Chapter 20: Unsure, Take Another Bite

Ji Xueqing and Ji Yunfan have lived under the same roof for a long time and are very good at observing people's words and expressions.

So, the moment she realized something was wrong, her first reaction was to move the Xiaolongbao to herself.

But she didn't expect that her hands were fast, but Ji Yunfan's hands were even faster than hers! Before Ji Xueqing touched the plastic bag, Ji Yunfan had already stood up and held the food box firmly with his right hand.

Seeing this, Ji Xueqing’s first reaction was: Something is not good!
Ji Xueqing was very worried that something unexpected might happen, so she quickly started to persuade them.

"Yunfan, my sister just came back, so it's normal that she doesn't know your preferences. Don't be angry with her because of this."

Ji Yunfan didn't say anything. He pressed the packing box hard with his hands, staring at Ji Chenxing like a wolf ready to pounce.

Ji Chenxing:?

She just bought a basket of dumplings, why did it seem like she had made a huge mistake?
Besides, she bought more than just soup dumplings for breakfast. If she doesn’t like it, she can just change to another one. Why do you have to bully her like this?
Ji Chenxing met Ji Yunfan's gaze, and there was not a trace of inferiority or fear in her eyes.

The atmosphere at the table became increasingly depressing.

[Can someone explain what's going on? What's wrong with this filling? ]

[Ji Yunfan used to sing in a band. Before the performance, a band member gave Ji Yunfan a basket of carrot-filled dumplings to fill his stomach. Ji Yunfan then beat the man up and quit the band.]

[To be honest, if Ji Yunfan hadn’t been crazy and pinned someone to the ground and hammered him, I would have been his fan for a long time]

[So why did Ji Yunfan send someone to the hospital that time? It can't be just because of a basket of dumplings, right? ]

[Let’s not worry about that time for now. I want to know if Ji Yunfan is like this today and is he going to fight again? ]

[Very similar, not to mention that he and Ji Chenxing don’t get along well in the first place]

In the general's mansion, Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan had just finished breakfast. They had planned to go out to buy some things today, but the weather was bad and it started to rain, trapping them in the mansion.

When they had nothing to do, they sat together and watched Ji Chenxing’s live broadcast.

"Mother, I think Ji Yunfan is the most difficult person in their entire family. If Ji Chenxing messes with him, he will hit a wall."

Ji Xueyao pointed at the screen, unable to hide the smile on her face.

The most difficult person regards Ji Chenxing as an enemy, which is like a great blessing for Ji Xueyao.

No matter where Ji Chenxing is, as long as Ji Xueyao is unhappy, her jealousy will not arise.

Shen Ruyan put her arm around Ji Xueyao's shoulders and said, "This Ji Yunfan is really a person of true nature, just like your brother Minghan. If he likes someone, he likes them. If he doesn't like someone, he doesn't like them. He never hides his feelings."

Speaking of Ji Minghan, the mother and daughter both recalled the incident not long ago when Ji Minghan embarrassed Ji Chenxing at the dinner table.

That scene was exactly the same as it is now.

The final result, of course, was a fight between the two men, and then Ji Chenxing was severely reprimanded by Ji Zunxing for attacking his legitimate son, and was punished to copy "The Rules for Women" a hundred times.

And now, Ji Chenxing started quarreling with his eldest son Ji Yunfan again.

By the same token, if Ji Chenxing and Ji Yunfan fought, Ji Chenxing would definitely be criticized by Ji Huaiyu.

Ji Xueyao rested her head on Shen Ruyan's shoulder, "She really has a short memory."

The two of them smiled at each other, waiting to see Ji Chenxing make a fool of himself.

Ji family, Ji Xueqing still wanted to persuade them.

She had lived in the Ji family for eighteen years and knew very well that Ji Yunfan was a vengeful person. No matter who it was, if they provoked him, they would suffer the consequences.

Moreover, Ji Xueqing always felt that she owed Ji Chenxing. She didn't want to watch Ji Chenxing suffer, and she didn't want to see the siblings turn against each other.

"Yunfan, how about you switch with me? I'll eat this steamed dumpling..."

Before Ji Xueqing could finish her words, she shrank back at Ji Yunfan's glare.

