Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 653: She Never Planned to Give You a Single Cent
Zhao Gushen said pitifully, extremely aggrieved, "Why are you going back on your word? I am so heartbroken."
Ye Fei: "..."
Zhao Gushen seemed like a big Alaskan dog, shedding tears of grievance in front of her.
Ye Fei thought about what she said earlier and wondered if she was being a bit heartless.
Thus, under Zhao Gushen’s pitiful gaze, Ye Fei softly murmured, "Hu... husband..."
This made Zhao Gushen ecstatic, and he forcefully sealed Ye Fei’s lips, "Call me again."
***
Ye Ning, meanwhile, returned to the hotel where she was staying with Xu Huizhen and Ye Dezhang, without even taking the time to tidy up her own room, and went straight to Xu Huizhen and Ye Dezhang’s room.
Xu Huizhen opened the door for her, and once Ye Ning entered, Xu Huizhen hurriedly asked, "Ning Ning, how did it go? What’s the situation tonight? How did Ye Fei react? Is she scared and panicking now?"
Speaking of this, Ye Ning’s face turned icy.
Whether Ye Fei was scared or panicking, Ye Ning didn’t know.
All she knew was she was panicking, having offended Ye Fei and being shunned by Liu Sixu.
After reflecting all the way about Liu Sixu, Ye Ning knew she couldn’t rely on anything.
In the end, after all those efforts, none of it proved useful.
And on Ye Fei’s side, she happened to have Zhao Gushen. Even Liu Sixu feared Zhao Gushen, showing that Zhao Gushen’s threats were not merely empty words.
Ye Ning couldn’t help but worry if Ye Fei said something to Zhao Gushen, would Zhao Gushen retaliate against her?
Retaliate against her family, attack her, and destroy her painstakingly established restaurant?
For now, Ye Ning held onto just one hope, that Zhao Gushen seemed to look down on Ye Fei’s background, so she could only hope his feelings for Ye Fei were ordinary and wouldn’t cause trouble for her because of Ye Fei.
As for Zhao Gushen standing up for Ye Fei and retaliating against Liu Sixu,
Ye Ning wondered whether it was because Zhao Gushen really liked Ye Fei.
Or maybe it was related to Zhao Gushen’s pride as a man, unrelated to Ye Fei.
No matter if his wife was Ye Fei or someone else, if such a thing happened, if Liu Sixu hurt his pride, Zhao Gushen naturally wouldn’t be happy.
Retaliating against Liu Sixu wasn’t for Ye Fei, but for himself and the Zhao Family’s dignity.
If it were as she thought, then Zhao Gushen probably wouldn’t retaliate against her for Ye Fei’s sake.
But Ye Ning seemed quite optimistic, analyzing everything in a way beneficial to herself.
She forgot that if Zhao Gushen’s feelings for Ye Fei were indeed so ordinary, why would he marry Ye Fei?
After all, if it were just an ordinary marriage, why marry her?
Why not marry someone of equal status and reduce unnecessary trouble, avoiding being constantly speculated upon?
"Ning Ning, say something! What’s going on?" Xu Huizhen urged.
Ye Ning snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and said, "Mom, Dad, I told you, you’ve been deceived."
"Last time you visited, Ye Fei told you how bad her life was in B City, how poor she was, and then asked us for 500,000," Ye Ning said coldly.
"But in reality, does she even look at 500,000 now? Even 5 million, 50 million, she wouldn’t bat an eye," Ye Ning sneered coldly, "Ye Fei has really climbed high!"
"What do you mean?" Even Ye Dezhang’s attention was captured.
Ye Ning was shaking with jealousy.
If she could marry into the Zhao Family, marry Zhao Gushen, even if it meant being bound by the Zhao Family, unable to do many things, or even sever ties with the family, what of it?
If it were her, she would be willing!
Ye Ning spoke with jealousy, "Mom, Dad, do you know? Ye Fei, she’s married into the Zhao Family."
"Zhao Family? What Zhao Family?" Xu Huizhen didn’t think of the Eight Great Families.
"The Zhao Family of the Eight Great Families," Ye Ning said, "And she’s married Zhao Gushen! The heir of the Zhao Family! The current CEO of Changping Group, the future head of the Zhao Family clan!"
"Previously, while watching the competition live, Shi Jiumei and Ding Ruyun both mentioned how Ye Fei progressed through the competition relying on connections, relying on back doors."
"But no one believed them at the time, everyone thought Shi Jiumei and Ding Ruyun were wronging Ye Fei. It was due to their lack of ability, so they tried to pull Ye Fei down."
"But in reality, who could have thought that Ye Fei is Zhao Gushen’s wife? The Changping Competition is held by the Changping Group. As the boss’s wife, participating in a self-organized competition, who else would take first place if not her?"
"Judges claimed fairness, that they wouldn’t score unfairly due to one’s special identity. But when facing the boss’s wife, what scores are needed? No matter how special anyone else might be, can they be more special than their boss’s wife?"
"When did this happen? When did she marry Zhao Gushen?" Ye Dezhang immediately asked.
"I asked about it," Ye Ning said.
"Last time you visited, didn’t Ye Fei play the poverty card with you? To avoid misunderstandings, I specifically asked her when she married Zhao Gushen. Do you know what Ye Fei said? She said it was quite a while ago."
"Quite a while means at least before you last visited. And even if we took a step back, even if she hadn’t married Zhao Gushen by the time you came, they must have been dating, right?"
"For someone like Zhao Gushen, flash marriage is impossible. His family wouldn’t allow him to marry hastily. Without some time of dating and understanding, how could they be assured to let him marry a woman?"
"The wife Zhao Gushen marries would be the future head mistress of the Zhao Family. If Zhao Gushen were to marry, wouldn’t the Zhao elders investigate Ye Fei? They must have understood her somewhat before agreeing."
"Which means, back then, at least they were dating. And Ye Fei, dating Zhao Gushen, saying she’s poor?" Ye Ning sneered.
"Unless she was pretending to be a wealthy heiress, spent all her money trying to keep up appearances. But how could she deceive Zhao Gushen? While dating, how could Zhao Gushen not investigate? So, this possibility doesn’t exist."
"The fact is, Ye Fei never lacked money. Last time, everything she told you was a lie. Even the house could have been a temporary arrangement by Ye Fei."
Ye Ning scoffed, "After all, being Mrs. Zhao, arranging such a house is a piece of cake, isn’t it?"
"Many things we can’t manage, things we find difficult, are simple in their eyes!"
"But even with all that money, she still lied to you. Never intended to give you a penny."
