To be honest, even Butler Wu was startled, thinking to himself, "Could it be Western food? Oh no!"

Xie Li is from the countryside; she's probably never eaten Western food before. She probably doesn't even know how to use a knife and fork. I hope she doesn't embarrass herself!

He wanted to quietly get close to Xie Li to give him a heads-up, but Xie Li showed no awareness of being a guest at all, and followed the boy at the front, acting carefree and unruly.

Butler Wu followed behind, frowning as he watched.

Seeing this, Butler Xu smiled and said, "Miss Xie Li is truly generous and magnanimous."

Butler Wu gave an awkward laugh, taking it as a polite remark.

After thinking for a moment, she politely said to Butler Xu, "Miss Xie Li comes from a small town, so she may lack some manners and etiquette. Please forgive her."

They specifically mentioned Xie Li's background, since he's being so polite now, it's better to clarify things sooner rather than later. After all, neighbors who have lived together for a long time will find out about these things eventually.

After all, wealthy and powerful families have many rules, and their interactions with each other are based on family background, upbringing, and manners.

Although Xie Li was the biological son of his wife and husband, he grew up in the countryside and picked up many crude and vulgar habits.

Such a vulgar person was treated as an honored guest by an unsuspecting wealthy family. If they minded it, wouldn't they be disgusted to death afterwards?

When Butler Wu saw Butler Xu's surprised expression, he understood what was going on. Sure enough, this family was completely unaware of the situation.

He felt extremely embarrassed.

Xie Li had already sat down at the dining table.

Butler Wu's heart tightened and then relaxed. He was tight because Xie Li, who came from a shady background, really dared to think he was something special and showed no respect whatsoever. He relaxed because it was Chinese food, not Western food, so he wasn't worried about Xie Li making a fool of himself in terms of etiquette.

The dishes were served one after another, making Butler Wu's eyes widen. He also recognized from the logo on the chef's uniform that it was Baiweige Restaurant in Linjiang City.

That's a top-notch private restaurant in Linjiang City, a place that even wealthy people can't easily get to eat at!

He took the opportunity to sneak up next to Xie Li, nudged her, and whispered a reminder: "Miss Xie Li, please be mindful of your manners while eating!"

Don't act like you've never seen the world before, indulging in delicious food and making a complete fool of the Xie family.

He thought he was speaking very softly, but to his surprise, Old Master Xu's ears twitched, and he seemed somewhat displeased.

"Are you teaching her how to do things? Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy?"

Butler Wu: "???"

He was completely bewildered, wondering if he had misheard, when Butler Xu smiled and grabbed him, saying, "There are people serving you here, let's go down and eat ours."

After Butler Wu followed Butler Xu away.

Grandpa Xu immediately put on a smiling face: "Lili, feel free to eat whatever you like, I don't follow any rules here!"

Xie Li: "..."

Although I come from the countryside, I'm not stupid!

Judging from the dishes, the order in which they were served, and the etiquette of the servants, one can tell that this is the ancient etiquette that Shen Tiezhu mentioned, which is only observed by truly prestigious and distinguished families.

It is tedious and complicated, but in its movements it is dignified, clear and pleasing to the eye.

Xie Li looked at the young man beside him. The young man sat upright and had elegant manners. Combined with his exquisite face, it was almost as if time and space were out of control.

She held her breath and carefully followed the instructions, mimicking the movements quite well.

Old Master Xu, who was pretending to be uncouth as he picked up his chopsticks and ate with gusto, was speechless.

No, what's wrong with you two young people? You're making him sound like some kind of bandit.

Grandpa Xu awkwardly stopped what he was doing, looking rather sullen. He had originally intended to take the opportunity to serve Xie Li some food, but now he couldn't make any rash moves.
