Chapter 180: Self-abased

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

He Jing seemed as if her throat had been strangled by a ghost, surrounded by a silent stillness.

Children from poor families always had a peculiar kind of self-esteem due to their hardships. Having experienced so much suffering and lacking many things compared to others, their self-esteem was the only precious thing they possessed.

However, she didn’t want them to be so humble. They would all become influential figures in the future. They were no different from others. No matter how luxurious the restaurant was, it was just a place to eat. f(r)eenovelkiss

However, she didn’t reject him immediately. Instead, she lowered her head and asked softly, “Then where do you want to eat, Xiaoguo?”

He Xiaoguo didn’t even dare to look into He Jing’s eyes. His soft, childish voice was filled with frustration. “We can go back and eat. Mommy said that we can’t enter such places. If we do, we’ll be chased out. I don’t want to be chased out.”

He Jing felt as if a million needles were silently pricking her heart. She felt a bit suffocated and turned around to see He Ning, He Sui, and the others with their heads lowered. They tried their best to pretend that they didn’t care, yet their eyes were filled with murky emotions.

If she hadn’t experienced such dire poverty personally, she probably wouldn’t have understood why they reacted like this. But now she knew that the few words in the original novel were the representation of their countless dark days.

Success in many years to come wouldn’t change the current time of hardships as small as dust particles. Only they themselves knew how much courage they needed to walk through this harsh winter. “Xiaoguo, no one will chase you away. I’m here…”

No need to be so humble anymore.

Yan Hanxi suddenly lifted He Xiaoguo up and smiled slowly. “Xiaoguo, the steamed glutinous rice cakes here are delicious.”

He Xiaoguo stared at Yan Hanxi in a daze, with a hint of infatuation in his eyes.

“Do you know that even in such restaurants, the dishes are made from carrots that cost five yuan per catty and cabbages that cost six yuan per catty? Even if it doesn’t look like a place to eat, it’s still a place to eat. When you open the menu, if you find it expensive, you can leave at any time.” Yan Hanxi said gently, “They won’t dare to neglect you either because the complaint hotline is written on the wall. You can call them at any time. Shall we go in and take a look?”

He Xiaoguo was so conflicted that he frowned. He turned around to look at He Ning and the others, but there was silence for a long time.

Yan Hanxi also turned to look at them. His tone was casual and natural. “Brothers, don’t worry. This restaurant was built in the suburbs and wasn’t intended to be profitable. It was specially built for developers who come here for business. It only provides simple meals. The cost of eating a meal won’t exceed 200 yuan.”

They thought, “Two hundred yuan… Who would believe that?”

He Sui widened his eyes, “Are you trying to trick us into joining the pirate ship? Let me tell you, if you want us to owe you a meal and then want to sign some contract with my sister to make her pay the debt, we won’t agree.”

He Jing, He Ning, He Yi, and He Chen were speechless.

Yan Hanxi’s smile instantly widened. “What fourth brother said seems to have given me a new idea.”

He Sui didn’t seem to notice anything. He said gruffly, “Anyway, if you have any bad intentions, drop the ideas now.”

He Jing was both embarrassed and awkward. She couldn’t help but step forward to stop him. “Fourth brother, please stop.”

Certainly, some strange page must have popped up on his computer and contaminated him. Otherwise, why would he say such a thing?

He Zhou suddenly said disdainfully, “That’s enough. It’s just a meal. What’s there to consider? Hurry up and finish our meal, then go home..”
