"Trying to freeload off me on my birthday?"
She glanced at them, then looked down at her phone.
In the nearly two years since she moved out, the Gu couple have felt that their daughter has changed a lot.
She used to be timid and obedient.
Sometimes when I work at a Western restaurant, I have to hand over my salary.
Unlike now, they won't even treat them to a meal.
The people opposite them ignored them, and the couple exchanged a glance.
Finally, Madam Gu spoke up, "Ni Chang, we're family after all."
"It's your birthday today, so let's not talk about money."
These days, which young person doesn't use WeChat or Alipay when they go out? If she forgets to bring cash, aren't there other options?
Mrs. Gu glanced at the phone in her hand, seemingly casually.
When Rong Shang received the gaze directed at her, she curled her lips into a sneer.
They knew what Madam Gu was planning.
Rong Shang didn't want to promise her anything.
She nodded, put her phone back on the table, and said, "Okay, let's order."
"Good, good, good." Madam Gu was delighted upon hearing this.
She raised her chin and gestured to the middle-aged man beside her, her smug expression clearly saying, "See, I still have to step in!"
Rong Shang didn't even glance at it.
Afterwards, the waiter came over, and Rong Shang ordered two items as a token gesture.
Once the menu was taken to the other side of the street, the couple acted as if they hadn't eaten for days and nights, ordering everything and wanting double portions of everything.
They do it like it's free.
Rong Shang didn't stop her. She picked up the warm water on the table and took a sip, her eyes sparkling slightly.

In the evening, Bei Mo posted an update on her WeChat Moments.
But he didn't mention her birthday at all.
There wasn't even a single phone call.
The system has always been curious.
Why doesn't Bei Mo seem angry at all, given what he did?
They even have the leisure to eat with the original owner's parents.
During the meal, Mrs. Gu couldn't resist gossiping a bit.
"Ni Chang, it's your birthday today, why isn't your boyfriend here with you?"
laugh.
Rong Shang looked up and glanced at her. "Didn't you let me out?"
“Uh!” Madam Gu was speechless. “Then you can have him come along too.”
Madam Gu glanced at Master Gu, only to be glared at in return.
Feeling annoyed, she simply stopped saying a word.
She didn't say it, but Master Gu did.
"No, what's going on between you two?" Old Master Gu asked, picking at the abalone in his bowl. "Haven't you been talking for a long time? Are you really planning to keep it this way—"
"Can we break up?"
These two are so gossipy, it's making Rong Shang feel annoyed even while eating a meal.
She said that on purpose, and the expressions on the faces of her in-laws across from her changed drastically.
"No, this won't do."
While wiping her mouth with a tissue, Madam Gu said, "You've been with him for so long, wouldn't it be a loss to break up now?"
With such a good family background, and now being a famous painter all over the country, money is the last thing he lacks.
Rong Shang was focused on eating, and she treated the two people opposite her talking back and forth as just noise.
After listening to the rambling for about fifteen minutes, Rong Shang put down her chopsticks and took a tissue from the table to wipe her mouth.
"I'm full, do you want more?"
"..."
"No." Madam Gu frowned as she picked her teeth. "You really should think this through. Don't let this easy opportunity slip away."
They should at least ask for a breakup fee of several million.
