Is the family all together again?

Zhang Yuanyuan, who had been ladylike, dignified, and extremely confident, was stunned after hearing the figure of 500,000.

She knew that dining at this place was expensive and that it would certainly cost quite a bit.

She had even brought all her money with her.

But she hadn't expected it to be this expensive!

If it were in the past, when Zhou Cheng was around, she wouldn't have had to worry about these things at all.

Because no matter how expensive it was, Zhou Cheng would be there to pay for it.

And she only needed to shop, shop, and shop.

Now, although Zhou Cheng was still there, he was no longer like he used to be.

A mere 500,000 was enough to make her feel embarrassed.

She listened to Zhou Cheng's words and looked at him, the melancholy in her eyes welling up again.

There was even a hint of bitterness in it.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Just pay the bill and be done with it," Zhang Shuai said from the side, dissatisfied.

Zhang Yuanyuan's surprise, dullness, and hesitation made him lose a lot of Face in front of his classmates and friends, especially in front of Shu Mei.

Just a moment ago while eating, he had been bragging to his friends about how his sister had tamed a Second Young Master like Zhou Cheng!

He bragged that as long as his sister frowned, Zhou Cheng wouldn't even dare to speak loudly.

But what about reality?

Zhou Cheng had come, but he wasn't here to help him pay the bill; he was here to catch him.

Zhang Yuanyuan had come, but Zhou Cheng still wouldn't give her any Face, and it seemed Zhang Yuanyuan herself couldn't even come up with the 500,000!

"Apologies, this card shows insufficient funds," the waiter said after swiping Zhang Yuanyuan's card and looking up.

Although the waiter had received good training and shouldn't have any discriminatory look in their eyes toward customers.

Still, in her heart, she couldn't help but despise Zhang Yuanyuan.

Saying that money can't buy love, but what about the facts? A single meal of 500,000 was enough to break your family's fortune.

If she could be favored by the Second Young Master, let alone breaking up, she would be willing to be scolded every day.

Manager Wu heard this, took the bank card from the waiter, handed it back to Zhang Yuanyuan, and kept glancing at Zhou Cheng from time to time.

Trying to see Zhou Cheng's intentions clearly.

The manager couldn't figure out at this moment whether Zhou Cheng wanted to coerce Zhang Yuanyuan into submission or if it was another situation.

"Sister, what's going on? Didn't you say you mortgaged the maserati? And Zhou Cheng gave you a whole bunch of designer bags and jewelry before, how can you not even come up with 500,000?"

After hearing the waiter say there were insufficient funds, Zhang Shuai immediately became anxious.

He hadn't expected Zhang Yuanyuan to have no money.

Actually, not only did he not expect it, but Zhou Cheng hadn't expected it either.

After all, Zhou Cheng knew that his Previous Self had given her quite a few gifts!

"I'm currently starting a business, and all the money has been invested," Zhang Yuanyuan said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng understood.

Then, combining it with his rough knowledge of this short drama from his past life, it seemed that this Zhang Yuanyuan had created a bubble tea brand called Clear Drink Residence!

It seemed that because she had married Zhou Cheng in her past life and created this brand, building it up to become a nationwide hit, she wanted to continue it after her Rebirth.

Zhou Cheng pondered in his mind, then shook his head.

His evaluation was that it wasn't as good as Nezha Immortal Drink!

Just by looking at the name Clear Drink Residence, one wouldn't have any desire to go in and drink bubble tea.

Besides, don't you think about it? The reason you were popular in your past life was because you relied on the Zhou Family's endless pouring of money, relying on the Zhou Family's resources!

Not because of your bubble tea recipes that you thought were so well-crafted!

To put it bluntly, even if you just found someone to shake a few cups of bubble tea, as long as you relied on the Zhou Family's hundreds of millions of dollars being poured in regardless of cost, you could open branches all over the country!

"No money to pay?"

"Since that's the case, then let's all go to the Police Station. According to the laws of the Xia Kingdom, if a perpetrator knows they lack the ability to pay when ordering, or orders by deceiving the establishment, and the amount exceeds 3,000, they can be prosecuted for fraud. If the amount is huge, they will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of three years or more!"

"Although you are still minors, you are over sixteen. You might receive a lighter sentence, but you still need to go to jail!" Zhou Cheng said calmly.

