Lu Zhaoning naturally had no objection.
Qiao Li objected: "It would take two hours by bus, but a taxi would only take 45 minutes."
"But there are so many of us. Didn't Ningning just say that we've already spent one-third of our budget on booking the hotel? Our trip hasn't even started yet."
Xia Keke didn't say explicitly that she insisted on taking the bus, but her meaning was very clear.
"I think Keke is right. We should save what we can. What if we run out of funds later?"
Lin Huiyi agreed with Xia Keke's proposal.
Although Xia Mingyang didn't say anything, he stood behind Xia Keke as a protector throughout the whole process, and his attitude was self-evident.
Ding Jiadong, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Taking the bus is a detour, but you can see different scenery."
Lu Zhaoning didn't say anything and took out a fifty-yuan bill for each of them.
"The bus fare is six yuan per person. If you get thirsty on the way, just buy a bottle of water."
After saying that, Lu Zhaoning looked at the others.
"Those who want to take the bus can stay, and those who want to take a taxi can follow me."
Ling Chuchu stood next to Lu Zhaoning without saying a word, "Ningning, I want to take a taxi too."
Qiao Li was a little hesitant.
"Qiao Qiao, Mom is not feeling well, won't you stay with her?"
Qiao Li had a traumatic experience with buses, and she opened her mouth to refuse, but Lin Huiyi looked at her with pitiful eyes.
That look made it impossible for Qiao Li to refuse.
"Qiao Li, come with us."
Ling Chuchu said it casually and ignored Qiao Li after that.
She deliberately held Lu Zhaoning's arm and spoke in a low voice, clearly intending to exclude Qiao Li.
Lu Zhaoning did not ignore Qiao Li, but asked politely: "Qiao Li, do you want to join us?"
Qiao Li was a little surprised.
Lu Shiyu was even more surprised. Based on his understanding of Lu Zhaoning, she seemed like someone who would like Qiao Li's personality.
She is so proactive in caring about strangers, unless she has other purposes.
If Lu Zhaoning knew what Lu Shiyu was thinking, he would definitely praise him for caring about her and even knowing this.
