Chapter 68

~7 min read 1,293 words

The daughter wants to treat classmates to a meal; for a little snail, extending a tiny tentacle carefully is not easy; making more friends is a good thing, so Shu Shu naturally wants to satisfy.

Class 12 has a class QQ group.

Pei Muyin doesn't use QQ, has no account, so Shu Shu registered a temporary one for her and then pulled her into the class group.

From the day Shu Shu just transferred to Class 12 and instantly took first place in the grade, the Class Monitor, as group owner, set her as an administrator.

Actually, the Class Monitor originally wanted to transfer the group ownership to Shu Shu.

Oh no, even the Class Monitor's position, only after Shu Shu's repeated refusals did he give up.

Pei Muyin sat on the sofa, holding her phone with both hands, typing each word seriously.

After sending the invitation, Shu Shu helped by tagging all members below.

Hearing that Pei Muyin wanted to treat all classmates to a meal, everyone repeatedly said no need, no need, because it was really too extravagant; having drunk the beverage Shu Lingchen treated them to yesterday was already satisfying enough.

Pei Muyin lightly furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Shu Lingchen saw it, grabbed his phone and posted in the group: "Everyone must come! This is my sister's heartfelt intention; if anyone doesn't come, I'll go to school tomorrow and find each of you to talk? 【fist】【fist】【fist】"

——the intimidating power of the school bully.

Thus, this message quickly took effect, and below everyone started tapping '1' in unison.

Then naturally they discussed where to eat.

Based on the large number of classmates, everyone recommended places with lower consumption.

For example, a barbecue stall.

For example, a small restaurant.

For example, a fried chicken burger shop.

The discussion was very lively, with each saying the place they found was economical and affordable, costing hardly any money.

Until Pei Muyin replied in the group: "Everyone, the weekend venue has been decided."

The location popped up, displaying: An Shi Xingquan Restaurant.

As soon as Pei Muyin's message appeared, the group fell silent for nearly three minutes, then exploded:

"???"

"Where!!! 【sound of astonished roar jpg.】"

"Holy shit, did I see wrong? Is that the Xingquan Restaurant I often see in An Shi local channel news? Or is it just a coincidence same name?!"

"I just saw on the school tieba yesterday that Class 1's Chu Lian's birthday celebration would be at Xingquan Restaurant, and someone below explained that even a regular table at Xingquan costs several hundred thousand."

"Several hundred thousand, is that even Chinese characters I know?"

"Although I really want to see if the food is made of gold, Mu Yin classmate, this is really too, too expensive; let's not go, change the place."

"The places we just discussed above are all fine; you can pick any one."

"Yes yes, we've received your good intentions."

"..."

"Sister."

Pei Muyin asked Shu Shu for help, and Shu Shu also saw the group message.

These kids refused because Xingquan's consumption is too high; even though they already knew Pei Muyin's family is well-off, they still held the idea that no matter how rich someone is, you can't just take advantage of them.

And the daughter treats everyone as friends; since she wants to treat them, she doesn't want to treat them casually.

Shu Shu took the daughter's phone and, in a 'act first, report later' style, helped her reply: "Tomorrow night at seven, Xingquan Restaurant, the 【Rising Sun】 private room has been booked, everyone, don't miss it~"

Having said that, she quickly went offline.

…

Saturday.

Class 12's students arrived at Xingquan Restaurant in a scattered manner.

One by one, they stood at the entrance, all heads raised in unison, their eyes showing the same shock.

There's no way; the scene before them was simply too luxurious.

It's no surprise that Xingquan Restaurant could be listed as one of An Shi's landmarks.

In the deepening night, Xingquan stood like a dazzling prosperous oasis; living up to its name 'restaurant', its decoration style is distinctly antique, grand and dignified.

Tall doors, with a red carpet stretching out, luxury cars parked like swimming dragons, and the attendants at the side door would proactively come forward to help park.

This is entirely another class, a prosperous world they've never encountered.

"You know? I told my parents today I don't need dinner made, because a classmate is treating us at Xingquan Restaurant; they said if I want to sneak out to play, just say it straight, no need to lie, they almost grabbed a feather duster to whip me."

"Wu wu, I really dare not go in."

"Me too..."

Thus the crowd looked at each other, hesitating, and for a long time still didn't go inside.

Shu Shu seemed to have anticipated this, and had Shu Lingchen come out to meet them.

"Come on, why are you all standing at the door? We're not going to eat here."

A group of people thus followed Shu Lingchen nervously.

After entering, the shock intensified.

Unlike the classical style outside, stepping into the bright hall, there is extremely modern marble flooring, a high vaulted ceiling, a huge crystal chandelier hanging down, dazzling enough to hurt the eyes, and on the four walls can be seen artistic oil paintings everywhere.

"This doesn't look like a place to eat at all; is this a palace?!"

Shu Shu and Pei Muyin, after seeing the staff arrange all the seats in the private room, also came out to greet them.

They saw Class 12's students and another group from San Zhong coincidentally bumping into each other head-on.

Who it was goes without saying.

This weekend, besides the Class One students coming to celebrate Chu Lian's birthday, no one from Third Middle would appear at Xingquan.

The people of Yi Ban didn't all show up; more than ten were absent. Presumably, those who came are the ones who have a better relationship with Chu Lian.

The two sides had no desire to talk, merely brushing past each other.

…

Chu Lian's private room.

As soon as they entered, murmurs started.

"Although it's not the first time I've come here, each time I come, I'm surprised by the luxury of Star Spring."

"Chu Lian, this is all thanks to you; if it weren't for your birthday, we wouldn't have the chance to come here."

Chu Lian curled her lips and smiled: "It should be me thanking you all, for being willing to celebrate my birthday with me."

This is Chu Lian's third birthday at Star Spring.

Although she has a house in Yujingyuan and daily extravagant expenses, the important reason that lets her Eldest Young Lady persona stand firm and makes everyone firmly believe is that she can come to Star Spring Restaurant to treat the whole class to a meal.

Actually, just now seeing Shu Lingchen, Chu Lian's heart skipped a beat.

But upon thinking, the consumption card was in her hand, with no identity information on it; Star Spring only recognizes the card, not the person. Moreover, she heard people say that just now Class 12 was treated by Pei Muyin, not Shu Lingchen, so she immediately put her mind at ease.

She also has another important purpose today; she finally managed to persuade Shi Jin to come to Star Spring to eat together.

Her relationship with Shi Jin is lukewarm; although it's closer than with others, he will accept her things and study together with her, but always falls short of the final step.

She wants to use this birthday to make Shi Jin clearly realize that she is a wealthy young lady, worthy of his status as a rich young master.
