Chapter 1536: Chapter 563: The Male Supporting Character Who Advises Kindness (Part 7)
"Beibei, what would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you right away!"
Aunt Fang was so perceptive; she instantly sensed Ye Cheeng’s displeasure.
She didn’t dare to play any tricks and hurriedly approached Ye Beibei, almost ingratiatingly.
"I noticed that tonight there seem to be shrimp and meat, so make me some braised shrimp and red-cooked pork!"
Ye Beibei saw the reactions of Ye Cheeng and Aunt Fang, and suddenly felt incredibly satisfied!
Satisfying!
It had been three years since she was brought to this villa, and this was the first time she felt this kind of elation.
Indeed, she was too foolish in the past, getting herself into dead ends!
Even though she suffered hardships and grievances, she still had to bear the reputation of being ungrateful and having a peculiar temperament.
Now is the best time; others are aggravated, and she feels jubilant!
"..." Aunt Fang’s heart was cursing Ye Beibei countless times.
She’s an aunt, only responsible for some daily chores; she isn’t a chef at all.
Though the Ye Family is a nouveau riche, the Qiu Family is a wealthy family.
As the only daughter of the Qiu Family, Qiu Wanting leads a most particular daily life.
They have a driver, a chef, and an aunt at home.
However, the driver and chef aren’t on standby 24 hours; they clock in and out daily.
Aunt Fang is the only live-in housekeeper.
Making some late-night snacks or temporarily helping to cook some noodles or stir-fry a few home dishes is no problem for Aunt Fang.
But—
Braised shrimp?
Red-cooked pork?!
Not to mention whether Aunt Fang has the skills, even if she could, it’s quite laborious and time-consuming.
Especially red-cooked pork, it can’t be done without spending one or two hours!
"Beibei, don’t eat such greasy foods late at night!"
Ye Beixuan noticed Aunt Fang’s uneasy expression, and seemed to think his sister was a bit excessive.
He quickly stepped out to kindly dissuade her.
Ye Beibei couldn’t afford to be sad anymore; she tilted her head, "Brother, you are so insincere!"
Ye Beixuan: ... How am I being insincere? I’m doing this for your own good!
"You guys eat Australian lobster and abalone at night, I just want to eat shrimp and red-cooked pork, is that not allowed?"
Ye Beibei deliberately made a pitiful look, "Brother, you can’t eat delicacies while making me eat chaff and vegetables!"
"When did I make you eat chaff and vegetables? I’m doing it for your own good, eating too greasy at night is hard to digest!"
"Brother, as someone who grew up surrounded by luxury, you naturally don’t dare eat too greasy foods because you have so much oil in your stomach!"
Ye Beibei wasn’t at all impressed by Ye Beixuan’s "for your own good," she deliberately took on the guise of a commoner, "I’m different, I haven’t eaten good things, there isn’t much oil in my stomach—"
Before Ye Beibei could continue her self-deprecation like a little rascal, Ye Cheeng couldn’t listen anymore.
Talking about Ye Beibei being a commoner; Ye Cheeng was once a special case of poverty.
Back in university days, if it weren’t for Chen Beilei, his girlfriend who supported him, he would have been eating pickles and steamed buns every meal.
"Not much oil in the stomach" pierced Ye Cheeng’s heart deeply.
Despite the wealthy life he leads now, occasionally waking from dreams at midnight, he still recalls the poverty and embarrassment of his youth.
But recalling these is not about nostalgia or sentiment.
It’s a kind of deep-rooted inferiority.
His past poverty is a scar on his heart that can’t be touched.
Now, his own children are there talking endlessly about "not much oil in the stomach!"
If they weren’t his flesh and blood, if he was sure they didn’t know of his past hardships, Ye Cheeng would have suspected they were deliberate!
"Enough! I’ve already said, this is the Ye Family, your own home, eat whatever you want! It’s not like the house doesn’t have it!"
Ye Cheeng reprimanded angrily.
After scolding his son and daughter, Ye Cheeng turned his gaze towards Aunt Fang.
He didn’t speak, but his stare was truly unfriendly.
As if saying, you’re hired by me with money, not to live here like a lord, but to work!
It’s just about making a meal, why are you making excuses, do you even want to work here?!
Aunt Fang: ...Of course I want to work!
The Ye Family is rich, the salary is high, and the hostess is generous.
Not to mention the formal salary, even if occasionally Qiu Wanting and Ye Muwan let a little slip through their fingers, it’s enough for Aunt Fang to feast.
Such a good job, she wouldn’t dare to lose it easily!
"Yes, yes! There are! Shrimp, pork belly, the house has all of it!"
Aunt Fang quickly put on a smiling face and hurried into the kitchen to get busy.
Ye Cheeng watched Aunt Fang "flee in panic" and glared at Ye Beibei: "Watch yourself too, eat less at night!"
