Chapter 76: What’s the Difference?

Lin Sheng was speechless for a moment. “What’s the difference between the two?”
Jiang Ling’er said with a serious face, “The price is different based on the packaging.”
Lin Sheng laughed in anger. “Are you making fun of me?”
Jiang Ling’er said seriously, “No. When I was at my worst, I could only afford to eat vermicelli. It was sold for two yuan per 600 grams. I used to buy ten yuan worth of vermicelli to cook at home with some seasonings.”
Lin Sheng’s face darkened. “I can only afford to eat instant noodles right now.
Is that what you want to hear?”
She said meaningfully, “I mean, you’re still far from the worst possible situation, so there’s no need to mention how miserable you are.”
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes. Two million might not be a lot of money to the young lady of the Jiang family, but for him, it sure wasn’t a small amount.
Jiang Ling’er said, “Actually, whenever you’re out of money, you can just look for food samples in various supermarkets. You can also go to food stalls. Why don’t we go and take a look?”
Classes started at 2 pm, so there was enough time to eat and walk around.
Lin Sheng’s face darkened. ‘What the heck is this girl thinking? Get food samples from supermarkets? Isn’t her family rich?’
He coughed. “Alright, that’s enough. Do I look like that kind of person?”
“But Bro, it sounds interesting. Why don’t we try it together?” Sun Qiang said.
Lin Sheng looked at Sun Qiang and said, “If you’re really that shameless, then go ahead. 1 don’t want to stoop that low.”
Wang Shuai put on a pitiful expression as he looked at Lin Sheng helplessly.
His best friend had guaranteed them that they would win back double their investment. Now, however, he was on the verge of selling his clothes for food.
Wang Shuai pleaded, “Please bring me along. I can’t even afford instant noodles this month.”
Lin Sheng was annoyed. “Y-You guys…”
Wen Nuan looked at Lin Sheng and said, “Senior Lin, let’s just go! It’s not that easy to bounce back after losing all that money. Just treat it as a life lesson.”
He sighed out of guilt and said, “I feel really awful that you guys have to suffer with me because of my poor judgments.”
Sun Qiang retorted, “Bro, what nonsense are you talking about? Anyway, let’s try getting some food samples. I hope we get something nice!”
After saying that, Sun Qiang walked forward.
Wang Shuai said, “Sun Qiang, wait for me.”
Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “Alright, stop being so depressed. You can always earn more money. For now, let’s go!”
The five of them walked to the mall together. Coincidentally, there was a food event and it was time to eat. The area was filled with people looking for food to eat, and every stall was busy.
After tasting food from a few stalls, the group forgot about all of their worries. They spent dozens of yuan to sample all kinds of delicacies.
Half an hour later, the five of them walked back to school with some milk tea.
On the way, Lin Sheng said emotionally, “1 didn’t expect my mood would be so much better after doing all this. I don’t even feel that depressed anymore.”
Wen Nuan smiled and said, “I’m glad that you’re feeling better. However,
Senior Lin, 1 have to say that you have pretty bad taste. I can’t believe you actually think that Yue Ling is better than Ling’er.”
Lin Sheng was a little embarrassed. Like his father, he wasn’t good at investing, but his family had a company to run.
Lin Sheng replied, “When you bet five million on Jiang Ling’er, 1 thought you were a silly girl from a rich family. At that time, I was really confused about how you could bet so much on a well-known slacker.”
Wen Nuan glanced at him and said, “You’re a smart person yourself, Senior Lin.
But now, your pockets are cleaner than your face.”
Lin Sheng put on a helpless expression. He had heard many rumors about Jiang Ling’er poor grades, so he didn’t hesitate to bet against her.
Sun Qiang sighed. “We can only blame ourselves. Junior Jiang had really hidden her abilities well.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Sun Qiang and said in surprise, “Senior Sun, didn’t you bet as well?”
Sun Qiang took a sip of milk tea and replied, “Of course, 1 participated! But who would have thought that you were deceiving the entire school all along?”
Jiang Ling’er grinned. “Well, five people bet on me.”
Lin Sheng felt awkward. He had mocked those who bet on Jiang Ling’er, saying that they were just wasting their money. In the end, all he did was slap himself in the face.
Jiang Ling’er glanced at Wang Shuai, who was quietly drinking his milk tea. She asked casually, “Senior Wang, did you place a bet, too?”
He replied, “That’s right. They said it would be a good investment, but now, I’m about to sell all of my underwear for money. My mom will only give me living expenses starting next month.”
Wen Nuan said with a smirk, “Nine out of ten bets end in a loss. This time, it’s not just the three of you who lost. I’m just much smarter because 1 believed in Ling’er..”
