Chapter 245: Thanks, but no need

Translator: _Min_

Gu Dai couldnt help but let out a snicker.

Sheng Xin, taken aback, regained her composure and asked, What are you laughing at?

Gu Dai casually replied, Your necklace is fake.

Sheng Xin scoffed, How could that be possible?

Then she accused, 1 get it, youre just jealous of me, arent you?

Gu Dai knew the necklace was fake because she was acquainted with the designer of the actual necklace, which had already been gifted to her and was currently in her jewelry box.

Gu Dai didnt argue with Sheng Xin, but simply suggested, You might want to ask your friend if the necklace is real or not.

Sheng Xin, confident, sent a message to her friend. However, as time pa.s.sed, her expression grew increasingly troubled, her grip on her phone tightening.

Turning to Gu Dai with an angry look, Sheng Xin claimed, My friend must have been deceived too, but even if its a counterfeit, its still something you could never afford in your lifetime.

Gu Dai nodded, responding, Indeed, I dont buy fakes.

Before Sheng Xin could react, Gu Dai questioned her, If your friend was indeed deceived, why would they block your contact? And can you be sure they didnt profit from it?

Sheng Xins face turned even more sour, defiantly saying, Even if I was deceived, what does it have to do with you? Im wealthy; a little loss like this doesnt bother me.

Gu Dai pointed out, If you hadnt intentionally shown off your necklace to me, I wouldnt have noticed it was a fake.

Sheng Xin was stunned, realizing Gu Dai had seen through her intentions.

Sheng Xin had fantasized about outcla.s.sing Gu Dai, making her feel inferior, but she hadnt expected to be the one embarra.s.sed in the end.

w.a.n.g Lan stepped in to comfort her, Xinxin, dont bother with such low-cla.s.s people. Remember, you have the VIP for this restaurant, and you can enjoy dishes personally served by Chef Feng Fei!

Sheng Xin felt that w.a.n.g Lan was being overly pretentious, but the unpleasant expression on his face eased somewhat as she responded with a simple, Mhmm.

w.a.n.g Lan glanced at Gu Dai and made a sly remark, Having the head chef serve the dishes personally is a privilege not everyone can enjoy. Some less capable people can only watch from the side.

Yang Yi, realizing that w.a.n.g Lans comment was a jab at Gu Dai, couldnt contain herself and let out a snort of laughter.

w.a.n.g Lans menacing gaze fell on Yang Yi.

Before w.a.n.g Lan could confront her, Gu Dai interjected, Since the chef is personally serving you, why not order some signature dishes?

Not wanting to seem inferior to Gu Dai, Sheng Xin quickly said, Well order!

Then, looking at Gu Dai disdainfully, she said, You, being a waitress here, must know the menu well. Order what you think tastes good.

Gu Dai warned, What if it doesnt suit your taste

Sheng Xin retorted coldly, Doesnt matter. I dont expect you to choose what suits me. After all, youve probably never eaten here yourself.

Gu Dai, without a word, silently chose the dishes from the menu and asked before sending it to the chef, Do you want to see what Ive ordered?

w.a.n.g Lan, impatient, said, Xinxin already said no need to check. Why bother asking, do you think we cant afford it?

Gu Dai curled her lips into a mocking smile. Since the two had presented themselves as targets, she thought, they shouldnt blame her for choosing the most expensive items for them.

Sheng Xin, satisfied, her chin raised high, arrogantly told Gu Dai, After we finish eating, you can have our leftovers to experience what the upper cla.s.s eats.

Gu Dai declined, Thanks, but no need. Ive eaten here before.

When w.a.n.g Lan learned that Gu Dai was actually the heiress of the Gu family, she was initially frightened for several days. However, she later heard rumors that the Gu Group was a shadow of its former self, essentially a hollow sh.e.l.l on the verge of bankruptcy.

When w.a.n.g Lan heard this news, any gloom in her heart instantly dissipated. Now, hearing Gu Dai claim she had tasted the dish before, w.a.n.g Lan simply thought it was a facade of strength.

Sheng Xin was surprised to hear that Gu Dai had tried the dish, but didnt dwell on it, a.s.suming she had eaten it previously while married to Song Ling at the Song family.

The thought of Gu Dai being with Song Ling, however, sparked a flash of jealousy in Sheng Xin. She lowered her gaze and softly said, Song Ling is quite satisfied with me, 1 might marry him in the future.

Gu Dai nodded in response, playing along with a simple, Oh..
