When Si Mingyu walked into the store, everyone else had already arrived. Lin Wenhui even waved and called out, "Handsome boy, this way."
Shen Kaihang had dressed up for this shopping trip: a Versace hoodie, jeans, and a pair of white Coconuts. Lin Wenhui and Wang Zeting's outfits weren't worth mentioning, but at least they were both neat and tidy. At least Lin Wenhui didn't wear his signature slippers.
As for the girls' outfits, each has its own characteristics, especially Jiang Jiani who is the most eye-catching. She wears a shirt, a skirt, and her height of 1.66 meters is also acceptable, after all, she was once the class beauty.
Wang Yidi looks very ordinary, but she is only 1.74 meters tall, and her legs look even longer when she wears low-heeled boots.
"Would you like something to drink? I'll order it for you." Jiang Jiani stood up and asked.
They arrived early and had already walked around. Now they were taking a break while waiting for Si Mingyu, so each of them had a cup of coffee.
"No need to go through so much trouble, we can just go and eat." Si Mingyu postponed.
"Then let's go."
We booked a table at a Spanish restaurant.
Shen Kaihang proposed it, Wang Zeting didn't object, Lin Wenhui could eat anything, and Si Mingyu was busy in class and didn't respond. As for the girls, they would definitely not be asked to spend money, so naturally there would be no objection.
Jiang Jiani suggested that everyone drink some wine, as the fruit wine is one of the store’s specialties.
"I drove here, so I won't drink. Don't drink and drive." If Si Mingyu had known that he would have to drink in the evening, it would have been better to just give the car keys to Li Shijianing.
"Today's meal is to thank you. It doesn't matter if the protagonist doesn't drink it!" Jiang Jiani said reasonably.
“That’s right, it’s mainly to thank you. You can’t not drink. Just hand over a designated driver when the car leaves.” Shen Kaihang also advised.
"Okay, then I won't postpone it." Since everyone insisted, it would be bad to offend them.
After the wine came, Jiang Jiani poured it for Si Mingyu first, and then filled the glasses of all the boys present according to their age.
Then she raised her glass and said, "I'm just offering this as a token of my gratitude to Si Mingyu for helping us out."
"Yes, the scene was terrifying. That bald thug (referring to Da Li) wouldn't let us leave and even took our cell phones away."
"Jin Anming is not a good person either. He brought those five hooligans here."
"It's a good thing Jiani didn't agree to him, otherwise who knows what would have happened."
The remaining three women also echoed the sentiment, expressing their gratitude and condemning Jin Anming.
The four girls toasted each other with a glass, and then the guys in the dormitory followed suit, making it seven glasses in total. However, once the wine started to flow, the atmosphere became lively, and everyone started talking and chatting freely.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Si Mingyu finally understood some of the situation.
Zhang Qi and another girl, Zhuang Linyan, were very self-aware because of their average conditions. They treated hanging out with others like participating in a group activity, actively sharing chores and not stinging with compliments in exchange for practical benefits.
Originally, their target could have been Lin Wenhui, but unfortunately he had already been engaged, so the two of them would gradually withdraw from this circle.
Although Wang Zeting is not handsome, he is definitely not ugly. He is tall and strong with eight-pack abs, which makes him look very manly. Wang Yidi has an ordinary appearance but a good figure. The two are also on par in terms of personal qualities.
Wang Zeting was born in the countryside, and Wang Yidi's family was also from the county town, so their family conditions were not much different, and neither of them had the right to look down on the other. This was also the premise for the two to try to date.
The relationship between Jiang Jiani and Shen Kaihang is interesting. Jiang Jiani asked Shen Kaihang for his WeChat first, which should be considered her initiative, but their daily contact is like that of ordinary friends, with no substantial progress at all.
The three of them also asked Shen Kaihang what his impression of Jiang Jiani was, but he was very hesitant.
In modern society, it's normal for women to pursue men, but Jiang Jiani has never taken the initiative to bring it up, nor has she done anything ambiguous. From Shen Kaihang's perspective, the other party's appearance conditions are indeed good, and he is very understanding, but he is a little unwilling to let him speak first, always feeling that there can be better.
In this situation, no one else can help, and in the end it all depends on them.
Jiang Jiani has worked very hard, working out and eating nutritious meals to get into shape, and learning makeup and dressing to make herself more fashionable, but some innate conditions cannot be changed. Although she was the class beauty in high school and ranked among the top students in the school, she is no longer so good at Jiaotong University and is not even in the top 50.
With Shen Kaihang's appearance, he can be ranked among the top ten male students in Jiaotong University. In addition, his family is wealthy, which makes him a very good blue chip.
She was very clear about her own position. Because she was not a goddess-level beauty, her licking dogs were of average quality and could not give her what she wanted. If she wanted to move up, she had to actively fight for it, so she asked Shen Kaihang for his WeChat first.
But the reason why she didn't make any further statement even though they kept talking after adding each other on WeChat was because she knew she only had one chance and had to play it safe.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to find a rich second-generation man, but she doesn’t have the capital.
For example, Jin Anming had indeed been pursuing her since high school, but Jiang Jiani knew that even if she agreed, he would not marry her in the end because their family conditions were too different and they were not a good match.
The reason why Jin Anming is still obsessed with her now is simply because he is unwilling to give up after pursuing her without success. Once the novelty wears off, he will abandon her like trash.
Of course, the main issue was that Jin Anming was broke. It wasn't that his family was broke; how could someone in the real estate business be poor? It was that his family was too strict. Food, clothing, and daily necessities were all fine, so asking for money? No way.
This is the fixed amount every month. No more will be given. All relatives and friends have been informed, and no one is allowed to give money secretly.
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. How could Jin Anming's father not know his true character? He did this to prevent him from learning bad habits. Although the results proved to be unsatisfactory, it was at least much better than other wealthy second-generation prodigals.
This is also the reason why the watches worn by the rich second generation are not as good as Shen Qihang’s.
If Jin Anming has money and is willing to spend it, then Jiang Jiani wouldn't mind selling herself for a good price, exchanging a few years of her time for money that she wouldn't be able to earn in the next ten or even dozens of years of hard work.
But look at the things he gave her. Compared to what most students give their girlfriends, they're not cheap. They cost thousands or even tens of thousands. But this is Shanghai. If Jiang Jiani needs this little money, she might as well work at Starbucks.
She is very realistic. She wants to either find a long-term meal ticket or sell herself for a good price.
