Chapter 1373: Chapter 1368: That Makes Sense
The three girls next to her could have been considered beauties themselves, but compared to Zhang Lianyi, they seemed completely outclassed.
Xie Jingyi was very displeased with this and remarked as they walked to the stairwell, "I think for major gatherings and so on, dressing up beautifully is a must, otherwise, it’ll seem uncultured."
This was a clear dig at Zhang Lianyi for not dressing up.
Zhang Lianyi was no fool; she realized what was being implied, and her expression turned a little uneasy.
Qin Hao felt that, as Zhang Lianyi’s "husband," he needed to step up and say something.
So he smiled and said, "That may be true, but dressing up also depends on the occasion. We’re all college students; dorm mates are like family, and overly deliberate dressing up makes one seem aloof."
He paused, then continued, "For a gathering, the key is to show up and have a good time."
Upon hearing this, Sister Yun and Meimei both glanced at Qin Hao appreciatively.
This handsome guy sure knows how to chat big!
Xie Jingyi scoffed, "What a ridiculous reasoning, not even willing to dress up shows a lack of respect for the gathering! How can anyone have a good time like that?"
"If it weren’t important, they wouldn’t go."
Qin Hao said seriously, "So your assumption doesn’t hold."
"You!"
Xie Jingyi couldn’t argue back and got a bit angry, "A big man like you arguing with girls, your character is really just..."
As they spoke, the group reached the first floor, and as they passed a doorway, Auntie Tu rushed out, grabbing Qin Hao’s arm with a big smile, "Young fellow! You’re out!"
"Yes. Hello, Sister Tu!" Qin Hao smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, classmate, I don’t know your last name yet!" Auntie Tu proactively asked.
"My name is Qin Hao..."
"Ah, so you’re Qin classmate!" Auntie Tu beamed and grabbed Qin Hao like a confidante, "Qin classmate, did you fix the computer?"
"Yeah, it’s fixed..."
"Haha, I knew Qin classmate could fix it, such a helpful and problem-solving good student like Qin classmate is rare!"
Then her face turned stern as she stared at the four girls, "You all, learn more from Qin classmate! Stop with the nonsense that’s ruining the dorm’s reputation!"
"Yes!"
Meimei, Sister Yun, and Zhang Lianyi all nodded quickly, afraid of angering Auntie Tu.
Xie Jingyi was completely stunned.
She had just criticized Qin Hao’s character, but Auntie Tu came out and praised him.
Wasn’t this a slap in the face?
"Uh, Sister Tu, I need to go eat with my classmates now, can I visit you after I finish?"
To get out of there, Qin Hao had no choice but to lie.
"Of course! Xiaojie, my door is always open for you to come chatter!"
Auntie Tu said with enthusiasm as she patted Qin Hao’s shoulder.
"Then goodbye, Sister Tu!"
Qin Hao left the dorm building, waved to Auntie Tu, and quickly slipped away.
The girls suddenly snapped out of it and quickly followed.
Once they regrouped, the atmosphere immediately brightened.
"Hahaha! So that’s how you flatter Nanny Rong!"
"Truly a master! Even got Sister Tu on your side! Respect, respect!"
Even after a while, Meimei and Sister Yun hadn’t cooled down, remaining very excited.
Qin Hao modestly smiled, "As they say, flattery breaks through the toughest defenses, Sister Tu may seem tough, but underneath, she’s still a woman. As long as you understand her preferences, it’s easy to flatter her!"
"Thanks for the lesson!"
Meimei clasped her hands, showing respect.
Sister Yun gave a thumbs up, "Impressive!"
"Vain! Shameless!"
Xie Jingyi muttered unhappily beside them, then seeing Liu Qi waiting eagerly outside, she chuckled, waved, and ran over, "Brother Qi!"
"You’re here!" Liu Qi had been waiting for a while, and as he saw the others arriving, his eyes lit up.
The girls from this dorm are all so pretty!
Especially with Zhang Lianyi, the ultimate goddess, it’s truly pleasing to the eye!
"Come on! Let’s ride in my car!"
Liu Qi enthusiastically led the group to the parking lot.
Parked on the side was a Land Rover Range Rover, looking large and very impressive.
"Wow! Brother Qi, is this your car? So awesome!"
Upon seeing the car, Meimei began to praise.
"Hehe! This is just one of mine, I’ve got a Jaguar and a Benz back home."
Enjoying the compliments, Liu Qi was pleased, opened the car door, and sat inside.
The Range Rover had lots of space, but seats were designed for five people, while there were six present.
With a quick calculation, Liu Qi gave a mischievous smile, "Get in the car, ladies!"
As a result, Xie Jingyi got into the front passenger seat, acting like a boss, "Don’t be polite."
Meimei and Sister Yun took the back seats.
Zhang Lianyi hadn’t moved when Liu Qi smiled and said, "Sorry, but there’s only one seat left, Zhang Lianyi, you should get in. I’ll give your boyfriend money for a cab."
Saying this, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his briefcase and handed it toward Qin Hao.
Zhang Lianyi didn’t move but furrowed her brow.
Knowing full well that Mr. and I are a couple, he still tries to separate us and even offers money.
This Liu Qi is simply irritating!
As Liu Qi saw the two not speaking, his face showed more arrogance, "Qin Hao, why aren’t you accepting? Do you plan to join us and let your girlfriend take a cab?"
Afraid Qin Hao would get angry, Zhang Lianyi waved her hand, "Take your money back. I’m taking a cab with Mr.!"
"Zhang Lianyi! What do you mean by that!"
Perhaps it was Zhang Lianyi’s impatient tone; Xie Jingyi was angry in the front, "Ordinary people never get a chance to ride in a Range Rover! This time, Brother Sheng is letting you ride because of me, and you’re throwing a tantrum?"
"Who said I wanted to ride?"
Zhang Lianyi said defiantly.
"You’re hopeless! Obviously wanting to ride, yet acting all high and mighty!"
Xie Jingyi shook her head disdainfully.
Liu Qi beside them cut in with a smile, "Alright Jingjing, say no more. Ripples just doesn’t want her boyfriend to feel lonely."
While speaking, he looked at Qin Hao, evidently showing two flashes of hatred, "But Qin sir, as a man, shouldn’t you make sure your girlfriend is comfortable rather than suffering with you?"
"That makes sense." Qin Hao nodded seriously.
"Haha!"
Liu Qi sneered, "Then why don’t you take the money for a cab? Rest assured, Ripples has me to take care of her, she’ll be pampered and cozy."
These words had another layer of meaning, which Zhang Lianyi detected, and she was visibly angered.
Just as she was about to react, Qin Hao grabbed the banknote.
"Sir..." Zhang Lianyi was puzzled, Sir, why did you take it?
