Chapter 220: Elder Bai is an authority wherever he goes; the Bai family mistook the fake for a real gem!_2
Bai Lian didn’t really move her chopsticks much, only blanched a few greens she had ordered and leisurely twirled her legs as she ate noodles.
Later, it turned out she did the right thing, because
Pu Xiaohan was flipping the beef rolls in the pot with public chopsticks, scanning the group, “Whose meat is this?”
“Not me.” This person’s eyes darted away.
Zhang Shize, stroking his stomach, spoke up warily, “Neither is it mine.”
“Your intestines, you eat them…” Someone was accusing another.
“Don’t talk nonsense, this damn thing is clearly your intestines!”
The group jostled and shoved each other, full of suspicion and blame.
Oh, not a single person dared to admit that the meat in the pot was theirs.
In the end, Bai Lian and Yang Lin cleared up after everyone, and there was practically no food left in their private room.
Lu Lingxi was surprised when she came to check on them.
School was still in session on Friday, so after the meal, the group of high school seniors dispersed.
As the evening drew in, Lu Lingxi arranged for the students to go home, “Remember to report in the group chat once you’re home.”
Bai Lian and Yang Lin walked at the back. Bai Lian hadn’t brought her backpack that day; the hot pot restaurant was warm, and she hadn’t put on her school uniform, just casually carrying it, “Do you know where your family’s household registration book is?”
Yang Lin was slightly startled.
She tilted her head, her thick bangs nearly covering her eyes, revealing only her pallid face.
She opened her mouth as if to say something but ultimately didn’t speak, simply following Bai Lian and continuing to walk slowly forward.
Bai Lian seemed to have brought it up casually.
There were no further questions after that.
Yang Lin let out a sigh of relief.
Zhang Shize’s house was near the school, and he walked home. Opening the door, he saw Yan Lu and his mother sitting at a table eating.
Zhang Shize’s dad had been away on a business trip for several days, and he had grown accustomed to his dad being gone for a month at a time.
“Taking advantage of my absence, the two of you sneakily enjoyed so much delicious food,” Zhang Shize looked incredulously at the full table of dishes, “Mom!”
His mother rarely cooked, to the point that he had to buy breakfast for her every morning even though he got up early!
Zhang’s mom rolled her eyes and then looked at Yan Lu with a smiling face, “Xiaolu, go ahead and eat, don’t mind this fool.”
She picked up a peeled shrimp for Yan Lu with her own chopsticks.
