Chapter 866: Don’t let the Ji family be humiliated
"Actually, I'm very lucky that Qinglin has a father like you." Gu Beisheng glanced at Ji Qinglin beside him. This sentence was meant to support Ji Shang. "You are sensible, respect children, and are not authoritarian at all."
"This is really rare among wealthy families, but such a rare thing happened to Qinglin. Isn't this her blessing?"
"From now on, with the two of us men protecting Qinglin, she will definitely be the happiest woman in the world."
Ji Shang sighed, thinking that this was originally an opportunity to teach Gu Beisheng a lesson.
However, Gu Beisheng's performance was so sincere that he couldn't criticize him, nor could he bear to do so.
He could notice that from the beginning until now, Ji Qinglin was worried that Gu Beisheng would be bullied. Seeing her frowning from time to time, he, as an old father, really couldn't bring himself to do anything.
Ji Shang downed his coffee in one gulp. "Bei Sheng, keep going. I'll always be watching you. If you change your mind even a little bit, I won't let you go. This is my oath as a father."
Gu Beisheng looked at Ji Shang and said firmly, "Then you won't have the chance to fulfill this oath."
Ji Shang smiled and looked at Ji Qinglin. "Little Ji, find some time to bring Bei Sheng back to our family. It's time for the other elders to see him."
"There's a chance." Ji Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that Ji Shang would be like the parents on TV, making things difficult for Gu Beisheng. But now it seems that she was overthinking it.
Her father is very open-minded and respects her.
She felt very fortunate and at ease to have such a father.
"By the way, you are also going to participate in the national cooking competition in three days, right?" Ji Shang suddenly said.
Ji Qinglin nodded.
"Well, you have to work harder then." Ji Shang frowned and said worriedly, "Xi Nian is an amazing chef. Although I've read about your previous competitions, you're still a little behind Xi Nian."
"Uncle Ji, don't worry, I will do my best." Ji Qinglin smiled confidently. "After all, I am the daughter of the Ji family now, and I cannot bring shame to the Ji family."
Ji Shang was slightly startled and looked at Ji Qinglin with some surprise. Wasn't what she said an acknowledgement of her identity as the daughter of the Ji family?
At this moment, his eyes were slightly red. Although he had not changed the way he called Uncle Ji, it was already a big step forward and he would change it sooner or later.
"How about I let Xi Nian withdraw from the competition?"
Ji Qinglin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Ji, if you do this...I will be unhappy."
Ji Shang was slightly startled, and then, thinking of Ji Qinglin's personality, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I'm just too concerned. Okay, just go for it. Win or lose, it doesn't matter."
"I'm so proud of you."
Leave the cafe.
Ji Qinglin got into the car and felt completely relaxed.
"How is it?" Gu Beisheng turned his head and smiled at her.
"What's going on?" Ji Qinglin rolled his eyes. "Shouldn't I be the one asking this?"
"Do you think I look like a nervous person?" Gu Beisheng shook his head. "But you were nervous the whole time."
Ji Qinglin pursed his lips and said depressedly, "I can't help it. Uncle Ji and I have only just met for a short time, and now I am taking you to meet his parents. It would be strange if I am not nervous."
"Do you have so little confidence in me?" Gu Beisheng was speechless. "If he's not satisfied with a man as outstanding as me, then his daughter will end up alone for the rest of her life."
