Ji Chengye only disliked Ji Chengfeng, but he didn't intend to make the little girl cry.
Especially when the little girl cries, the whole family looks at him with accusatory eyes, making him feel like a sinner for all time.
Ji Chengye awkwardly touched his nose, somewhat avoiding the old lady's gaze.
Madam Ji snorted coldly: "You made yourselves cry, so get out there and comfort them! If you can't comfort them, you'll all be kicked out of the house."
Ji Chengye: ...
I knew the old lady liked her daughter, but it didn't have to come to this.
Despite having no blood relation, she holds a higher status than him, her biological son. The old lady's mind is completely biased.
but……
The little girl was adorable, with big, bright eyes. She would cry and then sneak a peek at him, looking mischievous and clever.
This adorable little girl, Ji Chengfeng was unable to move when she hugged one of her legs. It was obvious that she was faking it. She clearly wanted to stay but was giving him a hard time, just to make him lower his head and ask to stay.
He's been in the entertainment industry for a long time; he's seen this kind of thing many times.
Thinking of this, Ji Chengye also put away his confrontational attitude and stepped forward with the gifts.
"Your name is Qiqi, right? This is a gift from your uncle." Ji Chengye handed the gift to Qiqi. "It was originally meant to be a greeting gift, but I'm sorry I was rude earlier and made you cry. This is an apology. As for the greeting gift, your uncle will give you an extra one, okay?"
Qiqi blinked her big, wet eyes at him, her little nose twitching as she sobbed.
Then she turned to look at her father: "Dad, can Qiqi accept this?"
"Why not accept it? Besides, he was definitely in the wrong!" Ji Chengfeng said coldly, snatching the gift box and stuffing it into Qiqi's arms.
The gift box was so big that Qiqi had trouble holding it with both of her little hands, and she had no idea what was inside.
She shook the box, and there was a clattering sound inside, indicating that there were quite a lot of things inside.
Qiqi happily turned her tears into a smile and said to Ji Chengye, "Thank you, Uncle."
Ji Chengye looked at the large box that almost completely buried the little guy, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
The box contains a complete set of limited-edition Barbie dolls. There are quite a few, so it's not light.
But she was only three years old, yet she could carry him and even swing him around, looking very relaxed.
"You're welcome." The little girl's smile was bright and sweet, making people's hearts melt. Ji Chengye couldn't resist reaching out to touch her head, but Ji Chengfeng slapped his hand away.
Ji Chengye frowned, his body bristling with thorns, ready to unleash his attack.
It was Ji Chengnan, the second uncle of the Ji family, who slapped each of them: "Alright, that's enough! You're all here now, so stay and have a meal. This is my little niece's first time visiting, so if anyone makes her cry again, I'll teach you a lesson."
Qiqi pouted, her big eyes filled with tears, looking at Ji Chengfeng and then at Ji Chengye.
It's as if anyone who dares to disagree will immediately burst into tears.
Ji Chengye's temples throbbed. The little girl was putting on an act again, did she think he'd fall for it?!
Okay, even though I know it's a trap, I have no choice but to take it.
"Okay, I'll eat it."
Ji Chengye relented, and Ji Chengfeng didn't say anything more.
Moreover, he really couldn't bear to leave his little daughter alone in this pack of "wolves and tigers," so he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Yay!" Having completed her mission, Qiqi immediately reached out to Grandma Ji, "Grandma, Daddy's not leaving!"
"Yes, our Qibao is the best!" Old Madam Ji pretended to reach out and hug her.
These two troublemakers had been a major headache for their whole family, but unexpectedly, things have eased up thanks to Qiqi.
Qiqi is truly their family's lucky star!
"Mom, let me carry her. Qi Bao is a bit heavy." Ji Chengfeng took a step back while carrying Qi Qi, afraid of tiring the old lady.
Hearing this, Qiqi lowered her eyes, looking somewhat sad and hurt: "Grandma, please don't hug me anymore. Dad is right, Qiqi eats a lot, she's so heavy."
"Pah, you brat, can't you speak properly? How is our Qibao heavy?" Old Madam Ji spat at him in annoyance. Their Qibao was clearly soft and fluffy, like a steamed bun, how was he heavy?
As he spoke, he snatched Qiqi away and hugged her tightly, even weighing her in his arms to prove that Qiqi wasn't heavy at all.
Ji Chengye followed suit, adding, "Exactly! With that mouth, you might poison yourself one day!"
Ji Chengfeng glared at him through gritted teeth.
Ji Chengye raised an eyebrow smugly.
Ji Chengfeng was so angry he almost ground his back teeth to powder, but seeing his little girl's sad face, he softened and gave in.
"I'm sorry, Qibao, Daddy misspoke. Our Qibao isn't heavy at all, our Qibao is very light!"
Ji Chengye chuckled to himself, never expecting that the arrogant Ji Chengfeng would actually have a day like this!
Seeing the mockery in his eyes, Ji Chengfeng felt as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Turning his head, he saw two little devils standing on the other side, and suddenly curled his lips into a sinister smile.
"A sweet, soft little girl is so much better than a sweaty, smelly boy. I'd be willing to give up my principles for her. Some people, you can't have them even if you beg!"
These words were clearly meant for Ji Chengye, and Ji Chengye was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
Damn it, I made a mistake, I didn't adopt a daughter sooner!
Or should we go now?
No, that won't do. I'll definitely get ridiculed by Lao Wu for trying to be a shrewd copycat!
Damn it, he won this round!
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Old Master Ji quickly spoke up: "Alright, both of you calm down and go eat."
The family walked towards the restaurant. Because there were so many people, they couldn't all sit at one large round table, so they split into two tables.
The younger ones sat at one table, while the two older people and the Ji brothers sat at another table.
Qiqi was an exception, sitting next to Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji.
The old lady specially added a child seat between them, which she had the maid rush to purchase after receiving confirmation in the afternoon.
"Tell Grandma what you want to eat, and Grandma will get it for you." Grandma Ji pinched Qiqi's cheek affectionately. "Or would you like Grandma to feed you?"
"No need, Grandma, Qiqi can eat by herself." Qiqi held a fork in her left hand and a spoon in her right, ready to start eating.
"Okay, what would you like to eat?" Old Madam Ji asked with a smile.
Qiqi's eyes lit up: "Qiqi loves to eat any kind of meat!"
The task of taking care of Qiqi was taken over by Old Madam Ji, and Madam Ji was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Ji Chengfeng sat next to him, and opposite him was Ji Chengye. When Madam Ji made this arrangement, she hoped that the two could ease their relationship and, ideally, shake hands and make peace.
As a result, Ji Chengfeng kept a cold face the whole time, and Ji Chengye also seemed too lazy to even glance at him.
There's really no way to make peace with each other!
