Chapter 115 - 115: Something Strange l
Da Ha poured her a cup of chrysanthemum tea and asked, “Boss, after the final round of ‘Charming Female Stars’ tomorrow, you’ll be free, right? Have you thought about what you’re going to do next?”
Gu Li rested her cheek on one hand, “I’ve decided. I’m going to university.”
Da Ha: “Huh???”
“What’s with the surprise? Is it so strange that I’m going to university?”
Gu Li retorted seriously.
Beyond speech, Da Ha said, “With your abilities, you could easily be a professor, isn’t it a waste to be a student?”
“Not a waste at all. I’m going to experience life, I’ve never set foot in a campus before, I’m really looking forward to it.”
Da Ha: “Alright then, I’ll go with you. Wherever you are, I’ll be there.”
Gu Li grimaced, “No need, really. You should hurry up and open your entertainment company, I’m still counting on you to make money.”
Da Ha:”…”
“Have you thought about which university or major you’re interested in?”
Since she had decided to study, these questions were very important.
“I’m leaning towards the Design department at Imperial City University.”
With a casual tone, Gu Li finished speaking and raised her teacup to her lips. Just as she was about to take a sip, a sudden “Don’t drink” came from behind. Gu Li paused and turned to see the waitress who had just brought their tea rushing over.
“What happened?”
Gu Li placed her teacup back on the table, confused, “Is there something wrong with this tea?”
“No, no.”
Lin Ranzhu quickly denied, hurriedly cleared away the full teapot and the two cups, all the while explaining, “I am sorry, I delivered it to the wrong table, it was ordered by another customer.”
Gu Li knitted her brows, glanced at her anxious face, her eyes glinting with a hint of doubt.
Da Ha, however, was bewildered, “We also ordered chrysanthemum goji berry tea. If it was served to us first, there’s no need to take it back, just serve the other customers with the pot we ordered, wouldn’t that be fine?”
His pointed question left Lin Ranzhu a bit flustered.
Poor girl, it was her first time messing up; her conscience got the best of her at the last moment and she halted in her tracks, only to run into such a seemingly adorable but actually quite shrewd person like Da Ha.
Unable to give an explanation, Lin Ranzhu could only keep apologizing.
“Forget it, just take it.”
Gu Li intervened to defuse the situation.
“Thank you.”
Lin Ranzhu gave her a sorry smile then hurriedly left.
As soon as she was gone, Da Ha’s expression immediately turned serious,
“Boss, I think there’s something fishy about that waitress.”
“Maybe.”
With a nod, Gu Li didn’t probe further.
With Lin Ranzhu’s interruption, they decided to continue discussing about going to university.
After dinner, while Da Ha went to fetch the car, Gu Li visited the restroom.
The restaurant was located inside a large shopping mall, and finding the restroom was difficult. She walked a considerable distance without finding it, but then, she heard the crisp sound of a slap from around the corner.
Following the sound, she saw two young girls in an altercation.
No, to be precise, one was forcibly slapping the other, and the victim, who didn’t dare to fight back, was actually apologizing –
“I’m sorry, cousin. I’m really not capable of doing such bad things, please forgive me.”
Lin Ranzhu subconsciously reached out to grab Little Zhou’s arm, pleading with her, but was ruthlessly shaken off.
“You won’t even help me with this small favor, but still expect me to lend you money for your medical bills? How thick is your skin?”
“But… you promised to lend me money. Also, my father is your uncle, won’t you just stand by and do nothing as he dies? After all, he raised you..”
