Chapter 1539 The Sucker
"I thought you had some backbone, but it turns out you're just a spineless worm."
"Seems like you're nothing special after all."
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, these people looked at him with disdain.
"Kid, hurry up and come over, don't delay the auspicious time," a young man said nonchalantly.
Chen Xuan stood up from his seat and followed these people to Young Master Gong's booth.
Young Master Gong, with a woman on each arm, looked like an emperor of ancient times.
There were various pieces of jewelry on the table. Everyone who came to congratulate Young Master Long received a gift, the most basic being a smartphone.
As Chen Xuan turned to leave, a subordinate who had brought him over whispered a few words to Young Master Gong, and Young Master Gong's expression instantly turned grim.
"Kid, are you saying you didn't come here willingly to congratulate me?"
Young Master Gong stared coldly at Chen Xuan and said in a chilling voice.
"As long as Young Master Gong truly pays for the entire place, I will sincerely offer my congratulations," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"So you're just someone who wants to freeload. I said I'd pay for the whole place, and I will!" Young Master Gong declared magnanimously.
"Then I can rest assured."
"Happy birthday, Young Master Gong," Chen Xuan said faintly.
"Good, good!"
Young Master Gong laughed heartily, picked up a foreign brand belt from the table, and tossed it to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan took the belt, turned, and walked back to his seat. He sat down and casually threw the gift from Young Master Gong into the trash can.
He waved at the waiter.
"Sir, how may I serve you?" the waiter asked.
"Do you have any good wine?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Sir, our bar has Louis XVI, Maotai, Salvador Reserve cocktails, Remy Martin Louis XIII, and ’86 Lafite…"
The waiter rattled off the names of the drinks fluently and efficiently.
One had to admit, the bars in Kyoto were very high-end, offering all sorts of premium liquors.
"Alright, alright, one bottle of each."
Chen Xuan's words were astonishing.
"Ah? One bottle of each?"
"Don't you have them?"
"Of course, we have them, but the combined price of these wines is at least twenty million."
The waiter swallowed and warned him, just in case Chen Xuan couldn't afford it later.
"I don't have money, but today Young Master Gong is paying for the whole place."
"But isn't this too much?"
Young Master Gong said he would pay for the whole place, but he wasn't a complete sucker. Was it really a good idea to order so much wine?
"Are you looking down on Young Master Gong?"
Chen Xuan slammed the table and then glanced at Young Master Gong, giving him a look.
Young Master Gong, being far away, hadn't heard Chen Xuan's exchange with the waiter. He only heard this last sentence and immediately chimed in, "Don't you know I'm paying for everything here? Are you looking down on me?"
The waiter couldn't help but say, "Young Master Gong, perhaps you should check the bill…"
"No need, just serve the drinks according to my brother's order!"
What rich person checks the bill? They just swipe their card!
Checking the bill would be undignified!
"Alright!"
Since Young Master Gong himself said so, the waiter had no choice but to serve the wine.
Chen Xuan expertly opened all the bottles.
Just then, Zhang Xiaolong returned from the restroom, looking apologetic. "Sorry, Brother Xuan, I ate something unclean and it took longer than expected."
"It's fine, have some wine to disinfect," Chen Xuan said with a laugh.
"Red? White? Imported?"
Zhang Xiaolong's eyes widened as he saw a table full of wine that hadn't been there before.
Although he was also wealthy, he had to admit that this wine was very expensive, and he would only indulge in such luxury on special occasions.
"Brother Xuan, why did you buy wine? That's too extravagant?"
"It was a gift from someone else, drink as much as you want," Chen Xuan said faintly.
"Brother Xuan's influence is truly great."
Zhang Xiaolong didn't think much of it, quickly poured a glass for Chen Xuan and then one for himself.
"Not bad, not bad, all good wine! Today, we won't go home until we're drunk!" After a glass, two glasses, three glasses… in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaolong was already tipsy.
Looking at Zhang Xiaolong's state, Chen Xuan suddenly remembered that Zhang Xiaolong couldn't hold his liquor very well. Tonight was his wedding night. If he got Zhang Xiaolong too drunk to consummate his marriage, he would be in a lot of trouble. He quickly poured Zhang Xiaolong a glass of lemonade to sober him up.
At this moment, Young Master Gong had also had enough to drink and waved to the waiter, "The bill!"
The waiter quickly brought the POS machine to settle the bill. When the waiter announced the total to Young Master Gong, his expression suddenly changed, and he snatched the bill in surprise.
Although it wasn't in the style of a rich person to look at the bill, he couldn't accept paying over thirty million for a birthday banquet.
"How could I have spent so much money? Your bar is ripping me off!"
Young Master Gong almost slapped the waiter.
Fortunately, the waiter had anticipated this and quickly said, "Young Master Gong, other people spent only a few million, but that table was filled with expensive wine, totaling over twenty million."
As she spoke, the waiter glanced at Chen Xuan's table.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Young Master Gong was furious.
"You just said that if we didn't serve them, we were looking down on you, and we didn't dare to disobey your orders," the waiter said with a wronged expression.
Young Master Gong was both angry and resentful.
Where would he get so much money to pay the bill? What should he do now?
If he couldn't pay the bill, it would be extremely embarrassing.
Suddenly, a subordinate whispered, "Young Master Gong, the person who ordered the expensive drinks is the guy who refused to congratulate you."
Young Master Gong was stunned for a moment, then his anger erupted. He slammed the table and roared, "Damn it, that kid actually dared to play me!"
How could he not see that Chen Xuan was deliberately playing him?
Who would order twenty million worth of drinks when attending someone else's treat?
Wasn't this a prank?
"That kid dares to play Young Master Gong! It seems he doesn't want to live anymore. Let's go and teach this guy a lesson!"
"Let's get back Young Master Gong's face!"
Young Master Gong's companions and subordinates were shouting, but they didn't make a move. They all looked at Young Master Gong, awaiting his orders.
After all, it was Young Master Gong's birthday. If he didn't give the word, they wouldn't dare to act. If they displeased Young Master Gong, they would have completely misjudged the situation.
"Let's go and make that kid pay the price!"
Young Master Gong suddenly stood up and, with a command, a group of people majestically arrived at Chen Xuan's table.
The surrounding people quickly retreated, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire.
"Crash!"
A baseball bat fiercely struck Chen Xuan's table, and the tempered glass instantly shattered, covered in cracks.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow upon seeing their arrival.
"You still dare to ask why? You actually dared to play Young Master Gong, and you still dare to ask why?" one of Young Master Gong's subordinates said coldly.
Young Master Gong also nodded in agreement, "You have quite the nerve to play me at my birthday banquet, kid."
"Young Master Gong, when did I play you?"
"These drinks of yours…"
Young Master Gong glanced at the wine on the table, feeling even more heartache. He hadn't even had a sip of such good wine; it had all gone to this fellow.
"Young Master Gong, you said you were treating, and I ordered some wine. Isn't that appropriate?"
Chen Xuan's words rendered Young Master Gong speechless.
