Until she saw the black truffle hot pot on the menu, Chen Xiangling didn't react.

This is not the same thing as her imagination of "finding a place to eat and talking".

The restaurant is membership-based, and they have to sign up when they come in, and they look high-end, so magnificent that it doesn't look like a hot pot restaurant.

She frowned at the price of the menu, and finally Chen Wengang took it and ordered the bottom of the pot and the ingredients by herself.

The mushroom soup is boiling, the bottom of the pot is boiled with ginseng, and freeze-dried black truffles are added, and the more it is boiled, the fresher it becomes. There are Ezo scallops, wide-mouthed conch, and fresh fat sea crabs on the table, but Chen Xiangling only cares about the small receipt, and her eyes are round: "The two of us ordered almost a thousand!" ”

They don't drink alcohol, and they don't order so-called "top-notch" ingredients, but the price of this meal is not too outrageous.

Chen Wengang comforted her: "It's okay, once in a while." If you feel sorry for the money, eat more, don't waste it. ”

Usually he doesn't come to this kind of restaurant to consume alone, and Zheng Yucheng brought him here at the earliest. When the two of them went out, he naturally had to cooperate with Zheng Yucheng's consumption level. It is undeniable that when he was young, it was Zheng Yucheng who took him to see many so-called high-end places.

Today's special circumstances, luxury does not matter once.

The things can't be returned on the table, Chen Xiangling eats quietly, but this hot pot is also clean.

The white mist was thick, Chen Wengang propped his arms on the table, sat opposite and stared at her, his eyes as calm as water.

At this point, his purpose was finally exhausted: "Lingling, do you want to go to college?" ”

Chen Xiangling was stunned: "Brother, I'm about to graduate from vocational school." ”

Chen Wengang said: "What is so good about a high job? I'll find you a cram school, you cram for a year, take the pre-university exams in a social capacity. After passing the exam, I will study for a year of preparatory course, and then take the university entrance test. You're still young, just in time. ”

Chen Xiangling realized that he was not joking.

Of course not, Chen Wengang checked it out before he came: "Toss a little bit, it will take another two years, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just two big exams?" "He himself is a top student, as if it is easy to read any exam, "After passing the exam, choose a favorite university major, finish reading, graduate in the future, go to work if you want to work, and continue to study abroad if you want to see the world......"

Chen Xiangling was stunned: "Where did you get all this?" ”

Is this a coming-of-age ceremony? What kind of coming-of-age ceremony is this?

"Bell bell." Chen Wengang looked at her, "I'm not forcing you to choose this path. I'm telling you, if you want to, I can do it for you. If you want to do something else, I'm on your side. ”

Chen Xiangling scooped the mousse cake with a small spoon and really fell into deep thought.

Children with many brothers and sisters in the family will more easily understand what it means to have a bowl of water that cannot be flat. Parents prefer their younger brother, which can be seen with their eyes, and it is impossible not to be wronged, but what can be done if they are wronged? I can only make some plans for myself.

But my cousin's suggestion was also naïve and whimsical. Because her grades are really bad, she used to be at the bottom of the class.

Because of this, Chen Zeng and his wife said that she would go to a vocational high school, after all, she couldn't be admitted to college.

Chen Xiangling was so worried, so she said so.

Chen Wengang said: "You didn't have time to calm down and study before, so how can you know if you don't try it in a different environment." ”

Chen Xiangling thought again: "My parents will definitely not agree." ”

Chen Wengang said: "You are a big girl, you are an adult, you can make your own decisions." ”

"So how do you convince them?"

"Hide it first, and then talk about it if you get in."

"But what if I don't pass the test?"

"If you want to take the test, you can take the test for another year, if you don't take the test for two years, I can afford to take the test for a few years."

Chen Xiangling wanted to work early and go out of society as soon as possible to make money. If you can make money, you are self-reliant. It's just that now suddenly there is a single-plank bridge coming out, which is dangerous and tempting. I want to go up, but I am afraid, and if I don't go, I am afraid that I will miss this store in this village.

