Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Want to Buy on Credit, No Way_1

Shen Dong returned to the car.

The call on his mobile phone had been disconnected.

"Yuting was crying, wasn’t she?" Chen Yuyan’s face showed some complexity.

"Yes, she cried." Shen Dong nodded, his thoughts also complex.

After all, Chen Yuting was his first love.

"My sister wants to get back together with you, which means she really regrets leaving you. I thought I would be very happy when this day came, but now I am not happy at all," Chen Yuyan remarked sentimentally.

"Okay, let’s not think too much about it. Let’s head back," Shen Dong said as he started the Bentley King.

When it was time to get off work, Shen Dong received a message from Tao Guohao, the manager of Century Garden, asking if Shen Dong would be able to attend.

The last time he was asked, Shen Dong had replied that he would attend if he had the time, without confirming his participation.

Shen Dong had nothing planned for tomorrow, so he replied that he would attend.

...

Feng Lijuan, along with a few friends, went to a high-end restaurant for dinner.

These friends, like Feng Lijuan, were all middle-aged divorcees.

Upon entering the restaurant, Feng Lijuan flamboyantly ordered a table full of dishes.

The reason for this was that Chen Yuting had personally gone to look for Shen Dong today. Believing that Chen Yuting’s reunion with Shen Dong was a sure thing, she had to show off in front of her friends to satisfy her psychological needs.

"Lijuan, your daughter getting back together with Shen Dong means you’re going to be the mother-in-law of a billionaire. Your life as part of the elite starts now," they said eagerly.

"Yeah, of all of us sisters, you’re the luckiest one," agreed another.

"Feng Lijuan, we have always been sisters. Don’t forget about us," yet another chimed in.

Their faces were full of envy as they showered Feng Lijuan with compliments.

Nowadays, the clothes Feng Lijuan wore, the bags she used, and the watch on her wrist already set her apart from the others.

All of those were luxury items, with an outfit totaling in the seven figures.

Naturally, her friends were envious of this lifestyle.

They hoped Feng Lijuan wouldn’t forget them and would share any gourmet food and drinks, potentially allowing them to enter the circle of the wealthy through Feng Lijuan’s connections, and achieve a leap in societal status for their own daughters or sons.

"Ha, my daughter just went to seek a reunion with Shen Dong; whether it will be successful is still uncertain. This is their own business, and I don’t interfere. It has nothing to do with me," said Feng Lijuan. Yet, she couldn’t hide the smugness on her face.

Hearing this, and seeing Feng Lijuan’s irritating smirk, the women all scoffed internally.

Would you buy a million-dollar-plus watch if it weren’t successful?

Would you treat us to a feast if it weren’t successful?

Though slightly annoyed with Feng Lijuan’s attitude, they could only offer pleasant words.

"Lijuan, stop joking. Your younger daughter dated Shen Dong for four years; their relationship is profound. Shen Dong rushed into being with your elder daughter; he must have seen her as a substitute. If your younger daughter wants to get back with Shen Dong, she only needs to say it, and it could happen within minutes," they reassured her.

"Absolutely, this kind of thing is certain," confirmed another.

"These young people like things this way. If you ask me, your younger daughter should have done this a long time ago," someone else advised.

"Doing it now isn’t too late either. Good things come to those who wait," they encouraged.

Their words were nothing but praise.

What they said aligned with what Feng Lijuan thought.

There would be absolutely no problem for Chen Yuting to reunite with Shen Dong.

"True, there shouldn’t be a problem," she conceded.

This time, Feng Lijuan didn’t put on airs anymore. Continuing to do so wouldn’t be much fun.

Amidst laughter, the dishes were served, and the group happily enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

After leaving the private room, Feng Lijuan went to pay the bill.

"Check, please," Feng Lijuan approached the cashier counter and said with a grand air.

A few sisters followed to see how much this meal had cost.

The food tonight was very delicious, and there were many dishes they had only heard of but never tasted before.

"Hello, madam, the total is 36,876 yuan, but we’ll round it down for you, so it will be 36,800. Here’s the bill," the cashier said with a smile on her face.

Although their restaurant was a high-end establishment, it wasn’t common for a single meal to exceed thirty thousand yuan.

When the amount reached a certain figure, it was possible to round down the total.

This was the restaurant owner’s instruction for the cashiers, a business tactic designed to make customers feel the restaurant was well-managed.

When Feng Lijuan heard the price, her eyelids twitched.

She hadn’t expected the meal to cost so much.

Of course, she knew it was a high-end restaurant and that the price would not be cheap.

But, in her opinion, it should have been settled for no more than ten thousand yuan.

She had only ten thousand yuan with her.

After all, Chen Yuting had just gotten back together with Shen Dong today, so at most by tomorrow, Chen Yuting could ask Shen Dong for the money.

But now, with the bill so high, she couldn’t pay it.

This was a bit embarrassing.

Feng Lijuan took out her wallet and suddenly said, "Oh no, I forgot to bring the card with the money on it, I only brought one with only ten thousand yuan on it."

She looked towards her sisters, "Ladies, can you pay for it first, and I’ll pay you back as soon as possible?"

There was no choice but to find such an excuse.

"Lijuan, you know me, my pockets are even cleaner than my face," one sister said.

"Lijuan, you know my situation, I didn’t even have the money to buy a lipstick the other day," said another.

"Lijuan, you know how it is with me, I live paycheck to paycheck," another chimed in.

All the sisters claimed they didn’t have money.

They were telling the truth, they really were broke.

And even if they did have money, they wouldn’t have offered it up.

This was Feng Lijuan’s treat – whoever paid would be the fool.

Feng Lijuan’s daughter had just gotten back together with Shen Dong, so she could just ask her daughter for the money.

It was just a phone call away.

Feeling helpless, Feng Lijuan said to the cashier, "I didn’t bring enough money today, just put it on my tab, and I’ll come and pay it tomorrow."

The cashier’s smile didn’t fade, "Madam, I’m sorry, but we don’t offer credit services here."

Feng Lijuan immediately became angry, "It’s just a few tens of thousands, do you really think I’d stiff you on the bill?"

She raised her hand, showing off her wristwatch, "See this? This is a Patek Philippe worth one million and five hundred thousand. If I can wear a watch worth one million and five hundred thousand, would I lack your few tens of thousands for dinner money?"

The cashier continued with a smile, "Madam, I know you’re not short of money, but our restaurant truly does not have a policy for credit. Please, could you find a way to settle the bill?"

Feng Lijuan grew angrier, "What’s wrong with you, young lady? Don’t you know how to handle situations? Call your manager out here!"

The cashier hesitated for a moment but then went to fetch the manager.

This incident had escalated beyond what she could handle.

As a mere cashier, she did not dare to offer credit.

Soon, she returned with a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and tie.

This was the restaurant manager.

Having already learned about the situation from the cashier, the manager approached Feng Lijuan and said with a smile, "Hello madam, I’m fully aware of the situation now. As it’s true that our establishment doesn’t offer credit, I know you’re not lacking money. We can wait a bit; you can make a phone call to have your family transfer the money to you. It’s very convenient nowadays, and a transfer of tens of thousands can be done very quickly."

His attitude was polite, but the message was clear.

If you’re thinking of getting credit, think again!