He wasn't exaggerating on purpose; he was just giving a fair reminder according to the law.

As the words fell.

Zhang Shuai and his group were instantly panicked.

Especially Zhang Shuai's friends; they had only come along because Zhang Shuai said he was treating them!

And they certainly had no money to pay!

"Police Officer, this really has nothing to do with me!"

"Zhang Shuai, it was agreed that you were treating, which is why I came. I have no money to pay!"

Hearing this, cold sweat streamed down Zhang Shuai's forehead, and he looked at Zhang Yuanyuan.

"Sister, hurry up and think of a way."

"You really are something, why do you have to throw a tantrum with Zhou Cheng? Why don't you just make up with him? No, wait, why don't you just get engaged and married next month?"

Zhang Shuai's thoughts were erratic as he said this quickly.

When it came to selling out his sister, he appeared very professional.

When Zhang Yuanyuan heard this, after hearing Zhang Shuai say she should get engaged to Zhou Cheng next month.

Her previously muddled brain seemed to suddenly realize the key point! She looked at Zhou Cheng as if having a sudden epiphany!

"So this is your latest trick? Using Zhang Shuai's inability to pay the bill to coerce me, still using your dirty money to oppress me, forcing me to marry you?"

Zhou Cheng: Σ(☉▽☉)???

"Huh? You this, I this, you this... sigh!"

Zhou Cheng froze, feeling somewhat unable to cry or laugh, with unspeakable bitterness.

"Clearly it's your Zhang Shuai who ate without paying, why blame me for coercing you?"

"Clearly the hotel called the police, which is why I came, how did it become my trick?"

Sigh, Zhou Cheng sighed.

Listening to Zhang Yuanyuan's words, Zhao Yier was also confused.

Her little head looked at Zhang Yuanyuan, then looked at Zhou Cheng.

"Is this Big Brother Zhou Cheng's trick?"

"If he used it on me, I would definitely submit."

"No, even if he didn't use it on me, I would still submit."

Zhou Cheng felt Zhao Yier's gaze and turned to look at her.

It was as if he was saying, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Quan and Liu Xi, looking at the current situation, also couldn't tell what was going on.

"Let me tell you, I will never submit!" Zhang Yuanyuan thought of her past life.

In her past life, after she married Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng restricted her contact with Zhang Shuai and his family.

Her father died of illness after getting addicted to drugs, and later, her mother was muddled at work and died in a car accident on the road.

At that time, she was not yet an adult, and it was her uncle, that is, Zhang Shuai's family, who raised her!

So Zhang Shuai's family was her family!

Now that Zhang Shuai couldn't pay, she would find a way.

But at the same time, she would absolutely not marry Zhou Cheng again!

"What forcing you to marry? This lady, the current situation is that this gentleman ate without paying."

"Although you know Big Brother Zhou Cheng, these are two different things, okay!"

Zhao Yier couldn't help but stand up to speak for Zhou Cheng!

Zhou Cheng also stood up! He said coldly!

"I don't have time to argue with you about coercion or not!"

"Since you have no money, come with us to the Police Station first!"

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he was about to step forward and take everyone away!

"Wait! Who said I can't pay! I'll call my parents right now!"

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Zhang Shuai hurriedly spoke up again.

He didn't want to go to the Police Station, and he definitely didn't want to go to jail!

"Zhou Cheng, let me tell you, my sister's parents passed away, and my parents are like her own parents. If my parents come and see you bullying me like this, bullying my sister like this!"

"They definitely won't agree to you continuing to pursue my sister! As long as they come, you'll never be able to marry my sister in this lifetime!"

Zhang Shuai stared at Zhou Cheng and threatened him again!

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng awkwardly rubbed his forehead.

"Hiss!"

"Damn it, the consequences are actually this serious, and on top of that, terrifyingly so!"

"It's truly terrifying!"

"I must eat an extra late-night snack later to calm my nerves!"

"Sigh!"

"The people in this short drama world, why do they all use such trivial nonsense to threaten others!"

"You could even threaten me with the fact that I didn't wipe my butt after using the toilet, and that would be more useful than this!"

"But you want to call your parents over too?"

Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up.

"Is that family all together again?"
