Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Who Cares About Pestering You?

Restaurant Fragrance was a two-story imitation of an old Chinese palace-style low-rise building, low-profile and luxurious.

As soon as the car stopped, a waiter came to help open the car door. Bai Yun threw his keys and said, “Nine Dragon Gate.” Someone led the way.

When they entered Restaurant Fragrance, it was completely different. There were ceramics, gray sculptures, wood carvings, and gla.s.s. The combination was exquisite and unique. The water flowed and the winding corridor was like a cla.s.sical garden.

Gu Man and the others were led through the hall and up a spiral staircase. After the waiter opened a door carved with nine dragons, he stood by the door and bowed. “Everyone, we’ve arrived at the Nine Dragon Gate!”

Gu Man picked a seat by the window and looked into the distance from the window. It was the iconic Dragon Pearl Tower in Han City. Looking downstairs was the beautiful scenery.

As expected of a restaurant where a single dish was worth four figures.

But when Gu Man received the menu, she realized that four digits was already considered cheap. Alright, she had missed the words “at least” from Bai Yun’s words earlier on.

Gu Man glanced at the menu and handed it to Xiang Yin. “I don’t know much about dishes. Pick what you like.”

When Cui Lin entered, Gu Man wanted him to order too, but Xiang Yin did not even look up. “No need, he’s not picky!”

Cui Lin thought that he had offended Xiang Yin again. After thinking for a while, he realized that he had not! But according to his experiences from interacting with Xiang Yin, he must have offended Xiang Yin in some way. Could it be that Xiang Yin was unhappy because he suggested having a meal, but, he was not the only one who was benefitting from it! 1

In the end, Cui Lin concluded that the Second Young Master of the Xiang Family was a beautiful man with a heart that was hard to guess! 2

In the end, the five of them ordered eight dishes. Gu Man estimated that this meal was about 100,000 yuan. She immediately felt a little pained.

It was indeed a gathering place for wealthy families. A single meal here costs as much as an ordinary family’s spending on food for an entire year.

The people who came here might not even understand sometimes if they were pursuing the delicacy of that dish or if they were here to prove their ident.i.ty and status.

After all, without a certain amount of wealth and power, who would dare to step into this place?

Before the food arrived, Bai Ling shouted, “Miss, accompany me out for a while.” With that, she pulled Gu Man out.

“My stomach doesn’t feel well. I want to go to the bathroom. When I use the toilet in school, I always get my friends to come with me. I’m used to it. Miss, you don’t mind, right?”

“It’s fine. I wanted to go too.” Gu Man and Bai Ling left the private room. They had to pa.s.s through a public hall before they reached the public bathroom.

After Gu Man came out of the bathroom, she sat on the sofa in the hall and waited for Bai Ling.

“Gu Man?” A surprised voice sounded.

Gu Man looked up and cursed in her heart when she saw this group of people. How unlucky! 1

It was the Gu family and the Li family. 2

“Gu Man, why are you here?” Gu Rou pretended to be puzzled, but she was furious. She had clearly said yesterday that she wouldn’t come to apologize to the Li Family, but now she had secretly come. She was really shameless.

The Gu and Li families’ polite faces darkened.

Li Guo’s face was still swollen. His eyes, which were already very small, now looked like two green beans. At this moment, the two green beans were bulging from his glaring. His face was full of hatred, as if he was about to pounce on Gu Man and tear her apart.

He would never forget the humiliation he suffered yesterday. This wretched girl had almost ruined his life. Sooner or later, he would take revenge.

“Gu Man, how long are you going to pester me?” Zhang Yue also thought that she was here because of him. 1

Gu Rou had told him yesterday that Gu Man was stubborn and unwilling to apologize to the Li Family. The Gu Family did not know what to do and asked him to use his connections and arrange for them to have a meal together. But now that Gu Man was here, she must have known that he was coming, so she changed her mind and waited here.

If Gu Man knew what Zhang Yue was thinking, she would definitely say that he was thinking too much!

“Hmph, who cares about pestering you?!” Gu Man saw that Bai Ling had yet to come out, so she couldn’t leave.

“Are you here to eat with us?” Gu Rou asked. This Gu Man really refused to give up. She must have heard that Zhang Yue was here, so she insisted on coming shamelessly. How shameless. She was getting better at using tricks.

“I’m eating here with my friend.” Gu Man was frustrated. Why was the Gu family filled with self-righteous people?!
