Chapter 166 goodbye to Zheng Wentao
After leaving Xinhua bookstore, everyone followed the familiar Li Haitang to the Kfc. When she saw the long queue on the street outside, she looked back at them and said, "There are so many people. I think they have to line up for at least an hour. Are you still going?"
Everyone looked up at the sun above them and shook their heads in unison. Xia Lin said, "No, let's come tonight or tomorrow morning. There shouldn't be so many people then."
"Okay, let's go straight to the bus stop in front." Li Haitang really admired these people. In order to eat a Kfc line up in the hot sun for so long, only Su Tong could understand the persistence of these food.
It took half an hour for the bus to get back to the hotel. They went back to their rooms to freshen up, then went downstairs to find a place to eat lunch.
There are so many coincidences in the world.
Everyone picked and picked a cantonese restaurant to eat cantonese food. Just as coincidentally as last time, they met Zheng Wentao at the door and invited friends from the business world to eat here.
Zheng Wentao was slightly surprised at the sight of the blood related father and daughter meeting.
Li Haitang, on the other hand, looked calm. The contents of the letter of guarantee were deeply engraved in her mind, and she averted her eyes. The other party arrived one step ahead of them, and she stood by and waited for them to enter.
Zheng Wentao took a deep look at Li Haitang and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. He led the guests in first.
"Haitang, who is he?" Wang Li, who was standing in front of her, did not miss the look in the man's eyes and saw his face. She suddenly had some guesses in her heart.
Li Haitang pursed his lips and told her, "It's him."
This luck... Wang li clenched her lips, looked back at Lin Peipei, who had decided to come here to eat, and suggested, "Pepe, let's eat somewhere else." As he spoke, he gave her a quiet wink.
Lin Peipei naturally received a hint from her eyes. Just as she was about to say "Okay," Li Haitang had already taken the lead and walked in, "Let's do it here. We won't change places."
The other three looked at Wang Li and waited for her to explain. Wang li said five words with her lips, "Her biological father."
Lin Peipei and the others widened their eyes and their faces turned cold. They knew everything about her and naturally heard that she had signed a letter of guarantee with her biological parents. They had seen the contents of the letter of guarantee with their own eyes, and they were angry at her for a long time. They didn't expect to run into each other here at the age of the capital city. They were really caught off guard. They admired Li Haitang's composure. If it were them, they might not have been able to be so calm. They might have turned around and left.
"Go in." Seeing that Li Haitang had already entered the hotel lobby, Xia Lin urged.
As soon as Li Haitang walked in, she saw a waiter leading Zheng Wentao's group to the private room on the second floor. Another well-dressed waitress walked towards her and smiled politely, "Hello, how many people are having dinner?"
"Five, just sit in the lobby on the first floor." Li Haitang turned to look at the others. Seeing that they were following him, he followed the waiter to his seat.
The interior of the restaurant was freshly and elegantly decorated, with a modern teahouse style. The doors, windows, tables and chairs were all made of superior wood. Looking through the classical window into the backyard, he saw some bamboo planted in the corner of the backyard. On the shelf beside the bamboo, there were several bird cages, and two canaries were kept in the cage, chirping. Not far away, there was a tea set on the stone table. There was a small radio playing the most popular music. There was boiling water on the small carbon stove. It seemed that someone had just made kung fu tea here.
Li Haitang smiled. It seemed that the owner of the shop was quite interesting. He opened a small shop, tasted tea, listened to songs, played with birds, and led an enviable and relaxed life.
The waiter brought the menu over, made a pot of tea for each of them, and wrote down the list beside them.
Lin Peipei ordered a dish first, "Sliced chicken!" She loved this dish so much that she had to order it every time she went to a big restaurant in Yangcheng.
After the waiter finished writing, Su Tong reported, "White scalded shrimp."
"Barbecue with honey sauce and crispy skin!" Wang Li was a man without meat. No matter where she went to eat, she only ordered meat.
"Baby dish." Seeing that they ordered meat dishes, xia lin ordered a vegetarian dish.
Li Haitang was the last one to get the menu. He looked directly at the first specialty and opened his mouth to order, "Roast duck, garlic ribs, and these snacks."
After the waiter stepped down, Wang Li smiled and said, "Haitang, it's great to come out and play with a rich man like you. Before I came out, my sister-in-law stuffed me with three hundred yuan. I haven't touched a penny yet."
