Chapter 320 Bottom Line (30)
Just then, Ji Xiao also changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
The sun was pouring down into the living room, as if covering the whole living room with a layer of golden gauze. Ji Xiao was standing there in a violet new Chinese-style dress, showing her elegance.
At the same time, she was holding an exquisite pearl bag in her hand and had a forest-style side braid dotted with pearls of different sizes. It swayed gently with her steps, and sparkled with a warm luster under the sunlight.
She wore a pair of three-bead earrings of the same size on her ears, which added a touch of elegance and agility.
Ji Xiao walked lightly to Keli's side and asked softly, "Keli, have you finished your homework?"
Keli shook her head and answered truthfully, "Not yet."
Ji Xiao smiled slightly and said gently: "Okay, then take your schoolbag with you."
Then, she turned to Sister Wang and instructed, "Sister Wang, we won't be eating at home at noon, so just make your own portion. I'll take Keli out to eat."
Sister Wang smiled and replied, "Yes, ma'am."
After everything was arranged, Ji Xiao took Keli's hand and said softly, "Keli, let's go."
After saying that, she picked up the car keys, took Keli to the garage, walked to the car, opened the door, and sat elegantly in the driver's seat. At the same time, she also arranged for Keli to sit in the back seat.
The engine started to roar, and the car slowly drove out of the garage. About half an hour later, Ji Xiao stopped the car steadily.
Then he smiled and said to Keli: "Get off the car, we are here."
"Okay, little sister." Keli responded crisply, then she put on her schoolbag with a neat movement, opened the car door and got out. After getting off the car, Ji Xiao took Keli into the store. As soon as they entered the store, the waiter standing at the door spotted Ji Xiao with sharp eyes, and she hurriedly greeted her and said, "Boss, Miss Song is here."
"Well, let the kitchen prepare some snacks suitable for children and send them up. We will have lunch in the store at noon." Ji Xiao said as she walked inside.
"Okay." The waiter responded, then trotted to the kitchen to convey the instructions.
In the private room upstairs, Ji Xiao led Ke Li and walked in. Song Feifei, who was sitting with her back to the door, heard the noise and turned around. When she saw Ke Li following Ji Xiao, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Xiao, whose child is this you brought?"
"This is Master Yian's child, Keli, come on and call her Sister Feifei." Ji Xiao touched Keli's little head and said to her softly.
"Hello Sister Feifei, my name is Fang Keli." Keli called people very obediently, and her big round eyes looked particularly cute.
"Oh, you're so good and cute. Come and sit over here." Song Feifei was touched by Keli's cuteness. She waved at Keli with a smile on her face, asking her to sit over and next to her.
Fang Keli, who had been very quiet since entering the store, listened to Song Feifei's words, raised her eyes and glanced at Ji Xiao, as if asking for her opinion.
Seeing Ji Xiao nodded, Keli walked over with her short legs to the seat next to Song Feifei and sat down.
"It's okay, go ahead, do your homework first. If you encounter any problems you don't know how to solve, you can ask your sister Feifei for help. I'll go take care of the work."
Fang Keli nodded obediently and replied, "Okay."
Then, Ji Xiao turned to Fang Fei and said, "Fei Fei, thank you for your help."
Song Feifei smiled and replied, "It's okay, go ahead and don't worry, I'll be watching over you."
Ji Xiao picked up the handbag next to the sofa and walked towards the desk in the corner of the room. She gently pulled out the chair, then sat down steadily and began to carefully check the account books for the recent period.
At the same time, Fang Keli walked to the window with light steps and sat down opposite Song Feifei. Then, she obediently took out her homework book from her schoolbag and began to complete her homework seriously.
During this time, except for the waiter who gently pushed open the door and walked into the room to serve tea and snacks, the three people in the room were focused on the things at hand.
Time passed quietly, and when Ji Xiao finally finished her work, the clock had already pointed to noon. She reached out and gently pulled the bell on the door, and the crisp sound of the bell echoed in the air.
Then Ji Xiao stood up, walked slowly to the table where Song Feifei and the others were sitting, and sat down.
Ji Xiao stretched out her hand, picked up the warm water that Song Feifei had poured for her in advance, took two sips, and let the warm water moisturize her dry lips.
