It was soon time to eat. Everyone just looked at He Ning in silence. They had absolutely no desire to eat with He Ning, but it was not as if they could ask the helper to pack food for He Ning to go. If the people outside witnessed that and word got out, they would say that the Xia family had no manners.
He Ning did not seem to notice anything amiss and happily joined them at the dining table. Xu Lan and Liu Fen could not find any reason to chase He Ning away, so they could only quietly endure his presence.
Fortunately, He Ning had some self awareness. He sat at one end of the table alone while all the Xia family members sat at the other end. The helper portioned all the dishes into separate plates and placed them in front of He Ning.
