It's true that you should call the police if you need to, but why would you ask the police to pay for your meal?

Zhang Shuai was not panicked.

Although the bill totaled five hundred thousand, far exceeding his current ability to pay, he was not alone.

He clearly knew that over the past few years, in order to pursue Zhang Yuanyuan, Zhou Cheng had given her many gifts.

Therefore, Zhang Yuanyuan could definitely afford this five hundred thousand!

Besides, this was the worst-case scenario!

He was confident that once Zhang Yuanyuan arrived, she would only need one Life Qi look to make Zhou Cheng obediently apologize.

He might even promise that Zhang Shuai could eat at this hotel for free in the future!

This was not an exaggeration; he had truly seen it happen!

When the others heard Zhang Shuai's words, they thought it made sense.

His sister had latched onto Second Young Master Zhou; it was impossible that she hadn't saved any money after all these years!

So, as long as Zhang Shuai's sister arrived, the problem would definitely be solved!

"What's going on over there?"

"Why are there police cars outside?"

In the hotel, some guests noticed the police cars outside and called the private room manager over to ask.

"It's like this, a group of young people didn't pay for their meal."

"Please rest assured, our Second Young Master is already handling it. It will be over soon, and it won't delay your dining!"

The managers or waiters of the various private rooms hurriedly explained to the guests!

"Is that so? Your hotel is considered top-tier in Shanghai, so why is there no threshold for guests? Letting some riffraff in really ruins my mood for eating."

A Wealthy Lady rolled her eyes at the private room manager.

"Apologies for disturbing your meal."

After waiting for a while, Zhang Yuanyuan arrived at the hotel. After explaining her purpose at the front desk, she was led by the receptionist to the private room where Zhang Shuai was!

Zhang Shuai had been dazed, and the whole room was silent.

As soon as he saw Zhang Yuanyuan, he hurriedly stood up.

Then, he complained a little.

"Sister! Why are you so slow? Don't you know my friends are all here!"

Hearing Zhang Shuai's complaining words, Zhang Yuanyuan hurriedly spoke up.

"Xiao Shuai, I took a taxi here, the traffic was a bit jammed on the way."

"You took a taxi? What about your maserati?" Zhang Shuai asked doubtfully.

He knew that Zhou Cheng had previously gifted Zhang Yuanyuan a maserati!

He had been incredibly envious at the time, but because he wasn't an adult yet and didn't have a driver's license, otherwise, he would have definitely gotten his hands on a luxury car to drive!

"I pawned it," Zhang Yuanyuan said.

It wasn't just the maserati.

She had pawned all the designer bags and valuable jewelry that Zhou Cheng had gifted her.

Because she was going to use the advantage of her Rebirth, along with this money, to carve out her own world!

In her past life, after marrying Zhou Cheng, she had concocted milk tea and other drinks herself, creating several explosive milk tea flavors.

Later, she built her own Clear Drink Residence milk tea brand!

She opened branches all over the country, building it into a brand comparable to Shanghai Auntie!

Now that she had returned through Rebirth, the first thing she wanted to do was break free from Zhou Cheng's shackles and be with Gu Beifan.

If possible, she would use Zhou Cheng's resources to help Gu Beifan develop.

And the second thing was to rebuild Clear Drink Residence into a top national brand!

She was confident; she had been able to do it in her past life.

She would definitely be able to do it in this life too!

Those few explosive milk tea flavors had all been carefully concocted by her; she possessed that kind of skill!

At this moment, she had invested all her money into it!

She had found Internet Celebritys, various designers, and had created a company!

This was also the reason why she hadn't had the money to help Li Suyuan with the compensation earlier!

"Pawned it? Sigh, forget it, never mind. Sister, come with me."

Zhang Shuai was puzzled and wanted to ask, but thought better of it; business was more important.

So, he led Zhang Yuanyuan toward the private room where Zhou Cheng was!

At this moment, the door to Zhou Cheng's private room opened, and Zhao Yier thoughtfully served Zhou Cheng a bowl of soup.

