7: Isn't the point of having money to live a more enjoyable life?

Just as the group was drinking heartily, a waiter walked over carrying a tray with a bottle of Western liquor that shimmered with a silver luster.

"Good evening, everyone. The booth opposite has ordered a bottle of 'Moonlight Salute' for this lady."

The waiter said politely, first pointing to a booth two tables away, and then letting his gaze fall on Liu Yu.

Everyone looked in that direction and saw a young man wearing a floral shirt raising his glass to them, a look of certain victory on his face.

"'Moonlight Salute'? That costs 1999 a bottle!" Chen Jing exclaimed in a low voice.

In the past, such a grand gesture might have made Liu Yu take a second look, but after witnessing Chen Li's extravagance in buying an Audi on a whim, this little thing was simply not worth mentioning in her eyes.

"What's so great about that?" Guo Zihong pouted sourly.

Chen Li didn't even look. It was just a bottle of 'Moonlight Salute'. Trying to show off in front of him wasn't enough. He wanted to see what other tricks the guy could pull.

"Liu Yu, look, they are toasting you over there," Chen Jing reminded her.

The man was holding up his glass, signaling in Liu Yu's direction.

"Don't bother with him," Liu Yu said, casually placing the bottle of liquor on the floor.

The group had a few more drinks, and just when the atmosphere was lively, the man in the floral shirt actually walked over directly with his glass.

He straightened his collar, striking what he thought was a dashing pose.

"Good evening, everyone. May I get to know you?" His gaze swept across everyone's faces and finally landed on Liu Yu.

Under the dim lights, the lines of Liu Yu's side profile were soft and beautiful, and her slightly intoxicated eyes held a hazy luster that made his heart flutter.

Such a top-tier beauty—if he could get intimate with her, it would be worth spending a few more bottles of 'Moonlight Salute' tonight.

"We don't want to know you," Guo Zihong stood up immediately.

The man ignored Guo Zihong's words and instead took a step forward: "Everyone, I see you are all drinking beer. Would you like to try the good liquor we have over there?"

As he spoke, he wanted to step forward again to touch Liu Yu.

"We don't need it. Please leave," Liu Yu coldly avoided his touch and leaned closer to Chen Li.

This subtle movement made the man's eyes turn cold, and only then did he notice Chen Li sitting on the side.

Seeing that Chen Li was dressed plainly and was quite young, he immediately showed a look of contempt.

Chen Li took in the other person's expression, finding it funny—did he really dare to try and poach his girl right in front of him with just this bottle of stuff?

If the uncle can bear it, the aunt cannot!

Without a word, he pulled Liu Yu over, neatly swapped places with her, and Chen Li stared directly at the man face-to-face.

He chuckled: "I say, brother, you think you can pick someone up with just this bottle of stuff?" His tone carried undisguised mockery.

The man's expression changed: "Oh? Then how much do you think it takes to pick someone up?"

Chen Li scanned the room: "At the very least, you should treat every booth here to a bottle."

As soon as these words were out, the man's face fell.

There were over thirty tables in the whole place, and one bottle per table would be over seventy thousand. This kind of spending was not something an ordinary person could afford.

He had only wanted to spend a little money to act rich and see if he could hook this rare top-tier beauty.

He had used this trick many times before and often succeeded, but he never expected to run into a roadblock today.

"I can't afford it?"

The man forced a cold laugh, his gaze sweeping over the beer on their table, "You say that as if you could afford it."

"Why should I treat? This lady is already my friend. It's you—why are you coming over to act rich when you have no money?"

"You!" The man was so angry his face turned green.

"However, to let you open your eyes, I'll make an exception this once." Chen Li beckoned the manager over, "Give every booth here a bottle of 'Moonlight No. 1'."

"Hiss—"

Liu Yu, Guo Zihong, and the others all gasped. 'Moonlight No. 1' was 3999 a bottle, twice as expensive as 'Moonlight Salute'.

Guo Zihong hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "A Li, are you crazy!" He turned to the manager and apologized with a smile: "Sorry, my friend has had too much to drink."

"That's right, Chen Li, there's no need for this." Liu Yu and Chen Jing also hurriedly tried to stop him.

Seeing that Guo Zihong and Chen Jing still wanted to stop him, Chen Li just waved his hand, calmly took out his Bank card, and nodded slightly to the manager waiting on the side.

When the POS machine made a crisp printing sound, Chen Li didn't even raise an eyebrow; 140,000 was just a drop in the bucket for him.

Although Liu Yu had long known that Chen Li was rich, seeing him swipe 140,000 without blinking an eye still dealt a huge shock to her heart.

This was no longer just the concept of being ordinarily rich. Just how wealthy was he?

After receiving the money, the manager signaled to the host on stage, and the host immediately responded: "Booth 16 is sending a bottle of 'Moonlight No. 1' to every table! Let's give a round of applause to Booth 16!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole place erupted. Cheers and whistles rose one after another, and many guests raised their glasses to toast Chen Li.

Several bold girls had already approached with their phones out, wanting to add Chen Li on WeChat.

But when Chen Li scanned them with the system, those exaggerated numbers were simply unbearable to look at—either the 'number of times kun' was shockingly high, or the 'number of kunners' was ridiculously large.

As for the man in the floral shirt, the cheers of the crowd at this moment seemed to be mocking him.

His face was flushed red; he had kicked an iron plate this time. He didn't even care about the bottle of 'Moonlight Salute' he had treated as a treasure.

He rushed out of the Clear Bar almost as if fleeing, not even bothering to say goodbye to his friends at his table.

When the commotion in the venue gradually subsided, Guo Zihong leaned close to Chen Li: "A Li, are you crazy? You just threw away over a hundred thousand like that?"

In his impression, Chen Li's family background was ordinary, and his actions tonight were truly baffling.

"Yeah, Chen Li, your spending is just too terrifying."

Chen Jing also couldn't help but click her tongue, thinking to herself: Just how rich is he?

"It's fine. I've made quite a bit of money from investments over the past few years, enough to last several lifetimes. Come… let's continue drinking."

"But… but money isn't meant to be spent like this…" Guo Zihong still felt a pang of pain.

...

Throughout the whole process, Liu Yu watched Chen Li quietly, her eyes shimmering with brilliance.

In her view, this was clearly Chen Li sparing no expense for her.

Being able to spend over a hundred thousand for her without changing his expression—wasn't this the man she had dreamed of?

【 Liu Yu 】

【 Affection Level: + 5 】

【 Figure: 86 】

【 Appearance: 83 】

【 number of times kun: 0 】

【 number of kunners: 0 】

The group drank several more rounds and were all a bit tipsy.

Liu Yu was almost leaning against his side, the sensation brought by her skin,

Chen Li knew it clearly—this woman really fell for this. Since what she liked was money, things would be much easier to handle.

On the other side, Guo Zihong and Chen Jing were already unable to control their feelings and were passionately kissing right in front of them.

This steamy scene made Chen Li feel restless. Liu Yu took in his reaction, her flushed cheeks pressing close to his ear, breathing like an orchid: "Do you want it?"

With that tingling sensation by his ear, how could Chen Li still control himself? Isn't being rich just about living to the fullest? If he didn't indulge now, when would he?

He would enjoy himself first. He reached out to cup Liu Yu's face and kissed her without hesitation.

Liu Yu responded awkwardly to this sudden kiss, and only when she felt Chen Li's hands starting to get restless did she hurriedly hold him back: "Don't... not here... let's go out..."
