Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 4360

Married at First Sight Chapter 4360 
When they heard Ning Siqi was treating and they wouldn’t have to spend a dime, everyone she called agreed to come. 
By the time Ning Siqi arrived at the bar, the daughters of wealthy families she had invited were already there. Three of them in total, all dressed up glamorously, stood in front of a BMW, waiting for her. 
When they saw Ning Siqi get out of a taxi, the three girls exchanged glances. One of them said, “She actually came in a taxi—she doesn’t even have a car left.” 
“Does she really have the money to treat us to drinks? Maybe she just tricked us into coming so we’d end up paying.” 
“If she wanted someone else to foot the bill, she should’ve called Second Young Madam Zhan instead.” 
 “Everyone knows her relationship with Second Young Madam Zhan is terrible. They’re practically enemies. Like she’d come over to pay for anything.” 
“Still, they are sisters.” 
“It doesn’t cost that much in there anyway, so why are you two so worried? A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if she’s broke now, she’s still better off than the average person. She can handle a few drinks.” 
While the three were chatting, Ning Siqi walked over. 
“You guys got here early. I thought maybe you were bluffing and wouldn’t actually show up.” 
Ning Siqi smiled when she saw her three former close friends already waiting for her. 
But deep down, she was bitter. The moment she mentioned treating them, they showed up in a flash. 
Yet if she ever said she needed help, they’d suddenly be too busy to meet. 
Ask them to lend a little money—not much, just tens of thousands—and they’d all say they didn’t have that kind of cash. 
It was laughable. Their families weren’t as wealthy as the Ning family once was, but they still had assets in the tens of millions and ran their own factories. There’s no way they didn’t have a few tens of thousands. 
They just didn’t want to lend it to her. 
When people fall on hard times, they quickly see who around them is genuine and who isn’t. 
After everything she’d been through, Ning Siqi no longer saw these women as true friends. But with no real friends left, if she wanted company, she had no choice but to turn to these drinking and dining companions. 
“I happened to be free tonight and didn’t have to work overtime. You hadn’t contacted me in so long, so I came as soon as I got your call,” said the woman who believed Ning Siqi could still afford to treat them. Her last name was Jiang. 
“We didn’t have to work late either and were just thinking of grabbing drinks when your call came,” one of the others added. 
The three of them looked Ning Siqi over. Though it had been a while since they’d last seen her, she didn’t look worn out. Her clothes, though clearly from before, were branded and still stylish. 
Her handbag was one of those luxury items worth hundreds of thousands, and the shoes she wore weren’t something ordinary people would buy—they were far too expensive. 
Compared to before, Ning Siqi no longer had the same arrogance and recklessness. Now, she seemed more composed and mature. 
“Come on, let’s go in. Why are you all staring at me—do I still look as beautiful as before?” Ning Siqi smiled, taking Miss Jiang’s hand and leading the way into the bar. 
As they walked, she said, “Don’t worry, I’m not tricking you. I said I’d treat you to drinks, and I meant it. You won’t have to pay a cent.” 
“Even though I’m no longer the second young lady of the Ning family and don’t have as much money as I used to, I can still afford to treat a few sisters to some drinks.” 
The others looked slightly awkward. 
Ning Siqi noticed it all.