The intimate gesture made Zhang Quan and Liu Xi incredibly envious.

God was truly too biased!

"Zhou Cheng, my sister is here! Hurry up and apologize to me!"

"Wipe the bill for me!"

Zhang Shuai was reckless, and his tone was full of fire, which was displeasing.

"Oh." Zhou Cheng stood up calmly!

Work had arrived; he would eat later, work was more important!

Seeing Zhou Cheng's calm demeanor, Zhang Shuai frowned.

This wasn't what he had imagined; shouldn't Zhou Cheng be scrambling to make amends right now?

But at this moment, Zhou Cheng didn't even give him a good look.

Zhou Cheng, having stood up, first glanced at Zhang Yuanyuan; she was indeed pretty, not much worse even when compared to Zhao Yier.

It was a pity she was also love-brained!

A love-brained girl led astray by Gu Beifan!

"Manager Wu, didn't you see that the person he was waiting for has arrived?" Zhou Cheng looked at Manager Wu again.

"Second... no, Police Officer Zhou, I have already wiped his bill."

Manager Wu, thinking he was being tactful, had taken the initiative to wipe the bill, believing that such initiative would give his young master a way out.

It would allow his Second Young Master to avoid embarrassment!

Hearing this, Zhang Shuai's mouth curled up slightly.

He was proud in his heart; so, Zhou Cheng, you still gave in.

"What do you mean wiped? You are just a manager, what right do you have to wipe the bill? Or are you saying you have the money to pay for them?"

Zhou Cheng raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit helpless; why was this manager overthinking things on his own!

"Since the person he was waiting for has arrived, let the person he was waiting for pay!" Zhou Cheng said indifferently.

There was not much emotional fluctuation.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Shuai's smug expression instantly turned into confusion.

Then, he hurriedly looked at Zhou Cheng and said: "Zhou Cheng, my sister is already here, are you still trying to make things difficult for me? Still unwilling to wipe the bill?"

Zhou Cheng: ...

"Sir, you invited people to eat, so why do you keep asking the police to help you wipe the bill?"

"Let me say it again, we are the police. It's fine to call the police when you have an issue, but you still have to pay for your own meal!"

Zhao Yier spoke up, displeased.

Seeing Zhang Yuanyuan arrive, she was fired up!

"Shut up, I wasn't talking to you." Zhang Shuai said anxiously.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanyuan stepped forward a few steps.

She looked at Zhou Cheng carefully for a few moments, her eyes showing some melancholy, but then she quickly hid this melancholy.

"Zhou Cheng, although I don't know what happened to you during this time that caused your personality to change so much."

"But regardless of whether you are deliberately pretending to be heartless to get my attention, or if you really want to cut off our relationship."

"I can accept it, and I thank you for your contributions to me before. At the same time, I will convert those gifts you gave me previously into money and return them to you, of course, it will take some time."

"I will tell you that money cannot buy love!"

Zhang Yuanyuan said confidently; she had always been like this in front of Zhou Cheng.

What she had always wanted to do was prove herself through her own efforts and pursue her true love.

Instead of being a slave to Zhou Cheng's money!

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Manager Wu, took out her bank card, and said very confidently.

"Hello, how much is it? I'll just pay it."

The manager, hearing this, knew Zhou Cheng's current attitude.

He hurriedly spoke: "Five hundred thousand. It was originally five hundred and thirty thousand, but since this Police Officer Zhou spoke up, we have waived thirty thousand for you."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yuanyuan's expression was shocked: "How much?!"

She only had fifty thousand in total; how could she possibly afford five hundred thousand!

She knew that eating at this place was expensive, but it shouldn't be that expensive, right!

"Five hundred thousand."

"Xiao Shuai, how did you eat so much in one meal?!"

"Sister, I didn't know the consumption here was so high!"

Zhou Cheng stood to the side, watching the show.

"What? Can't afford it?"

Money indeed cannot buy love, but if you don't have money, you can't even afford to pay for a meal...
