Chapter 23: A Gift for Qin Xue

"Shut up!"

Lu Chi's temper was bad to begin with, and the people nearby didn't know why he was unhappy today.

It was clear that everyone was here this time to celebrate Qin Xue's birthday.

Logically, Lu Chi should be happy.

Behind him, Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian had already walked in.

Su Yun Jiao walked toward the interior as if she hadn't seen Lu Chi.

Lu Chi specifically had the manager prepare room 888.

This place is very spacious, enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people.

When Qin Xue came to this kind of place for the first time and saw the luxurious decorations and spacious private rooms,

Her eyes lit up.

"Lu Chi, this is really a grand gesture!"

"This time we really have to thank the sister-in-law."

"I heard Lu Chi specially prepared a surprise for the sister-in-law this time, and didn't even tell us!"

"Could it be a confession?"

One of the girls showed an expression I understood.

After all, not just anyone can arrange such a grand scene.

Unless it's someone like Lu Chi, a young master from a prominent family.

Qin Xue blushed upon hearing this: "Xiao Yi, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't cause a ruckus with the boys here."

"I'm not just spouting nonsense; Lu Chi has never held such an elaborate birthday party for any girl before, except for our little Xue."

"Isn't that right? Someone has been sucking up to Lu Chi for so long, yet probably never got a decent birthday gift."

Several girls from Class Yi glanced at Su Yun Jiao not far away.

Their faces were all full of smug satisfaction.

Qin Xue, feeling a bit embarrassed, walked over to Lu Chi, leaned close to his ear, and said: "I didn't prepare such a surprise for you on your birthday; I'm really sorry."

"It's fine; your family's financial situation isn't good, and having you give me a cake already makes me happy."

Lu Chi rubbed Qin Xue's head.

To outsiders, this action looked very intimate.

Qin Xue also lowered her head shyly.

"Lu Chi, how exactly did you prepare the birthday gift? I heard you had it ready several days ago."

"Yeah, Lu Chi, bring out the gift so we can all take a look; let us see it."

"That's right, let us take a look too! Xiao Xue, you say it's not, right? \" Look"

……

The number of people causing a commotion around them kept increasing.

One clueless person looked toward Su Yun Jiao not far away and said: "Su Yun Jiao, you say it's not, right?"

"Yeah, Su Yun Jiao, guess what gift Lu Chi gave Qin Xue."

"Someone's probably just jealous and doesn't want to say."

……

Su Yun Jiao had no interest in these.

It was just a necklace, after all.

She had already known this in her previous life.

But seeing everyone's gaze fall on her,

Su Yun Jiao could only say blandly: "A pink heart-shaped necklace."

Su Yun Jiao's words were spot-on, and Lu Chi couldn't help but lift his eyes to look at Su Yun Jiao.

He furrowed his brows.

How could Su Yun Jiao know what gift he gave Qiao Shi?

Because the gift Su Yun Jiao mentioned was ordinary, and besides, they had originally intended to embarrass Su Yun Jiao, the people around quickly began to rebut.

"How could our Lu Chi possibly give Xiao Xue such an ordinary gift?"

"Yeah, our Lu Chi would never give a necklace when he could give a ring."

"And a pink heart? I don't believe it."

……

Everyone else was rebutting Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao, however, didn't care.

She knew very well what Lu Chi had sent.

Just then, someone started saying to Lu Chi: "Lu Chi, bring out your gift so we can all take a look."

"Yeah, Lu Chi, take it out so we can look; also let her concede willingly."

The others were urging Lu Chi on.

Because of what those people just said, Lu Chi momentarily didn't know how to produce the item.

After all, he had really prepared nothing more than a pink heart-shaped necklace.

"Lu Chi, what's wrong?"

Qin Xue saw that Lu Chi's complexion wasn't looking good.

Meanwhile, the classmates nearby also noticed that Lu Chi's hand had remained in his pocket.

I'll come take a look!

The other party directly took out the necklace from Lu Chi's pocket.

When the necklace was taken out, everyone saw the pink heart necklace.

In an instant, the people around were stunned.

They probably never imagined Lu Chi would actually have prepared this necklace.

Those around remained silent.

It's for you.

Lu Chi placed it directly into Qin Xue's hand.

When Qin Xue saw the necklace, she still felt a hint of disappointment.

The people nearby, however, said: "Isn't this the limited-edition Chanel necklace from earlier? I remember it costs several thousand dollars."

Yeah, yeah, I've seen this one before—it's really valuable!

When she heard the necklace cost several thousand dollars, Qin Xue was somewhat surprised.

She never expected such a small necklace to cost several thousand dollars!

Lu Chi, thank you.

The disappointment on Qin Xue's face instantly turned to joy.

Because of the lighting, Lu Chi didn't see Qin Xue's disappointed look just now.

But Su Yun Jiao saw it clearly.

Even in her previous life, Su Yun Jiao knew that what Qin Xue liked wasn't just Lu Chi, but also his status.

Otherwise, when the Lu family ran into trouble in her previous life, Qin Xue wouldn't have chosen to accept the severance money from Lu Mu and leave Lu Chi.

Lu Chi had no idea Qin Xue's happiness was because of the necklace's value; after all, such branded necklaces meant nothing to him.

Su Yun Jiao remembered that Lu Chi had given a very good brother a pair of sneakers worth several thousand dollars.

At this moment, he looked at Qin Xue and said, "As long as you like it."

Qin Xue's face turned red.

Su Yun Jiao silently rolled her eyes in her heart.

If they want to show off their love, let them; why drag her into it?

Jiao Jiao, let's go in.

Zhou Xian supported Su Yun Jiao as they walked in.

Su Yun Jiao still had a wound on her leg, making walking a bit inconvenient.

Lu Chi's peripheral vision swept over Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian.

The two of them sat in a corner.

Everyone else was making a fuss over Lu Chi and Qin Xue, so no one noticed Zhou Xian and Su Yun Jiao sitting in the corner.

Soon, the manager outside had already brought in the drinks Lu Chi had ordered.

Young Master Lu, here's the drink you ordered, plus the fruit platter we brought for you.

The manager respectfully placed the fruit platter onto the table in the private room.

When they saw five or six beautiful waitresses follow behind, the high school students, who had never seen much of the world, widened their eyes.

Good heavens, Lu Chi, is the service at this place too good?

Yeah, they've brought out so many fruit platters, and many of the drinks are ones I've never seen before.

Lu Ge, is this wine expensive? How much does a bottle cost?

……

Sounds from around kept ringing out.

Lu Chi then said, "Today everyone can drink to their heart's content—I'm treating."
