Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
Chapter 226: Character Issues
"Fei Xiaomo’s face looks so naturally pure." A spectator heard their conversation and laughed.
"Of course, we research minor cosmetic adjustments often; you can tell at a glance if someone has had work done. Xiao Fei is truly a natural beauty."
"Earlier, when Xiao Fei didn’t show her face, Shi Jiumei’s fans kept saying that Xiao Fei was ugly, praising Shi Jiumei as if nobody could be better-looking than her. I wonder if they’re feeling humiliated now."
"I’m not a fan, but indeed Fei Xiaomo looks better." She could even compete with celebrities!
"Hey, Xiao Fei’s shown her face; now let’s see Shi Jiumei brag. It’s satisfying!"
"Now, whoever’s ugly will truly be embarrassed."
Shi Jiumei didn’t expect that forcing the issue would actually lead to Ye Fei taking off her mask!
"Are you satisfied now?" Ye Fei said coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm.
Even though she had made the choice herself, wasn’t it different from being forced into it by Shi Jiumei?
Sure, she would have to show her face sooner or later and couldn’t hide forever.
But if she had chosen to reveal it herself, she could have picked a more suitable moment.
And not like this, being hurried along by Shi Jiumei.
Ye Fei looked at Shi Jiumei coldly, not hiding her disgust at all.
Yet, no one thought there was anything wrong with Ye Fei’s attitude.
Being pressured by Shi Jiumei constantly, who could maintain a good temper?
If she didn’t go up and slap her silly, that’s great self-restraint.
Shi Jiumei also didn’t think that Ye Fei could be so pretty.
Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she had to confess that Ye Fei was indeed beautiful.
Beautiful enough to make Shi Jiumei jealous!
Earlier, when Ye Fei hadn’t revealed her face, Shi Jiumei assumed she was ugly and thus intentionally mysterious.
Who knew it would end like this!
"I’ve clarified your doubt about my face." Ye Fei said coldly, "Are you now doubting my culinary skills?"
"In fact, I anticipated this. The reason I signed up for this competition is because of the online accusations you hired mercenaries to flood against my cooking skills, saying I was afraid to show my face because I’m ugly, and claiming my cooking was bad, that recipes made using my methods wouldn’t taste good, even accusing me of hiring people to fake my dishes," Ye Fei said.
Many spectators present were still unaware of the truth.
"So, I came here to prove myself." Ye Fei said, with a cold laugh, "In the preliminary round, I ranked 11th, while you barely advanced by clinging to 50th place."
"Today, I won first place, while you were eliminated." Each sentence Ye Fei spoke was like a slap to Shi Jiumei’s face.
"Now you’re unsatisfied again, questioning the results of the competition and the professionalism of the judges," Ye Fei said coldly.
Shi Jiumei blushed: "Don’t accuse me! I didn’t question the judges!"
"I received a total of 120 votes, 30 of which were given by the judges. The preliminary scores were also assessed by the judges. Now you question my score integrity, isn’t that questioning the judges?" Ye Fei suddenly intensified her tone.
"There were 1000 audience votes and 50 judges’ votes. Out of the 1000 audience votes, I received 90. You tell me my score is inflated? Which scoring inflation would take the ratio of 9 to 100? You say the audience followed the trend to taste my snacks, and even if all the audience was following trends, only 90 followed?"
"You lost and are unsatisfied, which is understandable. But to easily dismiss my scores, deny my capability, and even try to smear me and the judges, this shows a problem with your character."
