Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Uninvited Guest_1
Upon arrival at his in-laws’ place, Ye Fei found a Lamborghini arrogantly parked right in the middle of the road.
The car forced other vehicles to either drive with one side on the curb or take a detour.
Many drivers, fearing they might scratch the luxury car, simply chose to go around.
Ye Fei certainly didn’t care about that; using his superb driving skills, he skillfully maneuvered past it and parked in a spot.
Su Yueru glanced back at the luxury car and couldn’t help complaining, "People like that really have poor manners. Just because they have money, they park however they want, without any consideration for the trouble it causes others."
Ye Fei laughed, "Let it be, people without manners are everywhere, and such people are bound to be taught a lesson sooner or later."
The family of three went upstairs.
Opening the door was Ye Fei’s mother-in-law, Liang Xin.
Upon seeing her daughter, she couldn’t close her mouth in excitement.
But her smile faded slightly when she saw her daughter was accompanied by her granddaughter.
And when she spotted Ye Fei trailing behind, Liang Xin’s face turned downright gloomy.
"Ye Fei? What are you doing here?"
Ye Fei was taken aback.
He thought to himself, what is she talking about? Family dinner, family dinner, am I not family or what?
"Yueru, didn’t Mom tell you to come by yourself? We have an honored guest today. Just look at you, dragging along your whole family like this."
Su Yueru was speechless too.
"Mom, that’s really something. Even if it were the emperor who came, what does that have to do with bringing my husband and child?"
Liang Xin was at a loss for words.
She glared fiercely at Ye Fei and muttered, "An eyesore!"
"Auntie, is it Yueru who’s back?"
At that moment, a strange man’s voice came from the living room.
Su Yueru was immediately taken aback and turned to leave.
"Eh, eh? Yueru, where are you going?"
Su Yueru’s face was clouded with anger, "Mom! Is it Zhu Ping? How could you do this? How many times do I have to tell you? I’m not eating this meal, husband, Little Ye, let’s go."
"You get back here!"
Liang Xin got mad too, grabbing hold of Su Yueru’s arm.
"You’re actually defying the heavens now. If you walk out just like that, aren’t you slapping your parents in the face? Where do you leave your parents’ dignity?"
"It’s not easy for young Zhu to come back from abroad just for a meal at our place, is it? After all, you two were childhood sweethearts, can’t you give a little face? Even if he’s just a common friend, you can’t just turn your back and leave like that!"
Su Yueru sneered coldly, "You want face, so you can disregard my feelings?"
Hearing this, Ye Fei figured it out.
Turns out his in-laws were at it again, trying to set his wife up with someone else?
The suitor had even come to their doorstep, and leaving now would seem as if they were afraid of him, wouldn’t it?
"Wife, since it’s an old friend, why not meet him? Leaving like this would indeed be impolite."
"Husband..."
"Be good, listen to me."
Ye Fei smiled and winked at her.
Little Ye also cleverly sided with her mother, "Mommy, listen to Daddy!"
Liang Xin patted Ye Fei’s shoulder, "Ah! At last, you’ve said something sensible."
Ye Fei smirked but said nothing.
The three of them entered the living room.
The table was laden with all kinds of exquisite delicacies.
A twenty-something-year-old with a slicked-back hairstyle sat confidently at the head of the table.
He acted as if he were the host himself.
This man was Zhu Ping.
And Su Wanli, the head of the family, was meekly attending to him with a flattering smile on his face.
"What’s taking so long just to enter a room!"
Su Wanli said impatiently, his gaze landing on Ye Fei with an added annoyance.
"Yueru, come look, do you still recognize who this is?"
A cold smile crossed Su Yueru’s lips.
She could recognize that man even if he turned to ash.
Zhu Ping stood up and smiled like a gentleman, "Ruru, long time no see, you’ve become more beautiful."
Flirting with someone’s wife right in front of her husband and calling her by a nickname was a blatant provocation.
Ye Fei remained silent with a smile.
Because he knew his wife wouldn’t hold back in situations like these.
Indeed.
Su Yueru took Ye Fei’s arm and snuggled up close to him, smiling sweetly and contentedly.
"Mr. Zhu, please mind your manners. You might call me by my full name, Su Yueru, or Mrs. Ye, since we’re hardly acquainted. It’s strange to use a nickname."
"Also, thank you for the compliment; I am indeed getting prettier. But there’s no helping it, you see. A happy family life, a loving husband, and an adorable daughter make it hard not to be beautiful."
"Uh... this..."
After Su Yueru finished her speech, the whole living room plunged into an awkward silence.
Zhu Ping was like a statue, petrified on the spot, his mouth twitching.
Su Wanli and Liang Xin were also frozen with fixed grins, unsure what to do.
Ye Fei smiled inwardly, thinking to himself, ’That’s my wife, truly the cream of the crop.’
Even Little Ye seemed to understand what was happening, gripping her parents’ hands tightly, her big eyes filled with hostility as she glared at Zhu Ping.
"Husband, what are you daydreaming about? Come sit down," said Su Yueru while helping Ye Fei take off his jacket, acting every bit the dutiful wife and loving mother.
Su Wanli was fuming and hastily offered Zhu Ping a way out, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Yueru! Here! Sit here! It’s been years since you’ve seen an old friend; shouldn’t you keep him company for a few drinks?"
Su Wanli pointed to the chair between himself and Zhu Ping, commanding her.
"Dad, Mr. Zhu, sorry, but I’m recovering from a serious illness and can’t drink. I’d better not join you and cause any trouble. I’ll just sit beside my husband."
Little Ye also smartly clung to her mother, "Mommy has to stay with Daddy and Little Ye too!"
