Chapter 505 — This Meal Is Not for Nothing

The group made their way through the VIP-exclusive passage to the elevator landing on the top floor. On this floor, each elevator landing was separate and self-contained, a design meant to convey prestige. The moment they stepped through the door, a male and a female attendant bowed respectfully to them. Both were strikingly handsome and pretty, like a pair of golden children and jade maidens, in no way inferior to film stars—which gave Wu Chengtian quite a start.
If the attendants at the door were already like this, then surely things inside were even more upscale? He wondered whether he had brought enough money; though surely it would be about right? Wu Chengtian had over a hundred thousand in his bank card. Though he was the most outstanding of the Wu family's younger generation, the Wu family was in fact not wealthy, so his allowance was naturally kept under control.
"Brother Chengtian, look at this corridor—all gold and glittering. Are we really going in?" Xiao Wangba's heart was pounding too. The last thing he wanted was for Wu Chengtian to run out of money and stick him with the bill.
"Why all the nonsense? We're already here!" Wu Chengtian frowned. Though he was nervous inside, he refused to show weakness. "I said I'm treating, so why are you making such a fuss? Are you looking down on me, Wu Chengtian?"
"No, that's not it..." Xiao Wangba said, suddenly embarrassed.
"Brother Chengtian, Brother Wangba isn't looking down on you—he means well. He's afraid you don't have enough money!" Feng Xiaoxiao cut in abruptly. "He's being kind!"
Wu Chengtian was instantly annoyed. What kind of way was that for Feng Xiaoxiao to talk? What did she mean, afraid he didn't have enough money? But when he turned his head, he saw Feng Xiaoxiao looking at him with an utterly innocent expression, without the slightest trace of scorn or mockery on her face, and he was thrown into confusion. Could it be that Feng Xiaoxiao was not mocking him after all, but simply explaining what Xiao Wangba meant?
"I know he means well, but I, Wu Chengtian, am the first heir of the Wu family—how could I be short of money? What a joke!" Wu Chengtian could only offer this sullen explanation, quite devoid of temper.
Wei Zhao gave Feng Xiaoxiao an odd look, somewhat amused. He hadn't expected her to be so good at playing the fool.
"Exactly, how could Brother Chengtian be short of money? It's just that I've never seen the world, and I judged Brother Chengtian by my own narrow worldview!" Xiao Wangba knew his good intentions had backfired, and hurried to explain. "I really am a frog at the bottom of a well!"
"Then that's the end of that." Hearing Xiao Wangba put it this way, Wu Chengtian felt quite gratified and waved a magnanimous hand. "It's only natural that you've never been to the top floor! Truth is, I've only been up here once myself, with my grandfather. It is expensive, but the price is justified! You get what you pay for!"
"Brother Chengtian, you really know so much! Ah, it's just that I already have a boyfriend—otherwise, I'd have fallen for you!" Feng Xiaoxiao said with an air of admiration after hearing Wu Chengtian's words.
"Pfft." Wei Zhao nearly burst out laughing, but fortunately his self-control was strong; his expression only flickered strangely for a moment before returning to normal.
As for Wu Chengtian, hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words sent him floating up into the clouds, quite beside himself. Though Feng Xiaoxiao was not someone he could touch, being praised by her made him very happy all the same; to win the approval of a beauty was a marvelous thing.
"Your boyfriend's not bad either!" Wu Chengtian said with a smile. "Still, outstanding men always have a wandering eye. You should pay attention and keep a close watch on him!"
