The cost of the red braised meat and beef dish would amount to about 700 Radiance dollars.
This was roughly four months of Tian Ningning’s salary.
Although it pained Tian Ningning to spend so much on a meal, she felt that it was worth it.
The chance to meet her idol was priceless.
“Hi, I would like to pay with my money instead. Please return the 10,000 Radiance dollars to that gentleman.”
The staff at the counter of the Spirit Food Pavilion smiled politely and replied, “I’m so sorry, but there’s a rule in the Spirit Food Pavilion meant to prevent people fighting for the bill. As long as someone has paid in advance, all the costs will be deducted from that amount. If you insist on paying, you can return the money to that gentleman yourself.”
Tian Ningning ma.s.saged her head.
She had already declared that she was going to treat Lin Yuan to a meal. Yet now, he had ended up footing the bill.
As happy as she was to be treated to a meal by her idol, she still felt bad.
At that moment, an unpleasant voice said, “Hehe, so we meet again. Don’t you know how to use the bell in the room? You don’t have to make a personal trip out here yourself. But since you’re here, it saves me some trouble.”
Tian Ningning furrowed her brow at the thin-lipped girl.
It had not been long since Tian Ningning last heard her contemptuous voice.
Previously, Tian Ningning had forced herself to quell her anger. It was only when she met Lin Yuan that all her anger dissipated.
But now that she was hearing that thin-lipped girl’s voice again, fury once again surged within Tian Ningning.
Tian Ningning was initially a mild-mannered person. But after joining Black’s fan club, she had become influenced into a foul-mouthed girl.
One had to think carefully before becoming loose-lipped in front of a foul-mouthed girl.
Just as Tian Ningning was about to rebuke the thin-lipped girl, she thought of Lin Yuan back in the Depending on Plums Room and hurriedly swallowed her scathing words.
Instead, she said, “Why are you looking for me? When you s.n.a.t.c.hed the Floating Bamboo Room from me, I let you have it. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to return to my meal now.”
Tian Ningning was about to leave when the thin-lipped girl stopped her.
“I also want the Depending on Plums Room. I don’t care if you’re eating alone or with someone, just leave now.”
Cai Qing’s words immediately made the scathing remarks that Tian Ningning had swallowed boil over, and she exclaimed, “Who cares if you want it? Just how much s.p.a.ce do you need? Isn’t the Floating Bamboo Room big enough for you? I let you have the Floating Bamboo Room because I wanted to avoid trouble. Just how shameless are you? How dare you demand to have the Depending on Plums Room as well? Does your family own the Spirit Food Pavilion?”
Tian Ningning shot Cai Qing a deadly glare before turning to say to the waiter, “She says that she wants the Depending on Plums Room, but I’m far from done eating. You must settle this matter now!”
Tian Ningning had spent a fair sum to invite Lin Yuan to have a meal at the Spirit Food Pavilion, and she was not going to let the matter go.
If she settled the matter before Lin Yuan came out of the Depending on Plums Room, she would not disturb him.
There was no way that she would allow herself to be bullied.
How dare this disgusting witch cross her?
It had been extremely easy for Cai Qing to s.n.a.t.c.h the Floating Bamboo Room from Tian Ningning, and she a.s.sumed that it would be just as easy to take the Depending on Plums Room.
She never imagined that she would meet with such blowback.
Tian Ningning’s words rendered Cai Qing momentarily speechless.
Cai Qing usually spoke with a forked tongue, but she had met her match in Tian Ningning.
Cai Qing raised her voice and shrieked. “Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that?”
Tian Ningning rolled her eyes at Cai Qing and replied, “Since you want to announce who you are, I happen to be a Star Web reporter. I might be an exclusive reporter, but I can write opinionated articles as well. Pray tell, who are you? You act all high and mighty here and even have the gall to s.n.a.t.c.h a room that was booked by someone else. Does your family own the Spirit Food Pavilion?”
Cai Qing was just about to reveal her ident.i.ty and crush this Cla.s.s 2 Star Web reporter to the ground with the power of her 50-year-old veteran faction family, but she could not seem to push the words out.
Her uncle was a manager at the Royal Capital’s Spirit Food Pavilion.
Whenever her uncle was working, she acted as though her family owned the Spirit Food Pavilion.
However, the Spirit Food Pavilion;s rules were all set by that person, and not even her uncle could go against the rules.
Thus, even if Cai Qing called her uncle over, she had no right to chase other customers out of the Depending on Plums Room.
Tian Ningning’s expression was frigidly grim.
She pursed her lips and said, “If your family doesn’t own the Spirit Food Pavilion, why are you here shooting your mouth off?”
Tian Ningning pushed aside Cai Qing and walked off toward the Depending on Plums Room.
Da Qu’s brow was tightly furrowed.
However, he was not glaring at Tian Ningning but Cai Qing instead.
Cai Qing had sworn to everyone in the Floating Bamboo Room that she would be able to open the wall to join the Floating Bamboo Room and Depending on Plums Room.
Not only had she spoken boldly, but she had dragged Da Wu into it as well. If Cai Qing failed to make good on her promise, both of them would be humiliated when they returned.
“Young Master Miao is coming. It’s fine if you can’t connect the two rooms. But if Young Master Miao hears that you failed despite your uncle working today, all of the good impressions he had of you because of your connection to the Spirit Food Pavilion will be gone. He’ll toss you aside immediately.”
Cai Qing’s expression immediately soured.
