I had just finished my class and walked out of the classroom, only to see my biological mother with three sisters and a brother.
"My dear, there you are. I finally found you!"
She spoke up.
Instantly, it caught the attention of people around.
Many students in the corridor gathered around, watching the scene.
"Oh, um... do you have something to discuss? It's almost mealtime, why don't we chat over food?"
I changed the subject, deliberately mentioning food.
Sure enough, their desire to speak turned into a big meal.
Surprised for a few seconds.
"Alright, let's have a meal then. Mom, we are also hungry. There's a Phoenix Restaurant nearby, shall we go there to eat?"
The second sister smiled and agreed immediately.
"Sure, that restaurant looks classy. Let's follow the fourth sister's lead."
The biological mother remained silent.
"No problem, let's go to the Phoenix Restaurant."
I pretended to be helpless.
They thought I was scared, so they became even more pleased, walking with a proud demeanor.
Along the way, the second sister kept talking incessantly.
"Xiaoxiao, your father, he's seriously ill. You are the most promising one, we have to rely on you."
The biological mother also kept chattering.
Since they wouldn't let me go, I didn't hold back either.
Bearing with them all the way, we finally arrived at the Phoenix Restaurant.
As soon as we entered the restaurant, the younger brother boldly stated.
I remained calm and didn't refuse.
They acted like big shots in the private room, directing this and ordering that.
...
Watching them bossing around, I stayed silent.
My silence made them think I was scared.
Soon, the food arrived.
The younger brother looked at the dishes with disdain.
The second sister, while eating the tender and savory ribs, didn't forget to speak.
They were not treating me like family at all.
They were simply taking advantage of me.
Roughly estimating, this meal would cost at least twenty thousand.
Although the biological mother and the eldest sister felt it was too expensive, they didn't say anything in the end.
As for Zhang Xue, my third sister, she sat on the side throughout, enjoying the meal with relish.
When more dishes arrived, they didn't bother asking me for money anymore.
Chopsticks flew, quickly devouring the food on the table.
The way they wolfed down the food made it seem like they hadn't eaten in centuries.
[Eat, eat. You'll regret it later.]
I quietly played with my phone. When I had captured their eating habits enough, I stood up and said, "You all continue eating, I'll go to the restroom!"
