Chapter 99: Let’s Be Rich

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Although Auntie Ning’s illness had been cured, the chemotherapy and surgery during this period of time had made her entire body feel particularly weak.

After saying a few words, she could no longer open his eyes.

Ning Xiaoyu’s stomach growled and her face turned red.

Ye Xiaofci smiled and said, “You must be hungry. I’m also hungry. I’ll take you to eat.”

Ten minutes later, Ye Xiaofei brought Ning Xiaoyu to a restaurant that looked decent.

Ning Xiaoyu stood at the door and said, “Brother Xiaofei, there’s a canteen in the hospital. The food there is very cheap.”

Ye Xiaofei replied, “Silly girl, this is the first time I’m treating you to a meal. Of course I’ll treat you to something good.”

Ning Xiaoyu shook her head vigorously, “No need, no need. The things here must be very expensive.”

Ye Xiaofei’s heart could not help but ache. Ning Xiaoyu and her mother must have had a hard time these past few years. She was in the prime of her youth, but now she was tired of life.

“What do you mean expensive? I have money. I will never let you live a hard life in the future.”

As the two of them were talking, a few young men around the age of eighteen or nineteen walked over.

“Ning Xiaoyu! Why are you here?” A young boy quickly walked up to him, his face filled with surprise.

Ning Xiaoyu’s face lit up as she said, “Li Zhen, I…I’m here to eat.”

The boy called Li Zhen was about 1.8 meters tall and was dressed in branded sportswear. He seemed to come from a good family. At that moment, he said to Ning Xiaoyu warmly, “You always refuse when we ask you out for dinner. Since we happened to meet, let’s go cat together.”

“No… No, thank you. I’m with my brother.” Ning Xiaoyu quickly shook her head and refused.

A girl with a sharp chin curled her lips and said in a strange tone, “Aiyo, Ning Xiaoyu, a poor girl like you actually came here to eat? Your brother? I know you’re the only one in your family. What’s wrong? Did you hook up with a rich guy?”

Ning Xiaoyu’s face flushed red as she stammered, “Hu Li, don’t talk nonsense. Brother Xiaofei used to live in my house and I’ve always treated him as my brother.”

Hu Li giggled and said, “To need to rent a place at your house, how poor must he be? You guys can still come here to eat. It’s really funny.”

Ye Xiaofei could not help but frown. This woman called Hu Li was really shameless. He did not know what kind of grudge she had with Ning Xiaoyu.

Li Zhen interrupted Hu Li and said, “Hu Li, can’t you speak properly? We’re all classmates. Do you have to always be so sarcastic?”

Hu Li raised her eyebrows and said with her eyes wide open, “Li Zhen, I’m warning you. Don’t keep thinking about Ning Xiaoyu. If you piss me off, we’ll be done.”

Li Zhen’s face stiffened, and he quickly smiled at Hu Li and said, “Lili, don’t be angry. We’re classmates after all. It’ll be difficult for us to meet again at university. Now that we’ve met, it’s normal for us to have a meal together.”

Hu Li snorted and said, “Since I see your sincerity, let’s bring her along.”

His attitude was as if he was giving alms to Ning Xiaoyu.

Ning Xiaoyu did not look angry at all, only embarrassed. She saw Ye Xiaofei’s angry face at first glance, and it was obvious that he was about to lose his temper. Ning Xiaoyu quickly grabbed Ye Xiaofei’s hand and begged, “Brother Fei, they arc my classmates, don’t…”

Ye Xiaofei frowned, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart. If he dealt with Hu Li because he was angry, it would be difficult for Ning Xiaoyu to get along with her classmates in the future, so he could only temporarily suppress his anger.

“You guys go ahead and eat. Brother Xiaofei and I will go eat by ourselves.” Ning Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief and rejected her classmate.

“Did you hear that? They don’t want to eat with us. Let’s just go ourselves.”

Hu Li then said arrogantly, “Let me tell you, my dad is friends with the lobby manager here. I specially took my dad’s gold card and got a 20% discount here.”

Li Zhen immediately said, “Lili is really amazing.”

Hu Li said even more proudly, “That’s right, how can I be compared to that poor girl? If they wanted to eat here, they would at most eat in the hall. Because you are my classmate, I’ll add an extra dish for you later, so that you won’t eat too poorly and embarrass me as a classmate, right? Haha…”

Amidst the laughter, Hu Li led the way into the restaurant. The other students were on good terms with Hu Li. Although they did not mock Ning Xiaoyu, they did not show any kindness to her.

“Brother, let’s eat somewhere else.” Ning Xiaoyu sighed lightly and turned to Ye Xiaofei with a smile.

Ye Xiaofei snorted and said, “Let’s eat here.”

“Brother, don’t be like them. Hu Li isn’t a bad person. It’s just that her boyfriend, Li Zhen, used to… have feelings for me, so she keeps getting jealous and causing trouble for me.”

Ye Xiaofei frowned and asked, “Do you have any feelings for that Li Zhen?”

“No! No!” Ning Xiaoyu shook her head repeatedly. “I just treat him as a classmate. I’ve never had such thoughts. I’ve just graduated from high school and haven’t thought of dating yet.”

“Oh!” Ye Xiaofei nodded and then said with a straight face, “If you want to date in the future, you have to tell me first. If he can’t get past me, he can dream of taking my sister away.”

“I don’t want to be in a relationship.” Ning Xiaoyu pouted playfully.

Ye Xiaofei said, “In that case, we have to eat here. I must help avenge you.”

Ning Xiaoyu’s pouting lips became even higher. “Brother Xiaofei…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t fight with them. Didn’t they say that you’re poor? Then I’ll show them what it means to be rich today. I want to let that little fox with a pointy mouth and monkey-like cheeks know that she can’t compare to our Xiaoyu in any way.”

Ye Xiaofei said as he dragged Ning Xiaoyu into the restaurant.

Hu Li smiled in surprise and said, “Haha, you guys actually came in. Waiter, find a seat for them in the hall. Add another dish later and put it on my tab.”

Ye Xiaofei ignored Hu Li and the others and said to the waiter, “Give us a private room.”

Hu Li pursed her lips and said, “Oh, you guys are still pretending. Do you know that the private rooms here have a minimum cost? 880 is the minimum standard. Can you afford it? By the way, there are still private rooms for 8,800 yuan. Do you want to go? Haha…”

Ning Xiaoyu was shocked. She was afraid that Ye Xiaofei would be angry, so she quickly said, “Let’s go to the hall.”

Ye Xiaofei snorted and said, “Waiter, I want the private room that costs eight thousand eight hundred!”
