Chapter 81: The Rich Second Generation's Fifth Brother
After finishing, he hung up the phone. The bald man looked at me nervously, then took the phone and said respectfully, "Big Brother, what do you think about this?"
"It's fine now, you all can go!" I said indifferently.
Hearing my words, the group of them acted as if they had been granted amnesty and scrambled to get up and leave.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, my single word scared them into stopping in their tracks. I looked at the bald man and asked in confusion, "By the way, I remember there's an admission fee to get in here. How did you get in? Did you buy tickets too?"
The bald man was sweating profusely. Hearing my question, he let out a sigh of relief and continued, "I know the security guard at the entrance; he let us in. The checks here aren't very strict either. You know, our city isn't like a big city; there aren't that many rules, everything is quite casual!"
"Oh, alright then, you can get lost!"
Hearing my words, they hurried away. Zhang Wu, who was on the side, looked at me excitedly and said, "Damn, Fourth Brother, you actually know Huang Laohu? That's impressive!"
"I knew him before, but we aren't very close. He did me a favor once, and at most, we can be considered to have a mutually beneficial relationship," I explained.
"That's still pretty badass. Huang Laohu is a local boss; he has quite a reputation even in other places!" Zhang Wu said.
After this incident, Su Xueya and Hu Wei no longer had the mood to continue playing at the amusement park, so we decided to go eat. Zhang Wu generously offered to treat us to this meal. I was more than happy to let him pay, since I had no money.
We returned to the vicinity of the school. Originally, I wanted to just find a restaurant near the school, but as soon as Zhang Wu stepped through the door of one of these places, he frowned and said, "How can we eat here when treating Fourth Brother and Third Brother? We need to change to a more high-end place!"
I looked at Zhang Wu speechlessly and said, "This isn't considered high-end? Do you have more money than you can spend? Don't waste money for no reason!"
"It's fine, Fourth Brother, you don't need to save money for him. This guy is loaded; his dad gives him over a hundred thousand in pocket money every month!" Hu Wei, who was on the side, spoke up.
When I heard about the hundred thousand in pocket money, the corners of my mouth twitched. This was just too terrifying. It really is true that comparing people to others only leads to frustration. Why couldn't I have landed such a good foster father? What kind of concept is a hundred thousand? I would be lucky to spend twenty or thirty thousand in a year, and this guy gets over a hundred thousand in pocket money a month. He really is a beast.
"That's right, Fourth Brother, don't worry, I lack everything except money!" Zhang Wu said showily.
"Fine, since you've said so, you pick the restaurant!" I said helplessly to Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu brought me to the Jin Ling Hotel. I had been here once before; it was when I came with Sister Ling. The prices were truly jaw-dropping, but thinking about Zhang Wu's hundred-thousand-a-month allowance, it didn't really matter. After all, a meal would cost at most ten or twenty thousand, which wouldn't kill him, and since there were only a few of us, we couldn't order that much food anyway.
After we arrived, the waiter at the entrance hurried out to greet us and said to me, "Welcome, sir. How many people are there today?"
"Five people, just give us any table," I said indifferently.
"No, we need a private room!" Zhang Wu said with an unhappy expression.
The waiter looked at me awkwardly, seemingly waiting for my opinion. I smiled and said, "Fine, a private room it is."
"Very well, please follow me!" The waiter led the way respectfully.
"Do you know me?" I asked, looking at the waiter in front of me with confusion, because his attitude toward me made me feel a bit flattered.
"I saw you eating with Sister Ling and Mr. Zhang before!" the waiter explained.
Hearing this, I understood. This guy probably thought I had some major background and didn't dare to neglect me.
Zhang Wu looked at me strangely and said, "Fourth Brother, you even know Zhang Longtao?"
"Yeah, I know him, and quite deeply at that," I said through gritted teeth. Su Xueya, who was beside me, was trembling slightly, her eyes a bit red.
Zhang Wu was just about to ask something when Hu Wei quickly pulled him back and glared at him. Zhang Wu awkwardly shut his mouth.
Not long after, Third Brother arrived. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted loudly, "Damn, Fourth, did you strike it rich? You're actually treating me to a meal at this hotel!"
However, when he entered and saw that it wasn't just me and Su Xueya there, he paused. His eyes looked at Zhang Wu, and he immediately said in surprise, "Are you Fifth Brother?"
"Third Brother!" Zhang Wu excitedly hugged Xu Hongzhi. Third Brother's face darkened, and he pushed Zhang Wu away, shouting, "Damn, what are you doing? I'm not into that!"
The whole group burst into laughter. Third Brother also looked at Zhang Wu excitedly and said, "Fifth Brother, you've been doing pretty well lately, treating us to this hotel!"
Zhang Wu scratched his head foolishly and said, "Just got lucky, hehe!"
"Who is this?" Third Brother looked at Hu Wei, who was beside Zhang Wu, and his eyes lit up.
"This is your sister-in-law, Hu Wei!" Zhang Wu started to introduce her.
"Fatty, who is your sister-in-law? I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense. If you ruin my reputation outside like this again, I won't let you off!" Hu Wei glared at Zhang Wu angrily.
Seeing Hu Wei's reaction, Third Brother laughed and patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder meaningfully, saying, "Fifth Brother, the revolution hasn't succeeded yet, you still need to work hard!"
Zhang Wu laughed awkwardly. We started bragging to each other. When Third Brother heard that Zhang Wu had been adopted by a wealthy family and that they had even arranged a marriage contract for him, he shouted angrily, "Damn, the heavens are unfair! Did you save the galaxy in your past life? Why are you so lucky, while Fourth and I are so miserable?"
"No, wait, Fourth isn't miserable at all. I'm the most miserable, okay? The number of women around this guy is just too many, and they're all top-tier. I really don't know what these women are thinking!"
"Uh, Fourth Brother has a romantic history outside?" Zhang Wu asked in surprise.
I coughed twice, signaling them not to continue. At this moment, Zhang Wu also realized what he had said and looked at Su Xueya beside me, saying awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean it like that. A good man like Fourth Brother definitely wouldn't be fooling around!"
"It's fine, you guys can continue, don't mind me. I know about him; there's Zhang Yinuo, and there's Chen Ling. I remember there's also a Zhuge Yue, right? Very good, they're all quite nice!" Su Xueya said calmly, as if these people had nothing to do with her.
However, the atmosphere became exceptionally awkward. Third Brother and Fifth Brother didn't know what to say, and I was nervously guessing Su Xueya's thoughts. ===== CHAPTER 82 =====
