Chapter 34
Excellent Genes
Each breakfast required one point to exchange for. Jiang Huai and Bai Ling decisively used the food they had stocked up yesterday. The remaining three groups all chose to use their points. No one wanted to do rough work early in the morning.
“Who knows what the current points are? After a few rounds, I’m confused.”
“I remember everything. The highest score now is 6 points for the Bai Ling group. Lu Ting got 5 points and overtook everyone in one go. The second is Zhou Yan’s group. They completed the 4-point group photo mission yesterday and exchanged for two breakfasts today. They still have 5 points left. Next is 4 points for Jiang Huai’s group. Tan Si and Yuan Jing didn’t complete the missions and still exchanged for breakfast. They have 3 points and 0 points respectively.”
“The scores are very tight. Today is the final battle. I’m looking forward to it!”
While they were eating breakfast, a plane flew from the other side of the ocean to the airport in Sea City.
Si Cheng got off the plane and started making arrangements. “Ning Gang, get someone to change the child’s surname back to Si.”
Ning Gang was stunned for a moment. “Miss Tan Si’s child is registered?”
Si Cheng stopped in his tracks and rolled his eyes at Ning Gang. “I mean Tan Ming.”
Ning Gang was a little surprised that Tan Ming had changed the child’s surname. He was even more surprised since Si Cheng had instructed him to force Tan Ming to get an abortion. Why were they fighting now?
Although Ning Gang had thought about it a lot, he did not show much emotion on his face. He answered professionally, “Okay.”
Ning Gang had already planned the route to the island yesterday. When the two of them left the airport, they saw the car that Ning Gang had arranged. It was just in time for rush hour, and the traffic was congested. Si Cheng lowered his head and looked at his watch a few times.
It wasn’t easy for them to manage to reach the dock at ten o’clock. Si Cheng looked at the small fishing boat that was filled with the smell of fish in front of him and frowned as he turned to look at Ning Gang.
Ning Gang looked helpless. “You only told me yesterday, it was too rushed. I only found this ship that’s willing to charter us for a day. We can go back at any time.”
Just as Si Cheng was about to retreat and wait for Tan Ming to finish recording the show before settling the score with her, Ning Gang received a call.
Ning Gang hung up the phone with a puzzled look on his face. “President Si, the person who went to handle the matter just now said that the Sea City Police Department is now strictly investigating all kinds of loopholes in the procedure, so the change of name now requires both parents to be present to sign and complete the procedures before it can be accepted, and…”
Si Cheng covered his nose and tried to resist the salty fishy smell from the fishing boat. He looked at Ning Gang and asked impatiently, “And what?”
Ning Gang looked at Si Cheng and replied, “And Tan Ming registered the surname of the two children as Jiang.”
Si Cheng’s head was full of question marks, but he quickly thought of something. With a livid expression, he stepped onto the fishing boat and shouted sternly, “Set sail!”
Ning Gang hurriedly followed. Si Cheng turned on his phone and entered Jiang Huai’s live-stream, which was something he had done often. He stared fixedly at the two people who were doing a mission together. The screen was filled with subtitles from the audience saying that the two of them were a good match.
“As Brother Huai’s 10-year-old fan, this is the first time I’ve seen him so considerate to a girl.”
“Brother Huai’s previous behavior almost made me think that he was afraid of women. Now, it seems like he didn’t meet the right person. If the two of them didn’t know each other in private, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death. I’ll bet my ex-boyfriend’s life!”
“Indeed, Brother Huai isn’t the kind of person who can get familiar with you after meeting you a few times only. This level of intimacy… I’ll bet the lives of my two ex-boyfriends.”
Currently, on the island, it was the time for the pottery competition. The production team had hired a potter to bring a team and equipment to the island to teach.
Tan Ming and Jiang Huai were preparing to make a small watering can. The Jiang family’s villa in Jingdu City had a glass greenhouse. Li Mei had planted some flowers that she liked. The siblings wanted to give this watering can to their mother.
The two of them worked together to mold the clay, but they still planned to decorate it. In the end, they chose a simple smiley face and began to draw.
When Si Cheng turned on the live-stream, he saw the two of them standing together as they glazed their project.
When Jiang Huai saw that Tan Ming’s face was accidentally stained with colored glaze, he was worried that it wouldn’t be easy to wash it after a long time. He hurriedly used a wet tissue to wipe her face and said helplessly, “Look at you. It’s all over your face, you little cat.”
Naturally, the two parties involved would not think too much about biological siblings helping the other wipe their face. However, this scene made the fans and audience go crazy.
“If you’re good-looking, you have to find someone good-looking too! If Brother Huai insists on getting married, she has to at least be as good-looking as An’an. If she’s not good-looking enough, it’ll be a waste of Brother Huai’s excellent genes!”