Then, she turned her gaze to Fang Keli who was concentrating on drawing, and asked softly, "Keli, have you finished your homework?"
Fang Keli raised her head, showed a lovely smile, and replied: "It's done, little sister."
"That's fine. Put away your books and eat right away."
"Ok."
After the three of them had lunch, Ji Xiao let Keli go out to play by herself, but told her not to step out of the store. Then she and Song Feifei chatted about each other's recent situation.
"Feifei, how are you doing lately?"
"Well, that's it." Song Feifei sighed and said, "He already has a fiancée, and I'm not the kind of person who would pester him."
"Did he tell you that himself?"
"No way!" Song Feifei said helplessly, "No one told me at all. Instead, his fiancée came to warn me and told me to stay away from him, otherwise I would not be able to stay in the TV station. What can I do? I can only do as they wish."
"Then why didn't you call him and ask for clarification?"
"Of course I called!" Song Feifei said angrily, "But no one answered. No one responded to my text messages or chat messages. I went to his workplace to look for him but he wasn't there."
"Okay, if that's the case, then forget it." Ji Xiao comforted him, "Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are plenty! Let's look for it slowly, and we'll always find the right one."
"That's right!" Song Feifei also comforted herself: "Fortunately, nothing has happened between him and me, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss!"
After saying that, Song Feifei drank some warm water to moisten her mouth and continued, "Let's not talk about these bad things. Have you been feeling unwell recently?"
"No, I'm fine. I've been sleeping a little longer, but I can eat and drink. I'm doing great."
The two chatted animatedly, as if they had endless topics to talk about. Time passed by minute by minute, and before they knew it, a long time had passed.
At this time, Ji Xiao suddenly checked the time and found that Zhou Yian and the others were about to get off work. So she quickly took out her phone and sent him a message, telling him that she and Ke Li were at Tingyu Pavilion, and asked him to bring Fang Yuan to pick them up after get off work.
At this moment, Fang Keli, who was sleeping quietly on the sofa beside her, slowly opened her eyes. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked drowsily, "Little sister, has my dad come to pick me up?"
"Your dad hasn't gotten off work yet, little cutie. Now that you're awake, come over and have some fruit snacks to fill your stomach first." Ji Xiao replied gently.
"Okay." Fang Keli responded, then put on her shoes quickly and walked towards Ji Xiao and the others with Lang Cang's steps.
After she sat down in her seat, Ji Xiao poured a cup of warm water, handed it to her, and said softly, "Come, drink some water." "Thank you, sister." Fang Keli politely took the cup and drank it in small sips.
Looking at her well-behaved and lovely appearance, Ji Xiao couldn't help but feel a surge of pity in her heart. When parents quarrel, the children who are caught in the middle are always the ones who feel uncomfortable.
The three of them waited in the store for a while, until the sun slowly set and the afterglow spread across the earth, only then did Zhou Yian and Fang Yuan finally arrive.
As soon as Keli saw Fang Yuan, she excitedly shouted, "Dad!"
Fang Yuan caressed his daughter's head lovingly and asked softly, "Did Keli listen to her sister?"
Keli nodded obediently and replied in a baby voice: "Yeah~"
While Fang Yuan was talking intimately with his daughter, Zhou Yian had already walked over to sit next to Ji Xiao, and the two of them lowered their voices and whispered. After a while, Fang Yuan led Fang Keli to Ji Xiao and the others, and said gratefully: "Xiao Xiao, today it's really thanks to you for helping to take care of the children."
Ji Xiao smiled gently and responded, "Master Yi An, you are too polite. Keli is very well behaved and obedient."
Then, Zhou Yian invited enthusiastically: "Master, please come and sit down. You can go home after dinner."
"Do not……"
Fang Yuan was about to refuse, but Zhou Yian interrupted him and said jokingly, "Master, it doesn't matter if you are hungry, but the child is still young, how can he wait for you to come home and cook for him on an empty stomach? Besides, your cooking skills... hey, are you sure the food you cook is edible?"
Fang Yuan's face flashed with embarrassment, and after hesitating for a moment, he still sat down. After all, he knew in his heart that his cooking skills were really not up to par.
After the meal, everyone waved goodbye and went home.
