Chapter 106 Expensive Dinner

I didn't expect the situation in Jiangcheng to be so chaotic. Si Qingchen's face darkened and he said in a deep voice.

"Brother, you have to help me no matter what. I can't just stand by and watch Ruoxi being bullied!"

Si Qingji frowned, "Do you know that helping you with this might get me into trouble?"

Si Qingchen begged, "Brother, I beg you. You are the most outstanding and cunning person in our family. I believe you will find a way."

Si Qingji looked at his stupid brother in confusion, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the other party was praising him or scolding him.

He asked, "Do you like her so much?"

Is it because the other person is too charming or is it just that his innocent brother is just letting himself be used by others?

Si Qingchen secretly rolled his eyes, "Brother, isn't what you said nonsense? Can I be friends with her if I don't like her?"

Si Qingji resisted the urge to hit his brother, and tapped the table with his slender bamboo fingers, "That's not what I'm talking about."

Si Qingchen was confused, "Then what are you talking about?"

Looking at his brother with innocent eyes, the words that Si Qingji wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

My younger brother has always been well protected by his family, so he shouldn't be so weird as to like someone else's wife.

He shook his head. "Forget it. Let's talk about your friend. I need to meet her to confirm whether I want to help her. I'm free the day after tomorrow afternoon. I won't wait for you after that time."

Si Qingchen couldn't help laughing, stood up straight and saluted, "I will bring Ruoxi to you the day after tomorrow afternoon."

Si Qingji lowered his head and picked up the document. "Go out, I still have things to deal with."

"Okay, I'll be out now."

When walking out, he casually took the delicious pastries on the table.

I plan to try it to see if it tastes good, and bring some to Meng Ruoxi next time I see her.

Seeing this scene out of the corner of his eye, Si Qingji couldn't help but curl his lips and smile.

What a child.

The next afternoon after school, Meng Ruoxi told Lao Hei, who was guarding the school gate, that she was going to have dinner with her classmates and could not go to see the man.

Lao Hei's face instantly turned bitter and full of hatred, as if his parents had died, "Madam, if you don't go, the master will be angry, and Master Wen Jing is here too."

The most important thing is that an angry husband will be angry with himself instead of his wife, and Master Wen Jing will be unwilling to go to school because he cannot see his wife.

This morning, Master Wen Jing said that he wanted his wife to accompany him to school, otherwise he would not go to school.

Alas, it is so pitiful that I have to struggle to survive between this couple every day.

Meng Ruoxi turned a deaf ear and left.

After meeting up with a few roommates, I took them to a foreign restaurant with some high-end decoration.

We sat down at a window seat and a waiter immediately brought the menu and asked us to order.

Maggie Chan took the menu and looked confused.

I can't understand all the English names above.

Several other people were in the same situation.

Seeing this, Meng Ruoxi calmly took the menu and asked a few people, "What do you like to eat, or what do you avoid eating?"

I forgot to ask a few people which restaurant they wanted to go to for dinner, which led to the awkward situation. I made a mental note and started looking through the menu.

Zhang Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky about food and there's nothing I need to avoid."

Ouyang Mingzhu smiled coquettishly and said, "I am very healthy and can eat anything. If possible, ask the waiter to bring me a drink. I am a little thirsty."

He cleared his throat and it was obvious that he was really thirsty.

Meng Ruoxi nodded, "Okay." Then she asked the others, "What about you?"

Chen Meiqi waved her hands and said, "I'm not picky about food, just watch me."

Xia Zhenzhen said, "I want a drink like Mingzhu."

Lee Su-mi said with a smile, "Food makes people happy. As long as it is edible, I am happy."

Lan Yuntian said shyly, "I can do either."

Meng Ruoxi nodded and wrote down everything. After marking the menu with a pen, she handed the menu to the waiter waiting on the side.

While we were waiting for the food, the waiter brought us the drinks first.

Meng Ruoxi did not order drinks only for Ouyang Mingzhu and Xia Zhenzhen, but ordered a drink for everyone.

When I saw everyone drinking their drinks with gusto, I knew I had done nothing wrong.

Some people are shy, and just because they don’t say they want something doesn’t mean they don’t want it.

Since Meng Ruoxi was inviting her roommates to dinner, she wanted to make it perfect.

Plate after plate of exquisite food were placed on the table, more than a dozen in total.

Although it looks like a lot, the portion is quite small, and it is more than enough for six people to finish these dishes.

Several people picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

This foreign restaurant does not only serve foreign food, it also has a lot of Chinese food.

Most of the dishes Meng Ruoxi ordered were Chinese rather than foreign food, for she was afraid that people might not be used to them.

The few of them ate leisurely, and only put down their chopsticks half an hour later, then stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Although this meal did not require meal tickets, it still cost Meng Ruoxi more than 80 yuan, which is two months' salary for an ordinary worker.

After eating and drinking, a few people went out for a stroll. Li Xiumei suggested going to the department store.

Although Meng Ruoxi really wanted to go back to school to continue practicing the dance for the performance, she didn't want to dampen everyone's enthusiasm when she saw how enthusiastic they were.

Helplessly, I followed everyone towards the department store.

I decided in my heart that next time no matter what, I would never go out with these people.

I accompanied a few people around for almost an hour before returning to school.

Si Qingchen was waiting downstairs in the dormitory, feeling a little anxious.

The dormitory manager said Ruoxi went out. It’s been almost two hours. Why hasn’t she come back yet?

My cousin will see Ruoxi tomorrow. If I can't bring Ruoxi over on time, I'm afraid my cousin won't help me.

Maggie Chen asked, "Ruoxi, that dress just now suits you very well, why don't you buy it?"

Meng Ruoxi shook her head, "I don't like it."

When he raised his eyes, he saw Si Qingchen squatting at the door of the dormitory. He stopped and said to his roommates, "I have something else to do. You go up first."

A few people agreed and went to the dormitory.

When they passed Si Qingchen, their pace was obviously much slower.

Meng Ruoxi waited until a few others went up before walking towards Si Qingchen.

Si Qingchen had already seen Meng Ruoxi, but his feet were numb from squatting for too long. He raised his hands and pointed at his legs, indicating that he could not get up for the time being.

When she arrived in front of Si Qingchen, Meng Ruoxi lowered her eyes and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Si Qingchen looked at the students who occasionally passed by and said mysteriously, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go talk somewhere else."

Meng Ruoxi looked around and said, "Okay."

After a while, the two walked out of the dormitory building and headed towards the playground.

As the number of people around him gradually decreased, Si Qingchen stopped hiding it and said, "My cousin wants to see you."

"See me?" Meng Ruoxi was puzzled.

"Yes." Si Qingchen nodded. "Your husband's situation seems to be complicated. My cousin said he needs to meet you before he can decide whether to help you or not."

Meng Ruoxi frowned, "It's not simple? Is it troublesome to just get a divorce?"
