127 127 Not as good as Tan Rou

Tan Jing hated the way the Tao family acted. She had never seen poor people look down on rich people. She was unhappy and her tone was a little tough. “You don’t have to be polite with me. I won’t be able to finish the money that they gave me. Buying you some toys is a piece of cake.”

Tao Qi didn’t feel envious after hearing Tan Jing’s words. His mother had taught him since he was young that he shouldn’t be too vain and should never go after things that he shouldn’t have.

Although he would definitely be envied by his classmates if he had a robot, Tao Qi knew that it wasn’t something he should take. So, he shook his head firmly. “Sister Jingjing, I really can’t take those. Also, if you bring me to eat good food next time, let’s not come to places like this. Let’s just go back to how we were before. It’s uncomfortable here, I don’t like it.”

Tan Jing frowned slightly. She didn’t expect that Tao Qi wouldn’t appreciate her spending by bringing him to this kind of Western restaurant.

He suddenly felt that Tao Qi was too young to know what was good for him, but he didn’t blame him either. He was used to being poor at home and wasn’t used to it. After tasting the benefits, he wouldn’t think that way anymore.

Tan Jing didn’t force him. Instead, she smiled. “You’ll know it once you try the food here. You’ll definitely like it here.”

Tao Qi didn’t want to argue with Tan Jing over this matter. Sister Jingjing only did this because she wanted to be nice to him. He smiled obediently and didn’t say anything.

After a while, the waiter came to serve Tan Jing and Tao Qi with plates on each hand. The dishes were exquisite and there was a small piece of meat with multiple side dishes.

Tao Qi looked at the steak in front of him but he wasn’t interested in it. This small bit of meat was so expensive, and it wasn’t even enough for him.

When Tan Jing saw that the dishes were served, she smiled slightly and raised her orchid fingers. Then, she began to slowly cut the steak like those socialites from what she remembered.

It couldn’t be helped. Although Tan Jing had eaten steak before, she always felt that something was missing.

Ever since she returned to the Tan family and came to such a high-end Western restaurant, Tan Jing only felt that the food she had eaten in the past were tasteless when she saw everyone tasting red wine and cutting steak while silently giggling as they enjoyed a good conversation.

Tan Jing called out to Tao Qi as she cut the meat. “Little Qi, eat quickly. Don’t just watch me.” She thought that Tao Qi couldn’t bear to eat it because the food was too exquisite. She secretly laughed in her heart. What a little country bumpkin!

Although Tao Qi wasn’t very interested, he couldn’t reject Tan Jing’s kind offer. He raised his small arm and began to cut with great effort.

Although the Tao family didn’t often bring their children to such high-end places to eat, they had eaten Western food many times. Tao Qi might be young, but he had good dining etiquette. He didn’t make a sound and cut the steak cleanly before eating.

On the other hand, Tan Jing deliberately learned to be delicate and pretentious but it felt like she was trying to imitate someone else. It looked awkward but she herself felt that this was the way to look good.

However, she wouldn’t have known that those who were truly rich didn’t care about these things. No matter how exquisite the food was, it was only for them to taste it. Enjoying the meal was the main point, instead of these superficial actions.

The real socialites had long integrated dining etiquette into their daily life, unlike Tan Jing, who pretended to be elegant after gaining power overnight.

Tan Jing ate in small mouthfuls and looked at Tao Qi with a smile. “How is it? It’s delicious, right? The chef here is a Michelin chef, he’s very famous.”

Tao Qi chewed the beef in big mouthfuls, but he didn’t feel anything different. He wanted to complain to his heart. Why did it feel like it wasn’t as good as the Cola Chicken Wings that Tan Rou made last night?

Realizing that he was thinking of Tan Rou again, Tao Qi was shocked. When did Tan Rou have such a big influence on him? He was in a Michelin Western restaurant now. He should be enjoying the food here. No matter whether it was good or not, at least it was expensive. He should be happy.

However, Tao Qi couldn’t lie to his heart. His mouth and stomach kept telling him that they missed Tan Rou’s Cola Chicken Wings and not this steak that merely looked amazing but tasted like nothing.

Tao Qi was a little down. This dinner wasn’t as delicious as he had imagined, and he wasn’t as happy with Sister Jingjing as he had imagined.
