Chapter 12: School? Never been there
On the chessboard, most of the space is already occupied by chess pieces.
Ji Chenxing held a black piece in his hand and placed it on the chessboard with a calm expression.
If you look closely, you will find that most of the area on the board is occupied by black pieces.
In the sight of everyone in the live broadcast room, Ji Chenxing placed another black piece, but this time, she did not take a new chess piece, but just looked at Ji Huaiyu with a smile in her eyes.
Ji Huaiyu frowned, raised the white chess piece in his hand and put it down again. After a moment of deep thought, he threw the chess piece back into the chess basket and smiled, "I lost."
[Brothers, I don't understand. Didn't the white pieces connect to five pieces a long time ago? Why are they still playing? Why did Mr. Ji say he lost? ]
[Is there a possibility that they are not playing Gobang? ]
[No way, Mr. Ji was also a legend when he was young, how could he lose to Ji Chenxing who came from the countryside? Did he let him win? ]
[It seems to be true. I followed the live broadcast of the chess game throughout the whole process. Mr. Ji did not let her win. Sister Xing is also very capable. She took every step carefully and expanded her territory.]
[I don't believe it unless I hear Mr. Ji's explanation in person]
[Is there anyone who can dig up Ji Chenxing's true identity? Is she really from the countryside? Any gossip?]
In the live broadcast room, Ji Chenxing had no embarrassment and openly acknowledged the result of the chess game.
Ji Chenxing took back the chess piece and said, "Thank you for letting me in. Father still underestimated me."
"Yes, I underestimated you. I didn't expect that such a big move of yours was just a cover."
Ji Huaiyu poured two cups of tea, one for Ji Chenxing, "Hahaha, you have guts! I accept defeat with all my heart."
"Thank you for the compliment, Dad."
Ji Chenxing took a sip of the tea. After being in a stalemate for such a long time, she was indeed a little thirsty.
Ji Huaiyu put down his tea and asked, "Did your adoptive father teach you how to play chess? Do you play chess often?"
When mentioning his adoptive father, the image of a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly emerged in Ji Chenxing's mind.
This man had dark skin and a ferocious face, and he either beat or scolded the original owner every day.
This is the original owner’s adoptive father.
When he thought of his appearance, Ji Chenxing felt a chill.
"What's wrong?" Ji Huaiyu keenly noticed that Ji Chenxing's expression was wrong.
Ji Chenxing shook his head, "Let's not talk about those people."
Perhaps it was because he suddenly thought of the original owner's memory, Ji Chenxing suddenly felt a little tired after he finished speaking.
She finished the last sip of tea and said, "Dad, if everything is fine, I'll go back and rest first."
"Okay, okay, go ahead. Don't get tired." Ji Huaiyu stood up and sent Ji Chenxing out of the study. "Remember to tell me if there's anything missing in the room."
After Ji Chenxing left, Ji Huaiyu's expression gradually darkened.
He dialed the phone, "How did Chen Xing's former adoptive parents treat her? Check everything that happened to her over the years for me.
"Oh, and Aunt Sun, find someone to ask her why she didn't come today. Is there someone doing something secretly during the live broadcast?"
The lunch break ended at two o'clock. After that, Ji Chenxing went to the study to read, and Ji Huaiyu was also working in the study.
When she first came to the study in the morning, Ji Chenxing saw that there were as many books as the stars in the vast sky, but when she really flipped through these books, she once again realized how insignificant she was. She had never seen or heard of the words in many of the books.
She had no choice but to take these books to ask Ji Huaiyu, "Father, what is this text?"
Ji Huaiyu was a little surprised, because the book in Ji Chenxing's hand was an original English book. But looking at Ji Chenxing's appearance, it seemed that she had never even seen English, let alone knowing it.
“This is English.”
Facing the camera, Ji Huaiyu answered truthfully and asked another question, "Chen Xing, have you ever been to school?"
"Go to school? Is it the school?"
When this word was mentioned, the light in Ji Chenxing's eyes, which were full of pride, dimmed. "I haven't been there."
She only learned etiquette from the nanny. As for the school, Ji Zunxing always said that she didn't need to go. She couldn't learn what a girl should learn there, and what she could learn there was not what a girl should learn.
Ji Huaiyu's face darkened. "This is outrageous!"
In the morning, he felt that Ji Chenxing's adoptive parents didn't seem to be very nice to Ji Chenxing. Combined with what happened in the afternoon, the real situation seemed to be worse than he imagined.
He didn't feel ashamed, but rather felt pity. Such a good daughter, but the person who raised her never let her go to school!
Otherwise, Ji Chenxing would be such an outstanding child!
"It's okay, it's okay, Chen Xing, if you want to learn anything, Dad will teach you."
Ji Huaiyu pulled out several original foreign books in different languages from the bookshelf and introduced the words in them to her. "You can read any of the books here. I will immediately find the best teachers and have them take you through all the knowledge from elementary school to high school.
"If you want to study systematically, you can also borrow Xueqing or Yunfan's textbooks first."
After hearing Ji Huaiyu's words, Ji Chenxing suddenly realized that in this era, boys and girls learned the same things.
Gender is no longer used as a criterion for dividing people's talents and abilities. Although men and women are different, they are born equal.
That was exactly what was missing from the era that killed her.
Even someone as proud as Ji Chenxing couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and tears in his eyes.
Apart from Ji Huaiyu and Ji Chenxing, other people in the Ji family also have their own things to do.
Wen Ya made herself a cup of tea. Ji Yunfan was studying something in his room. Ji Xueqing was standing on the balcony, playing the violin alone.
Melodious and soothing music echoed in the Ji family's huge villa.
In the afternoon, the "Our Family" program crew sent task cards to both families.
When the two families opened the task cards, the camera also broadcast the contents written on the task cards to the live broadcast room.
Task Cards:
Please select one or several family members and give them the gift you most want.
Preparation time: one day
Gift giving session starts at 4pm tomorrow
[Simple gift-giving session]
[I don’t know if the guests are looking forward to it, but I am already looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of gifts the wealthy families will give to each other? Will it be something I have never seen before?]
[I want to know what gifts Brother Ziyan will give to his family. He is such a warm person, so the gifts he gives will also be warm. I love it so much]
[I think what Ji Chenxing's gift is the most anticipated? She just came from the countryside, doesn't know much about luxury goods, and doesn't have that much money. What will she give? ]
[What the above person said is right. It is not decent not to give luxury goods as gifts. But if you buy luxury goods, if you are cheated or buy pirated goods, that is another intriguing story.]
[At first I thought I didn’t need to worry about Ji Chenxing, but now I think that a person who has not received nine years of compulsory education is not presentable enough]
