Chapter 57 Borrowing Money "Get away from Tao Tao right now!"
Ye Hantao was dragged away by Jin Shiyue.
"Sister, Sister Shiyue, wait a minute!"
"What are you waiting for!"
Jin Shiyue didn't even turn her head. "You're planning to go back and sell him again?! Too late! That slap I gave you wasn't for nothing!"
Ye Hantao was both amused and exasperated. "I lost my slipper."
Jin Shiyue then stopped, still holding Ye Hantao's wrist, and looked back down the corridor they had come from.
A lone blue and white slipper lay on the floor two meters away.
Ye Hantao glanced at her discreetly; her cheeks were flushed with anger, probably from a recent outburst.
"..." Jin Shiyue released her hand expressionlessly, "How old are you? You still manage to lose your slippers."
Ye Hantao hopped on one foot to pick up her slippers, with a pillow she had retrieved halfway through the journey tucked under her arm.
This is the pillow that Jin Shiyue used to hit Ji Changtu not long ago.
"Sister Shiyue, why aren't you asleep anymore?"
"If I sleep any longer, you'll fall into the trap set by those low-lifes with ulterior motives."
【Ah!!! What?! What?! What kind of scheming con artist is this?!】
[It sounds like Kin Shigetsu's voice?]
The live stream will start promptly at 8:00 PM.
At this moment, the viewers who had been waiting for a long time just flooded into the live broadcast room.
In Jin Shiyue's and Ye Hantao's personal live streams, Jin Shiyue said at the same time: "If I keep sleeping, you'll be tricked by some low-class person with ulterior motives."
Once the image became clear, viewers saw Jin Shiyue standing alone at the door with her arms crossed, waiting. A few seconds later, Ye Hantao actually entered the bedroom carrying a pillow.
【？？？？？】
【Aa ...
[Production team! Calling the production team!]
Did Ye Hantao stay with someone else last night?
[Who could it be? He Qiang? He Qiang isn't even used to shaking hands with people, could she possibly share a bed with someone?]
[Ye Hantao is none other than my junior sister!]
[I guess it wasn't He Qiang. Jin Shiyue and He Qiang have argued so many times, but I've never seen Jin Shiyue call He Qiang a lowlife.]
Ye Hantao picked up the pillow, patted the dust off the pillowcase, and then took the pillowcase off.
The pillowcase touched the ground, so it's not appropriate to put it back on the bed.
Jin Shiyue hit Ji Changtu with her own pillow; the pink pillowcase felt cool and smooth to the touch.
Immediately, the viewers who were speculating were surprised to find that Ye Hantao had taken apart the pillow and put the pillow core back on Jin Shiyue's bed.
In the footage, there are two pillows on Kim Si-wol's bed.
【？？？】
Did Ye Hantao and Jin Shiyue sleep in the same bed last night?!
After putting the pillow away, Ye Hantao replied, "I'm not short of money, and I've never thought about selling him."
"Remember what you said."
Just as Jin Shiyue was about to analyze Ji Changtu's sinister intentions, she inadvertently glanced at the wall clock and realized it was already eight o'clock.
Jin Shiyue is extremely annoyed.
Being unable to sleep in a new bed and suffering from insomnia meant her biological clock couldn't wake her up at 7 a.m., and all the viewers in the live stream saw that she was without makeup.
Jin Shiyue turned her back to the camera and strode into the bathroom. Before closing the door, she added in an unhappy tone, "Whenever you need money, just borrow from me. You're not allowed to sell things to Ji Changtu."
Ye Hantao smiled and responded to her retreating figure, "Okay!"
[Disease progression: 72.8%]
"???" Ye Hantao looked blankly at the two cameras in the room, then at the clock on the wall, her mind, which had just woken up, began to work.
The show started at 8 PM.
But she wasn't lying, vain, or greedy, was she?
A few guesses flashed through Ye Hantao's mind, and suddenly a lightbulb went off in her head: she was greedy!
