Chapter 837: Chapter 833: This Meal is on Me

Liu Xuebin never even considered that what Chen Yang said could be true, so naturally, he never thought Chen Yang would actually pay the bill.

But what he didn’t expect at all was that Chen Yang directly agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, this meal’s on me."

Chen Yang agreed immediately, and then he directly pressed the call button on the wall.

After about half a minute, a waiter promptly came in.

"How may I assist you?"

The waiter pushed open the door and stepped in, immediately asking.

Chen Yang stepped forward directly: "I’d like to settle the bill for this private room."

The waiter was about to say "Alright" and pull out a tablet for Chen Yang to pay, but after looking up and seeing it was Chen Yang, their expression instantly turned much more respectful, and they didn’t even ask Chen Yang to pay on the spot.

Instead, the waiter simply said, "Alright," and then turned and left the private room.

Liu Xuebin, along with the other classmates who witnessed this scene, froze on the spot.

Because they could tell from the waiter’s deference to Chen Yang and their refusal to take payment, it was not the kind of treatment anyone could receive.

There had to be some level of influence involved—otherwise, why would a waiter treat an ordinary person with such respect?

Could it be that Chen Yang really had some connection to the Lin Tianxia Hotel?

Suddenly, such a thought popped into everyone’s head, including Liu Xuebin.

However, this idea only lasted a fleeting moment for Liu Xuebin. It was just a waiter, after all—even if Chen Yang did have a connection to the hotel, that didn’t prove anything about his relationship with Li Han.

So he sneered and continued mocking, "Haha, putting on airs to impress people. I have to admit, I didn’t expect you to have some connections here at Han’er’s hotel. When I get back, I’ll have her fully investigate what’s going on here!"

The underlying meaning of Liu Xuebin’s words was clear.

He was both accusing Chen Yang of pretending to be more than he was and asserting his own close connection to Li Han.

The classmates around them, upon hearing this, suddenly felt as if they had an epiphany and immediately caught on.

One by one, they started to believe that Chen Yang just had some minor connection to the hotel.

To actually believe that Chen Yang had any substantial relationship with Li Han? That was utterly inconceivable to them.

After all, in their eyes, Chen Yang was nothing more than a waiter. What gave him the right to climb up to someone as high as the county’s richest family? That was impossible.

"Who would’ve thought this guy actually has some pull here? Haha, well, he’s in trouble now. Running into Xuebin? His little connection is doomed."

"Ah, you see, heaven may forgive misdeeds, but self-inflicted trouble cannot be undone. Chen Yang, you’ve lost your mind."

...

The classmates chimed in one after another, echoing Liu Xuebin’s words and continuing to ridicule Chen Yang.

Seeing their reactions, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh again.

Especially when he heard Liu Xuebin refer to Li Han as "Han’er." That only made him laugh even harder.

In his eyes, Liu Xuebin was nothing more than a clown.

Initially, there wasn’t any real grudge between them, nor did Chen Yang want to make things overly uncomfortable. Agreeing to pay for the meal was his way of drawing a clear line—nobody owed anyone anything.

If he didn’t pay, it would genuinely look like he was just freeloading, which was why he offered to pay. He also thought the waiter’s respectful attitude would shut Liu Xuebin up.

But to his surprise, instead of reining himself in, this guy became even more arrogant, going so far as to call Li Han "Han’er." Well then, Chen Yang wouldn’t hold back anymore.

"Liu Xuebin, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it. So don’t blame me now," Chen Yang said with a smile, shaking his head. Then, he pulled out his phone and called Li Han directly.

"Han’er, are you at the hotel? Good, come downstairs for a moment, will you? I’m in a private room on the second floor. Mm, hurry up." After saying this, Chen Yang ended the call.

While Chen Yang was on the phone, he didn’t put it on speaker, but everyone saw him making a call.

Even though they saw him dialing, they still didn’t believe it. Instead, they laughed at him even more hysterically, saying he’d gone mad and was delusional.

In particular, Liu Xuebin declared that he’d find a good neurologist to treat Chen Yang.

To this, Chen Yang simply smiled and didn’t bother responding.

Because the harder they laughed now, the more it would sting when reality hit them.

Knock, knock, knock...

About two minutes later, the sound of high heels clicking echoed from outside the private room door.

Then, with a creak, the door opened, and a breathtaking face appeared at the doorway.

Who else could it be but Li Han?

The moment Li Han appeared, all the laughter in the private room came to an abrupt halt.

Their facial expressions also underwent a drastic change, freezing in an instant.

"Li... Li President."

Liu Xuebin’s face was now filled with sheer terror.

Li Han, hearing the sound, glanced at Liu Xuebin but didn’t respond. Instead, she swept her gaze across the room.

When her eyes landed on Chen Yang, standing across from the group, her face lit up with a gentle smile.

"So you really are here. Why didn’t you come to my office when you arrived? What are you doing here?" Li Han’s smile was faint, but the sweetness in her eyes was unmistakable!

What this meant was obvious to everyone.

In that moment, everyone’s hearts twisted as if they were watching a surreal scene unfold before their eyes.

"I’m here for a class reunion. I was planning to visit you after the meal, but something came up, so I asked you to come down," Chen Yang replied with a smile.

"Oh? What happened that made you call me down here?" Li Han asked, stepping into the room in her high heels and walking over to Chen Yang’s side.

She vaguely sensed that something was amiss, though she wasn’t entirely sure.

Chen Yang didn’t waste words. Hearing Li Han’s question, he pointed directly at Liu Xuebin and said, "He claimed that you’re his girlfriend and said we’d all be invited to your wedding when the time comes."

"No, no, no, no... President Li, you’ve misunderstood me! That’s not what I meant, President Li, please let me explain!" Liu Xuebin, who had been utterly stunned, instantly panicked upon hearing Chen Yang’s blunt statement. He stumbled over his words, desperate to explain.

But what kind of relationship did Li Han and Chen Yang have? How could she possibly believe Liu Xuebin’s explanation?

"I’m your girlfriend? Liu Xuebin, you’ve got some nerve. I suppose your family isn’t interested in continuing its business dealings with the Li Family, is that it?" Li Han said angrily.

Seeing that she was enraged, Liu Xuebin only became more flustered, sweat dripping from him like rain.

"President Li, you’re really misunderstanding! That’s not what I meant at all," Liu Xuebin stammered, his voice trembling.

"Misunderstanding? Liu Xuebin, that’s not what you said earlier. You were confidently claiming that Li Han was your girlfriend, addressing her as ’Han’er’ over and over. And now it’s suddenly a misunderstanding?" Seeing Liu Xuebin desperately trying to worm his way out, Chen Yang delivered the final blow.

Hearing Chen Yang openly repeat his earlier words, Liu Xuebin was now completely humiliated.

That mix of embarrassment and fear of Li Han’s anger left him utterly at a loss.

His face was as pale as a sheet, devoid of any color.

"Chen... Chen Yang, don’t make things up! I never said any of that," Liu Xuebin still tried to deny it, refusing to admit to anything.

But again, considering the relationship between Li Han and Chen Yang, along with her understanding of Chen Yang’s character...

Would Chen Yang really make up such a thing to falsely accuse Liu Xuebin? Of course not—there was no way she’d believe it.

"Liu Xuebin, I expect a reasonable explanation for this. Otherwise, don’t even think about receiving so much as a shred of business from the Li Family ever again!" Li Han said angrily.

This time, it was clear: she was truly furious.
