Chapter 48: Poor ghost, this is not a place for you

The decoration of the Palace Hotel was extremely luxurious, indicating that it was a place for the affluent.

Children from poor families like Tang Sufei had never been to such a high-end place to eat.

Standing at the hotel entrance, Tang Sufei looked at the well-dressed security guards and then at her and Liu Hui's cheap clothes.

She couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated.

She tugged at Liu Hui's sleeve and said, "Hui gege, let's find a cheaper place to eat. This place must be very expensive."

Liu Hui smiled faintly. This girl was still thinking about saving money for him! He was about to tell her that he had a super VIP card, which meant that all expenses at the Palace Hotel were on the house.

Just then, a voice came from behind him, "Oh, Liu Hui, what are you doing here? A meal here costs tens of thousands. It's not a place for poor ghosts like you."

Liu Hui's heart trembled. The voice sounded familiar—it was Han Yukun, the son of the mayor.

Liu Hui turned around and sure enough, Han Yukun was walking towards them with a curvaceous beauty by his side.

Hearing Han Yukun's words, Tang Sufei was shocked and pale.

She had already overestimated the cost, thinking that a meal here would cost thousands, but it turned out to be much more.

Tang Sufei held Liu Hui's hand and looked at him tenderly.

"Hui gege, let's find another place! As long as I have you to eat with me, I don't care if it's a high-end place or not."

Han Yukun walked up to Liu Hui, glanced at Tang Sufei holding Liu Hui's hand, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

Compared to Song Qianxue, both Tang Sufei and she had their own unique beauty and were rare beauties.

But they were much more beautiful than the girls around him.

Han Yukun looked at Liu Hui with jealousy and sneered, "Liu Hui, you're quite generous with girls. I wonder how long you have to work as a waiter in a bar to afford a meal with a beauty here!"

The curvaceous woman, wanting to please Han Yukun, disdainfully pursed her lips and said, "Han Shao, this person is obviously a poor student. How can he compare to you? He's always hanging out in high-end places."

Unconcerned about Han Yukun's ridicule, Liu Hui calmly said, "Since the Palace Hotel is a place to eat, naturally I can come. Whether I can afford it or not is my own business. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry about me."

Han Yukun was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, the curvaceous woman said, "Han Shao, you don't need to be bothered by him. He's just a country bumpkin trying to show off in front of beautiful women. He doesn't even realize where he is and that he can afford to come here. Let's go in first!"

Satisfied, Han Yukun glanced at the woman, laughed loudly, and said, "Liu Hui, we're going in. If you don't want to spend money, I can pack up the leftovers for you so that you can taste the high-end dishes of the Palace Hotel."

After his laughter, Han Yukun ignored Liu Hui's reaction and walked briskly into the Palace Hotel with the woman by his side.

Tang Sufei looked at Liu Hui with a pleading expression.

"Hui gege, let's go. I really don't like eating Western food."

Liu Hui understood that Tang Sufei was considering him and giving him a way out.

She had never eaten Western food before, so how could she not like it? Liu Hui was touched and gently patted Tang Sufei's head.

"Silly girl, the Western food here is different. It's prepared by Michelin-star chefs, and the taste is really good. Don't pay attention to what they say. I, your Hui gege, will treat you here, and it won't cost a penny."

Tang Sufei thought Liu Hui was comforting her, believing that even eating at a roadside stall would cost money, so there was no way they could eat at such a high-end place like the Palace Hotel without spending any.

However, since Liu Hui had already said so, Tang Sufei didn't object, considering Liu Hui's face.

Seeing Liu Hui and Tang Sufei's ordinary attire, the security guards showed no disrespect and respectfully greeted Ye Haoxuan before gesturing them to enter.

Although they didn't think Liu Hui and Tang Sufei could afford to dine at the Palace Hotel, it wasn't their concern as security guards.

Their attitude remained impeccable and respectful.

Liu Hui couldn't help but admire how well the hotel was managed by Charles. Even the attitude of their security guards was flawless, leaving no room for criticism.

Upon entering the lobby, an enthusiastic waiter approached with a smile and asked, "Hello, do you have a reservation?"

Imitating Zhao Shijing's manner from last time, Liu Hui took out the super VIP card from the Palace Hotel and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter was surprised to see the super VIP card.

Those who possessed it were the most esteemed guests of the Palace Hotel, even treated with respect by their own boss.

Maintaining professional composure despite the surprise, the waiter bowed slightly to Liu Hui.

"Respected guest, hello. Would you like a private room?"

Liu Hui looked around and noticed that there were still plenty of seats in the lobby, and since it was just the two of them, there was no need for a private room.

Thus, Liu Hui calmly replied, "It's just the two of us, no need for a private room. Please arrange a seat near the window for us."

The greeter nodded and led Liu Hui and Tang Sufei to a prime spot near the window.

Coincidentally, Han Shao and his female companion were seated not far away, with their positions relatively close.

Han Shao was surprised to see Liu Hui and the others, but since the Palace Hotel prohibited noise and disturbance, he didn't come over to taunt them.

He focused on joking around with the beauty beside him and only occasionally glanced at Liu Hui's group.

Opening the menu, they found a wide variety of dishes, both Chinese and Western, with high prices. However, those who could afford to dine here didn't pay too much attention to the prices.

Liu Hui handed the menu to Tang Sufei and asked her to see if there was anything special she wanted to eat.

Tang Sufei's hands trembled as she looked at the prices on the menu, realizing that a single dish would cost more than her monthly part-time job wages.

"Hui gege, this is too expensive. Shall we go somewhere else?" Tang Sufei couldn't hold back the words, even though she had intended to preserve Liu Hui's face.

But seeing the prices on the menu, her heart ached, and she couldn't help but speak up.

Liu Hui laughed heartily at Tang Sufei's pained expression.

"Sufei, just relax and order whatever you want. Haven't I already told you? I don't pay for my meals here; they're free. Since we're here, why don't you enjoy a free dinner?"

Hearing Liu Hui's words, Han Yukun, who was not far away, had a gleam in his eyes and a mischievous look on his face, as if he was plotting something.
