"Oh, I forgot about it, there won't be menus in the MVP room, I'll have someone go outside and get you one. After speaking, Li Siqin ordered the store manager to go out and get the menu and come in.

Xia Haitong asked casually: "Why won't the MVP room provide menus?"

Li Siqinrou smiled and said: "Because the only people who can come here are our Li family, and the café is opened by our family, so will we need menus?"

Xia Haitong was puzzled: "If only the people of the Li family can come, then Mr. Ye and Ye Shao, Miss Ye and ......"

"The Ye family and the Li family are world friends, and Cheng Xuan and I are childhood sweethearts, my father treats him as half of his sons, of course there is no problem for them to come. ”

As soon as these words came out, the air pressure at the scene fell to freezing, Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin extremely embarrassed, although she knew that Li Siqin didn't mean to express anything, but this sentence made Xia Haitong feel the gap between herself and them again.

Li Siqin's eyes rolled, and he immediately explained anxiously: "Secretary Xia, don't misunderstand, I don't mean to exclude you, I just want to explain your doubts." I, I ......"

"Miss Li, I understand. It's just that Haitong is worried that it will be inappropriate for me to sit here now?"

"No, if it's not suitable, Siqin won't propose that the five of us come here together, so you don't have to worry. ”

Ye Chengzhi's voice is still like a spring breeze, but under his gentleness, there is a rare toughness. At this moment, the store manager took the menu, and the air pressure rose in an instant.

Xia Haitong looked at the delicious pastries on the menu, if she changed to usual, she would definitely have a great appetite, but when she saw the prices on the side, she could only look away. So she picked the cheapest coffee and didn't dare ask for anything else.

But the kind-hearted Li Siqin asked her suspiciously: "Secretary Xia, didn't you skip lunch, why do you only drink a cup of coffee?"

Xia Haitong laughed embarrassedly twice, and was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't have much money with me, so it's only enough to pay for a cup of coffee." ”

Ye Xueying, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "You don't have to pay for anything in the MVP room, so Secretary Xia can rest assured." ”

Li Siqin hurriedly took over: "Oh, you see I forgot that Secretary Xia is here for the first time, and I'm really sorry that I didn't make it clear to you." ”

When she heard these words, Xia Haitong felt that she was simply possessed by Grandma Liu, and it was the first time she had entered the Rongguo Mansion, and the veritable Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Just when she was embarrassed, Ye Chengzhi said to the store manager: "Scharzaelder, croissant."

Hearing these two words, the store manager was stunned, and Ye Chengzhi said calmly: "Siqin, your store manager can't even understand such basic words, isn't he incompetent?"

Without waiting for Li Siqin to reply, Ye Chengxuan, who was already silent, said: "Chengzhi, this is the Li family's housework, and it's tea time, don't talk about these boring things." "Give this lady a Black Forest and croissant, and a doughnut." ”

Xia Haitong was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly stopped: "No need, I just want a cup of hot cappuccino." ”

Ye Xueying was puzzled: "Why?"

Xia Haitong looked at Ye Xueying, smiled indifferently, and said, "Although you don't have to pay for eating here, I don't like the feeling of getting something for nothing, so I will pay for it myself." ”

Ye Xueying was a little surprised: "Do you really have to pay? But this is ...... It's rude, and you haven't eaten lunch, aren't you hungry?"

Xia Haitong groaned slightly: "I don't know that this will be rude, but I'd rather be rude than have a feeling of taking people's things for nothing." As for being hungry, it's a little, but it's going to be dinner soon, so it's okay, and drinking coffee is as full as it gets, and that's enough. ”

Ye Xueying looked at Xia Haitong with a complicated expression, she felt that this girl was very different from others, at least in her life circle, no one would say the words "coffee is enough to have a full stomach".

Ye Chengzhi cast an approving look at Xia Haitong, he just likes such a simple and honest girl, but he still said: "Drinking coffee on an empty stomach hurts the stomach, if you insist on paying the bill, I will pay for you." ”

"No, how can this be. ”

"It's very common for a boss to invite a subordinate to afternoon tea occasionally, so you don't have to worry so much. ”

Li Siqin, who was on the side, suddenly took Xia Haitong's hand and said bitterly: "Secretary Xia, although you and I are only meeting for the third time this time, I have long regarded you as friends, so don't be so outside, okay? Or, what did Siqin say just now that made you feel uncomfortable? If so, Siqin apologizes to you, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

Xia Haitong hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Miss Li is serious! Haitong has such an idea purely personally!"

"In that case, Secretary Xia shouldn't be so polite, just treat me as the east, how about inviting Secretary Xia once?"

Xia Haitong looked at Li Siqin in embarrassment, and finally had to nod.

The store manager wiped a handful of sweat, repeated the menu once before walking out tremblingly, shouting in his heart that he was wronged, he asked himself that his English level is that the IELTS and TOEFL exams are close to full scores, not to mention the pastry drinks in the store, he basically knows the English reading of common cake drinks. The pronunciation of Ye Chengzhi's two words just now is definitely not the pronunciation of English, it is more like the pronunciation of German and French, so he was stunned and didn't know what Ye Chengzhi was talking about!

After a while, all the things they ordered arrived, Xia Haitong tasted the pastries here, although this small piece of cake costs hundreds of pieces, but as the outside world said, the things here really have healing powers, and this place is worthy of being called "a dream country to heaven".

