I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 563: Overwhelming

Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Overwhelming

"These words spat out with no consideration for the other’s feelings, mercilessly crushing their self-esteem into the ground, surprised everyone. Who would have thought that these harsh words could come from such a wealthy young master? The boss couldn’t stand being there anymore."

"We’re already at the back here, so let’s not argue in private. I reject everything you’ve said. The principle I uphold is simple— whoever makes a mistake bears the responsibility. It’s not about who’s short on money and getting biased treatment; that’s simply not how it works. Furthermore, you’re the main manipulator here, the most guilty."

"The fact that I haven’t asked you to pay more is already generous enough. Yet, you still want a reduction? If I were to reduce your dues today, how would I face these brothers and sisters present? It’s out of the question. You need to reflect on yourself. Consider the money you pay as tuition fees for your lesson."

"I’m pointing this out now to prevent you from offending those who will never forgive you in the future. When that time comes, you’ll really be in a terrible situation. Honestly, you should be thanking me. After paying today, you’re purchasing a lesson, which will keep you from acting recklessly in the future. Wouldn’t you agree?"

"I am a good person, yet you can’t stand it and glare at me with such a vicious look. What can I say—no good deed goes unpunished, right? Look at the state you’re in; you’re clearly blaming me. Ah, it’s truly getting harder to be a good person."

"This is just how Shen Dong is; once he senses someone targeting him, he never shows any mercy. Like this man who thought they could settle things privately—it’s simply not happening. And to think he could get off lightly? That’s not how the world works, especially not at this stage."

"What they aim for now is to shift all the wealthy young master’s hatred toward the dance hall owner, making the owner realize just how difficult things are now."

"Having the group of wealthy young masters drinking together routinely was normal, and they were on good terms. Seeing that the dance hall owner hasn’t shown any remorse, they exchanged glances, understanding each other’s intentions— to make the owner pay more, ideally letting themselves off completely as they had felt wronged recently."

"They had been having such a good time, and then suddenly, someone ruins it; now that the perpetrator is caught, why should they have to pay? While formulating their argument, they thought about how shamelessly the other party suggests paying less—why shouldn’t they boldly propose not to pay at all?"

"If the owner dares to refuse, the entire blame would fall upon him. Besides, aren’t the police supposed to come? When they arrive, anyone unwilling to pay could be directly apprehended, and a few days behind bars would settle them down."

"After getting out, they would still have to pay up anyway. Thinking about this, it’s clear what needs to be said; they just need someone to voice it."

"’If you say it like that, boss, then also we shouldn’t need to pay. Think about it, we haven’t really done anything lately, just beat up the person who was bothering us. We can cover half of the medical bills, but the rest should be on the dance hall owner. He’s tough, right? Even daring to shove people around while blaming it on being drunk? We were drunk too, so by that logic, none of us should pay anything. If the whole world worked like that, then no one would need to pay for anything. So I think we should stick to the initial plan and let the dance hall owner cover the medical bills and half the alcohol."

"The rest of us will just cover the drinks. It’s not that we can’t afford it; we just can’t swallow our pride. You know how much we spend here, boss.

"Since your opening day, we’ve been investing here. Surely, we can afford a few bottles of alcohol. It’s really about not letting this go, boss; you should understand that."

"One considered their leader finally spoke these words. Indeed, it wasn’t that they couldn’t afford to pay; they just didn’t want the owner to make a mockery of them. With this statement, they intended to make the dance hall owner pay more, thereby easing their own frustration. Shen Dong, of course, understood this."

"So he held back, hoping the wealthy young masters would initiate the discussion themselves. If they brought it up, he could play the good guy, repaying their favor when they returned, not appearing incompetent. Thus, he kept setting traps, and thankfully, they finally fell for it."

"The dance hall owner was the only person who felt faint upon hearing that he would have to pay everything now. It dawned on him how serious his predicament was; he really didn’t want to lose so much money. His business hadn’t even fully started, and there hadn’t been much profit."

"’You guys must not be lacking money either. Could you not be like this, please? You should show some understanding. I don’t make much money here. If you’re really unwilling, I invite you to come enjoy and spend at my dance hall, and I’ll cover all your expenses. Please forgive me just this once; I am genuinely not good with alcohol. That time, I didn’t see clearly and accidentally pushed someone. I was so nervous, I just couldn’t admit it. You don’t have to be so nitpicky. You guys spend extravagantly, and spending this money wouldn’t matter to you. I genuinely can’t afford it—please don’t make me pay. Consider how expensive the drinks and snacks you had tonight were. If I have to cover that, I’d be ruined. I’m just a small business owner, not some big shot.

"So please, don’t make it harder for me.’" The dance hall owner pleaded humbly, deeply regretting why he had ever entertained the notion to act wrongly. If he hadn’t been so impulsive, he wouldn’t be in this tight spot now."
