Chapter 246: Bill

Translator: _Min_

Sheng Xin, dissatisfied with Gu Dai’s reaction, asked, “Aren’t you angry?”

Gu Dai, puzzled, replied, “I’ve already divorced Song Ling. Your relationship with him doesn’t concern me, so why should I be angry?”

During recent encounters, Song Ling had shown a regretful and apologetic demeanor to Gu Dai, which she now realized was just an act.

Understanding this, she felt relieved, with no sense of regret.

Sheng Xin pressed her lips into a smile and softly said, “I was just worried you couldn’t let go. Now that I see you have, I feel relieved.”

Gu Dai simply nodded, not continuing the conversation.

Sheng Xin, undeterred, continued, “Speaking of which, Miss Gu Dai and I seem to have a connection. We have a mutual acquaintance from before.”

Gu Dai, after a few seconds of thought, confidently said, “You’re talking about Jiang Yue, aren’t you?”

Sheng Xin confirmed with a smile, “Yes, Jiang Yue. We were close friends in middle school. How did you guess?”

Because of her three years of memory loss, Gu Dai had limited interactions.

The only person around her age was Jiang Yue.

Except…

Gu Dai replied sincerely, “Because I’m smart.”

It was the first time for Sheng Xin encountering someone like Gu Dai.

Wang Lan, without hesitation, retorted, “That’s quite thick-skinned of you!”

Gu Dai ignored Wang Lan and instead asked, “The total bill is 800,000. Who will be paying?”

Her question left Sheng Xin and Wang Lan speechless. When they recovered, they asked in disbelief, “Repeat that amount?”

Gu Dai reiterated, “800,000.”

Sheng Xin snatched the bill, and upon seeing the amount, exclaimed in shock, “How can it be so expensive? Are you robbing us?”

Gu Dai reminded, “You can check the menu for the prices.”

Wang Lan angrily accused, “You ordered the most expensive dishes, just to scam us!”

Gu Dai, prepared for this, calmly replied, “I did ask if 1 could order anything, and you said yes.”

She then played back their earlier conversation, recorded on her phone.

Ignoring the recording, Wang Lan insisted, “It’s your fault. You should have shown us the menu first, but you didn’t!”

Sheng Xin, seeking to escalate the situation, demanded, “Call your boss over, I want to file a complaint!”

Gu Dai looked directly at Sheng Xin, “The boss is here. If you have something to say, say it now.”

Sheng Xin looked around, not seeing anyone else, and skeptically asked, “Are you playing me for a fool? Where’s the boss?”

Yang Yi indicated Gu Dai and informed Wang Lan and Sheng Xin, “She is our boss.”

Sheng Xin was stunned, “You’re the owner of this restaurant?”

Wang Lan, equally shocked, stared at Gu Dai in disbelief.

Gu Dai nodded and continued, “So, are you sure you don’t want to pay the bill? If you insist it’s my fault, we can discuss it in the main hall and let everyone decide.”

Unyielding, Wang Lan said, “Let’s go then!”

Sheng Xin, internally cursing Wang Lan for her thoughtlessness, grabbed her on the arm, then reluctantly agreed to pay while she stared at Gu Dai, gritting her teeth, “We’ll pay!”

Gu Dai presented the QR code for payment, “Just scan here.”

Although Sheng Xin’s family was wealthy, her monthly allowance was only a million, and spending 800,000 at the start of the month left her with just 200,000 for the rest of it.

Hoping for a split bill, Sheng Xin suggested to Wang Lan, “Auntie, how about we pay half each?”

Wang Lan, in a tight spot, replied, “I don’t have money right now. You can pay Xinxin.”

Wang Lan was speaking the truth. Ever since Song Ling restricted her expenses, she had been living a frugal life, with each meal not exceeding a thousand. For her, an 800,000 meal was astronomical.

Sheng Xin initially felt displeased with Wang Lan, but remembering that Wang Lan was Song Ling’s mother, she thought she might be undergoing a test, which dispelled her dissatisfaction.

Sheng Xin smiled and said, “1 was just joking with you earlier. Of course, I’ll pay. How could I let you pay?”

Wang Lan exclaimed, “Xinxin is such a good child!”

Wang Lan then turned to give Gu Dai a sharp look.

Once Sheng Xin had paid, Gu Dai turned to Wang Lan and said, “If your eyes are feeling uncomfortable, remember to get them treated at the hospital..”