The five of them enjoyed the afternoon tea time, and they had a very comfortable time, and the topic of chatting was much more relaxed. The sky was getting dark, and just as everyone wanted to leave the table, Li Siqin suddenly asked Ye Chengxuan: "Chengxuan, will I have dinner at your house tonight?"

Hearing this, Ye Xueying said happily: "Of course, Sister Siqin, you haven't come to our house for dinner for a long time, you must come today!"

Li Siqin smiled softly and said, "Xue Ying, your eldest brother hasn't agreed yet, even if I want to go, I have to ask him." ”

Ye Xueying looked at Ye Chengxuan and said as a matter of course: "Don't ask the eldest brother, he will definitely agree." ”

Having said that, everyone still turned their heads to look at Ye Chengxuan, except for Xia Haitong.

Xia Haitong just lowered her head and drank her cappuccino, but her ears pricked up.

"Xue Ying is right, Siqin, if you want to come to my house for dinner, you don't need to ask me, just come directly. ”

Li Siqin raised the corners of her mouth, but at this moment, Ye Chengxuan said again: "It's just that I won't go home for dinner tonight, so I can't accompany you." ”

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and Ye Chengzhi and Ye Xueying felt that Ye Chengxuan had gone too far, and Ye Xueying even said that she was upset for Li Siqin.

In this regard, Ye Chengxuan just smiled and said: "In the future, I will meet you every day when I get married to Sister Siqin, do you think you still need to be in a hurry?"

As he spoke, he hugged Li Siqin into his arms and said, "Siqin, did you say it?"

Ye Xueying blushed slightly, and Ye Chengzhi also looked away a little embarrassed, while Li Siqin just glanced at Xia Haitong, who was drinking cappuccino with his head down, and said coquettishly: "Chengxuan, Secretary Xia is also here, and you are not afraid of Secretary Xia's jokes." ”

Ye Chengxuan squinted slightly and said, "Secretary Xia won't laugh at us, will he, Secretary Xia?"

Xia Haitong raised his head, looked at Ye Chengxuan and Li Siqin's picture of affection, raised an almost perfect soft smile, and said: "Miss Li and Ye Shao are so affectionate, they are really a model of lovers, how can Haitong laugh at them?"

Ye Xueying nodded and said, "The eldest brother and Sister Siqin are very affectionate, but it would be nice if the eldest brother could spend more time with Sister Siqin." ”

Ye Chengxuan let go of Li Siqin and said, "It's not early, I made an appointment to leave first." Brother, you can send your sister and Siqin home, as for Secretary Xia, it's okay for you to go back alone, right?"

Xia Haitong nodded: "Of course it doesn't matter." ”

Although Ye Chengzhi wanted to send Xia Haitong home, in front of Ye Xueying and the others, he still gave up this choice.

Xia Haitong did not go home directly after leaving the café, but first went to a nearby noodle restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles, compared to the extravagant pastries just now, this bowl of wonton noodles for seven yuan could feed her.

However, she came to eat wonton noodles with a famous brand, which attracted the attention of many people, mainly because everyone thought that she must be down-and-out or didn't run to business this month, and everyone sympathized with her. As for the famous brand on her body, everyone takes it for granted that it is a high imitation.

Xia Haitong thought while eating wonton noodles, it's time to buy some normal clothes and shoes by herself, otherwise she will go out dressed like this all day long, and it will be difficult for her not to be robbed.

Xia Haitong, who was full of food and drink, did not go home immediately, but came to the small park near the apartment, where she sat on a small swing rack, looking up at the stars in the sky, and thinking about some questions in her mind.

In the past, she really didn't believe that anyone had 369 or so on, or that she spurned this view, but after this afternoon, she began to feel that people were really divided into 369 and so on.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the modern version of 369 and so on are the working class, the middle class and the upper class, and the white point is food and clothing, well-off, petty bourgeoisie, and the rich.

If you are not a person in this circle, you can't understand the life of people in this circle. Xia Haitong didn't believe this sentence in the past, but after today, she believes it, and the facts are in front of her, can she not believe it?

She has a brand of goods, but so what? The upper class society is not something that can be stepped into with the economy, and it is also related to a person's background. She doesn't want the pheasant to become a phoenix, she is already satisfied if she can have a well-off home, and the reason why she has so many emotions is because of the fact that she feels so far away from that person.

He was on top of the ladder, he could call the wind and rain, and he would effortlessly help her solve what she thought was the most difficult problem, and she was just a person who worked hard for life, and in her world she could only understand that food was to be paid, and she never thought that such behavior would be rude.

Xia Haitong hooked the corners of her mouth, no wonder she always felt that she couldn't touch Ye Chengxuan, obviously he was so close to herself, but she felt that he was very ethereal. Why can't he understand his own mind, and he can't understand his own mind. They always treat each other as outliers, but in fact they are not outliers, but they have different life circles.

She suddenly remembered what she had said to him, and now she thought about it, what to help him understand him, these words were really ridiculous, she thought, no wonder Ye Chengxuan had such a reaction at that time, if it was her, maybe it would be like this, because it was a fool's dream.

There was bound to be an insurmountable wall between them, and she knew that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to climb over it.
