Chapter 25
Cheng Cheng, who received the message, agreed: "I'm in Anhui now. I've already bought a plane ticket and will be back tomorrow morning." He also added a pleading expression, asking Ke Xin to help look after Sister Wang.
Ke Xin sent an OK and looked up. Sister Wang's eyes were shining, she was gnawing on a chicken leg, and from time to time she stuffed a large piece of fried squid with green peppers into her mouth.
"Sister Wang, is that enough? Do you want another chicken leg?" Ke Xin calmed down, pushed a plate of chicken wings and asked.
"Uh uh uh, enough, enough," Sister Wang's cheeks were puffed up so much that her words were slurred.
Ke Xin suddenly felt that she had no appetite at all. This feeling was shared by two people, the first being her ex-mother-in-law Liu Pei.
It's true that not everyone can live together like this. Ke Xin was just thinking about this when Sister Wang wiped the corners of her greasy mouth and chuckled, "Here, don't you want to eat it?"
Ke Xin and Bao Bao shook their heads at the same time, then said politely, "I've already eaten a lot!"
"Okay, okay, since you don't want to eat it, I'll pack it up. Hehe, it will be just for this meal tonight!" After Sister Wang said that, she quickly put all the barbecue on the table into a plastic bag.
When the two were saying goodbye, Chengcheng popped up another message, suggesting that Kexin hide the content she had just sent.
Ke Xin held her forehead and immediately clicked to hide the video. But even so, public opinion on the Internet was huge. If she could see the video, it was possible that people around Sister Wang could see it as well.
To be on the safe side, Ke Xin decided to be a bad guy. After saying goodbye to Sister Wang, Ke Xin found Little Ball rummaging through cans next to the trash can.
"Look, look, if you don't study hard and don't eat well, your fate will be like this little boy, looking for food in the trash can!" A parent passing by pulled his son and pointed in the direction of the small ball and started scolding him.
What's more, even Baobao, who was standing next to him, shrank his neck.
Little Ball was not surprised at all. He just glanced at them and continued to rummage through the trash can. Then he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Ke Xin pulling Bao Bao towards him. He scratched the back of his head helplessly, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
Ke Xin half-knelt and greeted, "Little Ball, would you like to go to the playground with Auntie?"
"Me," the little ball pointed at his nose in disbelief.
"Yeah," Ke Xin smiled gently, and the maternal glow on her body instantly captivated the little ball, and the mood that was close to collapse seemed to be soothed.
He nodded without hesitation, thinking to himself, both his stepmother and biological mother said that children should not go with strangers, but the people who claimed to be doing good for him let him wander the streets like an orphan without enough food.
The beautiful aunt whom he had only met a few times would give him delicious food, take him to the amusement park, and give him a gentle smile. He was too addicted to this feeling, so addicted that even if Aunt Ke Xin wanted to kidnap him, he would accept it. This was what he thought at the moment.
He followed Ke Xin all the way to the taxi and watched her gently comforting Bao Bao. Bao Bao was like a flower being watered. In his eyes, there was endless envy and confusion.
His mother had treated him the same way before, and the more he thought about it, the more sour his eyes became.
The hot sky raised a cloud of dust on the road, and pedestrians covered their mouths and noses and quickened their pace. Today's sky was particularly blue, and the clouds were of various shapes, each one fuller than the other, forming a strong contrast with the noisy pedestrians on the road.
The nanny car soon arrived at a magnificent hotel. He had never been to such a high-end hotel. In his impression, only princes among kings would come to such a place.
Little Ball clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and followed Ke Xin with a vigilant and dull look on his face. He was terrified, fearing that the staff would immediately drive him away in the next second.
Ke Xin booked a two-room family hotel and used the black card Fu Xuan gave her. The ticket price of eight thousand yuan made Xiao Piqiu's eyes widen.
"Little Ball, are you hungry? Do you want me to take you to eat something first?" Ke Xin gently reached out and took Little Ball's hand, speaking in a gentle voice.
The little boy's eyes were darting around, but Aunt Ke Xin's fragrance and the delicate hand she extended to him made him feel at ease.
He immediately reached out to take it and said dully, "I'm not hungry. I just had some sugar water!"
The temperature in the hotel is just right, and there's a faint scent of jasmine in the air. People who are scorching under the scorching sun will feel their backs straighten a little once they step into this magnificent place.
The little ball's originally timid shoulders and neck relaxed a lot as the melodious piano music in the lobby began to play.
Baobao took the tea handed by the waiter with ease and said thank you generously. Inside the room, the first thing he saw was a living room filled with children's toys. Little Ball looked left and right like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and couldn't help but exclaiming in his heart: So this is the life of rich people!
Ke Xin took a video of the cake on the table and Little Ball playing in the play area and sent it to Sister Wang: "Sister Wang, my friend booked a hotel and can't use it anymore. I thought it would be a waste not to use it. It costs over 8,000 yuan a night. So I brought Little Ball and Bao Bao to enjoy the buffet and the play area. By the way, we can also use the air conditioning. Do you want to come?"
