Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Do You Think I’m a Sucker?

"I’ve got something else to do, so let’s call it a day. We will gather some other time."

"I’ve got things to handle too, Dazhuang, I’m leaving as well."

The other people at the dining table all stood up, no one picked up Wan Dongcheng’s conversation, acting as if he didn’t exist.

"All right, take care on the way, I’ll treat you guys to a meal another day," Dazhuang said as he saw the others off, then turned back to sit down at the dining table.

By that time, the landlady had brought up the fish that was ready. Dazhuang looked at the fish, but his appetite was gone.

Wan Dongcheng’s face was extremely ugly. Now that it was just him and Dazhuang, with no outsiders around, he did not hide his emotions, saying with a sullen face, "These people, they all look down on others. They think I haven’t achieved much and look down on me. Just wait two years and see; I will make them all regret today’s actions."

Dazhuang looked at him, holding back for a while before asking, "Dongcheng, since there’s no one else here, tell me the truth, is what you said about the shares true or not?"

Wan Dongcheng, feeling a bit guilty when asked, snorted and said, "I haven’t really invested in Lanyue. I was afraid Lanyue wouldn’t develop well, that’s why I didn’t invest. If I wanted to invest, it would have been a simple matter."

Dazhuang: "..."

There, he finally understood; that young lady hadn’t said anything wrong at all - Wan Dongcheng had indeed lied.

What’s all this about investing after the company has developed? Once the company is successful, why would they let Wan Dongcheng invest? To share the profits?

Do they take everyone for fools?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He stood up and said, "It’s getting late, you settle the bill, let’s go back too! No one has even touched this fish, you take it home for your wife to eat!"

During his earlier boasting, Wan Dongcheng had gotten carried away because people were flattering him so he agreed to pick up the tab. Now that his boasting had backfired and he was made a fool of, having him settle the bill didn’t sit well with him.

"When I arrived, all of you had already eaten half of it, why should I pick up the tab? Do you think I’m a sucker?"

"Dongcheng, what do you mean by that?" Dazhuang’s face changed. "This meal was supposed to be on someone else, it was you who insisted on paying, acting richer than you are."

"It was my first time interacting with them, I didn’t know them, so I agreed. What’s our relationship, Dazhuang? Introducing me to such people, aren’t you setting me up?" Having completely lost face, Wan Dongcheng no longer wanted to associate with Dazhuang and naturally had no intention of settling the account.

Grasping his meaning, Dazhuang’s face turned a steely blue with anger, pointing at him and saying, "Wan Dongcheng, I never expected you to be like this."

Dazhuang was very angry, but he was powerless. Behind Wan Dongcheng was the Li Family.

He was always known to be tactful, but this time he had been fooled by Wan Dongcheng. Furious beyond words and no longer willing to deal with Wan Dongcheng, he paid for the meal, packed the fish, and left directly.

This dinner was nothing to a businessman, but it cost him two months’ wages.

If it were not for his pride in looking wealthy with cash in his pocket, he wouldn’t have had the money to pay this time.

A meal that cost him a friend and his self-respect, Wan Dongcheng too was seething with anger. When he got home, he took his anger out on Li Shiping for no reason, and finally lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Li Shiping, holding the child, sat on the edge of the bed, silently wiping away her tears. She had thought it was a good thing when her husband agreed to take the teacher certification, but his temper seemed to get worse lately.

And he had taken to drinking.

She felt lost, unsure about when such days would come to an end.
