The diagnosis for the boy’s mother was not that serious. Gao Wen asked her family to hire the most professional doctor and let her cooperate with treatment for a period of time before she completely recovered.
This matter should have come to an end, but coincidentally, Gao Wen happened to pass by a side street once and saw the boy playing by the roadside.
It was already winter, and the snow on the streets had been compacted by human flow and was trodden dirty.
The little boy did not touch the snow on the ground. He just started playing football alone.
Gao Wen asked the chauffeur to park the car by the roadside a little further away. She got out of the car and walked up to the boy. She smiled at him and said, “Hi, Xiao Zhi. Why are you playing alone outside again? Where’s your mother?”
When the little boy saw Gao Wen, his bright eyes couldn’t help but widen. Right on the heels of that, a sweet smile hung on his lips. “Mommy and Daddy are busy greeting guests. Sister, my mother’s cooking is very delicious. Do you want to try it too?”
“Sure,” Gao Wen agreed readily.
The little boy naturally took her hand and slowly walked her back to the small restaurant run by his family.
When the busy couple saw Gao Wen, they immediately beamed, and the fatigue on their faces suddenly disappeared. “Miss Gao, it’s good to see you again. Sit here and wait for us. We’ll be back soon after getting something!”
Gao Wen nodded patiently. She sat at the dining table and sized up the medium-sized restaurant.
It was noon, the busiest time in the cafeteria. The only empty table in the restaurant was still occupied by her alone. The other tables were filled with diners.
The entire hall was filled with the fragrance of food. Gao Wen sniffed carefully and realized that the fragrance was not inferior to those that emanated from the food made by top chefs in her family. No wonder the business of this shop was so brisk.
The couple did not dare to let Gao Wen wait. After a while, they returned with a heavy paper bag.
The woman stood nervously beside Gao Wen and carefully handed the paper bag to her. She said timidly, “Xiao Zhi is young and insensible. I’ve really made you spend a lot of money the last time. The two of us have saved up enough money recently. I was thinking that we must see you again and return the money to you personally.”
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment. She slowly lowered her head and looked at the stacks of notes neatly stacked in the paper bag. A trace of shock appeared on her face. “Why do you have to return the money to me? I wanted to repay Xiao Zhi for saving my life.”
“Sigh, it’s nothing for the child. There’s no need to talk about saving your life. Even without Xiao Zhi, a good person like you will definitely be safe!” The woman was grateful to Gao Wen from the bottom of her heart. Afraid that she wouldn’t accept it, she pushed the paper bag in front of her.
The man saw the hesitation in Gao Wen’s eyes and his heart skipped a beat. He came to a realization and said, “Is it because the money isn’t enough? How much more do you think we need? We’ll definitely make it up to you as soon as possible!”
Gao Wen shook her head helplessly and smiled. She stood up and placed the paper bag back into the woman’s arms. “You don’t have to return this money. I said that I won’t change my mind about wanting to repay you. Besides, I don’t lack this bit of money.”
Her words were so straightforward that the couple felt a little ashamed. The money bag in their hands suddenly became hot.
The woman stammered and wanted to hand the paper bag over again, but Gao Wen glared at her intimidatingly. Her heart trembled and she retracted her hand.
Only then did Gao Wen smile in satisfaction. She lowered herself to the chair and took out a tissue to wipe the table. She said matter-of-factly, “If you really think you owe me, I haven’t eaten yet. Treat me to lunch.”
The couple was stunned for a moment before they reacted and hurriedly nodded. “Alright, alright, alright. Wait a moment. I’ll cook for you now!” “Lady Boss, why haven’t the dishes on my table been served yet? How long will it take?” A guest at the dining table at the innermost corner knocked on the table impatiently and looked over unhappily.
The woman hurriedly apologized to him. “I’m sorry, I had something on just now. I’ll make it for you now! I’ll give you another side dish for free, okay?”
“All, alright then. Hurry up. I’m still in a hurry to go back and rest. I still have to continue working in the afternoon!”
Seeing that the lady boss had a good attitude and there was something to be gained, that person immediately suppressed his temper and didn’t say anything.
Only then did the sound of pots and pans colliding come from the kitchen again. When the woman came out again, her forehead was already covered in sweat.
She casually wiped her sweat with her sleeve and personally carried the dishes to the dining table in front of her. She immediately returned to cook. The man was also busy at the front desk. From time to time, he had to enter the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Gao Wen supported her chin with her hand and looked at it for a while. She asked the boy beside her curiously, “Your family’s business is so good. Why haven’t you considered hiring a few waiters?”
“In the past, there was a sister.” Xiao Zhi blinked his round eyes and replied word byword, “But Sister left. Mom said that Sister was bullied and we have to wait for Sister to come back..”
