"How can you be like this?" my friend said impatiently. "Everything I just ordered was your favorite, not mine. What if you leave me here? Aren't you being a bit ungrateful? I was just worried about your health and ordered so many delicious things for you, but now it seems you've just abandoned me here. Isn't that a bit inconsiderate?"
"And what's the deal with you taking my phone? What do you plan to do with it? Please don't use my phone to say anything bad; that would just cause trouble for me."
Xu Shen replied without turning his head, "What do you think I'm going to do? You know who you were just talking to. They even took a picture of me secretly. Don't you realize that? Now I definitely need to go meet this woman."
Hearing this, my friend knew he was lying. Xu Shen's mother wasn't even around; she was far away. How could he possibly meet her? He was just making up an excuse to leave.
Still, my friend couldn't help but roll his eyes at the excuse. It was clearly absurd, yet he had the audacity to come up with such an exaggerated reason right in front of me. Couldn't he have thought of something more believable? After all, we were adults; such a flimsy excuse was embarrassing to hear, especially one that could be easily seen through.
Even though he knew Xu Shen was lying, he didn't dare say anything. The words he spoke were irrefutable, even if they were false and completely nonsensical. My friend remained silent, his face showing reluctance and helplessness as he watched Xu Shen swagger away with his phone.
He couldn't say anything; after all, he had just ordered so much food. Leaving now would be wasteful, so he had no choice but to stay and wait for the food to arrive, planning to enjoy a lavish dinner alone. By the time he finished eating, it would likely be too late for any activities that night, ensuring another lonely evening ahead.
Yet even with these thoughts swirling in his mind, there was nothing more to say. Everyone knew Xu Shen well enough; he wasn’t the type to suddenly act out of character. As for what he planned next, no one would ask, and everyone tacitly followed Xu Shen's lead—perhaps because they trusted him so much without needing further justification.
At that moment, Li Yingxue returned to the room. Since she was here for socializing, she needed to put on a good front.
Despite her reluctance, she understood the importance of giving her friend face since they were already there. However, upon entering, she represented her workplace as well as herself.
Though they were playing different roles at this gathering, they both needed to behave appropriately now that they were present.
This place was quite renowned; everything about it—from its decor to its appearance—screamed luxury. It was clear that the expenses here would be steep. If it weren't for this business engagement, she likely wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy such an extravagant venue.
Her earnings weren't substantial, and she needed to allocate her money wisely elsewhere; spending it here for leisure seemed extravagant. However, accompanying her workplace made visiting such a lavish place possible—it was simply taking advantage of a work opportunity.
