Chapter 433 Appeasement
Xiao Zhen was stunned. She hadn't expected her mother to call and scold her for this reason. She quickly explained, "I didn't book the hotel. A friend of mine booked it. He said that Siqi had just arrived and he couldn't let her suffer."
What kind of friend is this, so good?
"What friend of yours? I've never heard you mention him before. Is he your boyfriend? Is he rich? Is he a big boss? Otherwise, why would he spend over two thousand yuan to book a room for Siqi?" Xiaozhen's mother bombarded her with questions.
Xiao Zhen felt a headache coming on and quickly explained, "He's not my boyfriend, we're just friends."
"A regular friend would book a hotel for Siqi that costs over two thousand yuan? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Don't try to fool me!" Xiaozhen's mother retorted.
Xiao Zhen said anxiously, "Really, they're just friends, Mom. Don't overthink it. People in big cities are just generous. Even if they don't have money, they have to pretend to be generous, otherwise their friends will look down on them."
Xiaozhen's mother is a rural woman who has never been to a big city. The farthest place she has ever been is their small county town.
She asked doubtfully, "Is that really true?"
Xiao Zhen quickly replied, "Really, I wouldn't bear to spend over two thousand yuan to put Siqi in a hotel. Where would I get that much money?"
Xiao Zhen had to use a lot of persuasion to calm her mother down.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but complain to Huang Dehan, "It's all your fault! I told you we didn't need to book such an expensive hotel, and now everyone in the family knows."
Huang Dehan didn't take it seriously, saying, "It's good that they know, because that way they'll trust you even more."
Xiao Zhen suddenly became a little uneasy. "Is it really okay to do this?"
"No problem, don't worry, I'll make sure she behaves herself," Huang Dehan said confidently.
...
Chen Siqi touched and looked around the room, acting like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before.
Upon arriving at the bathroom and seeing the large bathtub, her eyes lit up, and she quickly took off her clothes, eager to take a bath.
She was watching TV and saw that people in the city love to take baths, but she had never taken a bath in her entire life.
She turned on the tap, took off her clothes, and sat inside.
The water is warm and so comfortable. No wonder city dwellers love taking baths so much.
Chen Siqi didn't want to come out once she was inside.
She played in the bathtub for a long time until Xiao Zhen knocked on the door and called her, at which point she climbed out of the bathtub.
She hurriedly put on the hotel bathrobe before opening the door.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Zhen complained, "Why didn't you answer your phone? I thought something had happened to you, it scared me to death! Hurry up and change your clothes and come downstairs, I'll take you to eat."
"Okay, I'll be right down," Chen Siqi said shyly.
"hurry up."
After saying that, Xiao Zhen left.
Chen Siqi quickly dried her hair with the hotel's hairdryer, changed into her prettiest clothes, and applied some lipstick.
Little girls also love to look pretty.
After Chen Siqi came down, Huang Dehan and Xiao Zhen took her to a luxuriously decorated hotel for dinner.
Chen Siqi originally wanted to say that there was no need to eat at such an expensive restaurant, but when she saw Huang Dehan walking ahead, she felt embarrassed to say it.
Huang Dehan requested a private room.
After they were seated, Huang Dehan handed the menu to Chen Siqi and said generously, "Order whatever you like, don't be shy."
"Thanks!"
Chen Siqi took the menu, glanced at it, and her face turned pale.
