Chapter 135 Was he locked up in the mansion until he went mad, or is the Xue family about to go bank
The father and daughter, who were having dinner, both looked up at the entrance of the restaurant.
It turned out to be Xue Ruifeng, the second young master of the Xue family whom they had helped before. They hadn't seen him for many days, and the child had gained a lot of weight, but his chubby, round face was still quite recognizable.
Lin Qingchuan was somewhat surprised, so he quickly put down his chopsticks, stood up, and greeted him.
"So it's Young Master Xue, long time no see. What a coincidence to run into you here. You're here to eat too?"
He and his daughter were busy until now and only just got to eat. It wasn't lunchtime, and it wasn't dinnertime either. Why did the two brothers come at this time?
The habits of wealthy families are truly incomprehensible.
Xue Ruifeng smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling, and darted over to sit at the same table with them.
"Oh, Uncle Qingchuan, it's been months. Why are you being so distant and polite with me? Don't call me Second Young Master Xue. Just call me Xue Ruifeng. That way, it'll seem like we're closer."
Lin Xiaotang chuckled and immediately nodded, "Okay, Xue Ruifeng, but... it's getting late. My dad and I have to hurry back to town after we finish eating, so we probably won't be able to eat with you all at our leisure. Maybe we can chat more next time when we arrive earlier?"
Next time, when his parents keep a close eye on him, he won't be able to get out!
Xue Ruifeng immediately panicked, "No, Xiao Tang, we've finally run into each other, and I have so much to tell you. Why don't I go home with you and come back tomorrow?"
He wanted to ask his older brother for permission, but when he turned around he realized his brother hadn't sat down, so he belatedly turned back to look.
His older brother stood a few steps behind him.
This... this bookworm has gone mad from reading too much!
He hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you standing there for? Don't you recognize them? They're the ones who saved me and brought me back. You've met them before. Uncle Qingchuan and Xiaotang are both good people. Let's sit at the same table and chat."
Xue Hanxing's expression was somewhat unnatural. The misunderstanding had occurred earlier, and his apology had not satisfied the other party. He had not had a chance to explain clearly. No one had invited him, so how could he have the nerve to sit down?
This fickle younger brother, who had just been dragging me along, immediately abandoned his older brother the moment he saw Xiaotang and her father.
That's incredibly disloyal!
However, since his younger brother had called him, he had a reason to sit at the same table with the father and daughter. Putting aside his embarrassment, he walked over and sat down slowly.
Lin Xiaotang thought for a moment and said, "What do you want to eat? Order quickly, it's my dad and I treating today."
It's easy to say something generous, but it's hard to part with money. After saying that, Lin Xiaotang felt her heart bleeding.
The Xue family is wealthy; the two brothers have tasted all sorts of delicacies. Would they order anything cheap at a restaurant?
What if she and her father order all the signature dishes and don't have enough money?
joke!
We're treating everyone to a meal, so we can't just dine and dash, right?
However, she and her father sat here first, and the two brothers came later. Since the father is an adult and they are all sitting at the same table, the father and daughter couldn't very well ask the two children to treat them.
There was nothing I could do but silently pray that the two brothers wouldn't just randomly order a huge table full of food.
Although Xue Ruifeng was playful and mischievous, he was also very clever. When he was rescued by Uncle Qingchuan and Xiaotang, he stayed at their house for two days and learned that they were poor and didn't even have a decent meal. There were no antique vases or even a soft quilt in the house.
Looking at the food on the table, it was all very simple. Not only did they not repay their savior with money, but they also made their savior treat them to a meal. What kind of logic is that?
He hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, "No, no, no... You've come all this way to the county, I should be the one treating you. You saved me and you don't even ask for anything in return, I feel really bad about it."
Lin Xiaotang thought to herself, "As expected of a child from a wealthy family, she started her education early and studied with a teacher. She's precocious and speaks eloquently."
Even she, a fake child, couldn't help but admire him.
Xue Hanxing chimed in at the opportune moment, "Brother Feng is right. You are his saviors, and there is no reason for your benefactors to treat us. We brought money with us, so let us treat you as a belated thank you."
"No, no, it's not right for an adult like me to let two children treat us. Let's do as Tang'er says, it's just right for Tang'er and me to treat us. Let's not keep offering to each other, or we'll be late getting back."
Lin Qingchuan was also a little anxious. He usually came home around noon, and his wife must be getting impatient waiting for him at home.
Xue Hanxing wanted to continue speaking, but Lin Xiaotang slammed her hand on the table with a "bang".
"Stop offering and ordering! Order now, or Dad and I will leave as soon as we finish eating!"
Her stomach was growling with hunger, and she had only taken a few bites when the two brothers interrupted her. She had kindly invited them to eat, but it cost her money, and the two brothers were still being polite.
If she came by herself, then let them treat her. But for a grown man like me to let two children treat us to a meal would be an insult to my reputation.
Although they were poor, they were not the type to take advantage of others.
However, if you're really starving to death, then just pretend she didn't say anything.
Xue Hanxing was stunned by her sudden actions. He had never seen such a rude girl in his life, yet she was also quick-witted and eloquent.
"Well... if Xiaotang and Uncle Qingchuan insist on treating, then you can treat us. We won't argue."
Xue Ruifeng felt a little regretful. If he were the one to invite them, he would definitely order a large and sumptuous meal to properly entertain Xiaotang and her father. But since Xiaotang and her father were the ones to pay, he couldn't just order whatever he wanted.
Alas, forget it!
He beckoned the waiter over and ordered, "Waiter, bring us another dish and two servings of rice."
The waiter looked on incredulously when he heard that Young Master Xue had only ordered one dish.
He knew the second young master of the Xue family because before the second young master was kidnapped, he often took his servants out to play. As a child, he always thought that food outside was better than food at home.
Every time Young Master Xue comes to their restaurant, he orders a huge table of food, but this time he only ordered one dish?
This is so... so unlike his personality!
So the waiter asked, "Second Young Master, would you like to order just one more dish?"
Xue Ruifeng nodded, as if it were a matter of course, and said, "That's right, let's just add one more dish. Oh, by the way, let's just order green pepper and egg."
You can't order meat dishes, they're expensive!
Now, the waiter was even more dumbfounded.
Is it because the Second Young Master Xue hasn't left the house for several months and has been locked up in the mansion until he's gone crazy, or is the Xue family about to go bankrupt?
When did the pampered young master Xue learn to save money?
Xue Hanxing was even smarter than his younger brother. He glanced at the food on the table and immediately understood why his brother had only ordered one dish.
So he quickly explained, "Yes, let's just order a green pepper and egg dish. We've already eaten at home, so a little something extra will fill us up."
The waiter suddenly realized and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Alright, please wait a moment, I'll make the arrangements right away."
Lin Xiaotang couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. These two brothers were just too insightful!
