Chapter 191: Lin Meng Deliberately Takes the Uncle's Family for a Ride
Are you guys mistaken? One meal costs fifty thousand; that's enough to hold a banquet in our village!
Wang Fang couldn't keep her thoughts to herself; one meal could buy three of the bags she had in her hand—how could she not feel heartbroken?
The waiter, well-trained, still maintained a professional smile and said:
Ma'am, you also said that it's in your village, but we are one of the top old-established brands in Jing Shi; moreover, the dishes you ordered are mostly our restaurant's signature items, personally developed by the head chef, so the high price is justified.
Upon hearing that, Wang Fang exploded with anger; she couldn't compare to those true socialites—did she have to be belittled and mocked by a waiter?
But just as Wang Fang was about to lash out, Lin Qianqian grabbed her and shook her head desperately.
Mom, there are many internet celebrities doing live streams here; please just bear it, don't let people laugh at us.
Lin Qianqian wished she could find a hole to crawl into; she had always known her mother was someone who couldn't appear in public, and if a scene were made, with her mother's loud voice and behavior, she'd surely become the laughingstock of the circle by tomorrow.
Lin Meng watched leisurely; sweat was visibly beading on Lin Jianyang's forehead—he must have been frightened silly by the fifty thousand.
So she added fuel to the fire.
Uncle, pay up—didn't you say after the meal you'd come sit at my place?
Upon hearing that, Lin Jianyang could only grit his teeth; unwillingly he took out his bank card, and as he entered the PIN, his whole body trembled, his heart feeling as if it were bleeding.
The fifty thousand just vanished like that, leaving only the uncleaned scraps stuck between his teeth.
At that moment, Lin Jianyang finally realized that compared to truly wealthy people, he was actually nothing.
Looking around, most diners ate leisurely and happily; when settling the bill, they didn't even glance at the amount.
Lin Jianyang's consumption outlook and worldview collapsed and were reshaped at that moment.
At the same time, the desire in his heart to become a true person above others became stronger than ever.
Lin Meng cheerfully led her aunt and cousin out of the restaurant, with three dejected, unlucky souls trailing behind.
Cousin sister, you're amazing—you managed to swindle them out of fifty thousand so quickly!
Even now, Lin Cuihua and Xu Yixiao's hearts were still trembling.
They really stumbled into a heavenly household this time—one meal costing fifty thousand; is this even food for humans? It must be fairy food!
Lin Meng said lightly, 'How can that be called a swindle? Uncle isn't short of money—he can even send his daughter to the Socialite Class; this mere fifty thousand is nothing.'
Upon hearing that, Xu Yixiao was utterly shocked and furtively turned his head to look at Lin Qianqian.
Cousin, you mean her? The Socialite Class?
Lin Meng nodded, and then she saw her cousin shudder as if struck by lightning.
Good grief, is this still the Socialite Class? Do they really think all the rich youths of Jing Shi are fools?
Lin Meng laughed without speaking; she didn't know whether the rich youths of Jing Shi were foolish, but anyway her uncle's family was quite stupid—this investment was doomed to go down the drain.
Lin Qianqian and the two others closely followed Lin Meng, still not recovered from the blow of losing fifty thousand; upon seeing Lin Meng's large G, which symbolized status and wealth, their expressions were quite colorful.
It's all that bitch; she must have done it on purpose! Wang Fang gritted her teeth in anger.
Lin Jianyang's eyes turned dark and menacing; he gave a low warning.
Just bear with it a little longer; fifty thousand has already been spent, and we absolutely cannot waste our efforts—once we get to her villa, she won't be able to get away with it!
Lin Meng's ears twitched slightly, hearing their conversation crystal clear.
She had long guessed her uncle's family's scheming; before they eyed the old house, now they're even more fixated on her villa—truly, a dog can't change its habit of eating feces!
Lin Meng opened the car door and let her aunt and cousin get in first.