"Sister Shiyue." She ran to the bathroom door in her slippers, knocked a few times, and said in a clear, crisp voice, "If I need money, I really will borrow it from you! I might even borrow a lot, a lot, a lot!"
Jin Shiyue was washing her face when she heard this, but she didn't stop applying the facial cleanser.
[Disease progression: 72.2%]
Ye Hantao emphasized again, "A huge amount!"
Jin Shiyue was extremely annoyed and said loudly through the door, "Lend it! I'll lend you as much as you want!"
After saying so much, and with no further changes in her condition, Ye Hantao stopped pretending to be greedy and wanting to borrow money.
She turned back to the bedside, folded the quilt, and then picked out clothes from the closet to wear when going out during the day.
Has Ye Hantao's family gone bankrupt?
[Of course! I figured my public image was in place recently, so I brought in the jade ornaments this week, hoping to get a good price.]
[Not necessarily. Like the family members caught buying decorative items last night, it's more likely they're using the show to find a rich husband.]
[I checked Ye Hantao's follower count; I'm afraid she's trying to leverage her popularity to sell her figurines at inflated prices to her fans?]
[Hahaha, who's this for? Who can buy it?]
[If a big shot really can buy it, Shanfeng won't waste any more words!]
[I get it. Ye Hantao was actually a rich heiress, but her family went bankrupt when she was young, leading to poverty. Now she either has to marry a rich man or sell things at high prices!]
This screen flashed before Zhou Ti and Ye Weizheng's eyes.
For a fleeting moment, their expressions were indescribable.
After picking out her clothes, Ye Hantao glanced at the pink bag in the closet.
Before bringing it to the show, she thought it was a high-quality counterfeit bag and planned to use it to create a vain persona.
It was only after her mother made that she learned that this was a secondhand item being disposed of by one of her father's clients.
My mom wasn't sure if it was real or fake, but she said it was probably fake because that customer was a professional counterfeiter.
Ye Hantao planned to bring this bag to the charity auction that evening.
She sat on the edge of the bed, flipping through a booklet to find the driver's contact number. "Hello? Driver, yes, I need the car for the whole day. We're leaving at ten in the morning. Okay, thank you."
After confirming the information with the driver, the deposit is then paid to them.
No one else got their phones back. She was the class monitor and needed to stay in touch with the driver, so the production crew returned her phone to her last night before she went to bed.
[Supplier: Tao Tao, we're having a team-building event at our internet cafe in the south of the city.]
Even as Zhou Mingsheng typed out those words, he felt they were forced, but he continued: "[If you feel unwell during the recording, tell me immediately, don't hide it.]"
[The supplier said: I brought some of the medicinal plasters and ointments that my great-aunt made.]
After her initial surprise, Ye Hantao smiled.
Only a fool would believe that excuse from the older brother. It's highly likely that the older brother heard about the team building event and persuaded the boss to choose the South City as the location.
[good. ]
Just as she was about to send the message, Ye Hantao thought of Liao Jiayue, who had a bloated stomach.
Dr. Ke was invited by the program team and did not prescribe any medicine.
Jia Yue later said that her condition was affected by bloating when she was doing the questions.
She asked the production team when she got back last night, and they said that the only Western medicine they always kept on hand was for stomach pain.
Ye Hantao deleted it.
[Taking a bite of a peach: Big brother, did you bring the plaster that Auntie made for treating stomach bloating?]
Zhou Mingsheng made a phone call immediately, sounding somewhat anxious: "Tao Tao, is your stomach upset?"
“Jia Yue has a bloated stomach,” Ye Hantao explained. “When I had bloating and stomach pain before, my great-aunt’s plaster and digestive tea worked.”
When Zhou Mingsheng heard that Tao Tao was preparing it for Liao Jiayue, he immediately stopped worrying.
"When will you be staying at the guesthouse? I'll tell you in person."
That was obviously a lie; he planned to go at a time when they weren't at the guesthouse.
