Let's not talk about the basic issues such as finance, energy, and a series of formalities, but it's hard for me to accept her character alone. The unbridled mouth and dark heart she inherited from her mother made me very uncomfortable.

In terms of personality, Jasmine and Xueqi can be said to be completely opposite. Xue Qi has been pampered since she was a child, she is a good girl who hides at home and rarely goes out, but Jasmine is different, she has been used to seeing the dark side of society since she was a child, and her mental age is more mature than that of ordinary children, and even her personality is a little distorted. If such a child lives in my house and lets Xueqi get along with her for a long time, I am afraid that Xueqi will be infected by her.

Let's inquire about her mother's background first, and then take her to the orphanage......

After thinking about it, I still think it's best to send her to an orphanage.

My plan is to go to the foot bath shops that Jasmine said in the next few days to inquire about Jasmine's mother's birthplace, and contact Jasmine to see if Jasmine has any other relatives or responsible persons.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to afford to raise her.

I sorted out my thoughts in the living room and finally went to the kitchen to cook first.

I was washing rice when Xue Qi came downstairs.

She walked up behind me and softly called me "papa"

I scooped up the rice and turned my head to see Xue Qi's somewhat gloomy expression.

"Jasmine in the bath?"

"Hmm. I've already found her clothes. Xue Qi's eyes were a little hesitant, "Papa, what did you mean by your stepmother...... What's going on?"

I was stunned for a moment. I didn't even explain it to Xue Qi just now.

"This, Qiqi, I'll tell you slowly, here's how it goes. I settled down and explained carefully to her, "Papa, like you, I haven't had a mother since I was a child. When my dad was still around, she found a stepmother. But later, my dad also divorced that stepmother. The stepmother left with her daughter for many years. That daughter is Jasmine who just came to our house. She came to our house because her mother had died. Nowhere to go. Now you're clear?"

"Hmm. Xue Qi nodded. "Then Sister Jasmine, are you going to live with us?"

"Hmm...... Jasmine doesn't have a place to go now, so I'll stay in our house for a while, and I'll figure out what she will do in the future. Jasmine is only 12 years old, and you're 15 years old, so if she stays with us for a long time, you'll have to take care of her, you know?"

“。 Xue Qi said sensibly. But it seems that Xue Qi is still not very happy. After all, a strange girl suddenly came to the house, and everyone would have an idea.

This is like the parents of a single child family suddenly have a second child, and the only child will be somewhat anxious after knowing that the parents have a second child, and the parents' love for them will be reduced.

"Don't worry, Qiqi, I like you just as much. Jasmine is just my sister, just like Sister Confinement. I touched Xue Qi's head and said with a smile.

By my assurance, Xueqi rolled her eyes, then took away the hand I had placed on her head and slapped it hard.

"Papa, I'll help you wash the rice. Xue Qi saw that I was washing rice and said very obediently.

"I've already scooped up the rice, you can pour some water and put the jar in the rice cooker." I'm going to make braised silver cod. ”

"Oh~~" Xue Qi helped me cook very well.

We were busy in the kitchen for a while, I made silver cod, fried shrimp and shredded pork running eggs, and Xueqi made a bowl of enoki mushroom stir-fry and a bowl of tofu soup. In the past two years, Xue Qi's cooking skills have improved a lot, especially in Yuezi, Xue Qi has also learned a few Japanese dishes. Actually, I wanted to save the fried shrimp for the evening, but since Jasmine came, I had to make it in advance.

After about half an hour, we were done, and as soon as we came out of the kitchen with the food, I saw a little girl in a plain gown coming down the stairs.

Of course, it was Jasmine who came downstairs, but at first glance, I really didn't recognize it.

After taking a shower and changing into the "new clothes" that Xue Qi worn, Jasmine can really be described as refreshed.

Before, in my impression, Jasmine has always been a dirty girl with a gray face and messy hair, but at this moment, in my eyes, Jasmine has become a very delicate girl.

Although it is a little worse than Xueqi's stunning color, at first glance, Jasmine is also a pretty delicate little girl.

It's just that there is always a hint of resentment between the eyebrows.

"Jasmine, come here. I called Jasmine, and Jasmine, who was wearing long sleeves, came over, Jasmine's long hair seemed to be a little curly by nature, although it was not very curly, but it looked good on the shoulders.

As soon as I called out, Jasmine looked over, her dark brown pupils looked at me and Xueqi, and then, she walked over without saying a word.

"The clothes fit well. and Xueqi's figure is also about the same. I looked at Jasmine a few times and said. "How's it going?"

"The sleeves are a bit long. Jasmine shook her sleeve, which was longer than her arm, and replied to me very directly.

"You put it on first. I'll buy one for you at the store when I have time. I said with a frown.

