The hotel was bustling with people coming and going.
The lively little boy Cao Zhile sat on a chair, his little eyes darting left and right, peeking at the expressions of every adult. Finally, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip like the adults: Calm down, calm down.
This kid is so smart, he looks like a little emperor who has the world in his hands.
It was not until the eyes of his uncle opposite him glanced at his face that Cao Zhile's little voice cleared twice.
Cao Yong: How dare you, little kid, hide a secret? How long have you been hiding it?
Cao Zhile: Third Uncle, this is not my fault.
Cao Yong: What secret?
Cao Zhile: I don’t know what secret my mother is hiding. If I knew, I wouldn’t have to ask about Piaoliang.
You said he was just a six-year-old kid, no matter how smart he was, he had never been to a medical school, so he was not a doctor. Besides, there were a lot of doctors in his family, so why blame him for being a kid, right?
...
...
Uncle San, you are curious, and I, Cao Zhile, am also very curious.
The table was too quiet, it felt suffocating.
At this moment, Leng Ruzhen suddenly pulled down her glasses calmly, picked up the menu, called the waiter, and announced, "Let's eat." As if nothing had happened, she asked her third uncle Cao Yong, "What does Doctor Xie like to eat?"
"You're welcome, whatever you want." Xie Wanying responded immediately.
"I just have some preferences." Leng Ruzhen said, while carefully scanning the dishes on the menu.
Others looked at her relaxed expression and her focused eyes on the menu, and they really couldn't see anything unusual, Cao Yong thought.
The waiter came over, picked up a pen, and wrote down the menu specified by the customer.
"Give me a plate of fatty beef, lamb chops, chicken gizzards, and chicken wings." After ordering a row of meats, Leng Ruzhen asked the others at the table, "Do you have anything else to add?"
"Sister-in-law, you order." Cao Yong asked her to continue making decisions.
It seems that the family's uncle, the neurosurgeon, wanted to continue observing her.
Leng Ruzhen lowered her head and ordered vegetables: "Potatoes, corn, cabbage, cucumber, abalone, sweet potato. Two cans of drinks. Uncle San, do you drink beer?"
Senior Brother Cao can drink. This was the first time Xie Wanying heard of this.
"I want to drive." Cao Yong reminded.
"Uncle San, you can drink. Let my dad help you drive back." Cao Zhile interjected.
The kid suddenly turned into a little devil like Brother Shen, who is always afraid of causing trouble. What does he want to do?
Cao Yong glanced at his nephew.
Cao Zhile's little eyebrows twitched twice, and he glanced at his sister. It was obvious from his pretty expression that he wanted to know what his uncle looked like when he drank.
It's not true, don't think too much. Xie Wanying waved her hands at the child hurriedly.
I guess the kid went somewhere to listen to adults talking and then let his imagination run wild, like losing control of himself after drinking?
Leng Ruzhen taught her son: "Don't think you can understand what everyone says."
"Mom, am I handsome?" The criticized Cao Zhile was only concerned about showing his handsome face to his mother again.
Leng Ruzhen's cold eyes were like a stick that was about to hit her son who had lost his temper.
Cao Yong looked at this scene and suddenly realized what was going on, and his eyes darkened.
If the neurosurgeon boss really wanted to investigate, it would be impossible to hide it.
Leng Ruzhen's eyes dropped.
The atmosphere at the table fell into a strange silence again. This time, Cao Zhile no longer barked like a happy puppy. The six-year-old boy felt the seriousness of the situation and was so frightened that he sat in his chair like a fool and dared not move.
The waiter was confused about what was wrong with the family and asked the customer, "Is this enough?"
