“Hello, Uncle and Auntie!” Li Chang scratched her head in embarrassment.

Seeing the embarrassment on Li Chang’s face, Yuan Xiao smiled. “This time, it’s my treat. Next time, take me to somewhere more expensive!”

“Alright, definitely.” Li Chang followed Yuan Xiao and found a seat by the window.

“You must be Li Chang. I’ve always heard Xiao Xiao mention you,” Feng Mei said warmly as she served some fruits and drinks.

“Thank you, Auntie.” Li Chang sized up the woman in front of her. Although she did not look very young, her eyes were kind and kind, giving off a very gentle feeling.

“Xiao Xiao, entertain your friend well. Your father is busy in the kitchen. The dishes will be served in a while.” Feng Mei had a smile on her face.

“Mom, where are the two waiters we hired previously?” Yuan Xiao was afraid that her parents would work too hard, so she specially logged in the recruitment information online and hired two waiters.

“Oh, there are usually not many people at this time. I asked them to go home and rest first. I’ll call them when there are more people. The house they rented is very close to here. I’ll go see if your father needs help.” Feng Mei went to the kitchen to work.

“Xiao Xiao, Auntie looks so gentle and kind. Your family’s restaurant is not bad too.” Li Chang looked around. Although the decoration was simple, it was very clean and tidy.

“Yes, my mother is indeed soft-hearted. Her cooking is not bad. Try it later.” There were indeed not many people in the shop. Yuan Xiao’s gaze drifted to the window and saw a few faces that she hated.

Shen Ling walked towards the small restaurant angrily. Behind her, Zhou Wei and Jun Jun were muttering something unhappily.

“Feng Mei!”

Before she entered, Shen Ling’s sharp and ear-piercing voice came from outside.

Yuan Xiao frowned. It seemed that her meal with Li Chang would not go well.

“What’s wrong?” Feng Mei walked out of the kitchen with Shen Hai in an apron.

“What’s wrong? Shen Hai, you’ve raised a good daughter!” The fat on Shen Ling’s face trembled from anger.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Yuan Xiao. Yuan Xiao put down her cup, signaling Li Chang not to worry, and walked towards Shen Ling.

“What’s wrong, Auntie? Did I offend you in any way?” Yuan Xiao’s voice was calm, and no emotions could be seen.

“It’s not you, it’s that Shen Wei!” Shen Ling took out a drink from the refrigerator and sat down on the chair.

“Remember Xiao Xiao gave us the address of the Yuan Family last time?” Zhou Wei pulled Jun Jun to sit down and said to Shen Hai and Feng Mei, “We couldn’t enter the neighborhood, so your sister was arguing with the security guard at the door. At this time, she saw Shen Wei coming back from outside. We wanted to go in with her, but we didn’t expect her to tell the security guard that she doesn’t know us!” Zhou Wei’s tone was also a little dissatisfied.

“That girl used to look timid, but now that she’s the daughter of a rich family, she doesn’t care about her family anymore!” Shen Ling drank the drink angrily. Soon, the bottom of the bottle was revealed.

“Then what’s the use of looking for me? Shen Wei’s surname is Yuan now. She’s not related to you to begin with!” Shen Hai looked at Shen Ling with a stomach full of anger, afraid that she would affect his business.

“I don’t care! Aren’t you still my biological brother?! Why don’t you care about me?” Shen Ling glared at Shen Hai. She had looked down on this useless brother since she was young. Now that he had money, he could forget about ditching her.

“Aunt, it’s not like you can’t take care of yourself. Why do you want my father to mind your business?” Yuan Xiao walked closer and looked at Shen Ling with a cold gaze.

“I don’t need him to serve me! I just lack money! If you don’t give me money today, I won’t leave!” Shen Ling saw that Yuan Xiao’s tone was unfriendly and was about to act shamelessly.

“We don’t have that much money on hand. Old Shen and I just opened a restaurant. We need to spend money everywhere.” Feng Mei was also a little angry. Her slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

“Stop pretending. I’ve already asked around. Yuan Xiao’s results in school are very good. She received a lot of scholarships and even found a young master from a rich family. How can she not have money!” Shen Ling looked at Yuan Xiao with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

“How can you say that!” Feng Mei was trembling with anger. Shen Hai’s expression was also very ugly, but Yuan Xiao’s expression was still calm. She was wondering if Shen Ling had asked about this or if Yuan Wei had told them.

“Leave quickly. Our family doesn’t welcome you!” Shen Hai looked at Shen Ling, feeling very frustrated.

“You don’t welcome us? If you don’t give us the money today, we won’t leave!” Shen Ling pulled Zhou Wei to sit down while Jun Jun rummaged around.
