Chapter 141 – Croesus (???)
Jing Yunzhao was shocked. The moment she heard ‘Tian Xiang Lou’, she immediately shook her head, “Thank you for inviting me, but I think it’s better if I go back home to make medical cuisine for Su Chu. The food in Tian Xiang Lou is a little too oily after all.”
Su Chu blinked, suddenly overcome with the feeling that something was not right. Just now when she brought up the words ‘too oily’, her voice was very soft. Yet Jing Yunzhao actually heard it?
“Compared to the food outside, I still look forward to eating Yunzhao’s food more. Allow me to test your culinary skills this time too Chef Jing!” Xiao Haiqing joked as she shuffled closer to Jing Yunzhao and stuck her head into the curve of her neck.
“I agree! I want to eat Biao-jie’s food more!” Su Chu chirped as she smiled till her eyes were like slits.
What a joke. Go to Tian Xiang Lou? Doesn’t that mean that she would have to face this girl called Jiasi? They were not children anymore, but she was still hugging onto a boy’s arm and acting coy. How disgusting. Who knew if they went, whether they would eat more food or vomit more food.
All three girls had rejected him, so Gan Jinchen was even more joyful as he spread out his arms, showing that he respected the girls’ decision.
Tang Zihua’s expression was a little stiff. He had never thought that he would be so easily and swiftly rejected.
However, he still maintained his excellent upbringing and poise as he smiled, “It seems like your cooking is very delicious. If there’s a chance, you must invite me next time so I can try.”
Jing Yunzhao only smiled, her expression still distant.
“You’re called Jing Yunzhao?” The girl behind Tang Zihua suddenly stood up. “My name is He Jiasi, it’s nice to meet you. You’re very pretty!”
After she spoke, she reached out an arm and hugged Jing Yunzhao.
The girl was wearing perfume, and while the smell was not overbearing, but it was still too strong. Usually, there would be very few girls in school who would wear perfume. Suddenly smelling this kind of scent, Jing Yunzhao’s nose itched, and only after restraining herself for a while did she suppress the urge to sneeze.
Her body, however, leaned towards Xiao Haiqing.
This girl’s enthusiasm was completely different from Su Chu’s. While the other part had good intentions, but Jing Yunzhao still could not find herself liking it.
“Oh right! I heard that you and Xiao Ye are sisters? What a coincidence, I even helped Xiao Ye out last week. At that time, she herself didn’t know who threw her onto a small road...” He Jiasi looked as if she did not feel there was anything inappropriate about it as she continued smiling, “Oh, is Xiao Ye not joining you guys for lunch?”
Qiao Hongye who was behind her was already red in the face, not knowing whether it was due to anger or shame.
The matter of her being ill was something everyone knew about, but no one was clear on the reason behind it. Now that He Jiasi had said it out loud in front of so many people, she was practically not leaving her even a single shred of dignity.
If it was in the past, she could still say that she was being bullied, but it was different now. She was not stupid. Her schoolmates did not believe in her. Knowing that she was abandoned by the side of a small road late into the night, not only would they not be sympathetic, they might even think that she had done something bad again!
Qiao Hongye was internally aware of the methods she had used to handle such things, so now that she heard He Jiasi’s words, she instantly felt that she did not have good intentions.
The methods she used were all something she had used to do and thrown away, but the difference this time was that she was the one being played!
But could she resist? There was only one answer, and that was no.
When He Jiasi previously came to the hospital to visit her, she had met her dad, who told her to be a good company to this rich young miss. He Jiasi had even personally promised to let her parents invest in her dad’s little factory in the future, so as of now, He Jiasi was his Croesus. If she offended her, she would definitely not have a good life in the following days.
