Chapter 9 Luckily, my son didn't become a jerk like me.
"Huihui, where should we eat?" Hu Ke asked.
As she said this, she deliberately glanced at Jiang Sifan.
Huang Hui hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Sifan then suggested, "How about we go..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huang Hui interrupted, "Kaylin, which restaurant did you eat at with your boyfriend before? Why don't you take us there?"
After hearing this, Chen Kailin explained, "We're going to the newly opened Japanese restaurant near the school gate."
"Is that Japanese restaurant good?" Hu Ke asked excitedly. "I haven't eaten at a Japanese restaurant in ages!"
"That place is a bit pricey, maybe...we should go to another one," Chen Kailin kindly suggested.
After all, since Huang Hui's boyfriend was treating her, she naturally couldn't push her luck.
But Hu Ke didn't care about that. She said excitedly, "It's okay, we don't eat there every day. Huihui, why don't we go eat there?"
Huang Hui then looked at Jiang Sifan and asked, "Sifan, what do you think?"
Jiang Sifan was now in an awkward position.
After all, that Japanese restaurant was so big, and he had heard from his roommate that it was a bit expensive. But looking at Huang Hui's expectant eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go to that one then."
"Great, Huihui, I knew your boyfriend would be very generous." Hu Ke immediately pulled Chen Kailin and Huang Hui towards the Japanese restaurant.
Jiang Sifan looked at the 400 yuan in her WeChat wallet and thought that a Japanese meal shouldn't cost that much.
If all else fails, I can just work harder later and earn back the money I earned from the part-time job.
He was naturally embarrassed to ask Jiang Yixia for money, after all, Jiang Sifan also understood that his mother had suffered a lot for him and his sister over the years.
Now that he is an adult, he should no longer ask his mother for money, both morally and logically.
Although spending 400 yuan on a meal is indeed a bit extravagant, Huang Hui is the girl he loves most, and he has already decided that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
As long as she's happy.
Jiang Sifan always believed that a man should be focused, and that's what makes a good man.
He thought about how his irresponsible father had hurt his mother because of his philandering, which was why Jiang Yixia had suffered so much all these years.
He absolutely cannot make such a mistake!
The four of them arrived at the Japanese restaurant, and as soon as they sat down, Hu Ke couldn't wait to ask the waiter to bring out the menu.
"Kaylin, what did you and your boyfriend eat? Quickly recommend something!" Hu Ke called out.
Grace Chan then recommended one or two sushi dishes, explaining, "These sushi dishes are all quite delicious."
"Did you eat the sashimi? I think this sashimi is quite good," Hu Ke asked curiously.
At this moment, the waiter reminded them, "This sashimi is our restaurant's signature dish; almost every customer orders it."
Hearing this, Grace Chan felt a little embarrassed.
She certainly wouldn't lie; she had indeed eaten this sashimi before, but it was rather expensive.
So he kindly said, "I was afraid you wouldn't be used to the food, so I didn't make any recommendations."
"How could that be?" Hu Ke took the initiative. "Then let's just order this one, okay?"
As she said this, she looked at Huang Hui, completely disregarding Jiang Sifan, who was supposed to treat everyone.
Huang Hui had never eaten such expensive sashimi before, and judging from the picture, it looked especially suitable for taking photos and posting on social media.
So she looked at Jiang Sifan and said, "Sifan, shall we order this and try it?"
"OK."
Jiang Sifan looked at the sashimi worth 188, gritted his teeth and nodded.
After ordering, the waiter took the menu away.
The three girls were taking pictures while the food was being served.
Huang Hui also took selfies with her roommates, preparing to edit the caption for her WeChat Moments.
Just then, Hu Ke asked curiously, "Huihui, why don't you take a picture with your boyfriend? Aren't you going to post a picture of the two of you together?"
Huang Hui smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Sifan doesn't like being on camera, so it's okay."
Jiang Sifan listened from the side, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Because Huang Hui never asked him whether he wanted to post it on his WeChat Moments.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, girls' social media posts are mostly pictures of delicious food and exquisite photos.
It does seem a bit out of place for a grown man like him to appear in these photo collections.
During this time, Lu Fan sat diagonally opposite, observing the situation at Jiang Sifan's table.
Bodyguard Chen He remarked with some admiration, "The young master is indeed impressive; he actually managed to dine with three girls. He's incredibly charming."
But Jiali noticed something different.
It's obvious that one of them is the girl Jiang Sifan cares about, while the other two are just freeloaders.
Moreover, the dishes they ordered exceeded their usual spending level.
Lu Fan was naturally aware of this as well.
After all, he's been a scumbag for almost 20 years, how could he not understand these tricks?
Looking at Jiang Sifan, who had a simple and earnest face, he felt a little emotional.
Fortunately, his son doesn't have the same personality as those scumbags.
Being a scumbag is no good.
Not only do they have to keep track of time, but they also have to weave all sorts of lies.
Being a jerk is exhausting.
If he could do it all over again, Lu Fan would definitely not be a scumbag.
In the end, women are all the same.
They all have two eyes and a mouth, not much different from men, except that some features are more prominent.
Now, Jiang Sifan has grown into a handsome young man, and he really does look a bit like himself when he was young.
Lu Fan felt increasingly gratified as he looked at the photos.
Soon, Jiang Sifan and his group finished their meal.
Hu Ke also took out her phone and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), naturally not mentioning the matter of paying the bill.
At this point, Grace Chan suggested, "Huihui, how about we split the bill among the four of us for this meal?"
Huang Hui naturally wouldn't agree to this. If they really split the bill, how could he stay in the dorm?
When she thought about how generous Grace Chan's boyfriend was, she knew her own boyfriend couldn't be outdone.
So Huang Hui shook her head and said, "It's okay. Sifan said he'd treat you. If we still split the bill, he'll get angry, right, Sifan?"
After speaking, Huang Hui glanced at Jiang Sifan.
Jiang Sifan could only nod: "It's alright, I'll treat everyone to this meal. I hope you'll all take good care of Huihui in the future."
"Thank you so much, handsome! Don't worry, Huihui is the darling of our dorm~ We'll definitely take good care of him," Hu Ke said.
Jiang Sifan immediately stood up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.
"Hello, the total is 676."
Jiang Sifan was somewhat shocked when she heard the price quoted by the waiter.
This meal actually cost nearly 700 yuan?!
But the problem is, he didn't eat much!
It's not even as good as the spicy hot pot at the school's food street!
Right now, he only has 400 yuan in his WeChat wallet, which isn't enough to cover the cost of the meal.
Of course, if he asks Jiang Yixia for it, he will be able to get it easily.
But his pride prevented him from doing so.
Jiang Sifan couldn't bring himself to ask his parents to pay for his girlfriend's dinner.
After much deliberation, he had no choice but to go find Jiang Silu.
So he sent Jiang Silu a message: "Silu, do you have money on WeChat? Could you transfer me 300 yuan?"
After sending the message, Jiang Sifan looked at the waiter awkwardly and said, "Excuse me, wait a moment, I'm out of money in my WeChat account. I'll have someone transfer some to me."
Just then, Lu Fan walked over.
