182 Hobbies Other Than Picking up Girls

Charlie immediately patted his chopsticks heavily on the table, “Joseph! Watch your language! Isabella is your girlfriend, and how can you treat her so poorly?”

Joseph immediately lowered his head, “No, grandpa...”

“No matter what, you can’t scold Isabella! She is a little girl living in a place which she isn’t familiar with. How dare you scold her in such a condition?”

Charlie stood up and patted Isabella’s back comfortingly, “Isabella, don’t mind it. Come to grandpa’s room later and I’ll show you something fun.”

He then turned to Joseph and said angrily, “Wash the dishes after dinner. If you bully Isabella again, I will punish you with my stick!”

“Yes, grandpa.”

Joseph stood up and respectfully sent off Charlie while he glanced at Isabella with his peripheral vision.

Isabella rolled her eyes and completely ignored his anger. She walked past Joseph with her head held high and said, “Honey, don’t forget to wash the dishes”, which made Joseph so angry.

With the help of Charlie, Isabella spent the night peacefully.

.....

It was fortunate that Joseph dared not to ask her about what happened in the cloakroom, otherwise, she would feel extremely embarrassed.

The next day at Richmond Arts University.

“I have to prepare someone a birthday present. Do you have any good suggestions?” Isabella asked her friends.

“Male or female?”

“Male.”

“Age?”

“About thirty.”

Jane was surprised, “Wow, Isabella, you finally forgot about Lukas and started to embrace a new future!”

“Then it’s interesting!” David said excitedly, “If you want to give a present to your man, you can try underwear or a belt.”

“No! It’s not reserved!” Jane was full of excitement, “It’s better to give him a rope and teach him to play with that, which is more exciting!”

Isabella was lost for words.

“Is that reserved? Jane, your thought is so lascivious.” David said in disdain.

“You damned sissy! I know men better than you!”

“Jane, you’re bullying him again!”

“Yes, anything wrong?”

Isabella screamed to interrupt their heated discussion.

“Are you two my friends? I don’t have such a relationship with him at all! Please be serious!”

“Not such a relationship?”

Jane immediately lost interest and shrugged, “Then it’s easy. You can send him lighter, collar clip, perfume, and so on.”

“They are not special.”

“Well, they are too expensive,” Isabella confessed in her heart.

“Not special?” David asked, “What is the relationship between you and that man? What is his level of consumption and what does he like?”

Isabella thought for a moment, “The cousin of the family I live with now. He’s rich, and his preferences...”

Isabella paused, only to realize that Joseph seemed to have no interest in anything other than working and picking up girls.

‘Although I hadn’t seen him go to the nightclub after the incident at Empire Entertainment Center due to grandpa’s restrictions, it was not a coincidence that I had met him twice at such places.

Other than that, he seemed to have no other hobbies.

And in the past half a month, he just liked bullying me...’

“Can’t you think of his preferences?”

David gestured in front of Isabella, “Are you talking about a normal man? Smoking, drinking, reading, playing games, music or car? No hobbies?”

“Right! Smoking!”

When David reminded Isabella, she immediately said happily, “He likes smoking!”

“Then it will be easy!”

David searched the Internet on his phone before handing it to Isabella, “Go to the fifth floor of the department store downtown. There is a shop with this symbol, which sells medium-high-end cigarette filters. Less than a hundred were enough to buy one as a practical and high-class present.”

“Great! I’ll buy this one!”

Isabella did not return to the dormitory to take a nap after class. Instead, she went downtown by bus.

The cigarette filter store on the fifth floor was not luxurious, it was very stylish, from which Isabella gained satisfaction.

As David had said, the products here looked exquisite, but not so expensive. It was very suitable for Isabella to prepare a birthday present.

Joseph only used luxury goods. Isabella knew their gap, but she did not want her birthday present for him to be easily thrown away. Moreover, Joseph had helped her a lot recently... So she decided to set the budget between 2000 and 3000.

This was almost half of the total funds she had saved up for four years in university.

Isabella told the salesperson her budget and immediately received the recommendation. Isabella looked at the rows of filters in the glass wardrobe, which was of various styles.

After looking around, she finally fixed her gaze on a separate glass wardrobe.

“Excuse me, this... what material is it?”

“White jade.” The salesperson introduced, “You have good taste. It is not the one with the highest price here, nor is it the most beautiful. However, it is the one with the highest cost-performance ratio.”

Isabella looked at the pure white filter, “Then show me this.”

“No problem.”

The salesperson took out the filter and handed it to Isabella, “It is popular with only one left in our shop. If you want it, you can get a 10% discount.”

“A discount?”

“How much is it then?” Isabella asked in surprise.

“7000.”

Isabella was speechless.

“So it’s out of my budget...”

“Yes.” The salesperson smiled, “It is worth it. Its material is not only good looking but also good for health.”

“I’m sorry. This is too expensive for me. I should take a look at ones within my budget.”

Isabella reluctantly put down the white jade filter, but could not find a suitable one.

In contrast, she felt that the white jade filter was more attractive to her.

“7000...”

Isabella pondered over it repeatedly.

She had never bought such an expensive item. She did not know what material it was made of, nor did she know if it was worth 7000. She just liked it at first sight.
