As they waited for the food, Tate and Minerva busied themselves with taking another round ofphotographs and posting it on Instagram.

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

Without a doubt, it was a genuine product.

After she finished taking photographs, Minerva complained, “Ugh—why isn’t the food here yet? I think weshould 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 platter.

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

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

To her shock, she discovered upon removing the cover that it was a platter 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 maincourse 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-calledfamous chef from China is serving us? You’ve got to be joking! Who serves a platter of egg fried rice like

it’s fine dining? Looks like your establishment isn’t as classy 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 dishesof 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 she complained, “Stop boasting! How could a platter of egg friedrice 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 becauseyou’re covering our expenses by serving us a platter of egg fried rice as the main course, so that you canchase us away once we’re done? If you’re that hard-pressed to cover an entire meal, stop saying you’llcover 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 platter of egg fried rice isspecial!”

Scowling, Jonah answered, “However special it may be, it’s still a platter of egg fried rice. It’s very rude ofthat 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 were complaining that it wasn’t good enough for them. Howshameless can they be?

Luckily, Chloe was kind enough to humor her sister and she said with a smile, “Since the food is alreadyhere, let’s just try it. Come now, everyone. Let me get you a plate, Minnie.”

However, Minerva waved her hand and she turned up her nose at it. “I’m not eating it! What is this? Inever ate fried rice while I was abroad and I’m not eating it here either!”

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

With that, the Cunninghams each took up their individual plates and began to dole some out forthemselves.

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.
