Chapter 285 His Family is Very Rich

"Eating barbecue is fun with a lot of people. I'll treat everyone tonight!" Su Qian said, as the young man had already nonchalantly pulled out a chair and taken a seat.

"Yeah, yeah, the more the merrier." The other two girls, after all still students, also sat down laughing, seemingly without much scheming.

"Hehe, true, barbecue is indeed more fun with more people. But since you're still students, we should be the ones treating you." Liu Jiayao actually wanted to learn more about Ge Dongxu's love life and since Su Qian had spoken up and her classmate had already made himself at home, she didn't wait for Dongxu to say anything. She smiled and took over the conversation not wanting Dongxu to feel awkward because of her presence.

"Hehe, I am a student, but I've already started a small company outside, so I can treat you to dinner, no problem," the young man said, his face clearly showing a smug look of pride.

"Yeah, Senior Luo Cheng is amazing. We plan to go work and intern at his company this coming summer vacation," Su Qian said as she took her seat, seeing that the senior and the other two classmates had already sat down and Liu Jiayao had spoken as well.

Liu Jiayao looked at Ge Dongxu with a smile in her eyes when she heard this.

"Then let's go Dutch," Ge Dongxu said naturally not wanting to drive them away, but also not willing to accept Luo Cheng's offer.

"Dongxu, don't argue with Senior Luo Cheng, his family is really rich," Su Qian said.

"Dongxu, and this beautiful lady, don't listen to Su Qian's nonsense. It's just a small hotel my dad owns, worth only four or five million. That's hardly considered wealthy in the Provincial Capital! But anyway, treating you at a place like this is no problem," Luo Cheng said with a laugh, waving his hand with "humility," though his eyes kept darting towards Liu Jiayao.

Too bad Liu Jiayao just smiled and looked at Ge Dongxu sitting opposite her, paying him no attention, let alone dazzling like the three girls when they heard about the hotel and the four or five million.

Seeing Liu Jiayao's look, which clearly carried a hint of schadenfreude, Ge Dongxu could tell she was probably laughing at him, "You're being looked down upon," and couldn't help but give her a wry look, then said, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite with you."

There was no helping it, Luo Cheng had "humbly" gone that far, and Ge Dongxu, as a multimillionaire, had to give him some face and let him treat this time.

"Of course, there's no need for politeness. You are Su Qian's junior, and I am Su Qian's senior, which makes us all classmates!" Luo Cheng said, patting Ge Dongxu on the shoulder in a very familiar manner.

After that, Luo Cheng called over the waiter and ordered a lot of barbecue ingredients, seemingly trying to flaunt his wealth. Ge Dongxu just gave a noncommittal smile and continued grilling the chicken wings and lamb skewers he had put on the grill earlier.

Watching Ge Dongxu's skilled movements, Su Qian and the other two girls all revealed a look of surprise, while Luo Cheng chatted with Liu Jiayao half-heartedly, trying to draw her attention with subtle boasting.

Unfortunately, what Luo Cheng didn't know was that a woman like Liu Jiayao could hardly be drawn to a shallow man like him—it was simply futile.

"The chicken wings are ready. Ladies first, so Luo Cheng, you'll just have to wait," Ge Dongxu said, not considering a man of Luo Cheng's level as a rival. He didn't pay attention to Luo Cheng's attempts to chat up Liu Jiayao, and seeing the chicken wings were ready, he handed one to Liu Jiayao first, then to Su Qian and the other two girls.

As soon as Liu Jiayao and the others took the chicken wings, a delicious aroma assailed their nostrils, and they looked down at the glistening wings in their hands, which were perfectly cooked without a trace of charring. The enticing color and tempting fragrance were irresistible, and without caring about the scalding heat or feminine restraint, they bit into them.

With that first bite, the girls' eyes immediately brightened. Although they initially took delicate bites, showing only the pearly white of their teeth and maintaining ladylike elegance, they soon abandoned any pretense of delicacy and started tearing in, reminiscent of hearty drinking and feasting.

Of course, even when a beauty like Liu Jiayao tore into her food, there remained a captivating charm.

