Chapter 623: Eating Alone
He Xiyan came to the restaurant where she usually eats. As housekeeper Lu said, the chefs had already prepared dinner, and they also made more than a dozen dishes, each of which was her favorite dish on weekdays.
"Madam, please eat." A chef named Liu took the initiative to serve He Xiyan a bowl of rice. These dishes were mainly Hunan cuisine, and a lot of chili and spices were also added. The whole restaurant was filled with a strong aroma of vegetables.
He Xiyan looked at the dozen dishes on the table. It was ridiculous to think about more than a dozen dishes for her alone.
How could she finish them. And she didn't understand why Ye Hao ordered the chef to cook so many dishes for her alone, knowing that she couldn't eat them all.
And what's the point of eating alone, even if it's a full banquet.
Thinking of this, He Xiyan smiled bitterly. She didn't take chopsticks to pick up any bowl of dishes, but just scooped a little white rice into her mouth, and then drank a little juice and swallowed it.
She didn't taste any of the dozen dishes, but just ate the bowl of white rice in front of her, and put down her chopsticks after eating.
The two chefs, Master Liu and Master Wang, shrugged helplessly and said, "Madam, is this dish not to your taste? It doesn't matter. Tell us what you want to eat and we'll make it now."
Master Liu looked innocent. Mr. Ye had ordered them to make what Madam likes to eat. If Madam doesn't eat tonight, they will deduct their wages.
So they worked so hard for so long to make more than a dozen dishes that Madam likes the most.
He Xiyan stood up, knowing that they must have been told by Ye Hao to say so. She smiled at the two chefs kindly.
They were all working people, and she didn't want to embarrass them. She walked to a nearby place and took a piece of cake and a bowl of lean meat porridge.
Then she said to the two chefs, "You go and eat. I'll have enough to eat these. I have a bad stomach and can't eat these big fish, meat, and delicacies from the mountains and the sea." After that, He Xiyan sat down again and ate the porridge she had served and the cakes she had brought.
After eating, she returned to the bedroom and began to tidy up the room that she would not live in again. She cleaned the room neatly and spotlessly.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor and some conversations came from the corridor.
He Xiyan could tell that one voice was that of housekeeper Lu, and the other voice was unfamiliar, probably from a lawyer.
Soon these voices came clearly into her ears.
"Mr. Yang, please wait at the door for a while. I'll call my wife out." Housekeeper Lu said very politely, and then knocked on the bedroom door.
The door was not closed, so He Xiyan could directly see the housekeeper standing at the door, who was familiar but also very unfamiliar to her. What was familiar was his face, but what was unfamiliar was the smile that always hung on his mouth.
"Madam, Lawyer Yang is here. Can you go to the reception room on the third floor? I have set up tea and snacks in the reception room."
He Xiyan listened to the housekeeper's report, she sighed for a long time, and her heart felt as if it was squeezed tightly and she felt very uncomfortable.
She put down the water cup she was holding and found a coat to put on.
When she came to the reception room, she saw the lawyer named Yang in front of her. He was a male lawyer, probably in his forties. He looked smart and experienced, and probably very experienced.
She was like a junior in front of him.
