Ye Qingcheng went to the seafood restaurant with Song Lei, Liu Liu, and Tao Zi.
She did not ask the driver of the presidential palace to send her and her roommates to the bus.
After getting off the bus, she saw Xia Jingjing and the rest standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
Xia Jingjing was dressed to the nines, wearing branded goods and holding her chin up, looking arrogant.
Song Lei pouted. “Is she going to announce to the world how rich her family is?”
Peach and Willow said nothing. In front of Xia Jingjing, they more or less felt inferior.
Seeing Ye Qingcheng and the other three, Xia Jingjing welcomed them.
“Most of the students are here. You should go in quickly. Oh, I’ll get the waiter to lead the way later. The restaurant is bigger and I’m afraid you’ll get lost.”
Song Lei almost rolled her eyes.
Everyone knew that his family was rich. Did he have to show off and look down on others?
The four of them had just arrived at the entrance of the restaurant when Xia Jingjing’s voice sounded from behind them. “Professor Luo is here!”
Ye Qingcheng and the others looked back and saw Luo Zhou pushing open the door and getting out of the car. He was wearing a white shirt and pants today, looking handsome and dignified.
Ye Qingcheng felt a little sweet when she saw him looking at her, but she did not dare to show it. She looked away after a few seconds.
Xia Jingjing was rather enthusiastic and had clearly forgotten what happened on the night of the school anniversary.
She brought Luo Zhou into the restaurant.
Ye Qingcheng and the others walked behind.
The restaurant was decorated in a luxurious manner. Liu Liu and Tao Zi looked around and were shocked.
Song Lei’s family background was good, but she had never been here.
Xia Jingjing saw their reactions from the corner of her eye. Seeing that only Ye Qingcheng was not shocked at all, she secretly pouted.
She was pretending to be calm, but she was actually panicking!
One had to know that only rich people from the high society could come to their restaurant.
Entering the room, Xia Jingjing saw that almost everyone had arrived and instructed the waiter to serve the dishes.
She walked to Luo Zhou’s side and said softly, “Professor Luo, the food here is more expensive. I’ll treat everyone to a meal tonight. You just have to eat and drink well. Don’t take out a year’s salary to treat us to a meal.”
Ye Qingcheng was not sitting with Luo Zhou. She was sitting opposite him and could not hear what Xia Jingjing had said to Luo Zhou, but from the shape of Xia Jingjing’s mouth, she could guess.
Ye Qingcheng found it funny.
With Luo Zhou’s family background, it should not be a problem for him to eat here every day, right?
‘Who was Xia Jingjing looking down on?
Luo Zhou did not look at Xia Jingjing and replied calmly, “A meal is not a problem.”
Xia Jingjing was a little unhappy seeing her good intentions go astray, but because of Luo Zhou, she did not say anything.
After the dishes were served, Xia Jingjing introduced it to everyone personally. “This dish is a goose-necked barnacle. It’s called a seafood from hell. It contains rich vitamins, proteins, and more. It costs more than ten thousand dollars per catty. It’s something that other seafood restaurants can’t eat even
if they want to.”
“This plate is a large gong. They say that rare things are precious. The large gong belongs to wild seafood and can’t be raised yet. Its taste is even more delicious than abalones.”
Xia Jingjing introduced them one by one. Every time she introduced a dish, the students would exclaim, satisfying Xia Jingjing’s vanity.
Peach and Willow held their chopsticks, not daring to take any food.
Every dish in Xia Jingjing’s mouth was very expensive. If they ate it, it might cost them several months of living expenses.
Seeing that the two of them did not dare to eat, Ye Qingcheng started to eat first. “No matter how expensive it is, it’s Professor Luo’s treat tonight. You’re not eating Xia Ji
Peach and Willow reacted. “That’s right! We’re not eating Xia Jingjing, why is she so smug?”
Ye Qingcheng tasted it. It was indeed delicious, but she had eaten too many delicacies since she was young and did not think it was special!
Xia Jingjing observed the reactions of the students at the dining table. Seeing that everyone was immersed in the delicious food, she smirked and was secretly pleased. However, when her gaze swept to Ye Qingcheng, she found that Ye Qingcheng had put down his chopsticks and was looking down at his
phone with a calm expression. Xia Jingjing’s smile disappeared.
Ye Qingcheng liked to act!
‘Who was she acting for, acting like she was not moved by the delicious food!
Ordinary people could not eat these things even if they wanted to!
Ye Qingcheng noticed Xia Jingjing’s gaze and ignored it. She stood up and went to the washroom outside.
Standing in front of the sink, Ye Qingcheng was washing her hands when the sound of high heels sounded.
Xia Jingjing stood beside Ye Qingcheng.
She looked at Ye Qingcheng coldly. “Actually, you don’t have to pretend to be reserved. Eat if you want. After today, you might not be able to eat in the future!”
Ye Qingcheng was speechless.
How did Xia Jingjing get into K University with her intelligence?
“did.” Ye Qingcheng did not want to talk to Xia Jingjing anymore. “It tastes good, but it’s not special to me.”
With that said, Ye Qingcheng walked out.
Xia Jingjing’s expression darkened when she heard Ye Qingcheng’s words. She followed Ye Qingcheng out. “What do you mean by not special? Auntie, I found that you can really act. If you think that our place is not special, then how is it special?”
“Imperial Sky.”
Imperial Sky?
That was a place where only the royal family and nobles could go. Even ordinary people with power might not be able to enter, let alone rich people.
“Auntie, you’re daydreaming!”
The moment Xia Jingjing finished her mocking words, a man in a suit walked out of the male washroom.
‘When Xia Jingjing saw the man, a friendly and obedient smile immediately appeared on her face. “Uncle Sun.”
“i
“Thank you for your praise, Uncle Sun.”
jing, I haven’t seen you for a while and you’re getting prettier.”
The man nodded and was about to return to the room when he glanced at Ye Qingcheng.
This glance made the man freeze.
“Princess Qingcheng?” The man could not believe that he would see Ye Qingcheng here.
Ye Qingcheng looked up at the man. She had never seen him before.
The man seemed to have seen Ye Qingcheng’s doubts and immediately explained, “I was ranked as one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs before the New Year and was invited to the presidential palace as a guest. I was lucky to see Princess Qingcheng’s photo.”
Ye Qingcheng nodded. “I see.”
Xia Jingjing, who was by the side, was shocked. She looked at the man who was speaking to Ye Qingcheng with a hint of flattery. This was a big customer of their restaurant and was also a well-known entrepreneur. Usually, her parents had to curry favor with him.
But now, he was flattering Ye Qingcheng.
Besides, what did he just call Ye Qingcheng?
Princess Qingcheng?
“Uncle Sun, did you get the wrong person? She’s my classmate and comes from an ordinary family!”
