Chapter 123: Pretending to be Invincible and Being Backlashed!
At this moment, the three of them were all confused, but Li Aikun said:
"I...How...could this happen..."
Every time Li Aikun opened his mouth, a bubble would spurt out. After Chen Yuan frowned and thought for a while, he guessed that there was definitely something wrong with that glass of lemonade!
Chen Yuan immediately understood that Han Yun must have tampered with the lemonade to harm him. But he was mistakenly eaten by this weird Li Aikun and became a scapegoat!
No wonder Han Yun didn't let Li Aikun drink this glass of lemonade!
At this moment, Li Aikun was hiccupping non-stop. Zhou Lan looked at Li Aikun's uncomfortable and funny look, suppressed a smile and said to Chen Yuan:
"Mr. Chen, why don't you help him?"
Chen Yuan nodded and smiled:
"Waiter, bring him a large glass of water!"
Upon hearing this, Han Yun quickly brought a large glass of water over and looked at Chen Yuan's guilty eyes as he dodges!
Chen Yuan looked at Li Aikun and smiled:
"I guess you may have swallowed some dish soap by mistake. Drink more water to dilute it and you'll be fine!"
Li Aikun nodded. His tongue felt numb at the moment. He quickly picked up the water glass and poured it into his mouth.
Chen Yuan turned to look at Han Yun and said with a meaningful smile:
"Don't worry, it's just dishwashing liquid. If you report the crime, you could be arrested for poisoning and go to jail!"
Han Yun's expression tightened and he quickly turned around and left without responding.
Li Aikun, who drank a large glass of water at this moment, suddenly felt much better and stopped burping and blowing bubbles, but he had no appetite at all.
At this moment, Li Aikun could only watch Chen Yuan and Zhou Lan enjoying their feast, feeling so hateful in his heart!
Just as Chen Yuan thought, all the exaggerations he made just now were actually just pretentious words.
Not to mention a Michelin restaurant, even a mid-range Western restaurant like the one they were in, he couldn't afford it, otherwise he wouldn't have made the joke about medium-rare steak just now.
I thought I could take this opportunity to have a meal, but now I couldn't eat anything.
After Chen Yuan and Zhou Lan finished eating, Chen Yuan said to Zhou Lan:
"You guys sit down for a while and I'll go pay the bill!"
"Hey, how about I pay the bill! Zhou Lan and I are classmates, so I should pay the bill!"
After Li Aikun was polite, he stood up and prepared to check out. He picked up the list on the table and was dumbfounded when he saw that the meal cost 8,000 yuan, which was more than his monthly salary!
Chen Yuan looked at Li Aikun who had not moved yet and said doubtfully:
"What's wrong?"
"Well, I was in a hurry when I went out just now and forgot to bring my wallet..."
Li Aikun explained awkwardly, you can't say that you have no money, that would be embarrassing in front of Zhou Lan!
Chen Yuan didn't care and said:
"Then let me do it!"
After checking out, the three of them went to the mall. Chen Yuan bought Jiang Xue a large bag of snacks.
At this moment, Zhou Lan stopped in front of a jewelry store, and her eyes were attracted by a jade bracelet.
After Zhou Lan chatted with the staff for a few words, she took out the jade bracelet and looked at it carefully in her hand.
Li Aikun on the side took a look at the price, snorted disdainfully and said:
"A broken bracelet costs more than 30,000 yuan. I just didn't bring my wallet today, otherwise I would definitely buy you a better one!"
Zhou Lan glanced at Li Aikun with a strange expression and was too lazy to speak to him. Instead, she asked Chen Yuan:
"Mr. Chen, do you think this bracelet looks good on me?"
"It's very good. Jade can nourish people. This bracelet is suitable for you to wear! If you like it, buy it!"
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Zhou Lan put down the bracelet reluctantly. Thirty thousand yuan was not a small amount for her, while Li Aikun took the bracelet and looked at it with a sigh:
"Such a crappy thing is worth thirty thousand? I think it's probably a fake!"
