Chapter 762


    As they waited for the food, Tate and Minerva busied themselves with taking another round of


    photographs and posting it on Instagram.


    On the other hand, Jonah studied a bottle of the Cheval nc for a long time before shaking his head.


    Without a doubt, it was a genuine product.


    After she finished taking photographs, Minervained, “Ugh—why isn’t the food here yet? I think we


    should open the wine first.”


    Judging by her demeanor, she was afraid someone would take the wine away.


    Right at that moment, the waiter knocked on the door and walked in with an intricately designed tter.


    “The first course,dies and gentlemen,” he said respectfully as he ced it on the table.


    Eagerly, Minerva leaned over the table. “Oh boy! I can’t wait to see what this Chinese chef has


    prepared!”


    To her shock, she discovered upon removing the cover that it was a tter of egg fried rice.


    Utterly befuddled, she asked, “What… What is this?”


    Like her, her entire family was stunned. What was this? How could the restaurant serve them the main


    course now?


    Cordially, the waiter answered, “It’s Golden Rice.”


    Frowning, Jonah said, “What do you mean, Golden Rice? It’s egg fried rice. This is what your so-called


    famous chef from China is serving us? You’ve got to be joking! Who serves a tter of egg fried rice like


    it’s fine dining? Looks like your establishment isn’t as ssy as you make it out to be!”


    Tate and Minerva vigorously nodded their heads in agreement, neither of them pleased.


    Calmly, the waiter answered, “This is actually the first course, sir, as well as one of the signature dishes


    of the chef from China. It’s well-beloved by the rich and powerful there and can cost nearly ten thousand.


    At the Shanghai Nights restaurant, we would price it at nearly twenty thousand!”


    Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked.

    Minerva was the first to speak up and sheined, “Stop boasting! How could a tter of egg fried


    rice cost twenty thousand? Do you think it’s made with real gold? If you’re going to lie, pick a better one!”


    Courteously, the waiter answered, “My apologies, but that’s the price fixed by the establishment.”


    “I don’t care what your ‘fixed price’ is!” she snarled angrily. “Do you think you can fool us just because


    you’re covering our expenses by serving us a tter of egg fried rice as the main course, so that you can


    chase us away once we’re done? If you’re that hard-pressed to cover an entire meal, stop saying you’ll


    cover our expenses! Do you know how shameful that is? Look at what your Supreme Card is worth,


    Matthew! Waiter, you’d better go and get your manager!”


    The waiter frowned slightly, for he had never met someone like Minerva in all his time working here.


    Embarrassed, Helen suggested, “Why don’t we try the food first? Perhaps this tter of egg fried rice is


    special!”


    Scowling, Jonah answered, “However special it may be, it’s still a tter of egg fried rice. It’s very rude of


    that friend of yours to lie to us like that, Matthew.”


    Unfortunately for him, Matthew ignored him.


    After all, the Campbells had promised to pay for dinner, only to waive their expenses in the end.


    And then, they had said they would not drink, but they were now practically gulping all the wine down.


    Yet, now that the food was here, they wereining that it wasn’t good enough for them. How


    shameless can they be?


    Luckily, Chloe was kind enough to humor her sister and she said with a smile, “Since the food is already


    here, let’s just try it. Come now, everyone. Let me get you a te, Minnie.”


    However, Minerva waved her hand and she turned up her nose at it. “I’m not eating it! What is this? I


    never ate fried rice while I was abroad and I’m not eating it here either!”


    Fed up, James eximed, “If you won’t eat it, we will! Come on, everyone.”


    With that, the Cunninghams each took up their individual tes and began to dole some out for


    themselves.


    As they each took a bite, their eyes lit up.


    “Wow—this is incredible! Chloe, you have to try some!” Helen said with heartfelt awe.


    Half-suspicious and half-trusting, Chloe tasted a bite for herself, upon which she was promptly stunned.
