Chapter 865: Chapter 865: No Mercy When Tricking You
Xinyan said to the classmates gathering around, "You all heard it, right? Today Gu Yingying is being very generous. Anyone who wants to take a photo, hurry and line up here, there’s plenty of film."
After speaking, she smiled at Gu Yingying, "By the way, Gu Yingying, this film isn’t cheap. Are you sure you’ll cover all of it?"
Gu Yingying genuinely didn’t expect Han Xinyan to be so stingy, even arguing over the cost of film, "Don’t worry, I’ll cover all the film and photo developing costs today. Everyone just enjoy taking pictures."
Xinyan gave her a thumbs up, "Everyone, hurry up and thank Gu Yingying."
Taking advantage of the generosity, naturally, everyone started saying flattering things, making Gu Yingying feel quite elated.
As a result, not only did the other classmates take lots of photos, but Gu Yingying herself took quite a few, everyone absorbed in the beauty of nature.
By noon, everyone was eating their packed meals in the shade by the reservoir.
Gu Yingying took out the bread she brought, eyes full of superiority, and kept asking the classmates nearby, "Would you like to try the bread I brought?"
Though many were tempted, they knew it was her lunch, so they politely declined.
Just as Gu Yingying was about to show off to Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin, she saw them already sitting on a large flat rock, while the driver who brought them there took out the food they brought.
Seeing this, her eyes were filled with jealousy.
Jiang Peiqin had prepared braised beef and rice balls, as well as fruit. Xinyan brought homemade cake and bread, and had also fried eggs and ham, making simple sandwiches.
Jiang Peiqin happened to look at her at this moment and waved with a smile, "Gu, would you like to join us?"
Jiang Peiqin was just speaking casually, but Gu Yingying felt Jiang Peiqin was provoking her, and responded rather unfriendly, "No, thanks."
After speaking, she turned away.
Jiang Peiqin muttered softly, "Can’t take a joke."
Then continued chatting and laughing with Xinyan.
This lunch didn’t last long before it ended, and Shu Xiaomei invited, "Would everyone like to rest at my house?"
Due to the previous incident, Gu Yingying wasn’t in a good mood, "With so many people at your house, there’s no place to rest. We’d just be sitting around like now."
Shu Xiaomei blushed upon hearing this.
It was Cao Juanjuan who stepped in to smooth things over, "Xiaomei, thank you for your kind offer. With so many of us, going would just trouble your family, so we won’t go.
Besides, resting here is nice too, with the breeze and such a pleasant view, it’s great."
Shu Xiaomei then relaxed, "I was just thinking everyone could have some water at my house. I’ll have my family bring water over."
With that, she turned and ran back.
Soon, Shu Xiaomei returned with a few people carrying buckets, each holding a bowl.
The woman leading the way smiled and said, "Xiaomei, are these all your classmates?"
Shu Xiaomei nodded, "Yes, they are all my classmates."
The woman warmly said, "We were just thinking of having everyone over to rest, but it seems you all like the scenery here. Come visit often, we’re not far away."
After speaking, she instructed her family to put down the buckets, "The water in these buckets has been boiled and cooled for drinking. If you’re thirsty, help yourself."
Jiang Peiqin and Xinyan stood up together, smiling and thanking them, "Thank you for going to the trouble."
The woman, seeing someone responded, smiled sincerely, "It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. You’re Xiaomei’s classmates, come over to our house anytime, and Auntie will make something delicious for you."
Shu Xiaomei introduced them, "This is my dad, mom, and second brother."
The classmates greeted the Shu Family, after all, they had kindly brought over the water.
After thanking them, Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin immediately filled their bowls with water.
Jiang Peiqin even remembered to fill a bowl for Uncle Zhang, knowing if they delayed, they’d have to use bowls others had used. They were clever.
Later, when others realized and went to grab bowls, there were none left.
Gu Yingying glanced dismissively at the people drinking water and muttered softly, "Look at those buckets and bowls. Who knows if they’re hygienic?"
Jiang Peiqin frowned and cursed, "You just have to make a fuss."
