Right after that, they watched as Liew nglu slid into the driver's seat. When she opened the car door, she suavely said, "Let's et up again next ti, ladies."
The group stared, expressions complicated.
They suddenly realized that Liew nglu's earlier "outrageous claims" seed perfectly reasonable—just the worth of this sports car alone outvalued that guy's entire wardrobe many tis over.
A man who could afford sothing like this—his net worth, billions? Even tens of billions?
The thought was inconceivable, simply inconceivable.
For a mont, they were sowhat relieved they hadn't dissed Liew nglu earlier, but at the sa ti, felt a pang of sympathy for Zhong Yitong.
A girl who got along quite well with Zhong Yitong approached her, comforting softly, "Yitong, it seems like nglu wasn't exaggerating. That car costs two million."
"Ah, right, yeah, I think so."
Zhong Yitong had long since lost the will to fight, shrinking from humiliation, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Inside the 911, Hou Qianqian sat in the passenger seat, teasing, "nglu, why the sudden change in temperant today? Normally, you would've slapped her face left and right by now."
Liew nglu responded with an easy smile, "If you slap the clown the mont they jump out, what's the fun in that? You gotta let them prance around a bit more—it makes it all the more satisfying when you strike. Also, rember this, Qianqian: verbal cobacks are weak and fleeting; actions—actions are the most powerful form of revenge."
Hou Qianqian pursed her lips. She wanted so badly to make such showy displays in public too, but alas, she didn't own a Porsche 911, nor did she have a man like Shen Yuan.
Her own diocrity was hard enough to stomach, but seeing her girlfriends' success—it was absolutely suffocating!
"By the way, is there really no chance you'll reconcile with Nana?" Hou Qianqian asked again.
Liew nglu shook her head. "When clothes tear and holes form, no matter how much you sew them, they'll never be as they once were. Sotis it's better to simply not fix them."
"Do you regret it, then?"
"No regrets. There's just a little guilt, and a bit of remorse for losing our friendship, you know? After all, she was my closest girlfriend, practically like a sister."
Hou Qianqian's mouth twitched slightly. Yeah, right, as if she'd believe that!
Liew nglu added, "Honestly, the way things are between us now works pretty well. I don't bring her up, she doesn't bring up—we each just take care of our own business."
"....."
After dropping Hou Qianqian off at her place, Liew nglu was preparing to drive back to Puyue Bay when her phone rang—it was Qiao Lei calling.
As soon as she picked up, Qiao Lei couldn't wait to say, "How about hot pot tonight? I bought so many goodies—beef tendon balls, shrimp paste, fatty beef, tripe…."
"Wait, why hot pot again?" Liew nglu interrupted.
"What else would we eat? Plus, I bought Hai Di Lao's hot pot base. It's crazy good!"
"....."
Liew nglu was speechless. Their Puyue Bay team had agreed to host dinners every two days, rotating responsibilities, and this ti it was Qiao Lei's turn to cook.
Whenever it was her turn, Liew nglu and Long Jinghan would prepare four or five dishes, spending at least an hour or two in the kitchen. But when it ca to Qiao Lei—she'd simply opt for hot pot every single ti, shalessly cutting corners.
"Can we not do hot pot next ti?"
The other end paused for a mont before replying, "Alright, how about dry pot next ti then?"
"....."
Liew nglu knew better than to argue with soone like Qiao Lei. Frustrated at her laziness, she chastised, "All you know is how to eat, eat, eat. If it's not hot pot, then it's dry pot. Just look at how much weight you've packed on!"
Qiao Lei shot back imdiately, "Who are you calling fat? My chest is just slightly bigger than yours, that's all! How can you call fat?"
Liew nglu snorted, "We asured last ti, and you still won't admit it?"
Qiao Lei raised her voice, "That's only because your fra is bigger than mine—so yeah, maybe by two centiters. But if we're talking strictly cup size, you'd definitely lose!"
"Stubborn like a dead duck."
Not wanting to keep debating, Liew nglu changed the subject, "All you ever think about is eating. No sense of urgency, I swear. I heard yesterday that two vixens showed up at Silver Lake Bay—they've practically drained Shen Yuan dry. And here you are, still obsessed with hot pot."
Qiao Lei froze. "Silver Lake Bay? What's that?"
"You idiot, Shen Yuan moved into a new house—don't you even know that?"
