Since we're already sitting here, we can't leave.
Ji Tong handed the menu to Xiao Lu, "Are you hungry? Let's eat and chat."
"Okay." Xiao Lu took the menu and simply ordered a pasta dish.
Ji Tong's family is well-off and he had never been to a restaurant of this level before. He glanced at the prices on the menu and found that each dish was basically priced at ten or twenty yuan. He really didn't know what to order, so he ordered the same pasta as Xiao Lu.
Xu Wan also just ordered a pizza.
The food was served quickly.
Ji Tong briefly explained her situation again.
Xiao Lu knew that Ji Tong was the legal counsel for Tianwei Group, and she couldn't hide her surprise: "Sister, you're so outstanding and beautiful, you must have a lot of suitors, right? How come you're still single and being forced to go on blind dates by your family?"
"Sigh!" Ji Tong sighed heavily. "I don't seem to have much luck with men. Basically, no one pursues me."
"Really?" Xiaolu's eyes were filled with inquiry. "Sister, you've never had a boyfriend?"
"No... I had a crush on someone when I was in school, but I never dated. I think I should find someone to tell my fortune someday to see if I'm one of those 'cursed lone stars' destined to live a lonely life."
Ji Tong became more and more depressed as he spoke.
Her voice was loud, and Gong Yanli, who was not far away, also heard it.
Xiao Lu's expression subtly changed as she listened to Ji Tong speak.
After Ji Tong finished speaking, Xiao Lu said, "Sister, I can actually read palms. Do you want me to take a look for you?"
"Huh? You can? Show me, do I still have any hope of getting married in this lifetime?"
Ji Tong seemed completely oblivious to the utterly cheesy tactic, and simply reached out her hand.
Seeing Ji Tong reach out, Xu Wan quickly kicked her lightly with her foot.
Ji Tong realized something and immediately pulled her hand back just as Xiao Lu reached out and their hands were about to touch.
"Forget it, forget it," Ji Tong laughed. "I don't believe in that."
Xu Wan really wanted to pull Ji Tong away quickly, because she was afraid that Ji Tong would lose herself in the constant calls of "sister" from this older boy.
The dishes were served quickly.
During the meal, no one spoke much.
After they had almost finished eating, Xiao Lu asked, "Sister, you've seen my conditions. How much are you planning to pay me if I become your rental boyfriend?"
"Well... your main task is to accompany me to meet my parents, at most once a week, take some photos, and let them think we're really dating." Ji Tong looked Xiao Lu's face up and down and said, "Two thousand each time, how about that? I'll only take up half a day of your time each time."
Xiao Lu glanced at Xu Wan beside her, then looked at Ji Tong and asked in a low voice, "Can I ask you some questions alone, sister?"
It's obvious that they disliked Xu Wan for being a third wheel.
Ji Tong grabbed Xu Wan's arm and said, "It's okay. She's my best friend. Even if she avoids me now, I'll tell her later, so you can just tell her directly."
Xiaolu hesitated for a moment before asking, "May I ask about the details of the meeting?"
"...It's just about meals and such. I might have to eat with my parents and appease them, but that's about it."
Although Ji Tong was a little confused before coming in, he became much more clear-headed after sitting down.
Xiao Lu leaned forward, resting her arms on the table, and lowered her voice, saying, "Don't you need me to provide... any other services?"
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Ji Tong.
Both his tone and his eyes carried a hint.
