Chapter 440: Did Your Family Force You To Become A Waitress?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yao stood up and went to the bathroom halfway through lunch.

It was a five-star restaurant, so even if people could afford eating here, they were unable to get tables without either a membership or reservation. It was peak hours at the restaurant since it was lunchtime.

After Huo Yao left the bathroom, she studied the restaurant to see that it was completely full.

She had looked at the prices on the menu when she was ordering. Even the cheapest dish started at three figures, so her family was probably more than just a little rich.

Huo Yao sighed as she veered her eyes away. Just as she was about to head back to her table, she unexpectedly encountered a familiar face.

“What are you doing here?” He Xiaoman’s exquisitely done-up face looked puzzled.

Since she had managed to get a table at the restaurant after a lot of effort, she invited a few rich ladies in her circle to join her.

Even though it was just a booth in the main hall, it was considered to be impressive.

Hence, it did not make sense for her foster daughter to turn up here.

Huo Yao felt that it was really a small world for her to encounter someone from the Lu family here. She glanced at her calmly without saying a word.

He Xiaoman raised her head to look around. Considering the restaurant she was in, she took two steps towards Huo Yao before she said discreetly in disdain, “Are you so broke that your family forced you to become a waitress?”

The minimum spending for each table was several thousand. She certainly did not think that her foster daughter was capable of footing the bill. Since Huo Yao grew up in the countryside, she probably did not even have the guts to enter such a posh restaurant.

The only reason she could show up here was if she were a waitress.

The manager was watching Huo Yao’s every move nearby. He expressionlessly glanced at the woman talking to Huo Yao.

How could she say that Huo Yao was a waitress?

The manager waved for the supervisor to come over and whispered a few words into his ear.

Huo Yao failed to notice the manager’s actions. She smiled ambiguously at He Xiaoman and suddenly sighed sadly. “Uh huh. The Huo family is absolutely poor.”

The manager was sneaking up behind Huo Yao when he nearly stumbled after he heard what Huo Yao said about the Huo family being poor.

Was the Huo family poor?

Miss Huo Yao must have some misunderstanding about the word ‘poor’.

Although He Xiaoman found her foster daughter’s attitude to be strange, she did not put much thought into it or notice the restaurant manager as he walked by. She merely smiled and sneered. “Stop acting loaded if you aren’t rich. After all, it costs money to pretend.”

He Xiaoman could not help recalling how she magnanimously offered Song Ning and Huo Jinyan jobs at one of Lu Corporation subsidiaries. However, this foster daughter of hers greedily demanded an astronomical paycheck. In hindsight, she found it ironic.

Huo Yao nodded seriously. “Yes, you’re absolutely right.”

He Xiaoman frowned in confusion.

She studied Huo Yao and recalled how arrogant and rude she was whenever they crossed paths. Why did this girl suddenly sound so humble today?

Despite He Xiaoman’s doubts, she did not want to go on talking to her. Otherwise, her rich friends might tease her about it. She patted her arms as though she was trying to remove any dirt that Huo Yao may have passed on to her during the conversation.

“Remember your place. You are not to tell anyone that we are related, understand?” warned He Xiaoman softly.

She raised her chin and walked past Huo Yao without looking at her as she headed to the bathroom.

He Xiaoman looked incredibly cocky while walking away.
