Fortunately, on that day, Ji Moyi and Ji Moting, who knew Ji Mochen had a performance, rushed to the elementary school with a group of good friends right after finishing the competition to support him.
As soon as they arrived, they heard students saying that Ji Mochen was being forced to put on lipstick and wear a skirt backstage.
Upon hearing this, the two brothers got anxious and immediately rushed backstage.
Only when they saw this group of talented teenagers rushing backstage did the teachers who had been pretending nothing was going on start to worry.
But...it was too late.
Many years later, the retired teachers and the business tycoons who had made their names in the business world still clearly remembered that day.
They remembered how the two famous geniuses from the junior high department had wrecked havoc backstage at the elementary school's anniversary celebration.
They remembered how seamlessly this group of geniuses had worked together, with some clearing the scene and some kicking down the door.
When the door was kicked open, the teenagers all turned their backs to the door in perfect coordination.
At that time, Ji Mochen was pulling his own clothes with one hand and covering his face with the other so he wouldn't get photographed.
The tears in the youngster's eyes never stopped, but he stubbornly didn't make a sound.
The moment the door was kicked open, all movement in the room stopped. Little Ji Mochen only dared to look out through his fingers.
"Big brother, third brother!"
The moment he saw his brothers, it was as if he instantly gained strength. He shook off the hand grabbing his clothes and ran to them.
"Are you okay?" Ji Moting looked at his younger brother worriedly.
Ji Moyi next to him had already started checking if his brother had any injuries.
"I'm fine..." Ji Mochen sobbed and then aggrievedly asked, "Did you finish with the competition?"
"Yes, we finished it," Ji Moting said as he started rummaging around the room.
"Big brother and I bought a lot of local specialties for you too."
Ji Moyi brought his brother to sit at the side. From underneath all the test papers in his schoolbag, he took out a bag of pastries and handed it to his brother. Then he casually closed the door.
"Did they hit you?" By now Ji Moting had fished out a hanger from the corner.
He casually bent it to test its flexibility. Satisfied that it was sturdy enough, he approached the trembling brats huddled in the corner.
Ji Mochen sobbed as he supplemented, "They even said I looked like a girl and insisted on making me wear a skirt. They said they were going to take photos after I had it on."
Ji Moting's and Ji Moyi's expressions instantly turned several times uglier.
"....Very good."
"What great ideas they have."
After the two brothers said this, they stopped wasting words.
And so that day, the two most famous talented teenagers from the Kyoto junior high beat up a group of arrogant elementary schoolers until they cried for their fathers and mothers.
As for the bullied Ji Mochen...he wiped away tears as he ate pastries, and would occasionally sneak over to give a couple of kicks.
The group of talented teenagers from the junior high department stationed outside continued to perfectly cooperate by keeping watch.
Thus, when the teachers finally arrived in a hurry and forced open the door...
They were presented with a room full of bruised and swollen little mermaids and princesses, except for the three Ji brothers.
That scene...was truly unforgettable even til this day.
In the end, the Ji family, who later became business tycoons again, dealt with all the families who were present that day.
The bratty kids were expelled from school, the bratty parents went bankrupt.
Not only that, after discovering that such incidents frequently occurred at the school, and many teachers turned a blind eye, the school's faculty underwent a major reshuffling.
Those despicable people who had always covered up the truth were demoted, and the hardworking teachers who earnestly taught their classes finally got the chance to realize their aspirations.
After that, the Ji family also became one of the school's major shareholders.
From then on, the three Ji brothers naturally had no one who dared provoke them.
But this incident did leave a shadow in Ji Mochen's heart.
That's why later, whether it was Ji Mochen's parents or his brothers Ji Moting and Ji Moyi, they subconsciously indulged Ji Mochen.
Ji Mochen's regretful parents:
Our child suffered such a big grievance. As long as he doesn't commit any crimes in the future, let him do whatever he wants.
Ji Moting & Ji Moyi brothers:
Our younger brother/older brother is too good-looking and timid. What's wrong with pampering him a bit?
