Announcement:
I have officially completed translations of The Silly Alchemist! 90-advanced-chapters tier patrons will be the first to get to the finale, in mid Sept. Come support me on patreon & read up till the finale!
Of course, you think Im a person like you? I come from a rich family, you wont be able to compete with me. Be smarter next time, dont act like youre the king of the world! advised Wei Xing, as if he was teaching Ye Lang a life lesson. Everyone could hear how delighted he was though.
Sir Wei Xing, I havent finished talking, said Ye Lang with a smile.
What did you want to say? Just say it, I dont mind, said Wei Xing, looking at him with contempt. He guessed Ye Lang was about to admit defeat and kiss his ass.
You still owe them eight hundred gold coins, you should quickly pay them, said Ye Lang mildly.
Youre a savage indeed, you think Im actually going to spend a thousand gold coins like that? Wei Xing said after a pause, then he shook his head like he pitied Ye Lang.
Im sorry if you didnt understand me? You have to pay up eight hundred gold coins, said Ye Lang patiently.
Wei Xing paused and then let out a guffaw. Haha
What are you laughing so idiotically about? asked Ye Lang.
Idiotically? Im laughing at you! Wei Xing glared coldly.
Ye Lang was confused. What are you laughing at? He did not sense that Wei Xing had turned hostile.
Im laughing at you for being stupid. You think Ill pay one thousand just because you said so? Wei Xing said with a sneer, his nose in the air.
I didnt say that, you did? said Ye Lang mildly.
When did I ever! huffed Wei XIng.
You just did, everyone here heard you!
What a joke, you think I dont remember what I said?
You said youll order what I ordered, then youll pay ten times more than my payment, do you remember? asked Ye Lang with a grin.
Of course I do, didnt I write the head lady a cheque for two hundred? You mean its more than two hundred? You ordered so little, its just snacks! huffed Wei Xing. He looked down on their dishes. He usually had more extravagant feasts than that.
He didnt really like ordering dim sum here- he preferred more expensive dishes!
He was wrong. The dimsum here was equally expensive and because they ordered many plates, the meal here was worth as much as his usual feasts.
It obviously isnt enough! If you want to pay ten times what I did, how is two hundred enough? Be smart enough to pay the rest of the eight hundred or tell everyone here that you dont have money, that you cant afford it, that you apologise. Then Ill let you go. Were very generous! Ye Lang said with a smile, as if he was not petty at all.
I said ten times your payment, it isnt like I cant afford it! Dont you say you paid a hundred! huffed Wei Xing. He would never apologise and say he had no money.
However, he never once considered that Ye Lang did pay a hundred gold coins. It was just unlikely. One hundred gold coins was not a small sum. Even a young master of a major clan found one hundred gold coins to be expensive.
Of course, it wasnt like he didnt have the money he just wouldnt want to spend so much on something so minor.
Head lady, tell me! How much did he pay! Wei Xing saw that Ye Lang was about to speak so he immediately turned to ask the head lady. He thought Ye Lang was lying.
It was not the same for the head lady. If she still wanted to work here, then she must tell the truth.
Sir Wei, the gentleman here paid us a hundred gold coins she said helplessly. She didnt want to tell him, she wanted to hide but if he insisted, she had no choice.
What?! Are you joking? He paid you a hundred? How is that possible? Wei Xing was shocked, fear creeping in. He didnt know what to do.
If he really had to pay a thousand gold coins now, that was the same as paying with his life. How long would he have to live without money? A few years? A decade?
This is the cheque he gave us, it isnt a joke The head lady took out Ye Langs cheque, proving her point.
Wei Xing was silent.
Whats the matter? Its actually a small thing, just a thousand coins. If you cant afford it, Ill let you go but on one condition- next time, if you see us, you get the hell out of our sight. understood? Ye Lang said with a smile, though his smile invoked terror.
Anyone who said get the hell out of my sight with a smile was scary. Looks like it was best not to provoke this young man.
Actually, they didnt know that Ye Lang was smiling because this wasnt even something he wanted to say. These were all Coldblood Fives words. He could care less. Ye Lang was just maintaining a polite smile on his face.
I You, Ill show you that one thousand gold coins is nothing to me! Here, a cheque for eight hundred gold coins!
Ye Langs words and tone made Wei Xing lose his mind, he was going insane now. The gentleman from the Liu family could not stop him in time while Sir Ximen stood and watched in silence.
Brother Wei, thats also our money in there! Dont do this on impulse, take that cheque back! Sir Liu gave the head lady a look, implying that she should not keep the cheque.
Treat it as me borrowing from you for the moment! Ill still pay you all, I can afford one thousand! said Wei Xing through clenched teeth. It was obvious his heart ached for the one thousand gold coins.
Sir Wei, youre a man! praised Ye Lang with a thumbs up. Everyone felt like he was mocking Wei Xing.
Everyone saw how Ye Lang cut Wei Xings heart deeper when he was already bleeding.
Hmmph! If he could, Wei Xing wouldve pounded on Ye Lang.
Little Five, Feiyan, be careful when you choose your husband next time. You have to check if theyre a man like Sir Wei here, said Ye Lang solemnly.
