Top spender settlement list

"Gift?"

"What gift?"

Meng Jie raised an eyebrow slightly, smiled, and reached out to take it.

Shen Yining urged, "Open it quickly and see if you like it?"

Meng Jie gently lifted the lid of the box with his fingertips. Inside the velvet lining lay a neat and square lighter—all glossy black with a gilded outline around the edge, exuding a dignified and understated quality.

With his discerning eye, he naturally recognized it as the Dupont Black Gold Godfather model.

What a generous gift!

Shen Yining asked expectantly, "Do you like it?"

Meng Jie picked it up; the body felt substantial in his hand. Opening the lid produced a crisp, pleasant sound, and its understated luster couldn't conceal its luxurious aura.

He smiled and nodded: "I like it!"

Upon hearing this affirmation, Shen Yining immediately smiled happily: "I see you smoke a lot, running around doing business and entertaining clients. Having a presentable lighter makes you look more respectable."

Bai Jing, who was standing to the side, didn't recognize the lighter at all and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Is this lighter... very expensive?"

"It's very expensive."

Meng Jie smiled faintly: "It costs more than 14,000 yuan at domestic department stores."

"what?"

Bai Jing's eyes widened in shock, and she blurted out, "Fourteen thousand for a lighter? What's the difference between that and robbery?"

In an instant, she felt like a country girl who had never seen the world, and her heart ached with bitterness and sorrow.

What are these lighters worth over 14,000 yuan used to light?

Is it counting people or counting RMB?

The high price is secondary.

What she couldn't stand the most was that she was the one treating Meng Jie to hot pot tonight.

What is Shen Yining's best friend planning to do by secretly preparing such an expensive gift?

Trying to steal her thunder?

Since that's the case, don't blame her for not remembering our past friendship; you were the one who started it with underhanded tactics.

Bai Jing decided to go all out!

Shen Yining giving a gift to a man at this crucial moment is obviously meant to steal the spotlight from her best friend.

These lighters, worth over 14,000 yuan, completely drained her secret stash of savings accumulated over the years.

But as long as the man likes it, then it's all worth it.

After all, the man had given her such an expensive dress, so she couldn't be too stingy.

At the same time, she also wanted to tell others that she liked Meng Jie not because of his money, but because she liked him as a person.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for her to use the 14,000 yuan to buy the clothes she likes and then go on a trip?

Meng Jie didn't stand on ceremony and pocketed the lighter: "Don't even think about bribing me. If you don't do your job well in the future, I'll still scold you!"

"I'm yours, I'm not afraid of your insults."

Shen Yining pouted and whispered, "If someone else insults me, you'll definitely protect me, right?"

"After working for a few days, I've become smarter."

Meng Jie glanced at him with a smile and said approvingly, "If I don't scold you for making a mistake, it won't be so lenient when others do."

Shen Yining chuckled and said, "I knew it."

The man protected her.

Watching the man and woman flirting and teasing each other as if no one else was around, Bai Jing felt a little jealous.

It's just a lighter that costs 14,000 yuan.

She bought it too!

She just wasn't as rich as Shen Yining; her savings, accumulated over several years, amounted to only a little over six thousand.

What can you buy with over six thousand?

belt?

wallet?

tie?

But if the price difference is too big, wouldn't she be completely outshone by her best friend?

When the dishes were served, Meng Jie smiled and urged everyone to eat quickly.

Bai Jing suddenly remembered: "Brother Jie, do you drink?"

Meng Jie smiled and shook his head: "If you don't drink, I won't drink either."

Bai Jing glanced at her best friend: "I want to drink, I'll drink with you."

Shen Yining, not to be outdone, declared, "I'll drink too!"

"Just kidding."

Meng Jie continued to shake his head: "I drove tonight, and I didn't drink."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and glanced at the two girls: "When you're out and about, girls should try not to drink with men; it's not safe."

Bai Jing quickly replied, "You're not an ordinary man. It's no big deal for us friends to drink a little less."

Shen Yining nodded in agreement: "It's no big deal for us to have a drink."

Looking at the two girls, Meng Jie laughed and said, "Next time I won't drive, I'll just come find you two to drink."

Both of them smiled and agreed, "No problem."

While they were eating, the two girls were very enthusiastic and offered to serve him food.

When eating, Meng Jie doesn't like to serve food to others because he doesn't know if they like it or not.

Similarly, he doesn't like others putting food on his plate because he finds it disgusting.

If you lick the chopsticks in your mouth before putting food on his plate, you'll inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Don't mention serving chopsticks.

Few people are aware of this!

But if it's a beauty like Shen Yining or Bai Jing, he can reluctantly accept it.

After eating, Meng Jie prepared to go home early.

He spent several days in a row at the KTV last week, which really wore him out.

It made him not want to go back for a long time.

Although I don't want to go to a karaoke bar, I can go for a foot massage to relax.

But not today.

He had already promised Zhang Xingyu that he would go to her place today.

After taking the elevator downstairs, Meng Jie glanced at the time: "It's almost nine o'clock. I'll drive you back."

The two girls smiled and agreed, "Okay!"

Upon arriving at the parking lot, the moment Meng Jie pulled out his car keys and walked toward a cherry blossom white convertible Bentley, Bai Jing and Shen Yining froze on the spot, their faces filled with shock, unable to move for a long time.

They only snapped out of their daze when Meng Jie opened the car door.

Meng Jie got into the driver's seat, casually pressed a button to retract the soft top, and waved to the outside: "What are you standing there for? Get in the car, I'll take you for a ride."

The two girls snapped out of their daze and rushed toward the passenger seat almost simultaneously.

There's only one seat in the passenger seat, but there are two of them.

The two best friends, who were once inseparable, looked at each other without saying a word.

But his eyes were full of hostility, radiating a strong danger signal, indicating that the other party should get out of the way.

"Bang—"

Meng Jie pressed the horn lightly, his voice crisp and clear: "You two go to the back, the passenger seat is for my girlfriend!"

These words eased the tense atmosphere between the two slightly, and they reluctantly went around to the back seat.

Although the Bentley Continental GT is a four-seater, the rear seats are rather cramped, and only slender girls can barely fit in.

After the two girls got into the car, Meng Jie gently pressed the accelerator, and the convertible Bentley sped off.

A cool, refreshing night breeze blew in my face, making me feel exceptionally comfortable.

Under the streetlights, the two girls couldn't help but curiously examine the car's exquisite interior, and all they could think of was the most straightforward exclamation—this car is so beautiful!

At this moment, they had no other words to describe it.

The word "beautiful" is the most direct and best reflects their inner feelings.

Looking at the man driving intently ahead, Shen Yining spoke first: "Brother Jie, is this car... yours?"

Bai Jing stared intently at the man, longing for a perfect answer.

"If someone else asks me, I'll definitely say that a friend lent me their car for a few days."

Meng Jie smiled and nodded: "But since you're the ones asking me now, I definitely have to tell you the truth..."
