Chapter 1416: Chapter 1415: Showing Off

Gu Joy chuckled, "If there’s a chance, I’d love to try it out."

Lu Xinxin pursed her lips daintily and then said with a smile, "Junior sister, the food at those places isn’t cheap, a single meal can cost thousands of yuan."

"Really? That does sound quite expensive," Gu Joy nodded in agreement.

"But no worries, if I go next time, I’ll let you know, junior sister, and we can go together," Lu Xinxin said with seeming generosity.

Seemingly very generous.

Gu Joy didn’t think much of it; after all, whatever others say, one can’t just shut them up. All she needs to do now is to do her own part well.

But Yuan Wen didn’t see it that way, this was clearly showing off.

Hmph, laughable, probably doesn’t know about Gu Joy’s family situation.

However, she also didn’t want to speak up; she’d just wait to give a fierce retort when the time came.

She had long been fed up with the senior sister’s pretenses, but seeing Gu Joy remain calm and collected, she didn’t want to stir trouble and spoil her own appetite.

Zhou Yanlin frowned slightly, then tilted his head towards Gu Joy and said, "Whenever you want to eat, I’ll take you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Joy replied with a beaming smile, "Sure."

Lu Xinxin, who overheard this, went dark in the face. She had intended to embarrass Gu Joy, but now the tables were turned, and she was infuriated.

She saw Zhou Yanlin looking at Gu Joy with genuine concern, and bubbles of irritation formed in her heart.

Pressing her lips together, she lowered her head and picked at her food, but the taste was no longer as delicious as at the beginning.

A faint smile lingered on Gu Joy’s face, and she felt a twinge of regret for coming along. Wasn’t the food at the school cafeteria good enough?

Yuan Wen chuckled unkindly upon hearing Zhou Yanlin’s offer. Indeed, Zhou the Handsome is considerate, thinking how Lu Xinxin’s face must’ve been slapped painfully.

Someone else realized the atmosphere was a bit off and called out, "Eat up, eat up! Today the meal’s on Boss Zhou, let’s get our money’s worth."

Everyone was amused by his remark and started eating happily again.

Lu Xinxin, seeing Zhou Yanlin keep serving Gu Joy food, was so irritated she was grinding her teeth. It was unbearably irksome, every time she looked, she would feel annoyed.

But Gu Joy had now officially made an enemy of her.

Lu Xinxin was naturally very proud and arrogant, and she couldn’t stand this kind of humiliation.

She thought to herself bitterly, she wouldn’t let Gu Joy have it easy from now on.

Finally, the meal ended, and Zhou Yanlin settled the bill. He then said to everyone, "Those with plans can disperse now."

After saying that, he turned to Gu Joy and said, "I’ll take you to a place."

Hearing this, people teased, "So Boss Zhou is afraid we’ll disturb him, fair enough, we do shine rather bright as a bunch of thousand-watt bulbs."

Before Zhou Yanlin could respond, Lu Xinxin suddenly clutched her stomach and slowly crouched down.

Seeing this, someone asked with concern, "Classmate Lu, what’s wrong?"

Lu Xinxin gritted her teeth and furrowed her brows, looking very in pain.

Zhou Yanlin also sensed something was off, he bent down and asked, "Xin Xin, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Yan Lin, I might have had some cold drinks earlier, and now it feels... my stomach hurts," Lu Xinxin said in pain.

Zhou Yanlin’s brow furrowed slightly; how could this happen?

After all, it was he who invited them out for a meal, he felt responsible, so he said, "I’ll take you to the hospital right now."
