Chapter 426: Chapter 425, Xu Wendong Gets Fleeced While Eating

Xu Wendong spoke with a relaxed tone, laughing: ”Where are you? I’ll come find you!”

Xu Fan: ”I’m at the KFC next to People’s Square.”

”Alright, see you later.”

Half an hour later.

Xu Wendong arrived at the KFC near the People’s Square, where Xu Fan was sitting alone, staring into space with a cup of iced cola in front of her.

She wore a watermelon-red trench coat, and her straight, glossy hair hung loosely down her back. She hadn’t put on any makeup, yet there was an effortless beauty about her.

”What brings you to Lianyun County all of a sudden? I can’t think of anything big I’ve done!” Xu Wendong said cheerfully as he sat across from Xu Fan.

Pfft!

Xu Fan burst out laughing.

Thinking back to how she met Xu Wendong, it was indeed quite dramatic.

Even in the subsequent meetings, many coincidences occurred.

Every time she went out for a field interview, she would encounter Xu Wendong.

”Here!”

Xu Wendong took out a Youth Preserving Pill.

Although nothing like that had happened between him and Xu Fan, she held a very important place in his heart.

He had thought of saving one for her when he was making the Youth Preserving Pills.

Xu Fan curiously took it in her hand and sniffed it: ”What is this?”

”It’s an elixir that can keep a woman eternally youthful. Once consumed, even when you reach seventy or eighty, your appearance will be frozen in time,” Xu Wendong explained while grabbing the cola in front of her and taking a sip.

He couldn’t help it; he had run back from the True Dragon Zen Court and was now thirsty and hungry.

Xu Fan was shocked: ”Is it really that magical?”

Xu Wendong looked at her plaintively: ”Are you questioning my medical skills?”

”Not at all, it just sounds unbelievable.” Xu Fan smiled as she placed the elixir in her mouth and began to chew gently. The texture was soft, and a pleasant aroma filled her mouth.

”By the way, you aren’t planning to treat me to KFC again, are you?” Xu Wendong asked.

Xu Fan: ”I’m not familiar with Lianyun, so how about you take me somewhere nice to eat?”

Xu Wendong put down the empty cola cup and got up: ”Let’s go! I’ll take you somewhere to eat something tasty.”

”How cheeky!” Xu Fan gave him a playful glare but still stood up. As they exited the KFC, she reached out and held onto Xu Wendong’s arm.

And she clung tightly, fearing he might slip away unnoticed.

Xu Wendong sensed the change in Xu Fan’s mood but didn’t ask much, as he didn’t want to ruin the happiness of their reunion.

Later, he drove Xu Fan’s car and brought her to a restaurant called the Dongshan Seafood Restaurant; it was his first time there.

But he had heard it was one of the top seafood restaurants in Lianyun County, known for its elegant environment and abundant selection of fresh seafood.

Gazing at the rare seafood in the tanks, Xu Fan couldn’t help but say: ”The seafood here is too pricey. How about we find another place to eat?”

”You’re here; I must treat you well.” Xu Wendong wasn’t short on cash and immediately ordered a variety of fresh seafood like Matsuba crab, Australian lobster, black abalone, East Star garoupa...

He even ordered a bottle of Wuliangye.

While waiting for the dishes.

Xu Fan laughed and said: ”I heard that the Xingsheng Group is investing billions to build a large multinational port in Lianyun County?”

”And also that the Qian Family of Shaanxi Province is moving into Lianyun County?”

Xu Wendong sighed: ”As expected from someone in the media industry, your intelligence is spot-on!”

Xu Fan had a knowing smile on her face: ”Not only is my information accurate, but I also know all of this is because of you!”

She knew Xu Wendong well, especially since wherever he went, the place experienced drastic changes, whether it was in Qingshan Village or Lianyun County.

Seeing the dishes being served, Xu Wendong said: ”Come on, enough about that. Let’s see if you like the food here.” He picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of fish belly on Xu Fan’s plate.

The two ate the fresh seafood and drank, creating a warm atmosphere.

After they were full and satisfied.

Xu Wendong took Xu Fan downstairs.

”Hello, your total comes to 45,885.”

Xu Wendong was taken aback when he heard this price, and then he asked: ”Wait, we only ordered six dishes and a bottle of Wuliangye. How could it be over 45,000? Did you miscalculate?”

He had estimated earlier that six seafood dishes plus a bottle of Wuliangye would only cost a few thousand but had never dreamed it would be this much.

”Sir, we don’t make billing errors. If you’re not sure, you can check the bill!” The cashier handed the bill to Xu Wendong.

After reading it, Xu Wendong laughed in disbelief: ”Turns out the prices for the seafood in your tanks are by the hundred grams, not by individual pieces, right? Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!”

He had eaten seafood several times in Lianyun County, and without exception, the prices at those seafood restaurants were either by piece or by the pound.

But it was his first encounter with pricing by the hundred grams.

This was blatantly a crooked establishment!

The cashier smiled: ”We’ve always had clear and correct pricing. Plus, you accidentally broke one of our wine glasses earlier, and it’s part of a custom set – breaking one requires replacing the whole set, which costs 8,000!”

Xu Fan spoke coldly: ”You’re blatantly extorting people!”

”It’s only a few tens of thousands, not worth fretting over!” Xu Wendong waved his hand, not wanting to ruin the mood over this and immediately took out his phone to pay the 45,885.

After scanning, Xu Wendong casually said: ”Alright, give me a receipt!”

Naturally, Xu Wendong wouldn’t take such a big loss.

Even though he had billions.

His money wasn’t just blown in by the wind.

But he didn’t want to argue with the people at the seafood restaurant.

The cashier apologetically said: ”I’m sorry, sir, our store’s receipt machine is broken. Could I write you a note, and you can pick up the receipt once it’s fixed?”

”Fine, I’ll get it next time when I come to eat.” Xu Wendong didn’t argue with the cashier, allowed them to write a note, and left the seafood restaurant with the list of dishes they had ordered.

”This doesn’t seem like you at all!”

Xu Fan frowned, a bit dissatisfied with Xu Wendong being willing to be ripped off, because in her mind, Xu Wendong was a person who gave no quarter to evil and dared to stand up for what’s right.

But today’s behavior seemed unfamiliar to her.

Xu Wendong grasped her slightly cold hand, softly saying: ”More than money, I don’t want external factors to ruin the atmosphere between us.”

Xu Fan’s face turned red, and she couldn’t help but ask: ”Where to now?”

Xu Wendong’s lips curled slightly: ”How about we find a place to stay?”
