Chapter 1537 - 1535: Pain in the Wallet
After speaking, he sat directly across from the group of women. The smile on Bai Rong’s face never faded. Being able to watch these eight beautiful women eat was such a delightful sight, something you don’t encounter often. This already made him so happy he didn’t know what to do with himself.
Bai Rong’s two lackeys stood behind him at this time, also showing smiles. Never mind Bai Rong, even they, just standing aside and watching these eight superb beauties in front of them, felt a tingling excitement in their hearts. But they didn’t harbor any unrealistic hopes; just being able to look was enough. These women were certainly not people they could engage with, and they were well aware of this.
Seeing Bai Rong looking so pleased, Chu Meng smiled and shook her head, then glanced at the others with a nod, indicating her meaning. Ding Wan’er and the others all nodded in agreement. They actually had long been unable to tolerate Bai Rong. Since he was hell-bent on courting disaster, they might as well let him suffer.
Chu Meng waved her hand, gesturing for the waiter to come over as she wanted to order more items. Upon seeing Chu Meng’s gesture, the waiter immediately brought over the menu and handed it to her.
"Let’s start with two cases of this one."
"Add one of this for each person!"
"Add one of this for each person!"
...
Chu Meng looked at the menu and began ordering the most expensive items on it. In the blink of an eye, she completed the order. The waiter left with the menu, with a very expressive look on his face. Others might not know what was ordered, but of course, he saw it clearly. Conservatively estimated, this meal was surely near a million. Glancing at Bai Rong, he said nothing and left.
At this time, it was as if the eight women didn’t acknowledge Bai Rong’s presence, happily chatting away about clothes, cosmetics, and such. Although Xia Lalan and Moyan didn’t understand, they listened intently, wanting to know how women in the Secular World lived.
Maybe because they ordered so much, the waiter soon came with the dishes, and this time it wasn’t just one but three waiters. Each carried a tray, and each tray contained eight portions, placing one in front of each woman.
Seeing the food arrive, all the women smiled. Xia Lalan and Moyan, unfamiliar with using fork and knife, quickly learned from watching Chu Meng and Ding Wan’er, and joined the chatter while eating, creating a light and relaxed atmosphere.
Bai Rong, seeing how happy the women were eating, was very pleased. Not to mention anything else, just watching the eight beauties eat was a delightful thing. He glanced at his two lackeys behind him and said nonchalantly, "Don’t just stand there. Sit next to me and order something. Today we’re celebrating."
The two lackeys, hearing Bai Rong say this, were overjoyed. They had accompanied Bai Rong here many times before but never had a chance to eat. Now with such a good opportunity, there was no way they’d miss it. But still, they dared not order much, only asking for two set meals, which didn’t cost much, but this alone was enough to be a topic of conversation for them later.
Meanwhile, Bai Rong was sipping red wine and watching these eight exquisite beauties savor delicious dishes, his expression satisfied, deeply captivated by the women. He paid no attention to their eating speed, much less their drinking speed.
In no time, just over ten minutes had passed, and the eight women had finished all the dishes served, and even the wine was gone. It’s worth noting that in the first round of dishes, each woman consumed twenty courses, meaning each course averaged less than half a minute, including serving time. This shows just how exaggerated their speed was.
Bai Rong was momentarily stunned upon seeing the women finish so quickly, not expecting them to eat that fast. He hadn’t had enough of watching yet. But after thinking for a bit, maybe the women were all hungry, and since they’d finished here, they might move to another place to continue. After all, they had agreed to give him another chance.
Thinking of this, Bai Rong was about to get up to pay the bill, but before he could rise, Chu Meng spoke up, "Why so little? We’re not full yet!"
"Yeah!"
"We’re not full yet!"
"Yeah, how can this be!"
...
Ding Wan’er and the others chimed in, indicating that it was just the beginning and they weren’t leaving until Bai Rong couldn’t afford to pay. If he wanted to pursue them, he’d have to pay the price, teaching Bai Rong to fear them in the future.
Actually, all the women now harbored a bit of mischief in their hearts, eager to see Bai Rong’s expression when he couldn’t pay. How dare he flaunt wealth in front of them – it was simply unforgivable. Since he was digging his own grave, they’d make sure he met his end thoroughly.
