"Su Xuan, you’re famous!" "Su Xuan, I’m your biggest fan!" "Su Xuan, I bow to you!" The classmates present didn’t know how to describe their feelings. They grabbed their wine glasses, left their seats, and swarmed around Su Xuan to offer him toasts. Su Xuan rubbed his forehead and shot a helpless glance at Liu Yiming. Why did you have to watch the news channel? Now I can’t even keep a low profile. Since they were all classmates, Su Xuan found it hard to refuse. Before more than a few dishes had even been served, he had already downed several glasses in a row. "Su Xuan, I can’t believe you’re so skilled and courageous!" "Your driving is incredible, too! How did you get the car to drive on two wheels?" "What exactly do you do for a living?" "When did you buy your hundred-million-yuan supercar?" The classmates crowded around Su Xuan, bombarding him with one question after another. Liu Yiming furtively slipped the BMW car keys he had placed on the table back into his pocket. His car was a BMW 530, which he’d bought for over 500,000 yuan. Compared to Su Xuan’s hundred-million-yuan supercar, it was complete trash. "Su Xuan, please, let me toast you!" "I’ve admired heroes ever since I was a little girl!" Chen Jingjing suddenly tossed aside the Dior bag on her lap, picked up a glass of wine, and squeezed through the crowd. Tilting her head back, she downed the glass in one gulp right in front of Su Xuan. Liu Yiming couldn’t hold her back in time. "See?" Yang Xinxin muttered to herself as she watched the excited classmates. "Now you know how amazing Su Xuan is, right? And this is just the tip of the iceberg!" She felt incredibly fortunate. I’m so lucky I found out Su Xuan’s true background early on. Otherwise, I might have embarrassed myself right along with Liu Yiming tonight! "Su Xuan, as the class monitor, I have to toast you too!" Liu Yiming said, holding up a glass with a defeated look on his face. He toasted Su Xuan, then took the opportunity to pull Chen Jingjing, who was still clinging to Su Xuan’s arm, back to her seat. But even though Chen Jingjing had returned to her seat, her gaze remained fixed on Su Xuan. It’s as if I can see Chen Jingjing holding a bright green hat, one she had prepared just for me! This is heartbreaking! Why did I have to watch the news? Can I turn back time? I want to smash the TV! 「Meanwhile, in the owner’s office at the Grand Emperor Hotel...」 A middle-aged man was also watching the news. He trembled from head to toe, tears streaming down his face. "Brother Su... He saved my wife and daughter! I, Dongfang Hao, owe him two lives!" Yes, this middle-aged man was the one who had misunderstood Su Xuan at Kangnai Hospital. He was Du Yuchen’s ex-husband and the owner of the Grand Emperor Hotel. He had knelt outside Du Yuchen’s hospital room for an entire day, only returning in the evening. The only reason he had agreed to leave was because of what Du Yuchen had said to him. She had told him, "Dongfang Hao, if you still want a life with me and our daughter, you have to promise me two things. In your career, I don’t expect you to catch up to Brother Su Xuan, but you can’t fall too far behind. You must reach a net worth of five billion. As for your personal conduct, I expect you to be faithful and completely cut ties with your past. I’ll give you one year. Now, get out!" Dongfang Hao, who was already worth three billion yuan, immediately scrambled back to the Grand Emperor Hotel, determined to win back his wife and daughter with his actions. As fate would have it, the moment he returned, he happened to run into Su Xuan, who had come to the hotel for a meal. Dongfang Hao had insisted on pulling him aside to chat for a while and express his heartfelt gratitude. When Zhao Ankang had told Liu Yiming that Su Xuan ran into an acquaintance at the hotel, he was referring to Dongfang Hao. No! I have to go toast Brother Su too! Dongfang Hao opened the wine cabinet behind him, pulled out a bottle of fine wine he had treasured for years but never dared to drink, and hurried toward Su Xuan’s private room. It’s just some damn money! Liu Yiming sat listlessly in his chair, watching