Not only that, Mr. White enjoyed queuing up early in the morning to buy discounted fruits in the supermarket, purchasing several pounds at a time, and all of his other daily necessities were close-to-expiry products.
Liam Webster had never seen such a stingy person before.
Fortunately, although Mr. White was stingy, he was decent. He made sure to attend every dorm party on time and would pay his fair share. If anyone treated him to a meal, he would definitely return the favor.
However, out of consideration for him, they always chose street diners whenever they treated him.
Why are people stingy?
It all boils down to one word.
Poor.
If one were truly wealthy, they wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.
Therefore, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Mr. White's stinginess must be due to his impoverished background.
How could a poor family possibly own three luxury cars at the same time!
“Mr. White, when did you start behaving like this?” Liam Webster patted Mr. White on the shoulder.
“Like what?” Mr. White asked.
Liam continued: “Although you were a bit stingy before, at least you didn't boast. Now, you seem to boast about everything! I'm embarrassed for you!”
They were very close in the past. Despite losing contact with each other over the years, they didn't feel like strangers when they met again.
Mr. White turned his head toward Liam, and seriously said, “I wasn't boasting.”
“Not boasting?” Liam continued, “Do you really own three luxury cars?”
“Mmm.” Mr. White nodded.
Liam laughed, saying, “Those must be rented from a car rental company.”
Yet, renting such luxury cars would still cost a fortune.
Even if Mr. White could afford to rent them, he might not be willing to spend the money.
Combining all these habits, it's clear that Mr. White must be boasting.
Mr. White opened the car door, sat down in the driver's seat, and said, “My cars are indeed from a rental company, but I am not the one who rents them.”
“Then what are you?” Liam buckled his seatbelt, curiously asking.
“The owner.” Mr. White said each word distinctly.
Liam laughed again, before saying, “Alright, alright, let's not boast anymore. Get going, you leave the garage first, and I'll set up the navigation for you.”
Mr. White started driving off.
Soon, the car left the underground garage, and Liam set up the navigation.
The destination wasn't far, about ten kilometers, and they arrived within a few minutes.
Juster Restaurant.
As Liam got out of the car, he introduced with a smile, “Don't underestimate this small restaurant, it's where the most authentic local cuisine is served. You must taste everything today.”
“Okay.” Mr. White nodded slightly.
The two entered the restaurant one after the other.
Liam handed the menu to Mr. White, generously saying, “Order whatever you want.”
Mr. White chose two dishes and returned the menu to Liam.
Liam added one more dish, a soup, and a dessert.
The two, who hadn't seen each other for many years, enjoyed their conversation immensely.
Liam took a sip of tea and asked, “Mr. White, Have you kept in touch with any of our other classmates over the years?”
“Not really.” Mr. White replied and then asked, “What about you?”
“I occasionally still keep in touch with Li Yang.”
Mr. White nodded.
Just then, Norma Augus and her mother walked into the restaurant arm in arm.
As soon as she entered, Norma spotted Mr. White chatting with someone at a table.
She was taken aback.
How did Mr. White know she was here?
Had he pre-investigated her whereabouts?
If not, how else could Mr. White have arrived before her?
Her heart pounded wildly, as if it was going to leap out of her chest.
“Mom, wait a moment, I see a familiar face,” Norma stopped and whispered, “I'll just go say hi.”
Phoebe Perryne, her mother, asked curiously, “Who?”
Norma didn't explain much, “You go ahead and order, I'll join you shortly.”
“Okay.” Phoebe nodded, not asking further.
Norma walked toward Mr. White.
She knew.
Once was enough for pretending not to see him.
After all, Mr. White had followed her all the way here, and if she pretended not to notice him again, he would likely see her as haughty.
With a polite smile on her face, Norma approached Mr. White, and in a gentle tone, said, “Mr. White, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here.”
Hearing Norma's voice, Mr. White was slightly taken aback before he slowly raised his head and replied politely, “Miss Augus.”
