Hearing this, all three of them turned to look.
They saw Gu Wanning, dressed in a white dress, walking over with light steps, a gentle smile on her face.
“Oh my, isn’t this Miss Gu?”
Gu Wanning had been here before, and the server recognized her, immediately hurrying over with a fawning greeting. “Miss Gu, you’ve come to eat here too?”
Gu Wanning shook her head and said, “I’m here looking for my sister. Sister, if you’re short on money, you could have told me, you really shouldn’t come to a place like this to eat for free! Doesn’t that embarrass the Gu family?”
“Sister?” Both the server and the manager looked at Gu Wanshi in shock.
Everyone had heard about what had recently happened with the Gu family.
So this girl in front of them was the real daughter the Gu family had just taken back?
Everyone said the real daughter wasn’t favored, looking at this now, it really seemed true…
A look of sympathy crossed the manager’s face, and she seemed to want to smooth things over for Gu Wanshi, but the server immediately sneered, “So that’s it, her dream of being a wealthy young lady didn’t come true, and now she’s gone mad, ha!”
Gu Wanshi didn’t move an inch, watching them with something between a smile and no smile at all.
“I’ll just pay for my sister then, how much is it?” Gu Wanning asked.
“A hundred thousand,” the manager answered.
Gu Wanning’s expression changed instantly.
When she’d walked in, she’d only caught the tail end of what the server said to Gu Wanshi, something like “you can afford a meal this expensive,” and she’d assumed Gu Wanshi had ordered at most a few thousand worth of food.
She never expected it to be a full hundred thousand! Had Gu Wanshi lost her mind?
Gu Wanning didn’t currently work at the Gu family company, she just asked her parents for an allowance every month.
True, her allowance wasn’t small, a million a month, but she lived extravagantly, constantly buying bags and buying brand names, and now, at the end of the month, she only had a little over ten thousand left, and she didn’t even have a credit card!
Looking at the manager and the server still waiting for her to pay, Gu Wanning was mortified.
“What’s wrong, my dear sister?” Gu Wanshi asked, feigning confusion. “Didn’t you say you’d pay? Are you having second thoughts now? Or… can you simply not afford it?”
When she’d been reading the novel, it had written that Gu Wanning always spent lavishly without restraint, and now, at the end of the month, there was no way she could produce a hundred thousand.
On top of that, there was still an hour left on the task’s time limit, which was why she’d been so relaxed about watching the show unfold just now.
“I…” Gu Wanning didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Looking at the disappointed, probing expressions on the manager’s and server’s faces, Gu Wanning gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll have someone bring the money over right now.”
“No need,” Gu Wanshi said coldly. “I’ll pay for it myself.”
“You’re joking, right? If Miss Gu can’t afford it, how could you possibly afford it?” The server shot her a disdainful look.
Gu Wanshi simply opened Huaqianbao and pulled up her payment code.
The manager took the scanner and scanned it, and it really did take a hundred thousand!
In an instant, the manager’s face lit up with joy, while Gu Wanning and the server were both stunned.
Gu Wanning especially had a face that kept flashing between blue and white, quite the sight.
She’d originally come here to humiliate Gu Wanshi.
She never expected that now, it was her own face that was practically swollen from the slap.
Where had Gu Wanshi gotten a hundred thousand from? Had their parents given it to her?
Could it be that their parents actually still felt some tenderness toward their own biological daughter after all?
Gu Wanning was mortified and furious at once, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
Meanwhile, the server was silently kicking himself.
Their restaurant wasn’t like other restaurants, on top of their base pay, servers were also judged on sales performance!
This real daughter of the Gu family had been attended to by the manager, and she’d spent a full hundred thousand, the manager would instantly get a five-thousand commission out of it!
It didn’t sound like much, but that was five thousand earned in the time it took to say a few sentences!
So it really was true, she was the Gu family’s real daughter. All that talk about her being unfavored must have just been baseless rumors floating around outside!
The server was overwhelmed with regret, wishing he could slap himself twice.
He hurried over to Gu Wanshi’s side, bent at the waist, and said with a fawning smile, “Miss, is there anything else you need? Let me take care of you. Would you like to order anything else? Let me…”
“No need,” Gu Wanshi said coolly. “Also, I heard everything you said just now, and so did this manager here. I’ll be filing a complaint through the proper channels.”
She couldn’t be bothered to get angry, but that didn’t mean she’d let something this eye-blind-to-status off the hook so easily.
The server was inwardly kicking himself, but with nothing he could do about it, he could only vent his resentment on Gu Wanning, shooting her a bitter glance.
If Gu Wanning had just been able to produce the hundred thousand earlier, would he have ended up in this mess?
No money, and still putting on airs? So it turned out, if you weren’t the Gu family’s real daughter, you simply couldn’t hold your own in public!
“Ding! Congratulations, host, the current main quest has been completed. You have received a tenfold rebate, along with two lottery draws.”
A tenfold rebate, wasn’t that a full million?
Getting this much of a rebate on her very first task left Gu Wanshi quite satisfied.
Gu Wanning walked over in two steps and sat down across from Gu Wanshi.
“Sister, you…”
Before Gu Wanning could finish, Gu Wanshi turned to the manager beside her and said, “I just want to eat in peace, without being disturbed by anyone else. Your restaurant can handle that, can’t it?”
“Of course we can,” the manager said quickly.
Then she walked over to Gu Wanning and said politely, “Miss Gu, if you’d like to dine here, please take a different table.”
Even though Gu Wanning couldn’t swallow this humiliation, with the manager saying so, could she really make a scene right here?
She could only curse Gu Wanshi silently in her heart, and stormed off in a huff.
Meanwhile, on the second floor, a tall man with an outstanding presence stood by the railing.
He had seen everything that had just happened.
His gaze drifted, almost without his realizing it, toward Gu Wanshi, who was still waiting for her food.
Just now, this girl’s sister and the server had both mocked her mercilessly, yet she’d stayed as still as a mountain, waiting until they’d had their fill of arrogance before delivering the most decisive counterattack.
This girl was no ordinary person.
