The waiter brought up the breakfast dishes ordered by Murong Ling'er. The aroma filled her nose, and she had to put her thoughts aside for the moment and prepare to enjoy breakfast.

Murong Chen was biting a hot meat bun in his mouth, looking like a greedy little cat. However, his eyes did not stay on the delicious food in front of him, but were curiously looking back and forth at the people at the next table.

All the people sitting at that table were people from the underworld. They had been silent since they sat down. Everyone lowered their heads and ate silently. Occasionally someone raised their head, but only glanced upstairs quickly. They seemed to be completely unconcerned about the various movements in the living room.

Murong Chen munched on the steamed bun in his hand while quietly looking at those people.

Murong Ling'er didn't care about it at all. She didn't even raise her head and concentrated on eating. Just when the mother and son were about to eat, Huo Shuixian walked in from outside the door.

Huo Shuixian's smart eyes quickly swept around and soon found Murong Ling'er hiding in the corner.

When she saw the several meat dishes on Murong Ling'er's table, her eyes suddenly lit up and the expression on her face instantly became complicated, showing both a desire for food and deep jealousy and resentment.

But she quickly concealed these emotions and approached him shamelessly without hesitation.

"Sister, you and Xiaochen are having breakfast! Can I sit here and eat with you?" Huo Shuixian's voice was somewhat flattering, but her eyes kept glancing at the food on the table. She muttered to herself, "Why does Murong Ling'er have so many delicious foods while I have to starve?"

Murong Ling'er frowned slightly when she heard Huo Shuixian's voice, and said unhappily, "Who is your sister? Can't you see we're almost done eating? You're coming over here at this time, are you here just to get some free food and drinks?"

Huo Shuixian pretended not to hear Murong Ling'er's refusal, still smiling: "Sister, don't be so stingy! I'm starving." As she spoke, she swallowed her saliva, staring at the dishes on the table, and continued: "Look at how rich the meal is, sister, please have pity on me!"

Murong Ling'er snorted coldly, staring at the person in front of her with a sharp gaze. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a hint of disdain: "Don't act so hypocritical and pitiful in front of me! With all the tricks in your head, do you think others can't see it? Everyone knows the little calculations in your mind? If you're hungry, go buy yourself some food. Don't even think about begging a single bite of food from me!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Shuixian's eyes flashed with an unconcealable resentment, but she reacted very quickly. In the blink of an eye, she put on a pitiful look again. Her eyes were red and tears were rolling in them. Her voice trembled and choked with sobs: "Sister, how can you treat me so cruelly? I just want to find some food to fill my stomach. I am so hungry now..."

However, Murong Ling'er remained unmoved by her performance, not even raising her eyelids. She ruthlessly exposed her, saying, "Alright, stop acting! I've seen through all your pretentious tricks. You clearly hate me to the core, yet you're feigning innocence. Aren't you tired of it? I find it disgusting to watch you!"

When Huo Shuixian heard this, her body trembled, and she bit her lips so tightly that they almost bled. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms. She cursed in her heart and made a vow: One day, I will make this arrogant Murong Ling'er suffer and see how powerful I am!

At this moment, Murong Chen couldn't bear it anymore, and he shouted: "Don't pretend to be pitiful here, we won't sympathize with you."

Huo Shuixian's face changed and she glared at Murong Chen fiercely, but she quickly returned to her calm demeanor and continued to beg Murong Ling'er.

Murong Ling'er was so disturbed by her that she lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks and said coldly, "Hurry up and leave. Don't get in the way here. Don't think I don't know what you're planning. You want to take advantage of me? No way!"

Huo Shuixian bit her lip tightly, her eyes brimming with rage. She was filled with indignation, "Why wouldn't I want to buy it? But I have no money, what can I use to buy it?"

I was hoping to get a free meal by being shameless, but these two heartless people actually cleared out all the plates. This is simply too much!"

The subtle movement here was completely unnoticed by anyone.

Huo Shuixian initially hoped that someone would speak up for her, but unfortunately, the people present were either people from the underworld or just passing merchants.

These people have been in the underworld for many years, and none of them has the leisure or kindness to care about such trivial matters.

How could Huo Shuixian give up so easily? Her eyes moved, and she raised her voice and said, "Everyone, I hope you can be fair! I just want to find a meal to eat, but my sister is so cruel and has no mercy! I haven't eaten for several days and I'm dizzy with hunger. I just hope that my sister can give me a bite of food, but she is so heartless that she won't even give me a bite. She is really cold and heartless!"

However, those people from the underworld continued to eat their meals, as if they did not hear her cries.

Seeing this, Huo Shuixian acted even harder, even shedding a few tears. "I have a tragic fate, all alone and helpless. I finally met my sister, only to be treated like this! Is there no one who can uphold justice for me and punish this cruel sister?"

At this moment, a burly, ferocious man finally shouted impatiently, "Stop crying here, you're annoying me! You can't even get food yourself, and you're blaming others for not giving it to you. Aren't you ashamed?"

Huo Shuixian was frightened by the roar and fell silent, but her resentment towards Murong Ling'er increased a little.

Although Huo Shuixian didn't dare to say anything, the frustration and anger in her heart burned more and more like a burning flame. She glared at Murong Ling'er and Murong Chen fiercely.

Murong Ling'er and Murong Chen didn't take this matter too seriously and continued to finish their breakfast!

At this time, Huo Jianjie, Deng Lihua and Huo Zihao were still in the room and had not come out. The guards dressed as officials, such as Qi Feng, turned a blind eye to Huo Shuixian's little problem.

For a moment, Huo Shuixian felt ashamed. The former rich lady was now so destitute that she couldn't even have a full meal. Thinking of this, the grievance in her heart surged like a tide. Unconsciously, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

Murong Ling'er didn't have the time to watch her changing her expression and acting pitiful. She pulled Murong Chen over and prepared to go upstairs, but after taking a few steps, she stopped.

She turned her head to look at Huo Shuixian, her eyes piercing a coldness as she said, "Huo Shuixian, you once enjoyed all the glory and wealth, but now you've fallen into this state. You should reflect on your own actions. Don't always rely on others' charity to make a living. The right way is to work hard on your own."

After saying that, Murong Ling'er pulled Murong Chen and continued to walk upstairs.

When she passed by Chu Lingfeng's room, she paused for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on the door, saying loudly, "Let's leave after breakfast. Don't dawdle any longer."

After saying that, without caring about the reactions of the people in the room, she pushed open the door of her own room next door and walked in without hesitation.
