Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 532: I Just Look Down on You

Even if someone from Lanshan Compound wanted to break in, it wouldn’t be easy.

So, Ye Fei had no worries at all, focusing entirely on preparing for the competition.

Just like before, Ye Fei entered the makeup room.

However, she found that none of the contestants had makeup on.

Today, there wasn’t even a makeup artist.

"Ye Fei!" Xue Jieyu saw Ye Fei and quickly waved her over.

Ye Fei walked over.

Now that there were only 15 contestants left, the makeup room felt much more spacious.

When Ye Fei arrived, ten people from Changping Academy formed a small group, and the remaining four gathered together.

For some reason, perhaps due to the difference in skill levels.

In any case, Changping Academy’s contestants rarely interacted with the others.

No one had the intention to get to know each other or chat.

A naturally invisible boundary formed between them.

Because Xue Jieyu called her, Ye Fei joined the small group of four.

Fu Jiaxu was also there, and upon seeing Ye Fei, he looked uncomfortable.

He wasn’t welcoming of Ye Fei, but the others treated her well, leaving him no choice.

Ye Fei noticed that Xue Jieyu and Zeng Jieyun had done their own light makeup, not the work of a makeup artist.

As for Fu Jiaxu and Li Zhexuan, they hadn’t put on any makeup at all.

In previous competitions, female contestants’ makeup was more evident.

Male contestants only had a bit of foundation applied to even out their skin tone.

But looking at Fu Jiaxu and Li Zhexuan, they hadn’t even put on foundation.

With Fu Jiaxu showing obvious disdain, Ye Fei certainly wouldn’t initiate a conversation with him.

So she asked the remaining three, "None of you have makeup on? Hasn’t the makeup artist arrived yet?"

"No idea." Xue Jieyu shook her head, "When we arrived, the makeup artist wasn’t here; only a staff member told us to wait here and said to wait until everyone arrived."

"Now that everyone is here, we still don’t know what’s going on." Zeng Jieyun said, "Today is different from the previous two sessions; we arrived much earlier but still don’t know what’s happening today."

Not knowing anything and the staff not saying anything made everyone more anxious.

Little did they know, although the audience hadn’t arrived yet, live streaming had already started on online platforms.

From the moment the first contestant arrived backstage, the live stream had begun.

Cameras were installed in the corners of the backstage makeup room.

Fu Jiaxu suddenly said, "Ye Fei, haven’t you heard any news about this competition?"

"No, why would I?" Ye Fei’s voice turned cold.

"After all, you and Zhao Gushen..." Fu Jiaxu said suggestively with a smirk, "I thought you might have some insider information."

"Weaklings tend to think like that, don’t they?" Ye Fei chuckled lightly.

"What did you say?" Fu Jiaxu said angrily.

You’re calling who a weakling!

"Anyone who thinks like that is at the bottom of the rankings, refusing to admit others are better, denying others’ abilities, and only thinking others succeed by luck. They believe if they had that kind of luck, they could succeed too." Ye Fei said coldly.

"Unfortunately, a weakling is a weakling. No matter what they think or say, they’ll ultimately be eliminated due to lack of skill." Like Shi Jiumei, like Ding Ruyun.

While Ye Fei didn’t mention names, everyone thought of those two simultaneously.

Xue Jieyu turned to stand by Ye Fei’s side, looking disapprovingly at Fu Jiaxu, "Ye Fei’s abilities, not to mention the auditions, have been obvious just through the two live-streamed competitions."

"Whether it’s creativity or culinary skills, there’s nothing to criticize," Xue Jieyu said, "No matter what connections she has, what does that have to do with the competition? Even if you say it’s Ye Fei’s own competition, her skills are strong, and she can win."

"I don’t understand why you always say these things. In the end, on the field, is it about background or skill?" Xue Jieyu said, truly having had enough, "If the competition was that unfair, why would we join? Why would you stay?"

Ye Fei smiled at Xue Jieyu and then said to Fu Jiaxu, "Speaking of which, everyone here won their matches with overwhelming scores. Also, when we drew lots, the skill gap with our opponents was significant."

"Xue Jieyu’s victory was a direct comeback," Ye Fei said, "Just you, how is it that you had such good luck to draw an opponent of about the same skill level, where it was uncertain who’d win?"

"How is it that with such luck, you won by a narrow margin? Of course, I have no doubts about the judges’ evaluations. But if I follow your suspicion of me, then I can similarly suspect you, right?" Ye Fei sneered, "Did you win the competition because of some trick? Otherwise, with your skills, how did you advance?"

"You..." Fu Jiaxu felt his dignity was insulted, "Ye Fei, now that you’ve advanced, you look down on people?"

"I’m not looking down on people, just you," Ye Fei said calmly.

"Pfft!" Hua Ciyue from the Changping Academy group couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Fu Jiaxu immediately turned to look at Hua Ciyue.

His initially fierce gaze softened considerably when he saw the number of people from Changping.

He didn’t dare confront the people from Changping Academy.

Next to Hua Ciyue, Xu Aoliang and Yu Yingyan snickered disdainfully.

Fu Jiaxu was also someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong, quiet when faced with more powerful and numerous opponents.

But did he not realize, was Ye Fei really someone "weak"?

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn’t hold it in, laughed a bit loudly!" Hua Ciyue said with a smile.

"Is it really that funny?" Fu Jiaxu couldn’t help but say.

"Of course, it’s funny." Hua Ciyue said, "Ye Fei’s words, just think about them."

Fu Jiaxu: "..."

"Ye Fei said she looks down on you; first of all, that means exactly what it says, no need for me to explain it to you, right?" Hua Ciyue said.

"Hmph." Fu Jiaxu snorted, not wanting to reply.

"The key is the previous sentence: Ye Fei also said she’s not looking down on people, isn’t that implying she doesn’t consider you a person?" Hua Ciyue laughed and clapped.

"I’m not trying to stir trouble, but I like Ye Fei’s attitude!" Hua Ciyue clapped and said, "Otherwise, when someone insults you to your face, should you just play the saint?"

"Fu Jiaxu, I’ve personally tasted Ye Fei’s cooking." Li Zhexuan said, "At other times I wouldn’t know, but at least in the first competition, I admit there was a gap between me and Ye Fei."

"Me too," Zeng Jieyun said, "And I said during that competition, Ye Fei’s culinary skills were strong."

"You’re looking down on Ye Fei’s cooking skills, thinking she didn’t win based on ability, does that mean you’re also questioning my abilities?" Li Zhexuan said coldly.
