The words had barely left his mouth.
Chen Xuelin remained silent, glanced at Xiao Xinyi, and the latter nodded.
Just as the waiter walked out the door.
Xiao Xinyi's smile faded, and she spoke gently.
"Chen Nan, come out with Mom for a bit, I need to ask you something."
"oh!"
Chen Nan responded, still wondering what it was about.
Outside the private room.
At the end of the corridor, in the stairwell leading to the emergency exit, Xiao Xinyi asked with a smile.
"Chen Nan, tell me honestly, with seafood, liquor, and such a high-end hotel, how much did this meal cost?"
"How would I know? But it must be a few thousand yuan, Mom. What's wrong?"

"Mom, please stop hitting me. I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"
"I just wanted to give my parents some good food."
Xiao Xinyi let go of her hand, glared at her fiercely, and felt a pang in her heart, her tone softening instantly.
"It's not that I'm criticizing you, but we're family, why are you being so polite?"
"Besides, don't I know your own limitations? Did you earn this money?"
"You're spending money so recklessly. Lin Zhiyuan may not say anything to you on the surface, but what do you think he's thinking? Nobody's money grows on trees."
