Chapter 1346 - 1348
Looking at the menu, Gong Ruini unabashedly ordered steak and foie gras.
"How about caviar?" Zhao Xuran had heard of this dish, mainly because of its high price.
Zhao Guangran would recommend Zhao Xuran to come here to eat, of course, because he had been here before, "It’s delicious, let’s have five servings."
Big brother is on point, you always have to be this on point, Zhao Guangran’s heart was absolutely blooming with happiness.
"The desserts here are pretty good, the macarons are nice." Zhao Guangran recommended dishes to match each person’s taste one by one.
Every time Zhao Guangran mentioned a dish, Gong Ruini habitually glanced at the price.
According to Zhao Guangran, the food here is good, but what Gong Ruini really wanted to say was that Franklin is quite good too.
Maybe Zhao Guangran was genuinely recommending the food, but there’s a bit of a thought to squeeze Zhao Xuran dry.
Gong Ruini really wanted to know how Zhao Guangran’s expression would look when he realized he had to foot the bill.
Later, he might be so mad he’ll spit blood, "By the way, after the meal, let’s go to the supermarket, there’s nothing to eat at home."
"Any snacks left?"
"Okay." Of course, Zhao Guangran had no objection, today’s the day to make big brother pay big time, as a younger brother, he should really show some flair.
Zhao Xuran looked at the honest look on Zhao Guangran’s face at the moment and didn’t say anything, "By the way, when I came out, I heard you all discussing something, what was it about?"
"Ah, that." Zhao Guangran originally thought that Zhao Xuran wouldn’t have overheard their conversation when he came out, thinking it was just Dai Limin coming back with the drinks and seeing Zhao Xuran out there.
Is this a trick? Yes, it must be, don’t panic.
"I was discussing tomorrow’s matters with Jiaming." Zhao Guangran said solemnly.
Seeing Zhao Guangran’s earnest face, Gong Jiaming absolutely admired him, but felt there was really no need to follow Zhao Guangran’s lead.
Gong Jiaming kept his head down, not looking at anyone, and ate the little snacks that were served, "Hmm."
Fortunately, that kid Gong Jiaming helped him out, Zhao Guangran was genuinely a bit worried, in case that kid Gong Jiaming gets stubborn.
Didn’t expect this kid’s performance this time to be so good, not bad, not bad, he’s a promising kid.
Zhao Guangran’s facial changes were all seen by Zhao Xuran, this kid doesn’t actually think there’s nothing going on, does he?
Zhao Xuran smirked and changed the topic, allowing Zhao Guangran, who thought the questioning would continue, to breathe a sigh of relief.
Nervous as he was, Zhao Guangran didn’t notice Zhao Xuran’s sly smile, otherwise, his heart wouldn’t settle down so early.
Gong Jiaming kept his head down, eating non-stop, not raising his head to look at Zhao Xuran, but his animal instincts told him, this matter isn’t going to end so easily.
Since this was clearly directed at Zhao Guangran, Gong Jiaming decided not to participate, with his level of intelligence, he couldn’t deal with Zhao Xuran.
More importantly, lest inattention leads to sparring with Zhao Guangran, making the situation worse.
Dai Limin, sitting on the sideline, would surely notice Zhao Xuran’s gaze, especially while keeping an eye on him, of course, he couldn’t miss this.
He glanced over at an unsuspecting Zhao Guangran, and Dai Limin lowered his head to eat.
Although tomorrow might be quite a painful day, maybe Zhao Guangran would be dragged out for a key lesson or two.
But those are matters for tomorrow, what he needs to do now is enjoy the good food and later pretend he didn’t see Zhao Xuran make a move.
The matters between brothers aren’t for an outsider to intervene in, nor did he see Gong Jiaming expending effort to keep Zhao Guangran from noticing.
Gong Ruini spoke little throughout, especially avoiding looking at Zhao Guangran, afraid of seeing that "I know everything" look.
Even though what Zhao Guangran said how does it matter, Gong Ruini really wasn’t used to discussing these things in front of many people.
