Not long after, the three of them arrived at a high-end tea restaurant. Compared to the exquisite decorations in the restaurant, the outdoor seats outside were more stylish. However, ordinary customers didn't have the right to enjoy the private seats. They had to be a gold card member who topped up at least two hundred thousand in one go to have this privilege.
At this time, the restaurant was almost full, but there were some empty seats outside. Obviously, He Shunjiang was a regular here. As soon as the waiter saw him, he respectfully led the way. Under many envious and jealous gazes, they walked directly to the outdoor restaurant outside.
Although most of the people who came to drink tea were petty white-collar workers, they wouldn't spend two hundred thousand to top up their cards. That was purely because they had too much money to burn.
Lin Xiaoya couldn't hide the excitement on her face. She looked at the clear lake not far away. The scenery of birds and flowers was so beautiful that it made her feel refreshed. Sitting here, drinking tea, looking at handsome men, and admiring the beautiful scenery was the life she dreamed of. Just thinking about it made her depressed. Originally, she could live like this immediately after receiving the ten million reward. She didn't have to care about other people's opinions, but she failed miserably.
Soon, He Shunjiang ordered some of his signature desserts and drinks. Then, he invited Liu Jie to play a game. Originally, she was about to win the game, but the other side turned the tables. This made Liu Jie really depressed. Having a master like He Shunjiang to carry her was not bad.
Liu Jie chose Da Qiao, and He Shunjiang showed off his Li Bai, leaving Lin Xiaoya to the side. Just now, He Shunjiang ignored her, which proved that he didn't like her. A handsome, rich, second-generation rich man like him would be crazily pursued by many girls …
She took out her phone and used WeChat to send her location. After a few minutes, I also arrived at the restaurant. Just as I was about to go to the balcony, I was stopped by a waitress.
"Sir, I'm sorry. Only gold card members have the right to use the balcony seats outside. Please wait for a while. There should be a seat inside in about ten minutes. Or, you can eat at another restaurant. Our food here isn't cheap." The waitress's tone had a hint of disdain.
"Then, get me a gold card," I said lightly.
"Sir, the minimum charge for a gold card is two hundred thousand. Not everyone can apply for it."
The waiter didn't even look me in the eye. Compared to those well-dressed white-collar petty bourgeoisie, my outfit from head to toe only cost a few hundred kuai. I couldn't even compare to them.
"Two hundred thousand, right? I'll get one."
I took out my bank card, and the waitress had a strange expression on her face. She obviously didn't believe me, but she still brought me to the cashier and swiped the card. Seeing the notification that the transaction was successful, the waitress was overjoyed. Then, she had to fill in a form, basic information, opinions about the restaurant, and so on. Finally, there was a recommendation. This waitress kept yelling at me, asking me to fill in her code name. It should be a commission or something like that, but I didn't fill it in and directly passed it to the cashier.
The cashier girl looked a bit awkward. It looked like the waitress had offended me. She giggled and said, "Why don't you fill in her recommendation number?" I didn't have any objections. The waitress on the side rolled her eyes in anger. She watched as the reward in her hand disappeared without a trace.
While I was applying for the card, an argument came from the private room outside. It turned out that Lin Xiaoya had purposely downloaded King of Glory to play with the two of them. In the end, He Shunjiang didn't have a good start, and was targeted by the other side a few times. He couldn't get his rhythm up, and was at a huge disadvantage. He was also constantly mocked by his teammates. He was already very annoyed, and Lin Xiaoya's grumbling made him unhappy. He told Lin Xiaoya to shut up, and if she said one more word, he'd get the hell out and eat northwest wind.
Lin Xiaoya didn't say a word after being yelled at. It looked like her plan to curry favor with the pretty boy was shattered.
Just as she was panicking, I swaggered into the open-air private room. However, Liu Jie was too engrossed in the game, and didn't notice me. Instead, Lin Xiaoya winked at me, clearly wanting me to take a look. Liu Jie and Lin Xiaoya seemed to be having a lot of fun playing.
Seeing a gentle and refined young man sitting in front of Liu Jie, I couldn't help but get angry. This little girl, did she really find a new lover?
Or, was she purposely trying to anger me? If it was to anger me, she should at least put on an act for me to see. What did she mean by directly ignoring me?
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't angry. I didn't know to what extent Liu Jie and this man had progressed, but seeing her giggling made my heart hurt. That feeling was like a child losing their most beloved toy.
Originally, I had a strong male chauvinism. Even if Liu Jie was just playing a game, it made me very depressed. I wanted to go up and beat that man up, but now I had to calm down.
What's more, compared to my fickleness, what was Liu Jie?
At this moment, I realized that there were so many beauties around me. No matter what the reason was, it was true that I was a playboy. Everyone understood this, but how many could actually do it? Before, I felt that I would more or less feel guilty towards every woman who was willing to accompany me, but that was something that came from a moral level. Now that I saw with my own eyes, when Liu Jie was teased by a man of the opposite sex, I finally understood how painful it was.
Could it be that I didn't have the ability to be humorous?
Or maybe, my gaming skills weren't as good as others. But I felt that even if my gaming skills weren't as good as others, Liu Jie should be more biased towards me, right?
Of course, it could also be that I was being narcissistic.
Reality was like this. No matter who was missing, the Earth would continue to revolve. Seeing Liu Jie so happy, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. I also couldn't help but think of Liu Yuhan. I didn't know where she was now, and if she was doing well. If she had already forgotten about me, then I would completely cut off contact with her. That way, I wouldn't have to affect her life.
Of course, if she kept thinking about me, then I couldn't be indifferent. Sometimes, you have to fight for opportunities yourself. If you let nature take its course, you would miss out on many beautiful things.
It was because I poured a lot of feelings into Liu Jie that I felt this uncomfortable. Think about it, wasn't she the same? It could be said that Liu Jie's love for me was more than what I had given her.
