The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 231

“Oh my god! Mila, look! That scumbag is here!”

“Isn’t he together with Alice? What is he doing outside our class?”

“Pfft! Do you think that this pathetic jerk is interested in our Mila again? Oh my god. I really can’t understand what’s going on in Alice’s mind. Why would she agree to go out with such a pathetic jerk?”

Gerald was waiting outside of Mila’s classroom.

A group of her classmates immediately mocked him.

However, Gerald was already immune to all this, merely asking Mila to go out for a walk with him.

Mila was a little surprised that Gerald would come all the way here to look for her.

She had been waiting for Gerald to call her, but she became extremely disappointed after he did not. Hence, she came to class directly.

Mila agreed to his request immediately.

It was because she trusted Gerald now. In fact, Mila regretted it the moment she slapped Gerald the other day. Deep down inside, she knew he wasn’t that sort of person. As soon as he explained things yesterday, she believed what he said.

Everyone was surprised when the two walked out of the classroom and stepped out of campus.

“Gerald, didn’t I tell you that my eldest cousin has just come back from M country? She has been busy dealing with her business, but her schedule has freed up recently. She had always wanted to meet you!”

“I want you to treat my eldest cousin sister to dinner,” replied Mila.

“Oh, oh, okay then. When?”

Gerald was relieved when he felt that Mila’s anger had subsided. He agreed immediately.

“You don’t have classes in the afternoon, right? Why don’t we have lunch together? My eldest cousin will be busy again in a few days. She will return to M Country after she has completed her work!”

“Alright then!”

And so it was settled.

Gerald started looking for a place to eat.

He didn’t want to head to Mayberry Commercial Street since too many familiar faces would be there.

Besides, it was a little too posh.

After discussing the matter, Gerald decided on a place called the Little Bamboo House.

It was a slightly quiet establishment, and although it wasn’t part of Mayberry Commercial Street, it was still a restaurant developed by the Mayberry Commercial Group.

When it came to earnings, not even three restaurants on Mayberry Commercial Street could compare to the money it raked in.

As soon as he heard this, Gerald quickly booked a room at the restaurant before heading directly there with Mila.

Upon arrival, Gerald realized that the Little Bamboo House wasn’t as grand or as luxurious as he thought it to be.

Instead, it all felt as though they had just entered a small mountain village after a departure from the city. All the rooms in the small building were made out of stone.

Elegant with a touch of simplicity, it looked like a cottage that came out straight from the olden days.

“Here, Sister Cara! This way!”

After a wait that lasted less than half an hour, a beautiful and fashionably dressed girl walked into the restaurant.

Gerald and Mila had been waiting outside, where Mila greeted her in excitement.

“Oh, Mila… who chose this place? Why this restaurant? It looks really outdated!”

The beautiful woman named Cara walked over to them.

She wore a disgusted look on her face as she took off her sunglasses.

“Hello, Cousin Cara. I’m Gerald. I was the one who decided on this restaurant,” Gerald replied with a slight smile.

Cara was very similar to Rita. The two were exceptionally gorgeous, and along with their extraordinary beauty came extraordinary expectations.

Gerald expected her to complain about the restaurant as soon as she arrived.

Haha! Rita, her sister, was just like this too!

Cara wasn’t the least polite, and she started speaking the moment she walked into the room.

“Oh, oh, so you are Gerald. I have always wanted to meet you. I heard my two younger sisters saying how loaded you are, and you even bought a Lamborghini after hitting the jackpot. So why did you bring me to this kind of place then?”

She even raised her hand and covered her nose slightly.

It was so clean here, so how could there possibly be any stench?

Cara got straight to the point.

“Why don’t you tell me how much money you have left from the lottery winnings?” she asked.

Gerald smirked a little.

“Not much. I’ve already spent most of it.”

“Hah! So I guessed it right! You have the typical nouveau riche mentality. It should be alright for those who can keep their wealth, but I believe you may be overdoing it considering the car you just bought!” replied Cara as she shook her head slowly.

Gerald could only nod in reply.

It seemed neither Mila nor Rita had mentioned anything about his identity to their sister.

The two had apparently kept his secret safe.

“So, Gerald, what are your plans for the future?” Cara asked once again.

Gerald could only manage a sloppy reply when posed with such a question.

“I haven’t figured it out yet!”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 232

Cara shook her head in disappointment.

Mila promptly changed topics.

“Sister Cara, didn’t you say a few friends studying and working abroad will be coming to Mayberry City today? Where are they?”

“Oh, yes, they will be here too. I initially planned for us to have lunch together so you both can get to know them too. They are all elites who have been studying abroad… but just look at this lowly place. How could I possibly ask them over?”

“Huh? I believe the restaurant Gerald booked is actually quite good, Sister Cara. Moreover, this place offers board and lodging and we can easily arrange for their accommodation,” replied Mila.

