After a few minutes, a Rover parked in front of them and Wei Xingyue gestured Shi Lei to follow her. A man about 30 years old came out of the car, passed the keys to Wei Xingyue and glanced at Shi Lei deeply.
Shi Lei knew that he would also definitely be curious about himself about how he walked out of the same apartment as Wei Xingyue. He might even understand him.
But usually, these kind of problems wouldn't be his but Wei Xingyue's. He never did anything and he believed that Wei Xingyue couldn't tell people about what happened between them. It didn't matter what happened, he was safe.
After they got in the car, Wei Xingyue didn't say anything and took him to a club at the foot of Qing Long mountains.
Shi Lei knew that this place wasn't going to be cheap just by looking at the exterior furnishing. Mostly likely, it wasn't a place that ordinary people could go in. He definitely couldn't go in with his identity, but thanks to Wei Xingyue, he was able to see what was inside.
Except, Shi Lei was slightly worried because he didn't know if the Scepter would acknowledge Wei Xingyue as his friend. After all, they've only known each other for two days and although they had some skinship, but they weren't' exactly friends. The consumptions in a place like this wouldn't be cheap; at least a few thousand for one person and both of them may consume up to 10,000 yuan.
If it was counted within the sum, Shi Lei would be happy if it was more expensive. But if it didn't count, Shi Lei was afraid that his own funds will be half done from here.
At least he could learn more, Shi Lei wasn't someone to be swayed by personal gains and losses anymore, at least he won't run out of money. If his personal funds ran out, the worst scenario would only be to start again.
He followed Wei Xingyue in and they were greeted by women who were 170cm tall or higher. It was a cold day yet she wore a qipao(2) with a side slit that almost went up to her armpits. Although she wasn't an extremely beautiful woman, but she could definitely make it into the Performing Arts courses easily.
As soon as they saw Wei Xingyue, two of them immediately bowed and said: "Good evening, Ms. Xingyue!"
"Hmph!" Wei Xingyue squeezed out a response through her nose. She took steps forward and the waitresses quickly guided the way.
A woman about 30 years old who was dressed professionally walked over. She was rather elegant and Shi Lei could tell she was definitely a beauty when she was younger. She smiled: "How come you didn't tell me before that you were coming?"
Wei Xingyue said: "I just decided to go here a while ago. I brought a friend over for dinner."
"Ok, I'll organise Xiaoqiao Liushui for you." The woman stole a glance at Shi Lei as if she was trying to guess who he was. After all, she was familiar with frequent customers here and she at least knew all their names.
"Alright, I can go there myself!" Wei Xingyue turned around, looked at Shi Lei and walked straight ahead.
The property of the club was rather big. The first floor should just be the reception hall for guests. Wei Xingyue took Shi Lei to the stairs and asked: "So, you've never been here before?"
Shi Lei shook his head honestly and said: "There's no way for me to come to this kind of place. It was clearly under a membership system. Not to mention come in, I've never even looked at it closely."
Wei Xingyue clearly didn't trust him and nodded. She asked: "Can you afford to pay for it?"
Shi Lei hesitated. He thought to himself, he hugged her, watched her getting changed, she even lifted her legs and let Shi Lei see under her dress, perhaps he even kissed her last night. Even if it didn't count into the sum, he definitely should treat her for this meal.
He made up his mind and said: "If it's not out of my imagination, then I should be able to."
Wei Xingyue careless said: "It'll be a bit over 10,000 yuan for both of us. Even your blazer is more expensive than this."
Shi Lei was gloomy. Why does everyone mention my Armani blazer? And, you are a woman, how do you know so much about men's suit? How did you recognize that?
The second floor's atmosphere was rather elegant. They were surrounded by traditional Chinese styled furnishings. There was a familiar smell in the air but definitely not agarwood.
There were plenty of pot plants around. The efforts they put into maintenance were clear as they were still green in winter.
The floor was transparent and connected by panels of glass. Beneath the glass floor, there was a stream flowing slowly, it was as if they were walking on top of a stream. The sides were filled with pebbles which enabled Shi Lei to feel like he was walking in the natural outskirts of the town instead of a building.
Seeing that Shi Lei was curious in everything he saw, Wei Xingyue was more convinced that it was Shi Lei's first time there. She wondered, he was someone who could borrow the house from my father, how come he had never been here before? Is he really that curious about this place?
Xiaoqiao Liushui was the name of the room, rather than a room, it was a half sealed room. The fence was enough to block the vision of the passersby yet not completely closed off.
The compartment wasn't too big, but it could fit a table for eight people, and it wasn't too crowded today as there was only a table for two in it.