Although you can see what TaoTao and the others are doing in real time through the live stream, there's no guarantee that unexpected situations won't occur.
Ye Hantao thought for a moment, "We'll be at the guesthouse until 10 a.m. today, and then we'll be out all day. We also have to attend a charity gala tonight, so we'll probably be back around 10:30 p.m. Tomorrow, we'll be there until noon."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning."
Zhou Mingsheng planned to train the team members who were staying at the guesthouse in the morning, and then drop off his things at the guesthouse in the afternoon before Tao Tao and the others went to attend a charity auction.
I'll tell Tao Tao later that something came up tomorrow morning and I can only go tonight.
Ye Hantao's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Thank you for your help, big brother."
【？！！！！】
[That guy who said Flash is bad? ???]
[The guy playing with spring vines?!]
I heard his voice during a previous live stream, it's so handsome! I can picture him as a dashing, clean-cut guy (shy.jpg)
Speaking of which, weren't there rumors online that someone else was logging into Ye Hantao's game account? If she comes tonight, let them play a game on the spot.
"It'll be very late then; they have a charity auction tonight."
Ye Hantao and Zhou Mingsheng chatted for about three to five minutes. After hanging up the phone, she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Sister Shiyue has a habit of taking a quick shower in the morning, and it takes about half an hour before she can come out after putting on makeup.
She sat in the house for a while, then got up, opened the door, and thought she would go to the kitchen to make some breakfast.
The way the production team treated them was completely different from the previous episode.
The mattress is hard, and the ingredients are on sale.
There are no Bentleys available; you need to call to rent one. You'll have to take care of your own meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
Did the production team offend a major sponsor?
As soon as the door opened, Ye Hantao met the gaze of the cameraman who had just come upstairs.
Just as she was about to wave goodbye as usual, she remembered Director Wan's words of advice.
They have to treat these cameramen like they're not there and can't keep looking at the camera.
Ye Hantao looked away and stretched in the corridor, facing the sunlight streaming through the window.
Because Jin Shiyue was in the bathroom, Ye Hantao didn't go in to change her clothes. She was still wearing short-sleeved pajamas with a white semi-transparent cardigan over them.
At this moment, she was bathed in the soft light of the sunrise, her face and neck glowing with a faint pink hue, like a ripe peach hanging on a summer branch, so sweet and juicy that you could almost squeeze the juice out of it.
This woman is seducing me again!
I don't believe you can be completely unmoved!!!
[Fans, wake up! Ye Hantao is out there trying to snag a rich husband (picking nose.jpg)]
[Ye Hantao: Breathe. Haters: Seducing!]
Haha ...
In the bathroom on the other side, Yuan Kai pushed open the door, and Ji Changtu was washing his face inside.
A look of horror crossed Ji Changtu's fat face. "How did you get in—hiss."
As he spoke, the pain from the cut on his lip caused Ji Changtu's face to contort. "How did you get in?"
“I didn’t want to come in,” Yuan Kai said in a low voice, “but it’s eight o’clock, and the live broadcast has started.”
He can't delay what he wants to do; he needs to find out as soon as possible.
As Yuan Kai got closer, he noticed the scratch on Ji Changtu's lip. "Your lip..."
Ji Changtu rushed back a few minutes ago, and before he could even say a word, he hid in the bathroom.
Yuan Kai asked suspiciously, "What did you do this morning?"
"I went out for a walk to clear my head," Ji Changtu said, wiping his face. "I accidentally scratched a tree branch and cut my skin."
Yuan Kai did not believe Ji Changtu's reason, but he also did not have time to waste.
He first shouted, "There's something wrong with this water heater, Changtu, step aside, let me take a look."
While he was making a show of shouting, Ji Changtu watched him perform silently.
Yuan Kai then asked, "Is Ye Hantao's jadeite really glass-type, or old mine glass-type?"
Ji Changtu's heart skipped a beat.
