On his way to Zhiwei Shengyuan, Lin Mo kept trying to find an opportunity to talk to Qingque about what had just happened, but Qingque and Susan were sticking too close, giving him no chance at all.
Damn it, are all girls' friendships this weird?
Lin Mo scratched the back of his head speechlessly, then glanced at Li Ling beside him and said, "Hey, go talk to Susan about the parchment scroll."
Upon hearing this, Li Ling paused for a moment, then nodded and walked over to Susan. Ignoring how enthusiastic their conversation was, he interrupted her directly, saying, "Excuse me, Miss Susan, I'd like to talk to you about the parchment scroll."
Susan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Mo stood up, pulled Qing Que aside, and came to the back of the group.
"Lin Mo, what are you doing?" Qing Que asked, somewhat annoyed, as she crossed her hands after being disturbed.
"You still have the nerve to ask me? What exactly happened just now? And... what exactly is our relationship now?" Lin Mo lowered his voice, afraid that others would hear.
Upon hearing this, Qingque crossed her arms and chuckled mischievously, "Hehe! What's the relationship? Oh dear, Lin Mo, you didn't actually take what I just said seriously, did you?"
Qingque said smugly.
Before transforming into a self-destructing truck, she had already prepared her excuse.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Mo, whose emotional intelligence and IQ are both above the average level, felt powerless for the first time.
Upon hearing this, Qingque explained, "Lin Mo, you don't want to lose face in front of your old friends, do you?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Mo was still completely confused.
Qingque didn't give a direct answer, but instead chuckled to herself, "Lin Mo, do you know what people call people who haven't found girlfriends online?"
"What do you mean by bringing this up?" Lin Mo was even more confused.
Qingque laughed even more triumphantly.
"Lin Mo, you don't want to be called a 'single dog' by your old friends, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded subconsciously. Of course... no one should like this nickname, right?
"Hehe! That's right!"
"Lin Mo, the reason I acted that way just now was to save your face! Knowing Susan as I do, if I had made our relationship clear, she would have definitely used jokes to mock you for being single, thus gaining the upper hand in this matter! The reason I did this was twofold: first, to save your face, and second, to help you regain control of this parchment incident!"
Qingque put her hands on her hips, looking like she wanted to praise me.
Lin Mo: "6".
Although it made sense, Lin Mo felt that something was off.
However, for now, I guess this is the only explanation I can accept.
Lin Mo sighed and said, "The way you're doing this... you might as well lend me some money to treat everyone. Wouldn't that give you both face and control?"
While sighing, he was also a little disappointed. Although he knew that Qingque wouldn't take the initiative to come over, he still felt quite uncomfortable when he heard this explanation.
Damn it, I have to remember this grudge. I'll deal with her properly when I get my hands on her someday.
Even if it's high or low, I'll beat her until she screams "Dad!" in bed!
"Hey! I didn't lend you money so I could treat you to a meal later! You're not even secretly happy about it, why are you criticizing me instead!"
This girl has always had a very clever way of thinking.
Lin Mo's lips twitched as he said, "Ah, right, right, right."
Is the main issue really money?!
Soon, the group arrived at Zhiwei Shengyuan.
Before going in, Lin Mo had a vague feeling of discomfort in his back.
He glanced back instinctively.
A peaceful scene unfolded amidst the bustling and noisy neighborhood.
Is it just an illusion?
Lin Mo took a deep breath and abandoned his usual lazy demeanor.
...
Inside the opulent private room, four people sat facing each other.
Lin Mo and Li Ling sat on one side, while Qing Que and Susan sat opposite them, chatting happily.
"Miss Qingque, have you eaten here before? This is my first time here!"
Looking around at the exquisite and elegant chandeliers and tables and chairs, Susan exclaimed in delight.
"As expected, this is the most upscale private room in Luofu Restaurant! It's truly luxurious!"
"Oh? Sister Susan, haven't you been here before?"
"Well, I grew up in the Luofu Welfare Home and relied on subsidies to complete my studies. How could I possibly have the opportunity to eat here?"
Qingque thought for a moment and said, "I came to this banquet once when I was very young, with my mother. At that time, my cousin got married to a very prestigious family that valued appearances. They generously chose the most expensive restaurant in Luofu to host the banquet."
Wow! Holding a banquet here! Is your brother-in-law really that extravagant?
Keep in mind that the consumption here is several times that of outside!
Besides, the chef here said they only serve one meal a day...
Hearing this, Qingque smiled awkwardly: "At the time, my brother-in-law and the others didn't know the pricing here. After all, my brother-in-law had finally won over my cousin, and the two were deeply in love. In a moment of passion, they did everything. And when it came time to pay after the meal, my brother-in-law almost collapsed..."
“My mother used to use this incident to warn me not to eat at restaurants casually, because I was easily ripped off…”
"At the time, I mistakenly thought that restaurants outside were as extravagant as Zhiwei Shengyuan, which later led to an embarrassing incident."
Qingque scratched his head and laughed.
Lin Mo smiled but didn't say anything.
Susan looked at her with an "I see" expression and smiled.
