C28 Weirdo!

Although the drinks they ordered were commonly found in other restaurants, when placed inside Grand Hotel, on the other hand, the price of each drink skyrocketed immediately.

Acting as if they were in a world of their own, they quickly shouted out six different orders of beverages before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, Zhouyang noticed a slight change to Niu Chuan's face.

Despite his observations, Zhouyang did not want to say much since the main character for today was Niu Chuan after all. Now, he was just a side character.

Soon, the six orders of drinks were served and carefully placed on the tables.

The two women grabbed the drinks the instant it was placed down on the table like goblins afraid of someone snatching their treasures away.

"By the way, what's your name?"

After drinking a mouthful of orange juice, the slightly older woman, Xiaojing, asked directly as she glanced at Niu Chuan.

Zhouyang was surprised. To think that the other party didn't even know or try to remember Niu Chuan's before coming here. Was she really here for a blind date?

Niu Chuan, obviously did not think this far ahead, replied honestly, "I'm Niu Chuan, but you guys can call me Chuanzi."

"Chuanzi, right? Xiao Yu and I came all the way here. Aren't you going to order some dishes?"

Xiaojing glanced at him and spoke with an aggressive tone.

"This one, this one."

Niu Chuan immediately called for the waiter to order a few dishes.

At that moment, Xiaojing suddenly snatched the menu away and began ordering like there was no tomorrow.

"Alright, just these few dishes."

After saying that, she directly handed the menu back to the waiter without even giving Niu Chuan a chance to have a look at the orders.

At this moment, Zhouyang's expression darkened slightly. From the looks of it, the one who came to this blind date with Niu Chuan was the younger woman called Xiao Yu.

However, this Xiaojing acted as if she was the one here for the blind date instead, taking advantage of Niu Chuan's kindness.

Furthermore, Zhouyang caught a slight glance at the dishes that she ordered, which definitely amounted to over five thousand yuan.

Niu Chuan's four thousand yuan was far from enough, even if it was the entire salary from this month alone.

Niu Chuan was a simple-minded person. Thus, he, meeting other girls for the first time, failed to remember to double check the items ordered on the menu.

"Oh yeah, I heard from Xiao Yu that you work as a security guard?"

The period where they waited for their orders was usually the time when the two people on the blind date would get to know each other.

Instead, Xiaojing asked the questions instead. From the looks of it, she was going to represent Xiao Yu.

"Yes."

Niu Chuan told the truth.

"Tsk tsk, you're just a mere security guard. How do you think you'll be able to support us, fine young ladies? I'll let you know that there are countless people chasing after us wherever we go, you know? Do you think you have anything to offer us?"

Xiaojing, pausing for a moment, subconsciously shifted her gaze from Niu Chuan to Zhouyang.

The moment she saw Zhouyang's appearance, her eyes lit up like a lamp.

Honestly speaking, Zhouyang was pretty good-looking. If not for that fact, he probably would not have been chosen by Xie Lingyu as her family's son-in-law that year.

One could clearly see that Xiaojing's eyes were analyzing Zhouyang's entire body without any form of restraint.

However, this observation only lasted for a short period of time.

When Xiaojing looked all over Zhouyang's body, she couldn't find anything valuable. But the moment she took notice of the slightly wrinkled and old clothes that Zhouyang wore, she immediately retracted her gaze from him.

Zhouyang had been paying close attention to each and everyone of Xiaojing's actions.

When Zhouyang saw the look of pity on Xiaojing's face as she retracted her gaze, he almost sneered at her rude actions.

Despite his accurate observations, Zhouyang decided to not reveal it to anyone. Regardless of Xiaojing did, she was not the main heroine of today.

"Hehe, don't worry. Although I'm just a security guard, I earn a quite decent sum of money as my salary. I don't even need to spend much of my money to support my wife."

Niu Chuan patted his chest proudly and promised solemnly.

"Pfft, you?"

