In the current situation, we can only wait and see. If the two are suitable for each other, Zhang Jingjing will not object just because the other party comes from a poor family.

How many rich people are there these days? We are all ordinary people, but as long as we have good character, know how to work hard, and have the courage to fight, we can be a good partner.

Zhang Jingjing never looks down on ordinary people, nor does she flatter rich people. She has a wide range of friends and is willing to make friends as long as they suit her taste.

When he was about to pay the bill after the meal, he found out that Qiao Honglong had already paid the bill.

The restaurant we are in today is not cheap. This table of dishes will cost at least forty or fifty yuan. Qiao Honglong is a high school student and his family is not particularly well off, so it is not easy for him to come up with so much money.

Zhang Jingjing immediately took out fifty yuan to give him, but Qiao Honglong refused to accept anything. He also said that it was his duty to treat her since it was their first meeting, and asked Zhang Jingjing not to be so polite.

Zhang Jingjing now had a much better impression of Qiao Honglong. After all, this kid was quite smart.

As for the meal money, she would find a way to pay it back later.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Jingjing and Huo Shengnan walked home. Along the way, Huo Shengnan couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of him? Is it okay for me to date him?"

Zhang Jingjing smiled, "It seems fine for now, but after all, we've only met once, so we'll have to wait and see if we're suitable for each other. Since you like me, let's get along first, but you have to remember, if you encounter any confusion, you must tell me as soon as possible. When it comes to judging people, I'm definitely better than you."

Huo Shengnan was very happy to hear this and agreed without hesitation.

What Zhang Jingjing didn't expect was that her sister-in-law found her the next day with a troubled look on her face.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Jingjing was also curious, "What's wrong, Shengnan? Just tell me if you have something to say."

Huo Shengnan sat aside, looking a little worried, and hesitant for a long time before speaking.

"Second sister-in-law, when I went to school today, he started to talk about the money for yesterday's dinner intentionally or unintentionally, saying that he had spent all his living expenses this month and would have to eat steamed buns in the future."

When Zhang Jingjing heard this, she immediately frowned.

"And then, go on."

"Then I felt a little unhappy. After all, you agreed to treat us yesterday, but he insisted on paying and said so many reasonable things. But today he deliberately said these things in front of me. I felt unhappy, but I still returned the fifty yuan to him. In the end..."

Having said that, Huo Shengnan bit her lip and actually hesitated.

Zhang Jingjing had already frowned, "Shengnan, go on, it's okay, sister-in-law won't tell anyone else."

Huo Shengnan then continued, "After I gave him the money, he initially said he didn't want it, but in the end he accepted it. I thought it was okay since his family wasn't well off. I also knew that fifty yuan was not a small amount of money, so I was planning to return it to him. But I didn't expect that after he took the money, he told me not to tell you about it, and that he wanted you to think that he was the one who paid for the meal, otherwise he, as a grown man, couldn't afford to lose face."

Zhang Jingjing's face darkened when she heard this. This little boy is a little bit arrogant. If you don't have money, don't pretend. It's normal for high school students to have no money. Just eat peacefully.

But he insisted on paying the money in order to show off. Zhang Jingjing didn't want to take advantage of the child and thought she would find a way to return it in the next two days, but she didn't expect that he couldn't wait even a day.

Since you want the money back, why pretend to be rich?

The problem is that he wants the money back and still wants her to think that the meal was paid for by him. He is really cunning.

Zhang Jingjing likes smart kids, but he doesn't like kids who are too smart.

That Qiao Honglong seemed to be quite capable and sensible, but I didn't expect him to be so calculating in such matters.

Although it is a small matter, we can often judge a person by the small things he does.

This boy is too scheming and is not suitable for Huo Shengnan.

"Shengnan, what do you think? Tell your second sister-in-law about it."

Huo Shengnan was a little hesitant. After all, she had been dating Qiao Honglong for a while and they were also deskmates, so there must be some feelings between them.

But she was very unhappy about Qiao Honglong's behavior. Living in a big family like the Huo family, Huo Shengnan was naturally sensible.

So she felt that Qiao Honglong's behavior was a bit disgusting, but she couldn't bear it, so she just let it go.

"Second sister-in-law, I think it's not good for him to do this. It makes me a little disgusted, but after all, he is a good person in other aspects, so I can't bear to let him go."

Zhang Jingjing nodded, and then expressed her own opinion.

"I think he is too narrow-minded and calculating at his age, which is not a good sign. Although he is really good to you, Shengnan, you have to think carefully. Can you accept these shortcomings of his? If you get married in the future, can you ignore his sensitivity about money? Second sister-in-law will not tell you what to do, but you have to consider it yourself."

If you are so calculating at such a young age, I'm afraid it will get worse and worse as you get older.

Besides, the Huo family is well-off, so Huo Shengnan is definitely not lacking in material things.

Qiao Honglong's family is not well off, and he has to support his mother in the future. If he keeps fussing about money, life will be a real headache.

Zhang Jingjing is not afraid of people being poor, but she is afraid that the person has evil intentions.

Huo Shengnan thought about it seriously for a long time, then sighed and said, "I also think he did a bad job on this point. He took the money and asked me not to tell you. He didn't spend a penny, but he still wanted to have a good reputation. Sister-in-law, I thought about it carefully. Maybe we are not suitable. I will go and talk to him tomorrow."

Seeing that Huo Shengnan was so open-minded, Zhang Jingjing had nothing to worry about. It was a good thing that the girl was not lovesick.

Otherwise, she might not listen to what her elder said, and end up finding a scumbag, and she would suffer for the rest of her life.

"That's good of you to think so. Second sister-in-law won't force you to make a decision. It's best for you to follow your own heart. Since you yourself feel that it's not suitable, then it must be not suitable. After all, you are in school now, and things like dating are not that important. It's best to stop the loss in time. Just find him tomorrow and explain everything to him. It's not too late to talk about it again when you meet the right person in the future."

Huo Shengnan nodded heavily.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law. If you hadn't suggested having this meal with him, I wouldn't have known he was that kind of person. Don't worry, I definitely won't look for someone like that to be my husband. I want to find a man like my second brother."

At this point, Huo Shengnan realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly fell silent.
