Ming Yue’s eyes widened. “How much is it per person? Is the hot pot in this restaurant made of gold and jade?” She had never eaten such expensive food before. Usually, she was not even willing to spend more than 100 yuan per person on hot pot. Anyway, it was convenient to buy ingredients now. If she bought the groceries with the same amount of money, she could make a few meals for herself.

“Tang Tang-jie, that’s too expensive. Let’s go eat something else. If you want to eat hotpot, I’ll make it for you the next time you come to my house. It tastes the same.” The three of them had to spend 3,000 yuan for a hotpot meal. That was too much…

“Yue Yue, you’re still so young. If you don’t eat or drink now, you’ll lose your appetite when you’re old. Don’t worry, it’s my treat. Just eat as much as you want.” The dessert shop’s business was booming. The couple had also saved up a lot of money. They could still afford to come out from time to time to enjoy delicious food.

Zhang Lin, who had been silent all this while, also opened his mouth to persuade her. “Ming Yue, just listen to your big sister. Just treat it as accompanying your big sister to eat, okay? When there’s a chance, we’ll go to your house. You can make delicious food for the two of us then.”

Ming Yue also knew that it would be too pretentious to keep refusing. She chuckled. “Then I will take you up on your offer. I guarantee that I’ll be able to eat your money’s worth today.” Let’s go then. When life was not so tense in the future, she would treat them back.

Ten minutes later, the black Honda stopped at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant. Zhang Lin carefully parked the car in the parking lot because there was a white Mercedes-Benz G parked beside him. He was afraid of scratching it.

Tang Tang said, “Honey, be careful. Don’t scratch it.” The three of them got out of the car. Tang Tang held Ming Yue’s hand and whispered, “The customers in this high-end place are all on a different level. My little Honda looks a little shabby in front of this Big G. This car costs more than four million yuan. I’m so envious. Can I even save four million yuan in my entire life? F*ck, that car is a Porsche, right? The color is so dazzling…”

Ming Yue listened to her nagging. She only knew that these brands were expensive, but she did not know how much each brand and series were worth. As soon as they entered, a young waiter welcomed them and led them to the seats they had reserved. Tang Tang said that she had reserved a seat in advance yesterday.

The decoration of this hotpot restaurant was completely different from other restaurants Ming Yue had eaten at before. She seemed to have suddenly arrived at an ancient courtyard. There were antique roofs and pillars, carved windows, and a second floor. Ming Yue looked up and saw someone sitting and enjoying their food by the side of the railing carved along the wooden wall.

“The second floor looks better, but it’s a pity that the second floor is also expensive. It costs more than 5,000 yuan per person. There are also professional performers singing songs upstairs. Let’s just have a simple meal on the first floor. It’s also quite good.” Ming Yue retracted her gaze and smiled at her. The waiter served a pot of tea that she could not name. After Zhang Lin poured Tang Tang a cup, he poured another for her. Ming Yue thanked him and tasted it. It tasted quite good, so she poured another cup for herself.

On the second floor of the hotpot restaurant, Zheng Ziheng leaned lazily against the back of his chair and reached out to rub his temples. “My sister crazily told me to come here. She said that this place serves the best hotpot. She’s always been picky. If she says it’s delicious, it probably tastes pretty good.”

Liu Jingxing retracted his gaze from a corner on the first floor and hummed faintly. Zheng Ziheng poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. “Are we not the best friends in the world anymore? You already have a child and you’re hiding it from me?”

Liu Jingxing was amused by his exaggerated tone. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “It was my grandma who told your grandma, right?”

“That’s right. My grandma went to your old residence yesterday and heard it from your grandma. We clearly agreed that friends would walk together for the rest of our lives. Whoever got married first is a dog. You, on the other hand, directly got a child.” The more Zheng Ziheng spoke, the angrier he became. “Ever since my grandma came back from your house, she has been arranging blind dates for me these few days. You’re really my good brother.” He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last few words.

“You’re envious? Do you want this blessing?” Liu Jingxing rolled his eyes in the direction of the window on the first floor. He frowned and felt a little annoyed. “I’ve lived for almost 30 years, but I’ve actually been schemed against by a country bumpkin who has never caught my eye. How annoying.”

Zheng Ziheng put down his teacup, and his eyes immediately lit up with gossip. “I heard that she’s the daughter of your butler? She rushed into your room and pounced on you? This little girl is quite impressive.”
