After chatting for a while, Wei Qing said that he would treat Shi Lei to a meal.
When they went downstairs, Shi Lei’s phone rang again. He took it out and saw that it was Wei Xingyue.
“Hey, lil’boy! What are you doing?” Wei Xingyue sounded cheerful. It seemed like she was in a rather good mood.
“I’m with Wei Qing. We’re about to go eat.”
“Hmm? How did you meet the kid from the Wei family? Just in time. I got off the high-speed rail not long ago and I’m hungry. Where are you guys going to eat? Give me the address, and I’ll be there in a bit.” Wei Xingyue was straightforward as usual. She hung up, waiting for Shi Lei to send her the address through WeChat.
“Where are we eating?” He asked Wei Qing.
“Who called? Are they coming as well?” Wei Qing didn’t pretend to be confused and only a.s.sumed that the opposite party wanted to come. He didn’t know who the person was, only that she was a woman.
“Wei Xingyue.”
“Oh! The young lady of the Wei family! Shi Lei, how do you always manage to attract these young ladies from actual rich and powerful families?” Wei Qing was obviously surprised.
Shi Lie frowned. “Weren’t you born into a rich and powerful family? What do you mean by ‘actual’?”
“It’s different. It would be great if my family has one tenth of what they have. Wu Dong’s Wei family and Xi Xi’s Song family are the actual wealthy ones. We are just small fry that follow them and have a small share of the profits.”
“Are their families…uh, that rich?” Shi Lei had never imagined that before. He thought that even if Wei Xingyue’s and Son Miaomiao’s families were slightly better off than Wei Qing’s, the difference wouldn’t be that significant. But a difference of ten times was like comparing one million to ten million. Thinking with those numbers wasn’t too scary, but Wei Qing’s family had at least a hundred billion yuan, ten times that would be really horrifying.
“You didn’t know?” Wei Qing was extremely surprised. Then he smiled and shook his head. “No wonder they all became friends with you. It’s better this way. Like what you said, us fuerdais barely have the chance to choose whom to make friends with. Now that we actually do, we’re worried that they’ll have ulterior motives. People like you are the best. The friendship can last longer because you don’t know a lot.”
Shi Lei nodded and didn’t continue to ask. Even so, it was inevitable for him to feel as if he was in a dangerous position. As for the fact that Wei Xingyue’s and Song Miaomiao’s families were wealthier than Wei Qing’s, he’d already known from the Scepter’s reaction. That five star plus consumption was more than enough to prove that Song Miaomiao’s status was higher than Wei Qing’s. It was obvious that Song Miaomiao and Wei Xingyue should be at about the same level, but he’d never imagined that the difference between them and a fuerdai like Wei Qing was more than ten times.
“Oh, since Miss Wei wants to join, then we can’t be too casual. I’d originally planned on going somewhere close to eat just something and chat. What about this? Tell Wei Xingyue to go to the Da Zhong Ting’s Meixiang Bieyuan. That should fit her cla.s.s.”
Shi Lei waved his hand and said, “No need. Wei Xingyue isn’t as pretentious as you think. Just find a random place and it’ll be good. Guess where we ate the first time.”
“Where? Don’t tell me at food stalls!”
“Close, but not that. A barbeque stall!”
Wei Qing found that extremely unbelievable. “Barbecue stall? But that’s even worse than a food stall!” As he spoke, he forgot himself, finding Shi Lei to be even more incredible.
In reality, it wasn’t that fuerdais never went to barbecue stalls or food stalls. It was normal for men, but not so much for women. If Wei Qing had a son, he could go to food stalls or barbeque stands. Wei Qing would just tell him not to go there too often. But if he had a daughter, he definitely wouldn’t allow her to eat at places like a barbeque stall.
They eventually decided to go with the closest place. There was a Wanda Plaza nearby and there were many places where they could eat and chat at the same time.
They found a j.a.panese restaurant. Shi Lei sent the location to Wei Xingyue, who said that she was already on her way. Since the train station wasn’t too far away, she should arrive in about fifteen minutes without traffic.
She told them to order first and not to wait for her. It would be the best if she could eat as soon as she got there instead of having to wait for the food to come.
Seeing that Shi Lei could talk to Wei Xingyue without restrictions, the unbelievable feeling that Wei Qing felt toward Shi Lei was even stronger.
“Shi Lei, sometimes I get the feeling that you’re a crown prince left with us by some emperor. How can you interact with people like Wei Xingyue and Song Miaomiao so easily and naturally? It’s really hard to imagine. Especially Song Miaomiao. Because of what you said, she even plans to change drastically and come back to the good side. That’s incredible! I a.s.sume the Chang San Jiao circle will be astonished, and everyone will be talking about Song Miaomiao.”
“Just don’t go out there and spread rumours. I have nothing going on with Song Miaomiao. It’s just that she thinks I don’t have ulterior motives, so she treats me as a friend. Plus, I’m probably the only one who dared to call her a d.a.m.ned, perverted transvest.i.te, so she probably thinks that it’s new and odd.”
Wei Qing immediately did the gesture of zipping his mouth. “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t say anything. I’ll be tight-lipped, especially in front of Miss Wei!”
“F*ck off! I don’t have anything going on with Wei Xingyue either!” Shi Lei cursed in fury.
Wei Qing laughed. He raised his gla.s.s of sake and chugged it down, then said, “Honestly, you are probably the only one who dares to say ‘f*ck off’ to me. Those who are better than me don’t think it’s worth their time to say it. I also behave quite well and don’t really offend anyone. Not to mention those who’s not as well off as me, even if you give them the guts to so, they won’t even dare.”
“Then should I feel honored and salute to your tyranny?”
Wei Qing laughed happily and sincerely, “Hahaha. But it just feels comfortable to make friends with you because you never treat us as a special existence.”
Shi Lei pursed his lips.: “You are not anyone special to begin with. Don’t you also have two eyes and one nose? Or perhaps you have three eyes?”
Wei Qing smiled, but didn’t say anything. Shi Lei thought: Ever since I got the Black Card, what do I to be afraid of? Honestly, I was really a bit intimidated when I first met you, but since you treated me as an equal during that time, and I knew for sure that you wouldn’t remember me, I will naturally treat you as an equal now. And after that experience, I got used to it. Plus that woman Wei Xingyue doesn’t act like a normal person, so it will be my incompetence if I still treated you guys as special existences.
Regardless, I’m the one who will become the G.o.d of Investment! Maybe you guys will even need me to guide you to the right path!
When all the food was served, Wei Xingyue had also arrived. As soon as she saw Shi Lei, she jumped him with a bear hug. Wei Qing was dumbfounded and exclaimed how unbelievable it was.
“Were you guys always this close?” Wei Xingyue asked, facing Wei Qing.
What Wei Xingyue was referring to was up until before the Millionaire card incident, but Wei Qing thought that Wei Xingyue was asking if he was familiar with Shi Lei at first sight. He naturally nodded and said, “Familiar at first sight. I always thought that we were brothers or friends in the past life. In short, when I saw him for the first time, I had an oddly familiar feeling. I thought I would only feel this way with girls, but never expected feel like this with Shi Lei.”
