Actually, this was normal. Many people had the mentality of reaping without sowing. Just like me, when I heard that the Liu family had tens of millions in assets, I couldn't hold it in anymore. Under the coercion and temptation of my cousin, I almost became the Liu family's son-in-law.
Fortunately, I had my own standpoint. Otherwise, I would still be diligently going to school and making Liu Jie happy every day. It wasn't a big deal in the short term, but in the long term, I couldn't stand it. Moreover, Liu Jie would definitely think that I didn't have a backbone. It was still unknown whether I could succeed or not.
But now, the situation was different. Tens of millions was nothing in my eyes. As long as I wanted to, I could casually sell a part of the Black Mud Mask's shares. It wouldn't be a problem to earn several hundred million.
Thinking about it, I was very grateful to myself for my unremitting efforts. Although I had paid a lot of blood and sweat, I had stubbornly endured it.
Liu Yuhan didn't want Niu Dazhuang to become an idle person who only wanted to rely on others.
Originally, I wanted to go to a high-class restaurant to have a meet-and-greet dinner with her family. However, Liu Yuhan didn't agree. She said that Dazhuang still had to study at night. If he ran back and forth, he wouldn't have enough time.
Niu Dazhuang was a little depressed. "I don't need to hurry back to school. Anyway, I just need to read books at night. Actually, I could see that this fellow still looked down on me. Perhaps he wanted to go to a high-class restaurant and then order some random things. He would either make me look bad or rip me off."
But Liu Yuhan had her own concerns. She had seen my bank balance today. No matter how expensive the meal was, I wouldn't care. At that time, if I showed my wealth, I would just be showing off in front of my family. There was no need for that.
Moreover, she didn't want me to spend money. Even if I wanted to eat a big meal, I should wait until she earns money for me. At that time, the nature would be different. This was Liu Yuhan's principle.
In the end, we decided to go to the small restaurant opposite our school to eat. Niu Dazhuang didn't look happy. He mumbled, "This place is made of waste oil, and I'll get diarrhea if I eat it. Coincidentally, the owner of that restaurant recognized him and invited him in. At first glance, I knew he was a regular."
"Ah, okay, okay. Let's eat here. After this meal, we might not be able to see each other again. If you can't afford it, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush," Niu Dazhuang shook his head and said. He was obviously scolding the locust tree.
The two old men smiled apologetically and told him not to say too much. Actually, they didn't know much about my identity. They only knew that Chief Qu of Lianyun City respected me. Liu Yuhan wanted to stop them from revealing the truth, but they could only endure it. Fortunately, I didn't get angry out of humiliation.
After a while, Niu Dazhuang took the menu and ordered a few of the most expensive dishes. Since it was a small restaurant, the most expensive dishes were a hundred something. Niu Dazhuang ordered ten or so dishes, which were a bit over a thousand.
The two elders told him not to order that much. It would be a waste if he ate it all. Niu Dazhuang said that he could pack it and bring it to the dormitory. The dormitory auntie had a microwave. He didn't usually have the chance to eat meat. Now that he finally had a chance to eat meat, couldn't he fulfill his wish?
The two elders were speechless.
"Boss, bring the most expensive white wine here. Dad, let's drink and chat." Niu Dazhuang shouted.
Originally, the boss got a bottle of Wuliangye series wine. He said that it was more than five hundred outside and four hundred for acquaintances. He also gave us a twenty percent discount for the dishes on the table.
Niu Dazhuang waved his hand. "No need for a discount. My sis's boyfriend doesn't lack money. Oh right, add the few hundred kuai I spent on the bill. He'll pay the bill for you later!"
"Dazhuang, you're still on credit with him?"
When she first met Niu Dazhuang, Liu Yuhan tried her best to be tolerant and didn't argue with him. But after a short period of contact, she realized that this little brother of hers wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, the two elders intentionally or unintentionally accommodated him. It looked like they were caring and loving him, but it was actually a kind of foolish love.
Actually, when Liu Yuhan was a teenager, Teacher Liu was strict with her. At that time, she was a little annoyed with Teacher Liu. But when she was in her twenties and entered society, Liu Yuhan realized that Teacher Liu was a good teacher. On the contrary, this little brother of hers was the best negative example. "Sigh, sis, I don't want to either.
Last month, I lost my IC card, and a few hundred kuai was wiped clean. I don't even have money to eat instant noodles, and I don't want to tell my parents. I can't starve to death, so I can only get on credit with this restaurant and prepare to pay a little every month. If your boyfriend doesn't want to pay, then it's fine. I'll talk to the boss. After all, we're not related, so there's no need to pay for me, "Niu Dazhuang sighed and shook his head.
"It's fine. Don't mention a few hundred kuai, even if it's a few million, I'll pay it for you. You have to eat your fill, or else how would you have the energy to learn foreign things."
I didn't feel comfortable being looked down upon by Niu Dazhuang, so I said it like a rich person. Moreover, I quietly mocked the fact that he had watched countless movies.
The two elders naturally didn't understand, and thought it was English. The smart Liu Yuhan understood the hidden meaning. Thinking back to Niu Dazhuang's praise, she couldn't help but blush.
"Damn, that's what you want." Niu Dazhuang rolled his eyes. He didn't take it seriously.
Shortly after, the food was served. Niu Dazhuang was afraid that I couldn't pay, so he asked the boss to pay the bill first. I swiped my card, and everything was done. As the saying goes, the mouth is soft when you eat, but the hand is short when you eat. After paying the bill, Niu Dazhuang started to probe my family background.
After talking for a while, his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, Niu Dazhuang looked a little flustered. He hurried to the washroom. Since this restaurant wasn't big, we sat in a small room, and the washroom was diagonally across from us. I heard everything Niu Dazhuang said clearly.
"Brother Gou, give me a few more days. Tonight, I'll pay you two thousand kuai. Give me a little bit of that thing. Otherwise, I'll feel uncomfortable. I'll think of a way to pay the rest of the money, okay?" Niu Dazhuang's tone was very respectful.
"All right, I'll give you a little more time. However, you know that the cops are keeping a close eye on you. If the price of that thing increases, I'll pay you back later," Brother Gou reminded him.
"No problem. Just ask Laosan to bring it to me. If he hasn't eaten yet, he can come here. It's the Delicious Restaurant across from our school. I've ordered a lot of food." After some small talk, Niu Dazhuang hung up the phone.
I couldn't help but frown. From their conversation, if I wasn't wrong, this guy had given up on drugs. No wonder he looked so listless.
