Chen Zilan disagreed: "Just because we have a good relationship, does that mean I have to pay for her in advance? Aren't you just putting up a moral blackmail? Can't we just wait for Belle to pay for it herself?"
The student who had been speaking then fell silent; it wasn't her business anyway, she had just made a suggestion.
Some people suggested calling Jiang Baili, but after several attempts, they couldn't get through.
The situation became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Although the staff maintained a polite smile throughout, everyone's faces were flushed.
Ming Xiaoxiao looked at the exquisite cake in front of her, carefully put it away, and didn't eat it.
She explained to Jiang Yifan, "My grandma has never eaten such a good cake before, so I'm bringing some back for her to try."
The group of boys who hadn't paid much attention to Ming Xiaoxiao all day suddenly felt sorry for her.
Ming Xiaoxiao's family is not well-off. Her grandmother has never eaten such a nice cake, and she herself has probably never eaten one either.
Even so, when she received the cake, her first thought was to save the delicious cake for her grandmother.
At that moment, a boy shoved the cake in his hand into Ming Xiaoxiao's hand, saying, "I'm a guy and I don't like these desserts, so you can have it."
"Ah, thank you!" Ming Xiaoxiao smiled gratefully, her expression pure and gentle. This gesture thawed the ice among them, and they sat together happily once again.
"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday, I feel really guilty." Ming Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke while eating cake, "I wish I had Xie Li's good luck, she easily made several million last night..."
Ming Xiaoxiao smiled and said with emotion, "If that's the case, I'll not only treat everyone to afternoon tea today, but I'll also treat everyone to a meal."
This reminded the boys, and Qian Shujian, the acne-ridden boy, immediately stood up and said loudly, "Xie Li, shouldn't you be the one treating us today? You made several million gambling on stones last night!"
In fact, Xie Li had already asked the hotel staff to settle the bill, since it wouldn't be good to keep Jiang Baili waiting here since they couldn't contact her.
Startled by the sudden call, Xie Li paused for a moment but ignored it.
Seeing that she was facing away from him and didn't say anything, Qian Shujian was certain that Xie Li was doing it on purpose; she didn't want to pay!
"You're so rich, you can't be this stingy, can you?" Qian Shujian continued. "Oh, before, when someone asked you to treat them, you refused."
Several classmates were surrounding Xie Li, and they all looked shocked when they heard this.
The other students were also startled and looked over in surprise.
Qian Shujian was very smug, with a grin on his face. "We're all classmates, you wouldn't not consider us classmates in your heart, would you?"
He appeared carefree and playful on the surface, but his eyes were gleaming with calculation.
They instigated conflict between Xie Li and the rest of the class, placing Xie Li in opposition to them.
Even if Xie Li immediately paid the bill, it would still leave a bad impression. It would be a bill she paid unwillingly. In the future, any classmate who defends her will definitely be wary and wonder if Xie Li is really worth it.
There was a moment or two of silence.
The girl next to Xie Li turned her head first, her eyes sparkling: "Oh my god, Xie Li, are you a lucky charm? You're so amazing!"
The boy next to her was equally enthusiastic, saying, "Can praying to you change your luck? God, I desperately need a change of luck! Bless me to rank up in games and get lots of points on my exams!"
"I want to pray too! By the way, can I take a picture of you? I can bathe, burn incense, and kowtow to you every day! Just please bless me to be in the top ten of this exam!"
"I'm different... I'll bow first as a sign of respect, and I hope good fortune will be the first to visit me!"
