Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
Chapter 740: Just Say Whatever You Want
So Ye Ning saw them at a glance, without much effort to look.
Previously, whether it was at the award dinner for the top ten or going to the old house.
All she saw was Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen, interacting with the Zhao Family.
What she saw was just within that small circle.
Therefore, she hadn’t fully realized how formidable Ye Fei had become now and how different she was from her.
Ye Ning thought, she was running a restaurant and now was about to expand beyond the small Ye City.
About to open a branch in City B.
City B is no ordinary big city; it is the Capital!
She wasn’t inferior to Ye Fei in the slightest.
On the contrary, she was much more capable than Ye Fei.
Ye Fei was only relying on Zhao Gushen; without Zhao Gushen, Ye Fei would be nothing.
How else could she access such a high-class life?
Unlike her, who could attend such an important event entirely on her own skills.
These days, while waiting for this party, Ye Ning had been secretly pleased with herself.
She’d only been in City B for a few days, and she could attend such a rare event.
This party was something many people wanted to join but couldn’t.
Yet she made it.
No matter how she got there, just look at the results.
Before coming here, Ye Ning had already thought that she would stand out at the party and wouldn’t be inferior to anyone.
But now that she was actually standing here, she realized how small she felt here, with no sense of existence at all.
No one even looked at her twice, indifferent to her.
She wanted to find someone to talk to, to expand her network.
What she had imagined was so optimistic, but once she stood here, she realized how big the gap was between reality and imagination.
The guests were all gathered in threes and fives, holding champagne and chatting.
There wasn’t even room for her to join the conversation.
She didn’t know anyone, not even how to introduce herself.
It wasn’t that she was thin-skinned.
Ye Ning had quite a thick skin.
It’s just that the atmosphere at the scene was something she had never seen before.
The guests’ faces were all smiles while chatting, but when their eyes lightly swept over her, they were indifferent.
She was sure that apart from the Liu Family and people related to Ye Fei, no one knew her.
Yet these guests weren’t curious about her at all, with an air of indifference.
Because, in such a circle, there are only so many people; they know exactly who’s who.
Like Ye Fei, though they didn’t know her.
But Ye Fei had Zhao Gushen with her, and a small number of people here had seen Ye Fei, so they could naturally inform others of Ye Fei’s identity.
A person like Ye Ning, who came alone without someone with her, wasn’t worth investigating.
If she had background or connections, how could she stand here alone and not know anyone?
Moreover, Ye Ning herself didn’t know.
But others have sharp eyes.
One look and they could figure Ye Ning out.
Ye Ning felt she was standing here quite confidently, unaware that her inner uncertainty and anxiety were actually showing.
Not obvious. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
But who here wasn’t sharp-eyed?
Could they not see through it?
They are the most snobbish and best at treating people based on their evaluation.
So naturally, they could see through Ye Ning’s background at a glance.
And so, naturally, no one paid attention to her.
In fact, their gazes carried a hint of disdain.
With disdain, at least it might ignite Ye Ning’s anger.
But such indifference didn’t even regard Ye Ning as something.
Their gazes on her were like looking through air, an attitude of ignoring her, yet it was a blow to Ye Ning.
Looking again at the three from the Liu Family, standing lonely over there, no one approached them.
It seemed the Liu Family was even more useless than she thought.
But to those here who looked down on the Liu Family, the things she found hard to solve were trivial to the Liu Family.
Ye Ning’s gaze fell back on Ye Fei.
Now, seeing Ye Fei among the Eight Great Families, moving with ease.
Seeing her so familiar with the people of the Eight Great Families.
Looking again at the other guests, those who ignored her, all held anxious yet respectful gazes towards Ye Fei.
And looking at the people of the Eight Great Families, whose aura was clearly powerful, putting pressure on others, yet Ye Fei seemed unaffected.
At this moment, Ye Ning felt that Ye Fei and she were like people from two different worlds.
Ye Fei stood with the people of the Eight Great Families.
They were in a little world.
It seemed as if there was an invisible wall around, letting people know without seeing that no one dared to approach.
No one dared approach the Liu Family’s area because they didn’t want to be implicated.
But with Zhao Gushen, no one dared to get close because of awe.
The people around looked with admiration and jealousy.
Ye Ning wished to be looked at like that in her dreams.
She took a deep breath and walked over to Ye Fei.
There were many guests, and she walked through the crowd.
Being close, she could hear someone softly ask: "Who is this?"
"Don’t know her."
"Who did she come with?"
"Didn’t see. Maybe she came by herself?"
"Can you come here all by yourself?"
"Don’t know how she got the invitation."
"Look at her timid manner, she’s clearly not one of us, don’t know how she fit in here."
"Has some looks, who knows what method she used." This made those who heard laugh with ’understanding’ smiles.
Then, they were surprised to find themselves shocked to see Ye Ning hadn’t stopped and was already heading toward Zhao Gushen and the others.
"What’s she trying to do?"
"Can’t tell, she has quite the ambition."
Ye Ning felt angry hearing those people ridicule her.
But now, she couldn’t worry about being angry.
Because the closer she got to Zhao Gushen and those people, the more nervous she became.
At this point, she clearly felt the oppression brought by their powerful aura.
Even though there was still some distance between her and them.
It already made her somewhat breathless.
No wonder others kept their distance from them.
But looking at Ye Fei, standing among them, chatting and laughing.
"Ye Fei." Ye Ning gritted her teeth and walked over stiffly.
Ye Fei saw her and seemed unsurprised, calmly saying, "Congratulations on getting an invitation."
Ye Ning pulled Ye Fei aside, speaking softly: "I’ll give you one last chance, or else, don’t blame me for being rude."
Ye Fei shook off Ye Ning’s hand, indifferently saying, "Say what you want."
Unlike Ye Ning, who lowered her voice.
Ye Fei controlled her volume not at all, speaking at a normal level.
Just because Ye Ning walked directly to Ye Fei, Zhao Gushen and the others were already highly noticeable.
Adding Ye Ning’s incident, the attention of everyone naturally drifted over.