Wei Xingyue stood next to the chair and Shi Lei was judicious enough to pull the chair apart for her. She sat down proudly and Shi Lei finally sat opposite her.
A waitress in qipao came in and poured tea for them, then politely asked: "What would you like to eat?"
Wei Xingyue waved her hands and said: "A few dishes and a bottle of 707, you guys can handle the choices."
After the waitress left, Wei Xingyue then spoke to Shi Lei: "Australia's Penfolds wine, it's rather light. Don't worry, it's just one bottle."
Shi Lei was speechless, it hurt him to see the combination of wine and Wei Xingyue together.
He secretly searched what 707 was, it wasn't hard to find as it was the most expensive mass produced wine from Penfolds. The full name is bin707 which was sold for about 2,000 yuan in China, but it wouldn't be surprising if the price was doubled or even tripled here.
"Really? Do you really have to check the price?" Wei Xingyue seemed to know what Shi Lei was looking up on his phone and said in disdain.
Shi Lei smiled in embarrassment and said: "I don't know much about wine. You were talking about it so I wanted to check what Penfolds and 707 was!"
"Are you pretending or do you really not know anything?" Wei Xingyue was running out of patience.
Shi Lei laughed bitterly: "I really don't know anything and I don't have to pretend."
Wei Xingyue didn't say anything else. Her fingertips brushed the chain of Xingyue Puti on her neck and glanced at it. Although she knew that it wasn't worth much, but she smiled without a reason and thought that it was rather interesting.
The dishes were extremely delicate and the speed of making it was slow too. As they readied the wine, four dishes and soup came on.
Shi Lei stared for a long time but felt like it didn't matter where he started to eat, it would ruin the delicate presence of it. Embarrassed, he raised the glass and took a sip.
Wei Xingyue wasn't in a hurry. She held the bottom of the glass with her fingers and lightly swayed it. Burgundy liquid rocked back and forth in the glass, leaving a curtain of red behind.
"Let's drink!" Wei Xingyue finally raised the glass. From Shi Lei's way of holding the glass, she was more and more convinced that Shi Lei was really a loser who didn't know anything. But if that was really the case, it was even harder to explain.
"Eat. It doesn't matter how delicate it looks like, it's still food in the end. If you really feel that it's a waste, you can take away and worship it!" Wei Xingyue picked up some food with her chopsticks and glanced at Shi Lei.
Shi Lei laughed in embarrassment. He realized that he had a long way to go in learning how to live like a wealthy person. He also confirmed that Wei Xingyue's background was definitely not just like a normal millionaire, but at least on the same level as Wei Qing.

The bill was 12,000 yuan. The bottle of wine by itself was more than 9,000 yuan. Shi Lei thought that they would only sell it for triple the price, but it seemed like he was too naive.
On the contrary, the price of the dishes weren't that expensive. It was only about 3,000 yuan for four dishes and soup. It was made rather delicately and they even gave them drinks prior to the dishes and fruits after. The key point was that the taste was extremely nice and it was clear how much effort they put in making them.
It had been almost two months and Shi Lei had become picky with the taste of food. Although he might've been eating low quality food before, but anyone who ate top quality food would distinguish the difference between them.
Things like Lobsters and abalones, although it wasn't that it was not good enough for Shi Lei, but it definitely wasn't as exciting as before. Only the three in his dorm would consider the best food in the world to be seafood.
Any dishes which Shi Lei complimented on genuinely must be a good dish. Even Wei Xingyue, who was clearly on a diet to control her body shape and weight ate half a bowl of rice and even halved the dishes with Shi Lei as they finished everything.
That was definitely something.
At a level like this, with this taste, plus the furnishings and service, and the average price of the dishes was only 500 yuan for one, it was really not that expensive.
Shi Lei silently told himself all these as he walked outside. He suddenly realized that it's been barely a month and he now thought a 500 yuan dish wasn't expensive. The Black Card was definitely crazy enough to change Shi Lei from being a loser to someone who sees money as nothing.
Shi Lei was feeling contradicted; one part of him thought that it was fine to have a meal at the price of over 10,000 yuan, but the other part of him was telling him that his heart was bleeding.
It was fine because if this could be counted into the sum, then Shi Lei wouldn't really care.
His heart was bleeding because he was worried that the money won't be calculated into the sum. If that was the case, his own funds of 16,000 yuan, which he worked extremely hard for, would be gone immediately.
After they went back down, the same female manager which greeted them before walked over and whispered: "How was it today?"
Wei Xingyue nodded and said: "The quality is always good, you really don't have to ask everything single time."
"Well, I'm just doing what I have to do since this is my job."
"You wanted to give him a card, didn't you? You can, but I don't think he'll come often." Wei Xingyue glanced at Shi Lei and knew exactly what she was thinking.
