Their earlier dinner had cost a total of 367 RMB… Didn’t her chauffeuring service seem to be a little too overpriced?
Feeling that it wouldn’t be right to take advantage of Lin Jiage like that, Shi Yao pondered for a moment before proposing, “Why don’t we do it this way instead? I’ll chauffeur you around today as an apology and to show my gratitude, so you don’t have to pay me for that. As for the dinner, I think that I should still pay you back…”
Thinking that it was a good idea, Shi Yao turned her head to Lin Jiage and asked, “What do you think?”
My main goal is to get you to attend the gathering anyway; the process doesn’t matter…
With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage replied, “Up to you.”
…
By the time Lin Jiage and Shi Yao arrived at the KTV near their school, Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou had already gotten a room and were waiting inside.
Pushing the door open, Lin Jiage was immediately given a warm welcome by the blackmailed Lu Benlai, “Boss!”
Xia Shangzhou also greeted him with a voice that was even more jovial than Lu Benlai’s, “Boss!”
Ignoring those two, Lin Jiage immediately stepped aside to let Shi Yao enter.
Upon seeing Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou, Shi Yao politely greeted them, “Nice to meet you, seniors.”
On the other hand, seeing that the star of the show had arrived, a radiant smile immediately blossomed on Lu Benlai’s face as he cordially replied, “Little Junior, nice to meet you too!”
Not to be outdone, Xia Shangzhou stood up and gestured warmly to the sofa and juice on the table, then spoke in a voice that was even more affable and intimate than Lu Benlai’s, “Little Junior, nice to meet you. Here, here, have a seat. We also have some juice, so please help yourself…”
In the face of their excessive friendliness, Shi Yao took half a step back instead and said, “About that, I’m sorry to interrupt you all. Actually, I’m only here as a chauffeur…”
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou were stunned by those words. “Chauffeur?”
“Mm,” Shi Yao replied with a smile. Then, she glanced at Lin Jiage standing beside her and said, “I’ll be driving him back later if he drinks.”
So, while enslaving them to come here and coax Little Junior, their boss actually forced Little Junior to serve as his chauffeur?
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou quickly turned to look at Lin Jiage.
Facing the duo’s penetrating glares, Lin Jiage didn’t seem to be fazed in the least. Instead, he casually lifted the phone in his hand and waved it slightly.
Lu Benlai and Xia Shangzhou instantly understood his meaning—he was threatening them over what he’d just written on WeChat.
As a decisive individual, Lu Benlai immediately turned to Shi Yao and said, “Little Junior, you sure are incredible to know how to drive at such a young age!”
Xia Shangzhou was quick to understand what to do as well. He swiftly picked up the bottle of juice on the table and twisted it open while spouting nonsensical words from his mouth, “Little Junior, you don’t know how much I admire women who can dr—”
But before Xia Shangzhou could finish his words, a chilling glare from Lin Jiage’s direction caused him to stutter in fright, “… dr-drive…”
After stuttering for a moment, Xia Shangzhou suddenly seemed to realize something, and he quickly withdrew the hand that was offering the opened bottle of juice to Shi Yao. Instead, he brought the bottle to his lips and gulped it down clean.
To his relief, Lin Jiage’s expression seemed to relax slightly after he finished the bottle of juice.
Heaving a sigh of relief on the inside, he took another bottle of juice, and despite saying “Little Junior, please have a drink”, he was actually passing the bottle over to Lin Jiage instead.
