Chapter 69: Where Did This Fool Co From?
Actually, when it ca to situations between n and won, they themselves might be confused, but bystanders could definitely see things clearly.
Lin Mo also couldn’t figure out why Wang Chu, in his senior year, suddenly started acting a bit flattering. Was it because of adding her on WeChat, which gave them so so-called interaction?
After all, before this, Wang Chu was only talking big. Not only did he not even have her contact information, at most he just participated in a few activities organized by Zhao Tingting. The two of them hardly had any contact.
Now he even knew how to send flowers and give gifts. Although there was so coincidence in it, this was definitely no small progress. It was just unclear whether it was good or bad.
“Sorry, we’re late. Happy birthday.”
Lin Mo and Sichuan Girl stepped forward to greet, and at the sa ti handed over their gifts.
Since they were attending soone else’s birthday, they couldn’t very well co empty-handed. But as for spending too much money, there was no need. He and Sichuan Girl each held a teddy bear doll packaged in a transparent plastic box. It wasn’t expensive, just a hundred or so yuan.
The gift was chosen earlier that afternoon by Wang Chu when he went out. After all, neither he nor Sichuan Girl was in the mood for this, especially Sichuan Girl, who didn’t even want to co at all. For this, Wang Chu deliberately covered Sichuan Girl’s gift, telling her she just needed to bring her mouth and co eat.
As for Lin Mo himself, Wang Chu didn’t have to cover for him. After all, Zhao Tingting had personally invited him. No matter what their relationship was, since she had given him the ssage, it was nothing more than going over to eat. Mainly, it was Wang Chu who was so eager!
“Thank you. Not at all, you’ve actually arrived early.” Zhao Tingting accepted the gift with a very bright smile, then continued:
“I thought you ca by taxi, but I didn’t expect you to drive yourself. This car is Xiaomi, right? I saw it online, it’s really popular. Lin, you’ve really been hiding your talents!”
This car had been trending online recently, so naturally she knew its value. Although it wasn’t one of those million-yuan luxury cars, most people who bought it were wealthy and treated it as a toy.
After all, families with just average conditions, for the sa price, would definitely choose sothing more practical. They would rarely consider this car.
“A friend’s car. I borrowed it for a couple of days. I can’t afford it.” Lin Mo waved his hand, not even bothering to pretend. He wasn’t here to pose as so rich second generation.
But although he thought that way, Zhao Tingting clearly didn’t believe it. You can’t afford it? Was the Nautilus on your wrist also borrowed?
After all, compared to cars, watches were just accessories. Their function of telling ti hardly mattered anymore. For soone who could buy this watch, how could it be impossible to afford a car of similar price?
However, she didn’t refute him, but instead skipped the topic and said: “Alright, let’s go in quickly. I’ll let the waiter bring out the dishes.”
Saying that, she led the three inside the restaurant. Naturally, the three had no objections. Wang Chu and Zhao Tingting walked in front, while Lin Mo and Sichuan Girl walked side by side behind them.
Inside the restaurant, Zhao Tingting pushed open the private room door while holding a bouquet of white roses.
“Co, let introduce you. These three are our classmates from the sa major.” Zhao Tingting set the flowers on a nearby cabinet, then began the introductions. She then said to the three: “These ones you don’t know are the student council officers from the next year. They ca along to join the fun.”
When Lin Mo and the others ca in, they saw there were already two boys and four girls seated inside. Counting the three of them plus Zhao Tingting, there were exactly ten people—five boys and five girls.
Among the four girls, two were people they knew. One was their class monitor, Wang Jing, and the other was Zhao Tingting’s female classmate.
As for the remaining two boys and two girls, Lin Mo had no impression. They must have been from the next year.
“Lin Mo, you guys ca too?”
Just then, Wang Jing saw the three and looked pleasantly surprised. She waved directly at them, motioning for them to sit over.
Hearing this, Lin Mo and the others didn’t hesitate. They nodded at the unfamiliar people, then sat down next to Wang Jing.
“Ah, the monitor ca too.” Lin Mo said.
Sichuan Girl and Wang Chu also blinked at Wang Jing, since they were all pretty familiar.
“Of course. My relationship with Zhao Tingting is alright. I just didn’t expect she would invite you.” Wang Jing looked at him, her tone carrying so hidden aning.
Lin Mo didn’t think much of it. He shook his head with a smile and whispered: “Don’t say you didn’t expect it. I didn’t either. We just bumped into each other at the library today.”
Then Lin Mo quietly told her the whole story. After listening, the class monitor looked him up and down, then revealed a aningful smile.
“Oh my, an accidental encounter huh. Tsk, tsk, tsk, just as expected. Once soone gets handso, even their luck improves!”
Just as the two were whispering, Zhao Tingting had already asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Sichuan Girl was playing on her phone, checking her account data, while Wang Chu was occasionally trying to chat with Zhao Tingting.
Zhao Tingting’s female classmate was chatting with the other two girls, while the remaining two boys kept talking with Zhao Tingting.
Once all the dishes were served, Zhao Tingting spoke up: “Thank you, everyone, for coming to celebrate my birthday. I’ll toast to you all.”
Having been active in the student council for several years in college, Zhao Tingting’s social skills were quite strong. Handling such a small occasion was a piece of cake.
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip. Lin Mo, since he was driving, drank a soft drink. Aside from Wang Jing and Zhao Tingting’s female classmate, everyone else drank beer. The atmosphere in the private room soon beca quite lively.
Lin Mo ate heartily. Today’s spread was not bad—fish, shrimp, even a plate of small lobsters, altogether seventeen or eighteen dishes. In the middle of the table stood a huge birthday cake. Since he had skipped lunch, he was really hungry now.
Then ca the candle-blowing, cake-cutting, and wishing process. So people cheered, while others, like Lin Mo, just quietly ate. Wang Jing and Sichuan Girl were the sa.
Ti passed quickly, and in an hour and a half, the al was nearly finished. At that ti, one of the other two boys, nad Zhou Yong, egged Zhao Tingting on to open her gifts.
“Senior, open them! I’ll record a video for you, keep it as a mory.” Zhou Yong laughed.
This person looked decent, with good height—at least over 1.8 ters. Outgoing in personality and good at talking, he had been the noisiest earlier.
“Well… alright then.” Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhao Tingting didn’t act coy and sat down to open the gifts.
One by one, Zhao Tingting opened them—aromatherapy sets, porcelain ornants, wood carvings, brooches. All were delicate little gifts, not expensive. After all, they were students. The main point was the sentint.
For each gift, Zhao Tingting first praised it, then expressed surprise, and finally gave thanks. The emotional value was maxed out.
“These two teddy bears are so cute. Thank you to both handso guys.” Zhao Tingting thanked him and Li Chuan.
The two of them smiled, then raised their glasses and clinked them.
Then ca Wang Chu’s gift, taken from that bouquet of white roses. Inside was a Dior lipstick.
“Wow, I’ve wanted this lipstick for so long. Thank you!” Zhao Tingting thanked Wang Chu.
Wang Chu waved his hands repeatedly, grinning foolishly: “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. As long as you like it. I wish you beco more and more beautiful, just like this bouquet of flowers.”
Everything was going well—until suddenly, a voice rang out.
“This lipstick is pretty average. On young girls, it looks a bit old.”
Everyone: ???
At that mont, the sa thought flashed through everyone’s mind—
‘Where did this fool co from?’
