That was true.
It was just a meal, but it was full of landmines.
He Jing used to be a proper young lady. They could not embarrass her. As to whether they owed her a favor? That could wait until after the meal.
He Zhou stepped into the restaurant ahead of them. The others looked at each other and followed closely behind. They were led into the restaurant by the manager after a short bow.
The tense atmosphere finally dissipated, and He Jing felt that the haze in her heart had been swept away.
She deliberately lagged behind the others and said to Yan Hanxi, “Thank you.”
Yan Hanxi just smiled and did not say anything. He poked her head with his finger and walked in with He Xiaoguo.
He Jing stood behind them. She felt that the two seemed to get along well for some reason.
No, it must be an illusion!
Yan Hanxi was not He Xiaoguo’s brother.
The manager was informed when they entered the restaurant and immediately rushed to receive them. The way the manager treated Yan Hanxi was closer to what one would expect from a parent for their child.
Yan Hanxi found him an eyesore, however, and sent him away. The waiter handed the menu to him, and he passed it to He Jing.
He Jing followed suit, passing the menu to He Zhou, sitting opposite her.
He Zhou smiled coldly at her gesture, but he did not refuse it. He took the menu and ordered more than ten dishes without blinking.
Since Yan Hanxi was so rich, he wouldn’t mind if they ate a little more. Anyway, he liked He Jing, didn’t he?
As for whether He Jing’s image in Yan Hanxi’s heart would plummet was none of his business.
He Ning saw through He Zhou’s thoughts at a glance and called him out for it, clear displeasure in his tone.
“It’s alright, ” Yan Hanxi smiled.
As if fearing he would be outdone, Yan Hanxi called for a waiter again and ordered another ten dishes without batting an eye.
“I don’t usually get a chance to treat you,” he said. “You must try it, I insist. If you like the food here, I’ll have them issue you a gold card. In the future, if you don’t feel like cooking, you can just come here to eat.”
He Jing pinched Yan Hanxi under the table. She glared at him, a clear warning in her eyes. If he dared spout more nonsensical ideas, there would be consequences.
Everyone in the He family was proud. While Yan Hanxi meant well, his actions might be taken as a provocation, as if he were looking down on their financial capability.
They were all about the same age, yet one soared in the sky while the others crawled on the ground… How could they take the insult lying down?
Yan Hanxi glanced at her helplessly as if to say, ‘It was your third brother who bullied you first.’
He Jing’s face turned red, and she fidgeted in her seat.
Naturally, He Zhou did not take it well. He was so angry that he was close to leaving without eating anything, but He Yi stopped him with a tug of his sleeve.
“That’s right, where’s Xiao Yi?” He Sui asked, somewhat confused. “Why haven’t I seen her in a while?”
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically…
Where was Cheng Yi?
How could they have forgotten about her?
“You guys should go ahead. I’ll go look for her.” He Ning stood up, volunteering almost immediately.
He Zhou laughed coldly. “I thought you knew Xiao Yi had returned and did not mention anything. It turns out you completely torgot about her. You don’t seem to treat Xiao Yi as our sister anymore.”
He Sui felt like slapping himself. He and his big mouth! If he had known something like this would happen, he would have kept his discovery to himself. He was just asking for trouble.
“I was too excited and got careless,” He Ning refuted. “When did Xiao Yi go back?”
He Zhou’s words were like knives to his heart. “She left when you guys started discussing whether He Jing would finish with first place.”
He Ning massaged the space between his brows, feeling guilty. “It’s my fault. I’ll call Xiao Yi and apologize when we get back..”
