Chapter 8 Breakfast

  The car drove for about thirty minutes and arrived at "Fudu".

  "Florentia Village" is a large commercial square in the golden area of the city center, integrating shopping, dining and entertainment. Many world-renowned brands have set up their specialty stores here.

  This is not the most bustling place in the city, but it is a synonym for high-end consumption and high-quality life. Ninety percent of people who come here to consume are either rich or celebrities. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is where the wealthy go in and out.

  Tian Nuoyu had accompanied a colleague who was still on good terms with her to this place once before. At that time, she just took a casual look around, but the prices on every price tag she glanced at made her feel like her heart was racing and her flesh was creeping.

  Tian Nuanyu parked the car in the underground garage, and she and Mu Yuxin took the elevator to the seventh floor, where there was a coffee shop called "Monange". The two found a window seat and had just sat down when the waitress came over with menus.

  Mu Yu Xin didn't look at the menu, and directly ordered a cup of mocha coffee and a slice of tiramisu cake. She didn't ask Tian Nuan Yu, but he helped her order the same thing anyway.

  The waitress soon brought the coffee and cake to the table, placing them in front of the two women. Mu Yu Xin didn't say anything else, took out her phone from her bag, and started playing with it while sipping her coffee.

  Tian Nuoyu picked up the coffee cup and took a light sip, her eyes scanning the coffee shop in a circle. There weren't many people, plus the two of them, there were only seven people in total.

  It's not surprising at all, half past seven on Sunday morning, it would be strange if there were a lot of people here.

  Those who can sit here and drink coffee at this time are either idle with a lot of time to kill or have been up all night and come here to refresh themselves.

  The coffee shop was very quiet, with almost no conversation to be heard, only a warm and mellow female voice singing a soothing English song that came from the speakers, the sound filling every corner of the coffee shop, as well as Tian Nuan Yu's heart, her mood gradually calming down.

  Looking out through the glass window, apart from the coffee shop and breakfast shop, the doors of all other shops were closed. Tian Nuanyu knew that Mu Yuxin was here to kill time until the shops opened at 9 o'clock.

  Holding a cup of coffee, Tian Nuanyu stared out the window and fell into a daze.

  There was a time when she compressed her three meals a day into one and a half to save money by working overtime. From 7 am, she worked until around 11 pm with very little rest in between. She set her own eating standards: lunch must be full, dinner half full, and breakfast was omitted.

  Being able to eat warm and delicious food to fill her stomach already made her feel very happy, sitting down to leisurely enjoy a meal was simply a luxury.

  She works as a waitress in the restaurant, weaving through the noisy and yet serene crowd of customers, with the aroma of delicious food constantly teasing her nostrils. She endures her hunger, resisting the temptation of the cuisine, while still managing to flash a smile as she delivers the dishes to others' tables. Standing there, watching people leisurely enjoying their meals, a wave of helpless sorrow surges up in her heart.

  Nowadays, everyone in society is shouting for equality, but the reality is that the louder this shout, the more unequal it becomes. Inequality has already emerged between sitting and standing.

  Sitting in this expensive cafe, undisturbed, eating breakfast and killing time, was a luxurious treat for her, but she didn't feel any joy.

  She didn't come here today with a carefree and relaxed mood to kill time, she just came as an accompanying guest.

  She and Mu Yu Xin sat face to face, although they were on the same level, there was already a distinction between high and low, not because she had a psychological superiority complex, but because it was a fact in front of her eyes. Some things didn't need to be thought about, let alone said, the primary and secondary had long been clear-cut.

  Mu Yu Xing's words just now actually had a slight disdain for her, and in the week they spent together, Mu Yu Xing's disdain and disapproval of her were not hidden at all. In Mu Yu Xing's eyes, she was actually just a follower, to put it bluntly, Mu Yu Xing treated her as a servant.

  Muyuxin had expected such an attitude, but it wouldn't disturb her and she wouldn't get annoyed because of this. She always understood a truth: if you don't belittle yourself, nobody else can.

  She does what she thinks is right and should be done, and goes about doing it well, that's enough.

  After all these years and several twists and turns, she thought her heart was strong enough to withstand anything.