At that moment, Lin Qianqian and the two others approached, seeing Lin Cuihua and her son take the back seats; Wang Fang immediately voiced her displeasure:
How did they seize our seats? Lin Meng, your uncle rarely comes to Jing Shi; since he's coming to your place to sit, shouldn't we be allowed to sit first?
Xu Yixiao and Lin Cuihua exchanged a glance, and neither moved their buttocks.
The two families had long been on bad terms, so there was no need to pretend anymore.
But Xu Yixiao still felt heartache for his mother; as a maternal relative, the attitude of his uncle and aunt was truly chilling.
No wonder his mother developed a heart condition when young—having such in-laws from her maiden family, it's surprising she didn't end up harmed by anger.
Mom, don't listen to them; this whole family has terrible character—we should keep our distance from them from now on.
Lin Cuihua herself had already come to terms with it, but she frowned tightly, worried about Lin Meng.
I'm afraid your cousin will be bullied by them; your cousin is still a person from Lin Jia Cun, so I fear they'll take advantage of her having no parents, and even more fear they harbor ill intent and might actually harm her.
Lin Cuihua had already learned the wickedness inherent in her elder brother and his entourage.
Lin Meng now has prospects and is so wealthy; as a lone daughter, if that lot harbored malicious designs and wanted to consume her line, that would be disastrous.
Upon hearing that, Xu Yixiao wasn't particularly worried and even comforted his mother.
Mom, do you think my sister is easy to bully? Rest assured—I think my cousin is quite capable; any misfortune will surely befall the uncle's family.
Just as they were speaking, Lin Meng's voice came through.
Your aunt isn't feeling well, so just ride in my car; uncle, you guys quickly get a vehicle and follow my car.
Wang Fang refused to give in; she just wanted to sit in that multi-million-dollar luxury car, saying it might as well be theirs someday—why should Lin Cuihua get to ride in it?
But Lin Jianyang didn't want to provoke Lin Meng now, so he immediately agreed.
Qianqian, quickly call a car for us to follow; and you, Wang Fang, I warn you—if you stir up any trouble again and ruin my plans, I won't let you off!
Wang Fang dared not defy Lin Jianyang, so she could only keep her head down and stew in her own anger.
Soon, the group set off in two vehicles.
In the hired car, Lin Jianyang spoke.
Driver, follow that leading large G closely.
The hired car driver frowned upon hearing that and asked, 'What are you up to?'
Lin Jianyang brought over his overbearing manner from the village and raised his voice.
What the hell is it to you?! Drive your car, your pay won't be short!
Upon hearing that, the driver gritted his teeth in resentment, holding back anger, and deliberately drove the car unstably.
Wang Fang in the back seat was jolted till she felt sick, but she forced herself to swallow back the filth in her mouth.
She couldn't vomit, because what she had in her belly was cargo worth fifty thousand!
After much effort they finally got onto the mountain road leading to the Half Mountain Villa, and the driver could no longer hold back his words.
"Just ahead is the true rich district, the Half Mountain Villa—only residents' cars are allowed in."
Lin Jianyang wore a smug grin as he sat in the passenger seat, striking a pose as if he were pointing out the land.
"Just follow me; up ahead is my niece—she'll talk to the guard."
The driver was doubtful, but he didn't say anything else.
As Lin Meng passed the entrance guard booth, she indeed stopped and waved at the guard nearby.
"Hey, that car behind has been tailing me—I'm afraid they're up to no good, so please don't let them in."
Having said that, she pressed the gas and drove into the villa district.
Lin Jianyang wore a self-satisfied smile, "Look? Just relax and drive in; today I'll also let you see something."
But soon enough, the security guard proved him wrong.
"Stop—no outside vehicles allowed; if you're a visitor, you need a resident to sponsor you."
Lin Jianyang froze, and the driver began to sneer.
"Heh, let me see something? You're talking big!"
