Just moments ago, they were so smug, so mocking and dismissive of Nangong Yue, and now they are so embarrassed and wish they could die, completely at a loss for words.
But Nangong Yue asked Manager Liu as if nothing had happened, "Is our food ready?"
"It’s already served," Manager Liu answered respectfully.
"Okay." Nangong Yue nodded and turned to look at Gu Mian, gently asking, "Shall we have a meal then?"
"Sure." Gu Mian nodded, her lips curling up into a smile.
"Let’s go." Nangong Yue took her hand.
After walking a few steps, Gu Mian looked back and mischievously asked, "Hey, Zhang, are you still going to pay? If you’re going to pay, I’ll order a bit less."
Zhang Li: "..."
Gu Mian’s remark left Zhang Li speechless, his chubby, bun-like face turned as red as over-steamed buns, and even his ears were burning crimson.
In the end, he could only lower his head in shame and whisper, "I apologize for making you laugh, Miss Gu."
It’s not that he didn’t want to pay, but if these two insisted on ordering the entire menu, he truly couldn’t afford it.
It’s not even about not being able to afford it, but spending money senselessly for the sake of face is really not worth it.
Besides, whether he pays or not, he’s already lost.
As soon as the surname Nangong Yue was revealed, he already lost, so what’s the point of competing further?
"Manager Liu. Charge their bill to my account," Nangong Yue suddenly turned to Manager Liu and calmly said.
"Yes, sir!" Manager Liu quickly bowed his head, his attitude respectful.
Gu Mian and Nangong Yue left, leaving the people in the room with an uncomfortable feeling in their hearts!
Initially, the classmates who hadn’t seen each other for years felt a bit competitive, comparing who was doing better, had higher status, or had more money.
They knew Gu Mian was impressive, that she came from a good family, and had a great job—being the Chief Secretary to the President is not something you can scoff at.
Gu Mian is, after all, a girl. With her conditions, finding a boyfriend can be challenging, especially since she’s getting older, making things seem even more difficult.
That’s why a roomful of female classmates were keen to see the show, hoping to have a laugh at her expense.
