Chapter 123: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 123: How Much Money Did He Transfer In?
For someone with social anxiety, facing the cashier alone was already challenging. And now, the password for the card was incorrect. She had entered Bai Junjun's birthday, but it showed as incorrect.
The cashier looked at her and said, "Hello, if you enter it wrong again, the card will be locked. Do you want to think carefully or use another card?"
Bai Junwen stood there stiffly. She didn't have enough money to pay for the table's expenses.
Facing the cashier's gaze, she felt uneasy, not knowing how to resolve the current situation.
Would she be treated as someone trying to dine and dash, then taken to the police station?
"Miss, how would you like to settle the payment?"
The cashier reminded her again, also sensing that something was not right with the delayed payment.
Seeing her in high school uniform, she thought, could she not afford the bill?
Although he was a high school student, with such a large bill, it would be a problem if she couldn't pay.
The situation was quite tense. Jiang Chenchen, having finished eating, saw that Bai Junwen hadn't come over and walked to the cashier. She asked, "What's wrong?"
The cashier hurriedly said, "Miss, your friend's card isn't working. Can you use your card instead?"
She handed over the bill.
Jiang Chenchen looked at it, counted the numbers, and then paused.
So expensive.
She thought it was delicious just a moment ago, but now it seemed overpriced.
But since they had already consumed it, they had to pay.
So, she took out her wallet. There was a card that Sheng Mingsi gave her for living expenses and miscellaneous fees. She didn't know if it would cover the bill for today.
She hesitated but had to give it a try.
Entering the password, the receipt from the card machine finally printed out. Success!
At least it proved that there was enough money to cover such a large expense.
The cashier breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that they were trying to dine and dash, but fortunately, they weren't.
At the same time, she marveled at how high school students nowadays could spend so much!
Jiang Chenchen was a bit puzzled. How much money did Sheng Mingsi transfer into this card?
Regardless, she couldn't use the money he gave for such expenses. She had to cover this gap herself.
Time for studying was already tight. If she wanted to fill this gap, she would have to earn money quickly.
She hadn't figured out what method to use yet.
On the other hand, Bai Junwen didn't expect that Jiang Chenchen would solve the predicament once again. It seemed that any problem could be easily resolved in front of her.
It made her feel useless.
As they left the restaurant, Bai Junwen kept her head down and didn't speak. But soon, she gathered courage and said, "Jiang Chenchen, since I invited you to eat, I'll find a way to repay you for this money."
"No hurry," Jiang Chenchen said. "But why couldn't your sister's card be used?"
Bai Junwen gripped her clothes. "She did it on purpose, intentionally ordering expensive dishes and making me pay the bill, all just to make me look bad!"
She should have known that her annoying sister wouldn't change her ways suddenly!
Angry but helpless, she now had that card in her pocket.
Seeing this, Jiang Chenchen asked, "Do you want to retaliate?"
"Retaliate?" Bai Junwen shook her head. Although she was furious, she didn't dare to retaliate. She couldn't argue with anyone.
"Jiang Chenchen, please don't take the so-called birthday banquet to heart. Don't even bother asking people or inviting a big star like Lu Su. It's impossible. Please don't get involved in this."
She had already caused Jiang Chenchen enough trouble; there was no need to bother her further.
The so-called birthday would only become a comparison and joke in the eyes of the people who attended, comparing her seventeen-year-old sister with her eighteen-year-old self.
Jiang Chenchen didn't know about her inner conflict and said, "Inviting Lu Su is not that difficult. Since you all like him, on your 18th birthday, let him sing a happy birthday song for you. How about that?"
Bai Junwen couldn't believe it. Why did Jiang Chenchen consider such a difficult thing as a trivial matter?
Was she a goddess?
The noon sun was intense, and there seemed to be a mysterious glow around the person next to her.
Bai Junwen did want to celebrate her eighteenth birthday. It's just that no one cared, and there was nothing to celebrate.
But what she just said, was it true? In front of a star they all admired, enjoying such treatment and blessings, could she really have it all?
Thinking about it, she found herself somewhat looking forward to it, but reality made her timid.
Did she deserve all of this?
Jiang Chenchen noticed that she seemed to like it, though not obvious, Jiang Chenchen could see it.
Although there was some timidity, Jiang Chenchen ignored it. "After school this afternoon, I'll give Lu Su a call and ask. Just wait."
Bai Junwen saw Bai Junjun and those classmates in front of her stop.
The dreams shattered instantly in the face of reality.
And Bai Junjun was also very disappointed. She didn't see the two of them being dragged out or sent to the police station in embarrassment, which was incredible.
Where did she get the money from?
Did Grandma secretly give her money?
"How did you come out?" Bai Junjun asked directly, squinting her eyes. "You didn't steal money from home, did you?"
Bai Junwen couldn't take it anymore, suppressing her voice, she said, "What are you talking about?"
Bai Junjun rarely saw her like this, but she was even more angry. "It's not... I just can't remember my card password. Why are you yelling at me?!"
Those who didn't know her were easily deceived by her face, and even her classmates were confused. Wasn't that card intentional?
"Bai Junwen! Do you have such a sister? If I didn't want to deal with you, would I have come over? I've already gone back to school!" Bai Junjun complained, crying like a pear blossom with rain, looking very pitiful.
That's probably why her parents liked her so much.
Bai Junwen didn't want to watch her act and couldn't argue with her. She just wanted to leave and avoid all of this.
However, Jiang Chenchen said, "That's good."
What's good?!
Others looked at her.
She took out a long bill from her pocket and handed it to Bai Junjun. "Transfer the money to me."
Bai Junjun was stunned: ?
This woman is quite good at seizing opportunities, isn't she?!
And the bill had already been stuffed into her hands.
Bai Junwen also took the opportunity to be tough, handing over that card. "Jiang Chenchen paid for the bill. Your card's password is wrong, so transfer the money to her now."
"Bai Junwen, what are you doing?"
Bai Junjun, with a green face, had already spoken those words. Now that she had cried and couldn't argue back, she had to comply.
For such an expensive meal, she still had to foot the bill in the end. The thought of it made her so angry that she could spit blood.
Bai Junjun reluctantly used her phone to transfer money to Jiang Chenchen.
She looked at the record on the phone screen, clenched her phone in anger, and lowered her voice, "Don't forget that you said you would invite Lu Su!"
