Chapter 183: 【183】You are really bad now_1
“Let’s get reacquainted. I’m your wealthy friend, Tang Baiwan. Hello, beautiful,” he said.
“Get lost, cut the crap,” she replied.
Jiang Zi was gradually recovering from the shock, feeling this guy was shrouded in mystery.
Tang Feng stared at her bright smile for a long while before moving away just before she could get angry, “When I asked if you were waiting for your boyfriend earlier, you said yes. So, does that mean you admit I’m your boyfriend?”
Jiang Zi panicked, “I… I was talking nonsense, I thought…”
“You thought I was a rich second generation trying to hit on you? Do you despise rich second generations that much?” Tang Feng asked curiously.
“It’s not that I despise them, but I don’t like the sense of superiority ingrained in them. Even if they mean no harm, I still feel out of place with them,” Jiang Zi answered earnestly, her serious demeanor quite adorable.
“Then I’m a little worried,” Tang Feng furrowed his brows right away.
“Worried about what?” Jiang Zi was puzzled.
“Because there’s a good chance you’ll end up being the mother to a rich second generation,” Tang Feng said with a hint of a smile.
“Why?” Jiang Zi didn’t quite understand.
“Because I’m a first generation rich,” Tang Feng said, winking at her.
Jiang Zi was stunned for a long moment before she finally caught on.
This guy had gone to such lengths just to take advantage of her.
“Tang Feng, you… you’re really becoming terrible,” she said, her pretty face blushing red, irresistibly biteable.
Tang Feng was looking at her intently, his eyes gleaming with a wolf-like green light.
Jiang Zi felt uneasy under his gaze, “Let’s hurry inside, I’ve already made the reservation.”
Having said this, she rushed into the restaurant.
Tang Feng chuckled and followed her in.
The table Jiang Zi had booked was in a conspicuous spot in the first-floor hall.
“You order,” Jiang Zi took the menu from the waiter, glanced at it twice, and passed it to Tang Feng.
“I’m fine with anything, you order,” Tang Feng pushed the menu back to her.
“This meal is mainly to thank you, so you should order,” Jiang Zi insisted earnestly.
“Are you sure you want me to order?” Tang Feng, tired of the back and forth, took up the menu.
“Yeah,” Jiang Zi subconsciously touched her handbag, then finally nodded her head solemnly, as if resigned to her fate.
Tang Feng saw her nervous look and couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile.
He casually ordered a few dishes, which already added up to over three thousand, and then selected a bottle of Château Lafite Rothschild worth about three thousand.
He felt he had been quite restrained, but Jiang Zi looked as if it was physically painful.
Clearly, today’s expenses had exceeded her budget.
“Relax and enjoy the meal, I’ve got this,” Tang Feng handed the menu to the server, then reassured Jiang Zi with a smile.
“No way, I said I would treat you. It’s just six thousand, right? I can afford it,” Jiang Zi was being stubborn, but her hand subconsciously touched her wallet.
Tang Feng couldn’t help but laugh when he noticed her gesture, “You should be earning a decent salary by now, right? Why so stingy?”
Jiang Zi puffed up her cheeks, “That’s not true. My monthly salary isn’t even ten thousand.”
“After deducting rent, utilities, and spending on makeup, clothes, shoes, and bags, there’s not much left.”
“That’s really not enough,” Tang Feng chuckled awkwardly.
He had seen it at Jiang Zi’s place; her cosmetics were all high-end brands. Just one little bottle could cost a few hundred to a few thousand.
A salary of ten thousand indeed wasn’t much.
Add a zero to the end and that’s more like it.
“By the way, at work today, Mr. Qian didn’t give you a hard time, did he?” He suddenly thought of Mr. Qian from yesterday.
Although he had already warned him, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t make things difficult for Jiang Zi again.
“Not at all. Not only did he not give me any trouble, but he was also very polite to me. I used to do a lot of menial tasks like serving tea and water, but today he absolutely refused to let me do any of it.” Jiang Zi looked at him gratefully. She knew that Mr. Qian was so courteous to her surely because Tang Feng had warned him.
Having such a man to protect her gave her a great sense of security.
At that moment, the waiter happened to bring up the dishes.
The two chatted idly as they ate.
With Tang Feng’s jests and jokes, Jiang Zi occasionally let out bell-like laughter.
Many of the men dining in the restaurant frequently glanced over in their direction.
Without a doubt, Tang Feng had once again become the public enemy of men.
At first, he wasn’t quite used to those envious stares.
But as he got to interact more with beauties like Qin Yanan, Xu Xinling, and Jiang Zi, he gradually became accustomed to those hostile glances.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
If you want to woo beauties, you must endure the envy.
He was already mentally prepared for it.
Just as they were laughing and talking, a woman’s voice suddenly came from behind them.
“Jiang Zi? Is that really you?”
They turned their heads and saw a woman, dressed very glamorously, striding towards them.
Jiang Zi, upon seeing the woman, looked slightly embarrassed but still got up to greet her.
“Lingling, what are you doing here?”
“I’m here for dinner with friends; I didn’t expect to bump into you here.”
The woman approached with enthusiasm, casting a glance at Tang Feng as well.
Tang Feng couldn’t help wondering if it was his imagination or if there was a hint of hostility in the woman’s gaze.
Could it be that this woman was interested in Jiang Zi?
Impossible, right?
“Jiang Zi, who is this handsome guy?” The woman withdrew her gaze from Tang Feng and looked at Jiang Zi with curiosity.
Jiang Zi, out of options, proceeded with the introductions, “Let me introduce you. This is my colleague Huo Lingling, and this is my… classmate, Tang Feng.”
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
Out of politeness, Tang Feng shook hands with Huo Lingling.
He thought she would leave after a quick greeting.
However, they were clearly mistaken.
Instead of leaving, Huo Lingling sat down right beside Jiang Zi. “My friends haven’t arrived yet, you don’t mind if I sit here for a while, do you?”
“Oh, not at all, not at all.”
Jiang Zi could only offer an awkward smile and cast an apologetic glance at Tang Feng.
Tang Feng didn’t really mind, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that this woman wouldn’t just sit there quietly.
She was bound to stir up some trouble.
