Chapter 205: Totally Screwed
"I can guarantee, there's absolutely no drug in your glass of water." Cai Yu felt he must have miscalculated today. How the hell did he end up targeting someone like Gao Qi?
He swore that when he got back, he'd skin alive the guy responsible for investigating Gao Qi's background. What nonsense—saying Gao Qi was big-chested and brainless, simple-minded, open, and easy to hook up with.
Looking at her now, who's hooking who, huh?
"I don't believe it." Gao Qi decisively shook her head, stared at Cai Yu, and slowly handed the cup over. "It's safer if we switch."
Cai Yu was speechless. He looked at the glass of water in front of him. Didn't he just drink from it? And now she wanted it? No, there had to be something fishy going on.
After thinking for a bit, a smile appeared on his face. "Alright then, to avoid suspicion, I'll just have the waiter bring a fresh one. Okay?"
"No problem." Gao Qi smiled charmingly. "But I don't like drinking plain water."
Gao Qi snapped her fingers like a rascal and called over a pretty waitress. "Hey, girl, do you have Moutai here? The real 500ml bottle, 53-degree Feitian Moutai, not that cheap one-hundred-yuan crap."
Hearing that, Cai Yu almost collapsed under the table. Damn it, who the hell orders a drink like that? Are you here to drink or to date?
Seeing the waitress's troubled expression, Gao Qi got pissed, slammed the table, glared with her beautiful eyes, and pointed at Cai Yu. "Do you know who he is? He's the coal boss of Shangyan City! You think he can't afford it?"
Cai Yu helplessly twitched his lips. He wasn't a coal boss, alright? How many times had he told her that?
"Alright, but you'll have to wait a bit. Would you like something else to drink first?" The waitress, clearly intimidated by Gao Qi's dominance, cautiously asked.
"Hmm!" Gao Qi thoughtfully rubbed her delicate chin, glanced at the miserable-looking Cai Yu, and said, "Fine, bring us two bottles of Wahaha then, the small ones."
"N-no… no… no… please…" Cai Yu finally couldn't take it anymore. "Just… just give me a glass of water."
He was going insane. Why the hell did he choose to mess with this big-titted woman? Damn it, was he blind?
"Water? That's so boring. Who goes out picking up girls and drinks water?" Gao Qi turned back to look at him. "How about some Yuanmidi then? You look pale and weak, clearly drained from too much indulgence. This stuff's good for your health."
Cai Yu stared at her speechlessly. His fists clenched under the table until they hurt. Damn it, he wasn't weak—she was just driving him crazy!
"Then… Wahaha—no, orange juice." Cai Yu figured if he asked for water again, Gao Qi would definitely mess with him. Maybe next she'd order some tonic for middle-aged women.
"Orange juice works. A bit girly, but hey, even Africans like it." Gao Qi finally let him off the hook—but her words sure didn't.
That "African" nickname was now officially sealed.
A while later, the drinks arrived. Gao Qi shamelessly ordered four small bottles of Wahaha milk, and right there in public, stabbed a straw in and started drinking with no care in the world.
Cai Yu glanced around. Thankfully, he had booked the whole place; otherwise, he would've crawled under the table and pretended he didn't know Gao Qi—or that this was any kind of date.
"Sir, your orange juice." The pretty waitress handed him a bottle of pulp-filled orange juice. Cai Yu looked at it in pain, but when he caught Gao Qi's gaze, he had no choice but to open the cap, pour himself a glass, and take a sip. He hated these artificially colored canned drinks—they didn't suit his taste, nor did they fit his refined culinary standards.
But right now, refusing to drink would probably make that big-titted lunatic pull something even more ridiculous.
"Miss Gao…" Watching Gao Qi down her Wahaha and then start devouring the snacks in front of her without an ounce of elegance, Cai Yu shivered. Damn this date, let it end already.
"Hm?" Gao Qi looked up with a chicken claw in her mouth. Sure, she was a stunning beauty, and her figure was smoking hot—the pair of 34E breasts alone could mesmerize countless men—but Cai Yu knew better. This kind of woman… way too wild for him.
For the first time, he actually pitied his rival, Zhang Yang. How unlucky must that bastard be?
"Miss Gao." Cai Yu cautiously slid the beautifully designed Haitiang Pavilion menu across the table to her. "Order whatever you like."
Gao Qi finished her chicken claw, took the menu without even looking, and shouted for the waiter. "Hey, you there—"
Cai Yu turned his face away, pretending he didn't know her.
