"Yes, that's all." Qiaoqiao panicked.

Did she discover something?

Her smile froze for a moment, and she quickly regained her composure, forcing a smile as she spoke.

"Lin Xi, what do you mean? Qiaoqiao kindly invited you, and you're being sarcastic and picky."

"Yeah, you're acting like you know this place like the back of your hand. Stop pretending."

"Yeah, I used to think that even though she was... well, she wasn't this annoying."

An'an was furious listening to this, but since Lin Xi didn't say anything, she couldn't do anything and could only sulk.

"This menu might be different from what I saw at the front desk. Can I order something else? I can pay for it myself." Lin Xi said to Qiaoqiao as if she hadn't heard the voices around her.

She came in knowing what had happened; if she didn't want to have a good time, then she shouldn't expect to have a good time either.

Doesn't she care about her image as a rich, beautiful, and successful woman?

"I..." Qiaoqiao stammered, and finally said with a hint of embarrassment and anger, "I... anyway, this is what the front desk gave me, you can order whatever you want."

"Then you can take it, thank you," Lin Xi said calmly.

"She can't be telling the truth, can she?"

"Who knows? But I don't think they're that expensive. The most expensive ones are only a few thousand, and some are a few hundred. Didn't they say you have to deposit 100 million to become a member to get in?"

"What you said does make sense. It doesn't quite fit the price range here. It's like going into a restaurant and seeing a menu of cold dishes."

"Wow, really? Isn't Qiaoqiao's family very rich? It can't be that bad."

"Who knows? That's all what she said herself. We don't know either."

Hearing the whispers around her, Qiaoqiao's smile vanished instantly, and she glared at the others with an unpleasant expression.

Everyone fell silent instantly, but their silence didn't mean they didn't think so.

Qiaoqiao glared fiercely at Lin Xi, her anger barely contained. The short-haired woman next to her quickly pulled her back, and she finally calmed down from her rage. She tried to suppress her emotions and forced a smile, but it was a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"I don't know either, why don't we call the receptionist over and ask?"

After Qiaoqiao finished speaking, she pressed a service bell.

Manager Lin looked at Lin Xi, her gaze darkening. She seemed like a completely different person; she had defeated Qiao Qiao with just a few words. It seemed she needed to make a better plan.

But the more difficult it is, the more challenging it is, right? Manager Lin stroked his chin and smiled.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" A young man wearing a black shirt and black pants walked in.

His chiseled features appeared even softer under the surrounding blue light, and his eyes, like a city filled with stars, gazed over.

"That waiter is so handsome! He's looking over here. Is he looking at me?"

"Her looks are even better than celebrities, she's absolutely stunning."

A hint of amazement flashed in Qiaoqiao's eyes. Seeing him looking over, she quickly straightened her slightly wrinkled skirt, leaned forward to reveal her slender waist, and even moved her bag forward slightly, looking at him with a pretentious air.

A flicker of surprise and delight crossed Lin Zihao's handsome face. He hadn't expected to run into Sister Xi here. However, it was work time, so he composed himself and asked again.

Is there anything we can help you with?

"Come here, bring me your karaoke menu and let me take a look." Qiaoqiao looked at him haughtily, her tone full of disdain.

She's pretty, but she's broke. Otherwise, she wouldn't be working as a waitress here. If she knew what was good for her, she wouldn't mind "sponsoring the business."

Lin Zihao took three menus from the cart by the door and came back. "These are all our menus. You can take a look."

A girl quickly took the menu, her fingers accidentally touching him. Her face flushed red as she ran to her seat, her eyes glancing at him every now and then.

Seeing this, Lin Xi looked at Lin Zihao with amusement.

Lin Zihao immediately returned a smile.

Lin Xi smiled and didn't say anything. After all, he was at work. But she could spend money on him, since she couldn't waste the goodwill that was offered to her!

Qiaoqiao felt a pang of jealousy as she watched the two of them exchanging glances.

She has a foxy look, and all she does is seduce people all day long; she has no self-control.

"Wow, these are really expensive. A single bottle of wine costs tens of thousands. Who can afford this? No wonder Qiaoqiao didn't show them to us."

"Didn't she say her family was rich? If you can't afford it, don't bring us to such a high-end place. We wouldn't have said anything, but now that you're here, you won't let us order these things, and you say we can order whatever we want..."

"Stop talking... Qiaoqiao is watching." The person next to him nudged him.

"We can't talk about it this time. If Xixi hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have known we'd been tricked and made a fool of." He became more and more angry as he spoke. He already had a resentment towards the rich, and now that this had happened, it finally erupted.

Seeing that they couldn't stop him, the people around simply ignored him and moved to the side.

Qiaoqiao's smile almost crumbled when she was so bluntly called out, and she cursed inwardly for being hypocritical and taking advantage of others.

Lin Xi smiled faintly, watching the show quietly. Sure enough, the person she could use as a pawn was not a person with principles.

"Then why did you only give me one? I need to get this straight with your manager," Qiaoqiao said angrily, standing up.

Lin Zihao could tell that there was something off about the atmosphere between the person in front of him and Sister Xi, and they seemed to be at odds. He understood immediately.

"Excuse me, ma'am, we prepare all the menus for each private room, but it's possible that our staff forgot today and only gave you one, missing the other two. We are very sorry about that. To make up for it, we will bring you a fruit platter later. We are truly sorry." Lin Zihao said gently and bowed to express his apology.

"They said they would prepare all the menus, so she must be deliberately trying to prevent us from seeing them."

"Didn't that handsome guy say the staff might have forgotten?"

“Didn’t you hear him say he forgot, but he still gave me one? How could he have deliberately forgotten the other two? Anyone with common sense would understand.”

"you......"

Qiaoqiao was about to get angry, but she realized she didn't know where to start her rant.

You said he hid it himself, but the other person didn't have it either, and you even kindly made up an excuse for her that it was essentially an implication that he hid it himself.

You might say he was shirking responsibility, but no, he did apologize and compensate with a fruit platter, even though it was the cheapest option.

She was completely stumped and didn't know where to begin.