Thus, Ji Mochen shamelessly became the most useless yet most favored one in the family, and his temper grew bigger day after day.
This led to his later reputation in the entertainment industry.
It was also because of his childhood experience that Ji Mochen tossed and turned sleeplessly these past few days before his daughter started school.
He even regretted countless times not having joined the company back then.
He thought that if he had joined the company and gained some power, he wouldn't have to worry now about whether his daughter would be looked down upon for being a celebrity's child.
But then he thought, with his wastrel habits, if he had real power in the company, could the Ji Corporation have developed so well?
He had to admit, Ji Mochen's self-awareness was quite clear.
"Alright, you're a father now, aren't you ashamed? Instead of worrying about useless things, think about what you should make for Ruochu to eat when she comes home today," Ji's father said helplessly. Although he and his wife didn't have a daughter, thanks to this useless second son, they had also gained half a daughter.
"Mom and I already made plans," Ji Mochen wiped his nose and looked at the retreating tree shadows outside the window as he calmed down a bit.
"Dad, Mom, come eat at my house today! I learned a new dish, try it."
Learned something new?
Ji's parents simultaneously shook their heads.
They'd have to politely decline this blessing they couldn't handle.
"Make it yourself and taste it first at noon. Don't feed the child until you know it's fine," Ji's father said uneasily.
Ji Mochen: ......
"Tsk! Can't you have a little more confidence in me? I've been a half to full-time dad for so many years!"
In response to this, Ji's parents' reply was...to dump their useless second son at the supermarket entrance.
"Buy your ingredients and take a taxi home yourself."
After saying this, the old couple calmly had the driver take them back to the old residence.
Some familial love, but not much.
On the other side, Ji Ruochu, who was the first batch to arrive at the school entrance but had to be the last batch to enter the school gates, was finally able to follow the teacher to her classroom.
All along the way, little Qi Yibin kept busy crying silently.
The round lump lay on the teacher's shoulder weeping, looking utterly pitiful from every angle.
"Why are you still crying?" Ji Ruochu didn't understand. "Your parents can't see you anymore, so what's the point of crying now?"
The extremely heartbroken little chubster: ......
You make a lot of sense, but I'm still sad.
So he twisted his head away, with the back of his head facing Ji Ruochu.
The reason he didn't want to talk to this little sister wasn't because he still held a grudge from last year.
Rather, earlier, this little sister could have gone home when given the chance, yet she insisted on coming to class!
This led to his softhearted grandfather and grandmother losing the excuse to take him away.
After all...his little sister dared to go to school at such a young age. How could he lose to her?
The little chubster got more upset the more he thought about his failure to play truant.
Hmph! He didn't want to see this little sister ever again!
However, the little chubster's wish was quickly shattered, because—
"You're in class i too?"
Ji Ruochu looked puzzledly at the sobbing little chubster who was standing with her at the classroom door.
Based on his performance at the entrance exam the other day, the little chubster shouldn't have been put in a remedial class, right?
But upon further thought...it wasn't impossible. Although the little chubster was gifted, his emotions were too unstable.
He probably cried too sadly and wasn't able to get a better grade.
Also, she'd heard their family was one of those who had only squeezed into this circle in recent years, seeming quite like nouveau riche just getting their start.
Of course, this wasn't meant to look down on nouveau riche, just that in this case, compared to Ji Mochen and his wife's prowess in the parents' assessments...
They probably weren't evenly matched.
With this thought, Ji Ruochu went ahead into the classroom by herself.
The formerly unwilling little chubster suddenly felt his competitive spirit ignite.
The little guy wiped away his tears, then deliberately quickened his pace and pushed her as he drew near—
To be honest, if he had pushed anyone other than Ji Ruochu, he would've succeeded.
Too bad, bad luck. The little milk baby didn't even raise her head as she dodged to the side.
Huh?
Where'd she go?
The little chubster was stunned as he stared at the suddenly empty space.
Before he could react, his whole body uncontrollably rushed forward from momentum.
