Hearing this, Li Yan and the others fell silent.
Song Xiaoxiao really couldnРІР‚в„ўt take it anymore and retorted playfully, "Do you guys have any brains? YouРІР‚в„ўre just parasites relying on your parents. Without them, youРІР‚в„ўd be worse off than Ye Chen, yet you have the nerve to say these things here."
Zhan Hua seriously studied Song Xiaoxiao now; this girl was really striking and exactly his type.
He had already noticed this girl when he came in earlier.
The girlРІР‚в„ўs daringness in front of this bunch of men piqued his interest further.
"Who is this young lady?" Zhan Hua asked with a smile.
Song Xiaoxiao didnРІР‚в„ўt even acknowledge him, though her petite face was visibly upset.
She felt this group was really shameless, all they could do was brag and nothing else.
Not getting a response from Song Xiaoxiao, Zhan Hua felt somewhat awkward.
"Robin, this is Song Xiaoxiao, Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs girlfriend," Li Yan purposely said.
He knew Zhan Hua well and could tell he had an eye on Song Xiaoxiao.
As Song Xiaoxiao didnРІР‚в„ўt like Li Yan anyway, he might as well let Zhan Hua deal with her.
This way it saves him the trouble, and moreover, Li Yan had already perceived that Zhan Hua seemed to be defending Ye Chen on the surface, but actually, there was a conflict between them.
Perfect for using one to beat the other.
"Miss Song, nice to meet a beautiful lady like you,"
Zhan Hua stepped down from his seat, came up to Song Xiaoxiao, and extended his right hand.
But Song Xiaoxiao continued sitting there, showing no intention of getting up.
This made Zhan Hua even more embarrassed, and he even started to resent Ye Chen in his heart.
Zhan Hua thought, why should someone as rich as him be disregarded by beauties, while Ye Chen, just a poor delivery guy, has girls hovering around him.
Is it because Ye Chen is just a bit handsome? Are all the women in the world part of the "appearance association"?
"Miss Song, IРІР‚в„ўm not mocking Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs job. I think someone like him who doesnРІР‚в„ўt rely on parents but strives hard to earn money is really respectable. But youРІР‚в„ўre a girl, when choosing a boyfriend, you should go for someone wealthy, rather than just looking at appearance, wouldnРІР‚в„ўt you agree?"
Zhan Hua said with a smile.
He wanted Song Xiaoxiao to face reality, to realize that only a man as excellent as him deserves a beauty.
"I think Ye Chen is quite good. Mr. Zhan, no need to worry about our affairs," Song Xiaoxiao replied, smiling.
"Miss Song, I meant no harm, just a friendly reminder. Girls in love often look at menРІР‚в„ўs looks, but as time goes by, youРІР‚в„ўll find this man canРІР‚в„ўt meet your material needs, and gradually the affection between you will fade, eventually leading to a breakup, donРІР‚в„ўt you think so?"
"Mr. Zhan, I donРІР‚в„ўt care whether Ye Chen has wealth, as long as he loves me enough. Plus, I donРІР‚в„ўt like material stuff, only conceited girls desire those things."
Song XiaoxiaoРІР‚в„ўs rebuttals were always so powerful, leaving Zhan Hua speechless.
He could only sheepishly return to his seat.
People who were chatting with Ye Chen earlier stopped once they heard Ye Chen was a delivery guy, no longer paying attention to him.
Ye Chen was indifferent to this; he didnРІР‚в„ўt like these people anyway. They were just a bunch of rich second-generation, without any real skills, only good at bragging.
Ye Chen despised them the most.
He agreed to come for dinner simply to deter Li Yan from harassing Song Xiaoxiao.
After all, he couldnРІР‚в„ўt be with Song Xiaoxiao all the time, and the thought of his girlfriend always being bothered by the pretentious Li Yan made Ye Chen very uncomfortable.
He already had a plan.
"Ye Chen, when the wine and steak arrive, you have to savor them well, cherish the opportunity, or no one will invite you to eat such expensive food again," Zhan Hua said teasingly.
Originally, he thought Ye Chen would definitely get up and leave with his girlfriend; instead, Ye Chen calmly agreed, "Alright, thanks for the reminder."
This made Zhan Hua even angrier.
He stopped paying attention to Ye Chen and chatted with Li Yan instead.
Seeing Ye Chen indifferent to Zhan HuaРІР‚в„ўs taunts made Li Yan furious as well.
Just then, the restaurant manager came in and said, "Mr. Ye, here’s your leftover Romanée-Conti from last time, and a Boston lobster from our restaurant. Enjoy."
He then looked at Li Yan disdainfully and said, "Mr. Li, your wine will be a while."
Afterward, the restaurant manager turned and left, leaving Zhan Hua and the others in shock.
At this moment, their mouths were wide enough to fit an egg.
RomanГ©e-Conti is a top-tier wine worldwide, outclassing Lafite by miles, and a bottle easily costs tens of thousands.
Ye Chen said he hadnРІР‚в„ўt been here before, so why was the restaurant manager so familiar with him?
It seemed like Ye Chen was just a regular customer.
Zhan Hua and Li Yan thought that the restaurant manager didnРІР‚в„ўt know them at all.
And to offer a world-class wine so readily was truly lavish; everyone present couldnРІР‚в„ўt compare.
Though their families had money, they wouldnРІР‚в„ўt splurge on such expensive wine for others.
"Wow, did I hear that right? RomanГ©e-Conti, this wine is insanely expensive."
"IРІР‚в„ўve dreamed of tasting it before, saw my dad drink it, but heРІР‚в„ўs a cheapskate, wonРІР‚в„ўt give me any."
"Finally, I get a chance."
Zhan Hua and Li Yan took the bottle, inspected it repeatedly, confirmed it was indeed RomanГ©e-Conti, and fell silent.
Someone willing to serve wine worth tens of thousands isnРІР‚в„ўt an ordinary person; even they couldnРІР‚в„ўt come close.
In front of such a person, they had nothing left to say.
Ye Chen was puzzled; he hadnРІР‚в„ўt arranged this, curious about where the wine came from.
It seemed someone was secretly helping him; it was nice to get a bottle worth tens of thousands for free without spending a penny.
Zhan Hua and Li YanРІР‚в„ўs expressions were extremely displeased.
They originally thought Ye Chen was just a delivery guy and wanted to taunt him.
But unexpectedly, Ye Chen remained unfazed, making them feel like clowns, which was truly embarrassing.
Boasting in front of a pro was akin to finding trouble.
"Brother Ye, youРІР‚в„ўre really something, totally inconspicuous. YouРІР‚в„ўve fooled us all."
"Indeed, I always knew Ye Chen had talent, definitely bound for greatness."
Zhan Hua and Li Yan chimed in, praising Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didnРІР‚в„ўt say a word, grabbed the wine, and left with Song Xiaoxiao amid everyoneРІР‚в„ўs stunned gaze.