"Bring out all your best dishes for me! Don't worry about the bill—he's the coal boss of Shangyan City!" Gao Qi jabbed a finger toward Cai Yu, who was on the verge of hiding under the table.
Stay calm, stay calm! Cai Yu forced himself to breathe, reminding himself not to explode. He smiled at Gao Qi. Just you wait—your day will come.
"Sir, cash or card?" After Gao Qi's outrageous order, a neatly dressed waiter approached Cai Yu with utmost politeness.
"We haven't even eaten yet." Cai Yu looked up speechlessly. "Does Haitiang Pavilion require prepayment or something?"
"No, sir, but your order totals about three hundred forty thousand yuan."
"Pfft!" The water Cai Yu had just drunk sprayed out. "Three hundred forty thousand? You robbing people? Let me see that menu!"
Sure, that amount meant nothing to him—but seriously? A casual meal for three hundred forty thousand? Were they serving gold?
"Australian honey-glazed double-head abalone, Chrysanthemum Kingdom sea abalone, Australian lobster, golden shark fin… 1982 Lafite…"
Cai Yu stared blankly at Gao Qi. The seafood was one thing, but wasn't she the one who asked for Feitian Moutai? Now she wanted two bottles of 1982 Lafite? For takeout?
Seeing Gao Qi's half-smiling expression, Cai Yu suddenly calmed down. So that was it—she was deliberately trying to piss him off. Fine. So what if it's three hundred forty thousand?
With a cold sneer, he whipped out a gold card and handed it to the waiter. "Swipe it."
"Of course, please wait a moment." The waiter took the card and left.
After a while, the waiter returned with the POS machine and handed it to Cai Yu with deep respect. A man spending three hundred forty thousand on dinner wasn't something you saw every day.
At that moment, a trace of smugness finally appeared on Cai Yu's face—but only for an instant.
"Miss Gao…" Cai Yu was about to get to the main topic, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt something wrong. His stomach—shit, he suddenly had to take a dump. Badly.
He'd always been careful with food and never once had stomach trouble. Could it be the orange juice?
No, wait—the cap was sealed when he opened it…
No time to think. He gave a discreet signal to one of his men, meaning to keep an eye on Gao Qi, then bolted for the bathroom.
"Miss Gao… I'll be right back, need to use the restroom."
Thing was, the bathrooms in Haitiang Pavilion were a nightmare to find. To make matters worse, the signs didn't clearly mark male or female. But he couldn't hold it any longer, so he glanced quickly and rushed in.
He hadn't even stepped in properly before a woman's scream pierced the air. "Pervert! Peeping tom!"
Shit! Wrong one? Cai Yu froze as a beautiful woman came out. His dark face flushed red. Damn, this was the first time he'd ever done something so embarrassing.
He hurriedly apologized, clenching his butt cheeks, and turned toward the other restroom.
Inside were squat toilets. He didn't care, rushed into one of the stalls, barely had time to pull down his pants when the sound of high heels clicking came closer—accompanied by girlish laughter.
He hadn't even shut the door yet when three female heads suddenly appeared in front of him…
They all screamed in unison, "A pervert! There's a pervert in the women's bathroom!"
One of them even took off her high heel and threw it straight at him.
"Fuck!" Cai Yu was speechless. Were all the bathrooms in Haitiang Pavilion only for women?
Instinctively, he tried to hold the door closed, but the women weren't having it. One chubby lady rolled up her sleeves and shoved the door open.
"Pervert! You're dead meat now that you ran into me!"
Cai Yu nearly cried. Maybe because of the stomach pain, he couldn't hold her back. The door burst open—and suddenly his ass went hot. A foul stench filled the air as shit sprayed through his underwear. He'd crapped himself.
Now he understood—this really was the women's restroom! Damn it, someone had set him up!
"Disgusting! So disgusting! You freak!" The three girls screamed curses. The chubby one even grabbed a trash can from the sink and dumped it all over him, scattering garbage everywhere.
"Gao Qi… I'm gonna… pfft! I'm gonna kill you… pfft!"
Cai Yu shouted between bouts of uncontrollable diarrhea, tears and humiliation streaming down his face. This was pure hell.
He'd had enough. Shaking all over, he pulled out his phone to call his men waiting in ambush. He was done playing. He was gonna make her pay. He'd had enough of this shit!
