Treat to a Meal? Make Yu Wan'er Suffer a Big Loss!

"No class this afternoon... Yu-teacher, would you like to come to my place and tutor me?"

Jiang Che's lingering voice rang out behind Yu Wan'er.

Yu Wan'er was carrying her small backpack, ready to get into Ye Mengyao's car. Usually, on weekends, Yu Wan'er spent her time with Ye Mengyao.

She saved money whenever she could, and freeloaded whenever she could.

After all, the Ye family was wealthy, and could easily afford to support one more freeloading "little rice bug" like her.

"You... Jiang Che, I have things to do this afternoon!"

Yu Wan'er instinctively wanted to refuse. Go to Jiang Che's house to tutor him?

Wouldn't that be like a lamb entering a tiger's den? She had completely seen through this awful guy now!

"Oh? Is that so? What a shame then!"

Jiang Che licked his lips, chuckling softly.

"Since the Top Student doesn't want to help an Underachiever like me... then never mind! Top Students don't understand the pain of a Poor Student, you know~"

Yu Wan'er: "..."

What a classic guilt trip!

Yu Wan'er was a Contrasting Girl. Although she was extremely cunning and materialistic deep down, she gave others the impression of being soft, cute, beautiful, kind, and a truly good student.

That's why she was so popular. At least... no one except Jiang Che had seen Yu Wan'er's other side.

Yu Wan'er was now in a difficult position. "Hmm... alright then! But I only have two hours to tutor you!"

Better maintain her persona for now!

"Then I should thank Yu-teacher. You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Shall we go eat lunch together?"

Yu Wan'er's nails were almost digging into her flesh, but she still put on an innocent act, even gently biting her finger.

"This... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

A natural actress!

"There's a new Chinese restaurant that just opened across the skybridge. How about we go eat there?"

Yu Wan'er became conflicted. She was indeed hungry... hunger was hard to bear, and she had long had enough of that feeling.

After much deliberation, the Little Loli nodded heavily.

Anyway, once she finished eating, she could just find an excuse to slip away. No matter how much of a scoundrel Jiang Che was, he couldn't possibly grab her in the middle of the street, right?

Plus, she'd get a free meal! Score!

Ye Mengyao, who had been ignored, now stepped forward. The relationship between Yu Wan'er and Jiang Che was clearly unusual...

Ye Mengyao inexplicably felt a pang of jealousy, and it was for her favorite, best friend!

So Ye Mengyao directly followed along. "I want to go too!"

Jiang Che glanced at her. This Miss Ye... she really was infuriating to look at!

As Fated Female Leads, there was no doubt about Ye Mengyao and Yu Wan'er's beauty.

The main thing was... this kind of vibrant, energetic young girl had too much of a destructive power over men.

No man could refuse a beautiful 18-year-old girl. They were beautiful and full of vitality.

Liking them was one thing, but his aloof persona couldn't crumble.

"Heh heh... Is Miss Ye planning to freeload?"

Ye Mengyao seemed determined to come, directly linking her arm through Yu Wan'er's.

"I'm going to eat with Wan'er, is that a problem?"

Jiang Che smiled faintly. She took the bait!

"Alright then, if you go, then let Yu Wan'er pay!"

Jiang Che's words made Yu Wan'er's expression change slightly.

Me... pay?

Where would she get the money to pay?!

Although she didn't know how expensive that Chinese restaurant was, any restaurant Jiang Che took an interest in... definitely wouldn't be cheap!

She understood!

Jiang Che was doing this on purpose; he wanted to embarrass her!

Sure enough, Ye Mengyao felt absolutely nothing about paying. In her eyes... spending money was simply a matter of swiping a card.

When Misses went out, they never looked at the price!

"Hmph, it's just a Chinese restaurant, isn't it? It's not like we can't afford it!"

"Right, my dear Wan'er!"

Ye Mengyao took Yu Wan'er's soft, delicate hand.

"Mmm," Yu Wan'er nodded, her voice trembling slightly.

The newly opened Chinese restaurant was incredibly luxurious, clearly indicating that dining there would be quite expensive.

"You two… Yaoyao-jie, why don't you order?"

Yu Wan'er had originally intended to hand the menu to both of them but cleverly only gave it to Ye Mengyao.

She knew very well that if she gave the menu to Jiang Che… that hateful guy would definitely order the most expensive items.

"My darling Wan'er, I love you so much!"

The young lady was as innocent as a child; apart from occasionally getting a little jealous, she was practically a perfect sweet and naive girl.

"Hmm… let's get a Min-Nan Ginger Duck, some Scallion Oil Mushrooms, Stir-fried Scallops with Cured Sausage, and turkey-flavored crispy rice…"

Although Ye Mengyao was a bit silly, she didn't over-order, just picking a few modestly priced dishes.

"Give it here! Who's going to get full on just these few dishes?"

"If the table next to us saw this, they'd think we couldn't afford it!"

Jiang Che took the menu and added a few more substantial dishes.

Yu Wan'er: "..."

The young girl secretly lowered her head and glanced at the few thousand yuan left in her account, feeling a pang of heartache.

This meal would cost at least one or two thousand.

Bad guy! He's such a bad guy!

Yu Wan'er felt like crying at that moment.

It wasn't until the food started arriving… when she saw the table full of delicious, fragrant dishes.

Yu Wan'er's sad tears finally flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Since it was her own money anyway… she might as well eat a lot to make up for it!

Paying the bill was painful. Yu Wan'er felt an unbearable heartache looking at the 1700 yuan deducted.

She cursed Jiang Che countless times in her mind.

"Yu Campus Belle? You seem a little unhappy? Could it be that treating us to a meal… makes you sad?"

Jiang Che asked teasingly.

"No, no! Of course, I'm happy! Actually, I've wanted to treat Yaoyao-jie for a long time; after all, Yaoyao-jie always treats me… I feel quite guilty about it!"

Yu Wan'er's acting was divine.

Ye Mengyao was in a good mood. "What are you saying, dear Wan'er! Do we two still need to differentiate between us?"

Then she turned her gaze towards Jiang Che.

"Jiang Che, the birthday party I mentioned to you this morning… you'll come, right?"

Jiang Che pondered for a moment, his expression unruffled, and silently nodded.

Ye Mengyao's face lit up. She wanted to continue speaking… to ask who the woman with Jiang Che that night was…

But she ultimately didn't say anything. After all… she wasn't anyone important right now.

"Um… my math is also very good. I can tutor you in math," Ye Mengyao tried to say.

Jiang Che slowly stood up and wiped his mouth. "There's no need to trouble Class Monitor so much. After all, I'm just a Poor Student, an Underachiever you look down on."

With that, Jiang Che pulled Yu Wan'er and left.

Watching Jiang Che's retreating figure, endless regret surged in Ye Mengyao's heart.

She had indeed used academic performance as an excuse… to repeatedly reject Jiang Che's confessions, and her attitude had even been quite arrogant.

But… the words she had spoken back then were like bullets that precisely struck the girl's forehead.
