“I am not lying.” Huo Mian was still denying it.
“Okay, then let’s make a bet. If you’re lying to me, we’ll do it three times tonight, okay?”
“No,” Huo Mian firmly rejected the bet.
“You’re still saying that you’re not lying?” There was no way Qin Chu would believe her foolish words.
Upon realizing that her cover was blown, Huo Mian helplessly took out the red booklet from her bag.
Qin Chu looked through it… and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.
“It’s not bad… perfect in every subject. With this mark, you can be dubbed the ‘number 1 medical scholar in C City’.”
“What scholar, I don’t care about that… but from now on, I don’t have to worry anymore… Otherwise, I would always be scared of others reporting me everytime I assist with surgery. After all, I didn’t have this booklet.”
“But now it’s alright, you can do whatever you wish and call yourself the ‘Queen of South Side’.”
“Yup, I can walk sideways from now on…” Huo Mian laughed.
“This really is good news… how should we celebrate? Which restaurant should we go to?”
“I have an idea, let’s go to South Hill Manor, alright? Zhu Lingling and Gao Ran haven’t been there yet, right?”
“That’s not a bad idea.” Qin Chu nodded.
“We can call my mom, Zhixin, and Yue. This is a perfect opportunity for them to reconcile… right, and Xiaowei too.”
“Okay, whatever you say.”
Qin Chu looked at Huo Mian, who was excited like a little kid, and his own mood became strangely pleasant as well…
Then, Huo Mian called Uncle Li…
Uncle Li immediately asked the chefs to prepare dinner.
Huo Mian began calling her guests one after another, letting them know that dinner was at 7:30 PM.
Then, she went with Qin Chu to buy some fruits and seafood; they were so busy that they barely had time to catch their breaths.
– On the other hand –
Wei Liao was going to have dinner with Su Yu and the others, but he became hesitant after receiving Jiang Xiaowei’s call.
“What’s going on?”
“Xiaowei called and asked me to go to Huo Mian’s house.”
“Why are you going to her house?” Tang Chuan was a little curious.
“Huo Mian passed her test today and wants to celebrate at their South Hill Manor. Xiaowei was invited… Recently, the girl’s been watching me very closely, so she’s bringing me along.”
“Oh, that’s pretty good, you should go.” Su Yu nodded.
“My god, you’re not bringing Yu to an event as good as this?”
“I…” Wei Liao seemed a little troubled; if Su Yu went, the nature of the evening would be different. They were all adults and all understood that.
They wouldn’t be able to pass it off like something as simple as bringing a friend…
“I still have something to do and will be returning to my parent’s place soon, you should go.”
Before anyone had to say anything, Su Yu refused to go…
– 7:35 PM –
At Huo Mian and Qin Chu’s South Hill Manor, a big round table was filled with twenty-eight dishes.
There was an endless supply of Boston lobsters and two-headed abalones… There were also king crabs, sea snail, and bamboo shrimps, all as fresh as they could be.
The fruits were all cut and plated. Everyone got their own serving, which had a rainbow assortment of colors, with the aroma of cherries, honeydews, kiwis, and pineapples spreading around.
Zhu Lingling took out her phone, filmed a little video and uploaded it to her WeChat friend circle…
Then, she added a caption – a feast at some filthy rich girl’s house.
Everyone took pictures and uploaded them to their friend circles, and enjoyed an unbelievable night of fun.
It was the first time Yang Meirong came to her daughter’s home at South Hill Manor.
She felt like a villager who went into a palace for the first time, as everything intrigued her, causing her to look left and right.
Looking at Huo Mian’s red booklet, Jiang Xiaowei laughed and said, “No wonder you’re a genius, you got a perfect score on your first try. You really aren’t leaving a way out for other people.”
“My life motto is to walk on other people’s paths and leave them with no path,” Huo Mian jokingly said.
Just then, Jing Zhixin secretly tugged on his sister’s sleeve…
“Sis, come here for a moment.”
“What’s up?”
“Did Yue say that she would come? Why isn’t she here yet?”
“Oh, right, I’ll call her again.” After speaking, Huo Mian took out her phone and dialed Huang Yue’s number again.
