[Chapter 77 Chapter 077 It doesn’t matter]
This is a private Sichuan restaurant with a great environment. As soon as you enter, you will feel that it is very suitable for banquets.
The decoration is low-key yet luxurious.
Lin Mo's position was temporarily arranged.
There are no private rooms, so we can only sit in the hall outside.
The four of them sat down.
Lin Mo and Aunt Zhen sat in one row, and Shen Ji'an and Xie Guanyan sat in another row.
The waiter brought the menu and glanced at the four people.
For a moment, it was a bit confusing to figure out the relationship between these four people.
A middle-aged woman who looks to be in her forties, and a handsome man who looks elegant and cheerful.
A delicate and beautiful high school girl.
A thin boy with long bangs covering his eyes, who looks like a high school student.
They must be relatives, the waiter thought secretly.
The menu was handed to the handsome man with extraordinary bearing, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"
Xie Guanyan took it with his bony hands and handed it to the girl opposite him, "Take a look at what you want to eat."
Lin Mo didn't answer, "My fourth brother and I are treating you to dinner today, you order the dishes!"
Xie Guanyan did not insist any further and looked up and asked, "What do you guys avoid eating?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
When Xie Guanyan saw this scene, a smile appeared in his eyes.
He flipped through the menu with his bony fingers and ordered a few dishes.
Then he handed it to Lin Mo, "See if there is anything you want to add."
Lin Mo shook her head, her peach blossom eyes slightly curled, "No, what you ordered happened to be what I like to eat. You also ordered non-spicy ones, and Aunt Zhen can't eat anything too spicy."
Thoughtful~
Xie Guanyan pushed his glasses up with a single finger and looked at Shen Ji'an again.
Shen Ji'an also shook his head, "You ordered so much, it's enough."
The dishes were served one after another, and the waiter poured tea for everyone.
Shen Ji'an took the tea, stood up a little nervously, and said nervously: "Mr. Xie, use tea instead of wine, you toast me a glass."
Xie Guanyan: “…”
Lin Mo: “…”
Xie Guanyan turned his head to look at him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Shen Ji'an realized something and slapped himself, "Ah, I said it wrong, I meant I want to toast you, Mr. Xie!"
Xie Guanyan raised a faint smile and picked up the teacup with his slender fingers, "Okay."
Shen Ji'an never expected that the charity tycoon would be so humble, so he pursed his lips and said what he wanted to say.
"Mr. Xie, I'm sorry. I received a lot of help from your foundation in the slums. You are my benefactor. I shouldn't have called you old last time."
In fact, on the way to the ward, Xie Guanyan figured out why Shen Ji'an's attitude towards him changed drastically.
His voice was gentle and pleasant, "It's okay."
Shen Ji'an felt so guilty, "You are not old at all. Although you are older than my sister, you are not old compared to people of the same age. I will never say that you are old again. I..."
Xie Guanyan's eyes jumped, and he clinked his teacup with him, "Okay, I understand, let's drink tea."
He had never heard so many old words at once.
Lin Mo wanted to laugh when she heard Shen Ji'an's childish apology.
But this is a serious occasion.
She held back.
Finally, he said what he wanted to say, and Shen Ji'an breathed a sigh of relief.
He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and sat down.
Scratching his head, he added, “Mr. Xie, many children in the slums thank you. I am lucky that I can meet you.”
Xie Guanyan put down the teacup and looked at the girl opposite with his dark eyes. "I was also very lucky back then. The charity your parents did in the slums also helped me a lot."
If the little princess hadn't spoken a few more words to him, she would have donated a lot of money for food.
He might starve to death in an orphanage one day.
At that time, people often starved to death in the slums and welfare homes.
The head teacher had never paid attention to him before, but from then on he watched over the other kids and made sure they didn't snatch his food.
Shen Ji'an has very vague memories of his parents, because they passed away when he was two years old.
He was very shocked, "There is such a thing!"
Lin Mo's peach blossom eyes lit up slightly, "Did you come from that welfare home?"
Last time we just chatted a little late at night, just gossip, and we didn't get to know each other in depth.
Xie Guanyan took another sip of water, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he nodded, "Well, I am also very grateful to your parents."
Thank you even more.
Lin Mo was very surprised that there was such a connection.
There was also a flash of sadness in her peach blossom eyes.
Such good parents, just gone without a trace, the plane crashed into the sea, and their bodies were never found.
There is no tomb.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her not to visit them after coming back for so long.
Xie Guanyan noticed the sadness in Lin Mo's eyes and instantly regretted mentioning her parents.
He held back last time and didn't say anything, but he couldn't hold back this time.
Deep down, he still hoped that Shanshan would remember the bond they had when they were children.
