Chapter 733: Chapter 732: Invitation to Meal_1 Chapter 733: Chapter 732: Invitation to Meal_1 Zhong Qing: “…”
Yin Xiaobai, your favoritism is unreal. Why don’t you show this much excitement when I compliment you? Is there any hope left in this face-conscious world?
“Wang Yi, so you guys are here?”
As the voice fell, everyone turned their heads to look, spotting a tall girl with a babyface approaching, her smile sweet: “Today, I am hosting a dinner for our classmates at the King Hotel. I don’t know if you would be able to grace us with your presence?”
Qiao Xiaren didn’t recognise her, it was Wang Yi who explained: “This is Lin Xi, the heiress of the Linye Group and also our classmate.”
Besides the four prominent families, there are many other wealthy families in the Capital, a real dragon’s den. The fact that someone is the heiress of a conglomerate made Qiao Xiaren truly feel this.
But it was quite a coincidence that the hotel named King was owned by Qiao Xiaren’s family. She had previously heard her grandfather say that they had set up many entertainment facilities within the hotel.
“Of course, who would refuse a free meal?” Qiao Xiaren replied with an icy stare. Ignoring Lin Xi’s intentions to approach them, her somewhat pushy demeanor was already making Qiao Xiaren uncomfortable.
“Great, see you tonight. I’ve reserved a top-class private room, you just need to show up.” Lin Xi purposely glanced at Qiao Xiaren and left with a meaningful look.
“We’ve never really interacted much with Miss Lin, I wonder why she suddenly wants to invite us to dinner?” Yin Xiaobai, clearly not understanding, flicked his slightly curled hair, “Showing off isn’t she? Just because she’s an heiress of the Lin Family. Tossing out any surname in the Capital could squash her, what’s there to be proud of! It’s as if we can’t afford to dine at King!”
Zhong Qing casually replied, “What’s there to be afraid of? She’s footing the bill, it won’t affect us. Moreover, it’s King Hotel! I heard even a casual meal there can cost tens of thousands, I’m really excited!”
Qiao Xiaren and Wang Yi didn’t utter a word, their exchanged glances understood each other’s thoughts and they laughed.
Ever since the King Hotel gained popularity in the Capital two years ago, even Wang Yi had never personally visited it. Since someone was offering themselves up on a plate, they wouldn’t mind a try.
“Are you still going to have your milk tea? Save your appetite, we have to eat her money’s worth at dinner this evening.” Zhong Qing tossed Qiao Xiaren’s milk tea into the trash, throwing a “yay” gesture.
Wang Yi shook her head helplessly.
Qiao Xiaren stood up, “Let’s go then, Professor Wu’s class will start soon.”
The remaining few quickly followed, fearing a scolding for being late.
As expected, Lin Xi had sent invitations to the entire class, asking them to dine at King Hotel and partake in other entertainment activities.
These are all young people around twenty, hearing that someone was inviting them to dine, especially at King Hotel, they were naturally thrilled. Qiao Xiaren and her friends simply didn’t care, they would just go together in the afternoon.
Unintentionally, Qiao Xiaren overheard some gossip.
“You really do need a good family background to find a equally successful husband in the future. Life is truly different for those who were born with a silver spoon. They lead a privileged life while we are just ordinary people.”
“That’s not necessarily true. What if you hook up with a wealthy family’s son, wouldn’t that elevate your status?”
“Hmph, unequal statuses will eventually lead to a breakup. I can’t wait to see someone tumble from their high pedestal…”
