"He's Jiang Chen?"

The Wang family members suddenly perked up, one after another sizing him up with slanted eyes, their expressions contemptuous.

A Wang family member asked, "Yan Ni, isn't he that son-in-law who got dumped by the Li family?"

Wang Dongyang had been waiting for this opportunity to vent. He quickly interjected, "That's right, it's him. Now dumped by the Li family, he's turned up at our doorstep to be a live-in son-in-law. It's only thanks to my aunt and my father-in-law's kindness that they took him in."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. He certainly has a thick face."

The Wang family members chorused their tsk, tsk, tsk.

Wang Dongyang's mother turned to Zhou Ru, "I have to say, my in-law, you really are kind-hearted. You even took in such trash?"

Zhou Ru was very cooperative, heaving a sigh, "Alas, what can one do? He deceived our Jing Yi and now shamelessly clings to our family. We can't exactly kick him out, so it has come to this."

Wang Dongyang's mother felt deep sympathy, "My in-law, you've suffered."

Zhou Ru replied, "Haven't I just?"

Wang Dongyang's mother then turned to Jiang Chen, narrowing her eyes, "Let me tell you, young man. It's not that I want to criticize you. Look around, as a son-in-law, our Dongyang is so much better. He owns a company, supports his wife, and even bought her such a nice luxury car. A son-in-law like this is hard to come by.

And then there's you. Are you addicted to being a live-in son-in-law, not satisfied with freeloading off one family, and now a second?

Alas, a waste like you should just hurry up and divorce Jing Yi, lest you harm her further and become a burden on our Dongyang,"

The other Wang family members nodded in agreement, discussing loudly without restraint:

"Exactly, this guy is just trash."

"He's like the fighter jet among douchebags, the cream of the crap."

"If I were him, I would have knocked myself dead a long time ago!"

Listening to these unrestrained taunts, Ye Jingyi's face turned extremely ugly, feeling like she could no longer show her face in public.

Yet Zhou Ru and Ye Jianxiong merely smiled, too pleased to intervene. Where would they stop the Wang family from mocking Jiang Chen?

Meanwhile, Wang Dongyang and Ye Yanni exchanged glances, feeling as if they had finally vented the anger of the day.

Man, joy brings out the spirit!

Immediately, Wang Dongyang called over to the servers at the side, "Come on, bring out the best dishes and the most expensive wine you have. We're going to eat and drink merrily today."

The server was taken aback after hearing this, "Sir, do you really want the best dishes and the most expensive wine?"

Wang Dongyang glared, "Are you deaf? The best dishes, the most expensive wine... Bring it!"

"Right away."

The server took his leave.

"Well done, Dongyang, we're all basking in your glory today."

Everyone at the dining table was in high spirits.

Jiang Chen just quietly watched Wang Dongyang and suddenly thought this guy had real potential to be an idiot.

Soon, the food and drinks were served.

The best dishes and the most expensive wine indeed tasted wonderful.

Everyone was happily eating and excitedly drinking.

When the meal was nearly finished, a drunken Wang Dongyang waved his hand, "Check, please."

"Sir, here's the bill," the server presented the check.

"No need to look, just charge to the card."

Wang Dongyang pulled out a bank card, waving it grandly once again, raising his voice intentionally for Jiang Chen to hear. He wanted to show off big time in front of Jiang Chen today, completely overshadowing him.

"Wow, a Wanguo Bank platinum card."

On seeing this bank card, the surrounding people exclaimed once again.

Wanguo Bank's VIP cards have always been a symbol of status. A gold card signifies a million in assets, a platinum card, five million, a Purple Gold Card, ten million, and above the Purple Gold Card there's the Black Gold Card, which requires assets worth hundreds of millions and is beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

Consequently, everyone was a little shook by Wang Dongyang's platinum card.

The server respectfully took the card, picked up the POS machine, swiped the card, and then his face changed.

"Sir, your card doesn't have sufficient funds."

"What?!" Wang Dongyang was taken aback, "I have four million in my card, just for a meal, how could it possibly be insufficient?"

"Four million?" The waiter rolled his eyes, with a touch of scorn in his look, "Your meal cost ten million, of course that's not enough."

"What! Ten! Million!"

Wang Dongyang's eyes bulged out, and he almost spat on the waiter's face.

Wiping his face disdainfully, the waiter said, "Yes, ten million."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Wang Dongyang, now desperate, cursed loudly, "Did we freaking eat gold? How can a meal cost ten million?"

The others panicked as well, especially Wang Dongyang's mother, who was up in arms, "This is a scam; we're going to report you to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce."

"Who says this is a scam?"

Just then, as the door pushed open, a manager-like person came in, asking coldly.

"I said it!" Wang Dongyang puffed out his chest, pointing at the man's nose, "You explain to me how I managed to eat ten million."

That manager slapped away Wang Dongyang's hand with a snap and sneered, "Alright, I'll explain it to you."

"Look closely."

The manager pointed to a half-eaten abalone on the table, "This is a top-grade wild abalone from Aoli Country, one costs a hundred and twenty thousand. You had one each, and with over twenty people, that's three million."

What, wild abalone from Aoli Country, one for a hundred and twenty thousand?

Everyone was stunned.

The person from the Wang Family who was left with half an abalone was even more dumbfounded, looking at the half remaining on their plate, almost in tears. Did they really leave sixty thousand on the table?

The manager went on:

"This is a 5-pound wild yellow croaker, fifty thousand a piece, you've eaten three, that's a hundred and fifty thousand.

And these lobsters, four-pound Scottish blue lobster royals, hundred and twenty thousand each, you seemed to enjoy them quite a lot, ordering four, that's four hundred and eighty thousand..."

...

Listening to the boss pointing at dishes on the table and talking, Wang Dongyang's face turned green.

In the end, the manager pointed at the red wine on the table, "This is '82 Lafite, hundred and fifty thousand a bottle, almost a bottle per person, that's another three million. You tell me, doesn't that make ten million?"

Wang Dongyang's eyes rounded in shock.

Damn, we're drinking '82 Lafite and I didn't know?

He picked up the wine bottle to look, and was dumbstruck.

It indeed was '82 Lafite!

Looking at Wang Dongyang's foolish expression, the manager sneered, "So, our calculations aren't wrong, are they?"

No one else dared to speak up, the manager had laid out the facts straight, with the table full of evidence for the ten million, they had nothing to say.

But Wang Dongyang couldn't accept this; his entire fortune wasn't even ten million. Spending that on a meal, they might as well have just killed him.

So Wang Dongyang started shouting, "You're cheating! How can your hotel possibly have so many top-notch items? It's impossible, this is a scam, you're trying to cheat us out of our money, I'm going to sue you!"

"Right, you're all frauds."

"We're going to sue you."

People from the Wang Family also started making a ruckus.

Upon hearing this, the manager also became annoyed, "What's this? You're questioning our hotel's credibility and capability?"

Without another word, the manager turned and shouted at the waiter, "Go, call the boss, tell him there's someone trying to run out on the bill and daring to question us."

"Yes."

The waiter smirked and turned to leave.

Jiang Chen chuckled at the scene, shaking his head. This was a classic case of trying to show off only to end up looking like a fool. Besides, he'd been aware of the hotel's capabilities from the start, so he didn't doubt them.

Then, he patted the hand of the flustered Ye Jingyi, stood up, and said, "Let's stop arguing, swipe my card instead."
