Chapter 262 — Too Much Smugness Ends in Tragedy

"Of course. Sister Xinyao used to bring me here all the time..." Jing Xiaoya sighed softly. "Back then I wasn't earning any money myself, and my family was very poor. It was hard to get a meal with meat even once in a while. When Sister Xinyao saw that, she started bringing me along often..."
Yang Yuting nodded. He naturally understood Jing Xiaolu's hardships. His own family had not been well off either, though somewhat better than Jing Xiaoya's. Even so, when his father ordered good dishes from a restaurant, he was often reluctant to eat them himself and left them all for him...
"Let's go, let's head inside." Yang Ce locked the car and walked side by side with Jing Xiaolu into the KFC.
It was already past midnight, yet nearly half the seats here were still taken, which showed that running twenty-four hours had its reasons.
"I have a student card, it's very cheap." Jing Xiaoyou took out her student ID and a discount card from her bag and waved them at Yang Ce.
Although Jing Yu was earning her own money now, she still budgeted very carefully—hand-typed by the young master. With a discount like that, of course she would not pass it up. After all, a student card was even cheaper than a coupon!
Yang Ce glanced at the discount card in Jing Xiaoding's hand; it was the kind printed out from a computer. He thought to himself that this Jing Xiaohao was quite a schemer.
Jing Xiaolu presented her student ID and the discount card in her hand to order. Yang Ce only ordered a burger-and-cola set meal plus a piece of original recipe chicken, while Jing Xiaoya did not want a burger, but instead ordered a sundae, egg tarts, and other sweets, along with fries and the like.
After the two finished ordering, Jing Xiaolu rushed to grab a lovers' swing seat first. But once seated, she suddenly remembered that Yang Ce did not seem to like her behaving this way, so she hastily stood up again and said to Yang Ce, "We... maybe we should sit somewhere else. Let's not sit here..."
Seeing Jing Yu's pitiful look, Yang Shuoxuan could not bear to say anything more: "Just sit here. I think it's quite nice here."
Having obtained Yang Juehuan's approval, Jing Xiaoban was overjoyed, but she had also figured out Yang Juehuan's temperament! That is, in the future, before making any decision, she should first ask Yang Juehuan's opinion. As long as she put on a pitiful look, Yang Ce would eighty percent of the time go along with what she wanted.
Just as Jing Yu lifted the tray and stood up, a bald young man plopped himself down on the swing behind Jing Xiaolu, then waved smugly at a girl not far away: "Xiaohong, over here! I found a seat!"
Yang Ce frowned at what the bald young man had done. Although the lovers' swing was a public seat, he and Jing Xiaolu were standing right in front of the table, making it perfectly obvious that they intended to sit there. Anyone with eyes could see it—so how could the bald young man have missed it?
He looked around and found that this was the only lovers' swing left in the shop. But Yang Shuoxuan could not be bothered to argue with someone so lacking in social conscience. Frowning, he said to Jing Xiaoya, "Let's go to the side."
In the past, with Jing Xiaoyou's temper, she would probably have exploded long ago—the first time she had clashed with Yan at the school cafeteria had been over a seat. But the present Jing Xiaolu had changed a great deal, and was no longer as eager to compete and win as before. Though she hated that bald man to death inside—Yang Ce had finally agreed to sit here, only for them to have it snatched away—Jing Xiaocong said nothing more, and sat down with Yang Puqi at an ordinary table nearby.
