The end of the world is coming: My waiter is too Buddhist
Chapter 224: I Don't Like Our Little Things
Following Wang Luo, Lin Xiaoxiao and the others quickly arrived at the guest room at the back which was surrounded by rockery and plants, with a small stream flowing in front of the house.
At first glance it has the flavor of an ancient house before the end of the world, but if you look closely you can find that the flowers, plants and trees here are already showing signs of decay, with leaves even covering the surface of the stream. At this moment, several servants in grey work clothes are fishing for fallen leaves by the stream.
Seeing Wang Luo appear, several people who were working immediately bowed to greet him. Their standard movements and the attitude of lowering their heads without looking around to get information showed that they were professionally trained. This made Lin Xiaoxiao have a clearer understanding of the power of the aristocratic family.
From the moment she entered the Wang family courtyard, she had seen many people, including housekeepers, cleaners, and even workers who specialized in pruning the flower beds. Each of them was like a programmed robot, perfect and without any unnecessary curiosity.
In modern times where everyone values equality, such loyalty and execution make Lin Xiaoxiao feel the control and caution of the noble family over the people around them.
It was through this that Lin Xiaoxiao realized more clearly that cooperating with aristocratic families was not an easy task. The conflict of interests involved was probably...
As a person who has not been exposed to power, Lin Xiaoxiao has begun to feel a little tired.
In particular, she could clearly feel that Wang's parents and the servants here seemed to regard her as the woman Wang Luo liked, and she keenly captured the vague inquiry and dissatisfaction.
So, when Wang Luo took her into the prepared guest room, she waved to Wang Luo to sit down and handed him a tomato that she took out from the system space backpack.
The juice overflowed after one bite, and Wang Luo squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"What, do you have something to say?"
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao staring at him while eating a tomato, Wang Luo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Ever since I became an adult, my parents have looked at the girls around me like their own daughters-in-law. They just have paranoid delusions."
Hearing this, the housekeeper who was in charge of gathering information outside the room almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but she held it back in order not to reveal her whereabouts.
"Ah? Your parents care about you so...so much?" As a child who has never felt much love from his or her parents since childhood, Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't quite understand this behavior.
"Yes, when I was little, they didn't let me play with other children. When I grew up, they didn't let me get too close to girls. They were afraid that as soon as I went out, my stupid son would be sold like a pig or a dog.
Well, it's because you're afraid that someone will covet our Wang family's assets. If it were you, who would be interested in these few melons and dates at home?"
Wang Luo complained mercilessly, but Lin Xiaoxiao did not dare to follow suit.
After all, it's someone else's family. As a polite and sensible child, how could she gossip about others behind their back?
So, after eating the tomato, Lin Xiaoxiao said solemnly: "No matter what, it's better not to let uncle and aunt misunderstand me. I just want to cooperate with the Wang family and don't consider other things."
She deliberately said this louder, because she knew very well that this was Wang's family, and it was impossible for Wang's parents not to send someone to investigate a woman who was suspected of seducing their son.
She said this to both Wang's parents and Wang Luo. Regardless of whether he had that intention or not, she didn't want any misunderstandings in this regard.
Taking up the tissue and carefully wiping off the tomato juice on his fingers, Wang Luo tilted his head to look at Lin Xiaoxiao with surprise in his eyes: "You really don't need me to cover for you. My father is a stingy person. You won't get any advantage by cooperating with him."
Lin Xiaoxiao also tilted her head and blinked her big eyes, smiling particularly brightly: "I know, but cooperation requires mutual consent. I believe that a smart man like Uncle Wang will definitely choose me as a sincere partner."
Ten minutes later, the housekeeper told Wang's parents exactly what she said. After listening, the two looked at each other and looked at the housekeeper again: "Did the girl really say that?"
"It's true."
After getting a definite answer, Wang Fugui waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to leave. In an instant, only the couple were left in the room.
"Fugui, maybe we really think too much. Luo'er is right. Maybe they really don't think highly of our Wang family."
As a woman, Wang Ying had already dispelled her doubts at this time, but she knew her husband's character, so she did not try to persuade him much.
Looking down at the tea leaves floating in the cup, Wang Fugui said in a cold voice: "Smart women always lie, and those words are just from Luo'er, who is so straightforward.
Since we want to cooperate, it depends on whether she can come up with something that interests me. If it's just weapons, there's no need for our Wang family to cooperate with a child like her."
He has already had the vine weapon that Lin Xiaoxiao took out sent for experiments and tests. If it is of no use, he will not cooperate for Wang Luo's sake.
This girl speaks very confidently, but I wonder if her trading products can be as confident.
After a night, Lin Xiaoxiao was awakened by the sound of birds the next day.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao walked to the window in her slippers and looked out, but the curtains with flower and bird patterns blocked her view.
As an antique building, the windows here are also made of wood, and the translucent curtains covering them are painted with many exquisite flower and bird patterns.
"Open the window."
"Ok sir, the window is open."
Following a burst of electronic mechanical sound, the window in front slowly closed, and the light from outside immediately filled the room.
Outside the window is a somewhat withered bamboo forest. At this moment, a few sparrows are jumping around on the bamboo branches and chirping.
"Well, it's another beautiful day!" Lin Xiaoxiao stretched like a cat and immediately felt much more awake. He went to wash up with full energy.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiaoxiao and Wang Luo, who was wearing pajamas and had a messy hair, rushed to the restaurant together. Wang Ying, who was wearing a plain cheongsam, had been waiting for them in the restaurant for a long time.
Putting down the book in her hand, Wang Ying greeted Lin Xiaoxiao with a smile: "Come on, the cook has made a lot of breakfast today, see if there is anything you like."
It seemed that Wang Ying understood that Lin Xiaoxiao had no intention of plotting against the Wang family's property. Her smile today was more genuine, and Lin Xiaoxiao readily followed suit and sat beside her.
"Thank you, I'm actually a little hungry."
Looking at the various breakfasts on the table, Lin Xiaoxiao picked out a cup of hot milk and some vegetarian buns. Tofu pudding and steamed buns were also essential.
The chef had put a lot of effort into preparing this breakfast, taking into account a variety of breakfasts from China, the West, and the North and South. Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of the noble family again.
In such an apocalypse, ordinary people are so hungry that they have to eat tree bark, but what the noble families eat and use is no different from before the apocalypse.
Thinking of the gangs that she had met in Yu City before who killed people for food, Lin Xiaoxiao became more determined to cooperate.
If she wants to survive in the apocalypse and protect the lovely people in the shelter, she must win this cooperation!
