Ye Minran already disliked Yan Jinyi in the first place. Now that Yan Jinyi was also helping Tan Sangsang bully the people from her clique, she loathed Yan Jinyi even more.
"Jinyi, Xiao Xue was just asking out of curiosity. Why do you have to be so overbearing? You're now a public figure after all, you shouldn't be acting this way, should you?"
"You didn't find out more about me, did you?" Yan Jinyi asked rhetorically.
'Find out more? You're just an actress, what's there to find out? I'm a rich man's wife now.' Ye Minran thought to herself in disdain.
Ye Minran continued, "I just think that since we're classmates, we shouldn't make things too awkward and tense now that we're having a gathering after so many years of not meeting each other."
Chen Haisheng chimed in, "That's right, that's right let's clear all the misunderstandings that we have about each other. We're all adults now, we shouldn't be so calculative with each other, right? Minran, isn't you husband going to drop by? We want to thank him on behalf of the class!"
In an instant, everyone's attention was on Ye Minran again, especially her clique of followers who were acting as if they were the ones that were married to a rich man.
"Yes, Minran's husband is one of the richest people in our city, and I heard that he knows many bigwigs here. This time, he's here to have a meal with Mr. Tang, the CEO of Tang Corporation!"
"It's my husband's blessing to be able to have a meal with Mr. Tang. Don't make it seem so exaggerated, you guys," Ye Minran said pretending to be modest. "Jinyi, you celebrities often have to entertain big bosses so you probably dine at fancy restaurants all the time. I don't know if you've been to this hotel, my husband said the food here is ranked among the best in the country. Feel free to order what you want, don't stand on ceremony with me."
She was just showing off.
Yan Jinyi glanced at her with a straight face before suddenly saying with a smile, "We'll have one portion of each of the most expensive dishes on the menu."
After saying that, she sat down on the sofa to rest.
She thought that Yan Jinyi would be polite and totally didn't expect that she would order the most expensive dishes on the menu in the restaurant.
Ye Minran was a little surprised. Although her husband's family was quite affluent, her mother-in-law was very strict. Now that Yan Jinyi had ordered so many expensive dishes, the meal would definitely cost a bomb.
If Ye Minran's mother-in-law were to find out, she would definitely have to face the music.
Seeing that Ye Minran seemed a little sullen, Yan Jinyi deliberately mocked with derision, "Why? Ye Minran, are you feeling the pinch? Well, that makes sense, the food here is quite expensive. I can't afford it anyway and I thought I could get a good meal today thanks to you but since you can't bear to, let's forget it."
She then picked up her purse, which was beside her, and got ready to leave with Tan Sangsang.
"It doesn't cost that much, why can't I bear to?" Ye Minran said with a hypocritical smile and secretly clenched her fists while cursing Yan Jinyi.
"Oh, based on your expression just now I thought you couldn't bear to pay for it."
"You must have misunderstood. Jinyi, you just said you can't afford to eat here. Why is that so? Actresses like you should earn quite a far bit of money, right?"
Yan Jinyi sighed and said, "Well, inflation is driving prices up greatly. It's not like I'm the emperor's daughter."
Hearing her words, Ye Minran couldn't help but boast and flaunt her wealth again. "Oh, I see. It's true that things are getting more expensive and prices are skyrocketing. Fortunately, my husband loves me, so he insists on buying me the most expensive things and doesn't want to let me suffer by using cheap things. Jinyi, youth is the greatest capital for actresses. I advise you to find a good man and get married while you're still young. You're quite a good catch yourself, you should be able to easily get married to those divorced big bosses."
'Divorced big bosses? What kind of misunderstanding does Ye Minran have about me?'
