Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Relatives_1
Ye Fei’s face gradually turned cold upon hearing this.
He hadn’t expected something like this to happen.
"I’ll go have a look tomorrow, I want to see who dares to make my daughter unhappy."
At that moment, Ye Fei’s phone suddenly rang.
When Ye Fei saw the string of numbers, he was slightly taken aback.
"Second Uncle?" Ye Fei answered the call.
On the other end of the phone was a gruff voice, "Fei? You little rascal, finally picking up your uncle’s call!"
It really was his second uncle.
Ye Fei had lost his parents at a young age and grew up eating the Bai Family’s food.
Second Uncle Ye Shoutian had also looked after him for a while.
"Second Uncle, what’s up?" Ye Fei asked.
Ye Shoutian was clearly annoyed, "Can’t I call you without a reason? Listen to how you talk!"
"Your aunt and I, along with your cousin, are coming to the city to see you. We just got off the train, and we’re all strangers here, so come pick us up."
Ye Fei raised his eyebrows.
Why had his second uncle come to the city?
"Where are you? I’ll come right away."
After agreeing on a location, Ye Fei made another call to Wang Jianglong.
"Prepare a car for me."
The operational capability of the War Department was astonishing; when Ye Fei stepped out of the house, an Audi Q7 was already parked at the door.
Ye Fei drove to the train station.
At the train station exit.
Ye Shoutian lit a cigarette, then spat a thick glob of phlegm next to his feet, feeling utterly content.
"Dad, will Ye Fei really come to pick us up? Isn’t he just a live-in son-in-law? Where would he get a car?"
The speaker was a slightly overweight youth with long, dyed yellow hair.
"Ye An, you ought to know, I’ve looked after Ye Fei for so long, I’m practically his half-father!"
"Even if he has to push a tricycle today, he’s got to take our whole family back."
Next to him, Ma Xiuqin scoffed, "Look at you, always bragging. Ye Fei eats the food I cook and wears the clothes I mend. What’s it got to do with you?"
Ye Shoutian got upset and retorted, "What are you nagging about? I’m his uncle! Is he not going to listen to me?"
"People in the city talk about repaying even the smallest drop of kindness like a spring gushing forth. Could my nephew ignore my words?"
Ye An was stunned and said blankly, "Dad, didn’t Ye Fei leave that house of his and a few dozen acres of land to us?"
"What if because of this, he doesn’t listen to you?"
Slap!
Ye Shoutian, flaring with anger, slapped his son on the back of the head.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That was left to me by your elder uncle! What does it have to do with Ye Fei?"
Ye Shoutian was confident, "Anyway, he’s a live-in son-in-law now, turned into a rich man."
"Your wedding, how can he, as your brother, not contribute some money?"
Beep-beep!
The car horn sounded twice.
The family, leaving their luggage, all stood dumbfounded looking towards the side of the road.
Ye An sprang to his feet and shouted, "Beep what? Are we blocking your way, damn it?"
"Beep again, I dare you. I’ll knock your head off!"
The car window slowly rolled down.
And then the family was stunned.
Ye Fei?
"Holy shit, Ye Fei?"
Ye An was astounded, "You’re driving a four-ring car now?"
He circled the Audi several times, hardly believing it.
But actually, Ye An didn’t even know what car the four rings denoted, having only heard that four rings were impressive.
After greeting his uncle and aunt, Ye Fei replied, "It’s someone else’s, just borrowed it for a drive."
Ye An immediately laughed, "I knew it, how could you, a live-in son-in-law, afford to drive a car worth seven or eight hundred thousand."
"This must be your wife’s, huh! Wow, you really made it big being a live-in son-in-law, even getting to drive a four-ring car!"
Ye An, calling him a live-in son-in-law again and again, clearly didn’t care about Ye Fei’s feelings.
At this time, Ma Xiuqin also grabbed Ye Fei’s clothes, marveling,
"Well done, Ye Fei. You’re dressed all smart and properly now."
"Do you remember, when you were little and had no clothes to wear, running around the yard bare-butt?"
Ye Fei didn’t remember that particular incident and just chuckled softly.
As for these relatives, he was actually quite indifferent.
In the past, taking advantage of Ye Fei’s youth, the family took his father’s house, land, and a cow, claiming they would look after them until he came of age.
But Ye Fei had long understood that those things were never coming back.
Still, they were relatives after all. They came all this way to see him, so he could only smile and keep them company.
"Get in the car, we’re going to my place."
Ye Fei motioned for them to get in and started loading the luggage.
Turning around, he saw Ye An had already climbed into the driver’s seat.
"You sit in the back, Ye Fei, I’ll drive!"
Ye Fei knew this kid was trouble when he started to laugh and asked, "Do you have a license?"
"Yes!"
Twisting his neck irritably, Ye An snapped, "Don’t look down on people! Why shouldn’t a country bumpkin have a license?"
Beside him, Ye Shoutian scolded, "Ye Fei, you really consider yourself a city person now."
"In front of your own family, drop that damn pretense and let Ye An drive! He’s very steady behind the wheel!"
Resigned, Ye Fei had no choice but to sit in the back.
Sometimes, Ye Fei harbored a faint hope for this only remaining blood connection.
But at this moment, he realized he had been wishful thinking.
Ye An caressed the leather seats, thrilled.
"Damn, they’re even made of leather!"
"What exactly does your wife’s family do? They’re so rich?"
Ye Fei laughed it off, simply saying they were in business, and he didn’t elaborate further.
But in the eyes of Ye Shoutian and Ma Xiuqin, this was nothing but pretentiousness, and it made them unhappy again.
