The waiter was stunned by his words!
This waiter had worked at the Royal Hotel for several years and had seen many arrogant people, but never anyone as arrogant as Liang Liang.
This was not about eating; it was clearly about coming to the hotel just to spend money.
"Sir, it's just the two of you. You can't possibly eat this much. Perhaps you could reconsider?" the waiter said.
"What? You think I can't afford it?"
Liang Liang snorted and said, "Let me tell you, I'm here to spend money today. If I can't spend all the money in my card, I'm not leaving!"
Seeing this, the waiter dared not say anything more and busied himself with the preparations.
Soon, the food and drinks were served.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath, looking at the table full of dishes and the case of expensive red wine.
This fellow Liang Liang was simply a nouveau riche.
He was venting his anger in this manner.
Jiang Yi had little appetite. He simply ate a little and took a sip of red wine.
Liang Liang, on the other hand, was eating meat and drinking wine heartily, his mouth glistening with grease.
Jiang Yi was dumbfounded!
Just then, the waiter walked in from outside.
"Sir, your total bill is twenty-four million!" the waiter said, holding the bill.
"What?"
Liang Liang's mouth fell open!
"Sir, your total bill is twenty-four million!" the waiter added.
Liang Liang spat out the wine he had just taken into his mouth.
"Cough, cough..."
Liang Liang coughed dryly and nonchalantly said to the waiter, "You can go out first. I'll swipe my card later. Don't worry, I have money!"
"Yes!"
The waiter responded and left the private room.
After the waiter left, Liang Liang slumped onto his chair, sighing, "It's over! I've shown off too much this time! I only have a little over a million in my card..."
Jiang Yi was speechless upon hearing this!
Jiang Yi was truly speechless!
It seemed he would have to pay the bill himself!
Just as Jiang Yi was about to look for his card, he discovered he only had his phone in his pocket. He had left his cards at home.
"I didn't bring my cards!" Jiang Yi said.
"No need. You don't have much money anyway. I'll figure this out!"
After speaking, Liang Liang took out his phone and called his wife.
Half an hour later, a woman stormed into the private room, full of anger.
"Wife..."
Liang Liang quickly went to greet her!
"Slap..."
The woman slapped Liang Liang across the face. "You useless good-for-nothing, you're a parasite! Eating one meal has cost so much money..."
"Wife, please give me some face!"
Liang Liang said helplessly.
"Slap!"
The woman raised her hand and slapped Liang Liang again.
This slap was even harder than the previous one, leaving a distinct mark on Liang Liang's face.
This was not the end!
The woman grabbed Liang Liang by the collar and began to punch and kick him.
Liang Liang dared not fight back and could only endure the beating.
Jiang Yi saw this and didn't know what to say.
This was their family matter, and it was not appropriate for him to interfere.
"And you, you're not much better!"
The woman suddenly turned her attention to Jiang Yi. "Look at your demeanor, you're like a beggar. How dare you come to a place like this to eat? And after eating, you expect me to pay the bill? Dream on..."
"I don't think I've offended you!" Jiang Yi said calmly.
"What, you don't agree? I'm not just going to scold you; I'm going to teach you a lesson..."
With that, the woman raised her palm, preparing to strike Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was very displeased!
This woman was like a shrew.
Just as the woman's palm was about to hit Jiang Yi's face, Jiang Yi preempted her and slapped her hard.
The woman was sent sprawling onto the ground, disheveled and having lost all her previous elegance.
Liang Liang was stunned!
"She deserved that! You don't need to thank me!" Jiang Yi said to Liang Liang.
Liang Liang looked helpless.
"You dare hit me? You just wait! I'll make you pay!"
The woman said angrily to Jiang Yi, then turned her gaze back to Liang Liang and said, "You dare get someone to hit me? I will never let you go!"
With that, the woman stormed out of the private room in anger.
Liang Liang wanted to chase after her, but it was too late!
"It's over!"
Liang Liang's face was filled with a bitter smile. "She's gone, and no one will pay the bill for us. Twenty million! Even if they sell me, I'm not worth that much."
At this moment, the hotel security had blocked the entrance.
They could tell that Liang Liang had no money to pay the bill.
Eating here without paying was tantamount to seeking death.
Liang Liang was sweating profusely.
"Let me think of a way!"
Jiang Yi said, then stood up and walked towards the hotel manager. "I am a friend of Dongfang Mei. I would like to see her. Please inform her that my name is Jiang Yi."
"Hmph!"
The hotel manager snorted coldly. "Kid, with your appearance, you dare call yourself the young lady's friend? Why don't you take a look at yourself in a puddle of water?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
He had originally not wanted to see Dongfang Mei, but he had no other choice.
He had to see her.
But he hadn't expected that he wouldn't be able to see her now!
"I am indeed a friend of your young lady. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask your hotel's general manager!" Jiang Yi said.
Jiang Yi had been to the Royal Hotel many times.
The hotel's general manager knew Jiang Yi.
Seeing that Jiang Yi did not seem to be lying, the manager hesitated for a moment, then said to the security guards, "Keep a close eye on them. They are not allowed to leave this private room until I return!"
"Yes!"
The security guards responded in unison.
Liang Liang furrowed his brow slightly and whispered to Jiang Yi, "Dongfang Mei is the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. How could you possibly know such an important person? I get it now, you're deliberately saying this to distract the hotel manager so we have a chance to escape!"
"Why would we need to escape?" Jiang Yi said.
"Don't joke. This is not the time for jokes. When the hotel manager returns and finds out you lied to him, we're both dead!" Liang Liang said with a bitter smile.
"I'm not joking!"
Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Liang Liang's face showed despair. "We're dead this time."
Jiang Yi did not bother to explain to Liang Liang. Explaining this matter to him was useless because he would never believe it.
Only when Dongfang Mei arrived later would he believe it.
Thinking about having to see Dongfang Mei, Jiang Yi felt a bit of a headache. That woman was too calculating!
He had originally planned to stay away from her, but now he had to approach her himself.
Even he felt utterly ridiculous and laughable!
