Chapter 1262: Why Join the Fun?

Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Why Join the Fun?

"Dad, how is it? Did Ye Fei come to see you?" Ye Ning asked.

"No." Ye Dezhang said in a deep voice.

Ye Ning immediately complained, "She is really outrageous now! You have always been the best to her, and it’s one thing that she normally doesn’t visit you. But knowing you got hurt and are in the hospital, she still doesn’t come back."

"Dad, now you’ve seen her true colors, right?" Ye Ning quickly added, "Even though you are fine now, Ye Fei doesn’t know that. In her view, something serious has happened to you, but she still won’t come to see you."

"That’s not true." Ye Dezhang said solemnly, "She and Xiao Mo were frightened, and she did specifically ask about me and only didn’t come because she knew I’m fine. She needs to stay at home to take care of Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo was scared and can’t be away from her."

"Speaking of which, I thought you just sent someone to stop Ye Fei. How could you do something so excessive!" Ye Dezhang questioned.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Don’t play dumb! Ye Fei showed me the video from her dashboard camera! Watching it, I felt really scared. Those people surrounded the car, and if the police hadn’t arrived, it looked like they could have lifted the car and taken it away!"

"It was scary just watching the video, not to mention that Ye Fei and Xiao Mo experienced that fear firsthand." Ye Dezhang said, "I thought you just wanted people to block her from competing, but I didn’t expect you would have people directly harm them!"

"What harm did I cause?" Ye Ning argued, "You think stopping her is that easy? Just standing in front of her and telling her not to compete is enough?"

"I didn’t have anyone harm her; they just surrounded her car to prevent her from leaving. Did you see her get hurt? Did her son get hurt? If we didn’t do that, how could we stop her?"

"Whatever I do is wrong, she just gets a little scared, and you’re all distressed." Ye Ning said coldly.

"I am not..." Ye Dezhang denied.

"Seems like you didn’t get her to come see you." Ye Ning said.

Ye Dezhang fell silent.

"Forget it, I didn’t expect you to succeed anyway. Besides, the competition is over, deceiving her to come now is pointless." Ye Ning said.

"Then why did you ask me to call her?" Ye Dezhang asked.

"Just wanted to show you that in Ye Fei’s mind, you’re nothing, she doesn’t care about you at all." Ye Ning sneered, "But who knew, you’re so easily swayed by her. A few words and you’ve been coaxed."

"She said she was scared, and you believe it." Ye Ning mocked, "Every time she disappoints you, yet every time you forgive her."

"She was really afraid." Ye Dezhang insisted, "Even the video scared me, let alone her and Xiao Mo. Especially Xiao Mo, such a young child. Ye Ning, you truly didn’t think this through. Even if you wanted to stop Ye Fei, Xiao Mo is innocent."

"Alright." Ye Ning said impatiently, "Since it wasn’t a success, what’s the point in talking about it now?"

Ye Ning suddenly remembered something: "Since Ye Fei reported it to the police, does she suspect those people were instigated?"

"Rest assured, I’ve already tested it. Ye Fei didn’t think too much, just considered them ordinary scammers, unlucky to have encountered this." Ye Dezhang said.

"Really?" Ye Ning still felt uneasy.

Ye Fei is so thoughtful, could she really not suspect anything?

Ye Dezhang, in a very wise and composed elder’s tone, said, "Really, just relax. You always say I’m biased towards Ye Fei, but actually, you two are equally important to me, I’m not biased. I don’t want her to know what you’ve done, so I hid it for you and also tested her."

Ye Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

***

Ye Fei didn’t care about what Ye Ning was imagining again.

Now, Ye Ning feels to her probably similar to how Zhao Guqing feels to Zhao Gushen.

Because she had more time in the afternoon, Ye Fei took her time to slowly simmer the broth.

She could extract more essence from the soup, definitely making it taste better than during the morning competition.

While the soup was simmering, Ye Fei continued to prepare other dishes.

At that moment, she received a call from Li Xiaoyun.

"Ye Fei! We heard you won the competition." Just as she answered the phone, she heard the joyful voice of Li Xiaoyun.

"It’s all of us," Ye Fei said, "We’ve held onto a badge, hopefully reducing some pressure for our attack team in the finals."

"Fantastic, such great news, shouldn’t we celebrate a bit?" Li Xiaoyun immediately suggested.

"Celebrate?" Ye Fei laughed and asked, "How do you want to celebrate for me?"

"Let’s come over to your place tonight." Li Xiaoyun said.

"You all?" Ye Fei said while cutting vegetables, "You and Uncle Four together?"

"Of course, I can’t just leave him alone." Li Xiaoyun said.

Ye Fei thought to herself that Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli were now really inseparable.

"It seems you’re adapting to married life quite well." Ye Fei smiled and said.

"Hmm... It’s been quite easy to adapt." Li Xiaoyun said contentedly.

"I actually do have plans to celebrate tonight, what time will you get here?" Ye Fei asked.

"We’ll come after work, if we’re quick, it’ll be around 7 p.m." Li Xiaoyun calculated.

"Sure, it’ll be around the same time Gu Shen gets home, so I’ll be waiting for you."

Ye Fei received Li Xiaoyun’s call.

Zhao Gushen didn’t know about it yet, eager to finish work and hurry home.

Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli surprisingly arrived even before Zhao Gushen.

As Zhao Gushen entered, he saw a pair of men’s and a pair of women’s shoes by the entrance.

Why are there guests at this time?

It seems they plan to stay for dinner?

What kind of guests are so thick-skinned, to still be here when it’s dinner time and not leave.

Zhao Gushen grumbled as he changed his shoes.

Ye Fei was busy in the kitchen, not having heard Zhao Gushen’s voice earlier.

She heard him now and quickly came out of the kitchen and went to the entrance.

"There are guests at home?" Zhao Gushen asked Ye Fei.

"Uncle Four and Xiao Yun are here." Ye Fei said with a smile.

"Why are they here at this time?" Zhao Gushen wondered.

Instead of cherishing their alone time, why are they here to join the fun?

"Haven’t they heard I won the competition? So they came especially to see me." Ye Fei said.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

"Or maybe they specifically want to taste your winning competition dishes." Zhao Gushen knew them well.

"Anyway, I was planning to make a full table anyway." Ye Fei said, "There are only three of us here, cooking too much would be a waste, but cooking too little, and I feel unsatisfied. Xiao Yun and Uncle Four coming really help me a lot."

Seeing Zhao Gushen still reluctant, Ye Fei urged him, "Go, greet the guests."
