The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Chapter 105

Ling Hua felt awkward and uneasy when Jiang Moxi brought her back to the entrance of VIP Room 1022.

Growing up in a single parent home, she had developed a character that feared causing trouble.

In the past, she would have chosen to smooth things over peacefully, despite feeling aggrieved inside, and she would even end up paying the bill for everyone.

It seemed like there was an invisible force about Jiang Moxi that made her inexplicably convincing.

Led by her, Ling Hua suddenly felt emboldened.

"Wait here for a moment, I’ll bring this in," Jiang Moxi said, pointing to the champagne bottle in her hand.

Due to her mother Ling Yinan running a winery, Ling Hua was familiar with these expensive beverages.

So, she quickly recognized the champagne bottle as the Dom Perignon Rose Gold, priced at no less than $47,000.

At this point, she already had a rough idea of what Jiang Moxi intended to do, but she just nodded.

Then Jiang Moxi walked into the room holding the champagne.

"Excuse me, I’m new here. Is this Dom Perignon Rose Gold your order? I wasn’t sure if I took the wrong one."

Jiang Moxi asked them with a smile, her eyes overly clear and deliberately feigning ignorance, which caused the men and women in the room to drop their guard.

"We didn’t order this drink," one of them responded quite honestly.

But at this moment, Yang Fei, who always wore a pink Lolita skirt, stepped forward and took the champagne from Jiang Moxi’s hands.

"It was us who ordered it."

"Yang Fei, stop joking. That drink’s name sounds expensive," said the boy sitting next to Yang Fei.

He looked somewhat rebellious, with a haircut that revealed the skin on the sides of his head.

Jiang Moxi thought, this must be Ling Hua’s idol, Tang Guangjun.

"What’s there to fear? No matter how expensive, we’re not the ones paying."

The intention behind Yang Fei’s comment was clear to the others.

Only one girl hesitated and said to Yang Fei, "Isn’t this bad?"

"It’s bad, then don’t drink later! It’s not like you haven’t done this before!" Yang Fei retorted.

Seeing Yang Fei’s tone turn sour, the others quickly adjusted their stance, "Huahua, you’re really clever. No wonder you always manage to treat us to good stuff."

Afterwards, no one raised any objections.

Even Ling Hua’s idol, Tang Guangjun, seemed unfazed by this, not commenting at all.

Jiang Moxi, observing their reactions, smiled again and asked, "Shall I open it for you?"

"Sure, go ahead and open it," Yang Fei replied.

With that, Jiang Moxi quickly opened the champagne for them, found some stylish champagne glasses, and poured drinks for them.

After efficiently handling everything, Jiang Moxi left the room with a smile.

Outside the room, Ling Hua looked dejected.

Actually, when Jiang Moxi had entered the room earlier, she only left the door slightly ajar.

That way, Ling Hua could overhear most of the conversation inside the room.

The people she considered friends were actually just using her like a cash machine.

Especially her idol Tang Guangjun, who virtually endorsed Yang Fei’s bullying from start to finish.

In that moment, Ling Hua’s admiration for him completely shattered.

After Jiang Moxi left the room and saw Ling Hua looking like her world had collapsed, she coldly said, "Let’s go. Later, just watch the drama unfold."

"Oh." Ling Hua followed Jiang Moxi’s steps to the staff rest area.

It wasn’t long before Ling Hua received a call from Yang Fei.

"Huahua, where are you? Why haven’t we seen you in so long?"

At this time, it was nearly 10 p.m., and they had school the next day. Many of them had already received calls from their parents urging them to come home.

So, as usual, Yang Fei planned to call Ling Hua over to pay the bill.

"I’m already home," Ling Hua said.

"Why are you home so early? Hurry up and come over, we’re all waiting for you!" Yang Fei was slightly annoyed.

If Ling Hua doesn’t come, how will they deal with the cost of the wine they just drank?

"It’s really cold outside today, I don’t want to go out."

Ling Hua’s response outright annoyed Yang Fei.

"You are such a killjoy! Fine, since you can’t come, just transfer the money for today’s bill to me!"

Before coming today, Yang Fei, as usual, had made the "I’ll treat, you pay" arrangement with Ling Hua.

Usually, Ling Hua would transfer the money without a second word.

Like last time, although they had an unpleasant argument, Ling Hua still paid the bill.

Thus, Yang Fei was convinced that Ling Hua would obediently follow her orders this time.

Unexpectedly, Ling Hua suddenly said: "If you want to treat, naturally you should pay the bill. I don’t want to be such a big sucker anymore."

Ling Hua’s straightforwardness really panicked Yang Fei.

She had just seen the bill, that bottle of Dom Perignon or whatever, it cost over three hundred thousand.

Together with their consumption tonight, it all adds up to nearly four hundred thousand.

"Huahua, don’t joke like this. I know you still consider me a friend!"

Yang Fei hailed from an ordinary working-class family. Even her parents couldn’t possibly conjure up four hundred thousand all at once, let alone her alone.

And if her father, who worked on construction sites, knew that she had spent four hundred thousand in such a place in one go, he would definitely break her legs.

Seeing that Ling Hua still showed no signs of relenting, Yang Fei became furious.

"If you want to draw a line with us, you should have made it clear before today’s expenditure. Have you thought about how we are supposed to handle this bill now?"

"How come you never thought about how I dealt with the bills every time when the expenses were so high?"

Ling Hua coldly retorted, and without waiting for Yang Fei’s response, she bluntly said: "The amount of today’s bill is only one-tenth of what you repeatedly consumed from me before. Besides, you all ate the food, and I didn’t touch any of it. So, pay the bill yourself and don’t look for me again!"

After saying all she wanted in one breath, Ling Hua hung up the phone and efficiently blocked their numbers...

Meanwhile, Yang Fei and others were having a serious internal strife over the four hundred thousand bill.

"This wine was left by you, Yang Fei, so you should be the one to pay."

"Then who drank the most? Who kept praising how much better this tastes than what’s bought from supermarkets?"

"Tonight, you said you wanted to celebrate your relationship with Tang Guangjun and called us to join. You and Tang Guangjun should pay together."

Tang Guangjun suddenly panicked: "Anyway, I don’t have that much money to pay, I’m going home."

Although his family was financially better off than the others, producing four hundred thousand at once was still a strain.

Seeing Tang Guangjun trying to slip away, the others naturally couldn’t just watch.

In an instant, the young men and women were wrestling with each other.

Finally, the police arrived and took away these people who had dined and dashed and caused internal strife.

Watching them being taken away by the police car, Ling Hua couldn’t describe how relieved she felt.

"Moxi, thank you for standing up for me."

"No need to thank me, just study hard in the future. Don’t end up helpless like them, crying and whining when trouble arises," Jiang Moxi said.

"Yes, I will definitely study hard in the future and not embarrass my mom."

Having just witnessed the brawl among them, Ling Hua silently vowed never to become such a person who would embarrass her mother.

Jiang Moxi, seeing Ling Hua so energized, also felt relieved and chatted with her for a few more sentences before sending her home quickly.

Jiang Moxi had just sent Ling Hua away and returned to the entrance of Night Color, when a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind.

"Jiang Moxi?"

Jiang Moxi turned around and saw Si Lin staring at her face with some astonishment.

He had just overheard the conversation between Jiang Moxi and Ling Hua and thought it was just a coincidence of names.

Only at this moment, meeting Jiang Moxi’s highly distinctive eyes, did he confirm that this unbelievably beautiful person was indeed Jiang Moxi...
