Chapter 968: Cla.s.s Reunion (Part 4: Flaunting Her English)
“It’s fine, no one has to pay. I told all of you that I’m going to buy a meal today.” After saying that, Li Meng leaned her head closer to Helian Wei Wei’s ear and whispered quietly, “Wei Wei, don’t be shy. Aren’t we cla.s.smates? Don’t worry, I’ll foot the bill for you.”
It would seem that Li Meng’s offer came from a genuine place.
However, as she uttered the last sentence, suggesting to help her pay the bill, her words seemed to be underlined with a hidden mockery…
“True, true.” The other three female cla.s.smates chirped with a sugary smile, “Since Li Meng is buying us a meal, Wei Wei, don’t hesitate anymore. Let’s go now, we’ll order more dishes for you. Don’t stay here in such a sorry state and share a measly burger with your poor son.”
When she heard their comment, Helian Wei Wei instantly knew what they were implying. After all, she had a shrewd common sense, and their fakery echoed loud and clear in her ears.
However, she found their misconception very laughable, as she pondered to herself. Do they think that I can’t even afford a meal in Burger King? That’s what they thought when they saw us sharing a burger?
Do I seem very poor?
Little Qingchen clearly comprehended the situation, as well. However, he remained mum and did not speak up. These foolish humans, it’s not worth it to waste my voice on them.
After all, they had already set their mind, firmly believing that he was a poor and penniless b.u.mpkin. No matter what he said, it would only sound like an excuse for the wretched women.
He silently sighed to himself. With a quick glance, he scanned over his attire and had an epiphany. Hmm, I’m not wearing any branded piece of clothing, even my s.h.i.+rt is given by Uncle Tang. He claimed that it was custom-made, so there isn’t any logo on it.
Then, he raised his eyes to stare at Little Fatty Cheng, who was ravenously stuffing his face with the fries, like an overweight gluttonous Paul Frank monkey.
Thus, Little Qingchen suddenly realized that it was not unreasonable for others to perceive them as poor.
But… I actually love money to death!
Well, I just have to work very hard to earn a lot of cas.h.!.+
As Little Qingchen was making up his mind on his future ambition…
Baili Shangxie was proudly carrying the black diamonds and black pearls from the demon realm in his hands, preparing to create a belt for his brother’s figurines when he returned home.
Little brother doesn’t know how to dress up well. So, of course, I have to keep that in mind and help him, as the older brother.
The demons in the demon realm did not dare to reveal themselves, and merely remained hidden timidly. One of them meekly asked his friend in a hushed whisper, “What is the Little Master doing?”
“I’m not sure as well. It seems like he had a newfound fascination with jewelry and gems.”
“This is my first time seeing him so well-behaved and obedient. He didn’t hit anybody today, it’s simply a miracle! Truly a jaw-dropping miracle!”
Suddenly, Baili Shangxie stood straight as a ramrod, and s.h.i.+fted his gaze toward them.
The demons trembled violently in great fear. Intense dread and panic paralyzed their entire bodies, as they wrongly a.s.sumed that he wanted to drag them over and began tormenting them. As they furtively glanced around, frantically deciding on the direction to flee…
Unexpectedly, the little master grabbed one of the demon’s feet, and with a swift movement of his arm, powerfully flung the demon far away.
Then, he simply bent down, picked up the largest black pearl, and continued ambling forward, completely ignoring the demons’ pitiful existence.
All the demons were absolutely flabbergasted and thunderstruck into complete silence…
What on earth is he doing?
They did not know that Baili Shangxie’s heart and attention were solely focused on digging gems for his younger brother, he simply had no time to waste on them.
Meanwhile, Little Qingchen was still busily eating the burger that he bought earlier. He opened his mouth wide and took a huge bite, causing his squirrelly cheeks to bulge outward. As he quietly gazed at the adults sitting around him with his large, beautiful eyes, he seemed exceptionally adorable as he reached for his cup and drank the c.o.ke.
It was clear as day that Helian Wei Wei took no heed of their nonsensical balderdash. She ignored them and merely looked at her precious son, pinching his little cheek and playfully s.n.a.t.c.hing a piece of fries from his hand to eat.
Little Qingchen thought that she loved eating it, so he casually used another hand to take a fry and dip it in ketchup, before gentlemanly feeding it to Helian Wei Wei. Then, he turned his head around to face Li Meng and said, “Thanks for your invitation, Auntie. But my mom prefers to eat fries, so I think aunties should just head up and enjoy the meal yourselves.”
Little Qingchen spoke in an icy, indifferent tone. However, he uttered it so politely, Li Meng could not pick a bone with him.
On the other hand, Little Fatty Cheng was boiling and raging furiously. No longer able to contain his dissatisfaction, he tugged at his mother’s sleeves with irate puffs of air from his nose, saying, “Mom, make him…”
Before Little Fatty Cheng could finish his words, he was instantly frozen by a taunting stare from Helian Wei Wei.
Unknowingly, he felt that a pair of menacing eyes were piercing through him.
“If that’s the case, both of you eat first.” As though an idea had popped into her mind, Li Meng swiftly interrupted her son and looked at Helian Wei Wei with a sickening grin, saying, “We’ll meet at Starbucks on the second floor later.”
Helian Wei Wei merely responded lazily with a lukewarm smile and placed one hand on the back of the chair, muttering, “Fine.”
Li Meng quickly stood up with an ingenuine smile, and signaled to her three cla.s.smates with her gaze. The other people haven’t arrived for the reunion yet. It will only be interesting to expose all her dirty secrets when all of them are here.
The three cla.s.smates did not understand her gesture. However, they had always been following her blindly like a shadow, so they made no attempts to stay when they heard her leaving.
After they exited from Burger King, Little Fatty Cheng was still tightly clenching his little chubby fist, fuming and dissatisfied. He did not understand why his mother would not let him vent his anger on them.
Li Meng pulled her son to the side and quietly said, “Cheng Cheng, remember this. It’s not worth it to be upset about that little brat. How many times have I told you? You must maintain your image and decorum. It’s unsightly and worthless to lose your temper on penniless beggars like them, do you understand?”
“I understand.” Little Fatty Cheng unwillingly said through gritted teeth, “But mom, you need to teach them a lesson for me.”
Li Meng said with a menacing smile, “Of course, I told you that I would punish them for you. Let’s go and eat first, it’s almost dinner time…”
