Yes, the reason Lin Xiao had asked Su Qingning for money was to treat his men to a meal. He wasn't short of two thousand yuan, but he had no cash on him and couldn't be bothered to go to the bank.
"Captain, I have money! I can afford to treat everyone!"
Lin Xiao's actions truly touched Pei Donglai. But touched as he was, he couldn't possibly accept. How could I use the captain's money? I already owe him more than enough.
"Shut up and take it when I tell you to," Lin Xiao said, feigning annoyance.
Pei Donglai didn't dare make another peep. His eyes reddened as he accepted the money from Lin Xiao.
With a tremor in his voice, Pei Donglai said, "Captain... thank you."
