Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
Chapter 695: Sudden Blame Out of Nowhere
Ye Fei was about to pick up the food box to find Zhao Gushen.
Unexpectedly, she had just bid farewell to the employees of Changping and walked a few steps when someone called her, "Miss Ye!"
Ye Fei was surprised.
This was the first time inside Changping Group that she heard a title different from ’President’s Wife’. It actually caught her attention.
Ye Fei instinctively stopped and turned her head toward the direction of the voice.
She saw a pair of unfamiliar middle-aged couple walking over, followed by a young man.
She did recognize the young man, not a close friend, but they had met once.
It was undoubtedly Liu Sixu.
Ye Feixin wondered what these three people were looking for her for.
Liu Sixu’s face still showed a bit of awkwardness, and he avoided her gaze somewhat.
"Miss Ye." Liu Pingyuan trotted over to Ye Fei and called out again.
"Mr. Liu!" Before Ye Fei could respond, another voice rang out.
Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Manager He from the PR department, jogging over.
Manager He’s figure was indeed somewhat stocky.
Seeing him jog over, if not like a small hill, then like a boulder, was indeed very noticeable.
"Manager He," Liu Pingyuan called, maintaining patience.
"Mr. Liu, how could I hear you calling our President’s Wife ’Miss Ye’ just now?" Manager He said with a sly look on his face.
Liu Pingyuan: "..."
So was he really running all the way over here just because of how he addressed her?
Was it necessary?
Coincidentally, Manager He had come down to buy a cup of coffee and just happened to see Liu Pingyuan stop Ye Fei.
Manager He felt uneasy.
How could their President’s Wife be entangled by Liu Pingyuan on their Changping turf?
Zhao Gushen had left the Liu Family trio hanging in the lobby of Changping Company, and this was known to the entire company.
As a qualified employee of Changping, Manager He was determined not to let Ye Fei suffer from being entangled by Liu Pingyuan here.
Liu Pingyuan was also well aware of the saying that a wise man understands the times, and hearing the Changping employees repeatedly call her President’s Wife, he immediately changed his salutation: "Mrs. Zhao."
Indeed, not many people called her that; Ye Fei felt a little uncomfortable hearing it but didn’t refute. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"May I ask what you need me for?" Ye Fei asked, actually feeling anxious inside and wanting to quickly deliver the lunch to Zhao Gushen.
She didn’t want to waste time with them here.
"I brought my disreputable son to find President Zhao to apologize to you. But President Zhao is busy with meetings and hasn’t found the time to see us," Liu Pingyuan explained.
"However, we originally intended to apologize to you as well. I didn’t expect to run into you here directly. This disgraceful son of mine is outrageous. After doing something wrong, he went home and hid it from us, so I only found out today that he was previously disrespectful to you," Liu Pingyuan said.
At this point, not only Manager He but also many Changping employees passing by saw Liu Pingyuan talking to Ye Fei, and consciously tried to minimize their presence, watching from a distance.
On the one hand, it was to enjoy the spectacle, but on the other hand, it was to ensure Ye Fei’s safety.
If the Liu Family pestered Ye Fei and caused her trouble, they could immediately intervene to rescue her.
Otherwise, if the President found out that the President’s Wife was harassed and bullied in their company, wouldn’t he go crazy?
Besides, Changping employees were taking very spontaneous actions, and when the security saw this, they also followed along.
Someone quickly called Xiao Ruofeng to inform him that Liu Pingyuan was bothering Ye Fei.
Poor Liu Pingyuan hadn’t spoken a few words to Ye Fei before getting blamed for bothering her.
As a result, before Liu Pingyuan had finished speaking, he realized there seemed to be more people around.
Although no one had approached, and only Manager He was beside Ye Fei, those people scattered around the lobby were intentionally or unintentionally looking this way, giving Liu Pingyuan quite a bit of pressure.
Liu Pingyuan wondered what was wrong with this group of people. Why did they look like they were on guard, as if he was a thief, just because he said a couple of words to Ye Fei? Was it necessary?
However, because of the sudden presence of so many eyes and ears watching and listening, Liu Pingyuan dared not speak too clearly.
He didn’t dare say that previously Liu Sixu offended Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen because he was interested in Ye Fei; he only dared to say Liu Sixu was disrespectful to Ye Fei.
As for how he was disrespectful, that was left to individual speculation.
If he dared to reveal the truth of that evening, probably no amount of apologizing would help.
Zhao Gushen wouldn’t let them go.
In this respect, Liu Pingyuan had thought things through quite clearly, much more measured than Liu Sixu.
"As soon as I found out today, I came with him right away, because we couldn’t contact you on your end. So we thought of going through President Zhao to reach you, hoping President Zhao would give us a chance to let my disgraceful son sincerely apologize to you in person," Liu Pingyuan said again.
Ye Fei curiously asked, "Why did Liu Sixu hide it and not say anything before?"
Liu Pingyuan awkwardly said, "This kid is too timid. Although he seems arrogant and flamboyant, he’s actually very timid. Whenever he encounters trouble, he shrinks back and doesn’t dare to take responsibility. Out of fear, he didn’t dare to say anything."
Ye Fei nodded as if realizing, "I see. So why is he suddenly brave enough to speak now? Not afraid anymore?"
Liu Pingyuan felt a bit choked and awkwardly explained, "Because President Zhao took action against our company, I knew President Zhao wanted to teach us a lesson, to make us aware and ensure this kid wouldn’t dare to act recklessly again. Our company had issues, so I quickly looked for the cause, wondering where we might have offended President Zhao. The kid realized he couldn’t hide it anymore and finally told me."
"I was truly furious, not expecting this brat to be so arrogant and reckless outside, lacking any sense of propriety. Taking advantage of a little family background, he misbehaved outside!"
"Sigh!" Liu Pingyuan sighed deeply, "It’s also my fault for being too busy with the company all these years, so I never had much time to properly accompany him and teach him. As a result, he grew up with this kind of personality."
"His mother spoiled him, plus he behaves completely differently at home compared to outside. At home, he acts like a decent person, so we didn’t know he behaved like this outside. This matter came to light only because of this incident."
"So as soon as I learned of the situation, I brought him over immediately," Liu Pingyuan made it very clear.
In the past few days, the lack of response wasn’t because they were arrogant or felt that this wasn’t a big deal, nor because they looked down on Ye Fei.