After Li Aikun finished speaking, he casually threw the bracelet on the counter. At this moment, there was a crisp sound, and the jade bracelet immediately broke into two halves!
This scene made Zhou Lan and the staff stunned. The staff member picked up the broken bracelet, looked at it, and said to Li Aikun while suppressing his anger:
"Sir, do you want cash or card?"
Li Aikun looked awkward and said hurriedly:
"Who knew your bracelets were so weak? I don't think you deliberately tried to touch them with a broken one!"
"Besides, such a broken thing is worth thirty thousand yuan?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's worth 30,000 yuan or not. What's important is that you have to pay for it, or I'll call the police!" the staff member scolded.
The staff member did not expect that Li Aikun was such a person. He made a mistake and broke the bracelet, and he was still confident.
"I didn't bring my wallet today, can I write you an IOU?" Li Aikun begged.
The staff member just shook his head, picked up the phone and prepared to call the police.
At this moment, a voice sounded:
"Wait a moment!"
Chen Yuan took two steps forward, took out his bank card and handed it to the staff and said:
“Swipe my card!”
Li Aikun was stunned when he heard this, and then expressed gratitude to Chen Yuan:
"Brother Chen, that's interesting. I will pay you back the money some other day. Thank you!"
"you misunderstood!"
Chen Yuan sneered at Li Aikun, turned to the staff and smiled:
"Find me an identical bracelet and wrap it up!"
"Zhou Lan gave this bracelet to you!"
Zhou Lan blushed when she heard this and said:
"Mr. Chen, why are you so embarrassed? This is too expensive!"
"It doesn't matter!"
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Li Aikun hurriedly said:
"Brother Chen, please help me once and lend me thirty thousand to solve this problem. I will pay you back later!"
Before Chen Yuan could speak, Zhou Lan snorted and said displeasedly:
"What is your relationship with Mr. Chen? Why should you ask him to pay for your mistakes?"
Li Aikun was choked speechless by Zhou Lan's words. At this time, the staff also packed the bracelet.
Chen Yuan picked up the bag and handed it to Zhou Lan and said with a smile:
"let's go!"
Zhou Lan nodded, glanced at Li Aikun, and naturally put her arm on Chen Yuan's arm.
Then the two of them left the mall, and at this time the staff looked at Li Aikun and snorted coldly:
"Hurry up and pay, or I'll take you to jail!"
Chen Yuan was in a good mood after leaving the mall. He had long disliked Li Aikun's pretentiousness.
If Li Aikun was simply chasing after Zhou Lan, he wouldn't say anything, but he couldn't stand the way he was pretending to be cool, unlike how he pretended to be so natural!
Li Aikun, on the other hand, suffered backlash for his pretense and could only reap the consequences!
After sending Zhou Lan to the door of the unit, when the two were about to separate, Zhou Lan turned around and looked at Chen Yuan and said:
"Mr. Chen, thank you, I am very happy today!"
After Zhou Lan finished speaking, she stood up on tiptoes and kissed the side of Chen Yuan's face, then ran away quickly with a blushing face.
Chen Yuan stood there and giggled, looking at Zhou Lan's leaving figure, it made him feel like first love for the first time!
An hour later, Chen Yuan returned to the village, put the snacks he bought for Jiang Xue at home, and rushed to the house where James was.
As soon as he walked into James' house, he saw Sun Meng and four students busy around the test bench. Chen Yuan didn't bother him and walked straight to the back room, where he saw James sitting at the table writing something.
Seeing Chen Yuan come in, James quickly stood up and said enthusiastically:
"Mr. Chen, you are here!"
"James, do you have something to do with me?"
James scratched his head and smiled:
"The last time Shennong Water failed, our team's research made no progress at all, so I want to invite you to come over and see if we can come up with a solution together!"
"After all, the construction of the factory has begun, and we must study it before it is completed!"
