haha, met through a matchmaker, Su Xuan took me there!"
Dong Jianwen said this with gratitude towards Su Xuan. Regardless of how, finding his other half in life wasn’t easy, and he cherished Nie Bingxin dearly!
"You even acted as a matchmaker!"
Looking at Su Xuan, Zhou Sixue asked curiously.
"Cough, cough, I was just accompanying her!"
Su Xuan awkwardly scratched his head, while others remained speechless, thinking this guy helped Dong Jianwen find such a beautiful wife; his own wife seemed a tad too shabby.
After taking the menu, Dong Jianwen pouted and rolled his eyes, thinking what kind of menu is this, can’t recognize a word of it.
"Bingxin, what on earth is written here?"
"I... I don’t know either. I studied accounting, looks like it’s French!"
In this five-star high-end hotel, whether they were trying to appear high-class or something, the menu wasn’t in Chinese; it was all in foreign languages, probably just to create a high-class aura.
So some people come to such places to dine, and to save face, they randomly order, causing quite a few jokes!
Many present couldn’t understand it. Even if they spoke a bit of a foreign language, it was English they knew. Even if you knew English, menus are the hardest to understand, appearing like a heavenly script.
"Everyone, don’t hold back, order at will, it’s on me!"
Zhao Donglai said ostentatiously, thinking these bumpkins probably had never been here before!
"Waiter, bring me a French steak with Mexican mustard sauce, medium rare!"
Right then, Zhou Sixue said with a smile!
Zhou Sixue did understand foreign languages. After she spoke, the second woman thought for a moment and said,
"Same as hers!"
"Alright!" The waiter nodded, then looked at the third woman!
"I’ll... have the same as him!"
Actually, not many present understood this French. Su Xuan could actually understand it fully, sneering inside at this show-off; you might as well regret it, I’ll make you cry later.
"What about you?"
"Same as them!"
Eight women came today. In the end, all eight ordered the same; the embarrassment was indescribable, and Zhao Donglai smirked coldly, thinking these bumpkins really hadn’t seen the world!
"What about you guys, same as them?"
Zhao Donglai said smugly!
"What’s written here, can’t really understand it, I’ll have the same as them, but I want my steak fully cooked. How do you eat it medium rare, might get a stomach ache!"
Wu Gang said honestly; Su Xuan knew he was actually a straightforward guy, probably thinking it needs to be thoroughly cooked!
"Tsk..."
Zhao Donglai scoffed, while Xue Yong rolled his eyes, muttering that he’s a real country bumpkin!
Actually, Xue Yong wasn’t much better himself; this guy didn’t understand this either, never having been to a five-star hotel!
"Indeed, well, what about you guys, same too?"
Looking at Su Xuan, Zhao Donglai said smugly, ready with some French retort right after Su Xuan spoke to seem even more high-class!
"President Zhao, are you treating today?"
Su Xuan said with a mischievous smile!
"Of course, it’s been agreed, everyone don’t hesitate!"
This guy said proudly, thinking what else you could possibly order!
"Alright then, I’ll have a French-style baked snails, if possible, I’d like to see if the snails are alive; I’m quite picky about food."
