Transmigrating To The 80s To Become Stepmom To Five Bigwigs Chapter 294 - Too Much Alike

Chapter 294: Too Much Alike

Old Fan helped Old Master Ji into the car. “Then shall we go back to the capital first?”

“No, wait for a while.” Old Master Ji didn’t say they should leave, so Old Fan could only wait.

They sat in the car for two hours before the music festival ended and the audience left.

Old Master Ji, who had been silent while thinking about something, sat up straight and looked outside.

Ji Buw.a.n.g, Mu Jingzhe, Xiao Wu, and Shao Xi didn’t squeeze into the crowd because they interacted with some of the partic.i.p.ants before leaving. Also, some of the organizers wanted to find out more about Xiao Wu’s tune. By the time they came out, most of the others had already left.

“Xiao Wu, the tune you composed is awesome. Look, even cartoon producers want to use it.” Xiao Wu’s tune was cheerful and lively, so it was suitable for children’s programs and animation.

Xiao Wu chuckled and couldn’t help but hold Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buw.a.n.g’s hands as he swung.

On the other hand, Shao Xi held Mu Jingzhe’s hand and snorted. “This tune of his is mocking me, especially that croaking sound.”

“Second Brother and Third Brother did look like angry frogs.” Xiao Wu stuck his head out to look at Shao Xi. “But I’m not mocking Second Brother. I like Second Brother the most.”

The corners of Shao Xi’s mouth couldn’t help curling up, but he said disdainfully, “You only know how to coax people all day long.”

“I’m telling the truth, Second Brother.”

As they spoke, Mu Jingzhe and the others got into Ji Buw.a.n.g’s car. They didn’t notice the car parked not far away, as they only thought that it belonged to another parent.

Old Master Ji watched them walk past with his own eyes. When Ji Buw.a.n.g’s car drove away, Old Master Ji muttered, “Why does he look so similar…”

Old Fan, who was sitting in the front, could also see it clearly. “Yeah, they look too similar.”

Some children’s facial features could be seen from a very young age, but some children’s looks were worlds apart after they grew up. Especially after their facial features developed, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that they had been reborn.

The Ji Family’s appearance belonged to the latter category. When they were young, they didn’t look like the same person as when they grew up. Ordinary people couldn’t tell.

However, the elders could tell because they watched them grow up.

Old Master Ji tapped his walking stick twice. “I heard from Buw.a.n.g that this child doesn’t know who his mother is, right?”

“Yes.”

“Go and find out.”

“Alright.” Old Fan nodded.

After Mu Jingzhe returned, Little Bei also returned. The director’s prediction was right. During the concert, it had indeed rained in Ocean City, so the director had finished filming the rain scene.

Shao Qihai was standing outside waiting for Mu Jingzhe and the others to return. As soon as he saw the car, he walked over and opened the door for Mu Jingzhe and Little Nan.

Mu Jingzhe was about to get out of the car when Ji Buw.a.n.g suddenly stopped her. “Wait.”

Mu Jingzhe turned around. “Mm?”

Ji Buw.a.n.g called out to Mu Jingzhe and ignored Shao Qihai, who was outside. “Let’s go eat together. There’s a Western restaurant on Chaoxi Road. The steak and cake are pretty good. Let’s invite Little Bei to come along.”

Shao Qihai’s eyes widened when he heard that. It was rare for him to come to Ocean City this time, and he had been busy before. Now that he finally had the chance, he had already made some plans. He hadn’t expected Ji Buw.a.n.g to beat him to it.

Just as Shao Qihai was about to speak, he heard Mu Jingzhe say, “The one on Chaoxi Road? We’ve eaten there before. Little Xi treated us to it yesterday.”

Ji Buw.a.n.g: “You guys went to eat there yesterday?”

“That’s right.” Mu Jingzhe felt a little helpless. “I just ate there yesterday, so I won’t be going today. We’ll go next time, alright?”

Yesterday, Shao Qihai had gone there to treat someone to a meal, and Ji Buw.a.n.g hadn’t come either. Thus, Shao Xi had taken Mu Jingzhe and the others there to eat, allowing Mu Jingzhe to experience a candlelit romantic dinner of the era.

Needless to say, the steak and cake were really delicious. In the end, they’d even given her a surprise. The flowers that Shao Nan had asked his siblings to buy, as well as a golden bracelet from Shao Dong, were really a pleasant surprise.

Most of the guests who had gone there yesterday were couples. Mu Jingzhe and the four children didn’t fit in, but in the end, because of the children, she successfully became one of the most envied female guests.

One of the guests had originally prepared a romantic surprise, but because Mu Jingzhe’s came before hers, the girl didn’t feel any surprise. There were also very few people who shouted ‘Say yes’ in the crowd.

When Mu Jingzhe recalled this, she felt happy. But when she looked at Ji Buw.a.n.g, she felt apologetic.

Ji Buw.a.n.g hadn’t expected Shao Xi to beat him to it. He could only smile. “It’s alright, next time then.”

Shao Qihai almost laughed out loud when he heard that. ‘Who asked you to invite her in front of me to deliberately anger me?’

Although they had signed the agreement, Ji Buw.a.n.g was too infuriating.

Shao Qihai waited for Mu Jingzhe to come down. He didn’t avoid Ji Buw.a.n.g and directly took the movie tickets out of his bag.

“Jingzhe, let’s go watch a movie since we have time today. I heard that this movie is very funny and many people like it.”

This was what Shao Qihai had wanted to do yesterday. After saying that, Shao Qihai glanced at Ji Buw.a.n.g smugly. There was definitely nothing wrong with his suggestion.

As he was thinking about this, he heard Mu Jingzhe say, “This movie… Little Bei invited me to watch it before.”

Shao Qihai looked at Little Bei, who nodded. “Mm, we’ve seen it, Daddy.”

Shao Qihai’s expression froze, and Ji Buw.a.n.g burst into laughter.

He had been laughing at him just now, but now it was his turn, huh?

Shao Qihai glared fiercely at Ji Buw.a.n.g and looked at Little Bei awkwardly. “I heard you guys say that you were quite busy previously, so I thought you hadn’t seen it.”

“Yes, we’ve been very busy. But it’s just a movie. I just watched it with Mommy when we had time.” Little Bei glanced at Shao Qihai strangely. “Daddy, I thought you didn’t like movies?”

After saying that, she pursed her lips and felt a little unhappy. Previously, Shao Qihai hadn’t watched her movie, but now he wanted to watch someone else’s movie.

Shao Qihai froze again. How was he supposed to explain this? He had always felt that he had let Little Bei down, and this time, he wanted to compensate her. He had dared to invite Mu Jingzhe to this movie with the children because he had already asked around and found out that there was no crying in the movie.

As long as there were no crying scenes, he could do it. It was rare for him to find a movie that didn’t have any crying scenes from start to finish, but in the end…

Upon seeing Little Bei walk back with her head hanging low in disappointment, Shao Qihai panicked and quickly explained, “I… Little Bei, let me explain…”

“No need to explain.” Little Bei shook her head. Didn’t he just dislike her movies? What was there to explain?

“It’s not like that, Little Bei. It’s really not that I don’t like your movie. I have a reason…” Shao Qihai was anxious.

Mu Jingzhe had seen Shao Qihai cry like a dog before, so she knew the reason for Shao Qihai’s actions. Seeing that he was so pitiful, she helped him explain. “Little Bei, your daddy is right. Actually, he has secretly watched it before.”

Little Bei turned around. “Really?”

“Really. I’ve watched all your movies and television dramas. I’ll watch them in the future too.” Shao Qihai quickly nodded.
