Chapter 112: Live Leak, Persona Collapse
Chapter 112
[Hahaha, they look so pitiful!]
[Who would have thought that Hengjing\'s CEO would have a day of being unwanted...]
[That\'s too much! You\'re all having fun in there, isolating my Orange!]
[Excuse me, but it was your Orange who said she wasn\'t feeling well and needed to rest.]
[The atmosphere is so much better without that one person!]
It was Jing Yi\'s first time cooking with so many people, and already there was a table full of diverse dishes in front of her.
Meanwhile, Li Yujia went to call Li Shaocheng.
However, when Li Shaocheng heard that everyone else was cooking and only she was absent, her expression soured.
Mindful of the cameras, Li Shaocheng forced a smile and said, "Sister, why didn\'t you call me to join? It\'s not good for me to be the only one resting."
Jing Yi, who was preparing the last set of dishes and utensils, heard Li Shaocheng\'s words and looked over curiously, "Didn\'t you say you weren\'t feeling well?" Li Shaocheng\'s face darkened even more.
Jing Zeqian pressed his lips together, suppressing a smile.
Chen Yu\'s wife, seeing the atmosphere become tense, quickly invited Li Shaocheng and the others to sit down and eat, "It\'s alright, your sister was in charge of cooking and has already prepared your portion."
Hearing her words, Li Shaocheng\'s expression became even more unpleasant.
[I\'m really about to die laughing, is Jing Yi some kind of green tea buster?]
[Hahaha, Sister Lin originally wanted to ease the situation, but the more she spoke, the worse Li Shaocheng\'s face got!]
[How many natural-born roasters are there in this house? Hahaha]
[Why can\'t they mention the sister being in charge of cooking?]
[Don\'t you know? Li Shaocheng has been emphasizing that her sister can\'t cook.]
[I even suspect that the previous desserts were also made by her sister.]
On the dining table, in the center was the seafood platter made by Wen Yin and the radish beef brisket and braised fish made by Li Yujia, surrounded by dishes made by others, all looking very appetizing.
Jing Yi immediately went for the seafood platter, "Little Yin, you\'re really amazing!" Wen Yin seemed a bit embarrassed, "It\'s actually quite simple."
Jing Yi had been by Wen Yin\'s side the whole time, observing and assisting him. The preparation was indeed quite troublesome, but Wen Yin\'s movements were very skillful, and she basically hadn\'t been able to help much.
Li Shaocheng\'s eyes flashed with disdain, it\'s just a plate of seafood, what\'s so special about it?
Everyone at the table was eating happily except for Li Shaocheng. Li Yujia\'s beef brisket was also very popular. Sister Lin casually praised, "Yujia\'s cooking skills are really good, Shaocheng must have been well-fed by her sister, right?"
The air at the dining table froze for a second.
Sister Lin hadn\'t actually watched the other guests\' livestreams, and seeing Li Yujia\'s skilled manner, she assumed she was the one who cooked more at home.
But the others who were in the entertainment industry more or less knew about the controversy surrounding the Li Shaocheng sisters on the internet.
Hearing Sister Lin\'s words, they all lowered their heads without speaking, to avoid laughing out loud.
The smile on Li Shaocheng\'s lips vanished instantly, a momentary gloom crossing her brow before she quickly resumed smiling.
But the smile at the corners of her mouth seemed forced, "I didn\'t realize my sister had such talent. Usually, I do most of the cooking, it seems we\'ve really been overlooking her abilities."
Li Yujia looked a bit uncomfortable, forcing a smile, "Yeah, it\'s just a coincidence." Sister Lin finally noticed the oddness between the two and, after exchanging a glance with Chen Yu beside her, closed her mouth and continued eating.
Jing Yi looked up, somewhat surprised, "Really? I thought Sister Yujia knew how to cook originally. But if she\'s a beginner, that\'s even more impressive!"
Everyone else: It\'s clear she\'s genuinely praising...
Jing Zeqian put a piece of beef brisket in her bowl, "Just eat your food!" If this went on, Li Shaocheng might die of anger on the spot.
Although Jing Yi was a bit confused, she obediently ate her food without saying more. The dining table returned to silence.
[Pfft!]
[Pfft! Pfft! I\'m not laughing, really!]
[Jing Yi is just too cute!]
The afternoon was basically free time.
Li Shaocheng was circling around Wen Qingyan, "Brother Qingyan, you can even ride a bicycle? That\'s amazing. I wanted to look around the area this morning! But I don\'t know how to ride, could you please give me a lift?"
Anyway, her reputation was already like this, and since she couldn\'t salvage it, at least she couldn\'t lose her popularity!
Wen Qingyan was pushing the bicycle, his eyes showing impatience. He had originally wanted to ask Jing Zejun if he wanted to go cycling together, but this person just latched onto him.
[...Does anyone know what Li Shaocheng is trying to do again?]
[Can\'t she just go away?]
[I knew she would definitely cling to brother to leech off him!]
[Orange just wants to be friendly, can\'t you guys see people in a less dirty way?]
[The one above, Li Shaocheng might as well have \'Bad publicity is still publicity\' written on her face!]
Wen Qingyan, annoyed by her pestering, said emotionlessly, "Actually, I don\'t know how to ride either, I just brought it out to have a look." Li Shaocheng\'s expression froze on her face.
Li Shaocheng watched as he pushed the bicycle back, her hands clenched tightly, gritting her teeth. After Wen Qingyan left, Li Yujia came forward and tugged at Li Shaocheng\'s sleeve, her expression somewhat tired.
"Orange, let\'s go."
Li Shaocheng suppressed the urge to shake her off, and walked stiffly towards the villa. Li Yujia could only follow her.
"Sorry, my sister and I have something private to discuss." Li Shaocheng forced a smile as she blocked the cameraman outside the door, not noticing the staff\'s attempt to say something.
As soon as the door closed, Li Shaocheng\'s face darkened, "What are you trying to do?"
Li Yujia looked exhausted, "I should be asking you that. What exactly are you trying to do? It\'s the last episode, can\'t we just get through it peacefully?" Always causing trouble for the Jing Zejun siblings, and now clinging to Wen Qingyan.
Why couldn\'t she just be content with the status quo?
Li Shaocheng\'s lips curled into a mocking smile, "How can I be at peace? I prepared for so long, just wanting to become famous through this show, and now it\'s all been ruined by them. Now you must be pleased, everyone is praising you!"
Li Shaocheng\'s voice gradually became frantic, "You\'re so great, you can cook, you\'re sensible, you know how to take care of your sister, you have excellent grades, you graduated from a prestigious school! I just have to snatch all of these away from you!"
She let out a cold laugh, "You think I don\'t know? Why did you choose to study in such a faraway city?" Her voice was icy, and Li Yujia unconsciously took half a step back.
"Isn\'t it just to escape from me and our parents? Li Yujia, let me tell you, don\'t even think about it! In this life, you\'re destined to never surpass me, Li Shaocheng!"
Li Yujia stared blankly at Li Shaocheng\'s frenzied appearance, murmuring, "So you knew? Why?"
Li Shaocheng curled her lips, her eyes mocking, "Why? If I can\'t win against them, can\'t I at least beat you? Sister, of course I need to always stand above you, only then can I sleep soundly!"