The other party quickly replied: "Oh my god, more than 8,000 a night, wait a minute, I'll be there soon!"
Soon, Sister Wang rushed into the hotel with her son.
As soon as she entered the room, she looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She looked left and right, and asked with a look of surprise, "Um, can I stay here with my son for one night?"
Ke Xin nodded: "Of course, it's a waste not to stay here. We have two rooms, so we can just treat it as a vacation, right?"
After some polite words, Sister Wang hit the mark. She smiled from ear to ear and after throwing her son into the play area, she quickly took out her cell phone and started taking 180-degree photos in all directions.
It seemed like something was missing just taking pictures. When Sister Wang learned that there was unlimited supply of snacks and fruits, she immediately asked the waiter to deliver more than a dozen servings to her door.
When the waiter opened the door to deliver the fruit and snacks, Sister Wang cleared her throat and said with her neck stiffened: "Okay, just put it on the table. Oh, and sweep up the garbage next to it too!"
The sudden contemptuous tone made the waiter stunned for a moment. After looking around, he silently cleaned up the table according to Sister Wang's instructions.
Ke Xin turned away with a red face, and really wanted to find a place to hide.
"Le Le, come on, these snacks are precious, come and eat more," Sister Wang said to her son, taking him by the hand.
"Mom, these are all mine, you can't eat them!" Lele took the cake handed over by Sister Wang and scolded the little ball as usual.
The little ball shrank its shoulders and remained silent as usual without responding.
"It's all yours, ah, it's all yours!" Sister Wang quickly comforted.
Only then did Lele start eating with peace of mind.
Turning around, Sister Wang suddenly thought of something and turned to Ke Xin and said, "Ke Xin, this hotel is nice, but using over 8,000 yuan is such a waste. If I could sell it to someone else and make over 7,000 yuan, I could go anywhere with that!"
Ke Xin said with an apologetic smile, "Sister Wang, you are so smart. You think the same as me. It's just that the time is too short. It's too late."
Sister Wang's face showed a trace of regret. "That's right, since it has all been used up, there will be a buffet later in the evening. I must eat a lot and make up for it." She immediately rolled up her sleeves and spoke with a look of fighting to the end.
Very good, this is exactly the effect I want. Ke Xin thought that as long as she could hold on until tomorrow morning and not let her realize that something was wrong, living a life of drunkenness and dreams would be the best delaying tactic.
Ke Xin smiled and said, "Of course, not only today, but tomorrow's breakfast is also included. You can eat as much as you want these two days!"
Sister Wang's eyes flashed with greed as she asked, "Can we have more people? I want to invite all my friends and family over to eat."
Ke Xin quickly waved her hands and said with a smile, "The hotel is controlling the number of guests and can't add any more people!"
Sister Wang glanced maliciously at the little ball out of the corner of her eye, muttering, "You bastard, you've had a treat. After you eat this, I'll make you starve for a few days when I get home!"
The buffet is located in the hotel lobby, where the breeze is moderate and the air is filled with the scent of jasmine. Inside the revolving door, you can see a small artificial pond with carp swimming slowly in it. The setting of the artificial lake is both exquisite and ornamental.
The parent who was playing with his child saw how cute Baobao was and took the feed in his hand to feed the fish together with Baobao.
Baobao was now in a good mood. He pulled the little ball and threw the fish feed into the pond with great interest. Suddenly, a fish as big as a fist opened its mouth and rushed out of the water to grab the food with other fish.
Little Ball took the feed that Bao Bao handed over and threw it to the fish like they did, thinking that the fish had a better life than him.
As soon as Sister Wang came in, she took out her cell phone and took pictures everywhere. Ke Xin secretly informed Cheng Cheng while following Sister Wang to the buffet.
After all, this is the most prosperous hotel in City A. There are many delicious foods in the buffet that Sister Wang has never seen before. Soon, she has filled the entire table and started eating.
Ke Xin moved some lobster meat and cake to the children's play area for the children to play and eat at the same time.
Beneath the peaceful atmosphere lies a hidden storm.
Ke Xin took a video of Xiaopiqiu eating crayfish and sent it to Chengcheng. In the video, Xiaopiqiu looked over to see if Sister Wang was around from time to time, looking very cautious. It felt like he was eating this meal stealthily.
Seeing this, Bao Bao pushed the cake in front of him and said, "Little Ball, try this cake. It's delicious!"
"Yeah," the little ball nodded.
After a satisfying meal, Sister Wang's eyes fell on the bathtub leaning against the French window. She said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. I can take a bath here tonight and watch some TV." As she spoke, Sister Wang looked at the bustling neon lights outside the French window with an intoxicated look on her face. She kept "tsk tsk tsk" and occasionally complained, "I can't even stay in such a luxurious hotel for my wedding." Then, her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked towards Ke Xin, "I didn't expect your friend to be able to book such a nice hotel so easily. What kind of job does your friend have? Does he need to run errands?"