Chen Wengang was not in a hurry to urge her: "This semester is not over yet, you go back and think about it slowly, and it is not too late to decide during the summer vacation." ”

At this time, the waiter took a group of customers up to the second floor.

The people who came were noisy, and Chen Wengang frowned slightly when he looked over.

It's not often that my cousin has such a serious expression. Chen Xiangling was stunned for a moment, turned her head and followed his gaze.

The group of handsome men and women, not much older than her, noticed their table at the same time.

The eyes of the two waves of people met, they seemed to know Chen Wengang, but the relationship was obviously not good, and while sitting down, they whispered with mockery. Pointing fingers was not enough, and a young man even walked towards them, full of provocation.

The hot pot on their table has been turned off, and the soup base has a layer of oil flowers.

The man looked at the leftovers on the table: "Without Zheng Yucheng, why do you eat so shabby?" He smiled, pulled out a chair and sat down, beckoning to the waiter, "Add a few dishes." What is expensive today will be recorded in my account. ”

This fat man is here to find fault.

Chen Xiangling looked at him anxiously, and then at Chen Wengang, her eyes moving back and forth.

She has no experience in dealing with this kind of rich child who has no one in her eyes, and the other party has a big waist and a round waist, which gives people a sense of oppression in terms of wealth and tonnage. Chen Xiangling intuitively felt danger, and was even worried about whether they would suffer if they made a move.

"Young Master He, don't be so polite." Chen Wengang said coldly, "We have finished eating. ”

He looked at the other party indifferently, and the person who came was named He Jiajun. He Wanxin's brother.

Jincheng is one acre and three points of land, and there are famous and surnamed people who are dressed up, just such a basket, He Jiajun has a bad reputation in it.

As for He Wanxin, it is not so much that these two people have a deep relationship between brothers and sisters, but rather that they are a raccoon dog, and they both love to do evil.

About He Wanxin chased Zheng Yucheng and couldn't do it, He Jiajun met Chen Wengang and came to complain to his sister.

"My sister was implicated by your kid, and she was confined at home recently, so she wasn't allowed to go out." He squinted at Chen Xiangling, who looked like flowers and bones, "You are moving fast, new concubine?" That's good, little jasper. Zheng Yucheng also agrees with you to play wild food? ”

Chen Wengang said to Chen Xiangling: "Clean up, don't leave your things behind, let's go to settle the bill." ”

Chen Xiangling hurriedly picked up her book, and the bell on her braid rang directly.

She hurriedly walked around the table, and He Jiajun suddenly stretched out his legs, blocking her way.

"Little sister, you make a price, don't follow him, follow me." He gestured in the direction of Chen Wengang, "Don't you know his details?" I'm telling you, it's not that you are called rich if you are brought to this kind of place, but more likely ......"

"Xiangling!" Chen Wengang walked over from the other side, grabbed her, and said solemnly, "See? If you don't study, if you don't learn anything, you will become this kind of shameful virtue in the future. Let's go. ”

He Jiajun glared at him: "What did you kid say?" ”

Chen Wengang ignored him anymore, dragged Chen Xiangling and walked downstairs.

Bumping into He Jiajun today is considered bad luck for them. He Jiajun is arrogant and arrogant, but his heart is small, if Chen Wengang himself is here, but he still takes Chen Xiangling with him, in the end it is the best policy. If you are reckless, you are afraid of causing more trouble, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Chen Xiangling grabbed Chen Wengang's clothes and went downstairs with him, and in a panic, her arm knocked down the decorative crystal bottle on the wall shelf. The bottle fell to the ground and fell apart. It originally contained half a bottle of decorative stained glass balls, and it flowed all over the floor.

Chen Xiangling was worried that the unreasonable person would chase after him, but he heard a ping pong behind him.

