Chapter 510 — Fainted with Rage: After Packing Up Feng Xiaoxiao's Order, Wu Chengtian Went to Settle the Bill, and Was Nearly Scared Silly by What He Saw

But if he did not tell, he truly could not produce that money. Still, all that was secondary for now. He ordered a portion of shark fin for Feng Xiaoxiao, had it packed up, and sent her on her way; only then did he stand before the bar with a bitter face, searching for a way out.
By now the Xiao brothers had also been sent downstairs by Wu Chengtian. Only then did he hesitantly dial his grandfather's number.
"Hello? Grandfather, this is Chengtian!" Wu Chengtian said warily.
"What is it? I'm busy. Say it quickly!" Wu Gonggao had earlier swallowed a bellyful of rage at Feng Tianlong's place and had nowhere to vent it. That was not all, either: he had gone to his son-in-law Liu Tianyi, hoping to get the Life-Extending Detox Pill out of his hands, but the man had insisted it was for treating Liu Zhenhu's illness and could not be yielded to him, which left him both sullen and humiliated.
So even a phone call from his favorite grandson found him in a foul temper.
"Grandfather, I'm eating at a restaurant and I don't have enough money..." Wu Chengtian said feebly.
"Not enough money? Then why the hell are you eating there? What were you thinking before you went?" Wu Gonggao snorted. "Didn't you take your credit card? They don't take cards there?"
"It's not that... the card has a limit, and it isn't enough..." Wu Chengtian said guiltily.
"Not enough? How much did you spend that it isn't enough? Doesn't that card have a two-hundred-thousand limit?" Wu Gonggao's voice went up an octave at once.
"A thousand... a thousand..." Wu Chengtian was frightened now. This was the first time his grandfather had ever flown into such a rage at him.
"A thousand yuan? Your credit card can't even cover a thousand yuan? What do you spend it on, ordinarily?" Wu Gonggao was furious. The boy had actually run his credit card to its limit.
"It's not a thousand yuan..." Wu Chengtian quailed. Two hundred thousand had already enraged his grandfather this much; if he said he had spent fifteen million, the old man would surely go up in flames.
"Not a thousand yuan, then how much?" Wu Gonggao snorted. "You worthless boy, you haven't even the shame to blush. You ate a thousand yuan worth of food and can't pay the bill! You've shamed the Wu family!"
"It's fifteen million, Grandfather... I spent fifteen million..." Wu Chengtian gritted his teeth. One way or another, it had to be said; dragging it out was useless.
"What? What did you say?" For a moment Wu Gonggao could not react to Wu Chengtian's words. "How much did you say you spent?"
"Fifteen million..." Wu Chengtian repeated.
"..." On the other end of the line, Wu Gonggao went utterly silent.
"Grandfather? Grandfather?" Wu Chengtian called out, bewildered, but no answer came at all.
He had scarcely called twice when a burst of confused noise came over the line, and then Liu Tianyi's voice: "Dad, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly faint?"
Wu Chengtian on his end was startled. His grandfather had fainted? He shouted into the phone at once: "Grandfather? Grandfather!"
But beyond the clamor, there was nothing on the other end...
Wu Chengtian had no choice but to hang up, and looked anxiously at the waiter: "Can I owe it for now? I didn't bring money, and my grandfather has fainted. I have to get back and see him..."
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't run accounts here!" The waiter was still courteous.