The female manager took out a card and passed it to Shi Lei politely with both hands. She said: "You were enjoying your vegetarian course so I didn't want to interrupt you. Let me introduce myself, I'm the reception manager here and this is my business card."
Shi Lei took the card and asked with doubt: "Those dishes were vegetarian? I thought it looked like three meat and one vegetable dish. Even the soup was made from eggs and that more or less counts as a meat dish?"
The manager smiled and said: "We are not strictly a vegetarian restaurant, so we don't really mind to use eggs which was controversial. If we were really a vegetarian restaurant then we won't sell alcohol here. But the other four dishes were indeed all vegetarian and even without any oil, all the meat you saw were made out of tofu."
Everything turned black in front of Shi Lei's eyes. No wonder Wei Xingyue, who needed to maintain a diet to keep her body shape and weight would eat here. She even fought over the food with Shi Lei. It was vegetarian! But if they were all vegetarian, it didn't matter how much efforts they put into it, 500 yuan for one dish was still too expensive! No matter how much it resembled of meat, it was still tofu!
Shi Lei felt that his wallet was wailing.
The name of the manager was printed on the card; Li Xiaoyu, and it was very Douban(1) styled. The layout and design of the card was very simple. The top was the name of the club, her name was in the middle with her position next to it, which was simply 'manager' without flowery words. Below the name were digits starting with 13, which was her phone number without a doubt.
"Hello, Manager Li."
"You are too polite……" Li Xiaoyu said.
"How do I address you, sir?"
"Oh, my name is Shi Lei."
"Are you satisfied with the dishes today?"
"It was very nice, but I think it was too expensive. Three tofu dishes and one vegetable dish was 3,000 yuan and the wine was even more expensive as it was four times the market price."
Li Xiaoyu was astonished. None of the customers came here complained that it was expensive. Most of these people didn't even see money as something valuable, so ever since this place opened, no customers ever topped up here as it was like a shame to them if it wasn't already. They didn't just greet ordinary customers here. As Shi Lei had guessed, it was indeed under a membership system. Although they gave out cards to people around the world, but it was mainly for people in Jiangdong province. In other provinces, they barely gave out 1,000 cards. Plus, the customers who had a card were all like Shi Lei, who had been brought by someone. With a background like Wei Xingyue's, her face was her card so why would anyone still give her a card?
In conclusion, there were no more than 3,000 customers here and the frequent customers were only about 1,000 people.
Li Xiaoyu had worked here for three years and it was the first time to hear someone saying that the price was too expensive. All of a sudden, she didn't how to reply.
Wei Xingyue rolled her eyes and said: "Are you complaining that it was too expensive to treat me dinner?"
Shi Lei quickly waved his hands and said: "That's not what I meant."
Wei Xingyue then said to Li Xiaoyu: "Don't mind him, this guy's crazy."
Li Xiaoyu laughed bitterly. She didn't dare to say that and she could only smile, thinking that this young master probably loved to mess around.
"I know you know. If you want to come next time, you can call me. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't, I will naturally greet you and provide the best service for you. But if you call previously we can organize it and it will be better. This is a card, if I'm on break or some waitresses who are blind don't recognize you, please show this to them." As expected of a high class club's manager, there were no loopholes in her words. Although she was just speaking, but she was extremely polite. She was considerate and even reminded Shi Lei to bring the card to avoid being rejected outside. The reminder was very detailed and she gave face to Shi Lei. She said that if he was stopped at the door, it would be the fault of the staff working here.
Shi Lei exclaimed silently and took card. He secretly thought, Wei Xingyue definitely had this wrong. Perhaps I'll really visit here often.
However, he misunderstood what Wei Xingyue meant. Wei Xingyue didn't think that he couldn't afford it, but he didn't have any friends who were good enough for this place. Shi Lei wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't be stupid enough to bring people who shouts and cheers and even wanting to take photos for the record as soon as they come in.
Li Xiaoyu walked them all the way to the car park and opened the door for them in hospitality. Shi Lei hesitated as he didn't think that Wei Xingyue was interested in sending him home.
As expected, Wei Xingyue said: "I won't drive you home. Tell someone to come and pick you up."
Shi Lei thought, luckily I didn't get in the car. Otherwise, how awkward would that be?
Wei Xingyue raised the Xingyue Puti on her neck and said: "I actually quite like this present, thanks." Shi Lei looked up to the sky wordlessly.
"Did your friend from the Antique street sold you this?"
"He would never sell this kind of mass produced products. He sells agarwood. Hu's Agarwood Shop." Shi Lei turned around and left, but he didn't notice Wei Xingyue, who froze in the car.
