Chapter 534: Want to Take Advantage of Me? There Isn’t Even a Window of Opportunity
“My fellow sirs, I am truly sorry, but this private room has indeed been reserved by another guest,” persisted the shopkeeper. Although he could see that this group’s attitude was headstrong, the problem was that he absolutely also could not afford to offend Fu Chengyu’s group, thus he could only bite the bullet and say what he had to.
“Who reserved it? Let him come over and meet me,” said the young man as he waved his hand. His attitude and tone was as if Jing Hua Restaurant was run by his family.
“You want to see us?” asked Ling Chuxi with a grin as she and the rest of the group walked over. The guests who came to Jing Hua Restaurant were either rich or noble. Everyone had a little bit of a status or background so nobody was willing to easily offend others, so as to avoid creating strong enemies for oneself in a moment of carelessness. group before them were so arrogant, they obviously did not have such concerns. Ling Chuxi could not help but be curious about their identities. Were they nobles of Nan Xia’s capital or what? Or could it be that they were just the rich kids of some family?
“We want this private room, so the rest of you can make plans elsewhere,” declared the well-dressed young man when he saw Ling Chuxi and her group approach. Although his eyes lit up in recognition and his gaze faltered, he very quickly covered it up and took out a gold note to threw at them.
Seeing his actions, Ling Chuxi almost laughed out loud. There was actually someone before her who dared to take out money to suppress her. She was now in charge of the Su family’s Resurrection Hall’s entire estate, and so was absolutely rich enough to rival an entire country. To compete with her using money? You’d be squashed to death with real gold and silver!
Ling Chuxi teasingly glanced at the other party and dug out a gold note of her own. Just based on the appearance of her note, it was worth quite a large sum more than the note thrown by the other party.
Her intentions were obvious. It was to show the other party, ‘If you want to compete with money? I have some too.’
The young man looked contemptuous and stretched his hand into his sleeves to take out another gold note, but before he could, Ling Chuxi beat him to it. She took out another one, and then another one, then yet another one…
Under the stunned gaze of the young man, Ling Chuxi took out a thick wade of gold notes one by one, then slowly fanned the stack of them open in her hand. Fanning herself with the gold notes, she looked at the young man with a smile that did not look quite like a smile. Ling Yichen and the others were busy holding back their laughter, holding back so much that they could only describe the effort to do so as difficult.
Seeing the other party’s eyes become sluggish, Ling Chuxi was secretly feeling thrilled. ‘I have to say that it feels really good to be able to crush people with money.’ This sum was just from what she had won from her several bet winnings and she had already shocked the other party to such an extent. If she were to bring out the sum from the Su Family’s Resurrection Hall’s properties, it could be reckoned that the other party would not need to do anything further except crawl upon the floor to pick up his eyeballs. Just thinking of this made her feel really thrilled and happy!
The young man hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he was still too embarrassed to take out the gold note he had hidden in his sleeves. He thought he was rich enough. It was only when he saw Ling Chuxi’s display did he know what a real big tyrant was like.
Looking at the gold notes in Ling Chuxi’s hand, the young man’s face alternated between shades of red and white. It was he who had first taken out a gold note to humiliate the other party, but looking at the situation, it was really hard to say whom humiliated whom in the end.
The young man thought Ling Chuxi would throw the gold note in front of him like he did at her, then blatantly humiliate him. He clenched his fist tightly, and his expression became uglier.
“Do you think that I’ll throw these gold notes at you like you did to me and ask you to get lost?” asked Ling Chuxi contemptuously, having guessed at his thoughts. “Don’t worry, I’m not that much of an idiot. This is the private room that we booked. Why should I pay you for it? You want to take advantage of me? Never mind a door, there aren’t even any windows of opportunity to do so. I just wanted to let you see that trying to compete with money in front of me is just seeking an insult,” said Ling Chuxi as she smiled and put the gold notes back into her sleeves. ‘Are you kidding me? Was it easy to work hard to make this money?’ thought Ling Chuxi to herself. How could she let others gain an advantage just for the sake of vindictiveness? She would not do such a foolish thing.
