BXBX NOVEL Chapter 266 - 266: Already Paid the Bill
The man in the corner said, “What’s the hurry? They’ll come down after eating. Will they stay up there forever?”
The person beside him nodded vigorously and said, “Yes, you’re right. They’ll come down after eating.”
Su Li and the rest had no idea that danger was descending on them. They were eating happily upstairs.
Su Ze ate the lotus leaf chicken and hurriedly praised, “Sister, this lotus leaf chicken is really delicious. The chicken has the fragrance of the lotus leaves.”
Su Li watched him eat happily and said, “If you like it, I’ll make it for you in the future.’
When Su Ze heard this, he revealed his white teeth and said to Su Li with a smile, “Thank you, Sister! Your food will definitely be better than the chefs here.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu quickly expressed, “Mother, we want to eat too.” Su Li looked at them dotingly and said, “Alright, I’ll make it for you.”
“Mother, your cooking is the best in the world. I want to eat your cooking for the rest of my life.”
“Me too, me too. I don’t get tired of Mother’s cooking no matter how much I eat.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu took turns flattering Su Li.
Su Li was coaxed into smiling like a flower. She covered her mouth and laughed.
Their laughter reached the private room on the third floor. When the man sitting by the window heard Su Li’s laughter, he couldn’t help but smile.
The attendant standing at the side saw the corner of his mouth and felt that it was unprecedented. In so many years, he had never seen his master smile so sincerely. This was the first time.
The man pricked up his ears to listen to the commotion below. As Su Li and the others did not deliberately control their voices, the man heard everything they said.
Seeing that the food on the table was almost finished, Su Li asked, “Are you all full?”
She did not order too many dishes today. If she ordered too much, it would be more wasteful. She felt that it was fine as long as there was enough to eat.
He Qingmu rubbed his round belly and said, “I’m full. My stomach can’t hold anymore!”
Su Li touched his tummy. It was indeed bulging. If he ate any more, he might explode.
“You’re not allowed to do this again in the future. Eat as much as you can. Don’t overeat yourself! ”
It was enough for children to eat until they were 70-80% full. Eating too much was not good for their digestion.
He Qingmu nodded obediently. “Alright, I won’t eat like this anymore!”
He was already a little bloated from eating!
He Qingyao acted like a little adult and said, “I told you not to eat so much just now, but you didn’t listen. Look, you’re too full now!”
He Qingmu smiled foolishly at the side and did not refute because he knew that it was useless to refute. In the end, his brother might even scold him.
Everyone was very happy during the meal. After confirming that they were not adding any more dishes, Su Li said, “Let’s rest for a while before leaving.”
Su Ze said, “Sis, let’s leave now. We still have to go shopping later. I’m afraid we’ll be late when we get back!”
He wanted to go back early, mainly because he was worried about leaving the ox cart in someone else’s place. He was afraid that the ox cart would be lost, so they had to hurry up and buy everything so they could go back for their ox cart!
Su Li did not think in that direction. She thought that Su Ze was in a hurry to go out for a walk, so she nodded and said, “That works too!”
Su Li called the shop assistant over and prepared to pay the bill and leave.
The shop assistant smiled at Su Li and said, “Customer, the bill for your table has been settled.”
What?
The bill had already been settled?
Su Li was very surprised by this news. Who had helped her settle the bill?
Just as Su Li was feeling puzzled, she saw Zeng Qing walking down from the third floor. He said, “Young lady, long time no see!”
Su Li looked at Zeng Qing and asked, “Did you settle the bill for me?”
This old man was so stingy. He wouldn’t do something that wouldn’t benefit him, right?
“No, no!” Zeng Qing shook his head.
He did not have the spirit to help others, especially when it came to paying for others. He was not stupid. Why would he help others pay for nothing?
Besides. this young lady had extorted a lot of things from him.
Su Li did not look too surprised when she heard his words, as if she already knew the answer.
Su Li said, “I heard that my bill had been paid by someone just now and met you here. I thought that you, the old man, were being kind and helping me settle the bill!”
The old man.
The corners of Zeng Qing’s mouth twitched when he heard Su Li addressing him as such.
Was he that old? Zeng Qing, who had begun to doubt himself, reached out and touched his face.
“Am I old?” Zeng Qing asked.
Su Li nodded seriously. “A little!”
Zeng Qing: I’ll allow you to lie. You won’t be beaten if you lie. You’ll only be beaten if you tell the truth.
Su Li was a little puzzled. Since it wasn’t Zeng Qing, who had helped her settle the bill?!
It was impossible for her bill to disappear for no reason, right?
Could it be that because she was as beautiful as a flower, someone gave her a free meal?!
Su Li shook her head at this thought. She knew her limits. Although she was good-looking, it wasn’t to the extent that someone would secretly help her settle the bill, right?
Zeng Qing smiled and teased, “Maybe someone secretly followed you and paid the bill for you. You’re quite lucky in the romantic aspect!”
Su Li rolled her eyes at him. Since it was not him, there was no need to continue the conversation. Su Li looked at the shop assistant beside her and asked.
“Do you know who paid the bill for me? Could there have been a mistake?”
The waiter of Xu Ji Restaurant smiled and shook his head. “The other party asked someone to help pay the bill, so I don’t know who it is. That person only said that it’s your private room and said that it’s for Ms. Su.”
Upon hearing this, Su Li became even more puzzled. Who was it? No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t think of anyone. Su Li decided not to think about it.
Su Li glanced at Zeng Qing and said, “We still have something on, so we won’t chat with you anymore. Goodbye.”
“Wait!” Zeng Qing stopped Su Li.
Su Li looked up at him and asked, “Is there anything else?”
Zeng Qing smiled and said, “The chili you gave me last time tasted pretty good. I have a friend here who’s very interested in your chili. Do you have time to talk to him now?”
When Su Li heard this, she understood what was going on. So what if this was a business deal?
Su Li glanced at Su Ze, He Qingyao, and the rest. She felt that today was not the time to discuss matters. After some thought, she rejected them. “Another day!”
Zeng Qing knew Su Li’s concern and said, “Why don’t we let them go out for a walk first? It won’t take long for us to chat.”
Su Ze also said, “Sister, why don’t you go? I’ll take them out for a walk to digest their food.’
Such an opportunity did not come every day. Since an opportunity had come knocking on their door, there was no need for them to miss it.
Su Li thought for a moment and said, “Alright, don’t go too far. Just stay right here.”
Su Ze nodded and said, “Sister, don’t worry!”
