After her ninth miscarriage, she finally let her scumbag husband and her beloved get together.

When ordering, Xu Wantang made a point of looking through the entire menu.

Finally, I reluctantly ordered two relatively inexpensive dishes.

Although those who can join the dance troupe are all quite good, they all need to maintain their figure and can't eat too much.

If you spread it out, the price shouldn't be as outrageous as it seems online.

Until the menu is passed on to someone else.

"I want foie gras terrine flown in from the air, topped with freshly made cherry jelly from air-flown cherries, and served with freshly made waffles."

"I want Baoyu Tofu..."

Tofu sounds good, and it's cheap too.

But Xu Wantang missed the next sentence: "paired with air-freighted caviar."

"I need it shipped by air..."

"..."

As she ordered dish after dish, Xu Wantang's mind was filled with only the word "air freight."

You'd think this wasn't a restaurant, but an airline.

However, they do have one thing in common: they are expensive.

Apart from the dishes she ordered herself, she didn't hear any dishes with prices below four digits.

I knew it was expensive, but I never imagined there were even more expensive ones!

This table of food, including drinks, has already cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

But there are only eight people at their table, so even if they split the cost, it would still be close to 20,000 yuan.

Xu Wantang glanced at her phone under the table.

Nothing happened.

Could it be that Cen Yuan has been staying on the mountain for too long and doesn't even use his phone in his free time?

It's over, it's over.

She had spent almost all of her savings on preparations for the dance competition.

Now, let alone 20,000, she can't even scrape together 10,000.

While thinking, Xu Wantang suddenly noticed that two colleagues were exchanging glances with each other.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Before we could think about it, the dishes were already on the table, and everyone started eating.

Everyone looked very relaxed.

Even Xu Chuxue was too busy chatting with her colleagues about cosmetics and bags to bother Xu Wantang.

However, Xu Wantang still chose to be cautious and only ate the dishes she ordered.

Hu Qin looked at her: "Xu Wantang, why are you only eating these two dishes?"

Xu Wantang explained, "I gained a little weight while recovering from my injury, and I'm worried that I won't be able to keep up with everyone's pace in the future, so I need to lose some weight."

She thought Hu Qin would ask more questions, but Hu Qin just nodded and turned to chat with others.

And so, the meal came to an end.

Hu Qin suddenly picked up her wine glass and stood up: "It's been a long time since we've gotten together like this. From now on, we're all part of a team, so we must stick together."

"Yes."

The voices of the three tables were perfectly synchronized, giving the erhu a lot of respect.

Xu Wantang didn't want to drink, but seeing that everyone else had, she could only take a sip as a token gesture.

After finishing her drink, she wanted to sit down, but unexpectedly, Hu Qin still had something to say.

"In addition, we would like to thank the Third Young Madam for treating us to this meal."

"..."

Xu Wantang froze on the spot.

When did she say she was going to treat us?

But Hu Qin gave everyone a look, and they immediately looked at Xu Wantang.

"Thank you, Third Young Madam..."

"Wait a minute." Xu Wantang interrupted abruptly, "Teacher Hu, you must have misunderstood. I didn't say I was going to treat you, and I only ate the two dishes I ordered."

Hu Qin raised an eyebrow: "Xu Wantang, we didn't stop you from eating. You're not deliberately supporting two dishes to try and renege on your promise, are you? Even if you ate little food, you still drank the good wine. Before you sat down, we all heard you say that this meal was on your behalf, the Third Young Mistress."

"I don't……"

"I heard it," the girl next to the erhu said affirmatively.

"I heard it too."

"I also……"

After going around once, all three tables of people said they had heard it.

Xu Wantang had no room for rebuttal.

So it doesn't matter whether she only eats two dishes or not.

This is no longer a simple isolated act, but rather a form of collective bullying.

"Teacher Hu, we can check the surveillance footage," Xu Wantang said firmly.

Hu Qin slowly sat down, spreading her hands: "Okay. Call the manager over."

Soon, the manager came over.

He looked at Xu Wantang, his face showing an apologetic expression, but his voice remained unyielding.

"Third Young Madam, I'm sorry, the surveillance cameras were broken today and didn't record anything. Actually, the amount for these three tables is just a drop in the ocean for the Cen family, so please don't make things difficult for me."

