255: Chapter 255 Exploiting a Thousand-Year-Old Ghost

As dish after dish of delicious food, complete with color, aroma, and taste, was served, while An Ya was serving dishes to Qin Ge, Qiao Yingzi also urged as she put food onto the plate in front of Xiao Yue, "Try this, this one is also good. Today's dishes are much more delicious compared to the bland flavors of the past."

Xiao Yue struggled to take her eyes off the large yellow fish meat and the succulent, juicy a famous dish in the plate before her, and shaking her head, she hung her little head and said, "I'm not hungry."

Rumble—

As she spoke, the rumbling of her stomach became even more crisp and audible.

In the face of such a sumptuous feast, the hunger in Xiao Yue's stomach intensified.

Sensing the gazes from around her, she covered her flat stomach in growing unease, lowered her head in self-abasement, and dared not look at anyone.

"Lift your head up!"

Qin Ge pinched Xiao Yue's delicate chin, lifted it slightly, and looked at her fair face. He stretched out his hand, pointed at the dishes in the plate before her, and said in a commanding tone, "From now on, you must eat everything that Yingzi puts on your plate!"

"If you don't do as I say, pay me back the money right now!"

Xiao Yue opened her mouth, "I... I don't have money."

Qin Ge kept a straight face, "Then eat everything in your plate!"

Seeing Xiao Yue about to lift the plate, Qin Ge rolled his eyes dramatically and said, "Just sit here and eat, don't run around!"

According to the information provided in his post, girls like Xiao Yue in these chaotic times were despised by their parents as money pits; never mind going hungry from time to time, even when given food, they weren't allowed to sit at the table.

He couldn't be bothered to slowly change Xiao Yue's mindset like raising a child.

A direct order was all it took!

"Oh."

Xiao Yue nodded fearfully, picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of a famous dish, and took a small bite.

The moment it entered her mouth, the various seasonings of the a famous dish seemed to dance a beautiful waltz on Xiao Yue's taste buds, causing a crystalline light to swirl in her eyes in amazement.

Immediately followed the second bite, and the third.

With every bite, Xiao Yue, accustomed to eating chaff and vegetables, would have her eyes light up in amazement.

Qin Ge withdrew his gaze calmly and looked at An Ya opposite him, "Any movement from Long Lingyin's side?"

An Ya used her chopsticks to stabilize the precarious pile of food in front of Qin Ge and said seriously, "I eavesdropped all last night. That Long Lingyin, as if she had a cleanliness obsession, scrubbed herself in the bathroom all night long."

"She cursed Mr. Qin sixty-seven times as a bastard, eighty-two times as a lecher, and one hundred and fifty-six times as a scoundrel, and said five hundred and seventy-eight times that she would grind Mr. Qin into dust."

"It seems that because she wasn't 'seen through' by you when impersonating Ruan Xingrou this time, she still has some small thoughts in this regard. Based on her muttering last night, she seems to be considering who to impersonate next; Long Lingyin is more inclined to disguise herself as the image of Qin Huanhuan."

Qin Huanhuan?

A playful arc formed at the corners of Qin Ge's mouth, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

So Long Lingyin was addicted to pretending to be others.

Planning to use the same trick again?

Long Lingyin wasn't tired of it, but he was.

However, since it was a different 'identity', he would need a different method to deal with Long Lingyin.

Always forcing things was becoming aesthetically tiring for him.

This time, let's let Long Lingyin be the proactive one!

After making up his mind, he glanced at Qiao Yingzi, who was serving food to Xiao Yue, and asked, "Are there any signs of Chen Yuan trying to contact Long Lingyin recently?"

Qiao Yingzi placed a piece of pork knuckle onto Xiao Yue's plate and shook her head, "Chen Yuan currently has no intention of contacting Long Lingyin again. Since coming out of the bar, Chen Yuan has locked himself in the hotel."

"At night, he would take advantage of the darkness to go to the pharmacy to get medicine. Based on the medicine he got, one can judge that currently, Chen Yuan has at least seven or eight types of sexually transmitted viruses on him."

