Chapter 80: Here’s Your Bill, Please Take It

Chapter 80: Here's Your Bill, Please Take It

Zhong Qi looked at Fu Yining, who was giggling while holding her phone, and couldn't help but ask, "Does your husband know we made a bet about him?"

Fu Yining stopped smiling and answered awkwardly, "I don't think he knows."

She hadn't told Yu Zhili about this. As for whether he had heard it from someone else, that was unknown.

After all, when she and Zhong Qi made this agreement, quite a few classmates overheard and volunteered to witness it.

Zhong Qi said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if he knows or not. If Yu Zhili blames you over something so trivial, I'd start to look down on him."

Fu Yining's eyes lit up.

"Are you on my side, Zhong Qi?"

"Of course!"

Although Zhong Qi was never one to spare words, she had already acknowledged Fu Yining in her heart.

After all, this bet was her idea, meant to motivate Fu Yining to pursue the boy she liked: Yu Zhili.

If she succeeded, Zhong Qi would give Fu Yining a dollar; if she failed, Fu Yining would give Zhong Qi a dollar.

Zhong Qi thought that she should probably be considered their matchmaker, right?

And as a matchmaker, not only did she not get paid, but she also lost a dollar. Talk about a loss!

Thinking of this, Zhong Qi picked up the cup on the table and angrily took a big gulp.

"Zhong Qi, please drink slowly!"

"Fu Xiaoning, don't call me that!"

"Okay, Zhong Xiaoqi!"

Hearing these two familiar nicknames, both of them suddenly laughed.

Zhong Qi crossed her arms, snorted, and said, "Fu Xiaoning, how can you laugh at me? If I hadn't covered for you back then, could you have slept so soundly in class?"

Fu Yining immediately retorted, "Zhong Xiaoqi, you're talking nonsense. Who slept in class? It was you who secretly painted your nails under the desk during class!"

"Didn't you?"

"Even if I did, I wasn't willing!"

"Pfft, I don't believe you!"

"You don't believe me, fine. Hey, do you remember that guy from high school, the one who..."

The two started chatting about their high school antics, and the barrier between them disappeared.

True friends don't have many barriers. Clearing up some misunderstandings was all it took.

After her check-up, Song Qingyu came over alone.

"Mom, I'm finished."

"Okay."

"Niece-in-law is here, come and sit!"

Seeing the suddenly enthusiastic Zhong Qi, Song Qingyu hesitated for a moment before walking forward.

Zhong Qi looked at the beautiful and charming woman in front of her and thought, with such a good girl here, how come her elder nephew is interested in Fang Fei's daughter? Clearly, both Fu Yining and Yu Zhili have good tastes, but their son's eyes seem to have a problem.

Is this what they call 'dragons and phoenixes turning into something... less impressive'?

Sympathetically sighing, Zhong Qi comforted, "Niece-in-law, don't worry, in a few days, come to my company with your mother-in-law. I'll introduce some handsome guys to you!"

It’s not like men are hard to find. Chasing Stars Entertainment has plenty of handsome guys with great physiques.

What is this aunt talking about?

Song Qingyu looked at Fu Yining with confusion, and Fu Yining nodded, "What she said is right. In a few days, I'll take you there to broaden your horizons. They say that looking at handsome men and beautiful women during pregnancy will make the baby look good."

Song Qingyu: Is there really such a saying?

"Then I'll listen to you."

"Hmm."

Zhong Qi turned to Fu Yining and instructed, "Let me know when you're coming, and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."

"Okay," Fu Yining said with a smile in her eyes.

Recalling what Zhong Qi had said before about becoming the person in charge of the family company, in the future, whenever Fu Yining wanted to see a celebrity, Zhong Qi would bring them over for her to meet. That’s how bossy she was!

Twenty years later, Zhong Qi's wish came true, and it seemed Fu Xiaoning’s dream of living a carefree, laid-back life also came true.

Fang Fei couldn't contact Fu Yining for a long time and even realized that Fu Yining had deleted her. After agonizing over it for a few days, a cousin from her mother's side came to find her, saying she wanted to buy a new bag and asking Fang Fei to help her pick one.

Of course, Fang Fei, being generous, would end up paying for it.

In a moment of impulse, Fang Fei took her cousin to her favorite stores for a shopping spree.

"Sister, do you think this bag suits me?"

Her cousin slung a brown leather bag over her shoulder and posed in front of the mirror with Fang Fei standing next to her.

When they entered, the staff greeted Fang Fei one after another, giving her plenty of face in front of her cousin, which put Fang Fei in a good mood.

Looking at her cousin in the mirror, Fang Fei said, "If you like this bag, I’ll have them wrap it up for you as a gift."

"Wow, sis, you’re so generous! Can I check out some other styles too?"

Fang Fei beamed with pride.

Later, she would, as usual, charge the bill to Fu Yining. This way, she could do a favor and not spend a penny—it was a perfect arrangement for her.

Seeing this, her cousin didn’t hesitate to take full advantage, selecting seven bags to use on different days of the week without repeating.

"Wrap these bags up and have someone deliver them to XXX later."

"Okay, Mrs. Zheng."

"Sis, you’re like my real sister! You’re too good to me! Oh, and I’ll just take this one with me now."

"Sure, here you are!"

The younger cousin watched the staff take away the bags she had chosen, and her eyes flashed with a hint of envy as she looked at Fang Fei.

These bags weren’t exactly cheap, but her cousin seemed to get them without a second thought, which made her feel envious.

Fang Fei gave a polite smile and said to her, "Wait here for a sec, I’ll go pay for these."

"Okay, sister!"

As her cousin watched her walk away, she touched the newly acquired bag, thinking that once she got tired of these bags, she’d ask her cousin for more when she got tired of them.

However, her cousin Fang Fei seemed to be encountering some trouble.

"What do you mean by this? Didn’t I tell you to charge this to Madam Yu’s account?"

The staff member maintained a perfect smile and replied, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Zheng, but Madam Yu said that your bill needs to be paid by you. Also, here is the total bill for your previous purchases at our store."

"Will you be paying by cash, card, or another method?"

Fang Fei lost her cool when the staff member politely asked how she wanted to pay.

She exclaimed, "When did Madam Yu say this would happen? How come I wasn’t informed?"

"Madam Yu mentioned this a while back. Didn’t she tell you?" the staff member smiled.

Last time, they charged Fu Yining without informing her, and her lawyer almost got them fired.

Now, they had learned their lesson and strictly followed Fu Yining's instructions. As for the current Mrs. Zheng...

It only made sense that she should pay for her own purchases, right?
