Chapter 553
Chuck and Regine entered the hall and Regine brought her over to her friends'' table. Chuck
instinctively felt that tonight''s party would be interesting. He would definitely eat more since he was
starving.
"Don''t sit here."
"Yes, I won''t be able to eat anymore if I were to eat together with a penny-pincher." Both of the
foreign friends said in front of Chuck sarcastically.
So what if Chuck drove a luxury car?
With only a few pennies in his pocket, how could he be considered wealthy?
Also, only fake billionaires would be like him and pretend not to understandmon courtesy!
Furthermore, he said he ''didn''t bring his wallet with him''. How could hee up with such an
excuse?
"Hey, it''s just a meal!" Regine was slightly angry. Her friends had gone too far today.
One of her friends scoffed, "Just a meal? I was generous enough to pay for a gift and I refuse to sit
with someone like him. Regine, are you going to make me lose my appetite?"
"He said that he didn''t bring his wallet out," Regine exined.
"Well, no one''s going to believe such ame excuse! He just doesn''t want to pay. Why are you
trying to exin for him? Why do you want to side with him?" Regine struggled to clear up the
misunderstanding, "Wendy, he really is wealthy. He just really didn''t bring his wallet out today,"
"Oh, if he''s rich then make him give some money! He can''t even do that. How can such a stingy
person be rich?" Wendy shook her head and said disdainfully. She couldn''t believe it!
Wealthy people did not behave this way, and they definitely were not like Chuck.
He didn''t give a red packet, yet he still had the guts toe in and eat. Why was Regine trying to
help him talk his way out?
His excuse about not bringing his wallet along made Wendy want tough.
Regine sighed. Her friends just didn''t want to listen to her.
"Regine, sit here. Tell him to take a seat elsewhere," Elise pulled Regine''s hand and had her sit next
to her.
She didn''t want to see Chuck.
His mere presence made her lose her appetite.
"Don''t be like this. You''re my friends, and so is he. You..." Regine was really pissed.
Elise had no choice but topromise. What else could she do? She didn''t want to make things
difficult with her good friend over someone like Chuck. She would introduce to her a guyter!
The other two foreign friends looked at Chuck with scorn. How could this person be so thick-
skinned?
Hmph, if it weren''t for Regine, they would never allow him to sit there with them.
"Chuck, please don''t mind them. They''re always like that. Please sit, the banquet is about to begin,"
Regine told Chuck.
She was speechless that her three friends didn''t like him.
Actually Chuck had tried to sit somewhere else just now, but all the seats were full. He had no
choice but to sit here. He sighed. It was just a meal, so he would let it go.
When the dishes were served, Chuck was really hungry and immediately dug into his food. Regine
was worried that he would be embarrassed to get food, so she kept serving him food on his te.
Chuck was really embarrassed and said, "You don''t have to."
"No way, you''re hungry, aren''t you? Come on, eat this." Regine grabbed some food for him and
ced it on his tter.
One of her friends protested, "Regine, why are you like this? We still have to eat. I paid for this
meal."
Only three dishes were served, but Regine had already given Chuck such a big portion.
"Have you not eaten before? You eat like you''ve never tried such delicacies before! You must be a
worthless country bumpkin. No wonder you didn''t try to present any cash gifts and came in
shamelessly for the food. You must''ve never tried such delicious food before!"
Chuck looked at her and didn''t say anything. He was minding his own business and enjoying the
meal. "Don''t pretend to be rich, loser. My appetite is gone just looking at you."
"Sigh, people nowadays are so thick-skinned that they can do anything. How do people like him
even survive abroad?"
"Who knows? I don''t have much appetite now, but people who didn''t pay are happily eating. Why
should we not eat when we paid for this? We deserve the food while he? He''s just eating sneakily."
"You''re right. Let''s eat quickly. Since we paid, we''d better eat much more than him."
The three girls didn''t care about anything else. They looked down on Chuck and ate immediately,
refusing to give him a chance to get near the food. The moment he stretched out his chopsticks,
they would definitely snatch the food in front of him away.
Chuck didn''t care because Regine kept serving him food anyways.
When he finished his meal, he put down his bowl and chopsticks in satisfaction.
Someone looked at Chuck and questioned discontentedly, "He''s finally done! Look, he''s finished
almost one third of the food on the table. Has he never eaten anything in his life?"
"It must be. I don''t even have enough to eat. I wouldn''t want to eat together with such a person
anymore. This is my worst banquet experience."
"Me too. How uncivilised! He only cares about eating his own portion. After he finishes all the
dishes, what are we going to eat?" uttered softly, evidently in Idn''t you also take

already eaten so much but he''s trying to take it home with him? My god."
"Who cares? See, he''s gone, isn''t he?"
"That''s true. Nice, we don''t need to see him anymore! He should''ve left earlier."
The two girls, including Elise, were happy about Chuck''s absence. On the other hand, Chuck
ignored them, packed the desserts and went out. Since ck Rose was just outside, he could just
pass them to her as a sign of goodwill.
"I hope he leaves quickly. Wait, but what should we say if Reginees backter? Will Regine
think that we drove him away?"
"What are you afraid of? Just say that he left on his own."
"I bet Regine will be happy even if he''s gone."
The three girls chattered away noisily.
Chuck came out of the hotel and looked around. He walked straight over towards ck Rose''s car.
ck Rose stopped him coldly, "What are you doing? Don''t approach me, what if others find out!"
He could likely blow her cover if he did!
"It''ll be fine," Chuck shrugged.
"If you need anything, just give me a call." She narrowed her eyes at him unhappily.
"I can''t because I want to pass you this. Here, it''s a traditional green bean cake from my home
country. It''s very delicious." Chuck put it in her car and left. ck Rose was even more pissed off
when Chuck left. She didn''t want to eat this. She had already eaten a hamburger.
She took a deep breath to calm down, her anger slowly dissipating. Now that she was calmer, what
was with the green bean cake? Was there really such a thing?
She stared at the container. There really seemed to be something inside, and it smelled pretty good.
ck Rose hesitated for a while before opening it. She had never seen this sort of dessert before.
ck Rose was doubtful. Was Chuck sure that this was delicious? Was it even edible?
She grabbed it with her bare fingers and took a small bite, her eyes widening after tasting it. ck
Rose was amazed, "It''s sweet, how did they make it? ... It''s quite delicious..."
