Halfway through the meal, Huo Yao got up to go to the bathroom.
The restaurant was one of the most high-end restaurants in the city. Even the rich could not get in without a membership or a reservation, so there were a lot of customers.
After Huo Yao came out of the bathroom, she deliberately raised her eyes and scanned the entire hall. It was really full.
When she was ordering, she even looked at the prices. Even a random dish cost three digits … Her family probably wasn't as simple as just having an average amount of money.
Huo Yao sighed and veered her eyes away. She was about to head back when she bumped into a familiar face.
"Why are you here?" He Xiaoman looked at Huo Yao with slight puzzlement on her exquisitely made-up face.
She had gone through a lot to get a reservation at this restaurant, so she had invited a few rich ladies out for dinner.
Although it was only a booth in the hall, it was still very prestigious.
It did not make sense for her foster daughter to be here.
Huo Yao did not expect to bump into the Lu family while having a meal in such a small world. She glanced at He Xiaoman calmly without saying a word.
He Xiaoman raised her head and looked around. Since they were in a public place, she took two steps closer to Huo Yao and said in a disdainful tone, "Is the Huo family so poor that you have to work as a waitress?"
The minimum cost of a meal at this restaurant was a few thousand yuan. She did not think that her foster daughter could afford it. After all, she had grown up in the countryside and probably did not even have the guts to come in.
She had no other choice but to be a waitress.
The restaurant manager, who was keeping an eye on Huo Yao, glanced expressionlessly at the woman talking to Huo Yao.
How dare she call Huo Yao a waitress?
The restaurant manager waved at the head waiter and whispered some instructions to him.
Huo Yao did not notice the restaurant manager. Instead, she looked at He Xiaoman with an ambiguous smile and suddenly sighed. "Yes, the Huo family is really poor."
The restaurant manager, who was sneaking up behind Huo Yao, stumbled and nearly fell when he heard Huo Yao's words.
The Huo family was poor?
Huo Yao must have some misunderstanding about the word 'poor'.
Although He Xiaoman felt that her adopted daughter's attitude was strange, she didn't think too much about it. She also didn't pay attention to the restaurant manager who was passing by. She only smiled and said, "Don't pretend if you're poor. After all, pretending also costs money."
He Xiaoman couldn't help but recall the last time she was kind enough to let the Huo couple work at a subsidiary company of Lu Enterprises. As an adopted daughter, she had asked for a high salary. She found it hilarious.
Huo Yao nodded solemnly. "Yes, you are right."
He Xiaoman frowned subconsciously when she heard that.
She looked at Huo Yao. In the past, Huo Yao had always been arrogant and rude when she interacted with her foster daughter. Why was she so humble today?
Even though He Xiaoman was perplexed, she did not want to spend too much time with her foster daughter. She did not want her rich friends to laugh at her. She patted her arms as though she was trying to get rid of the dirt on her body from approaching Huo Yao.
"Remember your identity. You're not allowed to say that you know me here, understand?" He Xiaoman warned in a low voice.
She raised her chin and walked past Huo Yao without looking at her as she headed for the washroom.
She looked as arrogant as she could be.