These words make Xu Wantang seem untrustworthy and unreasonable.

She remembered that Hu Qin knew the manager, and it was clear that Hu Qin and everyone else had planned how to scheme against her from the very beginning.

At this moment, Xu Chuxue stepped forward, adopting a kind and persuasive attitude.

"Wantang, you are the Third Young Master's wife, so please don't do anything that would disgrace the Cen family. It's only a few hundred thousand, you can just swipe your card. Surely you, the dignified Third Young Master's wife, don't even have a few hundred thousand? If that's the case, then the Third Young Master is too...heartless to you."

As she spoke the last three words, Xu Chuxue's eyes were filled with mockery.

Those around them chuckled to themselves.

"It seems the rumors are true. The Third Young Master doesn't like her at all; they're just maintaining a facade of marriage."

"A man's love lies where his money is, but the Third Young Master has given her... not a single penny."

"No wonder people were spreading rumors about Xina and the Third Young Master. If I believed them too, I would definitely want to find true love instead of being forced to marry a woman I don't love."

After listening, Xu Wantang immediately understood Xu Chuxue's intention.

She was showing others through her actions how little Cen Shichuan loved Xu Wantang, so it was only natural that Cen Shichuan would fall in love with someone else.

No matter what Xu Wantang explains now, she can't win against so many mouths.

Unexpectedly, she then saw a familiar figure.

Cen Shichuan.

He was pushed directly into the private room by Lu Jiu.

Although Cen Shichuan might not help her, if it escalates to a matter of the Cen family's reputation, he should step in to resolve it.

Xu Wantang took a step forward, about to speak, but Xu Chuxue seemed to have been prepared.

She spoke first: "Excuse me, everyone, my boyfriend just happened to be passing by with a client, so he asked me to go over and say hello."

After saying that, she quickly walked towards the private room where Cen Shichuan had entered.

Before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Xu Wantang.

Knowing that Xu Wantang wouldn't dare to anger Cen Shichuan, he revealed everything.

Oh.

They've both lost all shame, so why should she care about her reputation? She should just show everyone what it means to be a mistress and act like one.

Xu Wantang had just lifted her foot when a text message from Cen Shichuan popped up on her phone.

"Don't be ridiculous. Since you insist on showing off in front of others, I won't help you."

"Even if you bring people into the private room, Sheena will just be in the wrong room."

"Either you solve it yourself, or you quit the group now and come back with me."

Cen Shichuan, as always, attempted to manipulate her emotions and her life.

But she did not do as he wished!

Xu Wantang gripped her phone tightly, intending to... get herself into the police station first.

If she gets exposed by two more media outlets, given her reputation, what is she afraid of? It all depends on how the Cen family and Cen Shichuan view her as the third young mistress who is "penniless".

Just as she pressed the emergency call button, a message from Lin Yue popped up on the screen.

"I advise you not to, go to the restroom."

After reading it, Xu Wantang subconsciously looked around and found Lin Yue sitting in the corner.

She immediately changed her tune, saying, "In that case, I'll go to the restroom first. You guys continue drinking."

Hu Qin nodded: "Go ahead, come back early, there's rehearsal this afternoon."

She left Xu Wantang alone, but she didn't dare to run away unless Xu Wantang completely decided she didn't want to stay in the dance troupe anymore.

Xu Wantang walked to the bathroom door, but did not see the person she wanted to see.

Where are they?

"The restroom, didn't I tell you? Second Young Master was a little delayed by work, but I told you immediately because you were in a hurry. Second Young Master is the only one in the restroom."

"..."

Should we ask her to go into the men's restroom?

Or are they still hawking their wares at the door?

Let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

"Second Brother."

Just as the sound rang out, the sound of water came from inside...

Ah, this... seems to be...

Before Xu Wantang could even discern what kind of water sound it was, a solid wall of people appeared in front of her.

Cen Yuan wiped his freshly washed hands, his face expressionless, but as he approached, his breathing became slightly disordered, and his eyes became restrained yet evasive.

"Who let you come here?"

"I..." Xu Wantang raised her eyes, pursed her lips, and stared at his face. "Second brother, is it hot inside? Your ears seem to be red."

"..."
