Last life, Lu Zhixia was schemed against by her scumbag husband's family until she was completely drained. The outwardly gentle husband secretly hoarded a huge amount of savings, and her obedie...
"I can finish it!" Gu Huailin said confidently. "I definitely can finish it!"
The sight was so adorable that it charmed several people. After laughing, Lu Zhixia told the waiter, "Listen to him, bring a large portion of beef wontons, then a large portion of pork and seafood wontons, and a small portion of wontons for the old man."
"Okay!" The waiter took notes and then turned to leave.
Gu Huailin was afraid they wouldn't believe him, so he continued, "I really can eat a big portion, I'm so hungry!"
Gu Lingxiao said, "Then don't force yourself. Just say so if you can't eat!"
Gu Huailin obediently nodded in agreement. He had high expectations for the wontons at this restaurant because his classmate had said that they were the best.
Soon, the waiter brought over the cooked wontons; the small portion was alright, with about ten wontons.
The large portion of wontons contained nearly 30 wontons, served in the largest bowl, taking up a huge amount of space on the table.
Seeing how big the bowl was, Gu Huailin exclaimed, "Wow, this bowl is huge!"
“That’s why I got you a small bowl. We’ll only take as much as we can eat!” Lu Zhixia scooped wontons for her son with a spoon and then placed the bowl in front of him. “Eat up! We can help you with what you can’t finish!”
Gu Huailin happily picked up a spoon to eat the wontons, but after taking the first bite, he felt that the taste was just so-so, not as delicious as he had imagined. The soup, however, was quite tasty. It seemed that what his classmate said wasn't entirely true.
Gu Lingxiao noticed that other tables had cold dishes, so he went to ask the waiter for some.
Lin Hongzhi and his driver walked into the restaurant and saw that it was almost full. He was about to leave and go to another restaurant when he turned around and saw people sitting in the corner.
The girl's profile looked familiar, so I walked over without hesitation. When I saw her face, I was completely stunned.
This girl looks just like Tong Shuyao!
They are practically identical, except for the clothes she's wearing.
The driver noticed something was wrong with the factory manager, so he gently nudged his shoulder.
Lin Hongzhi then realized what had happened, turned around and hurriedly left, needing to process everything he had just witnessed.
Gu Lingxiao brought the plates back, placed them on the table, and said to them,
"Luckily we arrived early, there are no seats left now."
Lu Zhixia tasted a bite of the cold dish on the plate. "It tastes good, it's sweet and sour, quite delicious!"
Gu Lingxiao said, "I specifically instructed that the cold dishes should be mixed with a sweet and sour flavor!"
Lu Zhixia put some food on the child's plate, and then put a few pieces on the grandfather's plate.
Grandpa Bai tasted it, then took a sip of the wonton soup before speaking to them.
"Compared to Xiaxia's cold dishes, it's still a bit lacking, but it's still quite delicious."
"Grandpa, you're so good at praising people!" Lu Zhixia said with a smile.
Gu Lingxiao looked up and saw Lin Hongzhi flash by; he was walking very fast.
Considering what happened during the day, it's not surprising that he showed up.
Lin Hongzhi walked to the end of the road in one breath, and only then did the feeling of fear and oppression dissipate.
"What's wrong, factory manager?" the driver asked.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly lost my appetite. Let's go back!" Lin Hongzhi said, walking towards the parking lot.
The driver scratched his head, feeling puzzled. It seemed the factory manager had just met with some important person and then left in a hurry.
He couldn't help but look at the state-owned hotel. He hadn't seen any familiar faces. Who exactly had the factory director met?
Lin Hongzhi sat in the car with his eyes closed, and he saw the girl sitting in the restaurant eating, her every smile and gesture exactly like Tong Shuyao's.
"How could there be someone so similar in the world?" he suddenly thought.
If their daughter were still alive, would she look exactly like this?
Then he remembered that Tong Shujia had told him that her child died at birth.
Did she hide something?
He wasn't by Tong Shuyao's side when she gave birth. When he returned, all he found was a grave.
Thinking back to the scene when the two parted, he almost cried his eyes out.
"Alright, we've arrived!" the driver said.
Lin Hongzhi then snapped out of his reverie, opened the car door, got out, took a few steps, turned back to the driver, and said...
"Don't tell anyone what happened today. Remember to keep your mouth shut!"
The driver quickly said, "Don't worry, factory manager, I will definitely not tell anyone."
Lin Hongzhi quickly returned to his residence, unlocked the door with his key, and quickly turned on the light. Before he could even close the door, he hurriedly went to the bedside, opened the drawer, and took out the photo frame.
That was the only photo of the two of them together. Looking at the person in the photo and the girl in the restaurant, their appearances overlapped and they looked like the same person.