Thus at the table, it was mostly Zhao Guangran and Zhao Xuran who were engrossed in conversation.
Normally, Zhao Guangran would have sensed something was off, how come none of them were speaking up?
Zhao Xuran scanned the room, noticing the desserts they ordered were finished, "It’s almost done, let’s go to the supermarket."
Zhao Guangran just waited for big brother to say something like this, until the bill is settled, anything is possible.
Zhao Guangran felt it necessary to say some words of thanks to big brother.
Zhao Xuran turned to look at an excited Zhao Guangran, "Did you bring enough money?"
What, big brother actually asked if I had money, what does that mean, "Big brother, didn’t you bring enough money?"
Well, there were originally just two of them for dinner, now suddenly adding three more people, all men, of course, they would eat more, plus under Zhao Guangran’s guidance, the ordered dishes were also expensive.
"I have money." Even if someone invites you out, you must carry money, just for cases like this awkward situation.
"That’s good, thank you Guangran for your hospitality."
"Thank you, Guangran." Gong Ruini raised her head and beamed at Zhao Guangran.
"Thanks to you, we really ate a lot of delicious food." Gong Ruini was reminiscing with a satisfied expression.
"Just don’t know if there’ll be a chance to eat here again in the future." Gong Ruini looked expectant.
"Oh, there will be, Guangran will treat." Zhao Xuran hated seeing his wife aggrieved, activated his good boyfriend mode swiftly.
Hahaha, see, he knew it would end like this.
Dai Limin didn’t dare look up, otherwise, he couldn’t suppress his grin.
But Zhao Xuran’s crew indeed struck hard, looking at Zhao Guangran eating earlier, it was quite delightful, even wishing to sing loudly in thanks for Zhao Xuran’s hosting.
"How is it me?" Zhao Guangran was dumbfounded, how could it be him treating?
"Brother, didn’t you say you’d treat sister-in-law to a good meal?" Zhao Guangran’s heart bled, he hadn’t calculated the bill, but it certainly wasn’t cheap.
"I said that, but it was supposed to just be Ni Zi and me." Zhao Xuran also felt wronged.
"Didn’t expect you to join too, I didn’t want to say, didn’t feel right making you pay." Zhao Xuran worked hard to hold back his laughter.
Ah, no way, "Aren’t you supposed to say you’ll pay the bill?"
"Ni Zi, look at my brother, he’s being really stingy, a man should be more generous, otherwise, he’ll have no face going out." Zhao Guangran dared not confront Zhao Xuran.
The fact is this big brother’s mouth is not one he can deal with, better change to face Gong Ruini.
No face going out? Gong Ruini shook her head under Zhao Guangran’s various hopeful glances, "What’s face?"
"Can face be eaten?"
"Your brother has a family to support, he needs to be thrifty, but Guangran, you’re different, you fill your own belly and everyone else isn’t hungry."
"Living should be thrifty like this, otherwise, how to carry on, lots of things will need money in the future to know." Gong Ruini wore a "I’m really stingy and hate to spend more" expression.
How outrageous, such a person exists, Zhao Guangran wanted to forcibly make Zhao Xuran pay.
"Guangran, I remember you once made a big mistake, you said you would pay for all this." Zhao Xuran coldly remarked on the side.
This matter had never been implemented, and who knows, perhaps Zhao Guangran had already forgotten.
No way, could he have been this foolish? Did he really agree to that?
Zhao Guangran wanted to continue playing dumb, but unfortunately, in front of Zhao Xuran, he really didn’t dare, sigh, it’s just footing the bill.
We’re not short of money, we’ve got plenty, Zhao Guangran feigned nonchalance, though his heart was bleeding as he settled the bill.
"Wow, Guangran you’re so handsome, can we come back here again?" It is expensive, but the food was genuinely good.
Come back here to eat? Zhao Guangran really felt like spitting blood, "We’ll see."
"When I make more money, we’ll talk about it." Just take it as treating everyone to decent meals, as everyone’s been working hard lately.
