He Jing remained deathly silent, as if a ghost had choked her.
Children from poor families often have strange forms of pride because they have suffered so much and lack so much compared to others; pride is the only precious thing in their hearts.
But she didn't want them to be so humble. They would all become famous big shots in the future, no different from anyone else. Even the most luxurious hotel was just a place to eat.
But she didn't refuse immediately. She just lowered her head and asked softly, "Where would you like to eat, Xiaoguo?"
He Xiaoguo didn't even dare to look He Jing in the eye. Her soft, childlike voice was filled with frustration: "We can go back to eat. Mommy said that we can't go into places like this. If we go in, we'll be kicked out. Xiaoguo doesn't want to be kicked out."
He Jing felt as if a thousand needles were pricking her heart, causing a hidden pain. She even felt a little suffocated. When she turned around, she saw that He Ning and He Sui were also hanging their heads, trying their best to pretend that they didn't care, but their eyes were full of gray emotions.
If she hadn't personally experienced such dire poverty, she probably wouldn't have understood the reason for such a reaction, but now she knows that the few words in the original work represent their countless dark days.
Success many years from now will not change the current period of hardship and obscurity. Only they themselves know how much courage it takes to get through this harsh winter.
"Xiao Guo, no one will kick you out, I'm here..."
I no longer have to be so humble.
Yan Hanxi suddenly lifted He Xiaoguo up and smiled slowly: "Xiaoguo, the glutinous rice cakes here are delicious."
He Xiaoguo stared at Yan Hanxi with a bewildered look, but there was a hint of attraction in her eyes.
“You know, even in a restaurant like this, the dishes are made with radishes that cost five yuan a pound and cabbage that costs six yuan a pound. Even if it doesn’t look like a place to eat, it’s still a place to eat. Look at the menu, and if you think it’s too expensive, you can leave anytime,” Yan Hanxi said gently and unhurriedly. “They wouldn’t dare to neglect you, because the complaint hotline is written on the wall. You can call and complain about them anytime. Shall we go in and take a look?”
He Xiaoguo frowned, looking at He Ning and the others with a troubled expression, and remained silent for a long time.
Yan Hanxi also turned to look over, his tone casual and natural: "Brothers, don't worry. This restaurant is located in the suburbs and was not originally intended to make a profit. It is specifically for developers who come here to discuss business. It only provides simple meals, and the cost of a meal will not exceed two hundred yuan."
Two hundred yuan...
Nobody would believe that.
He Sui's eyes widened: "Are you trying to trick us into joining you? Let me tell you, if you want us to owe you a meal and then try to sign some kind of contract with my sister to make her pay off the debt, we will not agree."
He Jing: "..."
He Ning: "..."
He Yi and He Chen: "..."
Yan Hanxi's smile immediately widened: "What Fourth Brother said seems to have given me a new idea."
He Sui didn't seem to care at all, and said fiercely, "In short, if you have any bad intentions, you can forget about it."
He Jing was both embarrassed and ashamed, and couldn't help but step in to stop him: "Fourth Brother, please stop talking."
It must be some strange page that popped up on his computer recently that corrupted him, otherwise why would he say something like that?
He Zhou suddenly said disdainfully, "That's enough. It's just a meal. What's there to think about? Hurry up and finish eating so we can go home."
