Dishes usually taste better after a few rounds of drinking.

Xu Yue was also going to start her performance. No matter what, she had to make Cui Si reveal her true colors.

“Cui Si, how did you become so rich all of a sudden?”

Everyone looked over at Cui Si. They had graduated from the same university so they would know that Cui Si had not always been this wealthy.

Cui Si smiled and casually said, “It’s nothing. I was just lucky. I bought a few hot stocks, and they have been increasing in value over the past few years.”

Cui Si must be really lucky.

But Xu Yue would not believe it so easily. She narrowed her eyes, swished the red wine in her hand, and stared at Cui Si.

“Cui Si, recommend a few hot stocks to us.”

The others looked at Cui Si expectantly. Even if Cui Si only mentioned one, everyone would be able to make a small fortune.

Cui Si was embarrassed. She did not know anything about stocks. She did not even know the names of a few stocks.

Xu Yue looked at the silent Cui Si and the smile on her face grew wider. “Cui Si, we are all classmates. Don’t worry, we’re not here to take your fortune. We just want a share of your luck. Don’t be so selfish.”

Everyone chimed in. They would be grateful if they could be half as rich as her.

Cui Si saw the anticipation in everyone’s eyes and her head grew bigger and bigger.

Xu Yue stood up suddenly and looked down at Cui Si with disdain.

“Cui Si, don’t tell me that you’ve been lying to us?”

Xu Yue’s comment threw the crowd into chaos. If Cui Si was lying about her wealth, what about the dinner?

Just by looking at the food, one could tell that it must be expensive. Even if Xu Yue’s boyfriend was the manager here, it wouldn’t be cheap.

“Cui Si can’t be lying to us. Her car is right outside.”

“That’s right, that’s right. How could a liar drive such an expensive sports car?”

But Xu Yue remained adamant and arrogant. She looked at the others as if they were idiots.

“Are you guys really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Cui Si could have just rented one.”

The crowd instantly fell silent. Xu Yue was right. In this society, there was nothing that couldn’t be rented.

Furthermore, Cui Si’s silence made them even more certain that Cui Si was lying.

Everyone started to panic. None of them had enough money to afford the meal that night.

“Everyone, eat without worry. Even if Cui Si can’t afford this meal, my boyfriend and I will bear the cost of this meal. It’s only a few hundred thousand yuan.”

Cui Si sneered. How could a manager have so much money?

Xu Yue held up her wine glass and arrogantly said, “Cui Si, next time, if you don’t have the money, then just say so. Why do you have to pretend to be rich in front of your classmates?”

The others nodded in agreement.

For someone to put up pretenses and agree to host this event but couldn’t actually pay for it is so hateful.

Cui Si stood up and looked at Xu Yue with a cold smile.

“Xu Yue, your boyfriend is only the manager of this hotel. Does he have that much money to pay for this meal?”

Xu Yue rolled her eyes at Cui Si. If he couldn’t, why would she be doing this?

“Cui Si, my boyfriend is the manager here. He has the right to waive the bill for some guests every month. Don’t worry.”

Cui Si had received a call from his former boss earlier and knew that the manager had the right to do so.

However, that was only for the sake of some distinguished guests. What would happen if upper management found out?

Cui Si had a playful smile on her face. Since someone wanted to court death, she would grant her wish.

“Then let your boyfriend come in for a while. I want to ask who gave him such a big right to freely use the hotel’s resources.”

Xu Yue looked at Cui Si with disdain. Did she want to question her boyfriend?

Cui Si was such a loser. What right did she have to meet him just like that?

Everyone chimed in, telling Cui Si to stop pretending. Xu Yue had already helped her a lot.

“Cui Si, enough is enough.”

“That’s right. Her boyfriend is so busy. How could he have time to talk to you?”

“Who are you? What right do you have to ask about Manager Xia?”

Xu Yue looked at Cui Si arrogantly, intending to make her lose her reputation in the crowd.

She had already achieved half her goal of humiliating Cui Si. All she needed to do was to see her plan to the end.

Cui Si looked at Xu Yue as if she was an idiot. Her boyfriend was about to die, yet she was still so happy.

“Of course I have the right to question your boyfriend.. I am the owner of Yunfeng Hotel!”
