The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 158 - The Fragrant Carp Soup

Chapter 158: The Fragrant Carp Soup

Lin Yuelan did not refuse Liu Qi’s invitation. She said half-jokingly, “young master Liu, I was planning to eat for free. I will not pay even if you invite me to a private room. You should know that eating in a private room is twice as expensive as eating in the main hall of this restaurant. I’m a poor person, so I can’t afford it!”

When Liu Qi forbade Lin Jiayin from interacting with her, Lin Yuelan made the decision that her relations.h.i.+p with Liu Qi would be purely business. However, Liu Qi seemed to have considered things and wanted to be her friend. But people often had only one chance!

Therefore, her relations.h.i.+p with Liu Qi would only be strictly business.

Little Twelve was shocked to hear Lin Yuelan. ‘Is Miss Lin really planning to eat a free meal? Wasn’t she saying that to scare the waiter?’

He really couldn’t understand Miss Lin. She was at two extremes when it came to money.

On the one side, she loved money a lot. When they first met, she scammed them by selling them a mushroom for one tael of silver each, and a rabbit for three taels each. She earned around four hundred taels of silver from them instantly. Of course, most of the money came from the general and the First Lieutenant. Small fries like them didn’t have any money on them.

Plus, Little Twelve also understood that Miss Lin was particularly stingy. If she could get a discount, she would. If she could get things for free, it would make her day. This was the perfect example. Since the young master treated them to a meal, she accepted easily. Miss Lin was the most bandit-like woman Little Twelve had ever met.

On the other hand, Miss Lin was very generous. For example, she took in five of them and bought them a full set of clothes and shoes.

When she found out Li Huaisheng’s wife was sick, she gave Li Huaishuang plenty of money without even bargaining.

Miss Lin’s actions were incomprehensible.

Zhou Wencai, who was standing beside Liu Qi, found Lin Yuelan’s words amusing. He couldn’t help but laugh.

Zhou Wencai said with a smile, “miss Lin, don’t worry. This restaurant is brother Liu’s. He would be too embarra.s.sed to take money from you anyway. So, Miss Lin, you don’t need to worry about the bill. This will be Brother Liu’s treat.”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “well, in that case, thank you!”

Zhou Wencai’s mouth was slightly agape in surprise.

This girl was rather shameless. Normal people would reject due to politeness. However, she jumped on the free meal readily. Didn’t she know that men didn’t like women who were too straightforward?

Of course, Zhou Wencai only mocked in his heart. To be honest, if Lin Yuelan weren’t a jinx, he might be interested in her. She wouldn’t be his wife, but she could be his concubine.

However, if Lin Yuelan knew what Zhou Wencai was thinking, she’d scoff. As long as she wasn’t interested, she wouldn’t take the role of the queen, much less the concubine of the county magistrate’s son.

Lin Yuelan didn’t know what Zhou Wencai was thinking.

The group went up to the private room on the third floor. Previously, Liu Qi and Zhou Wencai were in ordinary room on the second floor.

The third floor was reserved for distinguished guests. Other than Liu Qi’s private room, the rest of the rooms were permanently booked by distinguished guests.

Lin Yuelan glanced at the layout of the restaurant and secretly admired the wisdom and shrewdness of the ancient people.

They knew to categorize people based on the customer’s rank. The guests in the first-floor hall were ordinary guests, and the guests in the private rooms on the second floor were powerful town individuals. Finally, only guests with great status and influence from bigger towns than Ning An Town would have a room on the third floor.

Thanks to Liu Qi, Lin Yuelan managed to taste what it was like to be the third category of people.

As soon as they entered the room, Liu Qi gestured and said politely, “miss Lin, please have a seat!”

Liu Qi would have given Lin Yuelan a lot of face even if he treated her in the first-floor hall.

However, Liu Qi had invited her to the private room on the third floor. Perhaps he was really sincere in treating her as a friend. Or was he plotting something else?
