Chapter 550 A messy dinner for Jiang Zhen (1)

In the evening at one of the high-end restaurants, Jiang Zhen walked in, carrying an air of arrogance and dominance. A table was booked at the upper floor where wealthier customers had their dinner.

Jiang Hua was meekly following him, conscious of her attire and looks. She had never gone to such a fancy restaurant with Jiang Zhen before. She watched many socialites dressed in branded clothes with rich jewellery fitting them. They looked confident, but she wasn\'t.

She felt a warm hand on her shoulder and saw Lihua smiling at her. "Why are you so nervous? You look beautiful!" She whispered in her ear, "The prettiest here among these women who have put such a heavy makeup on them! I can even smell someone\'s strong perfume!" She made an uncomfortable face. "I feel so dizzy…"

Jiang Hua couldn\'t help but curl her lips into a soft smile. Her compliments eased her heart.

She glanced at Jiang Zhen and pursed her lips.

Though she really wished for him to compliment her.

Lihua brought Ruru closer to him and whispered in his ears. "Ruru, did you say how pretty your Mama looks?"

He scrunched up his cute brows. "Lihua is pretty."

"..."

"N-No. I am not asking about me. Your mother. Did you compliment her?"

He hugged his teddy bear and shook his head.

"That\'s not good, Ruru. Your Mama will be really happy if you praise her."

He didn\'t seem to be too thrilled with the idea.

"Go, go," she eagerly urged him. "She works hard for you and the family. So, when the time comes to appreciate her, you shouldn\'t hesitate at all. She will feel cherished."

Qingqing was cozily resting in Lihua\'s arms.

Do it kiddo human. There are not many times she says intelligent things.

Ruru trotted over to Jiang Hua\'s side and clutched the hem of her dress between his small fingers.

She looked down and tenderly smiled at her son. "Yes, Ruru? Oh, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

He shook his head. He tried, but he felt embarrassed and awkward.

Shee knitted her brows in worry. "Do you feel sick, Ruru?"

Ruru raised his head and after opening and closing his mouth many times, he finally said, "... Pretty. Mama looks pretty."

Jiang Hua widened her eyes. She was in disbelief for several moments. Ruru had never taken the initiative to talk to her, much less compliment her.

She peeked at Lihua, who coughed and quickly looked away.

"Qingqing, what do you want to eat tonight? There is yummy food here!"

*Meow*

Qingqing snorted in disdain.

Jiang Hua smiled. In the end, it was still Lihua who convinced Ruru. Nevertheless, Jiang Hua felt the joy bloom in her chest from her son\'s praise.

She patted his head, smiling a beautiful smile. "Thank you, Ruru. You made Mama really happy."

Ruru stared at her and nodded. He was about to hop back to Lihua\'s side but for some reason, he stayed beside Jiang Hua this time. She beamed in delight, noticing his gesture.

Lihua sneered as she threw a mocking glance at Jiang Zhen. "Well, somebody else should be praising his wife too. But we cannot expect anything from a disgusting piece of shit who brings another woman to dinner with his family. Nothing can be expected from a man who cannot recognize a gem."

Jiang Zhen raised his brow. He gave an amusing smirk. "Of course, I can recognize gems. Isn\'t that why you are here, my dear?"

"Be careful. Remember, poison? Or who knows I get lucky and enjoy a show with you being all afraid like a wuss for a scorpion?"

"I am not afraid of scorpions."

"You do realize they will be poisonous scorpions, don\'t you?"

He smiled. "It\'s nice you are so happy dreaming about impossible events."

Their table was located near the large glass window that showed the breathtaking view of the city at night time.

A waitress donned in a formal attire with a mask on her face approached their table. "Good evening, dear customers. Shall I take your order?"

She first looked at Jiang Hua and asked, "Mam?"

She stiffened and felt at a loss. "U-um…"

I am not used to this atmosphere….

Lihua quickly helped her before Jiang Zhen was about to interfere. "You can order anything you like. It\'s a dinner your husband is sponsoring. Don\'t be shy to empty his credit card~ The more the better. Look, how skinny you look."

He narrowed his eyes.

"B-But without him-"

"It\'s your food. You are gonna eat it, not him. Don\'t bother anybody\'s not-so-asked-for opinion," she smiled.

"You look cute when you try so hard to insult me," he chuckled.

"I know I am cute. I don\'t need your stamp."

He choked.

"On the other hand, you will always look ugly no matter what you do," she mocked.

Jiang Hua fumbled but finally gave her order.

The waitress then smiled at Ruru. "What about you, dear?"

"Burger!" He sparkled. "With lots of cheese!"

"Sure."

Then she asked Lihua, "Mam, yours?"

Lihua carefully sized the waitress up and down.

Her voice sounds so familiar…It\'s almost like Yaya?

She dismissed her thoughts and replied. "I am in the mood for something spicy! Hmm…give me this, this, this and this!" She pointed to a few items on the menu.

Jiang Zhen was stupefied.

Is she a pig?

The waitress nodded.

He was stunned again.

Why the hell aren\'t you shocked?

The waitress gently said, "I see you are pregnant. Congratulations, Mam. It\'s nice to see you having a healthy appetite when your child is growing."

Lihua sheepishly grinned. "Well…I always had a bottomless stomach anyway hehe…"

Ruru giggled.

Jiang Zhen\'s mouth twitched.

The waitress nodded and turned to leave.

Jiang Zhen stopped her. "Wait. I am still here. You didn\'t take my order."

She looked back and quickly apologized. "Oh, I am sorry, Sir! I didn\'t notice you at all."

"..."

Lihua almost spit the water out she was drinking. Jiang Hua was horrified.

"Excuse me?" Jiang Zhen uttered in a cold, dangerous voice.
