âOf course, you think Iâm a person like you? I come from a rich family, you wonât be able to compete with me. Be smarter next time, donât act like youâre the king of the world!â advised Wei Xing, as if he was teaching Ye Lang a life lesson. Everyone could hear how delighted he was though.
âSir Wei Xing, I havenât finished talking,â said Ye Lang with a smile.
âWhat did you want to say? Just say it, I donât mind,â said Wei Xing, looking at him with contempt. He guessed Ye Lang was about to admit defeat and kiss his ass.
âYou still owe them eight hundred gold coins, you should quickly pay them,â said Ye Lang mildly.
âYouâre a savage indeed, you think Iâm actually going to spend a thousand gold coins like that?â Wei Xing said after a pause, then he shook his head like he pitied Ye Lang.
âIâm sorry if you didnât understand me? You have to pay up eight hundred gold coins,â said Ye Lang patiently.
ââŠâ Wei Xing paused and then let out a guffaw. âHahaâŠâ
âWhat are you laughing so idiotically about?â asked Ye Lang.
âIdiotically? Iâm laughing at you!â Wei Xing glared coldly.
Ye Lang was confused. âWhat are you laughing at?â He did not sense that Wei Xing had turned hostile.
âIâm laughing at you for being stupid. You think Iâll pay one thousand just because you said so?â Wei Xing said with a sneer, his nose in the air.
âI didnât say that, you did?â said Ye Lang mildly.
âWhen did I ever!â huffed Wei XIng.
âYou just did, everyone here heard you!â
âWhat a joke, you think I donât remember what I said?â
âYou said youâll order what I ordered, then youâll pay ten times more than my payment, do you remember?â asked Ye Lang with a grin.
âOf course I do, didnât I write the head lady a cheque for two hundred? You mean itâs more than two hundred? You ordered so little, itâs just snacks!â huffed Wei Xing. He looked down on their dishes. He usually had more extravagant feasts than that.
He didnât really like ordering dim sum here- he preferred more expensive dishes!
He was wrong. The dimsum here was equally expensive and because they ordered many plates, the meal here was worth as much as his usual feasts.
âIt obviously isnât enough! If you want to pay ten times what I did, how is two hundred enough? Be smart enough to pay the rest of the eight hundred or tell everyone here that you donât have money, that you canât afford it, that you apologise. Then Iâll let you go. Weâre very generous!â Ye Lang said with a smile, as if he was not petty at all.
âI said ten times your payment, it isnât like I canât afford it! Donât you say you paid a hundred!â huffed Wei Xing. He would never apologise and say he had no money.
However, he never once considered that Ye Lang did pay a hundred gold coins. It was just unlikely. One hundred gold coins was not a small sum. Even a young master of a major clan found one hundred gold coins to be expensive.
Of course, it wasnât like he didnât have the moneyâ he just wouldnât want to spend so much on something so minor.
âHead lady, tell me! How much did he pay!â Wei Xing saw that Ye Lang was about to speak so he immediately turned to ask the head lady. He thought Ye Lang was lying.
It was not the same for the head lady. If she still wanted to work here, then she must tell the truth.
âSir Wei, the gentleman here paid us a hundred gold coinsâŠâ she said helplessly. She didnât want to tell him, she wanted to hide but if he insisted, she had no choice.
âWhat?! Are you joking? He paid you a hundred? How is that possible?â Wei Xing was shocked, fear creeping in. He didnât know what to do.
If he really had to pay a thousand gold coins now, that was the same as paying with his life. How long would he have to live without money? A few years? A decade?
âThis is the cheque he gave us, it isnât a jokeâŠâ The head lady took out Ye Langâs cheque, proving her point.
ââŠâ Wei Xing was silent.
âWhatâs the matter? Itâs actually a small thing, just a thousand coins. If you canât afford it, Iâll let you go but on one condition- next time, if you see us, you get the hell out of our sight. understood? â Ye Lang said with a smile, though his smile invoked terror.
Anyone who said âget the hell out of my sightâ with a smile was scary. Looks like it was best not to provoke this young man.
Actually, they didnât know that Ye Lang was smiling because this wasnât even something he wanted to say. These were all Coldblood Fiveâs words. He could care less. Ye Lang was just maintaining a polite smile on his face.
âI⊠You, Iâll show you that one thousand gold coins is nothing to me! Here, a cheque for eight hundred gold coins!â
Ye Langâs words and tone made Wei Xing lose his mind, he was going insane now. The gentleman from the Liu family could not stop him in time while Sir Ximen stood and watched in silence.
âBrother Wei, thatâs also our money in there! Donât do this on impulse, take that cheque back!â Sir Liu gave the head lady a look, implying that she should not keep the cheque.
âTreat it as me borrowing from you for the moment! Iâll still pay you all, I can afford one thousand!â said Wei Xing through clenched teeth. It was obvious his heart ached for the one thousand gold coins.
âSir Wei, youâre a man!â praised Ye Lang with a thumbs up. Everyone felt like he was mocking Wei Xing.
Everyone saw how Ye Lang cut Wei Xingâs heart deeper when he was already bleeding.
âHmmph!â If he could, Wei Xing wouldâve pounded on Ye Lang.
âLittle Five, Feiyan, be careful when you choose your husband next time. You have to check if theyâre a man like Sir Wei here,â said Ye Lang solemnly.
