With that brief shove, they felt like they had been toyed with by this woman.
"Jingjing, they seem to be..." Ning Fengzhi put on a thoughtful expression, his brows furrowed.
"Who?" Dongfang Jingjing asked him curiously.
Ning Fengzhi found names with four characters too cumbersome, so he simply called her "Jingjing." Dongfang Jingjing didn't mind.
"Who were they?"
He couldn't quite recall, having been focused on eating. Could they be people from the next table? No, there were only two people at the next table.
"You cut in line right in front of us earlier," the group of people said, even more annoyed by Ning Fengzhi's attitude. This over-the-top acting was clearly an insult to them!
"Oh! You guys!"
Dongfang Jingjing suddenly realized, "What's up? I paid the front desk for a skip-the-line service earlier and don't have any cash on me. But if you need it, I could go get a few thousand yuan for you. Want some?"
As she spoke, she blinked her innocent eyes.
Her innocent and carefree demeanor only made them more unbearable, especially since her words sounded like she was offering them charity.
When had they ever been insulted like this?
"They probably won't want it. I offered them a thousand before, and they didn't even care, remember?" Ning Fengzhi reminded her.
"They probably think the money was too little to be worth their notice," Wang Qiran said. He knew he was with four powerful individuals, which gave him confidence. Although he wasn't sure if Ning Fengzhi was as formidable as Zhuge Lan, the way those two introduced themselves earlier suggested they were significant figures.
He had certainly turned up the sarcasm to maximum, intending to annoy these people.
When he offered five hundred yuan earlier, they hadn't even bothered to look at him. He had tried to negotiate politely, but they had treated him with such disrespect, without any semblance of courtesy. He couldn't stand it!
He had been too stunned to react earlier while eating, but now he was eager to vent his frustrations.
"It is indeed not much."
Dongfang Jingjing blinked, "A few thousand yuan isn't much... But, that's my hard-earned pocket money. I've changed my mind."
"A few thousand yuan is barely enough for a drink, so I won't give it to you. Is there anything else? If not, we're going to have some fun?" Dongfang Jingjing was no ordinary person; she was the pampered pearl of the Dongfang family, someone few dared to speak to even in Shanghai. These people were just playthings for her to tease.
Although she hadn't been to many bars or dined in such establishments before,
bullying was something she was naturally good at.
"What do you mean by that?"
Upon hearing Dongfang Jingjing's words, the group felt utterly insulted.
Why did this woman look so cute when she spoke, yet every word she uttered was laced with barbs?
"It means, if you're unhappy, go home and find your mom. Don't act like a spoiled child here," Wang Qiran rolled his eyes. "You all look old enough, so how can you lack such basic reading comprehension? Did you not learn well in compulsory education?"
"You've gone a bit too far with that remark," Ning Fengzhi quickly said. "They might not have necessarily failed in their compulsory education."
"Perhaps they're just loopholes in the compulsory education system."