"Not full yet?"
Bai Rong widened his eyes and exclaimed at Chu Meng and the others, dumbfounded. Even though he had been focused on watching eight beauties eat, he was aware of how much they consumed. Typically, women are quite conscious of their figures, so they wouldn’t eat too much. Moreover, a lot had been served, and they drank two cases of red wine. How could they possibly not be full?
"Yes, aren’t you treating us? Why aren’t we full?" Chu Meng looked at Bai Rong and said with feigned innocence. Anyway, she wasn’t going to let Bai Rong off, planning to torment him thoroughly today.
"No... no, how could that be? Of course, you can’t not be full. Go, call the waiter over." Hearing Chu Meng say this, Bai Rong’s heart trembled. He began estimating the cost of the meal, but in front of eight beauties, he couldn’t possibly say they couldn’t continue eating. He, Bai Rong, couldn’t afford to lose face, so he reluctantly had his two lackeys summon the waiter over.
The waiter hesitated, hearing that the guests wanted to order more. He knew clearly just how much they previously consumed. Those items, let alone eight women, even twenty men might not finish. He wondered how these women managed to eat so much and continue eating.
Yet, no matter how much he wondered, it wasn’t his place to stop the restaurant from making money; otherwise, he wouldn’t have a job. So, he walked back to Chu Meng with a polite smile and said, "Honored Miss, here is the menu, please take a look."
As the waiter handed over the menu, Chu Meng took it, said nothing, and tossed it to Ding Wan’er, gesturing for her to order. Ding Wan’er took the menu and began marking items.
"This, one for each person."
"This, one portion per person."
"This, one for each person."
...
Looking at the menu, Ding Wan’er showed no restraint, ordering freely. The waiter immediately started placing the order, and when finished, Ding Wan’er pointed to a type of red wine on the menu and said, as much as you have, bring it all.
My goodness, who are these women!
While recording the ordered items, the waiter marveled internally, having clearly seen that Ding Wan’er was ordering the restaurant’s most expensive dishes, and the wine she ordered last, was the Jiahua World, priced at a hundred thousand per bottle. Usually, they sold only a bottle or two every couple of months. Yet these women said to bring all they had. Such extravagance, what kind of grudge do these women have with this man to be so ruthless...
But he knew well enough what to say and what not to say, maintaining an appearance of neutrality. After taking back the menu with a smile, he immediately left.
Though the waiter had left, Bai Rong’s face turned sour, as this spending would exceed his estimates. However, the thought of winning the favor of these beauties made it worthwhile. He reckoned that the card in his pocket should be enough to cover the bill, so he feigned happiness without saying a word, just watching the eight beauties, hoping this serving would satisfy them because he truly didn’t know what else to do if not.
In the blink of an eye, the waiter started serving again. The eight women maintained their previous dining pace, chatting while eating, and in just over ten minutes, the dishes were cleaned out once more.
This time, Chu Meng and Ding Wan’er remained silent, and Leng Mei spoke up. Without expressing any intention, she called the waiter over and began ordering, leaving the waiter momentarily stunned yet again. It was already the third time, and the food ordered was enough for dozens of men, yet these women kept ordering, leaving him wondering where all the food was going; it was truly unfathomable!
Suppressing his inner curiosity and surprise, the waiter collected the menu and turned to leave. Bai Rong and his two lackeys were on the verge of losing it, no longer able to articulate seeing these eight beauties. Having consumed so much, already after two rounds, the men wondered if the women were pigs – how else could they eat so much? Even if they ate nonstop, they couldn’t compete with any of the women. What was going on, how could these beauties have such monstrous appetites, this was ridiculous!
Bai Rong’s face had turned pale, having already ordered twice, and with such large amounts each time. Even conservatively estimated, the card in his pocket was unlikely to suffice. It was a Michelin three-star restaurant, and the expenses were beyond what most people could imagine. He found himself trapped, starting to muse about whether he should step out to make a call, asking family to send money.
Yet Bai Rong and his lackeys never imagined this was only just the beginning.