"What are you thinking?" Ji Changtu gripped the edge of the pool without changing his expression. "Old mine glass jadeite, do you know how much it costs per gram?"
Yuan Kai really didn't know.
The production crew only told them to confiscate their phones right before they boarded the bus, so he hadn't been able to go online to check anything last night.
He asked about the old mine glass type because he had heard Cheng Zhao say that a single piece could cost around a million.
Ji Changtu continued, "500,000! That's 500,000 per gram, so that ornament must be worth at least ten million!"
Yuan Kai: "?!!"
Unlike popular celebrities like Liao Jiayue, Yuan Kai has always focused on realistic themes, and occasionally he plays the father of the lead in idol dramas.
In addition, Yuan Kai has spent money to get rid of some immature girls in recent years, so he is short of money. Otherwise, he would not have brought his child on a variety show and participated in this classmate variety show.
Yuan Kai confirmed, "That's really not it?"
If it's a rare, high-quality jadeite from an old mine worth tens of millions, then Ye Hantao's ex-fiancé should not be underestimated.
His collaboration with Cai Qiwei needs to be carefully considered.
Ji Changtu was speechless. "I've already explained it to this extent, and you still ask? The richer you are, the stingier you are. Does Ye Hantao, an unwanted ex-fiancée, deserve for someone to offer her a multi-million dollar ornament as an apology?"
"..." Ji Changtu paused strangely at this point.
He's right.
Why should the other party give Ye Hantao an apology worth tens of millions?
Yuan Kai wasn't sure if it was an old mine glass-type jadeite, but he was!
Could it be that the Ye family has some leverage over the other party?
Yuan Kai could not hear Ji Changtu's thoughts, but he agreed with Ji Changtu's statement.
Even the woman who got pregnant with his child was dealt with by him with just a few hundred thousand dollars. His ex-fiancé wasn't stupid; why would he spend millions to break off the engagement?
Offering a decorative item worth several hundred thousand as an apology is probably the limit.
Yuan Kai adjusted his facial expression in front of the mirror and called out, "Changtu, I'll go ask the production team if anyone knows how to edit it!"
Ji Changtu reluctantly agreed, saying, "Fine! I'll try to fix it again."
He had no choice but to shout.
The entire live stream audience saw him and Yuan Kai in the same bathroom.
If he doesn't come up with an excuse now, netizens might say he and Yuan Kai were having an affair in the bathroom.
There was indeed discussion in the live stream, but not about him and Yuan Kai; it was about him and Ye Hantao.
Judging from Jin Shiyue's words, is Ji Changtu interested in buying it?
[That must be a jade ornament. Ji Changtu has a jade jewelry store; he probably wants to buy one to display in his shop.]
[But why did Kinshitsuki say it was low-quality? Did he try to lower the price?]
[Jin Shiyue has always disliked him; she wouldn't even let him sit opposite her during the last episode's meal.]
[Damn it! Forget what Ye Hantao is selling to Ji Changtu, hurry up and go to Ye Hantao's live stream!]
[I was wondering why Lao Chen was alone in the bedroom. I was thinking Cheng Zhao was taking a shower in the bathroom again. (laughs while covering mouth.jpg)]
Unsuspecting viewers: "???"
What kind of riddles are you playing?!
When Ye Hantao came downstairs, she was glad that the guesthouse chosen by the production team was not big. As soon as she got to the first floor, she went straight to the kitchen with a clear goal and did not have to worry about getting lost.
As we got closer to the kitchen, the sizzling sound of oil became clearer, mixed with a rich aroma.
"Is someone making breakfast in the kitchen?" Ye Hantao quickened her pace.
A tall, imposing figure stood in front of the stove.
The other person was wearing an apron, and the straps on both sides didn't look very tight, but Ye Hantao could still tell that the person had a slender lower back.
It's Cheng Zhao.
Ye Hantao quietly tiptoed towards the kitchen, moving as gently as a cat.
Cheng Zhao was in charge of two things at the same time.
