章 58: Asked for It

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Haiqing was worried that Jing Yunzhao didn't have enough cash and reminded her about the extra charges, torn between paying the bill and maintaining Jing Yunzhao's pride.

Jing Yunzhao, however, didn't seem to be bothered by the extra charges. She just nodded and sat down.

Xiao Haiqing had ordered the dishes when she made the reservation, which was good since Jing Yunzhao was quite hungry by now. Since it was just the two of them, Jing Yunzhao stopped being overly polite and instructed the waiter to serve their food.

Xiao Haiqing was from a rich family and named whatever that came to mind when she made the order. As the exquisite dishes were served one by one, Xiao Haiqing began to feel anxious.

The appetisers were not too bad, but as for the main courses…

"Clam with Pearls, Jade Golden Belt, Water Dragon, Flying Dragon and Phoenix…"

Those dishes were actually sautéed scallops, garlic lobsters, steamed grouper, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall with sharks' fin.

Those were only a few of the dishes Xiao Haiqing had ordered. When Xiao Haiqing ordered the dishes, competing with Ye Qing in mind, she ordered almost all the signature dishes of Xiang Hai Restaurant. Xiang Hai Restaurant had given their dishes such fancy names that not only were they not able to tell what dish it was from its name, they couldn't even identify the dishes after tasting it. Jing Yunzhao hadn't even heard of some of the dishes before.

"Erm… Yunzhao, I feel bad letting you pay for all of this. Why don't we split the bill?" Xiao Haiqing suggested hesitantly.

"Don't worry about it, I'll pay as promised. Oh, and don't worry about the leftovers - I have two housemates who would be happy to eat them, and I am sure we could eat it for a few days if we keep them in the fridge," said Jing Yunzhao, happily eating her food.

"My bad - I only thought of trying everything without considering if we could finish it." Xiao Haiqing felt even more guilty after Jing Yunzhao comforted her.

"I'm glad you realized it. Now that you know, do start eating. Let's finish everything!" Jing Yunzhao said cheerfully without looking up from her food. Since there was no one else in the private room, she rolled up her sleeves and started eating enthusiastically.

"Here I was thinking that top students were mysterious, turns out you're like this in private," Xiao Haiqing snorted in amusement as she watched Jing Yunzhao eat. She shook her head at the way Jing Yunzhao managed to look elegant despite gobbling her food down. It would look totally different if someone else was doing it.

Looking at Jing Yunzhao enjoying her food, Xiao Haiqing gave in and reached out to take some dishes. "Slow down and leave me some food! Oh my god, this tastes amazing! I am going to have more, don't you take my food!"

The private room's door was opened as they were wolfing down the food.

"Sorry to interrupt, but there was a guest downstairs who told us to send you this 'Wealth and Prosperity'. Please enjoy," said the waitress politely as she put the dish on their table. Jing Yunzhao and Xiao Haiqing looked at the dish and realized that it was just some leftover tofu with shallots.

A guest downstairs? It could only be Ye Qing.

Before Xiao Haiqing could say anything, Jing Yunzhao passed one of the dishes beside her to the waitress and said sweetly, "please send them this, and tell the girl who sent us the dish that this dish is amazing and we would like her to try it."

Jing Yunzhao was not being generous. While the dish that she told the waitress to send was indeed an expensive dish known as Coral Abalone, what she sent was merely the sauce and garnish that was left over. It was a dish worth over a thousand and Jing Yunzhao was certain that it would provoke Ye Qing.

Jing Yunzhao never thought of showing off. She would have let Ye Qing enjoy her food peacefully had Ye Qing left her alone, but since Ye Qing chose to keep messing with her, then all Jing Yunzhao could say was that Ye Qing asked for it.

章 59: Eggs on Her Face

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

The truth was the waitress found it rather awkward to send the leftovers upstairs, and she wouldn't have done it if the girl downstairs hadn't insisted that they knew each other very well.

When Jing Yunzhao didn't get upset and told her to pass the girl a plate of leftovers instead, the waitress was amused.

It seemed like the two gangs didn't get along, but it was obvious that the gang downstairs couldn't compare to the two guests in this private room.

Especially this girl. She had a nice physique and complexion, and her classy demeanour hinted that she might be the heir of some prominent family.

The waitress noted Jing Yunzhao's instructions politely and left the private room.

"You're wicked smart. Ye Qing cares about her dignity the most and she must have been hoping that you couldn't afford to eat fancy dishes when she sent you the leftover tofu with shallots. She is so going to have egg on her face when she sees the dish that we sent! By the way, I checked before I came: The standard of the tables that Ye Qing reserved was one thousand and six hundred bucks each, meaning that that one dish that we sent is equivalent to all the dishes on her table!" Xiao Haiqing laughed happily, as if already picturing how furious Ye Qing was going to be.

"I wanted to stay out of it but she wouldn't let me. It was never my intention to mess with her," Jing Yunzhao said, smiling wickedly.

There could only be two reasons why Ye Qing picked on her.

Firstly, Jing Yunzhao's results were always the best in the whole school. Since she was in the same class as Ye Qing, her results were quite obviously better than Ye Qing's who was the commissary in charge of studies.

The second reason might be Jiang Xia.

Ye Qing having a crush on Jiang Xia was hardly a secret, but Jiang Xia had a crush on Qiao Hongye, and had been extra attentive to Jing Yunzhao simply because he considered them sisters. Someone as self-centred as Ye Qing would definitely think that something was going on between them because of that, and being defeated by someone with a background like hers only made Ye Qing feel even more insulted by Jing Yunzhao's existence.

"Has anyone told you that you've changed a lot, Jing Yunzhao? You used to only be good at studying and everyone used to bully you and get away with it, but you're different now, in a good way. You don't back down no matter how much they bully you now, and you got away from an assault that could have been a murder," Xiao Haiqing put up her thumb as she said admiringly.

"Aren't you the same? You frightened Jiang Xia just by talking to him," said Jing Yunzhao with a mischievous grin.

And she had actually become a successful career woman in her previous life. Although she was quite scandalous when it came to relationships, it didn't stop her from being so capable that nobody dared to go against her.

"Are we really going to compliment each other all night? I can feel myself blushing!" Xiao Haiqing laughed.

"Really? It must be the wine," said Jing Yunzhao smilingly and clinked her glass against Xiao Haiqing's before downing her wine.

While the atmosphere in the private room was cheerful, Ye Qing in the main hall was on the edge of losing her mind.

She was so embarrassed that she could feel herself blushing and her heart pounding.

How shameless was Jing Yunzhao to send her a dish from some random table just to humiliate her?

"What is wrong with this restaurant? Do you just send anything that anyone tells you to send? Someone else actually ate this dish before us, can you imagine how much saliva and germs there might be in here? What if the person who ate this dish has a disease?" Ye Qing demanded harshly, not caring about her image anymore.

"Stop creating a scene, Ye Qing. Our classmates are all here, it's embarrassing," Jiang Xia who was sitting next to Ye Qing frowned and said.

"Embarrassing? What is more embarrassing than being humiliated by a plate of leftovers? I sent her 'Wealth and Prosperity' out of kindness, but what did she give me in return? What didn't she order a new dish for us if she really can afford such fancy dishes? Does she think that I am some beggar to be accepting her leftovers?" Ye Qing snarled, getting even more upset at Jiang Xia's words.
