Chapter 878: Chapter 878

In a grand, extremely luxurious room.

Li Ping and Qian Xiaofang couldn’t believe their eyes as they looked at the luxurious dishes spread out on the table, along with a 1969 Lafite wine. The two women stared wide-eyed.

"Am I dreaming?" Li Ping said.

"Want me to pinch you to check?" Qian Xiaofang said.

"Does it hurt?" Li Ping asked.

"In a dream, it doesn’t hurt!" Qian Xiaofang said.

"Haha! You think I’m really that stupid? You want to hit me, keep dreaming!" Li Ping said with mock annoyance.

With that, she proactively picked up a bottle of 1969 Lafite and poured a glass for Zhang Xiaohao and Ning’er.

"Brother Xiaohao, Ning’er, I toast to you! Thank you for bringing me to enjoy such a luxurious meal! It’s the most extravagant meal I’ve ever had in my life, bar none!" Li Ping said.

"Brother Xiaohao, Ning’er, thank you!" Qian Xiaofang also stood up with her glass and said.

"What are you two saying! No matter how great the food is, it’s just a meal. Stop dawdling and eat it while it’s hot. It’s less enjoyable when it cools down." Ning’er said with feigned impatience.

"Okay." Li Ping and Qian Xiaofang both responded.

Without delay, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating quickly.

Watching them gobble down their food, Ning’er had a genuine smile on her face.

"Brother Xiaohao, let’s eat too!" Ning’er said.

She picked up the chopsticks and served a piece to Zhang Xiaohao.

"Alright." Zhang Xiaohao replied.

Then, everyone started eating.

Almost half of the delicious meal on the table had been devoured by Li Ping and Qian Xiaofang.

As they put it, wasting such luxurious dishes would be a sin.

"I’m so full! This golden lobster was just too delicious, the best I’ve ever tasted in my life." Li Ping said, smiling.

"Yes! And those sea cucumbers and abalone, they were so good! After eating these, I won’t be able to stomach plain food anymore." Qian Xiaofang lamented.

"I’ve already given the card to Ning’er, so if you ever want to eat again, just have Ning’er bring you over." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile. Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Really? Brother Xiaohao, Ning’er, can we?" Li Ping and Qian Xiaofang’s eyes brightened as they asked.

"You’ll have to ask Ning’er about that." Zhang Xiaohao said, smiling.

"Ning’er, we’re good friends, can’t you often bring us here to eat?"

"Yeah, Ning’er, please!"

Li Ping and Qian Xiaofang clung to Ning’er’s arms, pleading coquettishly.

"Alright! But just to let you know, I can only bring you guys on Sundays." Ning’er said.

"Yay! Ning’er, you’re the best." Li Ping and Qian Xiaofang exclaimed excitedly.

"Let go! You’re squeezing the life out of me." Ning’er stuck out her tongue and said.

"Hehe." The two women giggled and let go of Ning’er.

"Sir, do you require any further service?" a beautiful woman in a cheongsam asked.

"No, you may all leave." Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Alright." The four women in cheongsams nodded respectfully and walked out.

"Let’s go too!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Yes." The three women nodded.

Zhang Xiaohao put his arm around Ning’er and, with the two other women, headed outside.

When passing through the hall, Zhang Xiaohao and the others stopped.

A crowd had gathered around Zhu Molin and a foppish young man.

A stout bald man angrily pointed at Zhu Molin and shouted.

"You two, breaking my fish tank and killing my Golden Dragon Fish, think you can just leave like that? I’m telling you, that’s not happening! Unless you give me a satisfactory explanation today, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in Nanhua City!" the stout man said viciously.

"We, we accidentally broke your fish tank." Zhu Molin said weakly.

"Yes! By accident, you broke my fish tank and killed my nearly twenty million worth of Golden Dragon Fish. You think you can walk away with just an apology?" the stout man sneered.

"What do you want?" Zhu Molin asked, trying to suppress her fear.

"I’ll give you two choices: either replace the fish, or pay me 30 million! Otherwise, don’t think about leaving." The stout man said with a grim face.

This Golden Dragon Fish was something he had painstakingly acquired from abroad through his connections.

It cost nearly twenty million just for the overheads.

The most important thing was that the fish was meant as a gift!

As long as it pleased the recipient, he wouldn’t mind spending even more than twenty million.

"We, we don’t have that kind of money!" Zhu Molin said weakly.

"Hmph! Don’t have money? Call your parents to pay! If they can’t, even if you have to sell yourselves, you better make up that 30 million!" the stout man said with a sneer.

"My dad is strapped for cash right now and doesn’t have that much money!" Zhu Molin said, lowering her head.

"Hmph! That’s your problem. Either pay up or sell yourselves! Don’t say Mr. Long is bullying you two little girls! You can check the price of this Golden Dragon Fish!" the stout man sneered.

"I, I really don’t have..." Just as Zhu Molin started to speak.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, seeing Ning’er, Zhang Xiaohao, and others standing by, like a drowning child grasping at a lifeline, she quickly rushed over.

She grabbed Ning’er’s hands, shaking them vigorously.

"Ning’er, I’m really at the end of my rope, my dad is struggling and relying on bank loans! We really don’t have any money, please help me, will you?" Zhu Molin pleaded.

"I, I don’t have that kind of money either!" Ning’er said.

As a considerate girl, she generally doesn’t ask Zhang Xiaohao for help.

Zhu Molin immediately pulled the foppish youth to kneel before Ning’er, tears streaming down her face.

"Ning’er, I’m begging you, for the sake of our shared school days, please help me, okay? I swear, if you help me, I’ll agree to anything you ask, no matter what!" Zhu Molin pleaded.

"Keep pretending! Let’s see what tricks you two can play today!" the stout man said with a malicious look.

"Ning’er, I’m begging you, help us, please?" Zhu Molin pleaded once more.

"Hmph! Look at them, they can’t pay!" the stout man sneered.

He waved his hand and said menacingly.

"You two, seize them for me!"

With his command, two bodyguards in black moved towards Zhu Molin and the foppish young man with icy expressions.