Porridge was cooking on one stove, and thin egg pancakes were being made on the other.
Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Ye Hantao slapped him on the shoulder with lightning speed and shouted in a loud voice, "Heh!"
Cheng Zhao shuddered suddenly.
Even after turning to the side and seeing that the person was Ye Hantao, the shock in his eyes had not completely disappeared.
Did I scare you?
"I was really scared."
"I slowed my pace when I saw it was you, hahaha." Ye Hantao, having successfully startled him, walked to the stove with her hands behind her back, looked down, and asked, "Are you making breakfast?"
Cheng Zhao said yes.
Both stoves were on.
Porridge was cooking on a stove, the rice grains were stewed until they were soft and tender, steamed yam was mixed in with the porridge, and pieces of tender white cod were rolling around in the bubbling porridge.
Ye Hantao looked at the stove next door, where there were egg pancakes with carrot pieces, and next to the stove were pancakes that had been cooked and decorated with mango pieces and strawberry pieces.
As they were talking, the egg pancakes were finished.
Cheng Zhao turned off the fires on both stoves at the same time.
Ye Hantao's cameraman focused the lens on the breakfast on the two stoves.
My mouth is watering!
Cheng Zhao made a pot of tomato and egg drop soup yesterday; who knew he had this skill!
[You guys are exaggerating. It's just a pot of porridge and a fried egg pancake, not a very complicated dish.]
[Cheng Zhao clearly cooks often; look how clean his stove is.]
The kitchen was small, and Ye Hantao was less than an arm's length away from Cheng Zhao.
The two were nearly 20 centimeters apart in height, and Ye Hantao slightly raised her eyes to look at him.
What time did you arrive to get this done?
"Seven o'clock, it's not too early."
"Were the ingredients swapped with the production team?"
"Yes, I exchanged it with a Fengwu Token."
Cheng Zhao guessed what Ye Hantao was thinking from her troubled expression, and a smile appeared on his face. "Apart from the discounted ones last night, the program team has provided organic fruits and vegetables for the rest of the time."
Director Wan curled his lip in the monitoring room.
He really wanted to make the guests suffer a bit more from the food, but Cheng Zhao was just too generous with his money.
In just one night, Cheng Zhao's investment was approaching that of a major investor.
Director Wan was berated by the person in charge of Liao Jiayue's father's company in the middle of the night, but he was very confident, saying, "Invest or don't, it's up to you! Five million is less than one-tenth of what the two investors have invested!"
Not only this variety show featuring his classmates, but the investment for his next variety show has also been secured.
Cheng Zhao first ladled out a bowl of yam porridge and let it cool, then rolled up the egg pancake, cut it into pieces, pushed the plate to Ye Hantao, and handed her a pair of chopsticks, "Try it."
Ye Hantao thought Cheng Zhao had asked her to help him taste the flavor.
"Mmm! Delicious!" Ye Hantao looked at Cheng Zhao again, her eyes filled with surprise and delight. "The outer skin is crispy, and the inside is soft. This is your cooking skill."
Ye Hantao gave two thumbs up, "I wish I were Nezha!"
She has three heads and six arms; she can give six thumbs up to praise Cheng Zhao's craftsmanship.
Cheng Zhao's lips never left his mouth.
"Thank you for your recognition, our food critic." Cheng Zhao suppressed his smile, said his thanks in a serious tone, and pushed the yam porridge and pancakes over as well, "Eat more if you like."
Ye Hantao refused.
"I can't eat anymore, I'm afraid I'll finish it all at once."
What's wrong with finishing it?
"There won't be any breakfast left when Sister Shiyue and the others come down."
As Ye Hantao spoke, she was calculating the Fengwu Tokens she possessed, preparing to exchange them with the production team for some ingredients to make several breakfasts. The amount Cheng Zhao made was probably enough for two people.
"No need to stay," Ye Hantao suddenly heard Cheng Zhao's reply.
