Lin Yuelan did not refuse Liu Qi's invitation. She said half-jokingly, "young master Liu, I was planning to eat for free. I will not pay even if you invite me to a private room. You should know that eating in a private room is twice as expensive as eating in the main hall of this restaurant. I'm a poor person, so I can't afford it!"
When Liu Qi forbade Lin Jiayin from interacting with her, Lin Yuelan made the decision that her relationship with Liu Qi would be purely business. However, Liu Qi seemed to have considered things and wanted to be her friend. But people often had only one chance!
Therefore, her relationship with Liu Qi would only be strictly business.
Little Twelve was shocked to hear Lin Yuelan. 'Is Miss Lin really planning to eat a free meal? Wasn't she saying that to scare the waiter?'
He really couldn't understand Miss Lin. She was at two extremes when it came to money.
