144 Young Master Shen Can't Afford The Bill

His friends knew exactly what the Shen family was going through. It was already a godsend that Miss Yun didn't try to harm the Shen family. To hope that Yun Bixue would help the Shen family was wishful thinking indeed.

The entire Ning An City knew that one would be a fool to get on the bad side of Miss Yun Bixue. Young Master Xie doted on her like no other. If anyone landed themselves on her bad side, Young Master Xie would probably punish that person severely as a warning to others.

No matter how you looked at it, Shen Zhengyao's friends were mocking him.

Shen Zhengyao was incensed by their ridicule, and he resorted to venting his anger at the cashier. He slammed his fist on the counter and said accusingly, "I said that your machine is malfunctioning. A couple hundred thousand must be more than enough to pay for the bill. You must be under the impression that anyone can bully the Shen family since we've fallen from grace. But you should remember that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Let me see the boss, if you don't want to work here, just quit!"

Although Shen Zhengyao's words were directed at the cashier on the surface, they were actually meant for his friends. Even if the Shen family's reputation had been tarnished, it would be unwise for them to underestimate him. Their families were still incomparable to the Shen family.

The cashier was frightened to tears. She had only started her job recently and had no experience with this kind of situation.

His friends didn't like where this was going. One of them said, "Let it go Zhengyao, even if you can't pay the bill, don't lose your temper on a woman. It's unbecoming for a man. I'll pay for the meal today."

"That's right, Zhengyao. What you're doing is wrong. If you don't have any money, we'll help you. It's just a money problem isn't it? That's easy to resolve!"

"Zhengyao, we have a lot of money between us. Money is the least of our troubles, haha…"

"Here, waitress, use this card. I'll foot the bill!"

…

Their ceaseless chatter only poured oil on the flames of Shen Zhengyao's anger. In the past, all of them used to curry favor with him, so he had never been disgraced like this before. He disregarded his image and punched one of them in the head.

Pang! The scion standing in front fell to the floor.

The others hadn't quite registered what had happened, and they exclaimed, "What the heck, Zhengyao? What are you doing?"

"Zhengyao, you're the one who called us here! Don't start hitting people just because you can't afford to pay!"

…

In a few moments, the scions had teamed up against Shen Zhengyao and started raining fists on him. The outnumbered Shen Zhengyao ended up on the ground, beaten severely. If it weren't for the cashier who had been scared into calling the police, the beating would have probably continued.

Once again, the Shen family ended up on the headlines. The story was that Young Master Shen had harassed the cashier on the spot because he couldn't afford the bill, and the scions, unable to bear his actions, tried to save the cashier, which ended up causing the fight.

It was finally decided that each person would pay for their own share of the bill. Even so, Shen Zhengyao's portion cost around ten thousand dollars, which he couldn't afford in his present situation.

Old Master Shen's recovery had seen some progress, but an unknown nurse had spilled the beans about Shen Zhengyao's incident. Old Master Shen fainted from anger again as soon as he heard the news. The hospital rushed to save his life.

Yun Bixue received word of the incident from both Yang Mei's reports and the news. Her lips curled faintly into a smile. The Shen family had caused this all by themselves. She had no intention of relenting from her plans.

Ji Qiongxin looked at her daughter-in-law and went to sit next to her. She said, "Bixue, this is the law of the jungle; it's the natural way of things. We must be ruthless towards our enemies. If there's kindness in your heart, you'll no longer be in the driver's seat. What's more, the Shen family did many nasty deeds in the past, and the citizens of Ning An City are all rejoicing now. You don't need to be troubled over their current situation."