But the next second the girl smiled brightly and beautifully, "I am very happy that you told me these. I am very happy that there are still people who remember them and thank them."
No wonder Xie Guanyan helped so efficiently, he was grateful.
The incomparably handsome man chuckled, with a hint of loss in his eyes behind his glasses.
It's impossible to remember. The little princess is kind-hearted and must have helped many people.
Everyone is likely to only remember things and people that have impressed them.
Shen Ji'an sincerely sighed, "Good people will be rewarded!"
The seeds planted by his parents reaped the fruits in him.
Lin Mo nodded, "I am a mediocre person, and I should be rewarded for my mediocrity."
Aunt Zhen heard this and hugged Lin Mo, "Hug!"
Lin Mo was so touched that she hugged me back, "Aunt Zhen, who would treat me like a child if I were not with you?"
Xie Guanyan looked at the two of them and even began to envy Aunt Zhen.
Not everyone is qualified to pamper Shanshan.
Although Xie Guanyan had certain reasons for helping his fourth brother, Lin Mo still felt that he should apologize.
She also stood up like her fourth brother.
"Xie Guanyan, I want to apologize to you too."
"It doesn't matter." Xie Guanyan said it almost subconsciously.
Lin Mo frowned, "I haven't told you why yet!"
Xie Guanyan pushed the frame of his glasses with one finger, hiding the emotions in his eyes, and smiled gently, "Why?"
Because she took advantage of him?
Lin Moyu touched her nose with her white fingers. "Last time, I asked you to help me find out where my fourth brother was. I didn't cook that meal. I lied to you."
"I'm sorry, my cooking is terrible. I don't have any talent for it, but I want your help."
Xie Guanyan's eyes were fixed on the girl's face.
She wears very casual clothes everyday, with a golden puppy pendant hanging around her neck, and only the thin chain can be seen.
"You don't need to apologize for this. I heard from the housekeeper that you spent the whole afternoon studying, but you just didn't learn it. Your intention is there."
Shanshan is still too naive.
A little lie that I still remember today.
Lin Mo's eyebrows curved, "That's right!"
Shen Ji'an's eyes under his long bangs kept looking at the two people, and he thought of something and said, "By the way, sister, Mr. Xie brought me the special scar removal cream newly developed by his company. He is really great!"
Mr. Xie was surprised that his sister didn’t mention this matter when he saw her, which was beyond Shen Ji’an’s expectation.
Of course he knew that Mr. Xie brought him scar removal cream because he was friends with his sister.
I didn't expect that he didn't take any credit at all.
Moreover, Mr. Xie could obviously feel at ease being his own benefactor, but he said that he was also grateful to his parents.
It's like this cancels out.
He actually had absolutely no desire to show off.
Mr. Xie is simply the kindest person in the world!
He likes him more!
Lin Mo looked at the handsome man opposite with her peach blossom eyes, "Then you are indeed the best in the world! Don't forget to use the scar removal cream yourself."
Such a handsome guy who looks like a model should not be tainted by flaws because of her.
Shen Ji'an rolled his eyes, "Mr. Xie is good at everything, but that Gu Jingchuan is nothing, even if he gives him some oranges, they are sour!"
Lin Mo ate a piece of tripe from the Maoxuewang. "That wasn't given by Gu Jingchuan. I gave him a hundred yuan for it! I bought it!"
Xie Guanyan's eyes flickered as he stared at the girl's face without making any expression, showing a hint of excitement.
Even though the money has been given, Shanshan has not completely forgiven Gu Jingchuan!
When Xie Guanyan put the very spicy lotus root slices into his mouth, he felt it was somewhat sweet.
"One hundred?" Shen Ji'an's eyes widened, "Those are only sixty-seven in total!"
It turned out that the middleman Gu Jingchuan made a profit from the price difference.
Next time I see him, I’ll ask for the extra ones back!
When he was a child, Shen Ji'an had no concept of money.
But after experiencing the days of spending one cent as if it were two cents, he learned to cherish money.
Of course Lin Mo could tell that those fruits were not worth a hundred.
But he gave her a hundred reluctantly because he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and Gu Jingchuan.
The next second she was puzzled, “Shen Ji’an, how do you know how much those fruits cost?”
Shen Ji'an's mouth twitched slightly, "I met him at the fruit shop downstairs, and saw him pay."
I had a pretty good meal and paid at the front desk.
The front desk said that Xie Guanyan had already paid the bill.
Lin Mo curled her lips, “It was agreed that I would treat you, and Shen Ji’an would pay!”
Xie Guanyan held the white suit jacket in one hand, and looked at her with his warm glass eyes, "I won't snatch it next time."
