Chapter 41 Dissidents
"Brother Zi Yan, five o'clock seems a bit too early." Ji Xueqing said.
Just as Qi Ziyan said, during this week's live broadcast, the two families needed to help each other, so preparing breakfast with the Qi family was not a big problem.
But when she heard it was five o'clock, Ji Xueqing felt it was unreasonable.
It’s understandable that Qi’s family cooks early because they have a high school student. However, there are no early morning classes during the live broadcast week. Do they have to cook at five o’clock?
Holding Ji Chenxing's hand, Ji Xueqing mustered up the courage to refuse Qi Ziyan, "Actually, we can have breakfast at 8 o'clock. We really don't need to get up so early. It's also very hard for Aunt Xu to get up so early."
Qi Ziyan smiled and shook his head, then took a few steps towards Ji Xueqing.
"What's so hard about this? It was always this time before, she's used to it. She prepares the stuffing for the dumplings and wontons at 5 o'clock, and they're almost done at 6:30. We get up at 7 o'clock, just in time for a hot breakfast.
"And Xueqing, isn't it a woman's job to take good care of her children? This can't be considered hard work at all, it's just her duty."
Qi Ziyan was clearly standing in the light, but Ji Xueqing suddenly felt that half of his body was hidden in the shadows.
To be honest, although Ji Xueqing knew Qi Ziyan and had met him several times, she knew more about Qi Ziyan from the web drama he had watched.
In Ji Xueqing's heart, Qi Ziyan's image has always been as tall as the male lead in the online drama.
This family variety show was the first time that Ji Xueqing really got along with Qi Ziyan. Ji Xueqing felt that Qi Ziyan didn't seem to be the person she liked.
In his eyes, Xu Fang's efforts were worthless, just her duty. She felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously hid behind Ji Chenxing.
"Five o'clock is indeed a bit too early, and I have other plans at five o'clock." Ji Xueqing said, "How about this, I will go for a morning run with my sister tomorrow morning, and buy breakfast on the way back. This way, we can have a hot breakfast and Aunt Xu can sleep in. How do you think?"
What Ji Xueqing said was already a very good solution, but Qi Ziyan shook his head.
"This is just a small county town. It's hard to say whether the breakfast outside is clean or not. Lele is about to take the college entrance examination. How can we let her eat this?
"You're not a lazy bum who can't get up at five o'clock. Since you can get up and go for a morning run, why can't you get up and make breakfast together? Do you have to go for a morning run?"
Ji Xueqing didn't say anything, she was no longer able to speak.
There was nothing wrong with what Qi Ziyan said logically. Ji Xueqing didn't know how to refute it, but she really felt uncomfortable.
"Sister." Ji Xueqing wanted to cry.
Ji Chenxing looked at her sister who was hiding behind her. How could she not protect her? Transformation always takes a process. The fact that Ji Xueqing asked her for help showed that she had made progress and it was worth Ji Chenxing's help.
"Master Qi, Xueqing will help me make dinner today, so she won't be involved in making breakfast tomorrow."
Qi Ziyan frowned slightly, "Not participating anymore? She just agreed to make breakfast with our family, why is she going back on her word?"
Ji Chenxing smiled and said, "It's true that Xueqing has agreed, but as her elder sister, I haven't spoken yet.
"I just want to ask Master Qi one question. Would you be willing to let Qi Le come and help our family prepare dinner for today? Judging from your expression, you probably don't want to, right?
"Put yourself in her shoes. Xueqing is my sister, so it's only natural that I don't want her to suffer."
Qi Ziyan opened his mouth and blurted out, "How can Xueqing compare with Lele?" Perhaps afraid that Ji Xueqing would misunderstand, Qi Ziyan added: "Lele is about to take the college entrance examination. Now she is focusing on her studies and has no time to cook dinner with you. But Xueqing has started her freshman year now. She has plenty of time. What's wrong with making breakfast with us?"
Ji Xueqing held Ji Chenxing's hand even tighter, fearing that Ji Chenxing would abandon her.
Ji Chenxing comforted Ji Xueqing, "Then I also want to ask Master Qi, how do you compare with Xueqing? In terms of family background? In terms of talent? In which aspect can you compare with our Xueqing?"
"How can you have the nerve to ask Ji Xueqing to get up at five o'clock to make breakfast? Xueqing hasn't married yet. If she does, will she have to serve you like a young master?"
After hearing Ji Chenxing's words, Qi Ziyan also became anxious.
"Why do you treat me like a young master? Isn't it the duty of a woman to take care of a man? When Xueqing and I get married, I will go to film and Xueqing will stay at home to take care of the husband and children. Isn't that great? Let me ask you one question, who cooks in your family?"
Qi Ziyan was waiting for Ji Xueqing to say "Mom" to prove that he was right, but Ji Chenxing's face fell.
"Nanny." Ji Chenxing asked, "So Mr. Qi means that Xueqing will be a nanny after she marries him?"
Ji Chenxing sneered, "Our nanny gets paid every month, and it's still respectable. What about Xueqing? She is pampered in our family. Why did she marry you to be a nanny? Are you a good match? She has her own ideas and career. Wouldn't it be good for her to marry someone who can treat her like a princess?"
Qi Ziyan stopped talking, he was scared.
Ji Xueqing was protected too well by Ji Huaiyu. She was kind and weak, like a blank sheet of paper when facing love. Qi Ziyan seized on this point and pressed Ji Xueqing again and again.
Qi Ziyan’s plan was a good one. If he could control Ji Xueqing, he could marry into the Ji family. Then, wouldn’t all the property of the Ji family belong to him?
As for Ji Yunfan? That incompetent rubbish is nothing to be feared.
But he didn't take into account the variable Ji Chenxing.
When she came, she first took away Ji's shares, then saved Ji Yunfan's already rotten personality, and now she has given Ji Xueqing the courage to escape from his clutches. Ji Chenxing is really not simple.
With her around, it's impossible to conquer Ji Xueqing.
"Forget it, since it's not appropriate, let's eat separately. There happen to be two kitchens here." Qi Ziyan said.
The Ji family has a nanny who cooks for them. If Ji Chenxing hadn’t reminded him, Qi Ziyan would have forgotten about it.
The Qi family brought Xu Fang, but the Ji family did not bring a nanny to participate in the filming of the program. Without the help of the Qi family, how would the Ji family eat? Would they order food and have it delivered like in the first episode?
It's impossible. For seven days, the program team gave a total of 700 yuan for living expenses to two families. If divided, each family would spend 350 yuan.
With the way the Ji family was squandering money, three hundred and fifty wouldn't last more than seven days.
Qi Ziyan showed a smug smile, as if he had seen Ji Xueqing surrendering to him one day later by saying, "Brother Ziyan, please help us, we have no food to eat."
By then, will you still worry about not being able to control Ji Xueqing?
And Ji Chenxing... Qi Ziyan narrowed his eyes, it was time to find a way to eliminate this dissident.
I revised the outline yesterday, the next chapter will be a little later