"No need." Ji Yunfan said unhappily, "Don't you like to eat that? Why don't you exchange it with me? Just keep it for yourself."

He stretched out his arm, passed the steamed dumplings that Ji Xueqing pushed over, took a box of rice porridge, and sat back in his seat.

Wen Ya and Ji Huaiyu, who had been silent the whole time, looked at Ji Yunfan with bated breath. In the last second, the two of them were still discussing whether to lay one or two layers of carpet today, but in the next second, Ji Yunfan simply stopped and had no intention of taking action at all.

Under the gaze of the whole family, Ji Yunfan opened the disposable take-out box, took out a steamed bun from it, looked at it for a few times, and then took a bite.

The filling inside is a beautiful orange-yellow color, which is carrot.

"Is it delicious?" Ji Chenxing asked.

As long as Ji Yunfan doesn't take the initiative to attack her, she won't be angry with Ji Yunfan.

Ji Yunfan's handsome eyebrows were still slightly wrinkled. He swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Ji Chenxing.

"It's a bit strange." Ji Yunfan said, "Not sure, try it again."

Her tone was cute. How could she be angry at Ji Chenxing at all?

Moreover, after he said that, he actually took another bite.

Ji Chenxing stood aside, feeling a little angry and a little amused.

Ji Chenxing was very calm, but in this family, everyone except Ji Chenxing and Ji Yunfan was not calm.

When has Ji Yunfan ever been so "docile"?

Wen Ya opened her rosy lips slightly, with a look of surprise on her face: "Husband, did I see it wrong? Was he eating carrots?"

Ji Huaiyu didn't understand what was going on either, and he and Wen Ya looked at each other in bewilderment, "I don't know, how about you pinch me?"

Ji Xueqing seemed to understand something but not completely, and asked, "Ah? Did you eat that bun?"

Only the driver, Uncle Xu, who was hiding in the corner, shed tears silently, "Master, he hasn't eaten carrots for ten years..."

The haters who had been waiting in the comment section were also stunned.

Why doesn’t Ji Yunfan get up and beat people up?

He's a black belt in Taekwondo, so be tough! If we fight hard, one of them will end up in the hospital, right?
Does Ji Yunfan also have a “good brother” side?
What ability does Ji Chenxing have that can make the always unruly little devil of the Ji family so obedient?
At the General's Mansion, Shen Ruyan and Ji Xueyao, who were watching the live broadcast, were also stunned.

They were just praising Ji Yunfan for his courage to think and act, but not long after, they were slapped in the face by Ji Yunfan.

"Ji Chenxing is really capable. He can give people a bowl of magic potion wherever he goes." Shen Ruyan said gritting her teeth.

"Yes." Ji Xueyao stared at the screen, feeling emotional. "When she was alive, I don't know what method she used to make those untouchables in the slums grateful to her. I didn't expect that she would not be honest even after her death."

However, Ji Xueyao felt more at ease when she thought of the comment function that would soon be opened.

By that time, she would be able to wake up this family and prevent them from being fooled by Ji Chenxing.

"Mother, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Ji Xueyao bowed and left. She planned to go back and study how to quickly upgrade the system and enable the comment function.

However, before she finished her goodbye ceremony, noisy voices were suddenly heard in the courtyard.

The butler brought a man who looked like a eunuch to Shen Ruyan, his expression as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

"Madam, the master has angered the emperor. He is currently in the imperial study. The emperor has sent eunuch Gao to the mansion to get something. Please see..."

Shen Ruyan's heart tightened. She had been married to the general's mansion for nearly twenty years and knew Ji Zunxing very well. He was a loyal and straightforward man and had always been valued by the emperor. How could he suddenly anger the emperor?
"You said the master is still in the imperial study?" Shen Ruyan asked in disbelief.

The eunuch following behind the housekeeper glanced at everyone in the general's mansion and said arrogantly, "That's right! We came here this time on the order of the emperor to get something for the general."

Ji Xueyao looked at Ji Chenxing's screen not far away and suddenly felt dazed.

"Excuse me, sir, what is the thing that father wants to take? Can you tell me where it is? Then we can help you find it."

The old eunuch squinted his eyes and looked at Ji Xueyao, and answered slowly:
“What General Ji wants is in his study.

"As for what it is, it should be a manuscript written by Miss Ji before her death."
