When she heard Chen Yao say that the meal was going dutch, Li Li said angrily, “What do you mean by that? Didn’t you say you were going to have a gathering? Seeing that you insisted on inviting Xiao Rou over, I thought you were going to treat her to a meal.”

How could Chen Yao afford to treat these people to a meal? Moreover, the restaurant she mentioned was not cheap. The average cost of one dish was at least 500. Even if she wanted to buy them a meal, she would not treat people at such an expensive place.

“How can I have so much money?” Chen Yao cried out, “It’s not like you guys don’t know my family’s financial situation. Ever since I went to university, my family hasn’t given me a single cent. All these years, I’ve been working part- time while studying.”

She was a student at New York University, so it was easy to find a part-time job. However, she could not keep working part-time. After graduation, she had to find a high-paying and decent job. After thinking about it, she still felt that she should ask Tan Rou to help her. Tan Rou had her own company, and her family had even more companies. If she had casually arranged a position, she would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

“Since your family background is not good, why are you still treating us to a meal there?” Tian Tian asked.

Chen Yao emphasized, “I’ve already said that I’m not buying it. We’re going dutch. I didn’t say that I’m treating. If you don’t believe me, ask them if we’re going dutch this time.”

“Yes, we’re splitting the bill.” The person beside Chen Yao immediately agreed. Li Li and Tian Tian were both very unhappy. What was wrong with this person? When they saw her inviting Tan Rou so enthusiastically just now, they thought that Chen Yao was going to treat them. They didn’t expect that she was going to split the bill. Instead of spending money to eat with Chen Yao and the others, it would be better if they would have a deal by themselves. They would not have to face the people he hated, and his mood would be much better.

Tian Tian said, “Xiao Rou, let’s not eat with them. Ah Zhi said he would pick me up later. Let’s go eat together.”

Tan Rou turned her head and gave Tian Tian a look. Tian Tian didn’t understand what she meant, but she didn’t say anything else.

“This is the last meal. I don’t want to make things unpleasant. Besides, our relationship isn’t that close. It’s normal for us to go dutch.” Tan Rou said, “Sure. We can split the bill this time. See you later.”

“Xiao Rou, you can’t go with them!” Li Li said.

Tan Rou patted Li Li’s shoulder and smiled at her. “Li Li, don’t be too agitated. We’re all classmates. Don’t make things difficult.”

“If they dare to play any tricks, I’ll put the food and soup on their heads,” Li Li said with a straight face.

Chen Yao got Tan Rou’s permission and didn’t care about what Li Li said. She said, “Tan Rou, let’s go now. Where is your car? Where should we wait for you?”

Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. As expected, these people did not have good intentions. It was fine if they had invited them to a meal and wanted to go dutch but they still expected Tan Rou to drive them there? How could there be such a good thing in the world?

“Why should I drive you? Can’t you guys go by yourselves?” Tan Rou asked with a half-smile.

Chen Yao said, “It’s a long journey. It’s too expensive to take a taxi. Moreover, it’s almost peak hour. We might not be able to get a taxi. You have so many cars. Just arrange a few of them for us. If we go to eat earlier, we can come back earlier.”

Tan Rou smiled. “It seems like you’ve already made arrangements. You even came up with such a good idea. I would drive you there then once we’re done, I can even drive you back.”

Chen Yao hadn’t thought of this. After hearing this, she said happily, “Student Tan Rou, you’re too kind. I didn’t even think of how we would return but you thought of it. You’re so meticulous!”

“It’s too funny. I’ve never seen such disgusting people like you in my life.” Li Li was about to vomit from their disgust. “You kept asking us to have dinner with you but you wanted us to split the bill. We aren’t even at dinner yet and you’re asking for something else already. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

“Tan Rou has so many luxury cars,” Chen Yao said nonchalantly. “It’s a waste to keep them at home. She might as well drive them out for everyone to take a spin.”

“That’s Rourou’s car, not yours. Why would she arrange for a car to pickyou up?” Tian Tian said angrily.
