Lu Qian called her dad, asking for several thousand at the start, scaring the couple quite a bit.

Lu Qian just couldn’t stand Chuzheng living better than her, and now she was causing trouble for money.

The other end of the phone yelled at her, refusing to give her so much money to squander.

"But Lu Chuzheng is staying here!" Lu Qian protested, "Why can’t I stay? Mom and Dad, if you don’t let me stay, I’ll have to sleep on the street. Can you really bear that?"

"Lu Chuzheng?" The aunt on the phone was puzzled, "She’s here too?"

Lu Qian exaggerated the encounter she had with Chuzheng earlier and told her aunt, emphasizing how much Chuzheng looked down on her.

The aunt was also easily provoked, especially when there were past grievances involved.

If it was before, the aunt might have shamelessly visited to make Father Lu and Mother Lu book a room for Lu Qian too.

But now the aunt knew it wasn’t realistic. She gritted her teeth, "How much is that room per night?"

"Are you crazy!"

The uncle’s voice came from the phone, visibly exasperated.

Could their family’s financial situation compare to his brother’s family?

The aunt wouldn’t let the uncle speak, going straight into the room.

Lu Qian mentioned the lowest price, and even then, the aunt was shocked by the cost.

Lu Qian kept causing a fuss on the phone, continually instilling in her aunt just how much Chuzheng despised her, including Father Lu and Mother Lu in her complaints.

-

Lu Qian hung up the phone, feeling refreshed, and walked back to have the front desk book a room.

Lu Qian had never earned money, not knowing the hardship of it, spending without any concern.

Once inside the room, seeing the specifications and facing her companions’ envious and amazed stares, Lu Qian felt a hidden sense of pride, completely forgetting the cost here.

On the other side, Miao Miao Miao held her phone, snapping photos in the room.

Not satisfied with just photos, she started a livestream.

"I never thought one day I’d stay in a presidential suite with a gal, tsk tsk tsk... Look at this luxurious decor, come, let me show you the nighttime view of the city overflowing with money... Oh, it’s not dark yet, wait until it’s dark and I’ll show you."

"Yeah, I’m here for the comic convention."

"Maybe you’ll run into me tomorrow."

"With who? Hehe, of course with a beauty. Want to see? Isn’t having me enough for you, you even want to see other Little Demons?"

Miao Miao Miao, talking while moving her phone towards Chuzheng, who noticed and closed the door beforehand.

The lens only caught the moment the door closed, a fleeting image.

"Oh, see, she won’t show you." Miao Miao Miao knocked on the door, "Beauty, don’t be shy, come out and meet the guests."

Chuzheng didn’t bother with her.

Previously, the original host would take photos but didn’t let Miao Miao Miao randomly share her pictures or participate in livestreams, so Miao Miao Miao wasn’t surprised.

After calling symbolically a few times, she immediately shifted her attention.

Chuzheng directly ordered dinner from the hotel. Once it was delivered, Miao Miao Miao of course didn’t plan to stop the livestream, ready to broadcast the meal.

Chuzheng: "..."

Miao Miao Miao stabilized her phone, the lens only on her.

[Whoa! Eating so well?]

[Seeing the plate arrangement, I can tell it’s expensive, how much is each bite?]

[Sister’s gone all out, daring to spend like this, how can we afford it?]

[The streamer is already sponsored, nowadays girls are sponsored by other girls, what are us single folks supposed to do?]

[Whoa, whoa, whoa!! Just saw a hand in the frame, it looks so good!!]

[I saw it too.]

[Looks so good, licking the screen.]

[Show it again, please.]

When Chuzheng reached for something, her hand accidentally appeared in the frame, the comments immediately filled with hand enthusiasts demanding a repeat view.

Chuzheng gave Miao Miao Miao an indifferent glance, Miao Miao Miao laughed nervously, not daring to turn the camera.

"For the sake of not being kicked out tonight, please spare me." Miao Miao Miao played cute before the camera: "Just look at my paws, aren’t they beautiful too?"

Miao Miao Miao always looked cute and charming, but this cuteness also meant her hands seemed round, not the slender type.

-

"Qian Qian, come take a look."

Lu Qian came out from her room, "Look at what?"

Without saying, her companion beckoned her over: "Come see this."

Lu Qian, perplexed, walked over to look at her companion’s phone screen.

On the screen was Miao Miao Miao’s livestream room, with a good number of viewers, messages of gifts flashing across, and Miao Miao Miao’s voice intermittently from inside.

"Isn’t this the girl who was with Lu Chuzheng earlier?" Companion A asked Lu Qian.

Lu Qian had some recollection: "Seems like it."

She frowned at the screen; the background should be the hotel, since they hadn’t drawn the curtains, the buildings outside were visible as from her room.

"Qian Qian, look at what they’re eating, it looks exquisite." Companion B pointed at the screen’s food: "Makes me want to eat too."

Companion A: "Is it free?"

Companion B: "I don’t think so... it looks quite pricey."

Companion A was puzzled: "Staying in such an expensive hotel, isn’t it freely provided?"

"Do you know about it, Qian Qian?" Companion B asked Lu Qian.

"..."

How would Lu Qian know?

She’d never stayed in such a hotel.

Actually, even staying here made her a bit regretful, but thinking that Chuzheng had stayed here, Lu Qian felt she had regained some ground.

Especially when facing her companions’ admiring looks, Lu Qian felt even more buoyant.

Lu Qian didn’t want to admit she didn’t know, she pointed at the screen: "This streamer has quite a lot of fans..."

"Indeed, a lot." Her companions’ attention shifted immediately: "Look at how many people are gifting her. And her registered time seems quite early."

"I can’t do it, it’s making me want to eat." Companion A salivated while looking, turning their gaze to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian, for face reason, didn’t say she didn’t know; scanning the area, she found some on the side table.

"This seems to be free." Lu Qian handed items to her companions.

It read free provision.

The two girls immediately went closer to look. The items seemed less exquisite than the ones on screen but were quite upscale too.

And all were free...

Companion A pointed at a line: "There’s a restaurant, we can eat there."

It’s written that meals can be delivered or eaten downstairs.

"Let’s go to the restaurant, I want to see the restaurant!" Companion B exclaimed excitedly.

Lu Qian seeing it was free, had no comment: "Sure."

The three girls quickly tidied up and left, entering the elevator, Companion A remembered: "What floor is the restaurant again? I forgot to check."

Companion B pointed at the top button on the elevator: "Isn’t it labeled up there."

"Oh right."

They pressed the elevator button; the three girls immediately started discussing.

"I want to eat steak, looks delicious."

"I want it too!"
