Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 622: Afraid I Have No Money

"Afraid I don’t have money?" Jiang Xue glanced at the waiter, then at the women who came with Lu Ling; each of them had the same expression, as if they were scared she had no money.

So, Jiang Xue curled her lips into a smile, then said, "If that’s the case, I’ll pay the bill first. However, it seems Miss Lu has picked her items too, why not together?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Lu Ling was surprised and looked at her. The waiter was even more shocked and asked, "Are you really going to buy all these clothes together?"

"Of course, these styles look quite good to me." Jiang Xue said casually, but when she slipped her hand into her pocket, her face slightly froze, only then remembering she seemed to have left her card in the space.

No money coming out, what to do now?

The hesitation in Jiang Xue’s demeanor and her expression was noticed by Lu Ling and the others, reigniting hope in their hearts. They hoped Jiang Xue didn’t have the money, so she would lose in this situation.

"I need to go to the restroom first." Jiang Xue told the waiter. Right now, there was no way she could enter the space in front of everyone, but it would be different in the restroom.

Besides, the restroom wasn’t far. Just earlier, Mu Qiancheng took Little Reunion to the restroom, and they hadn’t returned yet; perhaps something happened.

"Jiang Xue, are you really out of money? Otherwise, why would you suddenly need to go to the restroom?" Lu Ling scrutinized Jiang Xue, probing.

"Yeah, even if you have to go, shouldn’t you pay for these clothes first?"

"Miss Jiang, are you planning to ditch the bill?"

"Who said I have no money? It’s just that my stomach feels a little uncomfortable." Jiang Xue argued anxiously, her face turning crimson. Her demeanor made Lu Ling once again suspect that Jiang Xue might indeed be out of money.

Going to the restroom could just be an excuse, a pretense to run away.

With this thought, Lu Ling suggested, "Miss Jiang, are you planning to use the restroom as a cover to sneak away?"

"You’re overthinking it!" Jiang Xue replied calmly. She had no intention of sneaking away. How could she leave without having proven Lu Ling wrong?

However, Lu Ling thought otherwise. She believed Jiang Xue wanted to escape; otherwise, why wouldn’t she go to the restroom earlier or later, but right at the moment of payment?

"You and I both know if it’s overthinking. Jiang Xue, if you’re short on cash, you shouldn’t pretend to be a big spender here. Look at all the clothes you chose, it’s about seven to eight thousand. Without a job or income, where’s the money coming from?"

"Where my money comes from doesn’t seem to concern Miss Lu, does it? Since Miss Lu is eager to pay, why not go ahead?"

"You haven’t paid, so why should I pay first?" Lu Ling retorted, staring coldly at Jiang Xue. Today, she was determined to see Jiang Xue embarrassed.

"Miss Lu, as I just mentioned, it’s not that I don’t want to pay first, but nature calls. Once I’m back from the restroom, I’ll naturally pay up. You wouldn’t expect me to hold it in, would you?"

"Who knows if you’re telling the truth, what if you’re tricking us?"

"Exactly, what if going to the restroom is a ruse and escaping is your real intention."

"That’s right, so Miss Jiang, perhaps you should pay first."

"Miss Jiang, what do you say?" The waiter was also in a dilemma, not one to judge based on appearances. But Jiang Xue definitely looked like someone about to make a dash without paying.
