"No need, I'll start here, your Uncle Cheng will hurry up."
Fang Qiu understood her daughter's good intentions, but she didn't want to go out and face Mrs. Cheng at all, so she didn't have a good look on her. She might as well stay in the kitchen and work. At least Cheng Zhouhua had a good attitude towards her these two days.
Cheng Xi thought for a moment and rolled up his sleeves, "Then let me help you."
"No, there can't be so many people in the kitchen," Cheng Zhouhua persuaded, "Fang Qiu, please accompany Cheng Xi, don't tire yourself."
"No, Uncle Cheng, I'll accompany you in the kitchen as well. If I go out, grandma will cause trouble for my mother again." Cheng Xi said lightly.
Cheng Zhouhua choked again, "Don't mind, your grandma has injured her leg and is in a bad mood."
Cheng Xi smiled and said nothing.
She stayed here so that she could watch Cheng Zhouhua tampering with the food.
...
7 p.m.
The meal is ready.
Cheng Wang also came over to help with the dishes and chopsticks.
When the meal started, Cheng Wang brought a pot of squeezed fresh corn juice and poured a cup for each person.
Cheng Xi lowered her head to look at her phone, but secretly observed Cheng Wang. She saw that after he poured a cup for Fang Qiu next to him, when he came to her, he suddenly said that there was no cup left, and turned around to get a disposable cup.
After a while, Cheng Wang poured a glass and put it in front of her, and said with a smile: "Sister Cheng Xi, the corn juice is delicious."
"Thanks."
After Cheng Xi finished speaking, she noticed that Cheng Bowen and Cheng Zhouhua both glanced at her cup calmly.
She quickly lowered her eyes.
During meal time, Cheng Wang kept standing up and shouting cheers.
Cheng Xi picks it up and sips it casually every time.
Cheng Zhouhua suddenly said: "Xixi, you haven't touched the corn juice at all. Do you not like drinking it? Do you want a drink..."
"No, I'll drink corn juice after eating."
Cheng Xi was now very sure that there was definitely something wrong with the corn juice.
Cheng Zhouhua was relieved when he heard what she said. He thought she was suspicious, but it was impossible for her to doubt it. Their plan was perfect, and Cheng Xi never expected that he would do such a cruel thing.
Halfway through the meal, there was a "boom" sound, and all the electricity in the house suddenly went out.
"What's going on?" Cheng Zhouhua was slightly annoyed.
"Did you not pay the electricity bill?"
"I paid it. I only paid over 10,000 yuan a few days ago." Cheng Zhouhua said angrily.
Cheng Wang comforted, "Don't worry, I'll see if the circuit breaker has tripped."
Taking advantage of the darkness, Cheng Xi quickly poured a drink into a potted plant on the side, then quickly picked up Fang Qiu's cup next to him and poured half a cup for himself.
"It's really tripped." Cheng Wang pushed up the switch, and the room suddenly lit up again.
"Why did it trip when it was so good?" Cheng Zhouhua complained, "Is it because the circuit was not fixed during the kitchen renovation?"
"possible."
Cheng Xi lowered his head and took a sip of corn juice.
The corners of her lips were slightly raised. No one would know that the switch tripped because she turned on several heaters in the utility room.
After living in this villa for several years, she knew very well that when the villa was renovated, the circuit was not done well. Once the two heaters and the central air conditioner were turned on, they would definitely trip, and the central air conditioner was originally turned on in the villa.
A sudden power outage was her chance to change the situation.
Next it’s time for the show to begin.
