Chapter 1144 Retreat
"Okay, you can leave now." As the leader of the quintuplets, Huo Dong waved his hand habitually.
"Yes." The shopkeeper bowed, turned around and left the private room with his waiter.
Huo Zhong lowered his head and ate his food without saying a word. In his heart, he was still angry that his four brothers suspected that Li Siwei was not a good person.
"Little sister, don't just eat rice, eat some vegetables." Huo Dong considerately helped her pick up some vegetables.
Huo Nan and Huo Xi also helped her pick up some food and said in unison...
"Little sister, you are much thinner than the rest of us, and you are a head shorter. People who don't know would think that your brother has taken all your nutrients away. You should eat more to make up for the nutrients."
Huo Zhong's bowl was piled up into a small mountain in an instant.
Huo Zhong was originally very angry, but when he saw the food in the bowl, he couldn't help laughing...
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, are you stupid? I am a girl, and my development is different from that of boys. It is normal for girls to be shorter. It is not a problem of eating."
"You give me so many dishes, are you trying to turn me into a pig?"
The three brothers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw their sister finally smile, and said in unison...
"I am not a pig, I am a beauty."
"That's right. Daddy said that there are two beauties in our family. The beautiful mother is the big beauty, and the little sister is the little beauty."
Huo Zhong was coaxed by his three brothers and his mood instantly improved. While eating, he chatted with them and completely forgot all the unpleasant things that had happened just now.
Li Siwei sat aside, with his head down the whole time, eating carefully. He was timid and seemed very inferior and reserved.
Half an hour later.
When they finished their meal and walked out of the private room, Huo Dong went to the counter to pay the bill, but was told that the shopkeeper had already instructed that their table would not be charged.
Huo Dong raised his eyebrows and said fiercely, "Hey, hey, hey, this won't do. If I don't pay for the meal, my beautiful mother will beat me to death when I get home. Did your shopkeeper deliberately let me make a mistake so that my beautiful mother can beat me?"
"Tell me, when did I offend your boss? Did he deliberately make trouble for me?"
When the clerk sitting at the counter heard this, he was scared to death and quickly told the news to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper also panicked when he heard this.
This was the first time he had encountered a situation where he offended an important person by not charging for the meal.
He hurried to the counter and explained to Huo Dong that he just wanted to treat them to a meal and had no other bad intentions.
Huo Dong certainly knew what the shopkeeper was thinking, but he couldn't rely on his status to make the shopkeeper suffer. Of course, the most important thing was that he couldn't ruin the reputation of the palace for a meal.
He put a thick stack of banknotes on the counter and said impatiently...
"Boss, since you don't want me to make a mistake, please quickly calculate the meal money. I still have to go back to the academy to study."
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper picked up the abacus, calculated a little, and said that only five hundred taels of silver would be enough.
After saying that, he reached out and took out five of the silver bills that Huo Dong had placed on the counter, and returned the rest to Huo Dong.
"Hehehe..., Master, 500 taels of silver notes are enough, you can take these back."
"Okay." Huo Dong nodded, reached out to take the silver note back and put it in his arms, then he walked out of the restaurant with his younger brother and sister and took a carriage back to the academy.
