Chapter 245: Thanks, but no need


    Trantor: _Min_


    Gu Dai couldn’t help but let out a snicker.


    Sheng Xin, taken aback, regained herposure and asked, “What are youughing at?”


    Gu Dai casually replied, “Your ne is fake.”


    Sheng Xin scoffed, “How could that be possible?”


    Then she used, “1 get it, you’re just jealous of me, aren’t you?”


    Gu Dai knew the ne was fake because she was acquainted with the designer of the actual ne, which had already been gifted to her and was currently in her jewelry box.


    Gu Dai didn’t argue with Sheng Xin, but simply suggested, “You might want to ask your friend if the ne is real or not.”


    Sheng Xin, confident, sent a message to her friend. However, as time passed, her expression grew increasingly troubled, her grip on her phone tightening.


    Turning to Gu Dai with an angry look, Sheng Xin imed, “My friend must have been deceived too, but even if it’s a counterfeit, it’s still something you could never afford in your lifetime.”


    Gu Dai nodded, responding, “Indeed, I don’t buy fakes.”


    Before Sheng Xin could react, Gu Dai questioned her, “If your friend was indeed deceived, why would they block your contact? And can you be sure they didn’t profit from it?”


    Sheng Xin’s face turned even more sour, defiantly saying, “Even if I was deceived, what does it have to do with you? I’m wealthy; a little loss like this doesn’t bother me.”


    Gu Dai pointed out, “If you hadn’t intentionally shown off your ne to me, I wouldn’t have noticed it was a fake.”


    Sheng Xin was stunned, realizing Gu Dai had seen through her intentions.


    Sheng Xin had fantasized about outssing Gu Dai, making her feel inferior, but she hadn’t expected to be the one embarrassed in the end.


    Wang Lan stepped in tofort her, “Xinxin, don’t bother with such low-ss people. Remember, you have the VIP for this restaurant, and you can enjoy dishes personally served by Chef Feng Fei!”


    Sheng Xin felt that Wang Lan was being overly pretentious, but the unpleasant expression on his face eased somewhat as she responded with a simple, “Mhmm.”


    Wang Lan nced at Gu Dai and made a sly remark, “Having the head chef serve the dishes personally is a privilege not everyone can enjoy. Some less capable people can only watch from the side.”


    Yang Yi, realizing that Wang Lan’sment was a jab at Gu Dai, couldn’t contain herself and let out a snort ofughter.


    Wang Lan’s menacing gaze fell on Yang Yi.


    Before Wang Lan could confront her, Gu Dai interjected, “Since the chef is personally serving you, why not order some signature dishes?”


    Not wanting to seem inferior to Gu Dai, Sheng Xin quickly said, “We’ll order!”


    Then, looking at Gu Dai disdainfully, she said, “You, being a waitress here, must know the menu well. Order what you think tastes good.”


    Gu Dai warned, “What if it doesn’t suit your taste…”


    Sheng Xin retorted coldly, “Doesn’t matter. I don’t expect you to choose what suits me. After all, you’ve probably never eaten here yourself.”


    Gu Dai, without a word, silently chose the dishes from the menu and asked before sending it to the chef, “Do you want to see what I’ve ordered?”


    Wang Lan, impatient, said, “Xinxin already said no need to check. Why bother asking, do you think we can’t afford it?”


    Gu Dai curled her lips into a mocking smile. Since the two had presented themselves as targets, she thought, they shouldn’t me her for choosing the most expensive items for them.


    Sheng Xin, satisfied, her chin raised high, arrogantly told Gu Dai, “After we finish eating, you can have our leftovers to experience what the upper ss eats.”


    Gu Dai declined, “Thanks, but no need. I’ve eaten here before.”


    When Wang Lan learned that Gu Dai was actually the heiress of the Gu family, she was initially frightened for several days. However, sheter heard rumors that the Gu Group was a shadow of its former self, essentially a hollow shell on the verge of bankruptcy.


    When Wang Lan heard this news, any gloom in her heart instantly dissipated. Now, hearing Gu Dai im she had tasted the dish before, Wang Lan simply thought it was a facade of strength.


    Sheng Xin was surprised to hear that Gu Dai had tried the dish, but didn’t dwell on it, assuming she had eaten it previously while married to Song Ling at the Song family.


    The thought of Gu Dai being with Song Ling, however, sparked a sh of jealousy in Sheng Xin. She lowered her gaze and softly said, “Song Ling is quite satisfied with me, 1 might marry him in the future.”


    Gu Dai nodded in response, ying along with a simple, “Oh..”
