Chapter 578: Chapter 578: You’ve Been Fooled!
The remaining garlic sauce mixed with the vermicelli at the bottom, slippery and smooth.
Another oyster sprinkled with mozzarella cheese, when picking up the oyster meat, the cheese stretched into a long string.
Ye Fei rolled it several times before breaking the cheese string.
"It’s surprisingly not greasy," Zhao Gushen remarked in amazement, "and there’s a garlic aroma."
Initially, he thought it was the flavor of the garlic oysters next to it.
But the taste was different.
Zhao Gushen pushed all the cheese aside and discovered that there was garlic paste hidden underneath.
"It’s the taste of the garlic paste that balances the cheesiness," Zhao Gushen realized.
Xiao Mo was too busy eating to speak, continuously munching away.
Halfway through eating, he took a sip of grape juice.
Imitating the way people drink spirits on TV, he let out a mature "ha!"
Zhao Gushen: "..."
"By the way, Wei Wucai sent me the wedding invitation today," Zhao Gushen said.
A month ago, Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing had already informed them of the wedding date.
Letting them know to keep the day free for the wedding.
However, at that time, it was only a verbal notice; the formal invitation had not yet been sent out.
Today, the official wedding invitation was delivered.
Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing’s wedding is scheduled for this Saturday.
While Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen’s family were happily dining together, Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen had already returned home.
They actually arrived back in Ye City in the afternoon.
After getting off the plane, they went directly home.
Without informing Ye Ning.
Meanwhile, Ye Ning was busy with the restaurant and wasn’t home during the day.
Upon returning in the evening, she got out of the car and noticed the lights at home were on.
She wasn’t home, and the housekeeper had already left work, so why were the lights on?
Ye Ning frowned, her first thought was that a burglar had broken in.
Holding her phone, she was ready to call the police at any moment.
Meanwhile, she cautiously approached the door.
She discovered that the fingerprint lock was intact, with no signs of forced entry.
Ye Ning remembered that her phone was connected to the home’s surveillance system.
Allowing her to see anyone passing by the entrance every day.
If someone lingered at the door, the surveillance camera would automatically record it and upload it to the app.
So, Ye Ning opened the app on her phone to check the day’s records.
The moment she looked, Ye Ning was stunned.
It turned out to be Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen!
Weren’t they supposed to be in B City?
Why had they returned?
Ye Ning immediately opened the door and went inside.
As soon as she entered, she heard Xu Huizhen’s voice in the living room, nagging and swearing, "She better not think she can get money from us."
"I tell you, don’t even think about asking Ning Ning for money!" Xu Huizhen said, "Ye Fei herself has no ambition, why should Ning Ning pay for her?"
"It’s not like I don’t feel sorry for her," Xu Huizhen said earnestly to Ye Dezhang, "I’ve already told her, if worse comes to worst, she can come back home. Living here would save her a lot of money."
"That way, she wouldn’t need to pay for living expenses and could just focus on earning money," Xu Huizhen said, "It’s her own lack of judgment that she doesn’t want to come back."
The more Ye Ning listened, the more something felt off. Xu Huizhen was talking so ardently that she didn’t hear Ye Ning come in.
Ye Ning walked straight in: "Dad, Mom, why are you back?"
"It’s all because of that Ye Fei," Xu Huizhen was about to start cursing again.
"Right, didn’t Ye Fei say she was going to see you today? Since you met her, why are you back? Where’s Ye Fei?" Ye Ning looked around, "Did Ye Fei come back with you?"
Otherwise, why would they return?
"No, Ye Fei didn’t come back." Xu Huizhen was still puzzled at the moment.
"You have no idea, it’s a good thing we left quickly. She even had the audacity to ask us for money, asking for 500,000 right off the bat! Is she crazy?" Xu Huizhen said loudly, "I don’t know if she’s crazy, but I’m definitely not."
"There’s no way I could give her 500,000, so I rushed back home with your dad."
"And, that Shi Jiumei is a liar! Ye Fei is completely broke! The place she’s staying at is terrible, just an attic. The kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom are all crammed into one room, it’s not a place fit for a human to live." Having lived in a villa for so long, Xu Huizhen had grown accustomed to disdaining ordinary residences.
However, these words made Ye Dezhang feel extremely uncomfortable.
The environment where Ye Fei was living, upon reflection, was indeed too harsh.
Xu Huizhen knew this and could even say it was unfit for a human.
She also knew Ye Fei wasn’t living well.
But how did she not know to help Ye Fei?
"Not only is she broke, but she even wanted to ask us for money," Xu Huizhen sneered, "Does she take us for fools?"
"Wait a minute," Ye Ning interrupted Xu Huizhen’s words, "This all sounds so chaotic."
"Mom, don’t say things without a start or an end. Start from the beginning," Ye Ning said, worried Xu Huizhen would make a mess of it again, "Start from when you arrived in B City, and tell me everything that happened in detail, in order of time."
"Oh, alright." Xu Huizhen started from the beginning.
Because she occasionally inserted insults about Ye Fei.
It thus took her almost four hours to finish explaining.
Even then, Ye Ning had learned to anticipate later, stopping Xu Huizhen whenever she seemed about to start cursing Ye Fei, reminding her to continue.
If not, with Xu Huizhen’s speed, who knew when she would finish.
Finally, when Xu Huizhen finished speaking.
Ye Ning slapped the sofa: "You were tricked!"
"Ye Fei must have lied to you!" Ye Ning said, "She just wanted to scare you away!"
"Impossible!" Xu Huizhen asserted, "She made a very valid point."
"Shi Jiumei is as famous as her, but look at Shi Jiumei, stingy like a beggar. She even wanted to earn a little ticket money from us. If she were so rich, making so much money, would she need to do that?"
"She made Ye Fei sound so wealthy, but what about herself? She’s at the same level as Ye Fei; if Ye Fei is so rich, why is she so poor?" Xu Huizhen thought her analysis made perfect sense.
"True poverty can’t be faked, nor can true wealth be," Xu Huizhen said, "Look at Shi Jiumei, does she look like she’s wealthy?"
Ye Ning frowned and thought for a while.
It must be said that Shi Jiumei’s behavior was indeed very suspicious.
Ye Ning couldn’t imagine that Shi Jiumei had been blacklisted by Zhao Gushen.
That’s why she was so downtrodden.
Because in Ye Ning’s view, Shi Jiumei had only offended Ye Fei.
And even if Zhao Gushen wanted to punish Shi Jiumei, it should have been enough after one punishment; he wouldn’t continuously keep an eye on her.
After all, who was Zhao Gushen?
How would he have the free time to keep watching Shi Jiumei every day?
Moreover, Ye Ning didn’t know the relationship between Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei.
