I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 578 - 370 Steadfast Iron Bones, Games, Enjoyment_2

Her demeanor really seemed like that of a singer, and her outfit matched the band's style as well.

A member of the band?

She even looks a bit like Gu Ailing...

But then I saw her carrying a backpack, heading straight towards Shen Yuan.

"I'm here."

The person who arrived was Zhu Qingrou, who kicked Shen Yuan's lounge chair.

Shen Yuan lifted his head and glanced at her, "Oh, you're here. Why the haughty look? Who owes you money here?"

Zhu Qingrou replied indifferently, "Why didn't you send a car to pick me up earlier?"

Shen Yuan said lightly, "I was busy in the afternoon and had engagements in the evening; I wasn't at the hotel. It would have been pointless for you to come earlier."

"...So you let me wait alone in that hotel lobby all afternoon and evening?"

Shen Yuan was a bit annoyed, "What's with the interrogation? I agreed to book you a room for two nights, not to arrange your schedule 24 hours a day. Besides, you could have found a place to have fun first."

Zhu Qingrou looked unsatisfied, "I didn't eat much at noon, and to save money, I starved myself all evening. If you had sent a car earlier, at least I could have had dinner here."

Shen Yuan laughed in exasperation, "Saving on food? Ordering a Longjiang pig's trotter meal wouldn't cost much, right?"

Zhu Qingrou turned her head away disdainfully, "I would rather starve than eat that kind of food."

"Well, true to the Miss Zhu style."

Shen Yuan sneered, "Fine, since you're so delicately nurtured, you might as well skip the food at the hotel too. Their food is just so-so."

Zhu Qingrou stuck out her tongue, "I've already talked to the butler and ordered food, no need to trouble you."

"You sure know your way around high-end hotels."

Shen Yuan shrugged, unsure whether to call people like Zhu Qingrou stupid or foolish, preferring to stay hungry rather than eat cheap fast food, waiting to dine luxuriously at the hotel at 9:30 PM.

Preferring to borrow money from others rather than ask her father, all the while saving to buy discounted airline tickets.

Truly made of steel.

Before long, hotel staff arrived with a cart to deliver Zhu Qingrou's dinner; this mixed-race girl knew how to order from the Italian restaurant operating inside the hotel.

As the staff lifted the metal covers, even Shen Yuan felt tempted by the aroma of Italian pasta, risotto, grilled bread, sausages, seafood...

Seven or eight dishes just out of the kitchen, still steaming invitingly, Shen Yuan couldn't help but go over and say, "Damn, you're quite extravagant. Is your dad's money real money and mine isn't?"

The room Shen Yuan booked didn't include lunch and dinner, although the restaurants were inside the hotel, they still required extra payment.

Zhu Qingrou rolled her eyes, pointing with her fork at the busy band members: "You had the band and singers perform at the hotel, am I more extravagant than you? This meal isn't even a tenth of the cost of this performance."

"At least I can enjoy the performance. What do I gain from ordering Italian food for you?"

"You get... Hey, don't eat my sausage!"

Before Zhu Qingrou could react, Shen Yuan grabbed her fork, forked a sausage, and stuffed it in his mouth.

Biting down, the juicy flavors burst forth, filling his mouth with spices and the savory taste of meat.

Shen Yuan chewed on the sausage, nodding in satisfaction, "Tastes good."

Zhu Qingrou exclaimed indignantly, "Now I only have one fork, what am I supposed to use?"

"I'm not disgusted by you, yet you're disgusted by me."

Shen Yuan continued picking at the food, first forking a piece of bread, then some seafood.

"If you wanted to eat, you could just have the restaurant make another portion!"

Zhu Qingrou hadn't even had a bite, and seeing her food being "wasted" like this, she felt her chest hurting from frustration.

"Look at how stingy you are, don't forget this is all being spent out of my pocket."

Shen Yuan handed back the fork and pulled out a napkin to wipe his mouth.

Just then, Dai Lu, having finished taking photos, came over and politely asked, "Shen Yuan, who is this?"

She initially thought it was a band member or a singer, but now it was clear, that wasn't the case.

It seems Shen Yuan is quite close with this girl, given how casually she ordered the food cart and Shen Yuan directly ate her food.

Shen Yuan's woman?

Although Yuchang and you are just lovers, openly bringing another woman here is a bit too much, isn't it?

While still chewing, Shen Yuan pointed at Zhu Qingrou and said, "My grandniece."

Zhu Qingrou: "?"

"She has neither food to eat nor a place to stay in Shanghai; she's really pitiful, had to come to me for refuge."

Dai Lu continued to observe, "Grandniece? She looks about your age."

Shen Yuan: "Don't say that about her, although she does look a bit older."

Zhu Qingrou, infuriated, heaved her chest violently, wishing she could tear Shen Yuan's mouth apart.

You're the one who looks old! Your whole family looks old!

"Is she mixed-race?"

Dai Lu wasn't quite sure and wanted to clarify if she was a pure foreigner or mixed.

Shen Yuan impatiently said, "Isn't that obvious? Since she's my grandniece, of course, she's mixed."

Zhu Qingrou: "...."

Will this ever end? Who's your grandniece!

Just as the three of them were staring at each other, Lin Yuchang came out from the restroom and saw this exotic face, her eyes also filled with curiosity.

"This is my..."

Shen Yuan was about to introduce her, but Zhu Qingrou interrupted directly, "Hello sister, I'm Shen Yuan's cousin once removed and my name is Zhu Qingrou."

Immediately after saying that, Zhu Qingrou glared at Shen Yuan, retaliating for his earlier nonsense.

"Cousin?"

Lin Yuchang paused, not expecting that Shen Yuan had such a relative, but her Mandarin was impeccable, clearly having grown up here.

"You actually believe that?"
