Chapter 265 Let's have a good meal tonight

The man on the blind date looked at Jiang Moli's fair and beautiful face, and his mustache trembled with laughter.

"I, I'm very satisfied with you."

Jiang Moli said knowingly, "Okay, let me tell you my requirements."

"The bride price includes three watches, one radio, a gold ring, gold earrings, a gold necklace, plus 288 yuan. Isn't that a lot?"

The man she was on a blind date stared at her, his smile vanishing.

The three turns and one sound alone cost several hundred yuan, and a gold ring, gold earrings and a gold necklace would cost at least three or four hundred yuan. Then there's the 288 yuan dowry, which adds up to over a thousand yuan!

Jiang Moli continued, counting on her fingers, "I've never done housework since I was a child, and I don't know how to do it, so after we got married, you'll have to do all the housework, like washing clothes, cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning."

“I am still young and in the prime of my career. Pregnancy and childbirth would affect my work, so I do not plan to have children within the next five years.”

"In addition, you need to prepare a house. After getting married, I will not live with my parents-in-law. If it is just the two of us, 50 square meters will be enough."

"After we get married, your salary will be under my management. Of course, I will also give you 2 yuan a month for pocket money. After all, a man needs to manage his social life outside."

The man's gaze towards Jiang Moli now held no trace of infatuation, only disgust and anger.

"Disdain value +1, 10000 yuan credited."

Upon hearing that the "dislike points" had been credited to her account, Jiang Moli prepared to leave.

"That's enough for today. Go back and think it over carefully. I have another blind date to attend."

Staring at Jiang Moli's departing figure, the man on the blind date was so angry that his mustache stood on end.

She's going on blind dates with him, but she's also meeting up with other men.

He would never marry a woman who's always looking for something better, a woman who's fickle, promiscuous, and vain!
Qian Ling shared the same concerns about the man she was meeting on a blind date.

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? My aunt would definitely be angry if she found out."

Jiang Moli said, "She introduced you to such a grotesque person, aren't you angry?"

Qian Ling said dejectedly, "My mom thinks Hong Hua is a public school teacher with a stable job and a decent income, so she let me come and meet him. She didn't say that I had to date him."

"Has your mother ever met this man surnamed Hong?"

Qian Ling shook her head. "I've never met him. She only heard it from my cousin, who said he was the only son in his family and that both his parents were employees."

"If you ask me, your aunt has no good intentions. She only talks about the man's advantages, but doesn't mention a word about his disadvantages. She doesn't even consider whether this man is good enough for you. She treats you as a favor or a resource to earn matchmaker's gifts, or even as a bargaining chip for exchanging benefits. Otherwise, go back and ask your mother to inquire whether your aunt's family needs something from this man surnamed Hong."

Qian Ling had never heard of such things before and looked on incredulously.

"No way, my aunt is a really nice person."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "That's not the best option. You should apologize to her and say that you don't like this guy. If she really cares about you, she will understand and support you."

Qian Ling nodded, "Thank you for today. Let me treat you to beef noodles."

It was almost dark by then, and both of them were starving.

Jiang Moli was about to agree when she spotted a familiar figure sitting in the restaurant next door and smiled.

"We'll eat noodles later; let's have something nice tonight."

He then pulled Qian Ling into the restaurant.

"Hi, Sister Weiwei, long time no see! You're eating here too?"

Seeing Jiang Moli, Meng Wei's expression was far from pleasant.

However, since her blind date was present, she couldn't get angry for fear of leaving a bad impression, so she could only hold it in.

Unaware of the situation, Wen Jingrui smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Moli: "You're Xiao Wei's friends, right? Are you here for dinner too? Would you like to sit down and eat with us?"

"Okay!"

Jiang Moli had been waiting for these words, and immediately pulled Qian Ling down to sit.

Wen Jingrui's lips twitched slightly. He was only being polite verbally, but he didn't expect Jiang Moli to be so impolite.

However, since he was already seated, his good manners prevented him from asking him to leave, so he had no choice but to call the waiter to order more food.

This restaurant serves Cantonese cuisine.

Jiang Moli ordered two braised pigeons, half a braised goose, and a serving of stir-fried rice noodles without any hesitation.

"That'll do for now, we'll add more if needed."

Meng Wei was so angry that her face turned pale, but she dared not make any rash moves, for fear of ruining her blind date that evening.

Because of what happened to the Lin family, her reputation was ruined in the eyes of her relatives and neighbors, and no one was willing to introduce her to a potential partner.

Tonight's match was arranged by her former senior.

Jiang Moli sipped her tea, smiling as she sized up Wen Jingrui.

His features weren't exactly handsome, but they weren't ugly either. He had fair skin, wore a gray turtleneck sweater, and had a black overcoat draped over the back of a chair. He had a sophisticated air about him.

"Hey, I've never seen you before. Did you and Sister Weiwei just meet?"

Wen Jingrui nodded. "Yes, a friend introduced us. You and Xiaowei are..."

"friend!"

Fearing that Jiang Moli might say something irrelevant, Meng Wei answered first.

Jiang Moli didn't contradict her, after all, her goal tonight was to get a free meal.

"That's right, we're all friends. I'm Jiang Moli, and this is Qian Ling, my colleague from the performing arts troupe. She's mainly responsible for broadcasting and hosting. By the way, may I ask your name?"

Wen Jingrui gave a brief self-introduction to the two of them.

Jiang Moli was already hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and said, "Let's eat and talk, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Wen Jingrui gestured for him to eat, saying, "Eat, don't be shy."

Wen Jingrui and Meng Wei ordered steamed sea bass, honey-glazed char siu, and boiled cabbage in clear broth. The dishes were few but exquisite.

Jiang Moli first picked up a piece of plump fish belly and put it in Qian Ling's bowl, then picked up another piece for herself to eat.

While eating, they kept praising it, saying, "The fish is so tender, sweet, and has no fishy smell at all. It's really good!"

Seeing her enjoying her meal, Wen Jingrui couldn't help but smile and explain, "The chefs at this restaurant are all from Guangdong, so their Cantonese cuisine is quite authentic."

Jiang Moli smiled and said, "It's obvious that Dr. Wen is a regular customer here."

"I've been here a few times."

Which hospital does Dr. Wen work at?

"The First Affiliated Hospital".

Jiang Moli nudged Qian Ling beside her, "Lingling, guess which department Dr. Wen is in?"

Qian Ling looked Wen Jingrui over carefully and said, "Surgery, right?"

Wen Jingrui was somewhat surprised, "How did you figure that out?"

Qian Ling pointed to his hand, "Your fingers are long, your knuckles are a bit thick, and there are indentations on your index finger and thumb. You can tell at a glance that you are someone who often handles a scalpel."

Wen Jingrui looked at his hands and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so observant."

Qian Ling's cheeks flushed slightly. "My mom is a nurse. I used to visit her workplace often, so I know a lot about these things."

"Which company does Auntie work for?"

"I used to be in the hospital, now I'm in the maternal and child health hospital."

The three of them ate and chatted in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere, which made Meng Wei feel like an outsider who couldn't get a word in edgewise. She was so angry that she almost broke the chopsticks in her hand.
