Chapter 537: We Are Husband and Wife (15)

They dared to look down on his Nainai, did they?
Without even flipping through the menu that had been passed to him, he put it down on the table. Looking at the attendant, he asked, “Is the Italian white truffle that was air-flown over this morning still available?”
The attendant was stunned. He looked at Si Zhengting apologetically and said, “Sir, that dish is reserved only for our high-class VIPs.”
That made Shi Haoyu’s expression sour slightly.
High-class VIP… that implied that he didn’t make the cut.
Just as Shi Haoyu was about to speak, he felt his wrist being grabbed by Xue Rong. Turning his head, he saw that Xue Rong was now staring at Si Zhengting, her face pale. Swallowing nervously, she said, “We don’t have the right… so let’s just not eat it.”
Shi Haoyu was confused, but then he heard Xue Rong telling him in a hushed tone, “Outside, on the market, a kilogram of imported Italian white truffle is worth 200,000 dollars!”
That sentence turned Shi Haoyu pallid. He immediately concurred, “Yes, yes, this… I don’t have the right to eat it, so let’s forget it, we…”
Si Zhengting cast a sideward glance at the attendant and fished out his VIP card to pass to her. “Give everyone a bowl of white truffle and charge it to Mr. Shi’s bill.”
Stunned, the attendant was about to say something, but Si Zhengting’s aura shook her enough to make her simply nod her head and exit the room.
As the attendant walked out, she finally realized what she had just done. Troubled, she took the card to a senior attendant and asked, “Sister Wang, this is the VIP card from our guest, but we’ve never seen this sort of card before. What do we do?”
The senior attendant took one look at the card and her expression immediately changed. Grabbing the card, she began sprinting outwards. “I’m going to get the Manager of the main hall. You take good care of the guest in the private room, and go tell the kitchen to reserve all the fresh truffle we have for today!”
Baffled, the attendant nodded.

In the private room…
Xue Rong’s face was pale. Even though she had never eaten the white truffle from this restaurant, she had eaten it once with her father.
It was impossible to find any fault with the taste of white truffle, but…
If every single person in the room had a portion of white truffle each, that would be, at the very least, 10 kilograms’ worth of truffle. Ten kilograms of truffle was more than a million dollars!
Her eyes widened and she looked at Si Zhengting, swallowing. “Erm, this… mister…”
Si Zhengting arched his brows. “Didn’t you say, order anything?”
With that, he shot a glance at Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai, with her glib mouth, said, “Xue Rong, Shi Haoyu… don’t tell me that you guys can’t even afford to treat us to white truffle?”
Xue Rong gritted her teeth. “Zhuang Nainai, you…”
“If you can’t afford it, forget it.”
Seeing the way Zhuang Nainai was giving her a look of scorn, Xue Rong hot-headedly said, “Of course we can afford it! Why would we not be able to afford it?”
She was, after all, not from a wealthy family, and she felt as if her heart was bleeding.
More than that, Si Zhengting had already ordered the food. How was she going to retract their order?!
Shi Haoyu was already tugging her by the sleeve, and he lowered his voice to ask, “If everyone is going to have a portion of white truffle, how much is it going to cost?”
With her lips trembling, Xue Rong swallowed once more. “At the very least, it’s going to cost us one and a half million dollars.”
Shi Haoyu’s legs turned into jelly at the mention of the cost, and he sank into his chair.
What million-dollar salary did he have? At most, he had only 35,000 dollars a year! And from the frivolous way Xue Rong spent his money, he had only a meager 200,000 dollars in his bank account at the present moment!
At the thought of this, Shi Haoyu glared at Si Zhengting with hatred. This man must be doing it on purpose!
