Chapter 19 Chen Ziyao’s Humiliation
“I’ll treat you to this meal, and I’ll tell you in secret that I found some money. People say that if you find money, you should buy food and share it with others, otherwise you will have bad luck, so you can’t refuse.” Gu Ning brought out the excuse of finding money again and talked nonsense in a serious manner.
"Really? Well, then, you treat me this time. I'll treat you this afternoon." Yu Mi Xi didn't doubt it when she heard it. She also heard that if you find money, you should buy food and share it with others, otherwise it will bring bad luck, so she didn't refuse.
The canteen has two floors. The first floor is the public canteen. The food is cheap and affordable, but the taste is average. Because they cook in large pots, they don’t care about the color, aroma and taste, as long as it is cooked.
The cafeteria on the second floor is a small restaurant. Just like the restaurants outside, they serve individual dishes and you can order whatever you want, but the prices are much higher.
Eating in a popular restaurant, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish only cost three or four yuan, but a small stir-fry on the second floor costs more than ten yuan.
So when Gu Ning said he wanted to go to the second floor, Yu Mixi was shocked and quickly refused, saying that they could just eat on the first floor.
But Gu Ning didn't listen at all and went straight to the second floor. Yu Mi Xi had no choice but to follow him.
Although the restaurant on the second floor does not have as many people as the one on the first floor, there are still quite a few people because there are also many rich people.
As soon as Gu Ning and the others came up, a discordant female voice came: "Ah! I am not seeing things! It is Gu Ning from Class 4. Isn't she very poor? She can't even afford to eat, and only eats steamed buns. Today, she actually came to the restaurant on the second floor to eat? It's really strange."
Gu Ning is not a celebrity. Those who know Gu Ning are either her classmates or have a relationship with Gu Xiaoxiao or Qin Zheng.
However, the other party's words "Gu Ning from Class 4" meant that she was not from Gu Ning's class. And the other party was a girl, so naturally she could not be related to Qin Zheng.
Then, Gu Ning could almost be certain that the other party was related to Gu Xiaoxiao.
Although Gu Ning didn't intend to make a fuss, he still glanced over. Sure enough, the girl who was talking was Gu Xiaoxiao's good friend, Chen Ziyao from Class 2, Grade 3.
Chen Ziyao is also a rich girl. Her father is the director of a large real estate group with assets worth tens of millions.
Chen Ziyao's father's company cooperated with Gu Xiaoxiao's father's decoration company, so they often came into contact, and the relationship between Chen Ziyao and Gu Xiaoxiao naturally became better.
Of course Chen Ziyao knew about the affair between Gu Ning and Qin Zheng, but because Gu Xiaoxiao and Qin Zheng had told her not to reveal the matter to anyone and embarrass Qin Zheng, Chen Ziyao kept it a secret.
Gu Ning just glanced at it and then looked away, ignoring it. He took Yu Mixi to an empty seat and sat down, then picked up the menu and started ordering food.
In Chen Ziyao's eyes, Gu Ning's indifference was just a sign that she didn't dare to refute. After all, they often ridiculed Gu Ning like this, and Gu Ning never dared to say a word in reply.
"Could it be that he got lucky and found some money?" The girl with Chen Ziyao echoed, looking as if she had suddenly realized something. It wasn't that they knew or thought that Gu Ning really found some money, but they were mocking Gu Ning's poverty, saying that he only had money to eat.
But Yu Mixi, who 'knew' that Gu Ning had picked up the money, was surprised that the girl actually guessed it right.
Seeing Yu Mixi's expression, Gu Ning felt a little amused, but had no intention of explaining.
Gu Ning quickly ordered the dishes, two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a soup, and wrote down the names of the dishes in a notebook.
This was not only the best meal for Gu Ning, but also for Mi Xi, which he had had in the past few years at school.
"Gu Ning, isn't that a bit too much?" Yu Mixi felt a little distressed when she saw this. These dishes cost 40 or 50 yuan! If you eat in a popular restaurant, 40 or 50 yuan can last you a week.
"It's okay, not much." Gu Ning said.
After Gu Ning said this, Yu Mixi didn't know what to say.
"Hey! I want to see what delicious food those two poor girls can eat." Chen Ziyao stood up and walked towards Gu Ning with a look of contempt. She believed that Gu Ning and Yu Mixi could not eat anything delicious, and thought that they were just here to show off, so she wanted to take the opportunity to mock them.
Only boring people would think others are so boring, and pretend to be rich? What reason and necessity does Gu Ning have to do this!
As soon as Chen Ziyao approached, Gu Ning put away the list, stood up, and prepared to give it to the boss, ignoring Chen Ziyao.
Chen Ziyao felt unhappy when she saw this and reached out to grab it.
But, would Gu Ning let her snatch it? Obviously not.
Gu Ning just dodged lightly, and Chen Ziyao missed. This made Chen Ziyao feel extremely embarrassed, so she took her anger out on Gu Ning and asked, "Gu Ning, you dare to hide?"
Chen Ziyao's roar immediately attracted a lot of people to watch.
Gu Ning didn't care before because the other party hadn't touched her bottom line, but now that the other party has bullied her, how could she not care? Gu Ning paused, looked at Chen Ziyao with an indifferent look, and asked coldly: "Why don't I dare to hide?"
Chen Ziyao was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Ning to dare to refute.
To Chen Ziyao, Gu Ning, a poor girl with low self-esteem, timid and cowardly, had no choice but to be bullied and submit to her fate. What qualifications did she have to resist or refute?
Moreover, Gu Ning, who had never dared to resist or refute her, actually dared to resist and refute her. This naturally made Chen Ziyao feel extremely embarrassed, so she became angry and said, "Gu Ning, you are a poor girl, what qualifications do you have to resist and refute me?"
"What's wrong with being a poor girl? What does it have to do with you? You are not my mother or my father, so what qualifications do you have to control me?" Gu Ning was so angry that he laughed. This Chen Ziyao had such a good self-image!
"You..." Such a sharp rebuttal made Chen Ziyao so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.
Yes, Chen Ziyao was neither Gu Ning's mother nor her father, so she had no right to manage her. So everyone looked at Chen Ziyao with contempt, thinking that Chen Ziyao was simply meddling in other people's business.
Feeling the contemptuous looks from everyone, Chen Ziyao became even more angry.
She also knew that she was neither Gu Ning's mother nor her father, and had no right to control her. But she was used to Gu Ning's submissiveness, so she could not accept Gu Ning's resistance and rebuttal.
So, even though she knew this, Chen Ziyao didn't plan to let it go. She thought for a moment, a resentful light flashed in her eyes, and she said to Gu Ning with a mocking smile: "Heh! Gu Ning, do you have a father? Your mother is just a shameless woman who got pregnant before marriage, and you are a bastard..."
