Who doesn't love hearing their child praised for being outstanding and promising?
After hearing Gu Hai's words, even if they were partly true and partly false, Xu Qinghe was delighted. He humbly said, "Your child is just as excellent."
The hustle and bustle of the restaurant didn't let up until half past seven in the evening, by which time Xu Nian'an's stomach was so hungry it could sing.
"We've already ordered some dishes next door, and we'll be able to eat shortly," Gu Hai offered proactively.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu."
Xu Nian'an said gratefully. After a satisfying meal, the two families separated to their respective hotels. It was then that Xu Qinghe explained, "I was just about to go there and order, but the Gu family was very quick to pay, hardly giving me a chance."
Xu Qinghe, patting his bulging wallet, wasn't short on money for the meal, but since Gu Hai had already paid, he wasn't able to outbid him.
