After getting off the bus, Chang Yuan began to introduce the restaurant to the two children.

"Maxim's is not only the most expensive French restaurant, but also a sanctuary for avant-garde art. Cui Jian's 'Nothing to My Name' premiered here."

"It's not just about bringing you here to try the food, but mainly to let you experience the unique atmosphere."

"This is the perfect time for afternoon tea."

The siblings were very grateful that Chang Yuan was willing to bring them here.

They are still children, and in many places, they must be accompanied by an adult to enter.

Chang Yuan is the only one in the family who is suitable to bring them here.

For the sake of family harmony, Ye Zhao will not make any demands.

Everything was done voluntarily by Chang Yuan.

"Also, you must wear formal attire and observe French dining etiquette to enter; otherwise, you won't be allowed in even if you have money."

The brother and sister looked at each other.

Chang Yuan must have planned this in advance. Although she didn't say anything when she left, she asked the two children to change their clothes.

Li Tian was wearing a cotton dress underneath a cashmere coat.

Li Muchen was wearing an autumn/winter suit with a cashmere overcoat.

That's considered formal attire.

The waiter at the door saw them and politely led them inside.

The restaurant's decor is very luxurious.

It's dazzling to look at.

Chang Yuan seemed to have been here before, and introduced the place to the brother and sister, saying, "From the chandeliers and murals to the stained glass, they are said to be replicas of the original store. Coming here is like entering an 18th-century palace."

Honestly, walking in such a magnificent lobby, I really felt embarrassed to wear a cotton-padded coat.

Chang Yuan led them to a seat by the window.

The waiter brought over an exquisite menu.

Chang Yuan didn't try to hide it from the waiter, but she didn't raise her voice either.

"Both in China and abroad, it is generally accepted that the man pays. If a man and a woman come in, the menu that the man receives will have prices, but that that the woman will not."

Chang Yuan ordered himself a cup of coffee.

I ordered orange juice for the two kids.

We also ordered their classic strawberry Napoleon and mille-feuille.

Li Tian took the menu and looked at it.

A cup of coffee costs 5 yuan.

Five yuan in the 5s was really expensive.

Li Tian didn't look any further; even a Michelin-starred restaurant wasn't quite to her taste.

When she has money in the future, she won't spend it on this just to save face.

Unless someone is treating.

Li Muchen also took a look.

After watching, I didn't order anything else.

Chang Yuan returned the menu to the waiter.

"Please wait a moment, everyone."

The waiter left politely.

"Tian Tian, ​​is that Guo Lin's mother sitting over there?"

Li Tian followed Li Muchen's gaze and looked over.

It is indeed Guo Lin's mother.

But the man opposite her was not Guo Lin's father.

Perhaps it was just normal social interaction, so Li Tian didn't pay much attention.

Even if something is wrong, she can't be bothered to look at it.

As society has opened up, people are also constantly adapting to the times.

Those who control various resources, in particular, are eager to make their move.

For many years to come, people with power will use it to inflate their own egos.

The era of rampant speculation surrounding official permits is inevitable.

While ordinary people are busy making ends meet, some are busy getting rich first.

The drinks and desserts are not made fresh.

It was served very quickly.

Li Tian first took a sip of juice, then used a small fork to taste a bite of Napoleon.

"Aunt Chang, this juice is just so-so, not much different from other places, but this dessert is really delicious and not greasy at all."

Chang Yuan put down her coffee.

"like?"

Li Tian nodded.

Chang Yuan smiled.

"Then pack a few pieces to go later, so your grandparents can have some too."

Li Tian smiled and responded, then lowered her head to continue eating.

Li Muchen understood Li Tian's feelings for her new aunt.

I don't reject them, but they're also hard to get close to.

We've already done our best to get along well and maintain respect.

So in these situations, even though he doesn't like to talk much, he'll chat with Chang Yuan for a bit to make the atmosphere between the three of them more harmonious.

When the relationship is good, both parties feel comfortable.

"Xiao Yuan?"

A very gentlemanly man stood beside their table.

Chang Yuan stood up.

"Hello, He Jue."

The man extended his right hand and shook hands with Chang Yuan.

Are you alone?

The brother and sister looked at each other.

Are they not considered human?

"Let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Li Tian, ​​and my nephew, Li Muchen."

Having already been introduced, the brother and sister could only stand up and greet the people.

"Uncle He".

"Uncle He".

He Jue squinted and stared at Li Tian for a moment.

He didn't even spare a glance for Li Muchen.

This is very rude in social situations.

Chang Yuan sat down unhappily.

The brother and sister sat back down as well.

He Jue looked at Chang Yuan with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Xiao Yuan, may I have a word with you in private?"

Chang Yuan shook her head.

"We don't keep secrets from each other, so let's talk about it here."

Li Tian also stared at He Jue.

Judging from the looks of it, this person is very likely her father's rival in love.

Openly poaching someone's partner?

But she didn't say anything rashly, as she had to save face for Chang Yuan.

He Jue pulled out a stool and sat down.

"I'm almost ready. Don't you want to go see Cambridge?"

Chang Yuan shook her head expressionlessly.

"I don't want to think about it right now; we can talk about it another time."

He Jue crossed his arms, his face showing a stubborn and unwilling expression.

"Xiao Yuan, can you think about it again?"

Chang Yuan placed the coffee cup heavily on the table.

"He Jue, please get this straight. I'm already married. Even if I'm going abroad, it has nothing to do with you."

He Jue was still unwilling to give up.

"Do you really love that widower with the child? Are you happy together? Can he take good care of you?"

Chang Yuan's face darkened, and he extended his right hand.

"The widower you're talking about is my husband. Disrespecting him is disrespecting me."

"Please leave. We don't welcome you sitting here, and don't ever show your face in front of me again."

"Xiao Yuan..."

A grown man, yet he called out in such a delicate way.

Li Tian rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.

Li Yuanchao isn't here, so who are you putting on this for?

That's boring!

Chang Yuan gestured for him to enter again.

"We're not that close. Please call me Dr. Chang when we meet again."

"Xiao Yuan..."

Is this person like a stubborn, unyielding plaster?

That's so annoying.

Spending so much money on afternoon tea is such a disappointment!

Li Tian took out an itching powder capsule from the medicine bottle in her small handbag.

Place the napkin on your lap.

I opened the capsule and sprinkled half of the powder onto it.

Close the capsule and put it back in the bottle.

Li Tian, ​​clutching a napkin sprinkled with itching powder, shook it at He Jue's collar as she passed by.

He Jue remained vigilant and turned to glance at Li Tian.

What are you doing?

Li Tian continued walking and stood next to Chang Yuan.

"Nothing, just passing by."

"Are you ignorant about the law? Breaking up a military marriage is illegal."

"I advise you to have some self-awareness. If you were charming enough, you wouldn't be offering this hindsight advice now."

He Jue wanted to retort, but shrugged uncomfortably.

It moved again very quickly.

Just as she was about to say something more to Chang Yuan, her neck started to itch unbearably.

He stood up awkwardly.

"Goodbye..."

He Jue left in a panic, his impeccable gentlemanly demeanor completely gone.
