Chapter 221: Pay Eldest Brother’s Bill
Sheng Tingze’s eyes turned darker and darker.
Jin Si was so scared that he almost bit his tongue. “She’s a very powerful internet celebrity, very mysterious. Her fan count is even comparable to that of famous stars. She’s very good at doing liberal arts test papers, so everyone thought she was a liberal arts student.”
It was like God was holding a rice cooker and chasing after and feeding her. Miss was too talented.
After hearing this, Sheng Tingze said indifferently, “Yes, she’s talented indeed.”
Jin Si thought he was hallucinating. He had never heard Mr. Sheng praise anyone before!
It seemed that it wasn’t as hard as it seemed for the two to get along.
At this time, the steak that Sheng Tingze hated most was served again. Jin Si watched the nightmare-like steak placed in front of them.
Everything was going well. He hoped it wouldn’t be ruined here.
Sure enough, Jin Si watched Mr. Sheng frown and his heart did a flip.
But they had no choice. This steak was this restaurant’s signature dish.
In fact, ordinary people might think it was delicious, but Mr. Sheng, who was very picky about food, found it intolerable.
Seeing Sheng Tingze slowly picking up a piece of steak, Jin Si stared closely, his heart jumping to his throat. He had no idea how exaggerated his current expression was.
Sheng Yang didn’t pay attention to Sheng Tingze who was always poker-faced, but Jin Si’s expression intrigued her.
She followed his gaze and paused.
Did this steak taste that bad?
Sheng Tingze’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly and he swallowed the piece of steak. Jin Si’s tense face relaxed a bit, but he was still worried that Mr. Sheng would say something improper.
For example, he might say “This steak tastes terrible” then turn around and leave.
He was the kind of person who didn’t give a damn about time and occasion.
But unexpectedly, he didn’t. Instead, seeing that Sheng Yang had already begun to eat the second piece, he pressed his temple and asked, “Is this delicious?”
“Not bad,” Sheng Yang said. “But it’s far worse than what I cook.”
“Can you cook?”
“Yes, Mom, Dad, Second Elder Brother, and Third Elder Brother have all eaten my cooking.” Sheng Yang was referring to the royal dishes she made at Yi Juncheng’s home last time.
The conversation finally went more smoothly and Jin Si secretly heaved a breath of relief, but he was surprised to see Mr. Sheng’s face grow darker.
Is there anything wrong with that?
To be in Mr. Sheng’s company was almost tantamount to living with a tiger.
Sheng Tingze stopped talking and he took another bite of the steak.
Jin Si was shocked. This was the second bite taken by Mr. Sheng!
Sitting opposite Sheng Yang, Sheng Tingze suddenly seemed to have a good appetite and ate half of the steak unknowingly.
Sheng Tingze was about to tell Jin Si to pay the bill when a man suddenly ran over and smiled fawningly at Sheng Yang. “Hello, I’m the owner of this restaurant. Sylvia, I’m a big fan of yours. It’s my treat.”
Seeing Mr. Sheng raise his eyebrows, Jin Si said hurriedly, “No, no need.”
Mr. Sheng said it was his treat. He had never let a woman pay the bill for him before.
The restaurant owner looked at Jin Si a little angrily. “Little brother, are you looking down on me? I can afford this meal.”
“No, I don’t mean that… Listen to me…”
The restaurant owner covered his ears, refusing to listen to him.
Seeing as Jin Si was speechless, he put down his hands that were covering his ears…
