"Nothing. It's just that neither Carlson nor I like these dishes you ordered, so we will order other dishes."
Abe reached out and stopped Carlson who wanted to speak, and said softly.
He didn't beat around the bush, but said straightforwardly
Xiaojing and Xiaoyou were stunned, and the two of them slowly stopped their movements, and then looked at Abe in a daze and then at Carlson.
"Never mind. It's just that Abe doesn't like these dishes."
Carlson explained. Abe finally failed to stop him.
"Carlson, there's no need to explain. My meaning is obvious. You guys pay for the food you eat."
Abe said coldly.
Xiaojing and Xiaoyou didn't seem to come to have a blind date with Carlson at all. They clearly wanted to squander Carlson' money.
As his friend, Abe couldn't just sit idly by.
"Abe, don't do this, I..."
When Carlson heard this, he was anxious immediately.
"Carlson, do you know how much it costs just for the few dishes she ordered?"
Abe coldly pointed to the dishes on the table, and questioned.
"Will they cost much? I brought enough money."
Carlson was also a little angry. He didn't know why it became like this. He immediately took out the money from his bag, and put it on the table.
"Carlson, you are too kind. You could offend Dale for me, so I will not watch you being cheated."
"Your four thousand dollars are far from enough. These dishes at least cost more than fifteen thousand dollars!"
Abe said confidently, which made Carlson froze thoroughly.
"This is impossible!"
Seeing that Carlson still didn't believe it, Abe gritted his teeth and directly beckoned the waiter.
"Please tell us, how much do these dishes cost."
The waiter brought the bill and handed it to Abe.
"Sir, plus the six drinks you guys ordered before, it costs a total of 18,800 yuan. This is the bill."
Abe didn't take the bill, but let Carlson take a look at it.
"How is this possible?"
Carlson's hands trembled as he looked at the long numbers in the bill.
These would cost his salary for five months.
"Humph! It's just more than 10,000 dollars. If you are not rich, don't pretend you are. You ask for it!"
At this time, instead of being panic, Xiaojing was arrogant, folded her hands before her chest, and looked at Abe and Carlson coldly.
"We have money, but not for you! And, please be aware of your own position. This is just the first time you met Carlson. But you acted on your own and ordered so many dishes. I'm afraid you are not here for the blind date."
Abe coldly said, his eyes like sharp arrows shooting straight at Xiaojing.
"Huh, you pretend you are rich. Now you are exposed and trying not to pay the bill? Perish the thought!"
Xiaojing completely showed her true face, ignored where they were, scolded Abe and Carlson in anger.
With that, she took out her mobile phone and made a call.
"You guys just wait and see. if you don't pay today, don't even think about getting out of here."
They kicked up a fuss, and the other guests of Huihuang Hotel also noticed the situation there.
"You guys, if you have any conflicts, please go to another place to solve them, and don't disturb other guests."
The waiter was a calm person, and did not directly ask the security guards to drive Abe and the others out, but took them to the lounge of the hotel.
"Abe, I don't think we should do this. You..."
Carlson was at a loss at this time.
One was his good friend, and the other was girl who went on the blind date with him.
Helping either side didn't seem like a good thing for the other side.
"Carlson, haven't you realized what is going on? They didn't mean to have a blind date with you at all. They just wanted to cheat you out of your money, and you were the one chosen by them."
Abe patted the back of Carlson's head in disappointment.
In the past, when Abe himself was poor and had no status, he could do nothing about Carlson's situation.
But he had changed, and he could easily solve the problem Carlson was facing. Abe didn't want Carlson to be disdained or even deceived in every way like before.
"But she was introduced to me by my fellow-villager. How could my fellow-villager lie to me?"
When Carlson was wondering, his phone rang suddenly.
"Hello……"
Carlson listened to the person on the other end of the phone quietly, and his face was getting paler and paler.
"What's wrong?"
Abe noticed something wrong and asked immediately.
"It was my fellow-villager who called. He said that I can't afford to offend the people behind these two women. He wanted me to pay the bill and give them 10,000 dollars as compensation."
When Carlson said this, his voice was trembling.
Abe finally completely understood the whole thing.
This blind date was a scam from beginning to end.
Their purpose was to cheat 10,000 dollars out of Carlson.
As for the so-called fellow-villager, he probably had forgotten the friendly feelings between fellow-villagers.
"Humph! Now you're scared? Weren't you arrogant just now?"
Xiaojing saw that Carlson and Abe both kept silent, thinking they were scared, and immediately sneered.
"Carlson, now you have probably figured out the whole thing."
Abe patted Carlson's shoulder and said in a deep voice to comfort him.
"Abe, what should I do?"
Carlson looked up, and his eyes were full of confusion.
He couldn't figure out why the blind date arranged by his fellow-villager became like this.
"Don't worry, I'm here. No one can hurt you!"
Abe said coldly, and then looked directly at Xiaojing.
"I really want to know why you chose Carlson to cheat."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand it at all. Give us the money. Otherwise, my brother won’t let you go!"
There was a flash of panic in Xiaojing's eyes, but she quickly calmed down.
"Where is Xiaojing? Where is Xiaojing?"
A sharp voice suddenly sounded.
Abe remained calm, but Xiaojing was overjoyed.
"I am here, brother."
Xiaojing shouted to the outside of the lounge.
After a while, a yellow-haired man who was ugly as an ape came over with seven or eight people.
"Are you the one who bullied my sister?"
As soon as the yellow-haired man came in, he pointed at Abe arrogantly, and said with a wicked expression.
"You could come so soon. It looks like you've already prepared for this trap."
Abe didn't answer, but took a look at the yellow-haired man coldly, and then coldly snorted.
At this time, even if Carlson was stupid, he understood.
"You guys tricked me. Where's Dave Wang?"
Dave Wang was the fellow-villager of Carlson, who arranged this blind date.
"Hmph, Dave owes me 5,000 dollars, and said you can return 10,000 dollars for him. Now you can give us the money."
The yellow-haired man snorted coldly, and stepped directly on the chair with one foot to block the entrance of the lounge to prevent Abe and Carlson from breaking through and escaping.
"I have money, but I don't know how to give it to you."
Abe said in a flat tone. At this time, he calmed down instead, with a smile on his face.
"I only want cash!"
"Okay, I have money, and a lot, but I'm afraid you can't get it alive."
