Jiang Xue also took a bite with a spoon. She was quite interested in the dessert, which cost 120 yuan. She thought that it must taste good since it was so expensive. But after taking a bite, she felt the same way as Tian Zhenzhen – it was so cloying.

"Zhenzhen, this dessert is really not good. The cream on top is all vegetable cream, which is not comparable to the cream we use in our store."

Eating too much of it can easily cause cancer, so let's eat less of it.

Jiang Xue took a bite but didn't put down her spoon; she felt a little bad if she didn't eat it.

But the cream on top wasn't good.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about restaurants. Okay, I'll listen to you."

Tian Zhenzhen didn't want to eat in the first place, and with Jiang Xue's reminder, she naturally wouldn't eat anymore.

"You should eat less too. It's fine if it's a waste, but we can't let our bodies suffer."

Tian Zhenzhen could guess Jiang Xue's thoughts.

Hearing her words, Jiang Xue finally put down the spoon in her hand.

"You'll get the hang of it after seeing it a lot. Our hotel uses only the best materials."

This shop is really something; they use such cheap ingredients for pastries that cost 120 yuan.

Jiang Xue reiterated her approval of the hotel's materials.

"Let's order two lemonades to cut through the richness."

Normally, you could enjoy a refreshing drink with black tea, but since it's summer, it's more satisfying to eat something cool.

"Oh, no need. I just saw that a glass of lemonade here costs more than 50 yuan, which is more than five times more expensive than outside."

Jiang Xue is used to being frugal, so it was really hard for her to order such an expensive glass of lemonade.

"There's no need. It's not like Liu Jiajia is treating us. She wouldn't be so stingy as to not even offer a glass of lemonade."

Tian Zhenzhen didn't care. She was already so rich, of course she didn't want to wrong herself.

If Liu Jiajia is reluctant to pay, she can pay for it herself.

As for other desserts, Tian Zhenzhen didn't order any. She was already too full from that last bite, and besides, it was so late, and she was afraid of gaining weight.

She didn't order any for Jiang Xue either. She wouldn't eat any herself, and Jiang Xue would definitely be reluctant to part with it, so it was better not to put her in a difficult position.

Just as the waiter was preparing for the two of them, Liu Jiajia came over with Feng Lan.

Feng Lan's monster-fighting today was a bit strange; she was wearing long-sleeved clothes and makeup on despite the hot weather.

Do girls start dressing up after graduating from high school?

Tian Zhenzhen has been taking care of her skin lately. Apart from sunscreen, she hasn't applied anything else. She's young, and youth is so charming.

When Feng Lan saw the two of them, she just snorted, clearly not intending to greet them or show any dislike for her two former friends.

Seeing them reminded her of her past misery; it was fair to say that Jiang Xue and the other woman were the people she least wanted to see.

After sitting down, seeing the beautiful pastries in front of me, I excitedly picked up a spoon and started eating.

His face was full of satisfaction after the first bite.

Jiang Xue and Tian Zhenzhen were both surprised. Didn't they feel tired after taking such a big bite?

"Jiajia, these are the snacks you ordered for me, right? They're so delicious."

This shop is located in the city center, so the desserts must be expensive.

"It's alright, it's only 120 yuan. I'm glad you like it," Liu Jiajia said generously.

"What? This dessert costs 120? Yue City is different. Everything is expensive. You ordered four pieces, so that's 480."

Jiajia, your family treats you so well; a simple meal out costs several hundred yuan.

Feng Lan's statement is a bit of an exaggeration. Nowadays, parents dote on their children, especially during summer vacation and when they go to reunions with classmates, parents are willing to give their children money to spend.

But none of them—Feng Lan, Jiang Xue, or even Tian Zhenzhen before them—were actually from wealthy families.

One hundred yuan is a lot for them.

Feng Lan's mother was not welcoming of her arrival because her husband, whom she later married, did not like Feng Lan and thought she was just a burden who used his money.

Just then, the waiter came over and brought lemonade to the two of them.

When Liu Jiajia saw this, her expression darkened. If she had wanted to treat them to drinks, she wouldn't have left them out when ordering.

However, her expression changed quickly, and only Tian Zhenzhen, who was paying attention to her, noticed it.

As the waiter was about to leave after bringing two glasses of lemonade to Tian Zhenzhen and Jiang Xue, Feng Lan spoke up in dissatisfaction.

"How can your store provide such excellent service? Can't you see the person who is treating us is here?"

Why did they give the lemonade to these two freeloaders first?

Feng Lan got some information from Liu Jiajia, and that's when she started flattering him.

"These are what these two ladies ordered. Would you like some lemonade too? If so, I'll go and bring it to you."

The waiter was very nice and mentioned that Tian Zhenzhen and her friends had ordered the two glasses of lemonade first.

If they need it, we can bring it up to them again.

"Jiajia, how about we pay for these two glasses of water and the dessert ourselves, so we don't get accused of freeloading again? It's getting late, let's go home first."

Tian Zhenzhen wasn't angry at Feng Lan's provocative words; she just wanted to see Liu Jiajia's attitude.

Sure enough, when she mentioned that she wanted to leave, Liu Jiajia spoke to Feng Lan with dissatisfaction.

"Feng Lan, how could you say that? We're all classmates, and you're all my dearest friends and family. Don't talk nonsense. I'm treating you to dessert."

"I wasn't paying attention just now. Everyone must be thirsty, so please get us two more glasses of lemonade."

Liu Jiajia suppressed her displeasure and was unusually generous.

"Jiajia, I misspoke just now. Please don't take it to heart. Jiajia is so generous."

Seeing that Liu Jiajia was angry, Feng Lan had no choice but to change her tune and try even harder to please her.

"It's nothing, this amount of money is just a small amount to me."

The reason I've invited you here is to give you an opportunity to make money.

Liu Jiajia didn't want to waste time chatting with them, lest things get complicated, so she directly stated her purpose.

“What money-making opportunities? I…” Feng Lan was about to say that she was short of money.

Seeing that Tian Zhenzhen and Jiang Xue were both there, she felt too embarrassed to say it again.

It's often said that having a stepmother means having a stepfather, and Feng Lan felt that having a stepfather meant having a stepmother.

At first, she was quite happy when her mother got married, thinking that since her mother had married someone from the city, she would also be a city dweller.

But right after she finished the college entrance exam, she turned 18, and her mother said that raising her until she was 18 was already more than enough, and her uncle's family was also in financial difficulty.

They are willing to cover her tuition fees for university, but she will need to earn her own living expenses.

Her mother's money was going to be saved to support her younger brother. Yes, her mother was over 40 years old and was pregnant.

Feng Lan didn't want her mother to have any more children, but her mother said that only by having children could she establish herself in the new family, and that she should understand her difficulties.

Although Feng Lan was vain before, she also knew that only by studying could she change her fate.

Of course she wanted to earn more money. She had Liu Jiajia's WeChat and saw that her Moments were full of photos of travel and food.

That carefree, unrestrained, and wealthy life is what she longs for.

“My mom also wants to give me some experience. Although we’re not short of money, she wants me to try what it’s like to earn money.”

Feng Lan regained her dignity.

She indicated that she didn't want to work because she was broke, but rather because she wanted to experience life.

They are completely different from Tian Zhenzhen and Jiang Xue.

Her words earned her the contempt of the three men, who thought she was a fool to everyone.
