Chapter 4: The Smell of Roasted Meat
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In fact, this was suggested by Jin Yingying. Not only that, but she also sprinkled some oil around the fire when no one was around. Who asked Jin Xi to be the biological child of the Jin family!
“Hurry up, the food is getting cold!” Wu Yuyao urged impatiently.
Jin Xi’s eyebrows twitched, but she didn’t refuse. She walked straight to the fire.
Jin Yingying’s eyes flashed with excitement. She seemed to have already seen the tragic state of Jin Xi getting burnt, but Jin Xi steadily stepped over the fire. There was no sign of her feet slipping. Jin Yingying was stunned. Why didn’t it work?
“Hey,” Jin Xi suddenly called out to Jin Yingying. Looking at the confused Jin Yingying, she said in a playful manner, “why don’t you step over the fire too?”
Jin Yingying subconsciously retorted, “I don’t have any bad luck on me, why should I?”
“But you touched my hand,” Jin Xi said with an evil smile.
Only then did Jin Yingying realize that she had unknowingly held Jin Xi’s hand. She was so frightened that she hurriedly shook Jin Xi’s hand off.
Jin Xi didn’t get angry. Instead, she pretended to be worried and said, “bad luck is contagious. To be honest, I even touched the coffin and tombstone with this hand today. If you don’t do it and bring bad luck into the house, your family’s business will be affected. What should we do then?”
Hearing this, the Jin couple immediately realized the severity of the situation and quickly advised her, “Yingying, this is not a joke. You should step over the fire before entering the house.”
“Yingying, it’ll be bad if it affects our family business!”
Hearing her parents’ words, Jin Yingying knew that she had no other choice. She glared fiercely at Jin Xi.
“I’m hungry. Can you hurry up?” Jin Xi asked with a smile.
Jin Yingying clenched her teeth so hard that they were about to break. She lifted her dress up high. She didn’t want her expensive dress to be ruined. She recalled where she had spilled the oil and tried to avoid it. Then she took a step and stepped over the fire, but she miscalculated. The moment she touched the ground, her feet slipped slightly, and her legs touched the edge of the brazier. The air was instantly filled with the smell of roasted meat.

“Ah!” Jin Yingying shrieked, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground, “it hurts! My legs, my legs!”
The Jin couple also panicked and quickly went forward to check. The servants ran into the villa to take out the first aid kit.
“How did you get so badly scalded? Will I still be able to participate in the dance competition tomorrow?” Wu Yuying said anxiously.
“Forget about it,” Jin Yida said helplessly, “it’s such a serious burn. You have to take good care of it. Otherwise, it’ll leave a scar..”
Jin Yingying’s eyes were slightly red. She felt indignant, but she had no other choice. After treating her wound and applying some ointment, she was supported by a servant and limped back to the villa.
At the dining table, Jin Yida raised his glass and said, “there was a small incident today, but no matter what, our family is finally reunited.”
“Jin Xi, this is to you. I hope you can quickly adapt to life here and integrate into our big family.”
Jin Xi glanced at it, and her eyes suddenly fell on Jin Yida’s wrist. He had a strange scar on his wrist. The edge of the scar was round and hollow, similar to the roof of this villa. Could it be that the Jin family…
She quickly retracted her gaze and replied indifferently, “I’ve never drunk alcohol. I suggest you don’t drink too.”

Hearing this, Jin Yida was not happy, “as a businessman, I have to entertain clients all the time. How can I not drink?”
After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He didn’t object to taking Jin Xi home. But there was one condition. Jin Xi had to be a dignified child. But now it seemed that not only was she not dignified, she was also timid and rude. How was he going to bring her to the gathering of the rich and powerful in the future?
Jin Yingying saw that her adoptive father was in a bad mood and quickly raised her glass to comfort him, “dad, don’t be angry. She grew up in a mountain village and has no experience living in the city, so she doesn’t understand these things.”
“But you still have me. I will do my best to help my sister,” then, Jin Yingying raised her glass and finished the wine. Although her leg was scalded and it was not good for her to drink alcohol, in order to consolidate her position in the Jin family, she had to go all out!
Hearing Jin Yingying’s words, Jin Yida felt a little better.
