Chapter 23 - The Treasure That Is The Female Artiste

"Nope!" Gu Ran pried Ma Yunyun's hand away in annoyance and continued to mess with her phone.

"Hmph! I guess I won't rely on you anymore then!"

Ma Yunyun was a little angry. Turning around, she once again looped her arm through Liao Ping's. "Just now, Gu Ran told me that the restaurant is holding a joint event with the hotel we're staying at. As long as we eat within the limited time, we can eat for free."

Everyone was enlightened in an instant and finally understood why Gu Ran was so calm! It turned out that the meal really was free.

"But buffets are normally eaten in the restaurant itself. Why would they allow us to pack takeaway?" Liao Ping asked.

"Because I had told the receptionist, that we have an intelligence stunted sister who's never eaten buffets before who likes their strawberry cakes and cookies, and on the behalf of god's will to please show her some kindness and let us take some away." Gu Ran explained.

"Where do we have an intelligence stunted sister?" Ma Yunyun asked in suspicion. They all had normal intelligence!

Liao Ping, who had been standing to the side, smiled involuntarily. Even Mo Yancheng, who had been walking at the side expressionlessly, could not help the smile tugging at his lips.

"Gu Ran!" Ma Yunyun yelled in anger as the impliations of Gu Ran's words registered in her mind, "You dare mock me!"

"Did I say it was you?" Gu Ran furrowed her brows.

"You!"

"if you're angry, there'll be no cakes and cookies tonight. You can starve for all I care!"

Ma Yunyun was too angry to speak. How could they just let Gu Ran hold so much power in their group

"Then… then I want two more dollars for the night! If it weren't for me, how would you have this much food!"

Gu Ran rolled her eyes. It could at least be counted as a silent concession!

———"Hahahaha! This is the first time that I realised that Ma Yunyun is so dumb that it makes her adorable!"

———"F*ck, Gu Ran is so smart! She's very well-versed in the in and outs of this hotel!"

———"No wonder she was writing so much last night, it was to plan for today's occurences! She's so cool!"

———"But to lie to our foreign brothers like that, its embrrassing our own country! Gu Ran has no values!"

———"Can the comment above me zip it! In such a vile environment, what harm is a little white lie going to do?"

———"Right! Even those within the country didn't say anything, why do you have to be a saint here?"

———"Gu Ran really is talented and smart. Who we thought was a nobody at first really turned out to be a secret treasure of an artiste!"

"Who would have thought that despite her age, Gu Ran has developed such carefulness and smarts." Yan Hao sighed.

Feng Cheng gave a cold hmph. "It's just luck! If I hadn't gotten the hotel in the first place, where'd she get all her fancy promotions anyway?"

Yan Hao gave him a sideline glance. Because of the camera pointed at him, he refrained from saying anything. However, it was Mo Yancheng who replied frostily, "If you hadn't burned through so much of our funds, Gu Ran would not have to resort to such things in the first place."

Feng Cheng :"…"

"Yes, I lacked judgement yesterday, and for that I truly am sorry!" Feng Cheng said, properly chastised, "I just wanted everyone to have a better time. It was not done on purpose!"

Yan Hao furrowed his brows. Feng Cheng was really playing with fire, showing the two sides of himself like this. It was a shame that Mo Yancheng had no care for him. "Since you know how to apologize, speak less and do more!"

Feng Cheng pulled his lip stiffly. "Yes."

The tasks for the day was done, and there was no need to pay for the hotel fees any longer, so there was no way they could use the hotel's bus any longer. They still had two nights to go, but now they had nowhere to stay.

"Gu Ran, where would we stay?"
