CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 613: VICIOUS VILLAIN

The target of this task is Jiang Cheng.

From birth, he never received love from anyone. As time went by, he became more and more rebellious, and after experiencing the hypocrisy and betrayal of Jiang Yi, he completely turned into a major villain who could destroy everything.

This task was initiated by himself, hoping someone would love and believe in him, hoping to peel off Jiang Yi’s hypocritical face in front of others, Merit Points 26000.

Ye Qiu chose the Level 7 Skill Light of the God of Cooking, because she believed that to win someone over, she must first win their stomach. Could Jiang Cheng resist delicious food? Especially when most dishes at home were seafood, which he was allergic to.

Whether Jiang Yi actually liked seafood or not was unknown to Ye Qiu, but whenever both of them were involved in an occasion, seafood was guaranteed, yet no one knew about Jiang Cheng’s allergy.

Since childhood, Jiang Cheng had never received affection from others. As a child, only Jiang Yi occasionally took him out to play, and he remembered this brotherly affection and thus always helped Jiang Yi with whatever he asked for as he grew older.

But what he didn’t know was that Jiang Yi actually despised him and only spoke up for him occasionally to showcase his own magnanimity and to make Jiang Hongcai disappointed with him.

Jiang Cheng naively did everything for Jiang Yi, but from childhood to adulthood, Jiang Yi was determined to ruin him, even stealing his girlfriend and career. When Jiang Cheng came wholeheartedly to support Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi dealt him a severe blow.

From then on, Jiang Cheng became corrupt, trying all means to take back everything that belonged to himself, eventually dying alongside Jiang Yi.

Ye Qiu sighed after reading the story. This Jiang Cheng was really too pitiful, spending his whole life being hurt by the person he trusted the most.

At noon, when Ye Qiu’s stomach was growling with hunger and Luo Sitian and Miaomiao hadn’t returned, Ye Qiu sent them a message but got no reply, so she simply started cooking herself, guessing that Jiang Cheng should be waking up soon.

There wasn’t much in the fridge, just a few tomatoes, a bag of greens, and some eggs. She simply made two bowls of simple tomato and egg noodles.

The golden eggs alongside the red tomatoes and the cool soup topped with some greens not only smelled aromatic but also looked very attractive.

Now at Level 7 of Light of the God of Cooking, there weren’t many who could resist her cooking. Sure enough, after waiting a moment, Jiang Cheng’s room door opened.

His hair dyed bright red, he flailed around, then Ye Qiu saw him casually scratching his head, his eyes and brows full of impatience and irritability. He looked at Ye Qiu and said nothing.

Ye Qiu’s position in this household was awkward. She had come with Luo Sitian when she remarried and was in a similar situation to Jiang Cheng, mostly ignored by Jiang Hongcai, the family patriarch. Jiang Yi probably found her too ordinary and barely spoke to her.

As for Luo Sitian, her own mother, she despised Ye Qiu even more, despised her for not being smart, not knowing how to please Jiang Hongcai, only holding her back in this household, though her sister Jiang Miaomiao would sometimes smile at Ye Qiu.

Moreover, she had almost no contact with Jiang Cheng; to be precise, she was scared. The former Ye Qiu was very afraid of Jiang Cheng, and he wasn’t willing to deal with her either. Over the years they spent under the same roof, the words they had exchanged could probably be counted on one hand.

Jiang Cheng walked downstairs, glanced at the noodles without looking at Ye Qiu, turned around, and walked into the kitchen, and after finding nothing else edible in the fridge, he slammed it shut with a "bang".

As he was about to go out, Ye Qiu spoke up, "I made two bowls, do you want to eat?"

Jiang Cheng ignored her, intending to go out to eat by himself, as it wasn’t the first time. Usually, when he woke up, there was nothing left for him to eat at home.

"My cooking skills are quite good, are you sure you don’t want to try?" Ye Qiu urged again, lifting some noodles as she spoke, which instantly made the aroma more enticing.

Jiang Cheng initially wanted to ignore her, but just then, his stomach grumbled loudly.

Ye Qiu’s mouth curved carefully into a smile; she knew no one could resist her cooking.

Jiang Cheng made a "swish" sound as he pulled out a chair. Ye Qiu frowned unconsciously, and when she looked up again, she saw him sporting a mocking smile, yet he said nothing and silently took a sip of the soup.

The moment the soup touched his mouth, his eyes brightened, and Ye Qiu felt that his aura had become less irritable.

After the soup, he hurriedly picked up the noodles and put them in his mouth. Even though they were instant noodles, he found them deliciously fragrant. Ye Qiu nodded in satisfaction and then bowed her head to eat her noodles.

Considering Jiang Cheng had come home at five in the morning today, Ye Qiu made a hearty bowl of noodles, but within a few minutes, Jiang Cheng had finished it, leaving not a single drop of soup in the bowl.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and with a heavy look towards Ye Qiu, his tone carried his usual sarcasm and impatience: "Tell me, what do you want by going through all the hassle to cook these noodles for me?"

Ye Qiu opened her mouth, thinking how much hurt he must have faced to think so complicatedly about others’ intentions?

"I didn’t want you to do anything." Ye Qiu earnestly looked at him.

But Jiang Cheng self-mockingly remarked, "That’s true, after all, I have nothing and can’t achieve anything."

He didn’t wait for Ye Qiu to respond and continued, "Since you said you don’t want anything from me, then you better not regret it later. Even if you beg me in the future, it won’t work."

Then he slammed the door and left, not giving Ye Qiu any chance to react.

Alright, she knew that people who lacked love had their defenses up; she didn’t blame him and decided to take things slowly.

After washing the dishes, Ye Qiu went back to her room. She was a child brought by Luo Sitian from a previous marriage, and being average in appearance, and not very high in IQ or EQ, naturally, she wasn’t liked by her stepfather, Jiang Hongcai. So, her room as an outsider in this household was the smallest, even a bit smaller than Jiang Cheng’s, containing only a desk, a wardrobe, and a single bed.

Opening the wardrobe, there weren’t many decent clothes inside: just T-shirts, jeans, and school uniforms. It’s the summer vacation now, and her two pairs of jeans, worn repeatedly, had been washed to the point of turning white, which were incomparable to the princess dresses costing thousands that Jiang Miaomiao wore.

The original host probably knew she was just an extra, living off others, hence she didn’t dare to ask for or demand anything, simply bearing everything silently.

Ye Qiu lay on her bed and decided to find a summer job during the vacation. The feeling of not having a penny on her was really uncomfortable, although her space was filled with countless gold and silver treasures, she did not want to use them unless absolutely necessary.

However, using the Spiritual Spring Water to nourish her somewhat unhealthy body was acceptable, including Jiang Cheng’s condition since his lifestyle had led to a worsening stomach illness. Without the care from his real father, the scheming of his real brother, the ignorance of his real sister, and the coldness from his stepmother, let her, this affordable sister, give him some warmth!