Cara could only whine helplessly. “Hahaha! What? Arrange for them to stay here? Sister, are you trying to embarrass me in front of my friends?”

Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Cara answered her phone in a hurry.

“What? You have already arrived? Ahh? Your brother has already picked you up? Oh, oh, no I have not eaten yet. I am preparing to have lunch with my sister now! This place is called the Little Bamboo House. I think that it will be better for you not to come here. This place looks pretty inferior, so you should go somewhere else to eat instead!”

As she spoke, Cara glanced at Gerald with a look of disgust.

She felt that Gerald was a particularly low person.

“Oh my god! Are you really going to come here?”

Gerald and Mila did not know what they were saying over the phone but it seemed as though Cara’s friend wanted to come over to have a look at this place. Cara was horrified.

She started complaining after hanging up the phone.

“Oh, sister! Look at how you are going to embarrass me today! I pushed a gathering with some of my classmates at noon today just so that I can come and meet you. As a result, just look at what kind of place your boyfriend arranged for us to have lunch at? I was originally planning for Gerald to arrange some accommodation for my friends but just forget it!”

Cara complained silently.

Gerald was a little speechless.

Although the Little Bamboo House looked like a very humble and low-key place, aside from the exceptionally expensive meals at the Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, the meals here were also exceptionally expensive.

The main focus of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment was their scenery, entertainment and dining experience.

As for the Little Bamboo House, it was as the name suggested.

The main focus was an exquisite dining experience in an elegant and vintage environment.

The large bamboo house and the stone walls were used to illustrate this point.

Moreover, the chefs working at this restaurant were all top chefs who specialized in various local cuisines in the country.

However, it seemed as though Cara was rather dissatisfied. If he knew that this would be the case, he would have just arranged for them to go to the Wayfair Mountain Entertainment instead!

At the same time.

A luxury car suddenly arrived.

Cara’s phone also started ringing.

Cara stood up in embarrassment as she said: “They really came here! Well, let’s go out and take a look!”

Cara waved her arm and walked out of the restaurant as she answered the call.

“Lisa! Yara! You are here!”

“Yes, Cara! Oh my, what kind of place is this? It does not look impressive at all!”

Two beautiful women stepped out of the car and greeted Cara at this time.

The woman named Lisa dragged the driver out of the driver’s seat as she tried to introduce a handsome young boy to Cara.

“Cara, this is my brother, Quron! He came all the way to Mayberry City from Willmill, just to pick me up today. He said that he wanted to bring me around Mayberry City!”

“Wow! That’s great. Quron is really handsome too!”

Cara replied as she smiled.

“Hello, Sister Cara. I used to hear my sister gush how beautiful you are, but I really did not believe her at all at that time. However, after seeing you today, I can only say that Sister Cara, you are even more beautiful in person than my sister described you to be!”

Quron said as he smiled and adjusted his suit.

He kept praising Cara for being extremely beautiful.

“By the way, Cara, is this beautiful girl the cousin sister, Mila that you always talked about? She looks about the same age as my younger brother!”

Lisa replied with a smile on her face.

Quron also glanced at Mila at this time. Quron could not take his eyes off Mila as soon as he looked at her. She was simply too beautiful.

“Oh yes! I was also going to introduce my sister to Quron so that the both of them could get to know each other and become friends!”

Cara smiled as she turned around and gestured for Mila to come over and say hello.

At the same time, she suddenly remembered that Mila already had a boyfriend and her ugly boyfriend was standing right next to her now.

Damn it! How could she possibly have forgotten about Gerald?

“Hello, Sister Lisa. This is my boyfriend, Gerald. Gerald wants to treat everyone to a meal today!”

Mila held Gerald’s arms as she introduced him to the people there.

This introduction made Lisa and her brother lose their interest immediately.

So, she already has a boyfriend?

“Hehehe. What can possibly be delicious here? I heard some of my classmates saying that the best place to eat is at Mayberry Commercial Street. There is a nice restaurant named Homeland Kitchen which serves really good food there. Why don’t we go there instead? I will treat everyone to a meal!”

“Homeland Kitchen? I have also heard of that place before! That’s great. Let’s go there then!”

Cara obviously had no objections about the change of location.

The Homeland Kitchen was so much better compared to this place.

However, Gerald could not do anything at all since they were all not interested in this restaurant.

Since they were all willing to go there, all he could do was to follow…

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 233

Gerald and the group of people drove towards the Homeland Kitchen.

Gerald’s Lamborghini did indeed shock everyone at first. However, Cara immediately explained the situation to them.

She spoke about how Gerald spent money without having any planning at all.

This way, the Wade siblings who were initially full of admiration for Gerald also begin to show contempt for him.

They felt that it was really a waste for someone like Gerald to drive such a good car.

Gerald simply smiled indifferently throughout.

Next, it was Quron’s time to show-off.

He called his so-called friends in Mayberry City before he booked a rather decent room in Homeland Kitchen.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
