Chapter 7570
The Inside Story
Xiao Chen specially brought Zhou Keying to the top of Chaotianque today to hold a celebration party just for her, just so she could relax and have some fun.
He never expected to run into such a showy, ill-mannered woman who publicly humiliated him and upset Zhou Keying.
Seeing Zhou Keying's indifferent reaction, Yang Yumei assumed she had been rendered speechless by her words, and became even more smug, continuing her eloquent boasting:
"By the way, Keying, my husband is an Earl Card member here. He can enjoy exclusive customized services and even book the most luxurious private rooms."
I guess Xiao Chen can only book a regular seat at most?
"How about I ask my husband to upgrade your service later so you can try the chef's special dishes and see what truly high-end service is like?"
As she spoke, she deliberately gave off an expression that said, "I'm helping you out of kindness, you should be grateful to me," her sense of superiority almost overflowing.
Zhou Keying was about to politely decline...
She knew Xiao Chen's plan and didn't need Yang Yumei's feigned kindness, but Xiao Chen smiled faintly first, speaking calmly, his voice not loud, yet carrying an undeniable aura:
"No need, the table I booked is fine, so I won't trouble Mr. Liu."
He knew perfectly well that he had booked the exclusive "Top Heaven Palace" suite on the top floor of the hotel.
That was the most upscale and private spot in the entire restaurant, a surprise prepared specifically for Zhou Keying's victory celebration tonight.
Moreover, the entire Chaotianque Hotel is his property. How dare a mere Earl Card member show off in front of him? He is simply ignorant of his own limitations.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yumei's smile faded slightly, and she spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, her tone full of sarcasm:
"Ke Ying, look at your husband! He's really ungrateful!"
"I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you usually have much influence at home? He won't even listen to you on something this small?"
As she spoke, she deliberately tightened her grip on Liu Dafu's arm, rested her head affectionately on his shoulder, and said with a sweet, coquettish smile:
"Besides, Xiao Chen's temperament is really not suitable for such a high-end place; he exudes a rustic air about him."
In the future, he can learn more about etiquette from my husband, Dafu. After all, my husband has attended royal banquets abroad and has seen grand occasions!
Liu Dafu, flattered by Yang Yumei's praise, became even more arrogant. He glanced down at Xiao Chen, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips, and said sarcastically:
“Honey, don’t make things difficult for them. Some people only get to attend such high-class occasions once in their lives. Their inherent unsophistication means they can’t learn etiquette. No matter how much they try, they’ll never become upper class.”
Yang Yumei immediately nodded, sighed with feigned regret, and looked at Zhou Keying, her tone full of insincere "concern," but every word was actually an insult:
"Honestly, Keying, you were once the school beauty, beautiful and talented. How did you end up choosing such a person?"
I really feel sorry for you. You should break up with him as soon as possible. What future can you have with him? He'll only drag you down and make you a laughingstock!
Yang Yumei spoke without restraint, her tone harsh and uncaring, completely disregarding Zhou Keying's feelings. Every word she uttered was meant to humiliate Xiao Chen and belittle Zhou Keying, as if she herself were superior. Zhou Keying could no longer hold back; the smile vanished from her face, her expression turned cold, her eyes filled with anger, and she said in an icy tone:
"Yang Yumei, watch your mouth! I like my boyfriend, that's all that matters, it's none of your business to tell me what to do and criticize!"
Yang Yumei covered her mouth and laughed, her laughter so loud it shook her whole body, her tone becoming increasingly sarcastic:
"Oh, did I hit the nail on the head? Are you getting angry?"
I looked down on you back in school. If your family hadn't been rich those years and used money to bribe your way in, would you have gotten the chance to be the school beauty?
"Now that your family isn't as well-off as before, and you're unhappy with your life, you've found a gigolo, and you can't even say anything about it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen felt a surge of intense displeasure. The calm in his eyes was completely shattered, and a cold glint flashed across his face.
This Yang Yumei is really pushing her luck!
Back in school, she was never a well-behaved person. Relying on her family's small amount of money, she idled away her days, changing boyfriends like changing clothes. Now that she's hooked up with a nouveau riche, she really thinks she's someone important.
What's even more infuriating is that she not only publicly humiliated him, but also dared to slander Zhou Keying and trample on Zhou Keying's dignity... Zhou Keying is his friend, and he will never allow anyone to bully her like this!
I really don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!
Today, he doesn't mind teaching this snob couple a lesson, letting them know what to say and who not to mess with!
Xiao Chen's coldness faded, his face remained expressionless, and he calmly took out his phone.
With a swift swipe of his finger, he sent a concise yet authoritative message to the general manager of the Chaotian Palace at the top.
"Send me all the information about Liu Dafu and Liu Yumei within five minutes, word for word."
After sending the message, he put away his phone and remained standing there calmly, as if he had just sent an insignificant message.
Seeing Xiao Chen looking down at his phone, Liu Yumei assumed he was speechless after her words and could only hide away to play on his phone to hide his embarrassment. Her smugness grew even stronger, and her tone became increasingly sarcastic and mocking.
"Look at your husband, what a spineless coward! I've already said all this, and he doesn't even dare to say a word in rebuttal. It's hilarious! Keying, your life is ruined because of him!"
As she spoke, she took Liu Dafu's arm, deliberately adopting a superior attitude, waiting to see Xiao Chen make a fool of himself, and also waiting for Zhou Keying to show an embarrassed expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen's phone vibrated and the screen lit up, displaying the documents sent by the general manager.
He glanced down at the message, swiped his fingertips across it quickly, and then looked up, his gaze falling on Liu Yumei and Liu Dafu.
A cold, amused smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips, and he said in a relaxed tone, "What a coincidence, I just happened to see something interesting, would you like to hear it?"
Liu Yumei's heart skipped a beat, a strange unease rising within her, but she remained defiant, frowning and speaking impatiently:
"What are you talking about? You're just trying to stall for time and don't dare to confront me directly!"
Xiao Chen slowly raised his eyes, his gaze landing on Liu Yumei. His tone was calm, yet every word was clear, each sentence like a sharp knife, piercing straight to Liu Yumei's vitals:
"Liu Yumei, female, 27 years old, unemployed, lives entirely dependent on men."
"During my freshman year, I dated a guy named Zhang Meng from the Physical Education Department for three months."
During that time, I booked rooms at hotels near the school no less than forty times, and I have detailed records of the times and room numbers. (End of Chapter)
