Chapter 75: The Murderous Red Wine

  Because Xiong Huilin ordered the most expensive six dishes in the Italian restaurant, including South African lobster, Australian stone bass, Japanese top-grade sea cucumber, and a bowl of silver ear swiftlet soup.

  These dishes add up to at least 6,000 yuan.

  Zhong Xiaofei's heart ached, and he was sweating profusely. Six thousand yuan, half a month's salary, gone just like that. If Xiong Huilin hadn't come, the few dishes on He Peini's table would have been enough for 1,000 yuan.

  Zhong Xiaofei gritted her teeth and secretly cursed Sanba, but politely asked on the surface: "Is it enough? If not, I'll add two more!"

  Xiong Huilin wasn't polite at all, and smiled slightly, "Enough, I don't eat much, but since you're so enthusiastic, then I'll just order another bottle of red wine to moisten my throat!"

  As she spoke, she raised her jade-like hand and beckoned to the waiter.

  Zhong Xiaofei was furious and thought to himself, "You eat so little but order so much? And you're still warming up your throat, trying to bankrupt me? You stinky three eight!

  Xiong Huilin wanted a bottle of 20-year-old French red wine, and Zhong Xiaofei was already worried. When she heard this, her eyes immediately sparkled with gold stars, because Xiong Huilin wanted a bottle of imported red wine worth 4,000 yuan! The price of one bottle of wine is almost the same as the cost of a table of dishes!

  Zhong Xiaofei's heart felt bitter, and his face immediately looked a bit unsightly. Although he tried his best to pretend to smile and look relaxed, his eyes had already revealed everything.

  Xiong Huilin glanced at him and stretched out one finger: "Take two bottles, one bottle might not be enough."

  Zhong Xiaofei was about to vomit blood, the food and wine together, the price of this meal had already reached almost 20,000 yuan! Xiong Huilin was too ruthless! This wasn't eating a meal, it was eating Zhong Xiaofei's flesh and drinking his blood! Zhong Xiaofei gripped his chopsticks, constantly cursing in his heart, but still forced a smile on his face.

  Xiong Huilin was also smiling, with a thousand charms and a hundred allurements.

  He Pei Ni stuck out her tongue and looked at Zhong Xiao Fei with sympathy.

  This meal was the most expensive one that Zhong Xiaofei had ever had in his life, with lobster and bird's nest served one after another, but Zhong Xiaofei didn't have any appetite at all, and his heart was only lamenting for the 20,000 yuan.

  Two beauties were eating happily, Xiong Huilin kept serving dishes to He Peini, "Little Pei, eat more, Manager Zhong's treat is not easy to come by. Come on, let's have a drink, this wine is very expensive, you should drink more."

  He Pei Ni whispered: "Sister, I don't drink well..."

  "Don't be polite, drink up, finish it and I'll get you two more bottles. Zhong Xiaofei is now the deputy manager, this small amount of money doesn't matter to him at all, right Zhong Xiaofei?..." Xiong Huilin gave Zhong Xiaofei a smile that was not quite a smile, her eyes gleaming with sarcasm, provocation and a sense of revenge, as if saying: "You called me a foolish woman, now you know the consequences of messing with me?"

  "Is is......" Zhong Xiaofei's smile was insincere, the bitter water in his heart more than the wine on the table. He could only hope that the two beauties wouldn't drink too much, one bottle costing over 4000, he was truly heartbroken.

  "Cheers, Manager Zhong!" He Peini raised her glass. Although she was also one of the seven beauties in TY company's PR department, she had been in the industry for a short time and wasn't good at drinking. After two cups, her face turned red and she became more talkative.

  Zhong Xiaofei bumped into her and advised: "You should drink a little less!"

  "No, I'm happy today," He Pei Ni's eyes sparkled like silk, she raised her pale white left hand, and the bracelet that Zhong Xiao Fei had given her shone out, her small hands moving up and down, shining brightly under the soft light of the restaurant. "Sister, this is a gift from Manager Zhong, don't you think it's beautiful?"

  Beautiful.

