Chapter 19
“This meal is on me . Let me tell you a secret . I’ve picked up some money on a road . It was said that you must share the money that you accidentally picked up with someone else, or you’ll have bad luck . ” Gu Ning lied to Yu Mixi with the same old excuse .
“Really? That’s great . Then this time is on you . I’ll buy you a meal this afternoon . ” Yu Mixi didn’t reject this time . She also had heard the old saying .
The canteen had two floors . The first floor was for the public, providing cheap and not delicious food . The food was made in a large amount every time . Taste wasn’t the first priority, as long as the food was cooked .
The second floor was a private dining place . You could order whatever you wanted first, then the cook would cook for you one by one . Accordingly, the price was much higher .
If you dined in the public cafeteria, 10 yuan would be enough . However, if you dined in the private cafeteria, a hundred yuan were barely enough .
So when Gu Ning proposed to have their meal on the second floor, Yu Mixi immediately refused .
Gu Ning wouldn’t listen to her, and walked to the second floor directly . Yu Mixi then had to follow up .
Though the students in the private cafeteria weren’t as many as the students in the public cafeteria, the second floor was mostly occupied, because there were lots of rich kids .
The second Gu Ning and her friend went upstairs, an unkind female voice sounded, “Gee, isn’t this Gu Ning from the fourth classroom? Isn’t she the well-known poor student? Why is she here?”
Gu Ning actually wasn’t famous at all . Only her classmates or Gu Xiaoxiao and Qin Zheng’s friends knew her .
The girl had already mentioned Gu Ning was from the fourth classroom, which meant she wasn’t Gu Ning’s classmate . The girl also couldn’t be Qin Zheng’s acquaintance .
Gu Ning was sure that she must be a friend of Gu Xiaoxiao’s .
Gu Ning had no intention to argue back . She looked over at the girl . The girl was exactly Gu Xiaoxiao’s good friend . Her name was Chen Ziyao . She was a senior from the second classroom .
Chen Ziyao was born in a rich family as well . Her father, who had dozens of millions of assets, was a director of a famous real estate corporation .
The corporation Chen Ziyao’s father worked for was in close cooperation with the company Gu Xiaoxiao’s father worked for . They gathered together often . Chen Ziyao and Gu Xiaoxiao became good friends naturally .
Chen Ziyao also knew what had happened between Gu Ning and Qin Zheng . However, Gu Xiaoxiao and Qin Zheng had asked her to keep the truth to herself, so she never told anyone .
Gu Ning just gave her a glance, then ignored her . She went to an empty table with Yu Mixi, starting to order .
Gu Ning ignored Chen Ziyao, but in Chen Ziyao’s eyes, Gu Ning was a coward . She was used to laughing at Gu Ning all the time, and Gu Ning never had argued back .
“I think she probably has picked up money on a road,” a girl who sat beside Chen Ziyao added . They never miss any chance to make fun of Gu Ning .
Yu Mixi, on the other side, was surprised that the girl knew the fact .
Seeing Yu Mixi’s face, Gu Ning didn’t know how to explain .
Before long, Gu Ning had finished their order .
It was the best meal they ever had in school for all those years .
“Gu Ning, isn’t this too much?” Yu Mixi asked . They had spent almost two hundred yuan . If they ate in the public cafeteria, two hundred yuan were totally enough for a week .
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing . ” Gu Ning replied .
Yu Mixi then closed her mouth .
“Oh, let me see what do you two poor little girl have today . ” Chen Ziyao stood up, walking towards Gu Ning . She assumed Gu Ning and Yu Mixi must be too poor to have something really good .
Only those rich girls who were bored would enjoy making fun of others .
The minute Chen Ziyao came over, Gu Ning put away the bill . She stood up and went to the cook . Gu Ning directly ignored Chen Ziyao again .
Chen Ziyao was displeased . She reached out to grab the bill .
However, Gu Ning wouldn’t allow her to do that .
Gu Ning moved slightly away . Chen Ziyao grabbed nothing but air . She felt embarrassed, shouting at Gu Ning afterwards, “Gu Ning, how dare you to escape!”
Chen Ziyao’s angry voice raised attention from many students .
Gu Ning ignored Chen Ziyao earlier because she didn’t want to get into trouble, but now the trouble found her, Gu Ning decided to face it .
She stopped, looking straight at Chen Ziyao, “Why not?”
Chen Ziyao was struck dumb suddenly . She didn’t expect Gu Ning would argue back .
In Chen Ziyao’s eyes, Gu Ning was merely a poor weak miserable girl . She could bully Gu Ning whenever and wherever she wanted .
But now everything was different . Gu Ning even argued her back in front of everyone . Chen Ziyao felt shamed, “Gu Ning, you know you’re a poor girl and have no right to fight against me!”
“What’s wrong with me being a poor girl? It’s none of your business . You have no right to stand in my way!” Gu Ning argued again . She never liked Chen Ziyao .
“You…” Chen Ziyao was annoyed .
Actually Chen Ziyao did have no right to stand in others’ way . Now, the onlookers all believed Chen Ziyao had shamed herself .
Amid everyone’s dislike, Chen Ziyao was more than irritated .
She knew she had no right to stand in Gu Ning’s way, but she was so used to making fun of Gu Ning . Chen Ziyao couldn’t accept the fact that Gu Ning had stood up against her .
Therefore, Chen Ziyao didn’t give up, “Gu Ning, do you know your mother was pregnant before getting married? You’re merely a bastard without a father…”
