  Shi Haoyu realized that she had actually become prettier after graduation.

  Even the most ordinary clothes weren’t able to hide her beauty.

  As he stared at her, he suddenly felt a wave of cold air hitting him. As he followed the aura to its source, he saw Si Zhengting’s deep, abyssal gaze.

  Shi Haoyu’s heart skipped a beat.

  Si Zhengting’s gaze darkened.

  He recalled how, when he had gone to look for Zhuang Nainai immediately after returning from his studies abroad, he had seen this boy by Zhuang Nainai’s side.

  At that point in time, he had experienced the excruciating pain of betrayal.

  He had remained single for her for the past five years.

  Yet, she had quickly gotten herself a boyfriend upon entering university.

  His thoughts had uncontrollably flown to how they were probably deeply in love. Did she bring him his breakfast, did they go for revisions together, and did she chase after him while excitedly calling his name?

  At the thought of this, his heart hardened, and he felt more and more displeased with Shi Haoyu.

  He narrowed his eyes and lowered his head. Giving the serviette on the table a flick, he spread it out on Zhuang Nainai’s lap.

  It took him just a moment to do this, but in the split second that he had bent over, Shi Haoyu had uncontrollably gazed at Zhuang Nainai once more.

  Just as Shi Haoyu had brought himself around, he felt his thigh being violently pinched!

  Shi Haoyu took a deep breath, the pain surging through him. Turning his head, he saw Xue Rong glaring at him.

  The class representative, sensing that the atmosphere was changing for the worse, quickly spoke to smoothen out everyone’s mood. “Damn, Haoyu, you’re earning millions a year? The Imperial Group sure treats its employees differently! Come, everyone, order to your heart’s content! He’s going to pay for the bill today, so don’t let him save any money!”


  With that, he passed the menu to Teacher Zhang.

  The food at this holiday resort was on the pricier side — food was never in the tens, but cost from the hundreds to the thousands. Everyone was merciful when ordering, but when it came to Xie Yutong, she smiled. “Let’s have the most expensive dish over here!”


  The attendant smiled in return. “It’s lobster season now……”


  A lobster cost more than a thousand dollars each, and there were around 20 people present at the gathering.

  Xie Yutong immediately looked toward Xie Yutong and Shi Haoyu. “There are over 20 people today. If everyone eats a lobster each, it’ll be 30,000 dollars. Xue Rong, can you bear to part with your money?”


  Xue Rong laughed. “Of course, as long as everyone has fun!”


  Xie Yutong, unhappy that she hadn’t been able to put Xue Rong in a spot, passed the menu over to Zhuang Nainai. Pressing her voice low, she said, “Order something expensive!”


  Xue Rong, beaming, added, “Oh, yes, order something expensive! The food here is really not bad. Zhuang Nainai, have you tried the shark’s fin and bird’s nest soup from this restaurant? How about ordering a bowl of bird’s nest porridge for each of us here?”


  Everything she said dripped with disdain for Zhuang Nainai.

  Hearing this, Zhuang Nainai swiftly shifted her gaze to the menu. By hook or by crook, she was going to slaughter Xue Rong today!

  She curled her lips as she searched the menu for something expensive, but she soon realized that the most expensive item on the menu was worth only 10,000 dollars.

  Oh well…… having stayed with Si Zhengting for a few months, she had subconsciously changed her views about money.

  Having found nothing that was “troublesome” enough, Zhuang Nainai immediately beamed and passed the menu on to Si Zhengting. “You order.”


  With that, she added in a soft voice audible only to the two of them, “Order something expensive and slaughter them!”


  Her voice had a gritty tone to it, but her gaze was lively and ever-morphing. That made Si Zhengting curl his lips into an unnoticeable upward angle.

  Si Zhengting then narrowed his eyes. Shooting a glance at Xue Rong and Shi Haoyu, a fierce glint flickered in his eyes.
