upstairs
The "financial sponsor" who was taken advantage of was entertaining his classmates in a private room.
The atmosphere here is obviously much more harmonious. These students had already discussed it before coming. Each of them ordered a staple food, so ordering a few fewer dishes would be enough.
Only Shi Rongrong said that she was not used to the staple food here and ordered a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Su Man also asked for low-alcohol fruit wine for them to drink. After all, they had to go back to the dormitory at night and couldn't get too drunk.
After getting a little tipsy, everyone started talking more.
Song Miao shook his head at Su Man, "What a pity."
Su Man paused as she picked up the food. Before she could say anything, someone beside her asked Song Miao, "What's a pity?"
Song Miao's alcohol tolerance was average, and at this moment his eyes could no longer focus. He spoke with a thick tongue, "Our class beauty, oh no, the beauty of the department, she has the face, the money, the talent, how come she is hanging on this crooked tree like Gu Liang?"
“…”
The table fell silent, but Song Miao still didn't understand what was going on until a classmate next to him stepped hard on him.
The pain made Song Miao sober up a little. He immediately remembered the weak spot of this young lady and could not say a word against Gu Liang.
"Well, I was drunk and said the wrong thing when I was not in my right mind. Don't be angry, Miss. Hehe..." Song Miao's laughter was dry.
However, Qin Man did not get angry as they imagined. Instead, she smiled and said, "You are right, why should I be angry?"
Everyone around was stunned.
Who doesn’t know that Qin Man pursued Gu Liang passionately? It turns out that love will disappear, right?
Shi Rongrong, who was sitting next to Su Man, frowned and said, "Xiao Man, are you drunk? How can you let people talk about you like that?"
Su Man looked puzzled. "What does Gu Liang have to do with me?"
"Don't you like the senior and keep chasing him?"
Su Man laughed, "Rongrong, what are you talking about? You know I already have a fiancé, haven't you met him?"
“…”
Shi Rongrong was speechless.
Someone tried to smooth things over, saying, "Yeah, yeah, how can we believe those groundless rumors?"
"I didn't expect that our eldest lady quietly got a fiancé. She should take us to meet him when she has time." said a boy with a crew cut.
The girl sitting across from him rolled her eyes and said, "You want to see what the school beauty's fiancé looks like, right?"
"You want to see who I lost to?!"
"Go back and look in the mirror and you'll realize that a person's biggest enemy is himself." Song Miao added.
“Hahahahahaha…”
Everyone chatted and the atmosphere became lively again.
But Shi Rongrong's face never smiled. In the interval between everyone's conversations, she tentatively asked, "Xiao Man, what's wrong with you? Don't you hate Jin Sinian the most? You say he's like a piece of wood, and you'd rather die than marry him."
Su Man gently shook the wine glass in her hand, watching the liquid swaying inside, and she said lightly, "Do you really think Gu Liang is better than Jin Sinian?"
In order to convince her, Shi Rongrong twisted right and wrong and said, "Yes, although Senior's material conditions are not as good as Jin Sinian's, he is talented and has a bright future. And I heard that Jin Sinian is busy with work every day. If you marry him, every day will be boring to death. I am doing this for your own good."
Su Man let out a long "Oh" and said, "Then I'll think about it."
consider?
Shi Rongrong didn't know what Qin Man meant by this. Did she lose interest in Gu Liang?
She felt uneasy. The strategy she had previously discussed with Gu Liang was to keep Qin Man hanging, not rushing into a romantic relationship. This was mainly because Qin Man was a wealthy woman who had everything she wanted easily. She had to be kept from getting what she wanted, to arouse her desire for conquest. And the more time, affection, and money she invested, the harder it was for her to let go.
Now... could it be that she's been hanging on for too long and wants to give up?
Rongrong's heart was in turmoil throughout the meal. It was not until the meal was over that she tentatively asked, "Xiaoman, senior should be almost done here. Don't you want to go over?"
"Yes, of course I have to go. I want to apologize to him." Su Man smiled meaningfully.
Shi Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief. If she hadn't gone, Gu Liang would have been completely ruined today. She stood up with a smile and said, "I'll go with you."
"No.
Su Man rejected her directly, "I can do it myself, you go back to school first."
Shi Rongrong did not insist any longer. After all, in her eyes, it was normal for Su Man to want to find an opportunity to be alone with Gu Liang.
At the same time, Gu Liang received a message from Shi Rongrong saying that Qin Man refused her company and wanted to come to him alone.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said to his classmates who were already drunk, "Add something else."
Dachuan can drink quite well. Apart from Gu Liang, who doesn't drink, he's the only one who can stay sober. He glanced at his classmates and said, "That's enough. We have classes tomorrow morning. Let's go."
...
Everyone supported each other and walked out one after another. Gu Liang looked for Qin Man as he walked, but until they arrived at the lobby, he still didn't see Qin Man's shadow, and he couldn't help feeling a little strange.
Didn't you say you were going to apologize to him? Why is he nowhere to be seen now?
Just as the group arrived at the revolving door and were about to leave, the waiter came over with a smile and said, "Hello sir, you haven't paid yet. Would you like to pay by card or cash?"
Gu Liang was stunned. "Didn't anyone help me pay the bill just now?"
The waiter said, "I'll check for you. Please wait."
At this time, the students who had walked to the door turned their heads back, each of them confused.
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't have any payment records for you. Please pay in person."
Facing the gazes of his classmates, he said with a stiff upper lip, "How much?"
"One hundred and forty-seven thousand eight."
Gu Liang almost fainted when he heard this number. Over 140,000, how could he have so much money?
Gu Liang had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Sorry, I forgot to bring my card. I'll make a call later and have someone send it to me."
The waiter's smile faded a lot. "Okay, you can wait in the lounge over there."
When the classmates saw this scene, their expressions became amused.
Gu Liang had always been portrayed as a wealthy, generous young man, so it was surprising that he couldn't even afford the meal. Dachuan, in particular, couldn't hide the mockery in his eyes.
He half-jokingly said, "Brother Gu, what are you talking about? I won't dare to have dinner with you next time. I was detained for not coming."
Gu Liang tried to save face and said, "I forgot to bring my VIP card here. Maybe someone at home used it and forgot to return it to me. You guys go first. I'll ask the driver at home to bring it over later."
Dachuan didn't expose him. "Okay, it's getting late. After all, we don't have a driver. If we're any later, the last bus will be gone. So we'll leave first. See you in the dormitory."
However, after all the classmates left, Gu Liang was completely panicked.
He didn't care about anything else. He took out his cell phone and dialed Shi Rongrong's number. He said anxiously, "Didn't you say Qin Man came to see me? Where is she?"
