Chapter 71: Taking advantage of cousin’s wool

Translator: 549690339

A low-cut strapless red dress hugged her bodacious, curvy body, revealing her alluring, mature allure.

Her hair was stylishly done, with carefully applied makeup on her face. She also wore a matching set of earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet that made quite the statement.

When she walked in, she clearly attracted the attention of the men nearby due to her eye-catching ensembles.

Once seated, Qiao Zixin smiled and broke the silence, “What, Mr. Huo isn’t here yet?”

Looking cheerful, Su Wanwan replied, “My husband is busy at work, so I didn’t invite him.”

“…What?” Qiao Zixin barely hid her disappointment, and her smile slightly froze.

She had deliberately taken a half-day off, went all the way to a club she would usually never splurge at, hired the most expensive stylist, Tony, and donned her most expensive designer dress!

But Huo Jingshen didn’t show up!

The little brat didn’t even say a word. Was it all on purpose?

Did she know about her ulterior motives?

But that couldn’t be. She hadn’t given away any signs, hadn’t even had a one-on-one conversation with Huo Jingshen. There was no way she had been figured out.

“Let’s order,” said Su Wanwan.

“…Alright,” Qiao Zixin had no choice but to agree.

She had only been to this place once with a rich young man and had reserved this table through some connections. There was no way to get her reservation back.

There’s also a minimum spending requirement – a casual meal here can cost up to two or three thousand. It seemed like she was going to bleed money today.

[What are you up to?] Su Wanwan suddenly received a message from Mo Weiyi.

She casually snaps a picture and sends it over.

[Wow, having a candlelit dinner with your husband, Mr. Huo? How romantic!]

Su Wanwan replies:[No, my cousin is treating me to dinner.]

[Your cousin? Is it that Qiao Zixin who used to sic the dogs on you when you were little?]

Mo Weiyi responded with a long string of words [Unexpected kindness is most likely a trick. She’s treating you to such a fine Western dinner. Be careful. Eat more, speak less. She’s possibly using you to get a job from Mr. Huo. Probably trying to get a backdoor job.]

Su Wanwan:

[She used to ignore you, but now that you’re married into the Huo family, she rushes to suck up to you. I loathe such opportunistic relatives. Order a lot of expensive dishes. Let her foot a big bill!]

Su Wanwan grinned and sent a single-worded reply.

[Okay.]

“Cousin, we should get a bottle of Lafite!”

Qiao Zixin’s hand faltered, and she quickly laughed it off, “Wanwan, it’s just the two of us. We don’t really need to drink, do we?”

“It’s rare for my cousin to treat me, we should definitely have some wine to celebrate. Plus, whatever we don’t finish can be stored here.”

Finishing her words, Su Wanwan looked up at the waiter and smiled, “Please bring us your best Lafite. Thank you.”

“Alright.”

Qiao Zixin:”…”

She wanted to curse!

Then, Su Wanwan went on to order several of the restaurant’s signature dishes: foie gras, lobster, lamb chops, snails, caviar…

Each dish she ordered made Qiao Zixin’s heart pound in anxiety, and her hand left nail marks on her palm.

It’s all about money!

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore…

“Wanwan!” Qiao Zixin abruptly grabbed the menu, “That’s enough, isn’t it? It’s just the two of us.”

Su Wenwen looked at her, “Alright.”

Soon as she let go of the menu…

“One more Coq au Vin, please.” Su Wanwen finished, smiling slightly, “Now that’s enough.”

Qiao Zixin:

She wanted to hit someone!

Soon, the exquisite food started rolling out one after the other.

Watching Su Wanwan relishing the foie gras in her cheap t-shirt and jeans, Qiao Zixin felt like her heart was bleeding.

Because of Su Xueqin, she also majored in journalism in college. However, she didn’t get a good job after graduation.

Su Yunrong was just an associate professor at Nancheng University, Qiao Jianye was a deputy section chief, and her grandpa and uncle disliked using connections for career advances. So, she ended up working at a magazine company.

Although she worked in an office building nearby, her monthly salary was just a little over ten thousand. But wasn’t this one meal going to cost her thousands?

It was as if they were slicing off her flesh!

But Su Wanwan seemed to be having a good time.

She noticed that Qiao Zixin wasn’t as warm and chatty as she was over the phone. Instead, she seemed to have a lot on her mind.

That’s fine by her; she could enjoy her food without having to talk.

When she finished the last dessert, Su Wanwan put down her spoon, “This rum ice cream was nice. Cousin, can I order another one?”

Qiao Zixin’s smile was rigid, “Wanwan, girls shouldn’t eat too many cold and refreshing food, it’s bad for the body.”

“What’s the big deal? It’s summer anyway.” Su Wanwan sounded innocent. After her words, she pressed the service bell.

As Qiao Zixin watched her, her smile remained on the surface, but her fingers were tightly knotted under the table. Internally, she was cursing her: Go on, keep eating until you become a big fatso!

The ice cream quickly arrived, and Su Wanwan enjoyed it at a leisurely pace.

Another ten minutes passed, and Qiao Zixin lost her patience.

French restaurants already had long waiting times. From the moment she sat down, she had wasted a full two hours here, and been fleeced in the process!

The person she wanted to meet never showed up!

Qiao Zixin picked up her phone, pretended to tap a few times, then abruptly stood up, “There’s an emergency at the magazine, Wanwan, please continue eating, I have to leave.”

“Sure,” Su Wanwan nonchalantly waved her hand, “Don’t forget to pay the bill, cousin. I didn’t bring my purse!”

Qiao Zixin’s mouth was twitching in anger.

This damn girl, she’s really taking advantage, and god, thick-skinned!

She took a deep breath and reminded herself: A minor impatience spoils great plans..
