Ji Fanchen said he was going to cut grass with Little Gray. Chu Zhian offered to help.
In the blink of an eye, everyone had left.
Only Huo Ci, Yu Bei, and Jiang Yi were left.
Yu Bei and Jiang Yi had deliberately stayed to watch Ling Sheng wash the dishes, feeling immensely good!
When Huo Ci stood up, Ling Sheng happened to bend down to clean up the table. When she brushed past him, he smiled. âYouâre too naive to try to con me!â
Ling Shengâs evil smile widened. âSenior Huo, did you say you wanted to wash the dishes for me? Thatâs too nice of you!â
Huo Ci smiled. âDid you hear wrong? I said that I will get you to wash the dishes properly.â
Ling Sheng bit her lips. How could he act in such an unexpected manner?
Normally, one would be too embarrassed to deny this!
He was indeed her biological father!
Awesome!
She had admitted defeat!
Yu Bei and Jiang Yi were big men. How could they allow her to wash the dishes alone? There were dozens of bowls and plates in total, and if one added the pot, the workload was huge. The water also had to be carried up from the well.
Initially, Yu Bei wanted to see if Huo Ci would help her. However, Movie King Huo had no intention of helping her, so he could only drag Jiang Yi over to help her.
Ling Sheng looked grateful. âThank you both. You two are really good people.â
Yu Bei thought, Look at how well sheâs acting.
Jiang Yi thought, Thatâs more like it.
The three of them washed the dishes. The children living next door came to find them after dinner every day. They watched them wash the dishes and listened to Ling Sheng tell them stories.
After Ling Sheng finished a story, she looked at Yu Bei. âLetâs have a competition!â
Yu Bei asked, âWhat kind of competition?â
Ling Sheng said, âJust a singing competition. Let the three children be the judges. Whoever sings the best wonât wash the dishes.â
Yu Bei asked, âWhy should we compete?â
Ling Sheng said, âI knew you wouldnât dare to compete.â
Yu Beiâs temper could not be controlled. âLetâs compete. Whoâs afraid of who?â
Jiang Yi, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded. This girl was really clever. His hands were covered in oil, so he couldnât stop that fool Yu Bei. All he could do was watch the duo compete.
Ling Sheng went first, her clear voice singing a cheerful song. The melody was very nice, and the prelude was very ear-catching. The lyrics were also well-written.
When Jiang Yi heard half of it, he realized that she was singing Su Yiâs new song, which was called âSimplicityâ. She had composed her own song half a year ago. Unfortunately, her popularity was low, so no one knew that she had produced a new song.
He was moved. This girl had a vulgar mouth, but she was actually nice and kind-hearted. She was helping Su Yi advertise!
âIs it nice?â Ling Sheng asked them with a smile after she finished singing.
The judges were two boys and one girl. The youngest was five years old, while the eldest was nine years old. He would come over to play with Ling Sheng and the rest every day. This childâs mind was the purest, so he nodded his head hurriedly. âIt sounded nice.â
Yu Bei had to admit that her voice was not bad. Just her natural voice was comparable to beautiful live-streamers who used auto-tuning hardware that cost millions. However, he could not admit defeat and thus sang a song.
Ling Sheng asked the child, âDo you think this elder brother sings well, or does this elder sister sing better? Those who believe the elder brother sings well shall stand in line in front of him, and those who support this sister shall stand in front of me.â
The moment she finished speaking, the children stood in front of Ling Sheng and smiled at her. âWe support you, Sister.â
âGreat! I will get you some candy. Letâs go.â Ling Sheng jumped up excitedly and told Yu Bei, âWash the dishes properly!â
When Yu Bei saw her leave, he looked at the bowl in his hand in a daze. Only then did he realize that he had been conned. He was so angry that he stuttered. âShe... She... She... She lost. She should be the one washing the dishes. Why... Why did she leave? I... Iâm staying to wash the dishes?â
