Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 204: This Lin Family Brat Must Not Be Allowed to Live!

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: This Lin Family Brat Must Not Be Allowed to Live!

Sun Yazhu ignored the scrutinizing gazes around her, walked quickly up to Ji Ning with a smile on her face.

Just as she was about to say something, her gaze swept past Bai Xiaotang and landed on Fu Yuanxuan, who was wearing sunglasses, and she paused for a moment but quickly regained her composure. The invitation she was going to give to Ji Ning to sit in the front turned into: "Let’s have a meal together afterward, I booked a spot at the revolving restaurant."

Gu Sili and Lin Yuanyang, who were already full, reflexively burped.

Sun Yazhu glanced at them, her smile impeccably polite, "At the revolving restaurant, you can get a preview of the signature dishes from the competing chefs. Young Master Gu and Young Master Lin, you must come and support us."

Gu Sili’s cheeks reddened and the blush even reached the tips of his ears.

Gu Shuangcheng somewhat admired Sun Yazhu and jokingly reminded her: "Miss Sun, if Miss Ji doesn’t go, wouldn’t we miss out on the delicacies?"

"How could that happen? From today until the event ends, all food in the revolving restaurant will be personally prepared by the competing chefs. Everyone is welcome to come and taste." Sun Yazhu realized that her earlier move might have seemed too eager, so she quickly added this, which finally made the representatives from the noble families around feel a bit more at ease.

After all, they had come on account of the Sun Family, yet they were treated less warmly than an obscure young person — what was going on here?

Of course, only a few families who had heard of Ji Ning’s achievements dared not think that way.

Gu Shuangcheng was also somewhat surprised by Ji Ning’s identity. Before, when he heard Bai Xiaotang and the others calling her Sister Ning, he had speculated if she was that multi-system superpower user, but she behaved so down-to-earth that compared to the usual superpower users, she seemed too much like a regular person, too ordinary to be associated with the term superpower user.

Which superpower user wasn’t mysterious, aloof, and unapproachable, and wherever they went, they were treated with utmost respect? But here she was, happily eating with Bai Xiaotang, Lin Yuanyang, and the others, displaying an ambition to taste all sorts of cuisines.

Especially when she naturally took over the halfway-eaten dishes from Bai Xiaotang and a girl named Ye Tong; it was as if she regularly shared meals with them.

Gu Shuangcheng secretly observed Ji Ning; her features were strikingly bright, but because of her overly androgynous attire, people could hardly tell her gender at a glance, which muddled others’ perception of her.

He thought that if Sun Yazhu hadn’t revealed Ji Ning’s identity, the people around them probably wouldn’t have guessed that she was Ji Ning herself.

Ji Ning glanced up at Gu Shuangcheng and gave Sun Yazhu a brief "Hm" in response.

Sun Yazhu, like a child who had received candy, smiled even more sincerely than before.

"Great, I’ll head to the front first, let’s leave together later."

Once she left, the attention from around them somewhat diminished, and Ji Ning and the others still went to the last two rows, finding a corner to sit in.

The families from the Inner City of Beijing are usually low-key, so besides those in the know, outsiders didn’t even know what they looked like. Even though they were sitting here now, most people just thought they were juniors from some obscure family.

Except for a few family representatives who were considered at the forefront in the Inner City, who felt shocked.

They were about to stand and greet this group when Gu Shuangcheng smilingly gestured for silence, prompting them all to restrain themselves and sit back down.

When did people from the Gu Family, Sun Family, and Lin Family start mingling with Bai Family’s good-for-nothing heiress?

"Tangtang, why are you only arriving now?"

Chang Ru’s sudden voice made Bai Xiaotang’s eyebrows instantly knit together, and Lin Yuanyang snorted coldly, rudely pointing out her earlier act of pretending not to see them: "What do you mean by just arrived? Didn’t you not want to acknowledge us? What are you doing here?"

Chang Ru’s smile stiffened, a strong hatred building in her heart.

This Lin Family brat must not remain!

"Xiao Yang little brother, what are you saying? What do you mean by not wanting to acknowledge you? At the airport, I said to travel with you, but you didn’t need me. And now you’re saying this about me, how am I supposed to face Tangtang and Brother Yu Sen in the future?"

Chang Ru’s aggrieved voice made those around frown deeply.

Lin Yuanyang was so angry that a crimson blush crept over his fair skin, and his hands clenched into fists.

"Hey? Your voice sounds a bit familiar," Gu Shuangcheng suddenly said.

Gu Sili immediately pointed at Chang Ru and loudly declared: "Brother, isn’t she the one by the hotel restroom scolding her subordinates for not finding out where Bai Xiaotang was staying?"

Chang Ru was so startled by this statement that her heart panicked, and she felt her face grow hot. But Gu Sili’s voice continued: "She also said her subordinates didn’t book her a suite. Doesn’t she have an invitation? How could she not have a suite to stay in?"

Chang Ru, hearing these words, wished she could faint on the spot. The gazes directed at her felt as though they stripped her face bare and stomped on it.

"Sister Ru, why did you again send someone to find out where I was staying? If you wanted to know, I would have told you." Bai Xiaotang’s face appeared incredulous, and her question left Chang Ru with no room to argue.

She truly hadn’t expected her words to her subordinates to be overheard by outsiders.

Chang Ru tightly clenched her fists, her sharp nails piercing her palms, and she forced tears from her eyes, raising her head to say: "Tangtang, it was my mistake. But I truly can’t help it, ever since you left the Bai Family, it’s as if a barrier has grown between us. I know you’ve made new friends and grown up, but I just can’t stop seeing you as a child, as my only sister. I’m sorry for bothering you..."

After speaking, regardless of Bai Xiaotang and the others’ expressions, she wiped away her tears and left without even attending the opening ceremony, carrying her bag out.

Ye Tong looked utterly confused.

What’s going on? Why does it feel like we’re the bad guys?

Bai Xiaotang was so choked up, her eyes went wide.

This is just... shameless!

At this point, someone beside them advised: "Young girl, your sister’s just overly concerned. It’s understandable she used the wrong method, don’t let it chill her heart."

"That’s right, whose family are you from? Arguing and bickering among sisters is normal, why get upset over a couple of outsider comments and damage the family harmony?"

After the speech, they glanced at Gu Shuangcheng and Gu Sili.

"Hey, you..."

"Xiao Shi!"

Gu Sili immediately shut his mouth, looking defiantly at his older brother.

At this moment, a cool female voice rose softly: "If you haven’t suffered that person’s pain, don’t advise them to be kind. Why are you meddling? Why not cover everyone’s dinner here?"

"You..."

Ji Ning coldly smirked, "If you can’t afford it, keep quiet!"

"You... You talk so big despite your age, which family are you from? Don’t think that knowing the eldest daughter of the Sun Family allows you to speak recklessly..." a man said with disdain, pointing at Ji Ning’s nose to lecture her.

"I’ll give you a count of three, put your hand down!"

"Ha, kid, when I was out in the world, you weren’t even fully grown."

"1..."

"Arrogance leads to downfall sooner or later."

"2..."

"I won’t budge, you dare to strike me?"

"3!"