He said calmly, "These three things are for you."
Ye Hantao: "???"
Ye Hantao: "!!!"
The first thing Ye Hantao did was turn her head to look, but she didn't see the camera. She forced herself to look back at the yam porridge on the table after turning halfway.
[Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Family! My classmates on that variety show have actually started a real-life couple!]
I knew these two were a perfect match!
[A perfect match, I agree to this marriage, hehe.]
[I got up early this morning to cook porridge and make egg pancakes for Ye Hantao all by myself. Wow~]
Ye Weizheng was so angry he wanted to wear an oxygen mask. "That brat from the Cheng family!"
Not to mention that he wasn't calm enough, Zhou Ti frowned deeply.
"That brat is too famous online!" Ye Weizheng thought of the topics he had browsed online last night. "He hasn't even won Tao Tao's heart yet, and there are already a bunch of his fans and CP fans comparing his family background and social status!"
If we keep investigating like this, we'll eventually expose our own misdeeds.
Thinking back to his initial impression of Cheng Zhao, Ye Weizheng really wanted to punch himself in the head a few times.
"Why didn't I tell Tao Tao beforehand!" He pointed at Cheng Zhao on the screen. "The way he gave Tao Tao when he first met her was so cold, it was like he was frozen solid!"
Zhou Mingsheng stayed in a hotel about a 30-minute drive from the guesthouse where the recording took place.
From the moment Tao Tao took the initiative to scare Cheng Zhao, he had a bad feeling.
After Cheng Zhao brazenly claimed that this was breakfast prepared for him, Zhou Mingsheng's brows furrowed with icy displeasure.
He just wants Cheng Zhao to do one thing right now: get away from Tao Tao as soon as possible!
Zhou Mingsheng finished the remaining half of his iced coffee in one gulp.
Suddenly, the style of the comments changed drastically.
It turned out that Tao Tao's fans believed Cheng Zhao had ulterior motives.
[Tsk tsk tsk, the breakfast I made for you, and upon closer inspection, it's all from the Fengwu Tokens!]
[I admire no one but you; you got something for nothing!]
[I haven't seen you being so enthusiastic before, but last night you saw Ye Hantao's jadeite worth hundreds of thousands, and you were tempted?]
Inviting people to share a late-night snack so late at night? I bet your real intentions aren't what they seem!
[You don't have to think so badly of him. Cheng Zhao probably feels he can't compete with Ye Hantao's ex-fiancé financially, so he can only start with small things.]
If Ye Hantao is really rich, finding a boyfriend who's comfortable and easy to live with wouldn't be bad.
Why not find someone who is wealthy and also practical and easy to live with? @MountainWindNoNonsense.
Zhou Mingsheng put down his cup.
Seeing Cheng Zhao being mercilessly criticized by netizens, his anger suddenly subsided by more than half.
Ye Weizheng and Zhou Ti did not expect that Cheng Zhao would be the first to be criticized.
Especially when he saw comments saying that Tao Tao's wealth was not as good as that of her ex-fiancé.
"..."
Ye Weizheng exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect so many of them to side with Tao Tao."
When the show first aired, he fought back against the negative comments in the live broadcast room, and even considered hiring thousands or tens of thousands of online trolls to flatter him.
“If Cheng Zhao had done this during the recording of the first episode, Tao Tao would probably have been the one getting scolded.” Zhou Ti kept watching Tao Tao in the live stream with a gentle look in her eyes. “Now, Tao Tao has gained fans on her own.”
Fans are unaware of their family's assets and there is no such thing as "charming rich." Some fans even believe that Tao Tao is lying because she is insecure about her family's financial situation.
They weren't blind to these "flaws," but they were drawn to Tao Tao's bigger strengths.
Ye Hantao ultimately refused to let Cheng Zhao finish his breakfast. After finishing a bowl of yam porridge, she wouldn't let Cheng Zhao have any more. "I'll show you my cooking skills too!"
