Chapter 194: Chapter 194 The Old Exchange (4)_1
Situ Xin was waiting to see how the Liu siblings would handle the bill after the gathering at Broadway, as the restaurant didn’t practice the courtesy of tabbing orders.
"Liu Qianxue, I think you should order less. Don’t let it all go to waste in the end," Situ Jin said. Xiao Muli also knew the prices at Broadway, but they were not going to voice a reminder. They were quite eager to see Liu Qianxue embarrass herself. However, Yu Qihao still cared about saving face and spoke out to remind her.
But his warning fell on deaf ears for Liu Qianxue, who responded carefreely, "Brother Qihao, it’s fine. My brother and I can afford this much."
Well, since she said they could afford it, Yu Qihao closed his mouth. But this earned Situ Jin’s mockery, "Qihao, you really like to meddle in others’ affairs, don’t you?"
After the dishes were ordered, they were served in no time. The speed of service at Broadway was highly valued by Situ Xin.
Those who dined at Broadway were either rich or noble; the clientele wouldn’t mind if the prices were a bit high. What they did mind was the service. If one were to spend a lot of money on a meal, a slow service would definitely displease the patrons.
"Mm, the dishes here really taste good. I should come often in the future," Liu Qianxue remarked appreciatively as she ate.
Situ Xin ate the dishes Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao served her and thought to herself, "The taste is indeed good. Let’s see if you can still say such things after you’ve eaten and the bill arrives."
Everyone was satisfied with the meal, and after dinner, they discussed where to go for fun. "I want to go sing," one classmate said.
"I heard the billiards room here is pretty good; I want to play pool," another classmate suggested.
The class monitor, seeing everyone stating their preferences, felt a headache coming on. Usually, the headache was due to a lack of options for leisure activities, but now it was because there were too many choices.
Situ Xin, witnessing the ongoing debate, also felt a headache. She didn’t enjoy any of the activities they were discussing. "Alright, stop arguing. How about this: everyone splits up and decides for themselves what they want to do."
Situ Xin didn’t join the others for the activities. Instead, she excused herself and went to a resting room at Broadway that Liu Yuxiang had specifically arranged for her.
The resting room was furnished exactly to Situ Xin’s tastes. As soon as she arrived, someone brought her the tea and pastries that she loved.
Not long after Situ Xin settled in the resting room, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang arrived at Broadway, having been informed of her presence.
As Liu Yuxiang opened the door to the resting room, he complained to Situ Xin, "Master, you’ve been so busy lately; I haven’t seen you for such a long time. The moment I got the message that you were at Broadway, I rushed over."
"Miss, how come you didn’t let us know before coming to Broadway? It would have been good to inform the staff," Xia Yujie said, as calm and steady as ever, which was a complete contrast to Liu Yuxiang’s personality.
Ignoring the chattering Liu Yuxiang, Situ Xin spoke to Xia Yujie, "I came for a class reunion, and since someone else was treating, I didn’t notify you. Hehe, you can consider this visit to Broadway like a secret inspection." In this life, with the care of her family and friends, Situ Xin was no longer as cold as in her previous life. Sometimes, she would show a different side to the people around her.
After Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang arrived, Situ Xin inquired about the recent happenings with Dragon Society and the latest developments in Capital City.
Hearing their report, Situ Xin felt relieved. There were still many things happening in Capital City, like the Liu Family stirring things up after their return. However, their covert maneuvers were still under Situ Xin’s control. "You two need to keep an eye on the Liu Family’s movements for me. If there is any unusual activity, you must inform me."
"Yes, Miss, I got it," Xia Yujie replied.
After talking with Xia Yujie for over three hours, Situ Xin’s mobile phone rang. "Hello, Jin, what’s up?" The call was from Situ Jin.
"The gathering has ended; it’s time to go home." Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao were all worried about Situ Xin. Previously, they disagreed with her request to be alone, but they knew her temperament well—once she decided on something, it was hard for anyone to stop her.
"It ended so soon? I’ll be right down then."
"Miss, this is the bill for your class’s expenses tonight." As soon as Situ Xin hung up the phone, Xia Yujie presented the bill that he had asked a waiter to bring up for the class reunion expenses at Broadway. "How should we handle your class’s bill? Should we give a discount?"
Understanding the implication behind Xia Yujie’s words, Situ Xin took the bill and said, "No need for a discount, just charge the original price." What she didn’t voice was, "I’m already not overcharging them, why would I give them a discount?"
Situ Xin glanced at the bill in her hand, and when she saw the number on the back, her mood was incredibly cheerful. Looking at that number, she felt as if she could already see Liu Qianxue’s displeased expression. Situ Xin found herself feeling childish, getting so excited over such a trivial matter.
When Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang heard Situ Xin’s words, they exchanged glances. It seemed someone had annoyed their mistress (master). They were both curious about who was bold enough to provoke their mistress (master).
After looking over it, Situ Xin handed the bill back to Xia Yujie, "Just charge according to this bill. I’ll head down now and find you at the headquarters later; I have something for you."
Upon hearing that Situ Xin had something for them, Liu Yuxiang’s eyes lit up. After years of knowing her, he recognized that anything from his master was a rare treasure. "Master, what good things are you giving us?"
Liu Yuxiang was eager to know what the good things were, but Situ Xin didn’t respond and simply walked out.
