My Online Cloud Girlfriend

Chapter 32: True Cost

(I find this novel fun to translate)

Hearing Yang Nuans question, the little ones replied in unison.

"We checked it carefully."

"That shop is extremely popular!.

"That's right, that's right~. The amount of people going inside the shop is almost endless. Even in the afternoon, there were still people waiting outside.

"And besides, the young lady at the front desk was not very enthusiastic about the guests."

Hearing this, Yang Nuan nodded, "Sure enough."

"Then we know for sure that Chen Yan invited us to dinner last night in a private room."

When Yang Nuan said so, the three little ones exclaimed,

"A private room!?.

"Gosh~ How much does that cost?."

"Yes, yes. That restaurant is very popular.

As the three little ones were emotional, Zhao Ying, who had been standing next to them, said, "Thirty-five thousand yuan."

Several question marks appeared on the heads of the other four girls, and they looked at her curiously.

Then Yang Nuan asked, Sister Ying. You said thirty-five thousand...?"

Zhao Ying loosened the black belt around her waist, and replied blankly, "I asked someone today. The price of the private room there is thirty-five thousand yuan for only 4 hours. (T/L: $4,827)

"No way!" Yang Nuan and the little ones gasped in surprise.

They thought that the meal Chen Yan bought last night would be expensive, but they really didn't expect it to be an exaggerated amount!

Thirty-five thousand!

This is a year's salary for many ordinary people! (T/L: Applies only to China)

Whats more is he used this money to invite them for only a meal!?

Yang Nuan, who had always been confident, had a pale expression.

If it was a few thousand dollars, you could receive it from a few people in the dormitory.

Even if it was 5,000 yuan, Yang Nuan would go home and behave like a spoiled child since her family's conditions are not a big problem.

But 20 thousand

Then, even if you sell her, its not enough!

With that in mind, she began to ponder.

If Yu Qiaoqiao learned that the cost of inviting them to dinner was more than 30,000 yuan!

My God

Yang Nuan couldn't imagine how troubling that scene would be.

The three little ones who had been playing around were no longer playing at this time.

One by one, they took off the black towel from their heads, and then stood aside, lowered their heads, and secretly exchanged glances with each other.

This is not over yet

Zhao Ying raised her head and said blankly, "As for the pen, I also asked around.

Its 10,000 yuan." (T/N: $1,383)

Yang Nuans face turned paler.

The little one's reactions were not that different from hers.

They were shocked by the thirty-five thousand price just now, yet faced with six pens that add up to 10,000, they couldnt help but gasp!

"The pens are ten thousand yuan! That makes the total to forty-five thousand.

"Oh my God. Why are these pens so expensive? I really didn't expect it."

"Well. The pens do look ordinary.

And just as the three little ones sighed, Zhao Ying added expressionlessly, "It's not a total of ten thousand. It's an additional 40 thousand.

The three little ones took a breath of air frustratedly.

The words they wanted to say were stuck in their throats.

Zhao Ying continued, "So, it's not forty-five thousand. It's ninety-five yuan.

She paused and emphasized, "Chen Yan spent ninety-five thousand yuan on us last night."

The three little ones swallowed in suspense, already completely afraid to speak.

Yang Nuan's face was also pale and bloodless.

She silently put the folder on the table, and then whispered, I researched for information today and accidentally found the trademark of this pen. I found out that this is a Wanbao brand pen.

"Wanbao is the world's best pen manufacturer, but it hasn't been popularized in the domestic market, so most of us wouldnt know much about it."

"Because of the lack of information, I haven't found out which series of pens this is. I also thought it was just a 1,000 yuan ordinary product."

"The result...was surprising.

To think its so expensive..."

Speaking of which, Yang Nuan couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Ying is Sister Ying."

Being direct and straight to the point.

"You must have been investigating for the whole day, right?.

Zhao Ying titled her head and replied with a question mark on her face, "No. I was practicing my punches today. I did no investigation at all."

Yang Nuan: ??

Three little ones: ??

Yang Nuan murmured puzzledly, "Then you?"

Zhao Ying, "Someone notified me about an emergency in my house.

Yang Nuan: ...

Three little ones: ...

Yang Nuan asked suspiciously, "Your home? Are your parents safe?.

Zhao Ying nodded her head, "Yes. You know, even our butler has bodyguards."

Yang Nuan: ??

The three little ones tilted their heads together: ??

Butler?

Bodyguard?

Sister Ying, what kind of family is this...?

No wonder she usually looks like a gangster, her family situation is dicy

Seeing the shock of her roommates, Zhao Ying began to show off her elderly sister's aura.

She patted several girls on the shoulders, and said, "Oh, don't look so scared.

"I come from an ordinary family."

Yang Nuan and the three littles one just looked at her: Well... an ordinary family with bodyguards for even the workers.

Zhao Ying: ...

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, she changed the subject decisively,

"As for the things Chen Yan sent, there's no reason to care about it.

"Isn't only worth so much?.

"For me, it's a miniscule value.

"Instead, should we not be more concerned about Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao?."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's eyes flashed with gossip light.

Regarding the money situation, Yang Nuan and the others were in no mood to joke around.

She rubbed her head in frustration and said, Sister Ying. This money may not be a big deal to you. But its really a lot for us."

More so for Qiaoqiao, it is an unimaginable number."

"It will crush her."

"And...Chen Yan sent so many valuable things, what if he tries to use that to blackmail Qiaoqiao?.

He wouldnt dare!" Zhao Ying raised her head, patted her flat chest and said, "I am here. No one will dare bully you!.

"Do not worry."

"It's only a small amount of money. Even if he gives hundreds of thousands of gifts, it is just pocket money to me."

"So, please do not worry."

"Besides... I think Chen Yan is a nice person."

So, arent you all worrying a bit too much?.

Hearing what Zhao Ying said, Yang Nuan finally asked the question that had always been poking her heart, "Sister Ying. Why do you always trust Chen Yan so much? And, why do you help him every time?.

Zhao Ying thought for a while, and replied, "I can't tell you.

"Well... To reassure you I know he has no malicious intent towards Qiaoqiao.

Her simple mind, coupled with her usual practice of martial arts since childhood, has made her become very intuitive.

The reason why they were all able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other, unlike in the other female dormitories who were fighting each day, was all because of Zhao Yings intuition and carefree attitude.

If she didn't feel that Chen Yan had bad intentions, then it is very possible that hes being really sincere to Yu Qiaoqiao.

With Zhao Ying's willingness to "take action with righteousness" and "turn the tide", the group of girls sighed in relief.

Anyhow, as long as Sister Ying said it's all good, whats the use of being worried?.

That's how reliable Sister Ying is!

With the problem at hand being resolved, the three little ones also began to become active.

One by one they raised their heads and asked Zhao Ying curiously, "Sister Ying, what should we do next?.

Zhao Ying replied, "I don't know. I don't understand this. Ask Sister Nuan!.

Then, the three little ones all looked at Yang Nuan.

With Zhao Yings confirmation, Yang Nuan gradually recovered her composure.

She pushed forward the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said, "Lets do nothing first. Instead, We should wait for Chen Yan to contact us."

"After everything he's done, if he really likes Qiaoqiao, he'll want more information, thus he'll most likely approach us."

"At that point, we'll delve into his identity and find out what he thinks of Qiaoqiao..."
