Chapter 1213: Chapter 1227: Dining Without Paying
But thinking about it, given his Second Brother’s naturally frosty personality and his protective devotion to his wife, there’s a good chance he’d go hungry for three days after finding out that he and An Ran went to eat snail noodles.
After the meal, Sun Wangbei took out his wallet to pay the bill. As the boss of Jiawen Entertainment, taking two ladies out for a meal, even if An Ran said it was her treat, how could he let the two women pay?
He just didn’t expect...
"I’m sorry, sir, we don’t accept cards here. Do you have cash?"
The cashier, an older woman, looked at the limited edition black card in Sun Wangbei’s hand with disdain. Her expression was as if this extravagantly dressed man was planning to dine and dash.
No wonder — the woman had seen bank cards, credit cards, bus cards, student cards, but never a black card that was globally limited, had no credit limit, and could be overdrafted indefinitely.
Cash?
Sun Wangbei was puzzled. He had come to find his sister-in-law today, didn’t bring his assistant, and indeed had no cash on him.
"Let me do it, I said I’d treat."
An Ran took out a fifty-yuan note from her bag and handed it to the lady. The snail noodles were ten yuan per bowl, and the lady gave back twenty yuan in change.
As she handed the money back to An Ran, the woman glanced at Sun Wangbei again and couldn’t hold back, "Young lady, when looking for a boyfriend, looks aren’t everything."
An Ran took the money without explaining, and nodded to thank the lady.
As they left the restaurant, Sun Wangbei almost spat out blood.
"Sis-in-law, that lady must be blind. Am I the kind of person who only has looks? Just my aura is enough to show my talent, right? It’s just three bowls of snail noodles, and she made it seem like I was planning to dine and dash. Hasn’t she ever seen a black card before?"
An Ran stifled her laughter as she listened to Sun Wangbei’s complaints. This meal truly humbled Sun Wangbei. Not only was he very uncomfortable, but he was also disdained by a small restaurant’s cashier.
"Young Master Sun, you didn’t come all this way just to have a meal with me, did you?"
Although Sun Wangbei usually appeared carefree, he wasn’t lazy. Jiawen Entertainment had already reached the top of the Empire’s entertainment industry, so how could this boss have much free time?
When An Ran said this, Sun Wangbei stopped his complaints, stood under a big tree, and began talking to the two. He should have said these things earlier, but the dining environment simply didn’t inspire conversation.
"Sis-in-law, Brother’s wedding has been decided; it’s on October 6th. Second Brother’s Special Team was just established, so he might not be able to make it. I’ll be in Nan’an for the next few days, and I’ll take you there, and Xiao Xiao too. If Eleven is free at home, come with us to the Imperial City. Ruonan wants to invite you as a bridesmaid."
"Huh? I’m going too?" Xiao Xiao apparently didn’t expect Lin Ruonan to invite her as a bridesmaid. She had only met Lin Ruonan twice. Although their personalities matched well, they didn’t have a deep relationship.
"Yes, we’re all friends. You were already a bridesmaid for Sister Wanxin, so don’t refuse Ruonan. This isn’t just Lin Ruonan’s idea; when he learned I was coming to the Imperial City, Lin Junyang repeatedly reminded me to bring Xiao Xiao along."
Lin Junyang was the youngest of the five brothers, and everyone still felt sorry for him because of what happened back then. Though he hadn’t openly expressed his relationship with Xiao Xiao, all the brothers were willing to help this awkward guy.
"Alright then, but I need to discuss it with my mom first," Xiao Xiao indeed wanted to go, considering she’d be able to see Lin Junyang again in the Imperial City.
