Chapter 4713: Qin and Huo’s Additional Story (43)
She watched as Qin Chu stared blankly at his rice.
Huo Mian didn’t understand the situation and thought that Qin Chu was touched.
She even added happily, “You’re welcome.”
Qin Chu: “…”
They enjoyed the meal. Huo Mian hadn’t felt so full in a long time.
After dinner, it was already dark. Huo Mian looked down at her phone and saw that it was 7:40 PM.
“The car is here. Let’s go.”
Qin Chu knew that she didn’t want to go home too late. After all, she couldn’t keep hanging outside and make her mother worry.
“You haven’t paid the bill yet.”
Seeing that Qin Chu was about to leave, Huo Mian kindly reminded him.
Qin Chu smiled. “Aren’t you treating me?”
“When did I say I was going to treat you…”
“Shouldn’t you? I’ve helped you so many times…”
Huo Mian: “…”
Thinking that this meal would probably cost a lot of money, Huo Mian felt uncertain.
She touched her pocket. She had less than 100 yuan of allowance.
She turned to look at Auntie Wang guiltily.
“Auntie Wang… how much is it?”
“Hurry up and go. Little President Qin is just teasing you. It’s free.”
“How can we not pay money? You made us such delicious food… we should still pay you some.” Huo Mian didn’t like eating for free.
She reached into her pocket for her small change.
At that moment, Auntie Wang smiled. “This is Little President Qin’s house. Everything belongs to him. The house, the fish pond, and even my salary are all paid for by the Qin family… Why would I take your money?”
“Um… This is your home?” Huo Mian was caught off guard.
“It’s not my family’s house. To be exact, it’s mine… Three years ago, my dad and I came here to look at the land… I fell in love with this place at first sight, so my dad bought it… Usually, Auntie Wang and Uncle Wang would help us take care of the fish pond and rear some cattle here. My mom likes to eat natural green vegetables and meat, so our family would come here sometimes to get food ingredients.”
“Fine… you sure are rich.” Huo Mian was speechless.
This place belonged to Qin Chu, why would he still need to pay?
It saved her a meal. Otherwise, if she really paid, she might not have enough pocket money for next week.
When they walked out, the Audi that had escorted them once was already parked at the entrance.
Qin Chu opened the car door and let Huo Mian get in first.
Along the way, they did not talk much. Perhaps they were afraid that the chauffeur would hear them and feel awkward.
When she got home, it was almost nine o’clock.
The time was just right, and Huo Mian was very full from the meal.
“Why are you back so late, Mian?”
Her mother asked when she saw Huo Mian.
“I went out with a few classmates.”
“Where did you go?”
“A fishing pond in the suburbs… I went fishing.”
“Aiya, you little girl… you’re so naughty… You should save me some trouble in the future. It’s so late at night, what are you fishing for… It’s so dangerous in the dark.”
“Got it, Mom. I’m going to take a shower.”
Afraid that her mother would nag at her, Huo Mian quickly found an excuse to escape.
Behind her, Zhixin added, “Mom, sister must have gone out with some male classmate. Look at how guilty she looks.”
“Shut up and do your homework.”
“Mom… you’re so biased… Why do you always scold me when I play basketball until 7 pm, but when my sister comes back at 9 pm… she’s fine?” Zhixin was displeased.
Just then, Yang Meirong said something that hurt Zhixin’s heart.
“If you can be like your sister and get first place every time and get a scholarship, you can play for the whole night and not come back, it will be fine…”
Zhixin: “…”
“Mom… you’re really my mom?.” Zhixin wanted to cry.
After Huo Mian took a shower and crawled into bed, she received a text message.
She thought it was Qin Chu and quickly opened it.
