193: Chapter 193 The Old Exchange (3)_1 193: Chapter 193 The Old Exchange (3)_1 It could be because of the spiritual energy that Situ Xin exuded, but Li Naixin and Qian Yu took a liking to her from the first glance they caught of her.
Of course, their fondness wasn’t the romantic type; they truly saw Situ Xin as a younger sister at heart.
Having Situ Che and Loo Jie, Situ Xin’s older brothers, around, they wouldn’t dare entertain any inappropriate thoughts about Situ Xin.
“Xiao Xin, wanna join us for a al?” Qian Yu ignored Liu Qianxue and turned his head to ask Situ Xin directly.
“No, thanks, we’re having a class reunion today.
Maybe next ti.” Situ Xin declined.
Had it been any other day that wasn’t a class reunion, she would have agreed to dine with Qian Yu and Li Naixin in a heartbeat.
She much preferred their company over that of Liu Qianxue.
“Alright then, we’ll wait for next ti.
Next ti, your Naixin brother will treat you to a al, and afterwards, your Yu brother will take you to play with rocks,” Li Naixin said without insisting further, his response as straightforward as ever.
“Humph, sounds like you just want to play.
Don’t use Xiao Xin as an excuse.
If those two find out, you’re going to suffer,” warned Qian Yu, prompting Li Naixin to flinch at the thought of Situ Che and Loo Jie’s disciplinary actions.
They had all been through their fair share of scruffs.
Watching their interaction, Situ Xin said with a smile, “Sure, I’ll rember that you two owe a al.
As for playing with rocks, I’m quite interested, so let’s go together next ti.” Situ Xin knew that by “playing with rocks” they ant gambling on stone, sothing she had tried in her past life.
Back then, her luck had been rather poor, with few winning gambles.
She now wanted to test her luck in this new life.
Since everyone from Situ Xin’s class, except for Liang Ruobing and Jiang Chao, had arrived, the gathering couldn’t fit at a single table.
Fortunately, the private rooms Situ Xin designed could be combined to accommodate adjacent ones, making them perfect for small gatherings.
“These private rooms are really beautiful.” “Yes, they’re even nicer than those at five-star restaurants,” exclaid the classmates as they walked into the VIP room that could only be reserved by gold card mbers.
So of the classmates from modest backgrounds felt slightly out of place from the mont they walked in and forced themselves to stay calm, keeping their nervousness from showing on their faces.
Situ Xin found a spot close by and sat down.
As soon as she did, Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao took seats beside her.
Liu Qianxue, who had co specifically for Yu Qihao, quickly scooted next to him as soon as he sat down.
Then, in what she believed to be a sweet voice, she said to Yu Qihao, “Brother Qihao, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you.
Have you missed ?”
Goosebumps broke out over Situ Xin’s skin at the sound of Liu Qianxue’s voice.
Not one to suffer discomfort, she touched her arm and, without looking at Liu Qianxue, said directly, “Talk normally.”
“You, what business is it of yours how I talk?” Liu Qianxue, who was already annoyed by being ignored by Qian Yu and Li Naixin, jumped up from her seat at Situ Xin’s comnt.
“Of course, it’s my business.
You can’t hear how your own tone sounds, but if you did, you’d understand how unbearable you sound.
Honestly, if you keep talking in that tone, none of us will need to eat; we could just head ho,” Situ Jin jumped in to support Situ Xin.
“You, you all.” Liu Qianxue had never been so publicly humiliated before, her hand trembling with rage as she pointed at Situ Jin.
“Xiao Xue, sit down.
We just started ordering food,” Liu Zhengyang, worried that his sister might do sothing outrageous, stuffed the nu that he had initially prepared for Situ Xin into Liu Qianxue’s hands.
If the gathering had been at a regular restaurant, Liu Zhengyang would have definitely arranged for a set al at a fixed price.
However, having just inquired with the waiter, he discovered that the minimum price for a table at Broadway was 6666 yuan, which far exceeded his budget.
Therefore, he decided to order a la carte instead.
Liu Zhengyang figured that even if they ordered individually, it wouldn’t exceed the minimum price for booking a table.
Liu Qianxue, seeing the nu in her hand and the look her brother gave her, sat down reluctantly, flipping through the nu as if to vent her frustration.
“Brother Qihao, is there anything you particularly like to eat?” Although still annoyed inside, she refrained from using her affected sweet tone.
“I’m not fussy,” Yu Qihao said flatly.
Although Yu Qihao kept up appearances due to the slight connection between his family and the Liu Family, he truly didn’t care for Liu Qianxue.
“Then I’ll order,” said Liu Qianxue, who, once Yu Qihao ntioned he was easygoing, did not bother asking anyone else and began ordering from the nu.
Their table was distinctly different from the lively atmosphere of the other guests sharing and discussing the nu.
Obviously, Liu Zhengyang also felt sothing was amiss.
Frowning, he said to Liu Qianxue, who was intently studying the nu, “Xiao Xue, pick a few dishes, and after you’re done, pass the nu around so everyone else can choose sothing.”
However, Liu Qianxue, upon hearing her brother’s words, did not even lift her head as she responded, “We’re the hosts, why should we let others order the dishes?” Saying this, she signaled the waiter to co over and take the order.
“Master, I really dislike this person, Baibai does not like her,” Baibai’s voice communicated telepathically with Situ Xin while Liu Qianxue was ordering.
This ability to speak with Situ Xin in the space was a new feature Baibai gained after its cultivation level increased recently.
“She is indeed quite unpleasant,” Situ Xin candidly replied.
Under normal circumstances, Situ Xin remained a dispassionate observer towards the people around her, indifferent to their virtues or faults, aning she usually wouldn’t judge soone’s character.
Liu Qianxue might be, aside from Liang Ruobing, the person she disliked most at school.
Hearing her master agree with its sentint, Baibai’s tone beca excited as it said, “Master, do you want to teach her a lesson?”
While Situ Xin was conversing with Baibai, she still kept an ear out for what was happening outside, listening as Liu Qianxue continuously rattled off one dish after another.
When Liu Qianxue had listed around twenty dishes, Situ Xin spoke to Baibai in the space, “That’s enough, you don’t need to teach her a lesson; she is about to learn one on her own.” The nus at Broadway didn’t list prices, sothing known to all mbers before joining, and many who owned mbership cards didn’t care about the cost of a al.
But the situation for the Liu siblings was different.
From what Situ Xin rembered about the prices Liu Yuxiang reported when choosing the nu, the cost of Liu Qianxue’s table was not going to be low at all.
