Chapter 149: I am your biological one
At 12:13, Ms. Qin returned home, looked at the dishes she had bought and the cooked meal, nodded in satisfaction, and rarely offered Cen Jin a look of approval. Cen Jin smiled, feeling a bit unworthy of Ms. Qin’s sudden praise, and was about to find an excuse to go upstairs when Ms. Qin directly called her over, dragging her into the kitchen to help.
Under Ms. Qin’s authority, Cen Jin reluctantly conceded, but the help she could provide was limited to washing vegetables and handing things over. Ms. Qin couldn’t even bear to watch her cut vegetables, correcting and demonstrating several times, all the while mumbling, "What will you do if you get married? You can’t do anything, and you’ll embarrass me when you join your in-laws."
After hearing this, Cen Jin seemed to understand Ms. Qin’s intention behind ordering her to do housework these days, and her little face immediately looked utterly hopeless.
However, the most housework she had done at home since childhood was sweeping and mopping the floor and washing dishes. As for laundry, she’d throw her clothes into the laundry basket after showering. Sometimes she was so busy going out early and coming back late that she didn’t have time. On weekends, she liked to sleep in, and every time she got up, Ms. Qin had already hung the clothes out to dry, leaving her no chance to do it herself.
During dinner, Cen Jin deliberately gave Ms. Qin a piece of chicken, smiling as she said, "Ms. Qin, you’ve worked hard, have some more."
Ms. Qin looked at the chicken in her bowl, laughed, and mockingly glanced at her: "Don’t give me that, did you skip breakfast?"
"Uh... hehe." Cen Jin laughed sheepishly, picked up her bowl and took a bite of rice. She had slept until ten, and after washing up, she had been cleaning. After finishing a call with Jiang Baizhou, she went out to buy groceries. Where would she have time for breakfast?
"So, tell me! What time did you get up today?" Ms. Qin asked, deliberately looking at the floor, which was indeed quite clean, indicating it had been mopped at least twice. She asked as if she had seen through everything.
Cen Jin knew that Ms. Qin would ask this question, so she ambiguously replied, "Well... really early! Didn’t you see I cleaned both downstairs and upstairs? That takes a lot of time, okay? Can’t you tell how early I got up?"