"Judging from your appearance, a month's salary might not even be enough to buy a single piece of clothing for our Xiao Yu. Don't you see? The clothes that Xiao Yu is wearing right now are probably equivalent to that of your few months' salaries. How do you think you'll be able to support her?"

Xiaojing began speaking in a more contemptuous manner when she heard Niu Chuan's words.

At this time, Niu Chuan also felt very awkward.

Taking a glance at Xiao Yu who is currently sitting across him, Niu Chuan attempted to examine the quality of her clothing.

However, for Niu Chuan, a set of clothes worth over a hundred yuan was already very expensive. Thus, he would not be able to recognize pieces of clothing that are worth several times his monthly salary.

Zhouyang, instead, recognized the prices of her clothes at a glance.

Not only had he figured out the price of Xiao Yu's clothing, but he had also noticed the Xiaojing who had been talking this entire time wore clothes from brands such as Chanel and Gucci.

These clothes were worth nothing less than ten thousand dollars each.

Zhouyang found these few hints to be extremely suspicious.

If such a rich woman like her could afford this kind of clothing, did she even need to go on blind dates to find a partner?

Even if it was a blind date, she probably would not even consider giving a security guard like Niu Chuan a chance during the initial selection.

"What kinds of clothes are worth several months of my salary. Please don't joke around with me, Young Miss."

Niu Chuan lowered his head, wanting to change the topic.

These two sentences did not really seem to matter much, but they appeared to have triggered something in Xiaojing's heart.

"Who did you say was the Young Miss? Do you know what you're saying?"

Xiaojing glared at Niu Chuan like a wild cat with its fur standing on end. From the looks of it, if Niu Chuan does not apologize now, she might directly attack him.

"Sorry, sorry, I said the wrong thing."

Niu Chuan failed to understand want he did wrong, so he could only smile and apologize.

"Hey, aren't you being a bit too much here? Where did Chuanzi go wrong in that short exchange?"

However, Zhouyang could not stand watching this ridiculous scene any longer. He had a strange feeling lingering in his heart, but he had no way of being completely sure of it.

Seeing that Niu Chuan was being bullied like this, Zhouyang, as his good brother, could not hold back his temper and began shouting back in response.

"What?! Now there's even someone here to support you? First, you pretend to be rich. Now, you want to bully women like us?! If you don't have the money, then just say so! Don't bother pretending that you have the money to back yourself up. If I knew earlier, I would not have let Xiao Yu come to this blind date in the first place."

Xiaojing, sneering at Zhouyang's remarks, sat on the chair with her legs crossed and glared menacingly at Niu Chuan and Zhouyang.

"Sir, Miss, excuse me but... May I ask if we can serve the dishes now?"

Just then, the waiter walked over and asked about the dishes.

"Serve the dishes. After coming so far, I'm starving to death."

Perhaps it was the interruption of the waiter that eased the tension between the two sides.

Xiaojing ignored Zhouyang and proceeded to ask the waiter to serve the dishes immediately.

They ordered a total of eight dishes and a soup.

Usually, pay for eight different dishes would not pose much problems.

But this was Grand Hotel, a five star hotel! Thus, these eight dishes and one soup would definitely be extremely pricey.

"Big Brother Yang, stop arguing. Come, let's eat."

Niu Chuan, looking at the awkward atmosphere, advised Zhouyang to stop arguing and to start eating.

After hearing Niu Chuan's words, he calmed down and was about to dine in himself. When he saw Xiaojing and Xiao Yu eating without a care in the world and ignoring them both, however, he became livid with rage.

"Wait, Chuanzi, don't eat first."

Zhouyang held his hand and said in a low voice.

Although Niu Chuan was baffled, he still put down his chopsticks due to his trust in Zhouyang.

The two of them watched silently and Xiaojing and Xiao Yu munched down on the dishes before him.

"What is it? Do you two not want to eat? Then don't blame us for not leaving any food for you guys."

Xiaojing glanced at him and said coldly.

"It's alright, you guys eat as much as you want. We'll order our own later."

Zhouyang said slowly.

"What do you mean?"
