Liu Yang's father bowed and scraped, grabbed his still defiant son and wife, and turned to leave.
After the annoying person left, Ji Jinnian turned around and looked at the little girl.
Qiqi remained silent and stunned from the moment her second brother made his move.
She always thought that only her fourth brother in the family would hit people.
Who would have thought that Frankenstein's freakish older brother would resort to violence?!
Seeing the little girl staring at him in shock, her big, dark eyes wide open, looking unexpectedly adorable.
Ji Jinnian pushed up his glasses. "Scared?"
"No." Qiqi shook her head, still staring at him with wide eyes, her face full of surprise and curiosity.
One more thing... eager to try?
Ji Jinnian raised an eyebrow, wondering why she would have such a thought.
"Then why do you look at me like that?"
Qiqi shrank back, thinking, "Never mind, my second brother's fake smile is so scary!"
It's better not to fight him. What if he can't beat you and then turns you into a little brat?
When curiosity is at stake, survival is more important than life itself.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, Second Brother, let's go inside quickly, I'm hungry!"
Her little belly made a "gurgling" sound in response, and Qiqi scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
Madam Ji quickly opened a bag of snacks she had brought and handed it to the little girl so she could eat first.
The group entered the park.
The person in charge was waiting at the entrance and immediately came to greet them.
"Welcome to our eco-friendly orchard for a fun fruit-picking experience! Our orchard is divided into several sections, with strawberries, apples, pears, grapes, and more. You can choose your favorite area to pick your own fruit. There's also a food processing and preparation area where you can make the delicious food you want."
Madam Ji smiled gracefully, "Okay."
She gave the bodyguard next to her a look, and the bodyguard immediately stepped forward to pay the fee.
Mrs. Ji carried Qiqi and walked inside the park following the signs.
"Qibao, which district do you want to go to first?" Madam Ji stopped and asked when they reached the fork in the road.
"Strawberry, strawberry!" Qiqi excitedly pointed to the strawberry image on the sign.
"Okay, let's go to the strawberry section first."
Madam Ji, carrying Qiqi, was about to head towards the strawberry section when Ji Jinnian suddenly stepped forward and said, "Let's go to the apple orchard first."
"Why?" Madam Ji looked at him strangely. She was already surprised that the second son suggested picking fruit, but now he was going to the apple orchard first, disregarding Qiqi's wishes. She didn't believe he didn't have some ulterior motive.
Unfortunately, this second child, despite his young age, is incredibly cunning, making it difficult for his parents to understand his true thoughts.
Ji Jinnian lowered his head subtly, avoiding Madam Ji's gaze, and tapped his glasses frame with his finger. "I heard from my classmate that their orchard is having an event recently. Whoever can pick the tallest and biggest apple from all the apple trees can eat as many as they want for free all day!"
Ji Jinnian was well aware of the allure of the word "free" to younger girls, so he directly unleashed his trump card.
Sure enough, Qiqi immediately fell for it. "Really? Then Mom, let's go to the apple section first!"
Madam Ji glanced at her second son suspiciously, but since her little daughter had agreed, she didn't say anything more and turned to walk towards the apple section with Qiqi in her arms.
The apple orchard is quite large, and although it wasn't Sunday, several families were still enjoying the fun of apple picking.
Staff from the apple-growing area came to greet them, and Qiqi excitedly said sweetly to the staff member, "Sister, I want to participate in your apple-picking activity."
"An apple-picking activity?" The staff member was taken aback. Just as he was about to ask what the apple-picking activity was, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.
She took it out and glanced at it, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she had already composed herself when she looked up.
"Little sister, are you sure? The apple tree is very tall and big. You are too young to climb it."
Qiqi chuckled, "Yes, yes, I want to participate in that activity, I'm really good at climbing trees!"
"But..." The staff member looked pleadingly at Mrs. Ji, who was holding her, hoping that the child's mother could help persuade her.
The response was from the child's mother: "Just do as my daughter says. If you're worried that something might happen and we'll cause trouble for the park, we can sign a waiver with the park."
Staff: ...
No, even if you spoil your child, this is not the way to indulge them.
Are you really that carefree?
Is it appropriate to let a three-year-old girl climb trees and pick fruit?
Don't you know how dangerous this behavior is?
Aren't they worried at all?
The little girl is so cute, it would be such a pity if she fell and got a scar!
Out of concern for the girl's safety, the staff tried to persuade her several more times, but the girl and her family insisted, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After all, there was no apple picking activity originally planned for the park. As soon as the girl said she wanted to participate, she received a notice from her supervisor that the apple picking activity would be temporarily opened.
Looking at the family members, each dressed in luxurious clothes and exuding an air of extraordinary elegance, she reasonably suspected that this activity was something they had arranged with the park owner specifically to appease their child.
The staff eventually signed a waiver with Mrs. Ji, in order to avoid being pushed out to take the blame if anything really happened.
After signing the agreement, the staff led them into the park and explained the rules to them: "For every apple picked from the tallest and biggest tree, one person will get to eat it for free."
"Mmm, can I start now?" Qiqi asked excitedly as Madam Ji put her down, rubbing her hands together, eager to try.
The staff member nodded. "You can begin once you're ready."
Upon hearing this, Qiqi was about to rush forward like a cannonball.
He had only taken two steps when someone reached out and stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute."
He suddenly appeared, and Qiqi almost bumped into him. Luckily, she braked in time and frowned at him, "What are you doing?"
The girl who stopped her was wearing a princess dress and had two braids.
She looked a few years older than Qiqi, with a pretty and delicate face, but her expression was extremely arrogant and haughty.
"Is she your relative?" the young girl asked the staff member with a condescending air.
The staff member paused for a moment, then shook his head.
Her expression immediately changed, and she said in a sharp voice, "Then why didn't you mention that event you were talking about when we came? What, do you look down on us?"
The staff member was just an employee; most of the people who came here to experience life were wealthy, so she wouldn't dare offend them.
He quickly explained, "No, you misunderstood. I just received the notification myself..."
