Chapter 213 Divine Assistance
Li Ze looked at Fan Xi, who was still standing hesitating at the door.
His tone was very gentle, with the casualness characteristic of an elder.
He began to speak:
"Hey student, please sit down. Everyone saved this seat for you. Don't stand, come sit down and eat."
When Fan Xi heard Li Ze personally ask her to sit down, she couldn't refuse any longer.
She said softly:
"Oh well……"
Fan Xi walked to the empty seat, pulled out a chair, and sat down somewhat awkwardly.
She sat next to Li Menghan.
The two people were very close together.
Meng Han could clearly smell the very faint scent of laundry detergent on Fan Xi's body; it smelled very fresh.
Meng Han turned her head and looked at Fan Xi sitting next to her.
Seeing the slight tension on her face, he quickly whispered words of comfort:
"It's okay, just make yourself at home here, don't be nervous."
Fan Xi lowered her head, placed her hands on her knees, and replied softly:
"Um……"
Li Mengli, who was sitting opposite, had seen the whole scene unfold.
She observed very carefully the interaction between her younger brother and the girl next to him wearing a light blue hoodie.
The way the younger brother looked at her when he spoke, and the way the girl lowered her head in embarrassment.
Mengli understood everything at once.
She leaned close to Li Ze's ear, lowered her voice, and whispered:
"Dad, that assist you just gave us was absolutely perfect!"
Li Ze picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip of tea.
He smiled slightly and replied in a similarly low voice:
"Of course! Don't you even know who your father is?"
Mengli couldn't help but lower her head and smile.
Then she looked up and placed the menu in the center of the table.
She looked at everyone present and said loudly:
"Alright everyone! Take a look at the menu, and choose what you want to eat!"
Because Li Ze and Li Mengli had already chosen all the dishes they wanted to eat beforehand.
So now the only people left to order food are Li Menghan, Fan Xi, Wang Jiaqi, and Liu Dazhuang.
Li Menghan took the menu and flipped through it a couple of times.
To be honest, although he came to his mother's restaurant to eat, he didn't recognize a single dish on the menu.
He had never eaten at such a high-end restaurant before.
After flipping through a few pages, he realized he didn't know what to order.
So he handed the menu to Fan Xi, who was standing next to him.
"You order, order whatever you want."
After Fan Xi took the menu, she glanced at Li Ze and then at Meng Li.
She felt it was really inappropriate to openly look at the menu and order expensive dishes in front of other people's fathers and sisters.
So she didn't even look at the menu, and instead passed it to Wang Jiaqi, who was sitting next to her.
"You should do it."
After receiving the menu, Wang Jiaqi hesitated for a moment.
He glanced at Liu Dazhuang beside him and then proceeded to pass the menu down the line.
Liu Dazhuang quickly moved closer and whispered something in Wang Jiaqi's ear:
"Jiaqi, if you keep passing this around, this menu will have to go through a whole loop and come back to where it is."
Wang Jiaqi was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
He looked down at the menu in his hand, then looked up at the people at the table.
That's definitely the case.
If it gets passed on further, it will eventually reach Li Ze and Meng Li, which would be awkward.
Wang Jiaqi scratched his head and smiled sheepishly:
"Oh, haha, alright then, I won't be polite."
After speaking, Wang Jiaqi opened the menu.
His eyes widened as soon as he turned the first page.
The price listed after each dish made him feel like his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Wang Jiaqi pointed to a dish on the menu and read it aloud very loudly:
"Wow! This Australian lobster costs 1588 yuan a dish!"
He quickly turned to the next page and saw another dish.
His voice grew louder:
"This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall costs 5988? My goodness!"
Wang Jiaqi continued scrolling down.
When he turned to the most expensive page, his jaw almost dropped to the table.
"And this! M9 Wagyu beef and seafood platter! It's 10988! Goodness! This is the first time in my life I've ever seen such an expensive dish!"
Liu Dazhuang, sitting next to him, craned his neck and looked at the prices on the menu as well.
Liu Dazhuang pushed up his glasses and sighed softly:
"Goodness, even the cheapest dish on this menu is enough to feed me for two weeks at the school cafeteria."
Sitting in the main seat, Li Ze looked at Wang Jiaqi and Liu Dazhuang with extremely shocked expressions.
He smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea.
Then he said to them in a very relaxed tone:
"It's alright. This meal is on me. So just order whatever you want, don't worry about the price. This amount of money is really nothing to me."
Wang Jiaqi and Liu Dazhuang heard Li Ze's casual remark.
The two of them looked at each other.
Also.
He's Menghan's father.
How could someone who can give their son a billion yuan as pocket money so easily possibly care about the cost of this meal?
So Wang Jiaqi didn't hold back.
He flipped through the menu with great enthusiasm and ordered all the dishes he had always wanted to eat but could never afford.
Liu Dazhuang didn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity either, and he also ordered several expensive dishes.
Of course, while the two of them were a bit more relaxed, they weren't too unrestrained.
The total cost of the food ordered by the two of them was only around five thousand yuan.
They still have a sense of propriety.
After all, it's someone else treating you to dinner, so even if they're rich, you shouldn't go too far.
After ordering all the dishes, Li Ze handed the menu to the waiter standing next to him.
The waiter noted down all the dish names and then respectfully left the private room to arrange for the dishes to be served.
While waiting for the food to arrive, everyone sat at the table and chatted casually.
Li Ze looked at the young people in front of him and naturally started chatting with them one by one.
He first asked for Wang Jiaqi and Liu Dazhuang's names.
Then he asked them what their majors were and what hobbies they had at school.
Wang Jiaqi told Li Ze that he studied physical education and that his favorite sport was basketball.
Liu Dazhuang said he studied computer science and enjoys reading and playing games in his spare time.
Li Ze nodded happily after hearing this.
He said to them:
"You and Menghan are roommates, so you must take care of each other at school. Living in the same room is almost like being brothers."
Wang Jiaqi immediately patted his chest and loudly guaranteed:
"Of course, Uncle! We're brothers! Putting everything else aside, as long as I, Jiaqi, am here, I will never let Menghan suffer any injustice at school!"
Meng Han, standing beside him, also smiled and chimed in:
"Yes, Dad, we're all very close. It's a must that we look after each other at school."
Li Ze nodded in satisfaction.
Then, his gaze turned to Fan Xi, who was sitting next to Meng Han.
