Chapter 14 (1/2)

Zhen Lang choked on a piece of steak meat He put his knife and fork down and he drank a sip of water

Gu Jing secretly gave Zhen Lang a why-didn’t-you-choke-to-death look Then she sy date

Gu Jing’s date passed the plate of fried potato chips to her after he ate most of the chips except for three measly chips

When the waiter returned Gu Jing’s date pretended to be generous, he passed her thefrom the menu’

Gu Jing stared lovingly at Zhen Lang’s steak and she pointed at the steak on the menu

‘No, it’s too expensive Take a look, there are only a few pieces of hty Yuan Think about how et coo to the shops you can buy a kilograhty Yuan and it’ll feed you for a month!’ the man said

Gu Jing smiled stiffly at the waiter and the waiter smiled politely

Peng Cheng Gui’s voice popped inside Gu Jing’s head and the voice rehed and she gave up ordering the steak Instead she decided to order coffee, because she could eat after the date ended

Gu Jing pointed at the espresso coffee under the drink section of the menu and the waiter nodded his head

‘No, it’s not worth eight Yuan for twenty-five millilitres of coffee You can buy a jar of coffee at the superh coffee to drink for a fortnight,’ the man said

Gu Jing’s finger that pointed at the espresso coffee caused a dent on the , he held up a cup of coffee and he smiled at her She looked back at the waiter and she shook her head ‘I don’t need to drink the espresso coffee’

‘Miss Gu, take a look around this place Its furnishi+ngs are average, the e and even the table cloth is cheap I don’t kno this place is reputed as the best cafe in the city,’ the man said

Gu Jing noticed the waiter’s face flinched and the waiter walked away frory eyes focused at her table But her date felt no shas

Gu Jing’s date’s tactless chin pointed at the tables behind her ‘Miss Gu, turn around and look at the custoly cafe like this will attract ly customers’

Gu Jing’s hands gripped the corners of the table She wanted to curse her tactless date! She hated ed other people the most!

Gu Jing heard Zhen Lang coughed and she glared at his amused face

‘Miss Gu, look at the waiters here There are tall waiters and short waiters No consistency-’ the man said

‘I’ said and she was about to leave but she noticed Zhen Lang’s face glowed triuue ‘Ielse?’

‘Ok Miss Gu, how much do you earn a month?’ the man asked

Gu Jing vaguely res into her ears, but the numbers were lost on the way to her brain

‘Miss Gu, it’s ok if you’re too es Can you at least tell me if you work in the public or private sector and is your job stable?’ the man said

Gu Jing didn’t get a chance to open herassumption

‘Oh… so you’re uneh to support myself and a wife too My on’t need to work and she’ll be staying at home,’ the man said

Gu Jing thought ‘won’t need to work’ were the first decent words to come out of her date’s mouth

‘But…’ the ’s dress ‘I think women shouldn’t care too much about clothes and makeup It’s a waste of money to spend on unnecessary luxury items There are too s and shoes on a monthly basis Why do women need to buy new shoes when the shoes they have aren’t broken?’
