Chapter 27
Back in the house, Quin asked a few questions. Fade and Momo avoided mentioning the bar, and then went to wash up and rest.
The next morning, Fade got up early, but not to work, but to accompany Momo to Bay City University to register for the class.
After all, Quin was a workaholic, it was already very rare for her to go on leave just like the day before. Today, she would go back to work. Therefore, Fade was entrusted with Momo.
They came to Bay City University with lots of bags. Although they arrived very early, it took them a whole morning to finish the registration procedure, and soon it was noon.
Momo invited all three of her roommates to lunch as a way of getting to know each other. Therefore, Fade had no choice but to accompany her.
The four girls walked together and chatted happily. Fade, a big man, had to follow them.
Listening to their conversations, Fade gradually noticed something strange. The other three girls beside Momo had their own characteristics.
One of them was a tall, fashionable girl with shoulder-length hair. She was Louise Lee, a native of Bay City. She wore famous branded clothes and bags, worth at least more than tens of thousands of dollars. Her family must be quite wealthy.
Next to Louise was a short-haired girl named Diana Hu, who was also from Bay City. Diana wore Nike sports suits and sneakers. Compared to Louise's dress, she wore much cheaper clothing, but she was still from a medium-class family.
Besides Louise, the girl named Yuri Zhang had a noticeably poorer family background. Her old- fashioned dress was almost colorless. She was wearing a pair of sandals, and her hair was in a
simple ponytail with a plain rubber band. It was very ordinary, but it was refreshing and clean, giving off an air of cleanliness.
Louise and Momo were having the most fun chatting away. They kept talking about fashion magazines and famous fashion brands amongst other things. From time to time, she asked what brand of clothing Momo was wearing and what kind of cosmetics she usually used.
Obviously, Louise should have seen that although Momo was wearing nameless brands, her clothes were made of good quality fabric and were absolutely not ordinary. It was likely that they were custom made for her.
Diana was a native and her family background was not bad. She also paid attention to these things, so she could also participate in the conversation from time to time.
As for Yuri, she obviously could not participate in their conversation. She could only quietly listen to her companions. However, she was not unhappy, she was still young after all. But she inevitably felt a little sad.
Fade sighed and quickened his pace. He walked to Yuri and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Fade. I'm Momo's cousin. From now on, please take care of Momo at school."
Obviously, Yuri didn't expect that Fade would take the initiative to talk to her, so she couldn't help but feel startled. Then she bowed her head with a blush on her face and whispered, "Hello, my name is Yuri. We are classmates, and we will take care of each other in the future." Obviously, Yuri was a shy and simple girl.
"By the way, this is my phone number. You can call me if you need anything in the future." Fade wrote down his mobile phone number and pressed on with their conversation.
Momo noticed them and paused for a moment. She came to her senses and knew that she had just neglected Yuri, so she immediately came over and chatted with Yuri with a smile.
Diana also noticed this, so she also came over and chatted with Yuri for a while. But when she saw Louise turn her head and did not try to talk to Yuri, she hesitated for a moment and finally kept a distance. Diana continued to chat with Louise.
Just a few simple actions could let Fade see the characters of the girls. In his heart, Fade's impression of Louise was not good. Fade quietly thought that he had to remind Momo to avoid being too close with such a person.
Soon, they came to the food street outside the school. There were not many options, and they went straight to a restaurant with the most luxurious decoration. It was the first time for Momo to invite her classmates to a meal, so she wanted to eat something better. After all, Momo was not short of money.
The five of them were going to ask for a private room, but they didn't expect that the school was overcrowded at the beginning of the term. There were many rich people there, and none of the private rooms were available.
Momo was in a dilemma.
Seeing this, Yuri said, "Why don't we eat in the hall? The private rooms are more expensive. It's not worth it."
"Yuri is right. This restaurant is very good, it will still be good even in the hall. How about..." Diana continued, but in the middle of her sentenced, she heard Louise whispering, "You are stingy and poor." Then she swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.
Momo also heard what they said. She couldn't help frowning and was about to say something. The waiter came over and said, "I just vacated a big private room, and there is another table in it. If you don't mind..."
There was no better choice. Momo nodded and said, "I don't mind, arrange for us to go to the big private room."
Although Louise still felt a little disgusted, Momo had made up her mind. They didn't say much and followed the waiter in.
They came to the private room. Before they sat down, they heard an exaggerated female voice. "Hey, isn't this Miss Momo? Why do you come to such a small hotel for a meal?" Following the voice, Fade and the others immediately saw a woman dressed in heavy makeup and hot pants revealing her back, bright lipstick, and yellow hair. If it weren't for the logo of Bay City University on her clothes, no one would think she was a student.
When Momo heard the woman's words, her face could not help but turn cold. She said grumpily, "Ross, why are you so strange? Does it have anything to do with you that I'm having a meal with my classmates?"
"Momo, you..." The woman named Ross Zheng grew angry. She stood up and was about to scold Momo.
However, a man around Ross, who was twenty-three or four years old in a branded suit, stopped Ross and said to Momo with a smile, "Momo, I didn't expect to meet you here. Anyway, we just ordered some dishes. Why don't we eat together?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Wayne, you are here too!" Momo looked at the man in surprise, and then showed an expression of disgust. She waved her hand and refused the man's invitation, "I'm sorry, I have my boyfriend with me, so you don't need to worry about me." Momo said.
