Xia Jianing swallowed her saliva. She was already a little hungry, and when she saw the dishes being served, she picked up the chopsticks immediately.
During this period, Guan Zherui was deliberately tormenting her. She often went hungry and had alternate meals. Xia Jianing could hardly eat any of the welfare vegetables distributed by the unit that Xia Guokang brought back. She could only eat some rice mixed with seasonings.
Looking at the delicious meal in front of her, Xia Jianing couldn't wait to pick up a shrimp with chopsticks. She didn't even have time to peel the shell. She stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it hastily. Then she picked up another piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth.
Bai Lulu was also stuffing food into her mouth. Although she lived in the Shen family, the nannies in the Shen family looked down on her. Bai Qianqian and her daughter didn't pay much attention to her. She could only eat the leftovers of the nanny to barely fill her stomach.
Now seeing these delicious foods, there is no reason for her not to eat them!
Wu Zhuo was already angry and had no place to vent. Seeing this, she sneered and said sarcastically, "Girls from humble backgrounds are not presentable. You two have been hungry for a few days. Why do you eat like refugees and beggars on the street?"
Wu Yu had originally taken the opportunity to quietly observe Xia Shige's favorite dishes and flavors, but when he heard Wu Zhuo say this, he frowned and reminded her, "Sister! Don't talk nonsense!"
Bai Lulu's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. She continued to eat with her head down, as if she didn't hear Wu Zhuo's ridicule.
Xia Jianing's face turned red. She was thin-skinned to begin with, and after hearing Wu Zhuo's ridicule, her chopsticks were still sticking out in the air, so she could only withdraw her hand awkwardly.
Xia Shige glanced at Wu Zhuo indifferently and asked, "Eat when you're hungry. Is there any problem?"
Wu Zhuo said with disdain, "You girls from small families are really ignorant. Don't you even know basic dining etiquette? This is a five-star hotel, not a fly-infested restaurant near your home! Look at the way you eat. I'm really afraid that you will make me, your tablemate, laugh at you."
After hearing what Wu Zhuo said, Wu Yu secretly said something unpleasant in his heart.
He glanced at Xia Shige secretly, and saw a hint of anger between Xia Shige's cold eyebrows, so he said to Wu Zhuo anxiously: "Sister! Don't talk like that!"
After Wu Yu finished speaking, he looked at Wu Jiali for help. He hoped that Wu Jiali, as his aunt, could take care of Wu Zhuo.
But Wu Jiali just took a sip of the wine glass leisurely, and then she said to Xia Shige: "Little girl, high-end occasions require dining etiquette. My niece is just reminding you kindly to prevent you little girls who are not presentable from making a fool of yourself. Don't be ignorant of people's hearts."
Xia Shige sneered when he heard this: "What high-end occasion? You may think this is a very noble place, but in my opinion, it is just a place for eating. It's nothing special."
Wu Zhuo felt a little embarrassed when she heard Xia Shige say this. Compared with Xia Shige's open-mindedness, she seemed to be the one who was not presentable.
So she slammed the table in anger and said to Xia Shige: "How are you different from those refugees out there who can't get enough food when you eat? Refugees should stay where refugees belong. Don't think that you can squeeze into a circle that you shouldn't be in just because of your face."
Wu Zhuo mentioned refugees several times in his words. Xia Shige could no longer bear it. She stared at Wu Zhuo and asked, "Those refugees are poor people struggling in the natural disaster. Don't you think you are ridiculous when you say that about them?"
Wu Zhuo glared at Xia Shige fiercely: "I am ridiculous? I didn't cause those refugees! What does their lack of food have to do with me? I just came from a better family than them, and I can eat in a high-end hotel while they are starving. What's wrong with me?!"
Xia Shige shook her head. She looked at Wu Zhuo and answered seriously, "Of course you are of noble birth. Queen Marie of France was of even nobler birth. She was gentle and kind. When she was sent to the guillotine, she even apologized for stepping on the executioner's foot. She just likes to eat cake. What's wrong with her?"
Wu Zhuo's eyes widened with anger when he heard this: "You! How dare you curse me like that!"
Facing Wu Zhuo's angry gaze, Xia Shige calmly shook his head: "I just want to remind you that at this moment, people like you should not mess with the refugees you mentioned."
"You made your fortune by taking advantage of ordinary people you looked down upon, charged sky-high medical fees during natural disasters, and now you turn around and laugh at the refugees. Wu Zhuo, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Didn't your noble family teach you such a simple truth?"
Wu Jiali frowned slightly when she heard this. She calmed down Wu Zhuo who was about to stand up and get angry, and said to Xia Shige in a teaching tone: "Little girl, if you are too sharp-tongued, you will not be able to get married."
Xia Shige sneered when he heard this: "If not being able to get married is your blessing, then I accept it, because I really don't want to get married. But if getting married is your only goal in this life, then I also wish you success."
After that, she raised her glass to Wu Zhuo and Wu Jiali and said, "I wish you can achieve your dream of getting married."
