"Why don't we just escape!" Liang Liang said to Jiang Yi with resignation. "I'll start a fire later to create chaos, and then we can jump out the window. We're on the second floor, so we won't die."
"Stop with the nonsense. I'll handle it!" Jiang Yi said.
Liang Liang looked at him with doubt. He thought that while his own ability to bluff was unprecedented, Jiang Yi was even better at it. Things had reached this point, yet he was acting as if it were all real, with no flaws visible.
Seeing Liang Liang's expression, Jiang Yi immediately guessed what he was thinking. Liang Liang didn't believe he knew Dongfang Mei. This was normal; Dongfang Mei was the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, a prominent figure whom most people would never know.
"This is all my fault!" Liang Liang said. "If I hadn't come here to show off, none of this would have happened. If something goes wrong later, I'll take responsibility. I won't drag you down."
Jiang Yi remained silent.
"Anyway, my life doesn't have much meaning," Liang Liang continued. "I feel like I'm living worse than a dog. You saw it just now, that ugly woman slapped me the moment she arrived, just like a shrew! I've really had enough!"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh at his words.
"I recall when you first met me, you didn't say this. You said you were living very comfortably, with no worries about food or clothing! She even bought you a BMW worth millions!" Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"I was just trying to save face, so I boasted in front of you!" Liang Liang said helplessly. "I just wanted to show off, who knew something like this would happen."
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh again.
"I know, I'm pathetic!" Liang Liang took a deep breath. "I'm just a clown, but this is the only way I can regain some self-respect. Now, all my self-respect is gone!"
"It's better to be grounded," Jiang Yi said.
"I know!" Liang Liang said, then continued, "I've made up my mind this time. When we go back, I'll divorce that ugly woman directly. I don't want to live like this anymore."
"Are you sure you want a divorce?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes!" Liang Liang nodded and said, "I'm going to divorce that shrew and completely cut ties with her!"
Jiang Yi shrugged. It seemed Liang Liang had made up his mind this time. However, this was Liang Liang's family matter, and it wasn't appropriate for an outsider like himself to comment.
Just then, a familiar figure walked in from outside the private room. It was none other than Dongfang Mei, followed by the hotel manager.
"You... you are Miss Dongfang?" Liang Liang asked hurriedly.
"Yes!" Dongfang Mei nodded.
Liang Liang was stunned. He thought Jiang Yi was joking, but he didn't expect Dongfang Mei to come in person!
"Are you still angry with me?" Dongfang Mei's beautiful eyes swept over Jiang Yi. "It was my fault last time. I apologize. I promise this won't happen again."
Jiang Yi frowned and didn't speak.
"I came to talk to you about something!" Jiang Yi looked at Dongfang Mei and said, "I didn't bring any money. I'll owe you for this meal and bring it to you in a few days!"
"No need!" Dongfang Mei smiled. "You're my boyfriend. When you come to my family's hotel to eat, I won't charge you. I've said this before!"
After speaking, Dongfang Mei's gaze fell on the hotel manager.
"Young Miss, you did say that before!" the manager said quickly.
"Since I said it, why are you still bothering Jiang Yi? I think you, the manager, don't want to do this job anymore!" Dongfang Mei's face showed a hint of anger.
The manager immediately panicked!
"Mr. Jiang, I apologize. I didn't know your identity, which is why this happened. I offer my apologies here and hope you can forgive me!" the manager said to Jiang Yi. The manager was a smart man. He knew begging Dongfang Mei was useless. Only by apologizing to Jiang Yi and gaining his forgiveness could he keep his position as manager.
"Forget it, this isn't your fault!" Jiang Yi looked at the manager and said, "It was us who didn't have the money to pay the bill, which is why this happened!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Jiang. You are truly a reasonable person." The manager began to flatter him.
Jiang Yi smiled. He didn't expect people from the Dongfang family to flatter him.
"You all can leave now!" Dongfang Mei said to everyone.
Hearing this, the hotel manager, along with all the service staff and security guards, left the private room. Once everyone was gone, Dongfang Mei's gaze fell on Jiang Yi, and she smiled slightly. "What happened that night, I went too far. Do you know how happy I am that you can forgive me?"
Jiang Yi was speechless. He hadn't said he would forgive her just now.
"I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said there's a high chance I can get pregnant with your baby this time!" Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi tenderly. "I've been so happy these past few days that I haven't slept well for several nights!"
Jiang Yi was stunned! He was too impressive! He had gotten Dongfang Mei pregnant on the first try. Su Dan Novel Network
Dongfang Mei chuckled. "I've decided. Once I have the baby, I'll marry you." Dongfang Mei intended to follow Jiang Yi's wishes, naturally to please him. She didn't want any rift between them.
"Is he your friend?" Dongfang Mei asked Jiang Yi.
"He's my high school classmate, Liang Liang!" Jiang Yi replied.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei immediately greeted Liang Liang. Liang Liang was overwhelmed and quickly stood up from his chair. "Miss Dongfang, hello..." Liang Liang still felt like he was dreaming. He hadn't expected that Jiang Yi not only knew Dongfang Mei but was also her boyfriend. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Liang Liang wouldn't have believed it was true.
"We have other things to attend to now!" Jiang Yi said to Dongfang Mei. Afterward, Jiang Yi led Liang Liang away from the Royal Hotel.
Watching Jiang Yi's retreating back, a hint of helplessness appeared on Dongfang Mei's face. Dongfang Mei knew that Jiang Yi hadn't truly forgiven her in his heart. However, Dongfang Mei didn't regret it because, in her view, only by getting pregnant with Jiang Yi's child could she tie him down. Even if Jiang Yi didn't forgive her now, he surely would after she gave birth.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi and Liang Liang had already reached the hotel entrance.
