The car drove into Wanlong Square, a few kilometers outside the school. This place was popular among nearby students. Although the expenses were high, most students couldn't afford it, but sometimes just coming to window shop was a fun thing to do.
Most of the food at Wanlong Square was fairly priced, with an average cost of about one hundred per person. But on the top floor, there was a French restaurant where the average price exceeded five hundred. They had wanted to come many times but never dared to go in. This time, they were lucky to have Fang Jueyu with them.
"Order whatever you want, don't be shy!" Fang Jueyu handed the menu directly to them. The cost of this restaurant was indeed not cheap, but still far less than what he usually spent on a meal.
Although everyone said they would take advantage of Fang Jueyu, when it came time to order, each of them was surprisingly reserved, looking like little girls who would be full after just a bite.
"What are you all pretending for?" Guo Xinyu couldn't help but laugh at their antics.
They often ate together, and even the shortest among them, Long Wei, was a big eater who could finish a huge hamburger in five bites and not take a sixth bite. Yet here she was, only ordering a fruit salad and a watermelon juice!
"It's not like I have long-term plans. I can't let you, the future wealthy lady, look down on us!" Long Wei said, pretending to look aggrieved.
"Exactly, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already ditching friends for a guy. Xinyu, we really misjudged you!" Zhou Jing said, looking heartbroken.
"Alright, alright. Xinyu is just joking with you. Order whatever you want!" Fang Jueyu quickly tried to smooth things over.
But Fang Jueyu's words didn't seem to work. The three of them looked at Guo Xinyu for confirmation, as if asking if they could really eat to their heart's content.
In the end, Guo Xinyu couldn't resist the gazes and reluctantly nodded.
"Yay! Xinyu, I love you to death!" Wu Xiaoling almost wanted to give Guo Xinyu a big kiss.
"This, I want this volcano steak, deep-sea butterfly prawns, French red wine braised chicken chops, and this Black Forest..."
"Order it all, I also want that Mexican spicy chicken breast, and a matcha forest..."
"Were you all hungry ghosts in a past life?" Guo Xinyu regretted her decision a little as she watched Fang Jueyu's dumbfounded expression. She wished she could just bury herself underground. It was too embarrassing.
"Xinyu, what's that saying? You eat the meat, and we sisters sip the soup. What's wrong with that? You got yourself a big shot like Dean Fang; it's not too much to let us have some benefits, is it? Besides, we don't eat every day." Zhou Jing defended herself.
Guo Xinyu wasn't worried about the money; it was just that their behavior was somewhat embarrassing.
"Yeah, we worried about you all night last night, so what's wrong with rewarding ourselves with some food today?" Long Wei chimed in.
"By the way, handsome Fang," the three suddenly ignited with gossip flames, "our Xinyu never dated before, but her suitors can line up from the school gate to the South Lake. Trust fund kids driving sports cars are a dime a dozen. So how did you win her over?"
"Well, it's personal charm, personal charm, haha!" Fang Jueyu shamelessly laughed.
Hiss! Fang Jueyu felt a hand pinch the flesh on his waist, and he bared his teeth in pain.
"Well, you know, outstanding people attract each other. There's no winning over or not winning over, right, Xinyu?" Fang Jueyu forced a smile as he looked at Guo Xinyu, wondering how these girls could be so fierce after getting into relationships.
"Oh, right, I haven't formally introduced you," Guo Xinyu suddenly remembered what she forgot.
"This is our dorm leader Wu Xiaoling, a vocal major, also a local from Jiangnan City, and she usually takes good care of the three of us."
"Hello!" Wu Xiaoling extended her hand generously.
"This is Zhou Jing, a violin major from Yanjing."
"This is Long Wei, we're even in the same major and class!"
"Hello, I'm Fang Jueyu, from Haihua City, currently a student at Jiangnan University, entering my senior year!" Fang Jueyu introduced himself voluntarily. "I'm not very good at talking or coaxing girls, so if I ever make Xinyu angry, I'll have to trouble you all!"
"Haha, no problem, no problem. Just for today's meal alone, our Xinyu is sold to you!" Though everyone was joking, the three girls noticed that no matter the time, Fang Jueyu always had his eyes softly lingering on Guo Xinyu, which showed he was serious about her.
"Today, it was a last-minute decision to eat together, so I didn't have time to prepare any gifts. Consider this your meeting gift!" Fang Jueyu took out three small boxes from his pocket.
"Fang Jueyu, you're too kind. No need to prepare gifts!" The three girls said this, but smiled and accepted them.
"Just for this gift, I'll tell you a secret!" Long Wei beckoned Fang Jueyu with her finger. "Xinyu and I bathed together. Don't look at her slim figure..."
"Weiwei! You're asking for a beating!" Guo Xinyu's face flushed with embarrassment, and she pretended to go after her.
"Heh, I thought it was a real secret!" Fang Jueyu muttered to himself.
"This... this is too valuable. We... we can't accept it." Zhou Jing opened the small box and immediately gasped in surprise. She initially thought it was just some small jewelry or trinkets, but when the box was opened, the diamond's brilliance made her hand tremble slightly.
The price tag was still on it, and the long string of zeros left her dizzy. The diamond necklace was priced at 570,000!
What the heck, since when did rich people take friends of their girlfriends out to eat and start giving diamond necklaces? And for tens of thousands worth?
Initially, Zhuang Ying prepared necklaces worth millions, but Fang Jueyu thought that such expensive items might leave a bad impression, so he switched to relatively cheaper ones.
But even the cheaper ones cost hundreds of thousands!
"Go ahead and accept them. I have many diamond mines in Africa, so these diamond necklaces mean nothing to me. I should be thanking you for taking care of Xinyu over the years."
"Diamond mines?" Hearing this, the three girls almost fainted.
There were many rumors online about Fang Jueyu. Some said he was a director of an automobile group, others said he was an illegitimate son of a tycoon, while some claimed he was the son of an official. But no one ever said he had mines in Africa, let alone "many" diamond mines!
"Are you really giving these to us?" They felt like they were dreaming. It was so wonderful, a bit unreal. Guo Xinyu had really found herself a diamond bachelor!
"Of course, keep them safe," Fang Jueyu nodded with a smile. "Oh, by the way, next month I'm inviting you to see Su Lun's concert. I'll give the tickets to Xinyu to bring to you. They're VIP seats in the front row!"
"Ah!" The three of them were practically ultimate Su Lun fangirls. They had scrimped and saved for months to look forward to seeing Su Lun's concert, yet they hadn't managed to get tickets. This news was even more explosive than the three necklaces.
"You wouldn't happen to know Su Lun, would you?" Wu Xiaoling asked.
"Sort of. A few days ago, when I went to Sanya, he even caught a ride on my private jet."
"Xinyu, you must have saved the galaxy in your previous life!" They were already numb to Fang Jueyu's wealth.
"I might have saved the whole universe." Guo Xinyu affectionately looked at Fang Jueyu, as the hands under the table secretly held each other.
"Rich guy, do you have any brothers or sisters? Introduce one to us?"
