Various exquisite foods, including seafood, were served to the table by the waiters.
Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely, chatting and laughing, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Chen Xuelin was the only one who couldn't taste the food; the delicious food tasted like wax to him.
Even the Moutai, known for its soy sauce aroma technology, failed to whet his appetite.
The meal is over.
Chen Dong instructed Wolong to go to the hotel front desk to settle the bill and book a few more rooms for the group. He then walked over to Chen Nan and asked him in a low voice.
"Sis, what's wrong with Dad? Did someone make him angry?"
"It's all because of you!"
The thought of being lectured by Xiao Xinyi made Chen Nan's tone turn somewhat unfriendly.
She completely became Chen Dong's scapegoat.
"Blame me?"
Chen Dong was completely confused. What did this have to do with him?
Next, Chen Nan recounted the general events that had transpired.
certainly!
She would never talk about the time Xiao Xinyi spanked her.
No matter what, Chen Nan is a married woman, a grown woman, and she still gets spanked by her own mother.
If this gets out, where will she put her face?
After listening to Chen Nan's story, Chen Dong naturally pictured Xiao Xinyi scolding Chen Nan.
Abandoned wife?
Chen Dong almost burst out laughing when he thought of that word.
It's amazing that my older sister could come up with this idea.
However, it's time to be honest with my parents.
"You're still laughing? I hate you so much!"
Chen Nan pouted; she felt incredibly wronged. This brat of a brother actually dared to mock her.
"Hahaha......"
Chen Dong laughed out loud, put one hand on Chen Nan's shoulder, and said with a smile.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault. I'll have Annie take you to pick out some clothes later as an apology."
"That's more like it!"
Chen Nan's lips curled up, and there was no trace of grievance left. Her pretty face clearly showed the word "cunning".
Chen Dong was well aware of this, so how could his older sister really be angry with him?
The siblings have had a very close relationship since childhood, and Chen Nan has taken the blame for Chen Dong more than once or twice.
Chen Dong took over this body and inherited the original memories deep within his heart.
Otherwise, the siblings' genuine emotions would never have been expressed so naturally.
What are your plans regarding your parents?
"Don't worry, I came back this time to resolve this matter."
Chen Dong spoke with certainty, exuding a strong sense of self-confidence.
Confidence is contagious, and Chen Nan was no exception.
Chen Dong's strong confidence reassured her a lot.
Times are changing, and ideas are progressing.
More and more people are finding that they can't connect with people who are more than 10 years older or younger than them.
This is the generational gap!
The most representative example is the detailed analysis of people born in these eras.
People born in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the time span is not that large.
A generation is defined as 20 years, referred to as the 1940s and 50s, and the 1960s and 70s.
However, by the 1980s, the time span had narrowed considerably, becoming the post-80s and post-85s generations.
Why is this happening?
This shows that times have progressed and people's minds have become more open.
This results in a shortened time span in thinking.
Just like Chen Dong using modern perspectives to look at the thoughts of people from decades ago.
You would think that people at that time were ignorant and foolish.
However, in that environment, progressive ideas were seen as outliers.
Chen Dong recalled a report that once appeared.
A man with no real skills relied on his smooth talk and some folk remedies he'd somehow acquired to freeload in a small mountain village.
Years have passed, and this man has become the local tyrant of the small mountain village.
The villagers believed him to be a god, a deity sent to save the suffering people.
This man not only incorporated the villagers into his harem, but also turned the village women into his concubines.
They openly began living the life of a local tyrant.
Life here only began to change quietly after it was reported by the news media.
Those deceptive lies were exposed with a single sentence.
Nowadays, few people would believe that you can be cured of an illness simply by praying a couple of times, right?
This is the progress that knowledge brings to people's thinking.
Just like in some countries where people believe that cow urine can cure diseases.
If it were you, would you dare to try it?
......
"Boss, the matter is settled. Here's the bill for the meal."
"Um!"
Chen Dong nodded, not paying any attention to these things, and didn't even bother to glance at the bill.
In Chen Dong's eyes, there really isn't much difference between spending several thousand yuan on a meal and spending only a few dozen yuan.
Sometimes, when you have a lot of money, it just becomes a string of numbers.
"This meal must have been expensive. Let me see how much we ate."
Chen Dong may not care about these things, but that doesn't mean Xiao Xinyi doesn't.
People who are used to hardship may have a kind of obsession with money.
Even today, you can still see this in the older generation.
It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, but rather that it's become ingrained in my bones.
"So expensive?"
Even though she was mentally prepared, Xiao Xinyi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw the bill.
They spent over 5,000 yuan on one meal. Did they eat gold or something?
