Chapter 453: Drawing a Big Pie
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hearing the sound, Li Xu, who had rushed over, stopped in her tracks.
Why did it feel like her daughter was scolding her as well?
“I’m your Brother. How can you scold me?” Ji Zi’ang said confidently, “Besides, 1 heard from Mother…”
Before he could finish, Li Xu pushed open the door and entered, “What’s wrong with you two? What’s all the fuss about? Ji Zi’ang, why aren’t you going back to school? What are you doing here?”
“Mom, didn’t you say…” he tried to explain.
“Your Big Brother is waiting. Hurry up and go. Don’t be late.” Li Xu guiltily interrupted him again and pulled his arm out.
Ji Zi’ang was stunned as she pulled him to the door.
Just as Ji Zi’ang was about to speak, Li Xu lowered her voice, “1’11 settle the score with you tonight for eavesdropping. Don’t tell Yuanyuan that your father and I guessed she was dating online, understand?”
“Yes.” Ji Zi’ang nodded, feeling wronged. “I understand.”
When Li Xu saw him like this, he truly looks a little pitiful. She paused for a moment and drew a big picture for him, “Be obedient. When you turn eighteen, 1’11 send you to get your driver’s license.”
A big pie that could only be realized in two years successfully made Ji Zi’ang happy, “Really? Then don’t go back on your word!”
Li Xu nodded, “Yes, yes. Go to class quickly. Zixuan, it’s time to go to school, go with your brother.”
Ji Zixuan walked out of the room.
After sending the brothers out, Li Xu ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes with a guilty conscience.
How should she tell Yuanyuan about this?
Since the matter had already been exposed, she had to make it clear.
A moment later, she came back to her senses and quickly put down the bowls in her hands. She wiped her hands on her apron and tiptoed to the master bedroom.
When she reached the door of the master bedroom, she stood still for a long time, quietly listening to the movements inside.
Other than the sound of typing on the keyboard, there was no other sound.
Li Xu thought for a moment, then pushed the door open and went in.
Ji Yuanyuan only reacted when she heard the door being pushed open. She calmly touched the mouse beside her and switched the screen to a web page.
Although Ji Yuanyuan appeared very calm, in Li Xu’s eyes, it was no different from having a guilty conscience.
Li Xu turned around and went to the dining room.
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief and was about to continue. He heard Li Xu’s footsteps coming over again.
A moment later, Li Xu pushed the door open and entered.
Under Ji Yuanyuan’s astonished gaze, Li Xu carried the dining room chair into the bedroom and sat down beside Ji Yuanyuan.
Her expression was serious, “Ji Yuanyuan, let’s talk!”
Li Xu rarely called her by her full name. Ji Yuanyuan shivered and sat upright, “Mom, please speak!”
“What were you arguing about with your brother just now?” Li Xu asked.
“Nothing much,” Ji Yuanyuan said calmly, “We just had a quarrel.”
“Then what were you doing just now? Who are you chatting with?” Li Xu asked straightforwardly.
Ji Yuanyuan blinked, “1 haven’t even logged in to the chat software. What’s there to chat about?”
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan’s sincere expression, Li Xu started to hesitate.
It seemed like she really wasn’t lying!
But if she wasn’t chatting, why did her daughter switch the computer screen when she came in just now?
“Ji Yuanyuan, I’m your mother. 1 know you best. You can’t lie to me. Who are you talking to? Tell me honestly.” Li Xu deliberately lied to her.
Ji Yuanyuan still said the same thing, “I really don’t have it. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look. 1 haven’t even logged into QQ.”
Li Xu took a look and her expression turned cold, “Isn’t it still there?”
Ji Yuanyuan opened the profile picture, “This is Second Brother’s. He forgot to log out just now.”
Li Xu frowned and looked at Ji Yuanyuan, not knowing what to say.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed and decided not to tease her, “Mom, are you suspecting that I’m dating online?”
Even though Second Brother didn’t finish his sentence just now, she roughly understood.
Her parents probably suspected she was dating online, so her Second Brother accidentally overheard their discussion.
“Then tell me, what’s wrong with you recently?” Li Xu asked.
“What’s wrong with me?” Ji Yuanyuan was a little suspicious.
“Don’t you realize it yourself? You often smiled foolishly at the computer and typed a bunch of words. Since you’re not chatting, what are you doing?”
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated and did not speak for a moment.
Li Xu looked at her expression and her expression became even more serious, “What can’t you tell me?”
Ji Yuanyuan sighed. Thinking that her mother was concerned about her, she reached out to hold the mouse and quickly opened a document, “Here, I’m writing this!”
Li Xu curiously leaned forward and squinted at the document on the computer screen.
After reading more than ten lines, Ji Yuanyuan became anxious and quickly switched the document away.
“It’s enough that you know what it is. Why are you looking at it so carefully?”
“You wrote this?” Li Xu asked in surprise.
“Yes, I wrote it.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “However, I’m just starting. Please don’t tell others.”
Li Xu knew that Ji Yuanyuan was not chatting with a man and was relieved.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell them. This is our little secret.”
“Are you relieved now?” Ji Yuanyuan smiled.
Li Xu paused for a moment and stiffly changed the topic, “You like to write? Do you want to study liberal arts?”
It was good for a girl to work like this. She didn’t have to go to work every day. She could write at home and accompany her.
In a short period of time, Li Xu had already thought of more than ten years later.
Anyway, her shop could make money, and her two brothers were also very outstanding, not to mention Mucheng.
Therefore, it didn’t matter whether Yuanyuan earned money or not in the future.
She just had to do what she liked.
After the end of the first year of high school, they would be divided into classes. When the time came, Yuanyuan would study liberal arts…
“I don’t want to study liberal arts! 1 want to study science.” Ji Yuanyuan shook her head.
“I had nothing better to do, so I wrote it randomly. I still want to study science. There are more majors to choose from in the future.”
Ji Zixuan was going to take his college entrance examination next year, so Li Xu had some understanding of this.
Science students indeed had more choices than liberal arts students when choosing a university.
Her daughter was still very resourceful. Li Xu was relieved, “It’s fine. You’ll only be separated into arts and sciences at the end of your first year of high school anyway. You still have a year.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
Li Xu was about to say something when a video call invitation popped up on Ji Zi’ang’s QQ. It was from Qin Mucheng!
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and recalled what Ji Ziang had said earlier, “I’ve already told Brother Mucheng about you.
At the thought of this, Ji Yuanyuan held her head in pain.
Seeing this, Li Xu stood up awkwardly, “Alright, go ahead. 1 won’t disturb you anymore. What fruit do you want to eat? I’ll wash it for you..”
