Jason walked up to Emily, asking on purpose, “Ms. Yates, did Janie not agree to help?” Emily sighed, “We’re not like the Jenkins family, it’s normal for Janie not to want to help us.”

Jason’s face darkened. ‘He was not from a wealthy family, so they looked down on him like this! It seemed that Janie was not that noble.‘
[Ah? Emily might be overly sensitive. Janie was obviously not like that.]
Janie had already sat back on the swing. At this moment, Ryan, Zion, and Xena finally managed to make a meal that was at least edible with the help of enthusiastic David and cool Jackson.
Molly desperately avoided being involved, but still ended up helping Jason and Emily cook. However, they still couldn’t cook properly, let alone eat something.
Jackson finished his task and felt a wave of satisfaction as he looked at the frustrated faces of Ryan and Zion. David indulged in the thrill of being a teacher and was also extremely happy.
The only ones unhappy were Ryan and Zion. Not to mention their pride and dislike for such instruction, just the relationship between Janie and Jackson was enough to make them feel choked.
Xena, however, smiled gratefully, “Mr. Moore, Mr. Smith, I’m really thankful to both of you. Without your help, I really wouldn’t know what to do. If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be so many dishes, please join us to eat.”
Her words overwhelmed Jackson and David a little. Ryan and Zion felt a little speechless. They frowned slightly because they didn’t want Xena to be like this.
They didn’t understand. Couldn’t Xena see that they were unhappy? Why did she do this? Jackson curled his lips, “It’s fine, I’m not as helpful as my sister, I’m only doing this reluctantly for her sake.”
He glanced at the food, frowning slightly, “You’re not good at cooking, and I’m picky about the meals. I won’t eat this time.” He couldn’t help but added, “It’s mostly David who taught you guys, please never tell people that I’ve ever taught you, cooking.” Hearing this, the Jenkins went silent.
[Molly: I want to escape, but I can’t.], [I feel there’s really something subtle between Ryan, Zion, and Jackson. I increasingly feel that Janie might really have some connection with the Jenkins family. I’m not a fan of any of them, don’t label me.]
[Haha. Jackson: You guys are so bad at this, don’t tell anyone that I’ve taught you. It’s David who took on everything finally.]
David had been grinning widely before hearing what Jackson said, then he froze. Ryan felt deeply humiliated, and Zion’s temper flared up as well. David couldn’t help but say, “I just gave some simple advice. That was not teaching.”
He also despised the Jenkins‘ cooking! The Jenkins‘ faces turned even darker. Xena lowered her head slightly, “We really didn’t do well. But this was my first time cooking, I really wanted you to try it.”
“Don’t bother.” Jackson didn’t want to waste time with her. He moved the chair and turned to leave. Xena’s smile stiffened and she looked at David again, “Mr. Smith.” David refused, “It’s almost lunchtime, I can’t eat anymore.”
Xena laughed awkwardly, “That’s really funny.” David scratched his head and said, “Maybe I’ve learned the excellent virtues of Janie. Xena got totally speechless.
This time, she really wished he would leave immediately. ‘Why was everything about Janie? So annoying!”
After being busy for so long, they were indeed starving. Without thinking too much, they started to eat.
[Haha, David also disliked their cooking!], [Having learned Janie’s excellent virtues. David. Don’t be so ridiculous.]

Chapter 50
Emily and Jason, who never finished cooking, were lured by the smell and came over. Their eyes stared straight at the food. Ryan and Zion pretended not to see them, focusing only on the meals.
They completely ignored them. However, Xena proactively asked, “Emily, Jason, have you eaten yet?” Both of them shook their heads. Emily felt a bit embarrassed, “Xena, I’m really sorry, we still haven’t finished cooking. It’s getting late, could we have a bit of your breakfast?”
Ryan and Zion instinctively wanted to refuse directly. But Xena cheerfully said, “Sure! Our breakfast might not be as good as Mr. Moore’s, I hope that you don’t mind it.”
Emily beamed, “How could we mind? Xena, thank you!” Xena smiled kindly, “It’s nothing, we’re all in the same show, and we should help each other out.” Jason and Emily immediately fetched the tableware and sat down.
Ryan and Zion felt quite stifled inside. They had worked so hard to finally get something to eat. It was even their first real attempt at cooking. Naturally, they didn’t want to share it with Emily and Jason.
However, Xena had surprisingly agreed without hesitation. They couldn’t embarrass her. Ryan couldn’t help but glance at Janie from afar, feeling somewhat stifled.
Zion found it increasingly difficult to enjoy the food. However, Emily and Jason ate heartily. They had been busy for so long that they were starving and exhausted, finding the food exceptionally delicious and focusing solely on eating.
Ryan and Zion were even more displeased with this. Xena seemed totally unaware of their mood, looking rather pleased with a smile on her face.
Jason casually remarked, “Xena, you guys are awesome! Xena replied with a shy smile, “I didn’t do much. It was mainly Ryan and Mr. Smith Jason was merely trying to maintain a good image, not really interested in what Xena said. He had put his head down and continued eating again.
[Emily, Jason. You two really can’t do anything right except freeloading). [Ryan and Zion are a bit unhappy. Is it just my misconception?]. [Be confident, it’s not your misconception. It’s normal not to want people they dislike enjoying the fruits of their hard labor. Because Xena agreed, they had no choice. Honestly, they really loved Xena.]
Ryan and Zion completely lost their appetite. However, they didn’t want all their hard work to be eaten by Jason and Emily, so they sped up and tried to eat more. As they ate, Zion finally couldn’t stand it, put down his fork and left.
Xena was startled, looked at Zion’s back, and asked, “What’s wrong, Zion?” He paused for a moment and then continued walking. Xena’s face stiffened for a moment. She looked at Ryan and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Ryan was also in a bad mood and didn’t feel like answering Xena. However, people were watching, he still wanted to show Xena some respect, so he reluctantly said, “Maybe she just ate too much”
Ryan put down his fork as well, saying, “I’ve had enough too. I’ll take a walk” Xena could no longer force a smile. She looked down slightly, not understanding why Ryan and Zion suddenly turned cold, making her feel awkward.
Emily and Jason were also startled. Emily worriedly asked, “What’s wrong, Xena? Are they upset because we eat the food?” Xena was taken aback for a moment and replied, “No, don’t worry about it, let’s continue eating?
“Right, I think they’re not that petty” Emily continued eating relievedly.
[Zion finally couldn’t hold it in anymore! I even feel a bit sympathetic towards them. What should they do if their sister is too kind and generous?]
[Do you really think Xena did well? I somehow feel she doesn’t really care about Ryan and Zion’s feelings. Maybe they’ve doted on her too much.]
II honestly feel that Xetta doesn’t care much about her brothers.]
