Chapter 977: [977] None are as clever as her

The others, upon hearing this, sensed something was off.

"Was it your money?" Yu Xuexian asked Gao Zhaocheng.

"It wasn’t me!" Gao Zhaocheng denied.

Song Xueling suddenly remembered who had taken out their wallet and looked towards Xie Wanying, "Dr. Xie, you—"

Tao Zhijie returned with his phone, and several seniors, having realized what was happening, quickly grabbed the person who had paid, "What are you doing!"

"I’m the one going to Teacher Lu’s place for a meal, so of course, I should pay," Xie Wanying told the seniors. She had been prepared, knowing Teacher Lu and Teacher Zhang helped support financially struggling medical students, and being almost certain she was one of those they supported, she needed to properly repay her teachers.

"Step back!" Gao Zhaocheng, seemingly angry, pushed her away.

Don’t worry, the cashier has already taken the money. Xie Wanying calculated in her mind that the seniors definitely wouldn’t manage to intervene in time.

"You give those two hundred back to her, I have it here," Yu Xuexian took out his wallet and handed two hundred to the cashier.

The cashier refused, stuffing the change back into his hand, "Comrade, we have to record every transaction, it can’t be messed up. There’re lots of people queuing behind you. If you internal folks need to split bills, please go outside and sort it out yourselves," he said, urging them to hurry up and leave.

Seizing the moment before the seniors could collect themselves, Xie Wanying quickly picked up the shopping bags with the purchases and turned to walk away, making a sign with her eyes to Doctor Song beside her: Hurry, help me out.

Startled by her series of speedy actions, Song Xueling hurriedly picked up a carton of milk with one hand and the black "Beauty" with the other, quickly following her and saying, "Let me pay for it. I’m also going to Teacher Lu’s place for dinner."

Doctor Song meant well, he probably knew she was a financially struggling student with no money, which is why he offered. Xie Wanying shook her head, "No need, I’m the one who dragged you to the teacher’s house, it’s already embarrassing enough for me."

The seniors caught up with the two of them.

"Xie Wanying, you!" Gao Zhaocheng pointed at her nose, truly angry now, "We bought these things for Teacher Lu, why should you pay for us? Believe it or not, I’ll go and complain to Teacher Tan about you later."

Senior Gao, unfiltered, threatened her by bringing up Teacher Tan to intimidate her. Xie Wanying remained composed as she replied, "Senior, I’ve said before that I won’t lie. You want me to lie that the things you bought were actually bought by us, I can’t do that. Now that I’m paying, it just so happens the problem is solved."

"You’ve solved your problem, but what about mine?" Senior Gao shouted angrily at Xie Wanying, who was persistently single-minded, "Call your Senior Cao!"

Why did Senior Gao, after bringing up Teacher Tan, want to mention Senior Cao? Xie Wanying couldn’t figure it out; she had carried things for Senior Cao, and he had never mentioned paying her.

"Is it because Senior Cao invited you for a meal?" Gao Zhaocheng angrily thought about how these juniors were getting craftier by the second.

Teacher Lu called to hurry them along. Xie Wanying walked to the side to answer, "Teacher, Doctor Song and I have bought you some fruits, we’re on our way to your place for dinner now."

"What did you buy?" Teacher Lu was a bit worried about what they might have purchased.

"Bayberries, honeydew melons, black "Beauties". Teacher, don’t worry, we got them under the pretense of treating ourselves to fruit," she cleverly replied.

Hearing her smart response, Teacher Lu laughed heartily, "I’ll start cooking for you, hurry over."

With time pressing, they all got into the car.

Yu Xuexian tried every way to get the two hundred bills back into Xie Wanying’s pocket, but she was too nimble for him and didn’t give him the chance, leaving him frustrated and sweating profusely. Through the car window, he threatened her, "I’ll tell Senior Kang on you!"