After saying that, without giving Cheng Zhao another chance to speak, Ye Hantao turned around and ran to the program team to exchange for the "Fengwu Token".
The production team prepared a table full of fruits, vegetables, meat, and eggs.
Ye Hantao, relying on the large amount of Fengwu tokens she received from yesterday's perfect score on the test, exchanged almost all the ingredients she had left.
When Ye Hantao returned, she found Cheng Zhao still in the kitchen. "Why don't you go upstairs and wash up first?"
Cheng Zhao looked innocent. "I'm done washing."
When Ye Hantao saw his expression, which was completely out of character, she was suddenly reminded of the day she bumped into Cheng Zhao on his way back from a run, when Cheng Zhao also pretended to be innocent and said he had washed his hands.
The aromas of rice and eggs in the surrounding area faded, making the refreshing scent of soapberry on Cheng Zhao's T-shirt all the more noticeable.
Ye Hantao gave a dry "oh".
"Are you planning to make breakfast for the whole house?" Cheng Zhao asked, rolling up his sleeves again as Ye Hantao nodded. "I'll help you in the kitchen."
Helping out in the kitchen mainly involves washing and chopping vegetables.
Ye Hantao only likes to cook the food directly from the pot; she doesn't like to do the preliminary preparations. When Cheng Zhao offered his place, she quickly gave up her spot at the sink, saying, "Please go ahead."
Cheng Zhao also gestured towards the stove, saying, "Please, you too."
"puff."
The two of them burst out laughing.
It was early morning, and the sunlight poured down relentlessly.
When Ye Hantao and Cheng Zhao stood there, it looked like they were shooting a commercial.
To be honest, they're really pleasing to the eye.
Am I really not watching a dating reality show? (confused.jpg)
[Hahaha, we can ship couples now!]
[Waaaaah, I ship Tao Su CP!!!]
[Ye Hantao! Open your eyes! Don't be fooled by someone's shamelessness!]
This advice can also be given to Cheng Zhao.
It was his good fortune to be bewitched by Ye Hantao.
Passersby: "..."
They truly witnessed the changes in Ye Hantao's reputation along the way.
While Ye Hantao was cooking, the others finished washing up and came downstairs one after another.
Wu Xia, He Qiang, and Jin Shiyue took Cheng Zhao's job. Cheng Zhao didn't argue with them. There happened to be an empty seat next to Tao Tao, so he strode over there.
As Cheng Zhao passed by, he unexpectedly caught Yuan Kai looking at Tao Tao.
A disgusting look filled with calculation and a sizing up of everything.
"Tsk."
The click of the tongue rang out abruptly in the cramped kitchen.
The moment Yuan Kai subconsciously looked up, he suddenly saw Cheng Zhao's lips curl into a smile, but his gaze was cold and fierce, carrying a strong sense of intimidation and warning.
Yuan Kai felt a chill run down his spine as Cheng Zhao stared intently into his pale blue eyes, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He suppressed his panic and tried to look away.
Before he could make a move, Cheng Zhao mouthed silently, "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out."
"...!!"
madman!
Yuan Kai simply didn't believe Cheng Zhao would have the guts to do such a thing, but he still couldn't help feeling his legs go weak.
Coming to his senses, he became angry again, realizing he had been intimidated by a young man!
If Cheng Zhao really has that kind of guts, why doesn't he gouge out Cai Qiwei's eyes?!
It's not because they're afraid of the Cai family behind Cai Qiwei.
Seeing Yuan Kai standing motionless in front of the stove, looking as if his feet were glued to the stove, Ye Hantao felt helpless.
"Teacher Yuankai, could you please move aside? I'm about to fire."
As soon as Yuan Kai came downstairs, he kept asking her what she was doing and if she needed any help.
After she said she didn't need it, Yuan Kai still wanted to touch it, but seeing that it was about to touch the back of his hand, he simply used the scalding hot spatula to block it.
This finally calmed Yuan Kai down for a while.
