As soon as Shen Nanyi opened her mouth to invite Wu Fang out, Wu Fang readily agreed.
They made an appointment at a coffee shop. Shen Nanyi arrived at the coffee shop five minutes early. She ordered two cups of coffee and a piece of dessert and placed them on the table. Then she quietly waited for Wu Fang's arrival.
The appointed time was ten o'clock. Five minutes passed, but Wu Fang still didn't show up.
Shen Nanyi wasn't in a hurry. She quietly sipped the coffee on the table, waiting for Wu Fang. Finally, at half past ten, Wu Fang came.
Today, Wu Fang had dressed up carefully. She was wearing a limited - edition Chanel suit and carrying a Hermès Birkin bag. She really looked like a rich young lady, completely different from when Shen Nanyi first met her.
But for some reason, all Shen Nanyi could think about was the scene when she met Wu Fang in Singapore. It seemed a bit out of place with Wu Fang's current appearance.
"Sorry, I originally wanted to come earlier, but Beichuan didn't trust me to come alone and insisted that the driver send me, so I was a bit delayed." Wu Fang spotted Shen Nanyi sitting on the second floor at a glance. After sitting down, she spoke softly, and every word reeked of show - off.
She even imagined how crazy Shen Nanyi would be after hearing this, because in everyone's mind, Shen Nanyi and Ji Beichuan were a perfect match.
"Here's an invitation. I'd like to invite you, Ji Beichuan, and Uncle Ji to my grandfather's seventieth birthday party. Is that convenient for you?" Shen Nanyi tried her best to look disappointed. She took out an invitation from her bag and placed it on the table.
"I can't get in touch with him right now. The Shen family's banquet must have them attend, so I have to trouble you. If you find it difficult, it's okay." As she spoke, Shen Nanyi's tone was full of indescribable grievance.
It had to be said that Shen Nanyi had a good grasp of Wu Fang's psychology. Wu Fang just wanted to see Shen Nanyi in this state.
"Of course it's not difficult. Brother Beichuan listens to me in everything. Don't worry. We'll be there on time." After accepting the invitation, Wu Fang felt that she was finally no longer looked down upon by Shen Nanyi. She was on an equal footing with Shen Nanyi, or even one step higher.
"Thank you then. Consider this coffee as my treat." After Wu Fang agreed, Shen Nanyi smiled happily like a child, which further magnified Wu Fang's sense of satisfaction.
Saying this, Shen Nanyi got up and was about to go pay the bill, but was stopped by Wu Fang: "No need. I'll pay."
Now Wu Fang was extremely eager to prove her strength. How could she give Shen Nanyi the chance to pay? She directly called over the waiter and handed over her bank card.
In her opinion, two cups of coffee couldn't cost much. She was now the apple of the Ji family's eye, so she surely wouldn't be short of this money.
Shen Nanyi quietly watched Wu Fang trying to pay the bill without stopping her. She continued to drink her coffee and glanced at the cake on the table with an inscrutable look.
After shopping all day, Wu Fang was really a bit hungry. She picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of the cake, and took a bite. She thought the taste was quite good.
While eating, there was a diamond decoration on the strawberry, which hindered Wu Fang's movement. Without thinking, Wu Fang took it off and threw it into the trash can.
Seeing Wu Fang's action, the smile on Shen Nanyi's face deepened, but Wu Fang didn't notice.
Just as Wu Fang was about to continue enjoying the pastry in front of her, the waiter came over with a faint smile on his face: "Sorry, miss. There's insufficient balance in this card."
The waiter deliberately lowered his voice when speaking.
The waiter meant well, because not everyone was willing to let others know they were short of money.
But Wu Fang didn't understand the waiter's intention at all. On the contrary, she thought the waiter looked down on her. She snatched her card back.
"I think your card - swiping machine is broken. Do you know the credit limit of this card? There's at least several hundred thousand left. Isn't it enough for these two cups of coffee?" After carefully checking the bank card and confirming there was no problem, Wu Fang threw the bank card back to the waiter impatiently.
"Miss, the dessert Miss Shen ordered just now is the Arnaud strawberry dessert. This dessert is worth 1.4 million. The dessert is made of special - supply strawberry slices soaked in expensive wine worth $24,850, and the strawberry comes with a 4.7 - carat pink diamond, so the cost is a bit higher than ordinary desserts. Plus the two cups of coffee Miss Shen ordered, the total is 14.01 million." The waiter hid his disdain well and spoke with a faint smile.
If it weren't for Wu Fang's later words, he would have almost thought their card - swiping machine had a problem.
He really didn't know where this nouveau riche came from. She didn't even know what their shop's signature dish was, yet she dared to rush to pay.
"How much? You're just robbing people!" Wu Fang suddenly stood up from her seat and couldn't help shouting. Her voice was quite loud and attracted the attention of the surrounding customers.
There weren't many customers in the shop at this time, but because of the positioning of this shop, those who could come to consume here were all well - known figures. Wu Fang had met a few of them with Ji Jiale in the business field.
Feeling the contemptuous looks from the people around, Wu Fang quickly sat down and adjusted her mentality.
"I think Miss Wu may be a bit inconvenient. Let me do it then." Shen Nanyi's voice wasn't low enough for the surrounding tables to hear. As she spoke, Shen Nanyi slowly took out her bank card from her bag and was about to hand it to the waiter.
However, her whole movement was very slow, and she didn't really intend to hand the card to the waiter.
Unfortunately, Wu Fang, who was stimulated, didn't notice Shen Nanyi's slow movement at all. She took out another card from her bag and put it in the waiter's hand.
"Swipe this one." Wu Fang said almost gnashing her teeth. She thought she mustn't back down at this moment.
She had told countless people how much the Ji family valued her. If she couldn't even pay for a piece of pastry by herself, what would the people around think of her?
The waiter took the card with a smile but didn't rush to swipe it. Instead, he brought the card - swiping machine over.
After entering the number, the waiter put Wu Fang's card on the machine, and then there was a beep.
The sound of the machine wasn't very loud, but it was a bit harsh, which made the customers who had previously distracted their attention turn their eyes back to this table again.
Wu Fang and Shen Nanyi once again became the focus of everyone.
Enjoying the looks from the crowd very much, Wu Fang raised her hand, ready to enjoy the moment when the waiter handed the bank card back to her.
