Chapter 177: Chapter 177: You Annoy Me Just By Being Here
“What?! I’m actually the last?!”
After the scores were announced, Wen Jiaojiao’s roar immediately pierced through the entire yard.
She slapped the table in disbelief.
“Why am I the last? Even if what I made wasn’t tasty, it’s still better than Jiang Yan’s vegetables soaked in saltwater, right?!”
Jiang Yan had already burst into laughter, holding his stomach.
“But the fact is, your stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, which took you a lot of effort to make, got a lower score than my saltwater vegetables.”
Even though he had only scored one point more than Wen Jiaojiao.
At least he didn’t have to be the last.
“Director, I want to request a review. Why did I only get a total of 9 points?!” Wen Jiaojiao relentlessly pursued Director Sun.
It wasn’t surprising she cared so much.
After all, she had put effort into that dish, even Jiang Li had praised her during the meal, but she still ended up last in the scoring.
How could she swallow that result?
[Wen Jiaojiao’s got Princess Disease again, hasn’t she? It’s just a result, why care so much and keep pestering Director Sun, it’s truly annoying.]
[Our Princess finally made a dish, what’s wrong with caring about the result, Blackie get lost!]
[Although, I also think the result is a bit outrageous, wasn’t Wen Jiaojiao’s dish the first to be finished? I thought she would score the highest.]
Director Sun, having no choice after being hounded, eventually showed her the score sheets of Shang Shaojing and Su Yinwan.
Shang Shaojing gave her a relatively normal score, the top score of 8.
But Su Yinwan was a completely different story.
Seeing the glaring “1” in the column for the dish she made, Wen Jiaojiao scoffed and shot a resentful glance at Su Yinwan.
“Su Yinwan, if you have a problem with me, just say it, there’s no need to play games like this.”
Su Yinwan’s face choked up, turning paler for a moment.
She had not expected that the tomato and egg dish was made by Wen Jiaojiao.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ever given such a low score.
Wen Jiaojiao’s father was a well-known producer and investor in the entertainment industry, and her purpose in coming here was to forge a good relationship with her to take on Jiang Li together.
Who would have known…
At this point, she could only try to make amends.
Su Yinwan bit her lip, then immediately stepped forward and took Wen Jiaojiao’s hand.
“I’m sorry, Jiaojiao, I didn’t know the dish was yours. The reason I gave a low score is because I have an allergy to eggs, I don’t dare to eat much, so that’s why…”
Despite Su Yinwan’s noble-sounding excuse, Wen Jiaojiao was not buying it at all.
She instinctively wanted to shake off the hand, but just couldn’t.
She thought about asking Jiang Li for help, but when she turned her head, Jiang Li had already turned his back and entered the kitchen.
Wen Jiaojiao felt even more upset.
What the heck, that woman was just praising her cooking skills a second ago, and the next she’s ignoring her, indifferent to seeing her tangled up with another woman.
Too cold-blooded!
Thinking this, Wen Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and mustered all her strength to fling Su Yinwan off.
The courtyard, slippery from the rain, caused Su Yinwan to fall backward from the shove.
Fortunately, Shang Shaojing was there in time to catch her.
“Are you okay?”
Su Yinwan shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Then she looked at Wen Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao, I know you’re really angry, but I really didn’t mean to give you a low score.”
The viewers in the live broadcast weren’t happy with this scene.
[Wen Jiaojiao is too much, the segment was meant to be anonymous, the two guest judges didn’t know which dish was made by whom, why is she clinging to Su Yin so much?]
Exactly, Wenwan was innocent from the start. Everyone has different tastes, who decided that the dish she made had to take first place?
Ms. Wen is really as domineering as ever, now I’ve truly seen it for myself.
As the voices of condemnation grew louder, Wen Jiaojiao’s dissatisfaction with the scoring results also climbed the trending searches.
It was with great difficulty that she had gained a wave of fans in the last few days by relying on her tsundere traits, only to be successfully blackened again.
Wen Jiaojiao was fuming with nowhere to vent.
“Damn it, don’t act all wronged, making it seem like I did something to you!”
Shang Shaojing frowned and pulled Su Yinwan behind him.
“Even if you’re unsatisfied with the scoring, Ms. Wen, there’s no need to push people, is there?”
Wen Jiaojiao stamped her foot, “It was her who kept on holding me and wouldn’t let go!”
[Damn, damn, what’s going on? They’re fighting again so soon?]
[This is so exciting, I don’t even want to go to the toilet anymore, keep it coming.]
In the small courtyard, the two sides argued their points loudly.
The fans in the live stream were relentless, too.
When Jiang Li came out of the kitchen, this was the scene she encountered.
Shu Yan and Jiang Yan were off to the side munching on seeds, occasionally fanning the flames a bit.
He Yun wanted to intervene to stop them, but after several attempts, she couldn’t get a word in.
Although Director Sun was intent on dissuading them, he was helpless. Upon seeing her come out, he could only keep shooting her meaningful glances.
Jiang Li sighed with a bit of a headache and then stepped forward.
Seeing her approach, Wen Jiaojiao’s sense of injury intensified, insisting that she weigh in.
Jiang Li didn’t speak, but simply took her hand.
“Why is your wrist so red? Does it hurt?”
Wen Jiaojiao had been too focused on her argument to notice her hand, which Su Yinwan had pinched red. It was only now that she remembered it.
“It hurts, it really hurts.”
Wen Jiaojiao’s camera operator knew how to seize the moment and immediately aimed the camera at her.
Though she had turned quite tan from being under the sun these past few days, she was after all a pampered young lady. Just now, being gripped so forcefully by Su Yinwan, several distinct red marks had immediately appeared on the back of her hand.
The people in the live stream could finally see it clearly now.
[Oh my, I thought Su Yinwan was just normally holding the Princess’s hand, I didn’t realize she was applying so much force. No wonder the Princess pushed her.]
[Su Yinwan looks so gentle and weak; how can she be so strong? Could it be deliberate?]
[Help, I thought Su Yinwan was the pitiable one just now, but now it seems the Princess is the most pitiable one. Not only did she get unfairly low scores, but she got pinched like this and then falsely accused of pushing someone.]
[What’s with Shang Shaojing and Su Yinwan, are they deliberately causing trouble?]
With her actions exposed, Su Yinwan could only hurriedly come out to apologize.
“Right, sorry Jiaojiao, I was too nervous just now and might not have been aware of the strength in my hand. It’s my fault. Are you okay?”
“Heh, I’m okay?” Wen Jiaojiao looked at her coldly, “Then stretch out your hand and let me pinch it a bit?”
“I…”
Stepping forward, Shang Shaojing protected her behind him, “Ms. Wen, don’t go too far.”
Wen Jiaojiao wanted to argue some more, but her palm was suddenly enveloped by a sensation of cool warmth.
Looking down, she saw a vivid sweet potato flower added to her view.
Her gaze shifted slightly and she noticed the calm and collected Jiang Li beside her.
This flower… was it specially carved for her?!
So that’s what she went into the kitchen to do!
In an instant, all of Wen Jiaojiao’s anger dissipated; she carefully cradled the sweet potato flower and glared at Su Yinwan, who was hiding behind Shang Shaojing.
“Humph, I’m magnanimous enough to not hold grudges against the petty, I forgive you. Next time, stay away from me, I get annoyed just by seeing you.”
What do you think?
