Chapter 59 They're not even going to act anymore.

Jiang Ronghai had ordered the dishes in advance, and as soon as they were seated, the waiter brought in the cold dishes to serve.

"Waiter, bring me the menu again." Jiang Ronghai waved to the waiter.

After receiving the menu, he handed it to Zhou Chong beside him, "Here, Zhou Chong, take a look, what other dishes would you like to add?"

"No need, Uncle," Zhou Chong said politely.

"Let's add two more dishes. I originally ordered for three people, but I was worried it wouldn't be enough," Jiang Ronghai said with an embarrassed smile.

“Yes, Zhou Chong, order two more of your favorite dishes,” Shan Tong chimed in.

“Okay.” Zhou Chong did not refuse again, took the menu, and told the waiter the names of two dishes.

"These two dishes have already been ordered and will be served shortly," the waiter kindly reminded them.

“Yes, Wanwan loves these two dishes too, I’ve already ordered them.” Jiang Ronghai nodded as well, “Let’s order two more dishes.”

Zhou Chong looked down at the menu and pointed to two more dishes, but the waiter said they had already been ordered.

He flipped through a few more pages and rattled off several dishes, but the waiter said they had already been ordered.

"Uncle, you've already ordered all the dishes I wanted." Zhou Chong closed the menu in his hand and politely handed it back.

"Is there really nothing else you like to eat?" Jiang Ronghai took the menu and muttered to himself, "What a coincidence, all the dishes I want to order are Wanwan's favorites."

Dan Tong chuckled, "What a coincidence! It seems Zhou Chong's tastes are quite similar to ours."

They are truly a family destined by fate.

She held back from saying the second half of that sentence.

Jiang Ronghai could only flip through the menu again and add a sweet and sour pork, a crab roe tofu, and a golden sand corn pancake.

In his opinion, this should be a flavor that children would prefer.

While waiting for the food to be served, Jiang Wan took out her phone from her pocket, placed it under the table, and sent a QQ message to Zhou Chong.

[Late Night Not Late: How come I never noticed before? Your tastes are so similar to mine; the dishes you want to order are all my favorites.]

Zhou Chong's phone vibrated. He glanced at Jiang's parents on the table, who were busy wiping their hands with wet wipes and weren't looking in his direction. He then took out his phone.

Seeing that it was a message from Jiang Wan, he looked up slightly and glanced at the person on his left out of the corner of his eye.

Jiang Wan had already turned off her phone, held it in her hand, tilted her head and waved it at him, indicating that he should reply to her message.

They were sitting together, but they still wanted to chat on QQ.

Zhou Chong lowered his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and tapped the screen a few times with his finger.

Z: Yeah, the taste is indeed very similar.

After replying to the message, he looked up and suddenly noticed that Shan Tong and Jiang Ronghai, who had been wiping their hands with their heads down, had both raised their heads and were looking in his direction.

He immediately put his phone away, placed it face down on the table, and nodded to the two of them.

Dan Tong was taken aback, then smiled and looked away, turning her head to exchange a glance with her husband beside her.

If she wasn't mistaken, the gray rabbit hanging on Zhou Chong's phone and the white rabbit hanging on Jiang Wan's phone should be the same model.

No, perhaps it should be called... a couple's set?

Jiang Ronghai sensed a strong implication in Shan Tong's eyes.

He coughed lightly, lowered his head, picked up a pair of serving chopsticks, and placed a piece of fish into Shan Tong's bowl. "Wife, let's eat first, ah, let's eat."

"You guys eat too." Jiang Ronghai took back the serving chopsticks and put them on the chopstick rest. "Wanwan, let me get some food for your tablemates. They must be starving. Hurry up and eat."

"Okay, Dad."

Jiang Wan smiled and picked up the serving chopsticks. She looked around at the dishes on the table, then picked up a butterfly shrimp and put it in Zhou Chong's bowl. "Try this. I think it's delicious. See if you like it."

"Thank you, I can do it myself."

Zhou Chong took the serving chopsticks and, in return, picked up a butterfly shrimp for Jiang Wan.

Sitting opposite, Shan Tong lowered her head and bit into the fish. She looked up at the two of them and stomped hard on Jiang Ronghai's foot under the table.

Look at them, they're not even going to act anymore!

-

Shan Tong and Jiang Ronghai are both people who have seen all kinds of situations. Even if their hearts are churning, they can still maintain a calm smile on the surface.

Zhou Chong was the same.

Therefore, the meal was enjoyed by everyone.

Shan Tong first praised Zhou Chong, praising him for his excellent academic performance, handsome appearance, down-to-earth personality, and politeness to elders. After praising him in every way, she began to inquire about his family situation.

Zhou Chongquan answered all the questions, from which country's embassy his father worked for and how many years he had been there, to which hospital and department his mother worked in and how busy she was.

Jiang Ronghai frantically tried to signal to them, but to no avail.

In the end, he joined their conversation and found himself getting along very well with Zhou Chongyue. They talked about everything from ancient civilizations to modern technology, from price levels to the economic situation, seemingly forgetting for a moment that the other person was just a high school student.

Jiang Wan, unusually, detached herself from the dinner table for a moment, not joining the conversation between the three of them, but simply listening quietly, eating her own meal, and occasionally glancing up at Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong, who was only eighteen years old at the time, already showed signs of what he would become.

She remembered that in her previous life, a few days after her class reunion, it was almost Chinese New Year, which was around this time.

At that time, it was the first time she brought Zhou Chong home to meet her parents, which also served as a New Year's greeting.

When Ms. Shan Tong heard that she was bringing her boyfriend home, she took it very seriously and booked a luxury private room at Yuxing Restaurant, which was the busiest restaurant before the Lunar New Year.

The scene then was quite similar to the one now.

In a similar upscale hotel private room, four people sat around a spacious round table. The woman, preoccupied with her own thoughts, didn't say much, just watched Zhou Chong mediate between her parents.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhou was knowledgeable, talented, well-mannered, and articulate, which made her parents very happy.

The three of them had a very pleasant meal and chatted so much that they wished they could become a family on the spot.

To be honest, Jiang Wan is starting to feel that way too.

But she wasn't annoyed that she couldn't join the conversation; on the contrary, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Look, this is the perfect son-in-law you all envisioned. Your daughter has such good taste; she found the right person so early on.

Unfortunately, no one else present had such foresight.

The three people who were chatting happily treated it as an ordinary dinner party, unaware of the profound meaning behind the meal.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan sighed silently, shook her head, picked up the glass beside her, and took a sip of coconut juice.

Even more unfortunately, she can only drink coconut juice now, instead of red wine.

Otherwise, at least one could have a drink to liven things up and celebrate this joyous family moment alone.
