My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

The evening rush hour was very congested, and it was already 7:30 pm when I arrived at Hemingxuan.

Bai Ruwei had booked a private room in advance during the day. After everyone came in and sat down, Bai Ruwei took the menu handed to her by the waiter and ordered the food.

Looking at the prices on the menu, Bai Ruwei broke out in a thin layer of sweat.

That's expensive!

However, Jiang Shutong definitely couldn't conjure up a 'husband' on the spot, so she would definitely be paying for dinner tonight.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruwei's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

She straightened her back and said calmly, "Waiter, bring me all of your signature dishes."

Cheers erupted from the private room. "Wow! Ruwei is really rich and powerful!"

"Thanks to Ruwei, we're in for a treat tonight!"

"We hope that Goddess Ruwei will land a few more big orders!"

Bai Ruwei basked in the adulation of everyone with satisfaction, then ordered a few more dishes before handing the menu to Jiang Shutong.

"Shu Tong, you were the one who insisted on coming here for dinner tonight, so order whatever you like, don't be shy!"

Jiang Shutong glanced at the menu and saw that all the signature dishes had been ordered. She smiled and finally added a bottle of Lafite priced at 28,000 yuan.

"Let's order these for now, and we'll order more if we're still hungry!"

Seeing how calm she was, Bai Ruwei felt a little uneasy.

She began tentatively, "Shutong, we've already ordered all the food. When is your husband arriving? We agreed that if he can't make it tonight, you'll be paying for everything!"

Jiang Shutong: "Okay, I'll call him now and ask where he is."

After saying that, she picked up her phone from the table and dialed Pei Yichen's number.

As soon as the call connected, Jiang Shutong said in a sweet voice, "Hey, honey, where are you?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Before Pei Yichen could speak, she feigned surprise and said, "What? You have to work overtime tonight and can't come?"

She said with a disappointed look, "Okay, my colleagues really want to see you. Since you can't come, let's do it next time. Our department often has group dinners."

"It's okay, just remember to eat well while you work overtime. Love you, bye!"

After saying that, she blew kisses several times into the phone before hanging up.

Bai Ruwei almost burst out laughing. "Jiang Shutong, you're really going all out to skip the bill. Your acting skills are worthy of an Oscar."

Others naturally didn't believe it either.

"Shu Tong, you weren't this clingy when you were with that young master of the Xu family!"

"Yes, do you really think your husband is richer than that guy from the Xu family?"

"Actually, given Mr. Xu's family background, it's normal for him to have affairs, we can understand that. You don't need to fabricate being married just to save face. You know, one lie requires a hundred more to cover it up..."

Bai Ruwei added, "Alright, you're paying for tonight's expenses. Don't even think about skipping out later."

The others nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Pei Yichen, who was socializing, looked at the phone after it was hung up, his ears turning slightly red.

Although he knew Jiang Shutong was just putting on an act in front of her colleagues, his breathing still became a little erratic when he heard the woman's soft voice call him "husband."

"Hey, Mr. Pei, you were just saying you could drink a ton of liquor, but now your face is all red to your ears," the client teased.

Pei Yichen nodded casually, "I am a little drunk. Let's call it a day and talk again another day."

-

Once all the dishes were served, Jiang Shutong lowered her head and began to eat heartily.

The products from Hemingxuan never disappoint.

Seeing Jiang Shutong engrossed in eating despite everyone's questions, Bai Ruwei became so angry that she lost her appetite. "Jiang Shutong, are you trying to cheat?"

Jiang Shutong, who was about 70% full, put down her chopsticks contentedly, intending to take a break and continue eating later.

She said with a helpless expression, "I really am married. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my marriage certificate."

Seeing that his colleagues didn't believe him and all had expressions that said, "You're just acting, keep acting," he realized that his colleagues were not convinced.

Jiang Shutong took out her phone and started looking through her photo album for pictures of her marriage certificate.

Just then, a message from Pei Yichen popped up at the top of my phone: "Where are you having dinner together?"

She casually replied, "At Hemingxuan."

Then I exited WeChat and went back to my photo album to continue searching.

Finally, she saw the photo of the marriage certificate.

Then he held up his phone screen and showed it to everyone, saying, "Look, this is our marriage certificate."

Bai Ruwei snatched her phone away, her eyes filled with disbelief, muttering, "How is this possible..."

Someone exclaimed, "Shu Tong, your husband is so handsome!"

"Yeah, her looks put many male celebrities to shame!"

"But your ex-boyfriend was looking for you downstairs at your company last week. How did you manage to find such a handsome guy to marry in just a few days...?"

These words were like a wake-up call. Bai Ruwei calmly put down her phone. "This photo is definitely photoshopped. Do you think we're idiots? The guy in the photo doesn't even exist in real life. It's obviously AI-generated..."

Someone chimed in, "That's right, a lot of photos and videos online these days are AI-generated..."

Jiang Shutong: ...

Tsk tsk, is her husband so handsome that no one can believe it?

Bai Ruwei snorted arrogantly, "Unless you actually let the man in your marriage certificate photo show up here tonight, you're not getting away with paying tonight!"

She had barely finished speaking when the door to the private room was pushed open.

A tall, well-dressed man with a cool and aloof demeanor walked in.
