Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Bill(1)_1

"Alright, when the young lady gives it to you, you’ll find out," Xia Yujie helplessly shook his head at his brother bound by adversity. This man, usually so serious and earnest in his work, was a completely different person when it came to the young lady. "Do you still want to see who was bold enough to mess with the miss? If you want to see, hurry up and follow along." Xia Yujie pushed Liu Yuxiang, who was still sulking because Situ Xin ignored him.

Then, he followed Situ Xin, who led the way, and Liu Yuxiang, jolted by Xia Yujie’s push, regained his composure and followed as well.

As Situ Xin noticed Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang catching up with her, she realized why they followed her. She didn’t care about such things, so she let them tag along.

By the time Situ Xin reached the lobby counter, the other students from the class had already arrived. "Hey, Situ Xin, why are you so slow? Putting on such airs, making so many of us wait for you." The sight of Situ Xin intensified Liu Qianxue’s already dissatisfied expression. She had just been enjoying herself when her brother dragged her out, and she was already in a bad mood. Now that she had to wait for Situ Xin, all her dissatisfaction was directed at her.

"If you don’t want to wait, you don’t have to—I certainly didn’t ask you to wait," Situ Xin said in a leisurely manner as she walked over to Situ Jin and their classmates, then addressed the other students, "I’m sorry for making everyone wait."

"No, no problem at all. We are all willing to wait," replied most of the students, who were aware of Situ Xin’s status and dared not offend the precious gem of the Situ Family.

"You, you guys..." Liu Qianxue was infuriated by the reaction of her classmates and couldn’t speak coherently.

"Xiao Xue, calm down." Although Liu Zhengyang was a grandson of the Liu Family, he had always been overshadowed by his spoiled younger sister, Liu Qianxue. The elders had ingrained in Liu Zhengyang from an early age the importance of caring for his sister, and over time, he had become accustomed to not raising his voice in front of her.

Seeing that the entire group had arrived, the server approached and asked, "Good evening, would you like to settle the bill now?"

"Yes, let’s get the check," Liu Zhengyang said as he pulled his sister Liu Qianxue along and followed the server to the counter. "Gold Card member, account 158, to check out." At Broadway, from the moment you enter and present your membership card, your entire spending record is linked to that card. That meant, at checkout, they would only need to report the card type and the number to know how much had been spent at Broadway during that visit.

"Certainly, sir. Gold Card member, account 158, your total expenditure today is 30,000 yuan." When the server announced this figure, Liu Qianxue and Liu Zhengyang exclaimed in unison, "What, how much did you say?" Both thought they either misheard or that Broadway had made a mistake in the calculation.

The checkout counter wasn’t far from where Situ Xin and the others were standing plus, Liu Qianxue and Liu Zhengyang were not quiet in their outburst. Consequently, the whole place erupted into a commotion with their utterance.

"What’s going on? What happened?" "I have no idea. Could it be that Liu Zhengyang didn’t bring enough money?" A voice whispered among the crowd.

"No way, if Liu Zhengyang doesn’t have enough money, what will we do? I only came because I was told someone else was treating. I don’t have any money on me," said the speaker, clearly one of Situ Xin’s classmates from a more average financial background. Indeed, anyone who steps into Broadway knows that it’s not cheap—an expenditure beyond the reach of ordinary folks.

"Yeah, I’m broke too. Maybe we should just leave," someone suggested. Their proposal quickly gained support from many.

"You can’t do that, Liu Zhengyang invited us here for a meal, we can’t just run off on our own," the class president interjected.

"Cut it out, he volunteered to treat us himself. Moreover, we didn’t even touch the menu at our table during the meal—it was all decided by his sister. Why should we stick around for them?" replied a young lady who was also spoilt by her wealthy family. She had been discontent with Liu Qianxue’s every move, and now all her frustration came pouring out.

It was clear there were many unhappy with Liu Qianxue as the young lady’s words were met with resounding agreement from the others.

Just as the class president was protesting "You can’t just leave like this," most people had already departed from Broadway. Those who remained were either a few curious ones wanting to see what would happen or those who had a good relationship with the classmates.

"Liu Zhengyang is really in trouble this time," said Situ Jin with a touch of schadenfreude. While others in the class might not be aware of the spending level at Broadway, he was quite informed.

Not to mention the dishes that Liu Qianxue had ordered earlier—they’d come with a four-figure price tag.

Xiao Muli’s facial expression didn’t change, but his eyes gleamed with glee no less than Situ Jin’s. Meanwhile, Yu Qihao frowned upon hearing the vociferous appeal from Liu Zhengyang and Liu Qianxue.

Situ Xin, with her arms folded, watched in the direction of Liu Zhengyang and Liu Qianxue, picking up on Situ Jin’s comment with a giggle, "Hehe, more than just in trouble, he’s deep in it." Situ Xin, on hearing Liu Zhengyang whip out the Broadway gold card and offer to host everyone, immediately remembered the Liu Family’s recent situation and knew the old master was up to something.

Inwardly, she wondered if this could be considered a case of trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice used to lure it.

"Could it be that you’ve made a mistake in the calculation?" Liu Zhengyang wiped the sweat from his forehead, then pulled out the membership card from his pocket. "Check again if the membership you reported is really ours." Right now, he desperately hoped Broadway had made an error.

Even though Old Master Liu, in his effort to curry favor with Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao on Liu Zhengyang’s behalf, had given him a substantial amount of money—an amount that was significant for students at the time—neither of them had been to Broadway before and were unaware of its prices. Old Master Liu had thought the 10,000 yuan he gave to Liu Zhengyang was quite generous and more than enough to treat three tables of guests.
