“Gerald, are you serious? You want a box of the red wine?”
This had
seriously exceeded Yuri’s expectations. However, it was too late for him to
retreat now or Gerald
would beat him
just like that.
“Of course I’m
sure about my decision. However, if you find it too expensive, you can change
the red wine for
something
cheaper, Yuri…” Gerald said once again.
Gerald had
already been despised and bullied by these boys for the past three years. This
was nothing to him
today. He
wanted to seek justice for all that he had suffered in the past.
After
listening to Gerald’s ridicule, Yuri simply gritted his teeth and said, “I
don’t
think it’s
expensive at
all! You can just order whatever you want! I will just split
the bill with you at the end of the day.”
“Okay. Okay
then. I can rest assured now. By the way, waitress, I hope you remember that
this young man and I
will be
splitting the bill for this luxurious private room!”
Gerald was
afraid that Yuri would not admit it in the end. Therefore, he decided to remind
the waitress of this
fact in front
of everyone.
The waitress
nodded before she said, “Yes, sir! I know. If that’s the case, I’ll serve the
food right away!”
The rest of
them did not care at all. No matter what it was, it seemed as though Gerald and
Yuri would not
admit defeat
anyway. This would be the most record-breaking meal that they ever had in their
life.
Everyone
started drinking the high-end red wine at this time. As they were eating and
drinking, Gerald opened a
special system
website on his cell phone. This was a website used to manage all of the shops
and businesses on
Mayberry
Commercial Street, with detailed information on each and every one of these
shops here.
In fact, Zack
had handed this website over to Gerald when he signed the renewal contract the
last time.
Therefore,
Gerald decided to log in to take a look at this time as he wanted to check out
the prices of the
dishes and wine that he had ordered.
The import
prices for the six bottles of red wine was a little more than six thousand
dollars. Furthermore, the
cost for the
ordinary dishes for the three tables in the private room downstairs and the
signature dishes that
they enjoyed
in the luxurious private room cost about three thousand dollars. Therefore,
Gerald would lose
about nine
thousand dollars for this meal tonight.
However, Yuri
and the others would have to spend at least ten to eleven thousand dollars
tonight! Otherwise,
Gerald would
not have continued fighting against Yuri in this manner.
The classmates
continued enjoying their food and drinks for more than two hours.
Yuri and Danny
were not very happy as they ate their dinner. They kept holding their cell
phones in their hands
and everyone
else did not know what they were doing…
After they
were finally done eating and drinking, Gerald looked at Yuri and Danny, who had
anxious looks on
their faces.
“What now,
Yuri? If we’re done with dinner, should we checkout and pay for the
meal now? By
the way, Yuri, the
waitress
already knows
that we are splitting the bill for this luxurious private
room. So,
don’t tell me you
have no money to pay for the meal later! Otherwise, you’d
really be in a lot of trouble tonight!”
“What? Why
would I be afraid of you?” Yuri said in a bitter manner.
To be honest,
he did not have enough money at the moment. In fact, he had already spent the
whole night trying
to raise more
money with Danny. As Gerald had already specifically mentioned the fact that he
would be
splitting the
bill with Yuri to the waitress, there was no way for Yuri to get out of this at
all!
Moreover, all
of the friends that he had texted did not bother answering their phones or
replying to his
messages as
soon as they saw that he wanted to borrow some money from them!
Damn it!
“Gerald, what
are you implying? After paying for this meal tonight, you’ll be nothing more
than a pauper once
again! So, why
don’t you worry about yourself instead?” Xavia said as she glared angrily at
Gerald.
After that,
she looked at Yuri before she said, “Brother Yuri, why don’t we go to the
counter to pay for the
food now?
Let’s see who shall be the one crying later!”
Even though
Xavia also felt distressed because Yuri had to spend so much money on this
dinner, she thought that
it was totally
worth it since Gerald would become a pauper again after tonight!
As they were talking, the group of people, including all
their classmates who enjoyed dinner at the other three
tables, also
headed downstairs.
Everyone was
gathered in the lobby at this time.
Gerald’s
classmates were undoubtedly very happy with the meal that they had enjoyed
tonight.
Even though
most of them did not get to enjoy their dinner in the luxurious private room,
they still felt very
grateful
towards Gerald.
“Hello, sir.
In addition to the three tables in the private room downstairs, Mr. Crawford
and Mr. Lowell will
be splitting
the bill for the luxurious private room upstairs. Each of you will need to pay
eleven thousand
dollars after
splitting the bill.”
What?
“That meal
cost twenty two thousand dollars? Oh my god!”
Everyone was
shocked at this time.
Gerald was
indifferent as he took out the money from his backpack before he immediately
settled the bill for
the eleven
thousand dollars and the three tables for hi
s classmates
downstairs.
At this time,
it seemed as though Gerald only had six to seven thousand dollars
left.
However, this meal had actually cost him only about seven to
eight thousand dollars.
After paying
the bill, Gerald looked at Yuri before he said, “Yuri, aren’t you going to
settle the bill now?
Everyone’s
waiting to go home!”
“Hmph!”
Yuri looked a
little embarrassed at this time.
He regretted
his actions now. He had only decided to continue fighting heads on with Gerald
because he was
angry earlier.
Moreover, he thought that he would be able to borrow some money from his
friends before settling
the bill.
Unfortunately, he did not manage to do so.
Everyone was
staring at Yuri at this time and this made him feel very stressed and
embarrassed.
“Well, miss,
could you please put this bill under my name and I’ll settle the payment
tomorrow instead?” Yuri
asked with a
softer tone at this time.
He did not
know what else to do.
“Sir, please
don’t joke around with us. We do not accept credit payment here!”
When the
manager saw the awkward expression on Yuri’s face, she started being very rude
and impolite to him.
“If you really don’t have enough to pay off this bill, why
don’t you call your parents or borrow some money
from your
friends?”
At this time,
Yuri looked at Xavia and all of her classmates.
All of Xavia’s
classmates looked out of the restaurant at this time, as though they had
already made an
agreement to
do so.
Yuri was very
annoyed at this time. He did not dare to call his father as if his father found
out that he had
spent eleven
thousand dollars on a meal just to prove he was richer than his friend, his
father would
definitely
kill him!
His family
only owned a factory!
“I can offer
you another way out. You could leave one of your classmates here to wait for
you and leave the
restaurant to
find a way to raise the money. Moreover, I see that you have a car parked
outside. You could
leave the car
behind as collateral.”
“No! How could
I possibly leave this car here tonight? This is my father’s car! I have to
drive it home
tonight!” Yuri
said anxiously.
Homeland Kitchen was located on Mayberry Commercial Street
and Yuri cannot afford to offend anyone here.
He was already
at a dead end.
“Shh…”
Gerald’s
classmates began whispering among themselves at this time. It turned out that
the car actually
belonged to
Yuri’s father.
Xavia also felt
very embarrassed.
The manager
spoke up and said, “Well, it looks like you can only leave someone here to wait
for you while you
raise the
money then.”
“Hello? Hello?
Okay, Dad I am going home now. Wait for me!” As soon as he finished this
sentence, Danny rushed
out of the
restaurant to answer a phone call.
These were not
his classmates.
Therefore, in
the end, Yuri could only look at Xavia as he said, “Manager, may I leave my
girlfriend here to
