719: Chapter 719: There’s No Tax on Bragging!

Speak not unless your words are as shocking as thunder!

Tang Xin’s boldness directly led to the tragedy that unfolded.

With a “pfft!”

Wu Jie completely lost control and burst into laughter.

The water he had just drunk sprinkled out like watering flowers, drenching Tang Xin’s face.

Taken by surprise, Tang Xin had been mid-sentence.

In that moment.

Her dark hair, her delicate features…

Even the collar of her blouse was dotted with water droplets.

“Hey, come on…

Jie, how could you do that?

Spraying someone’s face while drinking water!”

Tang Xin pursed her red lips, pretending to be angry as she grabbed a tissue.

Just as she was about to wipe off the water, she cast a sly glance at Wu Jie, who wore an apologetic expression.

“Ah~ What was it I said just now that made you burst into laughter?”

Wu Jie hesitated, “You said going to the primeval forest…”

“And that made you unable to hold back your laughter?”

Tang Xin’s face bore a wicked grin, causing Wu Jie to feel somewhat uneasy.

“You better wipe it off quickly.

It won’t look good if others see it!”

“What’s there to be afraid of?

Doesn’t it just prove that my beauty is natural, so captivating that I don’t even need makeup?”

Saying so, Tang Xin slightly lifted her head, looking quite proud of herself.

Wu Jie really felt a chill!

“I’m totally convinced!

Aren’t you grossed out?

Still so proud of yourself, are you out of your mind?”

Tang Xin snorted emphatically.

“In this scorching summer, the air is so dry.

This is just the hydration my skin needs!”

“I…”

Wu Jie massaged his forehead and sighed inwardly, admitting defeat.

The title of the King of Tricksters, in front of Tang Xin, was completely ruined.

Fortunately.

At that moment, the waiter came with the meal.

Tang Xin picked up her knife and fork, humming a cold laugh: “You must eat your fill, or else where would you get the energy?”

Wu Jie smiled without a word.

He thought, there’s an old saying in the countryside, ‘A barking dog seldom bites.’

Actually, it’s quite fitting to describe people as well.

Those who boast loudly often don’t have much skill or courage.

Blustering non-stop is really just a cover for their inadequacies.

Take fighting, for example.

The loudest and most arrogant are typically the ones who get knocked down the moment they rush in.

On the other hand, those who keep quiet and remain low-key are often the most ferocious in a fight.

So…

As wild as Tang Xin seems, she might actually be quite terrible.

After all, bragging isn’t taxed!

…

The two buried their heads in their meal, eating as if it was a competition.

Other descendants of noble families have manners, grace, and etiquette.

They eat slowly and elegantly.

But the Tang Family is an exception, perhaps because the old master spent his life in the military.

Eating is like going to war.

What matters are momentum and speed, who has time for elegance?

So, dining with the descendants of the Tang Family, you really can’t afford to be polite.

If you are, you might end up with no food at all.

Just like now.

Although they ordered the signature and special dishes to be served, it still wasn’t enough.

There was no helping it, high-end restaurants serve exquisite dishes, but in small portions.

A pricey piece of Kobe beef, hardly larger than a child’s fist, is there for the taste, not the quantity.

With Wu Jie and Tang Xin devouring their food like beasts, a few more pieces of beef would still not suffice.

After consuming everything like a whirlwind, Tang Xin laughed awkwardly:

“I don’t think I’m full yet, should we order more dishes?”

Wu Jie broke out in a cold sweat.

He tossed the menu to Tang Xin, feigningly angry, he said, “Do you think this is a street food stall?

Haven’t you calculated how much we’ve already spent?”

Tang Xin let out a sound and quickly bowed her head to calculate.

Gradually, the smile disappeared.

“Uh…

it seems like a lot!

Tens of thousands of yuan gone!”

“It’s alright!

If you’re not full, just order more, what’s there to be afraid of?

I can still afford a meal!”

Wu Jie said generously.

“Haha!

Jie, you’re so nice, love you!”

Tang Xin said, then got up to ask the owner to add more dishes.

Having moonlighted as a waitress at a rural eatery for two days, Tang Xin had learned some tricks.

To rush the dishes, you need to find the owner, speaking to a waiter is useless.

The waiter will only say, “Very soon, immediately, please wait a moment.”

But it’s different when you find the owner, big spenders get special attention from them.

As Tang Xin left, Wu Jie looked at the empty plates on the table with a forced smile.

“Damn it!

Other people go on a date and eat a six-yuan bowl of spicy hot pot, but me?

Damn, I’ve spent over sixty thousand, and I’m still not full!”

As Wu Jie was muttering to himself, Tang Xin’s cell phone rang.

It was a call from someone named Duo’er.

Wu Jie did not answer, after all, he didn’t know her.

But soon after it stopped ringing, it rang again.

Could it be something urgent?

Tang Xin was still at the counter, placing her order with the owner.

Looking at her actions, she seemed set on bankrupting Wu Jie!

This girl, could she be a disguised trickster pretending to be a foodie?

But the real reason, Wu Jie had guessed long ago.

It was all because of betting on football!

Tang Xin, Tang Kun, and the others had been punished by the old man to kneel, and their parents must have certainly taken control of their finances.

Tang Xin not wearing makeup, is it really because of her natural beauty?

It’s because she’s poor and can’t afford high-end cosmetics and perfumes anymore.

Having to eat in the cafeteria every day, she must have been tired of it long ago.

Wu Jie offering a lavish meal, why wouldn’t she indulge!

He chuckled to himself and picked up Tang Xin’s constantly ringing cell phone, answering the call.

“Xin’er, help me!

I’m done for…

”

Without letting the other person cry and wail, Wu Jie hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Xin’er is not here, I’m her brother-in-law, I’ll have her call you back later!”

“Ah?

Okay, okay, let her call me back as soon as possible, it’s really urgent!”

With that, Duo’er hung up the phone.

Wu Jie waited a while longer, but Tang Xin did not return, so he got up and took her phone to her.

“…

That should be about it, remember to hurry!

My brother-in-law is still hungry!”

As soon as Tang Xin finished speaking, she was tapped on the head.

“You little rascal, it’s clearly you who’s still hungry!”

Wu Jie said with a laugh and handed Tang Xin her phone:

“Someone named Duo’er called you, she has an urgent matter, call her back quickly!”

“Duo’er?” Tang Xin didn’t hesitate and immediately hurried back.

Wu Jie turned to the owner, “How much is it for the dishes she just ordered, in total?”

“Not more, not less, just a hundred thousand after the discount!”

The owner’s face was all smiles, his wrinkles bunched up together.

A hundred thousand yuan!!

Tsk tsk!

Back when I was working, I couldn’t earn that much in a year!

But now…

It’s just a small fraction of the balance left in my bank account.

After paying, Wu Jie had just sat down when Tang Xin stood up furiously.

“You wait, I’m going to bring people over and kill him!!”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xin said with a murderous look, “Bro, my best friend was bullied, help me beat up a shameless scumbag!”

“Aren’t there still dishes yet to be served?” Wu Jie asked in astonishment.

“Tell the owner not to hurry with the dishes, we’ll eat more after we’re done with the beating!”

Tang Xin said, then ran off to speak to the owner.

Wu Jie didn’t dare to delay either, leading the way out to the car and starting it up.

Soon after, Tang Xin strode confidently into the car.

“Quick!

To the Tianyuan Haoya Hotel, Room 888!”
