Later, whenever Ming Li and the others cooked, Shi Lan and her group would shamelessly come over to mooch food.
Though the others found it distasteful, they said nothing.
Finally, Kang Yue couldn't stand it any longer. Disregarding her image, she stood up and pointed at a woman who had once again shamelessly approached, exclaiming loudly, "Have you no shame! Every time you see us cooking, you come over, and you eat so much that we don't have enough. Are you treating us like complete fools? Are you sick? Don't you have your own food?"
Hearing this, Shi Lan's expression turned ugly for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
Looking at Kang Yue, who was being very unfriendly towards her, Shi Lan appeared aggrieved. She quickly hid behind the man next to her and said pitifully, "Brother Liu, she's being mean to me..."
Liu Ting's expression also soured. He looked at Kang Yue expressionlessly and said, "We'll pay for the food you eat."
As he spoke, he casually took out a bank card from his bag, threw it coldly in front of Kang Yue, and then said sternly, "There's five hundred thousand in here, is that enough? Now, it's your turn to apologize to Xiao Lan."
Kang Yue: "......?" Who carries this much money when going out? And to a place like this, isn't this person brain-damaged?
Meeting the man's cold gaze, Kang Yue was unfazed and said speechlessly, "Who wants your money? This is a matter of character..."
Before Kang Yue could finish, she was interrupted by Shi Lan's voice, "Brother Liu, look at her..."
Hearing the woman's aggrieved voice behind him, Liu Ting frowned, his gaze towards Kang Yue becoming even colder, "I've already given you the money, now you apologize to Xiao Lan immediately!"
Kang Yue said with utter speechlessness, "Who wants your money?"
Seeing the intense atmosphere between the two parties, a flicker of impatience crossed the eyes of the bearded man standing next to Shi Lan's group, but he quickly regained his composure.
He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Alright, alright, let's not argue."
He then looked at Kang Yue and said, "Youngsters can be impetuous, little girl, don't bicker with them."
After a moment's thought, the bearded man bent down, picked up the bank card from the ground, and handed it to Kang Yue. "Please accept this money. Consider it payment for our meals these past few days. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Meeting the man's smiling face, Kang Yue felt awkward saying anything more. As they say, you can't hit someone who's smiling. She turned to look at the others behind her. Seeing that none of them said anything, Kang Yue thought for a moment and returned the bank card to the bearded man. "No need for the money. Just manage your team members properly."
With that, Kang Yue turned and left.
Behind Liu Ting, Shi Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of malice as she watched Kang Yue's departing back.
On the other side, Ming Li sensed something. She raised her eyes and cast a casual glance in the direction of the female lead.
If nothing unexpected happened, this female lead was about to stir up trouble...
Soon, the group continued on their journey.
Shi Lan and the other two still followed Ming Li and their group at a leisurely pace, seemingly unconcerned about the previous incident.
After a while, Ming Li suddenly sensed something and turned her head. She saw the female lead, who had somehow moved to stand beside her.
Meeting Ming Li's gaze, Shi Lan displayed a professional fake smile. "Sister, may I stay by your side?"
Ming Li: "......"