"How is it?" Ge Dongxu asked with a smile upon seeing their reactions.

He started doing this kind of thing at a very young age, and now with his cultivation progressing rapidly, he had become exceptionally skilled at controlling the cooking process.

"It's amazing! Dongxu, your family wouldn't happen to run a barbecue restaurant, would they?" It wasn't Liu Jiayao who responded to Ge Dongxu, but the long-legged beauty.

"Yeah, yeah, it's really delicious. Your family really doesn't run a barbecue restaurant?" Another girl with a round face nodded eagerly in agreement.

"Giggle, Minru, you might have guessed a bit right. But Dongxu's family doesn't run a barbecue restaurant, they run a rural resort," said Su Qian with a smirk.

She used to walk home from school with Jiang Lili, Dong Yuxin, and Ge Dongxu quite often and thus knew a bit about his family background.

"No wonder the barbecue tastes so good, it turns out that your family runs a rural leisure home." When Luo Cheng saw that the girls were all praising Ge Dongxu's grilling skills, he couldn't help feeling a bit envious. Now that Su Qian mentioned it, a slight look of scorn appeared on his face.

Ge Dongxu just smiled, as if he didn't pick up on the belittling tone in Luo Cheng's words.

His family did indeed run a rural leisure home, and he felt there was nothing wrong with that—it didn't seem inferior to running a hotel to him.

At this moment, a waiter brought over what Luo Cheng had ordered.

Luo Cheng then grabbed a handful of lamb skewers and chicken wings and handed them to Ge Dongxu, saying with a smile, "Dongxu, the capable should do more. The grilling task is all yours; we're responsible for eating and drinking."

There wasn't anything wrong with that in itself, but Luo Cheng's tone sounded condescending, which caused Liu Jiayao's brows to furrow slightly, showing a bit of displeasure.

"No problem." Ge Dongxu didn't seem to find anything wrong with it, and smiled as he collected the lamb skewers that were just ready, placed them on a plate, then took the skewers and chicken wings from Luo Cheng and said, "The lamb skewers are ready too. You guys eat; I'll keep grilling over here."

Seeing Ge Dongxu busily enjoying himself, a hint of disdain flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes. He then picked up two skewers of lamb and, smiling, offered them to Liu Jiayao, "Sister Liu, try Dongxu's cooking."

"Hey, senior Luo, you're biased, aren't you? You see Sister Liu, a great beauty, and forget about us juniors," Lin Minru, the long-legged beauty, immediately pouted.

"Yeah, exactly!" The round-faced girl and Su Qian also joined in protest.

Luo Cheng, flattered by the protests of the three girls, hurriedly grabbed a handful of lamb skewers and passed them to each of them, then deliberately turned to Liu Jiayao and said, "Sister Liu, they just love making a fuss; don't take it to heart."

Liu Jiayao just smiled noncommittally and then offered her skewer of lamb to Ge Dongxu.

"I'm busy, you eat first." Although Ge Dongxu didn't take Luo Cheng seriously, he felt a slight warmth in his heart seeing Liu Jiayao ignoring him and deliberately offering the skewer to him. His hands kept turning the meat on the grill while he smiled back at her.

"Your hands might be busy, but is your mouth too? Come on, open your mouth," Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu a look with her charming eyes, pretending to be annoyed. Her cheeks were flushed a lovely shade of red from the firelight, making her look particularly enticing.

Ge Dongxu, charmed by Liu Jiayao's coquettish demeanor, swayed a bit and moved his mouth towards the skewer, biting off a piece.

"The taste is quite good," Ge Dongxu said while chewing on the skewer of lamb.

"You really have no shame, who compliments their own cooking?" Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu a look.

"I'm just being honest," Ge Dongxu laughed.

"Eat your skewer!" Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu another look and held the skewer up to his mouth.

Ge Dongxu laughed, then bit off the rest of the lamb skewer.

"Beer or orange juice?" Liu Jiayao put down the stick and asked.

"Beer, it's more invigorating," Ge Dongxu replied.

So Liu Jiayao poured a cup of beer for Ge Dongxu and then held it up to his mouth for him to drink.
