Chapter 1684: Chapter 1684

Nowadays, mobile payment is already mainstream.

If you’re not going on a long trip and need to bring your ID card, bank cards, and such, a wallet is convenient. But if Lin Baici is just going to the mall, convenience is definitely the priority.

Lu Yingming carries several credit cards from different banks, mainly for the discounts. Whichever has a promotion, that’s the one he uses. The rest are just for show.

The summer after high school graduation, Lu Yingming pestered his dad to get him a gold card, the kind that requires a deposit of over a million, just to feel superior when paying.

Lu Yingming heard Lin Baici’s words, looked up at him, and sneered.

You really know how to show off!

If I really let you pay, could you afford it?

Probably all your living expenses for a semester wouldn’t be as much as this meal, right?

Lu Yingming wasn’t familiar with Lin Baici, and he envied his good relationship with Ji Xinyan, so he didn’t insist with the ’I’ll pay, I’ll pay’ routine.

Waiting to see Lin Baici embarrass himself wouldn’t be bad either!

Sun Yixiao gave Lin Baici a surprised look.

Doesn’t seem like it!

Lin Baici’s attire isn’t luxury brand, but from a student’s perspective, it’s not shabby and could even be considered slightly well-off.

But now there are too many options like Huabei and microloans; as long as a student is bold enough and not afraid of being blacklisted later, they can get a fair amount of money.

Moreover, Ji Xinyan is rich, and by the end of the meal, she noticed that her ’bestie’ took good care of him. Maybe she really fell for this guy.

So spending money on him is not surprising at all.

Ji Xinyan is just that kind of person, known during middle school for being generous.

"Can’t figure it out!"

Sun Yixiao muttered to herself. Her family wasn’t particularly wealthy, but not average either. She started mingling with rich kids since middle school.

This is why she can identify true rich second generations.

Ji Xinyan, at a glance, is a rich girl, while Lin Baici doesn’t have that aura at all.

However, he has a different aura, calm and composed, possibly strong. Sun Yixiao couldn’t find the right words to describe it temporarily.

Children who never lacked money and kids like Lin Baici, who always save, have different lifestyle habits. This also explains why people are called nouveau riche when they suddenly become wealthy.

It’s all about consumption mindset and habits.

Lin Baici was poor for almost 20 years, and even though he’s rich now, some small habits in life can’t be changed that quickly.

"How can I let you pay when eating with my classmate?"

Ji Xinyan gave Lin Baici a look, took out her phone, and said to Lu Yingming, "Add me on WeChat, I’ll transfer the money to you!"

"Huh?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꞁire.net

Lu Yingming was stunned and then overjoyed.

He had been wondering how to get this beautiful girl’s WeChat, and she brought it to him!

"No need, no need, I’ll pay!"

Lu Yingming didn’t care about Lin Baici being embarrassed anymore. Getting Ji Xinyan’s WeChat was the top priority today: "Oh, come on, let’s not fuss over a few thousand yuan meal!"

"But still, let’s add each other on WeChat!"

Lu Yingming moved closer, "I’ll scan you!"

Ji Xinyan smells so nice!

Ji Xinyan added Lu Yingming on WeChat, and after verifying the friend request, she transferred 2,900 yuan to him directly.

Lu Yingming definitely wasn’t going to accept it.

"I have you on WeChat; why don’t you just give it to me? Surely our relationship isn’t less than yours with him, right?"

Sun Yixiao seemed a bit upset.

This comment sounded like a complaint, implying that Ji Xinyan was being unnecessary, hinting why she added her boyfriend.

Somewhat out of line.

In reality, Sun Yixiao was heartbroken over the money. If it was given to her, she could buy a bag or a set of cosmetics.

"Oh, let’s not fuss about it!"

Lu Yingming, looking at Ji Xinyan in his friends list, felt a little floaty, and his mouth had no filter.

"Lu Yingming, what do you mean?"

Sun Yixiao frowned, her tone turning serious.

Lu Yingming quickly admitted his mistake.

Hadn’t even succeeded yet, can’t get carried away.

But it would be acceptable to lose Sun Yixiao if he could win over Ji Xinyan.

"If she gives it to you, just take it."

Sun Yixiao wasn’t giving up yet, planning to get the money back when it was just the two of them later: "My Yan Yan always treats when we go out!"

"Making you pay half today is already giving you face!"

Lu Yingming was a little confused. Making me pay is giving face?

Shouldn’t that mean she doesn’t want to hang out together?

Looking at Ji Xinyan’s face, Lu Yingming felt it made sense!

"Got it, Xinyan considers me a friend!"

This kind of beauty isn’t just any random person you can befriend.

WeChat is the best proof.

"Go settle the bill!"

Ji Xinyan instructed.

Going to the counter and each paying half?

That would be too awkward, not to mention embarrassing.

As for why she didn’t transfer it to Sun Yixiao, it was simply because Ji Xinyan knew her character; if she gave her the money, it would end up in her wallet.

As for adding Lu Yingming as a friend,

she could delete it as soon as the gathering was over.

After paying, the four of them left the restaurant.

Lu Yingming checked his watch; it was ten minutes to three, and he didn’t want to leave yet.
