"No, no, I'll go home and eat. Thank you, grandma." Guan Xiaorui felt a little embarrassed and quickly refused.
It’s not that she didn’t want to stay for dinner. The Shen family was so rich now, and the food must be very good, but she just felt embarrassed.
"Why? The food is ready, and we don't mind adding an extra pair of chopsticks. Don't say anything else. Just because you gave us eggs, we have to treat you to a meal." Old Mrs. Shen invited warmly.
Fubao also said, "Yes, since grandma said so, you should stay for dinner."
Guan Xiaorui hesitated for two seconds, but couldn't refuse, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, Fubao, thank you in advance."
"What are you thanking me for? Didn't I just tell you? We're deskmates, no need to be so polite."
Fubao's words caught Shen Jiangang's attention.
What did she say? This poor-looking girl is her deskmate?
This means that the relationship between the two of them should be very good. If... I win over this poor girl and let her trick Fubao out, will it work?
Shen Jiangang immediately thought this was a good idea. As a poor girl, he didn't believe she wouldn't be tempted by money. As long as he gave her some benefits, she would definitely be of great use!
Thinking of this, he became secretly excited and had an idea in his mind.
Guan Xiaorui was very sensitive. She quickly noticed Shen Jiangang's gaze towards her and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Why was this man staring at her?
Moreover, that look seemed to have bad intentions, and she couldn't help but be alert. But she felt that there seemed to be nothing about her that could attract his attention. She was not particularly beautiful, and she didn't have money. So, it was really a bit strange.
Old Mrs. Shen cooked a big braised chicken, enough for the whole family. When she brought it out, the aroma filled the whole room, making people drool.
Guan Xiaorui swallowed when she saw the tempting golden chicken.
Although her uncle's family did not stop her from eating, they only cooked a fixed amount of food every time, and they had simple meals every day. Except during the Chinese New Year or her cousins' birthdays, there would be no big fish or meat. She and her brother often did not have enough to eat, but they dared not say anything.
But the Shen family is so nice. At noon, they had a table full of delicious fish and meat, five or six dishes in total, mostly meat dishes. Fubao was so happy.
Guan Xiaorui ate her fill and was very satisfied. She kept thanking the old couple.
She deliberately put the chicken leg that Old Lady Shen gave her into her bag, intending to take it back for her brother to eat. It must be said that the braised chicken made by Old Lady Shen was really delicious. This was a delicacy that she had rarely eaten since she was a child.
It would be great if I could eat it every day. But now, I still have to think for a long time before buying a tea egg, and I have to save money before I can afford it.
After finishing the meal, Old Man Shen cleared his throat, looked at Fu Bao who was sitting opposite him with a particularly kind look, and said to her, "In two days it will be our daughter's fourteenth birthday. What gift do you want this year?"
Only then did Fubao remember that his birthday was coming.
When she was in heaven, she never celebrated her birthday because she had no idea when she was born and the old lucky star never told her, so the matter was left unresolved.
But after being reborn into the Shen family, she can celebrate her birthday every year, and the Shen family never forgets it.
