The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2627

Golden Arch Cafe was an authentic local dining brand in Aurous Hill. They had several branches in Aurous Hill, and they specialized in serving authentic local cuisines that were deeply loved by the locals. 4

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Golden Arch Cafe, Yolden gave a brief introduction to Charlie. "My ancestors were all natives of Aurous Hill for three generations. I have been living in Aurous Hill ever since I was born until my adolescence. After that, I went abroad to the United States to further my studies. After that, I settled down in the United States for a very long time. I recently returned to the country after spending decades abroad, and I suddenly felt that the food in my hometown is actually really tempting. I cannot seem to get tired of eating it at all. Although the cafeteria in the university would provide a variety of free food for the lecturers, I would always come here at noon every day so that I can have a bite o f the most authentic Aurous Hill cuisine.” 2

After he was done speaking, Yolden asked Charlie," But since you have been living in Aurous Hill for so many years, are you sick and tired of eating our local cuisine?"

Charlie smiled slightly before he said, "To be honest, I have never had much pursuit or requirements for

food. I grew up eating noodles and congee during the ten years that I spent in the orphanage, and I do not feel as though there was anything wrong with it at all. After that, I began working at a construction site, and I felt as though it was not that bad for me to drink water and eat steamed buns every day."

Yolden could not help but sigh as he said, "Very few people in this world would be able to compare to the days and the life that you've lived before the age of eight. You lost everything that you had, and you fell to the bottom of society at the age of eight. How did you manage to adapt to this kind of life?"

Charlie smiled as he said, "When I was very young, my parents taught me not to be pleased by external gains, or saddened by personal losses. So, to me, there was really nothing that I had to try and adapt to. In my opinion, it did not make any difference to me at all regardless of whether I was living a comfortable and luxurious life, or whether I would have to live in poverty and experience the hardships of life."

Yolden said emotionally, "You are exactly the same as your mother in this aspect. When we were all undergraduate students, your mother did not only win a full scholarship based on her own abilities, but she also worked part-time at the restaurant outside the university every day during her free time. Moreover, she was always very frugal, and she would never be wasteful or spend extravagantly.” 3

"I can remember that your mother would use the money that she had saved up during the semester to g o traveling at the end of every semester. Furthermore, she would go traveling as a backpacker. At that time, all of us thought that your mother must have come from a very poor family. After that, we found out that your mother's family was actually the strongest and most influential Oskian family in the world...” 4

Charlie smiled as he said, "In my memory, my mother i s indeed a very frugal person. She has always taught m e that I should always be saving money instead of wasting it. She also said that I should not even leave a grain of rice in the bowl when I eat. She is very similar to my father in this aspect. In fact, the both of them actually had no pursuit of material things at all."

Yolden agreed as he said, "That is the reason why your mother and father ended up together. When the both o f them were in their prime, young age, they had already had no lowly pursuit of any material items at all. They are not the same as the rest of us who would always be thinking of how we could earn money and gain more fame and reputation for ourselves."

With that being said, Yolden had already stepped into the restaurant first. Then, he made a welcoming gesture at Charlie.

Charlie hurriedly followed Yolden into the restaurant. The lobby on the first floor of the restaurant was already packed with people at this time.