Su Xuan still being fawned over by their classmates. What are you showing off for? If you’re so great, why don’t you pay the bill tonight! He was filled with regret. He regretted announcing so early that he would be picking up the tab. If he had known Su Xuan was so loaded, he would have just let him pay! Why did he have to play the sucker just to look good? Now Su Xuan was stealing all the limelight! Even Chen Jingjing... Can’t you even look at me? he thought, secretly tapping her on the leg. Chen Jingjing continued to stare at Su Xuan, completely infatuated. Just then, the door to the private room swung open. A lavishly dressed, middle-aged man peeked his head in, glanced at Su Xuan, and asked cautiously, "Brother Su, would it be alright if I offered you a toast?" Liu Yiming was stunned the moment he saw the man. He knew him! It was the owner of the Grand Emperor Hotel, Dongfang Hao! Liu Yiming greatly admired him. Dongfang Hao was a legendary figure who had started from scratch, built a net worth of at least three billion, and now owned the top-tier Grand Emperor Hotel. Content orıginally comes from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥 Why would Dongfang Hao want to toast Su Xuan? And why is he acting so... subservient? "Didn’t we agree to meet another day? Why did you come over?" Su Xuan asked, glancing at Dongfang Hao with a frown. Everyone here was a classmate, and he was worried Dongfang Hao would start with his effusive, heartfelt thanks again and make him look foolish. "I just saw you on TV!" Dongfang Hao explained. "I was so worked up I couldn’t just sit there. I had to come over and offer you a drink! Look, an ’82 Lafite, the real deal. There aren’t many of these left on the market. Every bottle drunk is one less in the world. Let’s, the two of us brothers, enjoy it!" Dongfang Hao walked over to Su Xuan’s side. He didn’t even take a seat, standing there humbly as he uncorked the wine and eagerly filled Su Xuan’s glass. He touched his glass to Su Xuan’s, lowering the rim of his own glass significantly. The sight left Liu Yiming dumbfounded once again. Dongfang Hao is worth three billion! Could Su Xuan possibly be worth even more than him? Liu Yiming couldn’t help but lick his lips. An ’82 Lafite, the stuff of legends. I really want a drink, too! "Oh, it looks like everyone else is out of wine!" Dongfang Hao exclaimed after downing three glasses with Su Xuan. Noticing that Su Xuan’s classmates were low on drinks, he called the waiter over and casually ordered twenty more bottles. When the wine arrived, Liu Yiming was dumbstruck again. He scanned the bottle with his phone—each one cost nearly ten thousand yuan! Twenty bottles would be almost two hundred thousand! Dongfang Hao, oh, Dongfang Hao, and to think I admired you so much! You can’t screw me over ! I’m the one paying tonight! Over two hundred thousand! And that’s on top of the food and drinks we already ordered... I’m going to die! Liu Yiming was on the verge of a complete breakdown. His hands, hidden under the table, trembled uncontrollably. How could Dongfang Hao possibly know he had inadvertently wounded the pride of some minor figure in a BMW? "There don’t seem to be many signature dishes on the table. Let me order a few more for everyone!" he announced cheerfully. "A serving of shark fin for everyone! And an extra portion of bird’s nest for all the ladies! Let’s also get a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, French oysters, Australian lobsters... Everything at the Grand Emperor is absolutely authentic, so please, eat and drink to your heart’s content!" Dongfang Hao rattled off a list of shockingly expensive dishes. Eat and drink to my heart’s content? How am I supposed to relax? Liu Yiming, the man who had proclaimed he would be covering the bill, couldn’t even begin to calculate the final cost. It had to be several hundred thousand at least. He felt his body go limp, and he quickly gripped the edge of the table to keep himself from sliding to the floor. A rip-off joint! The Grand Emperor Hotel is a total rip-off joint! And the owner, Dongfang Hao, is leading the scam!
