Li Guizhi and Xu Feng sat opposite the two children.
Li Guizhi tapped on the table, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Xiaoli shrank back, "I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
Xiao Muyu revealed everything about their bet, like a sieve.
The two mothers were speechless for a moment after hearing this.
Li Guizhi tapped her daughter's forehead, both amused and exasperated, "Only Xiao Zong would indulge your nonsense like this!"
Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little Pear just now, did you want Little Yu to keep it a secret for you?"
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Xiaoyu is being coy, so I had no choice but to act tough. I didn't expect you two to arrive so quickly."
Li Guizhi and Xu Feng both burst out laughing at the same time.
Li Guizhi laughed for a while and then sighed, "I definitely don't support you dating so early, but this person is Xiao Zong, and I think it's not bad."
Xu Feng also chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Zong is really great. Oh, now that I think about it, Xiao Zong has always been so good to Xiao Li!"
Jiang Xiaoli panicked upon hearing this and explained to Li Guizhi, "We really just got together!"
Li Guizhi was amused by her nervous little movements, "Okay, okay, I understand!"
The two mothers had a very easy time, but Xiao Jincheng exploded at noon.
What?! You're dating Xiao Zong?!
Xiao Jincheng looked shocked, much like a dragon whose treasure had been stolen.
Xu Feng patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't Xiao Zong doing great? You used to praise him a lot!"
Xiao Jincheng glared at Xu Feng, "How can that be the same!"
He turned to look at Jiang Xiaoli, "Xiaoli, was this your own choice? Or did that kid coax you?"
Jiang Xiaoli really couldn't bear to hurt him, but she still told the truth, "Uncle Xiao, who can coax me?"
Xiao Jincheng ate his meal without tasting it, and Jiang Xiaoli couldn't bear to see him so dejected.
“Uncle Xiao, Zong Jiayu is a good person. You know him well, don’t you?”
Xiao Jincheng sighed, "Sigh, no matter how good he is, can he be as good as my little pear? This kid must have been plotting something from the beginning. I misjudged him."
Xu Feng finally couldn't hold back anymore. She reached out and pinched his waist. "You look down on this one and that one, but tell me, is that young man you know better than Xiao Zong?"
Xiao Jincheng stammered, unable to speak, but he stubbornly insisted on his opinion, "This kid is too scheming!"
Xu Feng pointed at him speechlessly and said to Li Guizhi, "Sister-in-law, look at this man, he's completely unreasonable!"
Li Guizhi smiled and took Xu Feng's arm, "Jincheng treats Xiaolizi like his own daughter. It's alright, she'll get used to it in time."
Dafu happily came home for lunch in the afternoon, but he was completely stunned when he heard the news.
His fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "Little Pear, Zhong Yuan is an idiot, isn't he? It's been a month, and he still hasn't figured it out?"
Jiang Xiaoli touched her nose. "Well... is Brother Yuan a bit naive?"
Dafu was speechless. "I really feel a little embarrassed to tell others that he is my brother."
Li Guizhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Xiao Yuan believes everything you say, but he's not like that with outsiders!"
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment, "Hey, that's really true! When he goes out to talk business with clients, he's as shrewd as a monkey!"
Dafu came to his senses and realized that was indeed the case, but he was still speechless. "Then he's an idiot too!"
Dafu was furious and immediately called Zhong Yuan.
Jiang Xiaoli also took the opportunity to call Zong Jiayu.
"Comrade Xiao Zong, you've won."
Zong Jia was completely confused, and then he saw Zhong Yuan rush into his room with the phone in his hand.
"Brother Zong! You and Xiaoli have been together for a month! And you didn't even tell me!"
Zong Jia was stunned for two seconds, then couldn't help but chuckle. He said into the phone, "What's going on?"
After listening to his girlfriend's story, he kicked Zhong Yuan out of the room.
After a long pause, he said cheerfully, "So, our secret relationship is over?"
Jiang Xiaoli hummed twice, "Oh right, right, put away your upturned lips, because I'm not in a very good mood right now."
Zong Jiayu couldn't help but be happy, "Anyway, everyone will find out sooner or later, what will godmother say?"
At this point, Jiang Xiaoli got excited and said, "My mother has no objections."
She paused for two seconds, then said, "But Uncle Xiao might not be on your side anymore."
Zong Jia was stunned for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Strongly opposed?"
She described Xiao Jincheng's entire reaction to him with schadenfreude, "Uncle Xiao said you're scheming and have the ambition of a wolf!"
"This..." Zong Jia felt very wronged!
"I'll explain it to Uncle Xiao when I see him later."
The two hadn't exchanged more than a few words when Li Guizhi came and knocked on the door. "Xiao Li! Da Fu! Have you finished your phone calls? Dinner's ready!"
Jiang Xiaoli quickly said into the phone, "I'm hanging up now, bye-bye."
Just before the call ended, Zong Jia reminded her, "Little Pear, get ready to go back to Kyoto and keep your promise."
She pressed the hang-up button faster than she thought.
Back at the restaurant, Dafu couldn't help but complain, "Zhong Yuan said he couldn't find any flaws."
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "It seems I'm quite suited to underground work!"
Li Guizhi raised her chopsticks and tapped her on the head, "What kind of behavior is this, sneaking around all day?"
She covered her head and said, "I won't do it again!"
Waaah, even though they're openly dating, she still gets beaten by her mom at home. She's so pitiful.
During the meal, Li Guizhi cooked a dish she had recently researched for her beloved student Dafu, which received several positive feedbacks.
Dafu not only enjoyed delicious food, but also learned a couple of tricks from Li Guizhi, gaining a lot from the experience.
Apart from Jiang Xiaoli, the other two people enjoyed the meal very much.
After the meal, the master and apprentice continued to discuss cooking skills, while Xiao Jiang, the dishwasher, washed the dishes online.
When she heard about the dishwashing assignment, she knew that her mother was still a little angry about her not reporting her relationship.
Of all the housework, washing dishes was the one she hated the most.
If she had a choice, she would rather hand-wash several sets of bed sheets and duvet covers than wash dishes.
She felt uncomfortable all over because of the greasy feeling on her hands.
As she washed the dishes, billionaire Xiao Jiang sighed for the 16th time, "Dishwasher, I really need you."
No, dishwashers should be quite advanced by now, right? My first priority when I get back to Kyoto is to buy one! Who knows if this kind of punishment will happen again?
Yes! That's the decision! Add one to your to-do list.
She dawdled as she washed the dishes, and then carefully washed her hands before coming out of the kitchen.
Dafu and Li Guizhi had finished their conversation, and he got up to say goodbye. "Little Li, I'll pick you up from school tomorrow morning to go to the factory."
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Brother Dafu."
After seeing Dafu off, Xiao Jincheng pulled her back home.
"Oh, Uncle Xiao, I thought you must have a business dinner tonight!"