  Xiong Huilin's eyes lit up and she grasped He Peini's small hand, looking at it from top to bottom. From her shining eyes, one could sense that her praise was genuine.

  Zhong Xiaofei's eyes were a bit straight because the two big beauties leaned against each other, their beauty reflected in each other, plump and slender, four small hands equally white, equally beautiful.

  Xiong Huilin suddenly rolled her eyes, smiled, and took out a small jewelry box from her brown LV bag, shaking it with satisfaction.

  Zhong Xiaofei recognized it at a glance, and that was the white gold necklace he gave her!

  "Xiao Pei, guess what? I also received a gift today, isn't it beautiful?"

  Xiong Huilin's eyes were on He Peini, but her gaze flickered to Zhong Xiaofei for a moment.

  Zhong Xiaofei didn't know what Xiong Huilan was thinking. She had kindly given her the necklace, and she should be grateful! After all, this necklace originally belonged to He Peini.

  Unable to guess what Hui Lin meant, Zhong Xiao Fei could only lower his head and eat, this meal was a month's salary, he couldn't waste it no matter what.

  "What's the gift? Quick, let me see!" He Pei Ni was extremely curious.

  Xiong Huilin glanced at Zhong Xiaofei with the corner of her eye, then opened the jewelry box with a complacent smile, taking out that exquisite and dazzling white gold necklace. Her jade-like hands were snowy white, and the necklace hung on her hand as if it was hanging on her slender neck.

  "Wow! So beautiful!" He Pei Ni immediately exclaimed. Her voice was a bit exaggerated, her eyes staring at the white gold necklace in Xiong Hui Lin's hand: "Sister, who gave it to you? Must be your brother-in-law, right?"

  "No, not your sister-in-law." Xiong Huilin was very pleased, and she glanced at Zhong Xiaofei with a hint of shyness. A blush suddenly rose to her cheeks as she spoke. Although Zhong Xiaofei was lowering his head to eat, he couldn't help but sneak glances at Xiong Huilin, observing every move, every expression of hers clearly. He had never seen Xiong Huilin glance at him with such tenderness before, and there was even a blush on her face. Could it be that the beautiful woman's heart of stone had been moved by him?

  Zhong Xiaofei's heart was racing.

  "Isn't that your sister's husband? Who is it then? Oh, I know! Someone must have a secret crush on your sister, so they gave her this beautiful necklace. Your sister is so lucky, hehe, can you tell me who it is?" He Peini's pretty face turned red, after drinking two cups of red wine, she dared to ask anything.

  Xiong Huilin had also drunk several large cups of red wine, but she was clearly a heavy drinker. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at Zhong Xiaofei again, speaking slowly and deliberately: "It's nothing to tell you, the person who sent me is an idiot, his name is..." "Cough, cough, cough." Zhong Xiaofei violently coughed twice, not pretending, but really being choked by the soup. Although he knew Xiong Huilin was joking, he was extremely worried that she would say his name out loud, because if Li San Shi found out this information, he would be dead for sure.

  "Are you okay?" Penny Ho handed over a paper towel with concern.

  "Thank you." Zhong Xiaofei took the napkin and wiped his mouth, feeling very comfortable with He Peini's concern. It seemed that He Peini really did like him, and when he was eating with his head down, her eyes had been secretly paying attention to him.

  Xiong Huilin's giggles: "Fool, even eating can get choked... haven't you ever had such a good meal?"

  Zhong Xiaofei suddenly became furious, thinking that this woman was too despicable! Today is my treat, the wine and dishes on the table are all my hard-earned money, a total of 20,000 yuan. I even gave you a white gold necklace, but not only did you show no gratitude, but instead teased me! Looked down on me! Treated me like a fool! Despicable, hateful, infuriating!

  Zhong Xiaofei's brain heated up, and she couldn't help but say: "The necklace is very pretty, but it doesn't look good on you. Why don't you give it to Xiao Pei? She'll definitely look better in it than you."

  A woman's contempt is something that no man can bear. At this moment, anger made Zhong Xiaofei forget the bitter consequences of offending Xiong Huilin.