"The key is that his encounter with that woman was just a fleeting romance. Plus, Chen Yuan has an extraordinary constitution; otherwise, he would have at least twenty or thirty types of viruses on him."

Hiss—

Even Qin Ge couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

The mother of all badasses—truly incredible!

Biochemical Mother Body, terrifying indeed!

Simply a walking virus library!

Qin Ge withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Yue, who had put down her chopsticks, and said calmly, "Are you full?"

Xiao Yue nodded heavily, "I'm full."

Qin Ge waved his hand, called the waiter over, gestured with his chin towards Xiao Yue, and said, "She's paying the bill."

"Ah?"

Xiao Yue opened her cherry mouth wide in shock. She looked at Qin Ge in confusion and said, "Young Master Qin, i... isn't it you who told me to eat?"

Qin Ge rolled his eyes dramatically, "If I tell you to eat, you eat? Then if I tell you to sleep with me tonight, will you or not?"

An Ya volunteered, "I will!"

Qiao Yingzi pursed her moist lips and glanced at Qin Ge from the corner of her eye; actually, she wouldn't mind either.

"I can interrupt you when you speak, but when I speak, it's not your turn to interrupt."

Qin Ge glanced at An Ya, then urged Xiao Yue, "If you're not going to, then pay the bill."

"H-how much is it?"

Xiao Yue looked at the waiter standing in front of her in fear.

The waiter smiled gently, "It is a total of thirty-eight thousand six hundred and thirty-six yuan."

"???"

Xiao Yue looked at Qin Ge with a dazed expression.

Qin Ge explained, "About thirty-eight taels of silver."

Hiss—

Xiao Yue gasped in horror, and the dimensions of her chest instantly increased from B+ to D-!

She earned one copper coin for feeding the pigs for Aunt Wang at the east end of the village, and six copper coins for washing clothes for the Liu family.

Even if she didn't eat or drink, and didn't worry about her parents stealing the money.

Just this one meal would be enough to take her decades of hard work to save up!

"Young Master Qin, I... I... I don't have any money on me."

Seeing the waiter staring at her, Xiao Yue looked at Qin Ge in embarrassment.

Qin Ge raised his hand, signaling Qiao Yingzi to pay the bill.

After the waiter left, he looked at Xiao Yue, who was wearing a coarse cloth gown and had a slender figure, and said seriously, "The thirty-eight thousand-plus for the bill will be considered a loan to you, any problem with that?"

Xiao Yue shook her head, "N-no problem, Young Master Qin, please rest assured, I will work hard to save money and pay you back."

"Pay back, you definitely have to pay back, but we need to straighten out the account first."

Qin Ge stared at Xiao Yue, like a creepy uncle coaxing a little girl with a lollipop, and calculated seriously, "According to the rule of borrowing ten and receiving nine, if the bill money is counted as you borrowing forty-three thousand, that's no problem, right?"

Xiao Yue, who couldn't even get enough to eat, naturally hadn't read any books. Her big, watery eyes revealed a clear stupidity, and she shook her head, "No problem."

"Then, according to the interest rate of returning thirteen for every ten borrowed, in seven days, you should pay me back fifty-six thousand."

Qin Ge very understandingly did the conversion for Xiao Yue, "About fifty-six taels of silver."

"Ah?"

Xiao Yue was dumbfounded, her big, watery eyes full of confusion, "How did thirty-eight taels suddenly become fifty-six taels?"

"Interest. Don't you have to pay interest when you borrow money?"

An Ya rolled her eyes charmingly and questioned, "Do you understand the rules?"

Xiao Yue indeed did not.

But she could distinguish who was a good person. She looked in Qiao Yingzi's direction and asked suspiciously, "Miss Qiao, are the rules really like this?"

Qiao Yingzi endured the guilt in her heart and nodded, "Actually, this interest is considered low; President Qin has already given you a discount."

Xiao Yue pouted, covered her uncooperative stomach, and felt regretful—or even hateful—that she had eaten away decades of income in one meal.

Her eye sockets were slightly red, and tears of grievance swirled in her eyes. She still had to look at Qin Ge and gratefully said respectfully, "Young Master Qin, thank you."
