Knowing that Bai Yurou had recovered, the few of them also turned the page on that matter and continued playing.
Time quickly arrived at evening.
The few of them had also more or less finished playing at the anime convention and began discussing the topic of dinner.
“What do you all want to eat?”
The first to speak was Cai Xiaotong. As the one treating, she naturally needed to reference the opinions of the others.
“I’m fine with anything.”
“Anything is fine.”
“I haven’t thought of it.”
The three of them almost answered the question simultaneously with one voice, and the answers were all roughly equivalent to “whatever.”
“Then how about hotpot?”
Seeing that everyone did not have much of an opinion, Cai Xiaotong could only take the initiative to propose.
“Sure.”
“No problem.”
Ning Mu and Zhao Dandan both did not have much of an opinion and naturally agreed. Thus everyone’s gazes gathered on Bai Yurou.
Hotpot?
Bai Yurou knew her current physical condition. She could not eat things that were too spicy, otherwise she would definitely return to the hospital tomorrow.
However, occasionally tasting the flavor should be fine, right?
Moreover, hotpot did not only have soup bases for eating the spicy hotpot base.
There were also soup bases similar to mushroom soup or tomato pot.
Those she could eat with completely no problem.
“Can we order a yuanyang pot? My body isn’t very good. I can’t eat spicy food.”
Bai Yurou brought up her own concern.
“Sure. There’s a hotpot restaurant I’ve eaten at many times. Previously I’ve always ordered the yuanyang pot there, so Yurou, you completely not being able to eat spicy food is also no problem at all.”
Cai Xiaotong quickly dispelled Bai Yurou’s concern.
“Then I also have no problem.”
Seeing Cai Xiaotong say this, Bai Yurou also gave an affirmative answer.
The problem of what to eat was resolved. Next they needed to consider how to get there.
Then Cai Xiaotong opened her phone and began navigation.
That shop was more than ten kilometers away from the anime convention venue.
“How about we order a ride-hailing car? Right now during the evening rush hour the subway should be relatively crowded, and the four of us splitting the fare would also be more cost-effective?”
As the backbone of the four, Cai Xiaotong once again proposed.
“Actually…… there’s no need. I can call someone to come pick us up.”
Bai Yurou said.
“Really, Yurou? Then I’ll trouble you.”
Hearing that Bai Yurou could call someone, Cai Xiaotong no longer insisted on ordering a ride-hailing car.
Although she was not particularly short of money—this could also be seen from her treating everyone to a meal—she was also not wealthy like Young Miss Bai, who could casually pull out a card with uncountable zeros inside. Being able to spend a bit less money was naturally best.
Bai Yurou opened her phone, found the phone number noted as “Uncle Zhao” in the contacts column, and called it.
“Third Young Miss.”
Uncle Zhao’s side answered instantly.
“Uncle Zhao, I’m with friends at the anime convention. We’re going out to eat. Can you come pick us up?”
“Of course no problem, Third Young Miss.”
Uncle Zhao agreed cheerfully without any hesitation.
He was originally the exclusive driver hired by the Bai family.
Sending the Third Young Miss and her friends was naturally also within the scope of his work.
The few of them then came to the designated location. Before long, that signature Maybach appeared.
Bai Yurou said softly:
“That’s our car.”
Then, under the shocked gazes of Cai Xiaotong and Zhao Dandan, Bai Yurou opened the front passenger door of the Maybach.
Ning Mu, on the other hand, had no particular reaction.
She had previously had contact with Bai Sihan, and because of her older brother’s matter she had received quite a bit of compensation from the Bai family.
Naturally she knew Bai Yurou was a young miss from a wealthy family.
She took the lead in following and sitting into the back seat.
Only then did the other two recover from their shock and hurriedly follow.
“Yurou, I really didn’t expect you to be this rich, riding a Maybach and even having an exclusive driver.”
The moment she got in the car, Zhao Dandan brought up the topic.
“Mm.” Bai Yurou frankly admitted it.
Actually, when she called Uncle Zhao she had not intended to hide it.
After interacting with Cai Xiaotong and Zhao Dandan today, she felt that in the future they would probably still often go out to play together.
There was no need to keep hiding the identity of a young miss.
Moreover, Ning Mu had originally already known her background, so she might as well openly expose it.
This way she could also avoid passive discovery of her identity by them in the future causing some misunderstandings or the like.
On the other side, Cai Xiaotong seemed to quickly accept the setting that the good best friend she had only just made today was a young miss from a wealthy family.
She did not become restrained or distant because of this. Instead, she openly followed this topic and began chatting with Bai Yurou.
“Yurou, are you young misses from wealthy families really like what’s written in domineering CEO novels—” She blinked her eyes and dragged out her tone, “always being picked up and dropped off by luxury cars when going out, always eating mountain delicacies and national banquet level food when eating, and always directly booking out entire venues when shopping?”
Bai Yurou felt that when this black-bellied loli asked these words there was no meaning of jealousy or flattery, only pure curiosity.
So she followed her own memories and replied:
“When going out it is indeed private car pick-up and drop-off, but when eating, many times it’s actually also ordinary home-cooked meals. Booking out entire venues when shopping is even more impossible.”
The point about private car pick-up and drop-off when going out was true.
Wasn’t this exactly the case right now?
As for eating, the Bai family was after all a wealthy family that had started from scratch.
Bai Yuan did not particularly like those mountain delicacies.
Bai Yurou remembered that most of the time when she was at home she ate the home-cooked meals made by Mama Wang, which were actually not much different from the dining tables of ordinary families.
However, because she was frail and frequently ill, basically every day she would be required to eat supplements such as bird’s nest.
Mountain delicacies were basically only eaten more when she participated in gatherings of wealthy families.
As for shopping, the Bai family did indeed have investments in the major local shopping malls—for example, the large shopping mall where they were participating in the anime convention today had the shadow of the Bai family behind it.
Bai Yurou estimated that if she truly proposed the request of booking out an entire venue while shopping, that deeply sister-con domineering CEO older brother of hers would probably also agree.
However, as a sensible and well-behaved daughter, she naturally would not do such a thing.
“I used to still think that young misses from wealthy families like you, Yurou, should be very far from our lives. I never expected that the online friend who had always been chatting with me and playing games with me was actually one, and in the end even became my good friend.”
Cai Xiaotong spoke as she felt a bit excited.
“By the way, Ning Mu, why aren’t you surprised at all? Could it be that you already knew Yurou’s true identity long ago?”
Zhao Dandan saw that Ning Mu had not said a single word after getting in the car, and just earlier when she and Cai Xiaotong were still in shock, Ning Mu had already calmly accepted the fact that that Maybach was coming to pick them up, and could not help asking.
“Yes. I’ve met Yurou before, so I already knew long ago that she is a young miss from a wealthy family.”
Ning Mu admitted Zhao Dandan’s guess.
But what she did not say out loud was—actually you should also have met Bai Yurou, only you have probably already forgotten.
Since Zhao Dandan did not remember, she also did not want to proactively bring it up.
After all, that funeral was truly not something that could be happily brought up in conversation.
Bai Yurou felt that this matter of her exposing the identity of a young miss had not caused any change in the relationships between everyone.
Cai Xiaotong and Zhao Dandan were more just excited and novel.
As for Ning Mu, she had already known long ago that she was a young miss from a wealthy family, so the way she interacted with her had never changed.
Therefore she did not need to worry about being treated differently by them after exposing her identity.
