Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 1122

Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Ripped Off

Upon hearing the voice, Liao Yi instinctively pressed her lips together, looking somewhat uneasy.

Lin Zhiyi, sitting beside her, patted her hand, indicating not to worry.

Liao Yi turned to look at the newcomers.

It was her two friends, dressed in red and black, both clad in designer brands.

In contrast, Liao Yi was dressed as simply as always.

This only made the teardrop-shaped ruby necklace on her neck stand out even more.

Though not very large, its clarity was impressive.

The cost of both of these people’s outfits combined couldn’t compare to this necklace.

This was a birthday gift Lin Zhiyi gave her.

It was chosen based on her birthstone.

Liao Yi liked it a lot and wore it all the time.

Perhaps it was too unique, as the two women noticed its high value with just a glance.

The two of them exchanged a look, feeling somewhat guilty as they approached Liao Yi.

The one in red tentatively said, "Liao Yi, you’re here to..."

Liao Yi countered, "Aren’t you open for business? Can’t I be here? Besides, I’ve already paid."

The one in red, clearly more hot-tempered, seemed like she wanted to say more, but was held back by the one in black.

The one in black smiled, "Of course, it just so happens that it’s not busy today, otherwise you might have had to wait for a table."

Trying to keep appearances, not wanting to lose face.

In fact, before coming, Lin Zhiyi and her friends knew that the restaurant’s ratings had plummeted.

Even the ratings of a small street corner eatery were higher than this.

Liao Yi didn’t bother to point it out, laughing, "I must’ve come at the right time then. In that case, would you like to sit and eat something together?"

"Who’d want to..."

The one in red was about to refuse when the woman in black pulled her towards the seats.

"Sure, it’s been a while, let’s chat."

Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin shifted a bit to make room for the two women to sit opposite them.

Soon, the waiter brought out the food.

Since it wasn’t a meal time, they served an afternoon tea set.

A 299-yuan afternoon tea, not exactly high-end, but it shouldn’t be too bad, right?

Yet Lin Zhiyi and the others looked at the unevenly sliced cake and a cup of bubble tea in front of them.

Seeing the color of the artificial red cherry bleeding into the cream, the three of them felt ripped off.

Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath, "Is there more?"

The woman in red folded her arms across her chest.

"No more, everything we serve is premium, and the ambiance here, do you think you can find another place like this? You should know."

The woman in black suddenly became courteous, "Since you’re our friend, I’ll ask them to bring some more over."

Saying this, she looked at the waiter.

Reluctantly, the waiter brought some more desserts.

But judging by their appearance, they seemed frozen for a long time, the cream looked almost solid.

They were nothing like the premium products they claimed.

The woman in black said, "I heard from a classmate that you’ve set up an art studio in the outskirts. It takes over two hours to get to the city from there. What were you thinking?"

Lin Zhiyi immediately said, "Actually, it’s nothing major. One of Liao Yi’s suitors invited us to meet. He’s a good guy, and since we were just passing by, we stopped in."

Upon hearing this, the two’s mouths curved into smiles.

The woman in red looked more smug, "So she’s got someone she’s seeing. That’s good. Is he a good one?"

Liao Yi nonchalantly replied, "He’s alright."

Chu Yin and Lin Zhiyi exchanged a glance, then quickly added, "Not just alright! Handsome and considerate, most importantly..."

Thinking about the man’s two-faced nature, Chu Yin found it hard to continue.

Lin Zhiyi continued, "That man fell for Liao Yi at first sight, and chatting away, he ended up confessing his true feelings to her."

"True feelings?" the woman in black’s voice became somewhat sharp.

"Why? Isn’t it good for men to express their true feelings?" Lin Zhiyi said.

Realizing she’d become too agitated, the woman in black quickly calmed down, "I meant no harm, just curious. Did that man start off by lying?"

Lin Zhiyi laughed, "Yes, because he fell for Liao Yi instantly and feared she wouldn’t fancy him, he lied about being an executive at the Sang Group. But in the end, his true feelings for her spilled over, so he told her everything."

Understanding Lin Zhiyi’s intention, Chu Yin quickly added, "Seeing his sincerity, Zhiyi intends to recommend him to the Second Young Master. In the future, if this man becomes successful, he’ll surely be grateful to Liao Yi."

Lin Zhiyi deliberately said, "Not just grateful, he’ll definitely like Liao Yi even more."

As they spoke, the faces of the two across from them began to tighten.

The woman in red abruptly stood up.

"What are you talking about? That’s impossible!"

Liao Yi stared into her eyes, and said coldly, "Why impossible? Being connected with the Second Young Master of the Gong Group can cut a lot of corners. Why wouldn’t he be happy? I imagine he’s thrilled to know me."

The more she spoke, the angrier the woman in red became, her face turning a deep red. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
