Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman

Chapter 58 – Embarrassing Yourself (自找难堪)

Xiao Haiqing was worried that Jing Yunzhao didn’t have that much cash on her. She wanted to remind her of that and take out some money of her own to use. However, she was afraid she would hurt Jing Yunzhao’s pride. Xiao Haiqing was troubled.

However, Jing Yunzhao was acting as if she wasn’t bothered by this at all. She only nodded and sat down.

The dishes were ordered beforehand. Jing Yunzhao was also hungry and since it was just the two of them, she had no need to hold herself back and told the server to start serving the food.

Xiao Haiqing’s family was well o?. When she was ordering, she didn’t think about it too much. But now, seeing dish after dish of exquisite and expensive things being brought in, she began to feel restless.

The appetizers were acceptable, but then...

“(桂蚌伴珠情绵绵), (鸳鸯翡翠金腰带), Dragon Swimming Within the Waves (碧波游龙情意长), Soaring Dragon and Phoenix (龙凤振翅冲天飞)...”

(T/N: They’re just really fancy names for dishes.)

In actuality, they were just (酱炒玉带) garlic fried lobster, (蒜蓉龙虾) traditionally steamed grouper, (古法蒸石斑) seafood shark fin soup (鱼翅佛跳墙)...”

Of course, this was just a small part of it. To beat Ye Qing, Xiao Haiqing ordered more of the expensive dishes. Haiqing didn’t know the names of these dishes. Even in her mouth, they tasted foreign. Plus, even Jing Yunzhao had never even heard of some of the ingredients in these dishes.

“Um... Yunzhao, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I let you paid for all of this. How about we each pay half?” Xiao Haiqing said, trying to test Jing Yunzhao’s limits.

Jing Yunzhao was eating quite happily. “No need. I already said I will treat you. It’s okay to have leftovers. I’ll take some home later. I have two friends I’m living with. It can last for quite a few days.”

After Jing Yunzhao said that, Xiao Haiqing felt guiltier, “It’s all my fault! All I thought about was being satiated. I don’t have a sense of propriety.”

“It’s okay as long as you understand. Wasting is shameful, so eat without holding back. Let’s clean up these plates!” Jing Yunzhao continued. Since no one else was in the room, she rolled up her sleeves and her image immediately changed.

“And I thought that all good students were unsociable and eccentric. I didn’t think you were like this in private,” Xiao Haiqing said with a bitter face, trying hard to not laugh. Her expression was becoming more and more interesting.

However, Xiao Haiqing sighed to herself. Jing Yunzhao’s actions might have been slovenly, but they did not seem vulgar in the slightest. If these actions were to be done by someone else, it would seem completely di?erent.

Seeing how Jing Yunzhao was eating so enjoyably, Xiao Haiqing couldn’t help but lick her lips. She gave up and said, “Slow down, leave some for me... Ahhhh! This is delicious! Another bite, don’t snatch from me...”

The two ate enjoyably but the door to their box was suddenly opened.

“Customers, the customers downstairs has gifted you a plate of Wealth and Prosperity (大富大贵). Please enjoy,” The server politely brought it in. The two of them looked and only saw some leftover onions with tofu.

The customers downstairs? Who else would it be if not Ye Qing?

Before Xiao Haiqing could even speak, Jing Yunzhao took the dish beside her and gave it to the server, “Please gift this back and tell the girl who gave us the dish... tell her that this dish tastes pretty good. I want her to try it. If she asks for the dish name or ingredients, just answer her honestly.”

Jing Yunzhao was not so generous. The dish she sent in return was indeed expensive. It was named Coral Hundred-Flower Abalone (珊瑚百花鲍). However, the plate only had a little bit of the gravy and decorations left. The price of this dish was over one thousand and six hundred yuan. When Ye Qing sees it, she would definitely vomit blood in anger.

Jing Yunzhao never had intentions of showing o?, but Ye Qing was the one who provoked her. It would’ve been okay if they had just eaten the meal in peace yet Ye Qing still wouldn’t let them go. She was just looking to embarrass herself.
