Chapter 30 You Are So Stupid (2/2)
She looked at his wet face and said, ”Are you out of your mind?”
James was a little embarrassed now.
He wasn't expecting that type of reaction.
Some people around
them burst into laughter. They were all very familiar with Nina and James. They didn't believe that Nina and James were a couple, but now they thought they were wrong.
Who would dare spit water on his face? Who would disrespect him like that?
It could only be Nina.
What she said made sense. James was probably out of his mind. Even though she clearly had no respect for him, he still invited her out.
”Why are you laughing?” James couldn't be angry with her. She would be his aunt in the future.
He could yell at these other bystanders though. They meant absolutely nothing to him. He was doing them a favor by just gracing them with his presence, in his eyes anyway.
Everyone stopped laughing and lowered their head timidly.
”Oh, don't worry about them. Let's go to have dinner. Mr. Shi, what do you want to get?” Michelle asked.
”You have to ask Nina. I'm inviting her.”
”Nini likes seafood. That is her favorite I think. We can go eat some crabs. What do you think, Nini?” Michelle walked up to Nina and held her arm. She smiled, revealing her white teeth.
Nina really felt a warm feeling creep over her heart as if it was about to melt. She had friends before like Isabella that had no idea that she loved seafood. Even Albert, who had always been considerate and gentle, didn't know that she liked seafood.
How did Michelle know?
”You're not Nina. How do you know she likes seafood?” James asked Michelle, annoyed.
Michelle said confidently, ”Of course I know. Every time I have dinner with Nini, she has to have some form of seafood on her plate, sometimes lobster, sometimes squid, and sometimes scallop. Anyway, the point is that she loves seafood.
Well, she only order a kind of seafood each other because...” Michelle turned to look at Nina with tenderness in her eyes. She thought, 'Because Nini is poor, so she always tries to save money.'
She stopped herself because she couldn't tell James that. He would probably look down on her for it.
With her right hand holding Nina's arm and her left hand clutching James' clothes, Michelle was ready to leave. ”So we're going to eat seafood. We can go to the seafood buffet.”
Seeing Michelle's expression, Nina knew what she was thinking. She knew that Michelle thought she was too poor. She made that sympathetic face quite often.
She didn't know what to say for a moment. She was a bit flustered.
”Alright, let's go.” Nina walked arm in arm with Michelle gleefully. She knew that she probably wanted to eat seafood too.
James was elated. He took out his phone and began dialing someone.
”I'll make a call and book a table at the Seafood Restaurant for us.”
”Great! Apparently all their seafood is imported from C Island. It's possibly the freshest in the city, and the chefs are incredible. We have to go there. The interesting thing about the Seafood Restaurant is that it is owned by the Shi family. Hurry up and make the call!”
Just talking about the C Island stunned Nina. For a moment she was in a complete daze.
When James dialed the number, John's low and hoarse voice came from the other end of the line. ”What's up? If you're going to waste my time, I'm going to hang up.”
”Oh, Uncle John, please don't. Nina wants seafood so we want to go to the Seafood Restaurant. Please may you book us a table?” With his back to Nina, James smiled sinisterly.
He covered his mouth and whispered into the phone, ”Uncle John, don't say that I never help you.”
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in John's eyes. He said to Henry, ”Go to the Seafood Restaurant.”
James was relieved. They hopped in his dazzling Ferrari and drove to the Seafood Restaurant.
As soon as the car stopped at the door of the Seafood Restaurant, they met John who got out of his Bentley.
”Nini, your uncle is also here!” Michelle pressed her face against the window and pointed at the man in a black suit.
His steely and charming profile was difficult to miss.
