Shi Yao thought to himself that these two were really shrewd people, and they got all the benefits. Even his aunt would suffer if she went up against them.
"Speak!" The middle-aged man raised his hand again when Shi Yao did not respond for a long time.
Shi Yao shrank back and quickly said, "Let's go, let's go to Yuexiang Restaurant now."
The four of them entered Yuexiang Restaurant. The middle-aged couple ordered food as if it were free, ordering non-stop.
Shi Yao himself had never dined at Yuexiang Restaurant; he had only eaten there a few times thanks to He Qinqin.
Now, the thought that spending money here is tantamount to giving money to the Si Group makes him furious.
Shi Yao's voice trembled: "Uncle and Aunt, let's not order too much, it's a waste of food."
The middle-aged woman immediately asked the waiter for 10 takeout boxes.
"If I can't finish the food on the table, I'll pack it up and take it with me. That's not a waste of food."
Shi Yao felt a pang of heartache; each takeout box cost two yuan, and a whole box of them cost 20 yuan.
The dishes were all served. There were 12 dishes for the four people. The middle-aged man also ordered a bottle of good wine. If he couldn't finish it, he would fill his own water bottle and take it with him. Shi Yao didn't get a single sip.
During the meal, Shi Yao tried to find a chance to escape, but the mentally challenged son brought by the middle-aged woman kept pulling him and wanting to play games with him.
Moreover, he was incredibly strong, like a bull, and he held onto Shi Yao, refusing to let him leave.
The family of three ate and drank their fill.
"Hello, the total cost is 2,236 yuan."
The cashier came over with the POS machine, and Shi Yao slowly and heavily took out his bank card.
The cashier naturally recognized Shi Yao. Miss He had brought Shi Yao to eat here several times, and everyone in the restaurant had a deep impression of this gigolo. Every time he came to the restaurant, he would grab a basket of mints from the cashier.
This was the first time she had seen Shi Yao pay for things out of his own pocket.
It took the cashier a while to finally pull the bank card from Shi Yao's hand.
The moment the bank card was swiped through the POS machine, she felt as if she could hear Shi Yao's heart breaking.
After a hearty and satisfying meal, the family of three ate with rosy cheeks, while Shi Yao looked ashen-faced and dejected.
He brought the family of three to the Haicheng West Railway Station Guesthouse.
Shi Yao looked at the fierce-looking middle-aged man and woman opposite him with some fear, and respectfully handed over the room key.
"Uncle, Aunt, please make do with staying here for the next few days."
The middle-aged woman frowned: "You're just going to let us stay in a guesthouse?"
Shi Yao hesitated, "Uncle, my own house is leaking so badly I can't live here anymore, I have nowhere to live now."
"What does that have to do with us?" The middle-aged woman's words left Shi Yao speechless.
"You were able to spend over 2,000 yuan on that couple, which means you have some financial means. You eat so well, but you're letting us stay in this place?"
Shi Yao thought to himself, "Isn't the fact that we're eating well just because you guys forced us to?" The next second, he saw the middle-aged man roll up his sleeves, and he immediately shrank back.
Shi Yao mentally told himself: "Hold on, hold on. As long as this couple takes Li Han away, Qin Qin can go back, and I will soon become the Si family's son-in-law. I can't lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain. It's no big deal to spend a little money now."
He compromised and asked, "Uncle and Aunt, where would you like to stay?"
Anyway, the area around Haicheng West Station is the old town area, and the hotel prices aren't particularly high-end, so I can accept them.
"Isn't there a Maple Leaf Hotel on the way here? It sounds like a pretty fancy name. Let's go with this one."
Shi Yao breathed a sigh of relief; the Maple Leaf Hotel wasn't the most expensive in the area.
Upon arriving at the Maple Leaf Hotel, Shi Yao glanced at his silly son following behind the couple. This time, Shi Yao had learned his lesson and let the couple make their own request: "Uncle and Aunt, how would you like the rooms arranged?"
The middle-aged man spoke up: "Let's get two deluxe twin rooms."
Shi Yao asked in confusion, "Two twin rooms?"
"My wife and I share a room, and you and my son share a room."
"Didn't you say your house was leaking and uninhabitable?"
The middle-aged man had been so domineering for so long, but now he showed a bit of kindness to Shi Yao, and Shi Yao suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.
He immediately stopped himself from having this idea, realizing he was being manipulated.
This middle-aged man treated me so badly, and now that he's being a little nicer to me, I'm overjoyed. Human nature is truly terrifying.
I'm usually the one manipulating others, but I never expected to almost fall for it myself this time.
"Okay, let's arrange it that way then."
After checking in, Shi Yao took two room keys and led the family of three upstairs.
The middle-aged woman yawned and said to Shi Yao, "Alright, you're tired enough today. Your attitude today is quite good. Tell us what you need us to do tomorrow."
Shi Yao breathed a sigh of relief; the two large Buddha statues were finally settled.
"Um, what's your name, son?" Shi Yao looked at his silly son in his room who kept grinning foolishly.
The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently: "Just don't call him an idiot. My son is very well-behaved. You don't need to call him that. Let him play by himself. He'll go to sleep when he's tired. Don't disturb his rest."
After closing the door, Shi Yao prepared to tidy up and go to sleep; he had been thoroughly exhausted today.
He looked in the mirror in the hotel bathroom and saw that the slap mark on his handsome face had not yet faded.
But just then, the tall, big, simple-minded son burst into the bathroom: "Pee, I need to pee, hehehe..."
The silly son pulled down his pants with lightning speed, and instead of facing the toilet, he peed all over Shi Yao.
"ah!!!"
Shi Yao let out a miserable scream.
"Hehehe, play with me~~"
The night is still long.

The next morning.
Jinghe Hospital.
He Qinqin received the remittance from the program team for her appearance fee and advertising fees, totaling 210,000 yuan after tax, and she couldn't stop smiling.
For her in the past, 210,000 yuan was just a small amount of money to buy a bag, but now it's a lifesaver for her, who is heavily in debt and has maxed out her credit cards.
He Qinqin quickly paid off her overdue credit card and felt much more at ease. Ever since last week, when she kept receiving calls urging her to pay the overdue credit card bill, He Qinqin had been feeling uneasy.
After paying off the principal and late fees, Hua Yu looked at the balance in his bank card and sighed that even ordinary guests could earn so much; he wondered how much celebrities could earn.
Being in the entertainment industry can earn you much more than being a journalist.
He Qinqin began to think about how to make money and increase her popularity after quitting the show.
Just then, Shi Yao, sporting dark circles under his eyes, returned carrying his packed bedding. "Qinqin, I'll sleep on the floor here with you tonight."
He Qinqin was overjoyed: "Shi Yao, you don't need to go to so much trouble. I'm not that sick."
Shi Yao shook his head, "I'm afraid my little princess won't sleep well at night if she's alone."
