Chapter 32 Xiao Nuan was invited to dinner at the Black Pearl Restaurant, where she encountered Rong Muchen.
Lin Muyan brought her sister to a long-established Black Pearl restaurant. Most of the diners at this restaurant are either rich or noble. Even internet celebrities need to verify their number of followers to get in and take photos.
Lin Muyan, as the daughter of the Shen family, had the opportunity to come here for afternoon tea often and was very satisfied with the dishes.
With the end of the world approaching, Lin Muyan didn't want to mistreat herself. She ate and drank as she pleased, focusing on enjoying herself.
Furthermore, this was the first time she had taken Xiaonuan out to eat. The little one had never been to such a high-end place before. With the end of the world approaching, she was afraid that she would hardly have the opportunity to experience it again in the future, so she might as well take this opportunity to let her enjoy it once.
Looking at the luxurious restaurant, where men and women were all dressed to the nines, Lin Xiaonuan suddenly felt a little intimidated and clung to Lin Muyan's clothes, unable to move.
"Sis, did you bring me here to eat? This place looks really expensive. How about we go to a hole-in-the-wall restaurant instead? I know a really good one. My brother took me there before."
Lin Xiaonuan is young but sensible. She feels sorry for her sister's money and is also a little timid. She doesn't dare to enter such a high-end place and stares longingly at Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan smiled slightly and pulled Lin Xiaonuan inside.
"Don't worry about the money, I'm rich. Just come in with me and order."
Lin Xiaonuan blinked her big eyes, then stopped insisting and happily followed along. The people coming and going made her lower her head, not daring to look around.
She couldn't act like she'd never seen the world before; she had to be proud and not embarrass her sister.
Just then, the receptionist recognized Lin Muyan and quickly walked over.
"Miss Chen, it's been a while since you've been here. Is this your usual spot?"
Upon hearing the other person's address, Lin Muyan was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded, without denying it.
The fact that she's a fake heiress isn't a big deal outside, and it wouldn't cause a stir here. It's normal that the receptionist didn't know.
Let's use Miss Shen's identity for now, otherwise we'll have to explain it all over again, which is quite troublesome.
"Ms. Shen, here is your menu. We've introduced many new dishes while you were away."
The receptionist was very polite, because she knew this was a wealthy heiress and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Lin Muyan handed the menu to Lin Xiaonuan and said:
"Xiao Nuan, order whatever you want. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Lin Xiaonuan quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't know how to order. Sister, you should order. I'm not a picky eater."
Seeing Xiao Nuan's attitude, Lin Muyan didn't force her. She ordered several signature dishes and a few new dishes, making a table full of more than a dozen dishes for the two of them.
"If we can't finish it, we'll pack it up and take it back to our parents."
After leaving the private room, the receptionist couldn't help but think, "That elementary school student called Miss Shen 'sister,' but I remember Miss Shen doesn't have a younger sister. Is she a relative's child?"
The receptionist didn't go around asking questions, after all, people from wealthy families value their privacy and no one likes gossipy people.
After everyone left, Lin Xiaonuan dared to ask in a low voice:
"Sister, did you used to come here often? The food here must be expensive."
Lin Muyan smiled and nodded, but did not tell Lin Xiaonuan the prices of the vegetables here.
A glass of water costs three figures, and the service charge is as high as thousands of yuan. Ordering just two dishes can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan. If Xiaonuan knew this, it might be a blow to the little guy.
[It's so great to be rich! 188 yuan a bottle of plain water, what kind of magic potion is added to it? Does drinking it grant immortality?]
Poverty limits my imagination. Is this the paradise of the rich? Let alone a primary school student like Lin Xiaonuan, even I, a lowly laborer earning ten thousand a month, wouldn't dare step inside. I'm scared, and my wallet is even more scared.
Lin Muyan enjoyed a life of luxury for twenty years, while our Jiaojiao suffered for twenty years. If it weren't for the baby-switching incident, our Jiaojiao would have been living a life of luxury twenty years ago!
【That's right, so I don't sympathize with Lin Muyan at all. Was it really that bad for her to be kicked out of the Shen family? Was it as bad as our Jiaojiao's situation?】
As Lin Muyan treated Lin Xiaonuan to a high-end meal, the live chat couldn't hold back any longer, with viewers jumping out to defend Shen Jiaojiao.
Lin Muyan didn't intend to argue about this; the switch had indeed changed her and Shen Jiaojiao's lives.
But she is also a "victim". Shen Jiaojiao has suffered for twenty years. What does that have to do with her?
Judging from her expression, she's still not convinced. It's all because she and Jiaojiao were born around the same time, and she stole Jiaojiao's status as a rich girl. Now she can still live such a good life; it's truly an injustice!
[Poor Jiaojiao! Her twenty years of pampered life have been stolen, and even her golden shovel has been taken by the fake heiress! Damn God, are you blind? Our Jiaojiao has suffered so much already, and you still don't want to let her off the hook!]
[Jiaojiao is the chosen heroine. It seems that to become the heroine, one must first endure hardship. I'm waiting for Jiaojiao to turn the tables.]
At this point, two camps emerged in the comments: some blindly supported Chen Jiaojiao and vehemently criticized Lin Muyan, while others were more rational.
[Heh, is it something you can choose to be born into? The person who switched the baby is the truly heinous one. Lin Muyan was just an infant then, what could she do?]
[Don't try to excuse her. Just tell me whether she stole Jiao Jiao's status as a wealthy heiress.]
[Jiaojiao is indeed wronged. A well-bred young lady suffered for twenty years in vain. It's an undeserved misfortune, but ultimately, it shouldn't be blamed on Lin Muyan. She left the Shen family on her own initiative, didn't she?]
[Huh? What about the golden shovel? What's going on? She shouldn't have taken Jiaojiao's golden finger!]
Speaking of the golden shovel, I remember it was taken from Lin Muyan's childhood toy box. Ultimately, it should belong to Lin Muyan.
[How dare you! Anyone who dares to help Lin Muyan again, I'll use the internet connection to go there and kill her!]
[...]
As the comments section erupted into a heated argument, Lin Muyan simply smiled and remained silent.
Those who are making the most noise must be feeling powerless right now, unable to reach into the screen.
Haha, let them argue! The more heated the comments are, the better it is for her. They might even reveal some important information so she can know it in advance.
In a way, she should thank these comments, which made her realize things earlier and stop her from getting caught up in the Shen family and her own identity. They also gave her a foresight about the apocalypse.
The dishes were served quickly, and Lin Xiaonuan couldn't wait any longer. As soon as the waiter left the private room, she started showing off her food.
Lin Muyan didn't mind her eating manners. She slowly savored the new food while reminding Xiao Nuan not to choke.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Muyan stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom. You can eat slowly. Order more if you're not full. I can order another portion for Mom and Dad later."
After giving Xiao Nuan her instructions, Lin Muyan had just stepped out of the private room when she heard laughter and playful banter coming from next door. Upon closer listening, she realized it sounded like Rong Muchen and his group of good buddies were having a party.
"Young Master Rong, is it true or false that you have a girlfriend? Is she really a fake heiress who was switched at birth? Are you still planning to propose to her?"