Li Haitang glanced sideways at her with a half-smile, "Are you showing off that you have a good sister-in-law?"
"Heh heh, pretty much, pretty much." Her sister-in-law was much nicer than other people's sisters and was generous to her sister-in-law.
"Wang Li's sister-in-law is really good. It's hard to find such a sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is not bad either, but she can't get along with my sister-in-law. She always feels that she gets along well with her own family, but she's a little distant from me." Su Tong's family was also three siblings, the eldest brother, and a sister, she was the youngest.
"You should be satisfied. Such a sister-in-law is also very good." Lin Peipei's family of five was very happy, but they had a large family of top-quality relatives, and now in her eyes, anyone was better than her grandparents.
Hearing her tone, Su Tong started gossiping again, "Pepe, what's wrong? Your aunt's top relatives are making trouble again?"
"The last time uncle and I went to trouble, they didn't come to the shop to make trouble, but they always ruined my parents'reputation at home. People with brains didn't believe her, and those without brains followed suit. This time, I was admitted to college. It was a big happy event. The school and the education bureau went to my hometown to report the good news. The five of us also went back. My aunt's mouth was still smothered and she said that I hit her, unfilial to my elders, and deliberately smeared me. She was so angry that my father slapped her for the first time, then ignored her and went back to the city without eating."
Lin Peipei was a little upset. It was really bad luck for her to have such relatives. Why couldn't she see her family like that?
"I'm really speechless. The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds. Ignore her, and don't go back to find fault with her in the future. Just live a quiet life." Wang Li had heard her talk about the family before. Such an aunt was really shameless.
Li Haitang concluded lightly, "Jealousy distorts the mind!"
Lin Peipei felt that her conclusion was too incisive. Her aunt was just jealous. When her uncle's family made money, she would quarrel with his family. When her family made money, she would come to her family. She never thought of ways to earn more money. She only wanted to get it for nothing. It was shameless to use such shameless means to earn money.
Zheng Wentao accompanied the guests to the dining room on the second floor. Through the glass window, he could see the situation in the lobby downstairs. From his angle, he could see Li Haitang's side face. When chatting with the guests, he would occasionally take a look at her side.
After the dishes were served, they began to eat at this table. With Su Tong and Wang Li, who loved to eat here, there would never be a cold scene at the table.
"Haitang, this roast duck you ordered is delicious." Wang Li was eating by herself and put a piece in her bowl.
Li Haitang chuckled, "Is there anything that doesn't taste good?"
"Hehe, it's all delicious. It's a pity that it's too hot, or I'll have to pack one for my family." Wang li smiled.
"When we go back, we can bring them some quanjude roast ducks."
Wang Li nodded, "Okay, bring the roast duck. Anyway, we're going back by plane. We'll be there in three hours. It won't be bad."
"Li Haitang, are you paying?" Su Tong sniggered.
Li Haitang gave her a big white eye and said angrily, "Yes, I'll pay. You can buy whatever you want. Really, you are all invisible little rich women now. As for every time you exploit me?"
"Haha, we are afraid that you have too much money. You will burst your card. We will spend some for you." Su Tong laughed like a cat that stole fish. She thought it was fun to exploit Li Haitang. Besides, she was really generous. They didn't have to eat for nothing.
Li Haitang ignored her and put the shrimp in the bowl. He slowly peeled and ate the shrimp. His movements were skillful and elegant.
She stopped when she was full, and Xia Lin was almost done eating. The other three, on the principle of not wasting, kept stuffing themselves into their stomachs.
Xia Lin poured everyone a cup of tea, took a sip, looked up slightly to look elsewhere, and caught a glimpse of the man in the east box on the second floor looking at their table, his eyes on Li Haitang.
She turned her head to look at Li Haitang and saw her looking calmly through the window into the backyard, staring at the two little birds that were eating. She hooked her lips. It seemed that she was really indifferent to the family relationship.
After they finished eating, Li Haitang got up and went to the counter to settle the bill. He went back to the table, picked up his backpack and left with them.
Zheng Wentao and the men at their table were all drinking, so naturally, they didn't eat so fast. He only saw the thin back of her leaving.
After seeing off the guests, Zheng Wentao drove home after 3 pm. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his parents coming over today. They were sitting on the sofa with unhappy faces, while Li Xiaoqin was sitting opposite them.
"Dad, mom, why are you here today?"