She hurriedly turned around, but He Jiajun stepped on a few round glass balls on the soles of his feet and slipped backwards.

He first lost his balance, grabbed his hand in the air, leaned back, and then hit the back of his head against the chair, wow, and grinned in pain. The fox friend was also stunned by this change, reacted, and hugged him in the middle:

"How?"

"Lao He, how did you fall?"

"Don't move, don't move, see if it's bleeding?"

Chen Xiangling was stunned, her fingers clenched tightly, and she muttered: "Brother, I ......"

Chen Wengang dragged her undoubtedly: "Don't pay attention, go now, let him find me in the future if there is anything." ”

The waiter who had been hiding for a long time came over to stop him, but Chen Wengang glanced at him: "How much is that bottle?" ”

"One, a thousand......" the waiter stammered, "But, but you ......"

went to the cashier to swipe the card to settle the bill, Chen Wengang took out a stack of cash from his wallet, counted it, it was almost a thousand, he threw the money on the counter, said to pay for the bottle, and without waiting for the cashier to react, he took Chen Xiangling out of the door.

Walking out of the street at a rapid pace, making sure that no one was following them, they stopped on the side of the road and reached out to hail a taxi.

Chen Xiangling couldn't say that she was afraid or guilty, hung her head, grabbed Chen Wengang's sleeve and kept silent.

The taxi stopped, and Chen Wengang opened the door for her: "Don't be afraid, he just has a grudge with me, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Chen Xiangling shook her head, wanting to say that she was not afraid of this, but her body was shaking because of her emotions.

She didn't know the circle of her cousin's life before, and her parents portrayed it as if it were a human being.

For the first time at close range, the so-called Venerable turned out to be so shallow and disrespectful.

Thinking like this, Chen Wengang grabbed her shoulder.

The place where the taxi stops is Wanghai Restaurant.

He took Chen Xiangling in, and business was booming at this time. Lu Chenlong, who had just parted in the morning, was called out of the back kitchen by the waiter, and Chen Wengang pointed to him: "This is my brother's good friend." Call me if something happens, and if it's too late, you come to him. ”

Lu Chenlong, who heard the original story, was amazed, but he still patted his chest and assured that the kitchen knife in his hand was not an ornament.

Chen Xiangling watched him play treasure, and finally sneered and shook hands with him embarrassedly.

Chen Wengang gave Lu Chenlong a few words of advice before sending Chen Xiangling home. When she arrived at the familiar territory, she was shocked, but she was worried about whether to pay for the medical expenses, and she was uneasy.

Chen Wengang gave her a haircut: "Don't think about anything else, you only think about going to college now." ”

"Okay." Chen Xiangling said, "I ...... I'm just a little bottomless. ”

"Then you can imagine what kind of life you want to live in this life."

Chen Xiangling nodded and shouted brother: "What about you, have you thought about it?" ”

It was already dark, and the street lights were faint on Chen Wengang's body, outlining a quiet and hazy outline.

I didn't think about it. He had already experienced the ups and downs of his life in his previous life. He has walked all the roads that should be taken, and he has fought the battles that should be fought. He had seen the Vanity Fair's Xuan He and hypocrisy, and he had been lucky enough to do something meaningful.

He said to Chen Xiangling: "If a person can start a family and start a business, he is already very favored by God." ”

Chen Xiangling didn't seem to understand, but he felt that he was a little sad, so he didn't ask again.

Before leaving, Chen Wengang transferred a sum of money to her, saying that it was pocket money: "Whether it is to buy books, or to eat or play, you can do whatever you want." You use it by yourself, don't tell your parents, Guangzong, and Yaozu. ”

Chen Xiangling was about to refuse first, but was amused and pursed her lips: "Okay...... I'll pay you back when I earn it later. ”

"Let's talk about it when you get rich later." Chen Wengang bent his fingers and tapped her forehead, "Making a fortune can solve most of the troubles in my life, and then I will count on a promising sister to support me." Okay, let's go back. ”
