Chapter 160 I'm not buying your act



Tian Tian made breakfast, which filled a large table.

It looks very appetizing.

Especially those plump, soft, steaming hot buns, they make you really want to take a bite.

Jiang Li casually picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

Although it's not as good as what Ayan makes, it's still quite delicious.

After finishing a steamed bun, Jiang Li turned her head and saw Jiang Xueqi, who had washed her skin until it was pale and had changed her clothes.

Jiang Li glanced at her once before looking away.

Unimportant people shouldn't take up too much of her attention.

"Jiang Li..." Jiang Xueqi opened her mouth, her face instantly turning red, and pleaded, "Could you...could you share some of our breakfast?"

"Why should I?" Jiang Li took another sip of porridge and asked coolly.

"You took our points, leaving my third brother and me without any points to redeem for breakfast," Jiang Xueqi said matter-of-factly. "Isn't it only right that you share some breakfast with us?"

Jiang Li suddenly laughed, "I took the points that belonged to you? You didn't have this attitude when you asked me to help with the task... What, now you think that since the task is completed and you're free, you can go back on your word?"

"I..." Jiang Xueqi choked for a moment, but quickly composed herself, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "I'm sorry, I misspoke, that's not what I meant. The other groups of guests have fewer points, not even enough for themselves, so I felt embarrassed to ask them for help. But you have the most points, and you made such a big breakfast, it would be a waste if you couldn't finish it, so... I thought..."

"You just want something for nothing?" Jiang Li scoffed, finishing what Jiang Xueqi hadn't finished saying.

"No, no..." Jiang Xueqi's face paled even more, and she said in a wronged tone, "I just asked you to lend it to me, and I will return it to you later."

"Sorry, no thanks." Jiang Li refused Jiang Xueqi expressionlessly. "This little bit of food isn't even enough for me to eat, and you want to lend it to someone? What are you thinking?"

"Jiang Li, I beg you..." Jiang Xueqi's expression became even more pleading. "You can ignore my life or death, but you can't ignore Third Brother's life or death, right? Third Brother ended up like this because of my choice. Can you share some food with Third Brother?"

"You said it yourself, your third brother is starving because of you, so you're the one who should take responsibility..." Jiang Li's smile turned even colder. "What's with you trying to morally blackmail me now?"

[I initially thought Jiang Li was heartless, but her next words made me realize something instantly.]

[Exactly! Jiang Chengying didn't have food because of Jiang Xueqi, not because of Jiang Li. To morally blackmail someone just because Jiang Li has more food is a bit absurd, isn't it?]

Those who know Jiang Li's appetite will simply say that breakfast wasn't much for her at all, so how could she possibly waste it and not finish it?

[Just eat a little, we won't starve, what's wrong with sharing some with others?]

"Skipping one meal won't kill you; just let your older brother go hungry."

At first, I didn't like Jiang Li's attitude, but now I admire her. She's the kind of person I want to be!

I used to quite like Jiang Xueqi, but I never expected her to be such a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative woman. I feel so sorry for Jiang Li!

[...]

Jiang Xueqi was speechless after being rebuked by Jiang Li, so she said angrily, "Jiang Li, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless? My third brother is also your brother. As his sister, can't you care about your brother?"

Jiang Li was speechless. She scoffed, "Since you're here to participate in the show, you have to abide by the rules. If you can't do the work, don't get points, and don't get food, you start using moral blackmail. Who gave you the confidence to think that others will help you?"

"Jiang Li, you!"

"Stop with the 'you' and 'me' stuff. We're not that close. Don't always try to get attention from me." Jiang Li couldn't help but roll her eyes again. "I don't buy that."

Jiang Xueqi was about to say something when she was interrupted by Jiang Chengying, who suddenly appeared.

"Jiang Xueqi, what are you doing?" Jiang Chengying's face was extremely ugly. "Do you think you haven't embarrassed yourself enough?"

When Jiang Chengying chose to assign the task to Jiang Li, he was already prepared to skip breakfast.

As for Jiang Xueqi, he assumed she had also accepted this outcome.

Unexpectedly, she actually had the audacity to come looking for Jiang Li.

She may not care about her reputation, but I do!

Jiang Xueqi felt extremely wronged by Jiang Chengying's words, "Third Brother, I was doing this for you! I was afraid you'd go hungry, so I..."

"Alright, that's enough, let's go."

Jiang Xueqi followed Jiang Chengying away, turning back every few steps, and finally glared fiercely at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li pretended not to see it.

Jiang Li leisurely enjoyed her breakfast, her mood completely unaffected.

Throughout the entire process, Tian Tian remained invisible, keeping her head down and eating her meal.

It's best if she doesn't meddle in things that aren't her business.

The conversation sparked a new wave of gossip among the viewers in the live stream.

After breakfast, Jiang Li looked around and chose a good spot.

It's a place where the camera can capture their images, but can't pick up any audio.

As for the photographer who follows the shoot...

Jiang Li turned to look at him, "We've all finished breakfast, but you haven't eaten yet. Let's sit in the yard for a while, why don't you go and eat your breakfast first?"

“This…” The photographer hesitated.

“We won’t run around in the yard, and there are cameras filming us, aren’t there?” Jiang Li pointed to the cameras in the yard. “Besides, if you don’t eat now, you’ll have even less time to eat when we’re rested and ready to go on our mission.”

Jiang Li is right, the photographer obediently went to eat.

In fact, in places with fixed cameras, the cameraman can take a break.

However, the photographer who was following Jiang Li and her team felt that there would be unexpected gains if he kept filming them.

Didn't someone just come here and humiliate themselves?

The footage captured here is far more impressive than what you'd get from a fixed camera.

That's why he was so diligent when facing Jiang Li...

But food is essential for life, so eating is still very important.

After the photographer left, Jiang Li pulled Tian Tian to a corner she had chosen, and even grabbed two small stools. The two of them sat there facing each other.

What are they saying? Am I deaf, or is everyone else deaf?

[I knew it... if they suddenly sent the cameraman away, these two were definitely going to say something unspeakable!]

What's wrong with Tian Tian? What is she saying? Why did she start crying while she was talking?

[Hey guys in the live stream, anyone here know lip reading? Now's your turn to shine!]

[This indicates that a small part of the lip reading was understood, but the content cannot be revealed...]

[Tch, just playing tricks again. Jiang Li's fans are disgusting!!!]

Sisters, I know a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, but does anyone remember Tian Tian faking a jump at an amusement park?

Oh, that "jumping off a building" performance, I heard it was supposed to be a treat for fans, but it backfired, so they changed it...

That's all just talk; in reality...

[Shut upstairs, I'm warning you to shut down the live stream, but... we can create a group chat...]

[What gossip? I'll create a group chat, everyone come join!]
