BXBX NOVEL Chapter 152 - 152: Two Bastards
Fang Yuan could discern that Tang Nan had indeed displayed mercy. In the past, she would have ruthlessly dealt with him, perhaps even causing serious harm or worse. However, with the might of the Tang Corporation behind her, there was no need for fear.
Today marked the club’s opening, and Tang Nan had no desire to mar the occasion with bloodshed, especially not the blood of this group of individuals she considered beneath her.
“Calmly, let’s depart,” Fang Yuan stated serenely, and the three of them left together.
“Jiayi, Brother Lu Chen, are you both alright?” Li Shan and the other students, now with trembling hands, approached to offer their support.
“I apologize, the Tang Corporation is too formidable. We dare not provoke them…” Li Shan directed her frustration at a nearby waiter. “Why didn’t you intervene when the altercation broke out in your club?”
“Miss, I’m just an employee. It’s not easy…” the waiter responded plaintively, “That’s the Tang family’s daughter…” Who would dare to cross her? Moreover, she was a friend of the club’s owner.
Fang Jiayi, of course, understood the Tang family’s influence. Even the wealthiest individuals in Fengcheng City and Haicheng City wouldn’t dare to offend them. In a fight to the death, they would ultimately emerge as the losers! Additionally, she’d heard that the Tang family was renowned for doting on their daughter…
She gritted her teeth and stood up. “I’m alright…”
“I can see that your sister doesn’t value herself. Both you and Brother Lu Chen acted in her best interests, trying to keep her on the right path,” Li Shan attempted to defuse the situation.
“Let’s conclude today’s gathering here.” Fang Jiayi’s swollen face made her eager to escort Lu Chen to the front desk.
Lu Chen, likewise embarrassed, sought to exit the establishment as swiftly as possible.
“Room 8801, the bill, please.”
“Of course, sir.” The cashier settled the bill and respectfully stated, “Your total expenditure tonight is 7.2 million. You still have five million in credit on your membership card, so you’ll need to pay an additional 2.2 million.”
“What did you say?” Fang Jiayi snatched the bill with her disgruntled expression. She had consumed over 70 bottles of expensive foreign wine!
“That Xu Hao and his companions used the wine as fireworks…” Li Shan whispered to Fang Jiayi.
“When did this happen?” Fang Jiayi furrowed her brow.
“Just a while ago when you and Brother Lu Chen weren’t around…”
They had no other option; the group had been intent on using the wine for their antics, and their efforts to dissuade them had been futile.
At that moment, a staff member whispered something to the cashier. The cashier then punched the calculator a few more times.
“I apologize, sir. Your friends have soiled the private room’s couch and walls. Additionally, you accidentally shattered a few bottles of our wine in the hallway earlier. In addition to the previous 2.2 million, you now owe an extra 2 million, bringing the total to 4.2 million.”
“What?” This time, it wasn’t just Fang Jiayi who was taken aback. Even Lu Chen’s expression darkened. Not only had he exhausted his entire 5 million yuan credit, but he now owed an additional 4.2 million? This gathering had turned into a complete swindle!
“Where’s Xu Hao?” Fang Jiayi inquired, clearly furious with her classmates.
“He’s already left…”
Unfortunately, Xu Hao had departed before witnessing the dramatic moment when Fang Jiayi and Lu Chen were assaulted.
Fang Jiayi clenched her teeth with disdain and instinctively reached for Lu Chen’s arm. “Brother Lu Chen…”
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen withdrew his arm. He retrieved his wallet to settle the bill and left in frustration.
“Brother Lu Chen, please wait for me. Brother Lu Chen…”
It was apparent to the students that this wealthy scion was genuinely irate, indicating that he didn’t regard money lightly.
When Lu Chen went to retrieve his car, he discovered that his Porsche had been scratched multiple times. It was quite evident that this had been the handiwork of Tang Nan.
Fang Jiayi spotted the marks and vented her frustration, exclaiming, “Tang Nan has gone too far! How could she target such an expensive car?” She not only damaged the vehicle but also called two ruffians!
For the first time, Lu Chen refrained from opening the car door for Fang Jiayi, opting to enter the vehicle himself. Fang Jiayi was left to open her door and climb in.
“Brother Lu Chen, I’m truly sorry. 1 had no idea Xu Hao would go to such lengths…”
“What’s your connection with him?” Lu Chen inquired abruptly.
Fang Jiayi was momentarily taken aback before hastily explaining, “We’re just classmates. We don’t interact much, so I don’t really know what kind of person he is… If I had known he was like this, I would have certainly dissuaded Li Shan from inviting him today…”
Lu Chen couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. If they weren’t close, why would Xu Hao specifically target him? And why order so much wine to make him spend money?
“Brother Lu Chen, please believe me. 1 truly had no knowledge of Xu Hao’s intentions…” Fang Jiayi, unaware that Lu Chen had overheard something in the restroom, feigned a pitiable tone.. “1 only discovered today from my classmates that Xu Hao runs with a small gang and idles around all day…”
