When the car arrived at the parking lot outside the door, before it could stop, the security guard came over to assist with parking. The service was very good.

"Why did you bring me here? Did you invite friends to dinner?"

Li Man unbuckled his seat belt and followed him out of the car suspiciously, thinking that he knew a young man like Gu Huaixi, so it was possible for him to come here to eat.

Shen Muting said calmly: "Your hand is injured. I'll take you out for a good meal."

"This store is quite expensive." Li Man said as he took the lead to walk in. After walking a few steps, seeing that Shen Muting didn't follow, he urged him softly, "Didn't you say you'd like to treat me to dinner? Come on, I'll hungry."

Shen Muting twitched his lips and led her to the box.

The waiter handed over two menus.

Shen Muting looked at the menu and said calmly: "It's not that this restaurant is quite expensive. I thought you would be reluctant to pay for this meal."

"Mr. Shen is treating me to a treat. Is there anything I can't bear to do? This is my first time in such a high-end restaurant."

Rongji is a Michelin Chinese restaurant. It is said to be designed by the designer of Amanfayun. The decoration is stylish and the food prices are very impressive.

Shen Muting skillfully ordered several signature dishes such as casserole fish head, crispy pigeon, and Rongji yellow croaker soup, like a regular here. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Li Man, "You can order a few more you like."

Li Man bit her glossy lips and was looking at the desserts. After hearing this, she didn't order anything and closed the menu directly, "There are only two of us, three dishes are enough."

Seeing that she obviously liked desserts but was so restrained, Shen Muting added some osmanthus and chestnut ice cream.

This was Li Man's first time to eat at such a high-end restaurant.

Although Shen Rui is from the Shen family, her presence in the Shen family is very low, so she doesn't have much money. When she was dating before, she had never been to such a high-end restaurant.

Li Man changed his previous habit of eating in large quantities and savored it slowly.

The food tastes very good, especially the osmanthus and chestnut ice cream at the end, which is cold, delicate, sweet and delicious.

After slowly finishing the ice cream ball, she licked her lips with satisfaction.

Shen Muting looked at it, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and an undercurrent surged in his eyes, "Is it delicious?"

The voice was slightly hoarse.

Li Man nodded: "It's delicious."

"Like sweets?"

"Yes, I like it very much. When I was a kid, my brother would always have a birthday cake for his birthday. It was a big, three-tier birthday cake. No one remembered my birthday. I am obviously the eldest lady, but I have to do a lot of housework like a servant. I just felt that life was too bitter, and I gradually fell in love with sweets.”

Li Man didn't have any other emotions when talking about old things, she even smiled.

Shen Muting has read countless people, but he can't see through her.

She is obviously a 24-year-old girl. I don't know if it is because she has been in prison, but her eyes are deep and vicissitudes of life, as if she has seen everything. No one or thing can shock her heart, and she doesn't look like a little girl anymore.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Man stood up from the dining chair and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, and you'll wait for me downstairs?"

"Okay, let's go."

Shen Muting picked up his suit jacket and followed her out of the box.

The man went downstairs, and Li Man went to the bathroom alone.

She came out of the stall and went to the sink to wash her hands, not noticing anyone else coming and going.

Zhong Shiyue was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror when suddenly a familiar face appeared in her sight. Although she tried her best to suppress the surprise, her eyes still lit up, as if she were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board, and a gleam flashed through her eyes. .

She was worried about how to contact her, and she came to her door. She was indeed her good daughter.

Zhong Shiyue put away her lipstick and put it in her bag. When Li Man turned to leave, she also turned around, but the next second she suddenly fainted.

Li Man quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands, "Auntie, are you okay?"

Zhong Shiyue pretended to be dizzy and said weakly: "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy. I have low blood sugar."

"There is a stool outside, I will help you over."

Li Man supported Zhong Shiyue and sat on the white bench outside the bathroom.

Zhong Shiyue abandoned her husband and daughter that year, and Li Shirong threw away everything related to her. After he remarried, it was even less likely to mention her again.

When Li Man was so young, she had no memory of her mother at all. Later, she lived with her grandma, and her grandma never mentioned her biological mother.

Li Man had been curious about his mother before and had expectations.

However, life had worn away her expectations little by little, until she received that phone call a few days ago, which made her completely give up.

Her own mother didn't love her and was plotting against her. There was nothing more heartbreaking than this in the world.

For such a dear mother, just pretend that she doesn’t exist.

Zhong Shiyue took good care of herself, wore exquisite makeup, and did not show her age at all. She behaved like a lady, and she was full of elegance and charm tempered by a privileged life.

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Man to recognize her.

Zhong Shiyue had someone investigate Li Man, and now she saw him with her own eyes, far more beautiful than in the photos.

Beauty is a woman's greatest asset.

"Auntie, are you feeling better?" Li Man said, interrupting Zhong Shiyue's thoughts.

Zhong Shiyue said hurriedly: "I'm still a little dizzy, could you please help me get a piece of chocolate from the bag?"

"Ok."

Li Man opened her Hermès handbag, quickly found the box of chocolates, and took one from it.

Godiva's chocolates are packaged in golden foil, simple and luxurious.

Zhong Shiyue took one, calmed down, and said with a grateful face, "Little girl, thank you. If it weren't for you, something big would have happened to me today. I'm getting older, and the consequences of falling in the bathroom would be disastrous. Come on Let’s have a late night snack here, I’ll treat you to it.”

"No, Auntie, I'm full."

Zhong Shiyue immediately said: "Then I'll pay the bill."

"No, no, I've already paid for it."

"Then leave your phone number. Auntie will invite you out for dinner when I have a chance in the future. Thank you very much."

"No need really, it's just a little effort." Li Man declined.

"That's alright. I'm quite destined to you. At least leave your number."

Zhong Shiyue insisted, and Li Man thought it would be okay to leave a phone number, so he gave his number.

Zhong Shiyue pressed the dial button. When Li Man's cell phone ringtone came to her mind, she hung up. "You should also save my number. My last name is Shi."

"Okay, Aunt Shi."

Li Man responded, but never thought about seeing her again.

Seeing that she was not coming, Shen Muting went upstairs to find someone and saw her being held by a woman who looked like a noble lady with a familiar gesture.

When Li Man saw Shen Muting, he immediately said hello to Zhong Shiyue, got up and left.

She and Shen Muting walked out side by side, "Why are you here?"

Shen Muting teased: "If you haven't come down for so long, I thought you fell into the toilet."

Then he asked again, "Do you know the person just now?"

Li Man shook his head, "I don't know her. She almost fainted due to low blood sugar. I helped her up, so it took some time."
