Chapter 121: Chapter 120: Ning Ruoxi’s ’Private Revenge’ (Part 1)
Around noon, Ye Ling had already finished preparing a meal, so he drove to the airport to pick up Ye Feng. Naturally, Ning Ruoxi went along with him.
"Ye Ling, do you think your father might not like me?" Ning Ruoxi asked as she sat in the car, flipping down the sun visor. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, constantly adjusting her hair.
After all, it was her first time meeting Ye Ling’s father. She was naturally very concerned and wanted to make a good first impression.
"Don’t worry. My girl is so beautiful, he’ll definitely be satisfied."
Ye Ling said nonchalantly, steering with one hand.
"Really?"
Ning Ruoxi felt a lot more at ease when she heard that.
When the two of them arrived at the airport, Ye Feng hadn’t arrived yet, so Ye Ling parked the car and got out with Ning Ruoxi to wait.
After about fifteen minutes, the plane Ye Feng was on landed.
"Dad!"
Ye Ling spotted his old man in the crowd at a glance and immediately led Ning Ruoxi over.
Ye Ling hadn’t seen Ye Feng since his last trip to East Asia. So, upon seeing the figure he hadn’t laid eyes on in over a month, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
"This must be my daughter-in-law, right?"
However, Ye Feng completely ignored Ye Ling and looked directly at Ning Ruoxi beside him, a cheerful smile spreading across his face.
"Hey, Dad, did you really come all this way just to forget about your own son?"
Ye Ling couldn’t help but roll his eyes in exasperation.
"What nonsense are you spouting."
Ye Feng immediately glared at Ye Ling. "You little punk, you’ve been back in the country for so long and didn’t even think to give me a call. And you have the nerve to complain?"
"Er... I’ve been busy, you know."
Ye Ling was a little embarrassed.
"Hello, Uncle. My name is Ning Ruoxi. You can just call me Ruoxi."
Ning Ruoxi said sweetly, then handed the bag she was carrying to Ye Feng. "Uncle, this is a gift I prepared for you."
When Ye Feng heard Ning Ruoxi speak, the smile immediately returned to his face. After taking the gift from her, his expression became slightly serious as he said, "Oh my, you shouldn’t have bought a gift. What a waste of money. Don’t buy anything next time, you hear?"
At that moment, Ye Feng looked at Ning Ruoxi and found himself more and more satisfied with his daughter-in-law the longer he looked.
’Not bad. This punk son of mine finally did something right, finding me such a beautiful daughter-in-law. I don’t have to worry about him carrying on the family line anymore!’
"I wonder who’s the biological child here."
Ye Ling muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?"
Ye Feng immediately shot Ye Ling a hostile glare.
"Nothing, nothing! Let’s get in the car. Ruoruo made you lunch at home; she’s just waiting for you so we can eat," Ye Ling said, quickly changing the subject.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly taken aback, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
’Based on Ning Ruoxi’s clothes, looks, and aura, she’s definitely a young lady from a wealthy family, or at least not from an ordinary one. An ordinary family couldn’t possibly raise a daughter like this.’
’So, the fact that Ning Ruoxi could cook was quite surprising to him.’
"Yes, Uncle. Should we head home now?"
Ning Ruoxi added.
"Alright, let’s go home."
Ye Feng’s attitude toward Ning Ruoxi was exceptionally good—at least, Ye Ling had never received such treatment.
Once in the car, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Punk, this car of yours must be pretty expensive, huh?"
"It’s alright. It gets the job done."
Ye Ling replied casually.
Seeing this, Ye Feng didn’t press the matter.
’This punk has really been getting more and more mysterious lately. First, he sent me 100,000 yuan, and then I saw all that news about him online...’
’But, as a father, seeing his son become successful is naturally gratifying. As long as he hasn’t gone down the wrong path, I won’t meddle too much.’
’Young people need to go out and make their own way in the world, after all.’
"Are you two living together now?"
Ye Feng asked, sitting in the car and looking at Ning Ruoxi with a cheerful smile.
"Yes, I guess so... My cousin, Luo Yue, also lives with us because she’s a student at Modu University, too," Ning Ruoxi nodded.
"This kid doesn’t bully you, does he?"
Ye Feng asked again.
"Dad."
Ye Ling, who was driving, couldn’t take it anymore.
’He really couldn’t stand it. This whole time, it was as if he was the outsider, while Ning Ruoxi and Ye Feng seemed like a real father and daughter.’
’This is unbelievable!’
"You, kid, shut up."
Ye Feng glared at Ye Ling, then turned to Ning Ruoxi with a smile. "Ruoxi, if this punk dares to bully you, you just tell me. I promise I’ll teach him a lesson for you."
Hearing this, Ning Ruoxi’s eyes curved into smiling crescents.
"Uncle, Ye Ling is actually very good to me. He takes great care of me,"
Ning Ruoxi said.
Hearing this, Ye Ling, who was driving, finally started to feel a bit better.
"But..."
But in the next moment, Ning Ruoxi paused.
"But what?"
Ye Feng’s expression immediately turned serious.
"Oh, it’s nothing really. It’s just that Ye Ling always likes to go out and attract other girls," Ning Ruoxi said, shooting a glance at Ye Ling.
"You punk, you’ve gotten bold, have you? You have such a beautiful girlfriend and you’re still out there chasing other women?"
Ye Feng immediately glared and laid into Ye Ling with a scolding.
’I look completely innocent,’ Ye Ling thought. ’When have I ever chased other women?’
"You little..."
Ye Ling turned his head, saw the sly smile on Ning Ruoxi’s face, and couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
’This damned woman is definitely getting her revenge.’
But when Ning Ruoxi saw Ye Ling’s glare, she wasn’t scared at all. Instead, she returned it with an incredibly smug look.
’Hmph!’
’You big jerk. You bullied me yesterday, and now someone’s here to put you in your place, huh?’
"Alright, Dad, she’s just teasing you, don’t believe her. Anyway, what brings you to Modu? How did you have the time?"
Ye Ling immediately chose to change the subject. If this kept up, he’d probably be a dead man at the hands of his own father.
"There’s a company project that requires me to go to Peng City. I was just passing through, so I came to see my daughter-in-law. I have to leave tonight,"
Ye Feng said casually.
"That’s great."
Ye Ling immediately breathed an internal sigh of relief.
’Damn it, if Ye Feng were really staying for a while, his life would probably be hell.’
’After all... given Ye Feng’s current doting attitude toward Ning Ruoxi, as long as his father was here, he’d never be able to stand up for himself.’
"’That’s great?’ What? You’re that eager for me to leave?"
Ye Feng immediately looked over with a hostile gaze.
"Not at all, Dad, you misheard. I said, ’That’s too bad...’"
Ye Ling immediately corrected himself.
