Chapter 4835: The Sadness of Ordinary People

Miss Fang knew that at this moment, it was impossible to negotiate with the host family again; otherwise, she would only become more disliked.

The girl smiled awkwardly, and said softly, "No, not wronged. In these extraordinary times, this is all we can do."

Steward Gu nodded quickly, feeling a slight relief in his heart.

If the young lady were to ask him to negotiate with the hosts for a room change again, it would probably genuinely anger the other party, causing them to directly throw his group off the ship.

"A person under another's roof must bow their head." Miss Fang sighed melancholically, her gaze subtly drifting towards Duo Shanmei.

"Miss, why don't you go eat some steamed buns?" Steward Gu hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly and eat something first. We'll have to trouble you and the young master for a few days, but once we reach Daxuan City and contact the branch manager, you and the young master won't have to suffer like this anymore."

Though he said this, Steward Gu himself knew that the matter might still be uncertain.

Their master had died along the way, and the entire Fang family suddenly lost its backbone.

For these two, the young master and young lady, who had no business acumen and understood nothing of social etiquette, to take over the branch in Daxuan City... that might be quite difficult.

Miss Fang wiped away the tears welling in her eyes, holding her brother's hand, and said, "Uncle Gu, why is my fate so bitter?"

Steward Gu couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this. "Miss, let's not talk about these things for now. Look... there aren't many steamed buns left on the table. Let's go quickly and grab a few!"

When they walked over, they found that the steamed buns on the table were already gone. In the small dish of vegetables, there were only one or two soybeans and two or three pieces of pickled vegetables left...

Steward Gu looked stunned.

Just moments ago, when they looked from afar, there was clearly some food left on the table.

How could it all be gone in just a few steps??

Miss Fang looked at the messy table, then thought of her past affluent life at home, and sighed even more sadly, "Never mind, Uncle Gu. We're going back to our room first."

A member of the Wangchuan Duo Clan at the table smiled awkwardly at Steward Gu, coughed, and then pulled out two steamed buns from his inner realm. "Steward Gu, take these to eat."

Miss Fang cast a resentful glance at the cultivators, bit her lip, and pulled her brother away.

As cultivators, if they didn't finish their food, they could store some themselves. She blamed herself for not being able to cultivate and not having an inner realm, making it impossible to store food like others.

Seeing Miss Fang leave with tears in her eyes, the few cultivators felt even more embarrassed and quickly stood up awkwardly, saying, "Uh, Miss, we just saw that no one else was eating. That's why we... put away the remaining food."

"Yes, yes, so it wouldn't go to waste. We didn't expect... Miss Fang and her brother hadn't eaten yet." The other person coughed in extreme embarrassment.

Miss Fang's sad, pitiful, and uncomfortable expression just now was truly heartbreaking.

Duo Shanmei couldn't help but feel speechless.

This Miss Fang, she wouldn't cry and leave just for a steamed bun, would she?

She instinctively glanced towards the little stoic again.

The stoic's face was very perceptive, and a gaze shot over instantly, meeting hers head-on.

Duo Shanmei's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes slightly flinched.

These past few days, she hadn't dared to wander in front of the young girl.

After all, there were still complex grievances between the Wangchuan Duo Clan and the young girl that couldn't be easily resolved.
