31: Chapter 0031: Making a Bet 31: Chapter 0031: Making a Bet Fortunately, the wine bottle was sturdy and didn’t break; it only caused a small lump on Han Jian’s head. Gu Chen’s childhood friends burst out laughing. “Damn, when did Han Jian become a masochist?” “I say, Jian, your aim’s a bit off, isn’t it?” “Holy crap! Mr. Qin, you’re lucky! Otherwise, I would have totally cracked your skull open this time!” Qin Yu patted his chest, pretending to be scared. “We’re in a civilized society, how can you resort to violence? Look what happened, karma right? I suggest you turn back while you still can, to avoid hurting yourself again.” “You’re asking for it!” Han Jian swung the wine bottle again. During this process, Gu Chen had been observing Qin Yu. Although Qin Yu acted scared, his gaze was very calm; there was not a hint of fear to be seen! Gu Chen was sure that if the commotion continued, Han Jian would definitely be at a disadvantage. “Enough, stop the ruckus! How old are you all, acting like this? Sit down.” Han Jian was obviously afraid of Gu Chen. When Gu Chen got angry, Han Jian backed down, meekly taking a seat with his tail between his legs. However, as he sat down, he glared fiercely at Qin Yu. The expression seemed to say, “Kid, you’re just lucky.” Han Jian’s compliance pleased Gu Chen, who then turned his gaze to Su Ziyan. “Ziyan, everyone is allowed to bring their spouse, and naturally, so can you. If we let you leave just like this, people would say I’m not a gracious host.” Su Ziyan looked at Qin Yu with an inquiring gaze, and Qin Yu grinned. “Wife, Gu Shao is sincerely asking us to stay; we can’t turn down his face, can we? Let’s stay, making do with what they have for food.” Su Ziyan nodded. She found it a bit hard to read Qin Yu now. He had been seemingly hopeless, but then pulled off a stunning comeback! Logically, they should leave immediately, but Qin Yu agreed to stay. What exactly was he planning? The private room Gu Chen reserved was luxurious, and to call it a private room was a bit of a stretch—it was practically no different from a grand hall. Spanning two hundred square meters, it was fully equipped with karaoke facilities, a cocktail bar, a Western restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a small tea house, and a coffee machine. “Come, Ziyan, please take a seat.” Gu Chen gestured invitingly, indicating the seat to his right. Su Ziyan hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Yu instinctively. Qin Yu chuckled, took Su Ziyan by the hand, and walked over, sitting down squarely in the seat Gu Chen had pointed to. “Mr. Qin, that’s Ziyan’s seat. Yours is over there.” Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and pointed to a seat far away. The dining table was oval-shaped. Gu Chen was seated at one end of the oval, and the seat he pointed to was at the opposite end. “My wife is entirely mine, and so is her seat. Isn’t that right, wife?” Qin Yu responded with a chuckle. Gu Chen didn’t seem annoyed at all. “Do you think that’s it? That I’ve got no other options?” Gu Chen said with a smile, “Since Mr. Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Qin has taken a fancy to this seat, Ziyan, you can go sit across, on that one.” Su Ziyan looked up and saw that the seats next to the one opposite were all empty. It should be no problem to move there, and she unconsciously wanted to nod in agreement. “That won’t do. My wife won’t go anywhere. She will sit right beside me,” Qin Yu said. Qin Yu saw right through Gu Chen’s little ploy. The moment Su Ziyan moved to the opposite seat, Gu Chen would undoubtedly switch places to sit across from her. “Mr. Qin, the seats beside you are already taken. At a western dining table, asking someone else to give up their seat is very impolite. I think someone as courteous as Mr. Qin wouldn’t do such an impolite thing, would you?” Gu Chen challenged. “Of course not. I’m a person who values politeness the most. My kindergarten teacher taught me that one must be polite! So, I won’t ask anyone to give up their seat. I’ll just add another seat for my wife. Waiter, add a seat for my wife right here,” Qin Yu declared. After speaking, Qin Yu looked up towards where the waiter was standing. The waiter, looking down at their own toes, signaled they hadn’t heard a thing. Holy crap, is this guy crazy? Daring to sing a different tune from young master Gu, does he think he’s got a death wish? “Hahaha, did I hear that right? This Mr. Qin said what? Add a seat? This is a luxury private room, and these are solid silver chairs, each one welded to the floor. If you have the capability, try pulling one out!” “I’m done for, this Mr. Qin is hilarious.” “Poor Su Ziyan, to end up with such a man.” Even Su Ziyan felt somewhat embarrassed. She really regretted bringing Qin Yu here! But she couldn’t blame Qin Yu either. Before coming, Su Ziyan thought she had prepared thoroughly. But after arriving, she realized that things were completely out of her control, with too many uncertain factors. “Qin Yu, maybe I should just sit over there,” Ziyan suggested. “No way, wife. You must sit beside me! Actually, pulling these chairs out is quite simple, but they can get damaged in the process. However, since Gu Chen just gave me so much money, even if I damage two or three chairs, I can afford to pay for them. Waiter, how much for one of these chairs?” Qin Yu asked confidently. The waiter glanced at Gu Chen involuntarily, and with an almost imperceptible nod from Gu Chen, the waiter finally answered, “Sir, each chair costs one hundred thousand yuan.” “One hundred thousand yuan? That’s not much. Wife, which chair do you fancy? I’ll pull it out for you.” “Sir, I must remind you that these chairs are embedded into the floor. Even if subjected to a five hundred kilogram force, they cannot be pulled out,” the waiter kindly warned. “Only five hundred kilograms? That’s not much. I’m sure I can do it,” Qin Yu said, rubbing his wrists. “Mr. Qin, no need to boast. How about a bet? If you can’t pull it out, you leave the private room by yourself. Of course, you can’t take Su Ziyan with you,” Qu Xiaoting said disparagingly. Qu Xiaoting remembers clearly; the Qu Family owns shares in the Wei Jing Hotel. To prevent these silver chairs from being stolen, the Qu Family once had a weightlifting champion test them. If even the weightlifting champion couldn’t pull them out, there’s no way Qin Yu could with his slim frame. Upon hearing this, Su Ziyan immediately got nervous and shook her head subtly at Qin Yu, signaling him not to fall for it. But Qin Yu acted as if he hadn’t seen Su Ziyan’s hint and said with a smile, “A bet? I love bets! I agree to your terms. If I lose, I’ll get lost, all by myself! But what if I win?” “Pfft, as if you could win!” Qu Xiaoting scoffed. “Every bet has a winner and a loser. Are you too scared to propose a wager?” Qin Yu teased with a smile. “What’s there to be scared of? If you win, I’ll also leave, OK?” Xiaoting retorted. “Whether you leave or not doesn’t affect me. That bet doesn’t attract me,” Qin Yu decisively shook his head.