"No need. I'll be fine with old clothes. Jasmine said as she walked into the living room, then she looked left and right again, and finally her gaze returned to my face, "You don't have a wife?"

"Uh, what wife?"

"Aren't you married?" asked Jasmine, looking at me, suspiciously.

"I'm not married, what's wrong?" Damn, this little girl actually cares about me. True TMD gossip.

"Isn't there a second wife? Aren't all rich people taking care of them......

"What are you talking about?!" I sensed that something was going to go wrong if she continued to speak, so I immediately stopped her. Damn, how did that "stepmother" educate this crazy girl? She was only in her early 10s, and she began to open and close her mouth about words like "second mother" and "fostering".

"......" I repeated, and Jasmine hurriedly closed her mouth, her eyes looking at me without blinking. "I didn't say anything. Jasmine said.

"You're really amazing, you open your mouth and shut these things at a young age!" I stared at Jasmine, who kept her mouth shut and looked at me. "Your mother taught you, didn't she?"

"I'm not going to say it again. Jasmine looked at me, looked at me with a sinister gaze, and said. "Also, don't talk about my mother. I heard it from others myself. ”

It's quick to admit mistakes. Every time Jasmine said these foul words, I would get angry, but she always confessed her mistake quickly, making me extremely angry but with nowhere to vent.

I stared at Jasmine and looked at her twice.

"Don't let me hear you say that next time. Especially don't say this in front of Xue Qi, otherwise I'm welcome. I said bluntly to Jasmine.

"Okay. Jasmine glanced at Xueqi and then at me, "I see." She said.

"Eat. Xueqi and I walked into the living room, and Jasmine walked in.

During the meal, we had an interesting layout, Xueqi and I sat on one side, while Jasmine sat across from us, sitting opposite us.

What surprised me a little was that when she saw the food on the table, Jasmine's eyes were straight, and she didn't even dare to take the chopsticks.

"What's wrong? Seeing that Jasmine was staring at the food on the table and refused to move, I urged her.

"Oh. As soon as I said this, Jasmine came back to her senses, then picked up the chopsticks, carefully sandwiched the bowl of shredded meat running eggs closest to her, and after sandwiching them into the bowl, she took a small bite.

Seeing Jasmine move her chopsticks, Xueqi and I also ate it. The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little depressing, and Xue Qi still seemed to have some mind about Jasmine's existence, and secretly looked at Jasmine while eating.

But what surprised me a little was that Jasmine actually ate only one bite of shredded meat and ran eggs and then ate the light rice directly, and the other dishes on the table didn't move a bite.

Seeing Jasmine's appearance, I couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you eat vegetables?"

Jasmine looked up, her mouth still with the grains of rice in her mouth.

"Light rice is fine. Jasmine said, "I'm not used to eating these dishes." ”

Jasmine's words made Xue Qi and I look at each other.

"And what do you eat at home?"

"Dried plum vegetables, eggs, pour some soy sauce. Jasmine said.

"That's all, and then?" I was surprised.

Jasmine looked at the rice in the bowl, stirred it a little, then looked at the dish on the table and said:

"I can't afford such an expensive dish at home. ”

That's right, too. Thinking about the living situation of that stepmother, I think it is reasonable. When she found my house, I threw her 100,000 yuan and told her to get out of my house, which was not a small amount at that time. But thinking that her mother later took drugs, it is normal to have no money.

"Then you need to eat more. "Although I don't have any affection for Jasmine, her deceased mother, and even I hate Jasmine's character, Jasmine's background is still somewhat sympathetic.

After thinking about it for a while, I moved my chopsticks and took some fried shrimp and silver cod from my plate and put them in Jasmine's bowl.

Never mind...... What do you call a little child? I consoled myself.

"Since you're here, don't be a guest. These dishes are made for you, and you have to eat them. Didn't you say you wanted to live in my house? If you don't even want to eat my food, how can you stay? ”

At my command, Jasmine still looked at me with a stiff face, then reached out and peeled off the shell of the fried shrimp with her thin fingers, and then took the shrimp meat with her greasy hand and put it in her mouth to eat......

Seeing Jasmine's eating appearance, I frowned again.

"You haven't eaten shrimp before?" I asked her.

"......" Jasmine chewed the shrimp meat in her mouth and looked up at me, "My mother only bought this ...... during the Chinese New Year"

"Oh. I watched Jasmine peel the shell of the lobster and couldn't help but say, "The fried shrimp can be eaten directly with the shell." No need to peel so clean. ”

As soon as I said this, the crazy girl's face changed, and she was stunned for a moment, and she paused, then raised her head, and said to me in a deep voice: "I don't like to eat shells." ”

It's clear that I don't know if I can eat it without peeling the shell, and I'm still hard-mouthed.

Seeing Jasmine's appearance, I could only smile bitterly in my heart.
