Chapter 437: Chapter 424:

In the private room, although Xiao Jinli was cold towards Liang Qiming, he still persisted in approaching her, while Liang Shanshan rolled her eyes at the scene.

Liang Qiming, in the Capital City, belonged to a circle of wealthy young princes, and he was among the top ones.

But now, he was humiliating himself by trying to please another woman with such a low posture, and still could not win the girl’s heart.

Liang Shanshan felt a sense of pleasure at Liang Qiming’s frustration, but at the same time, she began to harbor intense jealousy towards Xiao Jinli.

With her good looks, Xiao Jinli manipulated men so easily, how despicable!

However, thinking that Xiao Jinli would be soon pinned down by a man she disliked excited Shanshan’s heart.

She was eager to see the desperation in Xiao Jinli’s eyes.

To ease the atmosphere, Liang Shanshan said, “Jin Li, all these dishes are signature dishes from this restaurant, including Buddha Jumps over the Wall, Abalone on Both Sides, Shark fin. Feel free to help yourself with whatever you like.”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinli coldly replied, “No matter how delicious this food is, it can’t compare to the food in Xiao Family Village.”

Liang Shanshan and her brother, “…” Admittedly, it was the truth.

They didn’t know what the food in Xiao Family Village was like.

However, the gourmet food in the Xiao Family Village Cafeteria was known nationwide.

It was said that most of the ingredients in the cafeteria were locally sourced, but there were also some imported ingredients, such as seafood.

Dishes like Buddha Jumps over the Wall, Abalone on Both Sides, Shark fin, and other specialty dishes were also served at the Xiao Family Village Cafeteria, but these were only made when a customer ordered them, so the prices were generally higher than outside.

The original food in the Xiao Family Village Cafeteria was priced for the common people, and even ordinary seafood was also priced fairly. However, dishes that involved complex processes and expensive ingredients were not only carefully selected from the highest grade materials and, therefore, more expensive but also came with transportation, labor, and other costs, hence the higher price. Moreover, these dishes were sold to either rich or noble guests, so the price would naturally be even higher.

For the Liang siblings, they thought people from the countryside couldn’t afford these things.

But they forgot that Xiao Family Village, while it was still called a village, was currently the wealthiest village in the country. Even if you didn’t look at Xiao Jinli’s family, other households in the village had assets worth several million or more. How could they not afford these things?

Perhaps wanting to make the Liang siblings feel even more embarrassed, Xiao Jinli pointed at the limited variety of dishes on the table, “Moreover, these green vegetables were bought from Xiao Family Village.”

Both siblings stared in disbelief.

Li Jiatong glanced at the awkward siblings, then at Xiao Jinli, who seemed to be pressuring them. She laughed and said, “Jinli, we’re all just having a meal together, there’s no need to compare it to the Xiao Family Village Cafeteria. Besides, there is no second cafeteria in the country like the one in Xiao Family Village. Saying that is just discouraging to others.”

Liang Qiming immediately agreed, “Yes, yes, Jiatong is right. What kind of delicious food isn’t there in the Xiao Family Village Cafeteria? It’s my fault, I apologize to you. Let’s just make do with this meal.”
