The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family - Chapter 61: Siblings Cooking

Chapter 61

After returning from the supermarket, Jing Zeqian was assigned the task of washing the ingredients.

Though he was just washing vegetables, there were water stains all around him and on the floor.

Jing Zeqian noticed the look of disdain on Jing Yi’s face. “What? You think I’m not doing a good job?”

Jing Yi was still internally complaining when Jing Zeqian caught her off guard. She quickly sweetened her tone, “Not at all, you’re doing great! Keep it up!”

Jing Zeqian’s mouth twitched slightly. What a perfunctory way of praising…

Jing Zejun was only assigned the task of juicing, using the fruits that Jing Zeqian had already washed.

He vigorously cleaned the ingredients, determined to let his brother deal with the company matters quickly. These tedious tasks shouldn’t fall on him alone!

[I feel like Little Jing is about to wash the cauliflower to pieces…]

[Haha, it’s like he’s taking out his frustrations on the vegetables as if they were Jing Yi.]

[Who would have thought that the Startrack CEO, who commands such respect outside, would be obediently helping his sister at home?]

After he finished everything, he changed his clothes and collapsed on the sofa. His previous outfit was completely soaked through.

Don’t be fooled by how little work it seemed – it wasn’t any easier than going to the office!

By this time, Jing Yi had already started stir-frying. She held the ladle skillfully, tossing the ingredients in the wok.

The camera quickly focused on the steaming shrimp in the wok. A rich aroma of tomato sauce immediately filled the air, making viewers’ mouths water.

The audience couldn’t smell it at the moment, but that didn’t stop them from seeing the stark contrast between the tender white shrimp and the bright red tomato sauce.

Jing Zejun brought out the plated tomato shrimp dish. Jing Zeqian, seeing it from afar, quickly approached.

To be honest, just this one dish showed that Jing Yi really had some skills.

Jing Yi had been taking care of herself since she was young, so cooking simple home-style dishes wasn’t difficult for her.

When she used to live alone, she would cook for herself and often help the cooks at the welfare center.

It’s just that after she transmigrated, she didn’t need to cook herself, so they never knew Jing Yi could cook.

In the kitchen, Jing Yi had already started on another dish. The fish was sizzling in the pan, and she only flipped it when one side was golden brown.

Jing Yi took some pre-prepared black pepper and sprinkled it over the fish.

Seeing that the fish was almost done, she began plating, adding some fresh vegetables and a small bowl of lemon juice on the side.

At this time, the black chicken soup that had been simmering was also ready. Jing Yi lifted the lid, and the camera was quick to capture the soup bubbling and steaming.

Thankfully, Auntie Wang had prepared many of the base ingredients, so she just had to add them in. It was really convenient.

[It looks really good!]

[To be honest, I’m hungry too. I wonder how long until my takeout arrives…]

[Good thing I ordered takeout in advance! That’s how smart I am!]

[It’s not that impressive, she just used the soup base prepared by the maid.]

[To be fair, I think some people are just nitpicking.]

All the dishes were now on the table. Jing Zeqian found this scene quite novel and immediately took a photo to share in the group chat.

—One Big Family—

“Is this takeout?”

Lin Ruiqing, who was still traveling abroad, hadn’t had time to watch the livestream and thought the three had ordered takeout. She was worried that if there wasn’t any takeout, the people recording at home probably wouldn’t have much good food to eat.

“Jing Yi made it.”

“Yi Yi made this? That’s amazing!” Lin Ruiqing was surprised. The dishes in the photo looked exquisite; she had no idea Jing Yi had this skill.

“Looks good.” This was from the usually quiet Jing Beicheng.

“I’ll be home for dinner tonight.” Jing Zeyou, still at work in the company, suddenly felt a bit unbalanced looking at the photo his brother had sent.

Jing Zeqian’s lips curved into a smile, his mood greatly improved as he prepared to enjoy lunch.

“Big brother said he’ll be home for dinner tonight,” he said while picking up a piece of shrimp.

It really was quite good.

Jing Yi’s hand, holding a piece of fish, paused slightly.

[Another mouth to feed… but it’s big brother, so it’s fine. It’s just a few meals.]

She lowered her head to taste the fish. Not bad, crispy on the outside and tender inside. Seems her skills weren’t rusty.

Jing Zeqian: … It’s fine if big brother eats, but he’s being all wishy-washy about it.

A hint of sourness rose in Jing Zeqian’s heart, and his chopsticks moved even faster. Jing Yi gave him a strange look.

[How hungry is this guy?]

A glimmer of amusement flashed in Jing Zejun’s eyes, but his movements also quietly sped up. The shrimp was almost gone.

Meanwhile, Wen Qingyan’s family group was also having their meal.

To avoid falling into silence again, the staff occasionally threw questions at the two. “Does Film Emperor Wen have any plans for this reality show?”

Wen Qingyan pondered for a moment, then looked up at the camera. “I don’t have any specific plans at the moment. I just want to spend more time with family.”

He had decided to participate in the show on short notice, so how could he have any plans? He’d take it one step at a time. He was bound to meet people on a variety show, after all.

The staff member persisted, “Then how does Film Emperor Wen plan to spend this time?”

[Haha, the director must be having a hard time!]

[Isn’t this just asking the same question in a different way?]

[I’m dying of laughter. The production team is really going all out to get Wen Qingyan to talk more.]

[No wonder Film Emperor Wen doesn’t often participate in variety shows. It’s too easy for things to become awkward.]

How to spend the time? Isn’t this the same question as before?

Wen Qingyan found it a bit amusing. “I do have one idea. During the recording, will we always be in our respective families?”

The staff member replied, “In the early stages, the five families will carry out activities on their own.”

Whether they stayed at home or had other activities, it didn’t matter as long as it involved the whole family.

“In the later stages, we’ll arrange for the five families to gather together and interact.”

Wen Qingyan nodded in satisfaction. “That’s good. I was thinking it might be a bit boring with just me and Xiaoyin. It would be nice to gather with the other families.”

The staff member immediately followed up, “Does Film Emperor Wen know about the other guests?”

The production team had previously informed Wen Qingyan about the other four guests. Now they were asking to see his thoughts on the other participants.

Wen Qingyan smiled, “I know all of them, but I’m not very familiar with most. I’ve watched Chen Yu’s competitions, he’s very impressive. The one I’m most familiar with is Zejun, since we’ve filmed together, so I know him better.”

[So, who exactly do you want to meet up with?]

[Help! My CP isn’t even trying to hide it! He just wants to see Jing Zejun!]

[Calm down, calm down. Film Emperor Wen might just think it’s more lively with more people.]

[That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year: Wen Qingyan likes lively atmospheres…]

[Even if that’s not the case, couldn’t he want to meet up with Jing Zeqian?]

At this moment, the bullet comments had become a celebration for CP fans, drowning out all other interpretations.
