Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Birds of a Feather

Zhao Dinghuan and Chi Jingsi had arrived as well.

They figured Ye Fei would definitely be feeling nervous.

So they came over early to help put her at ease.

Sure enough, seeing the two elders and Zhao Dinghuan and his wife, Ye Fei really did feel much more relaxed.

The little guy still didn’t know about Second Uncle’s situation, so right now he was totally carefree.

He only knew that he was this cute, Ye Fei was this nice, so of course people would like them!

Besides, the little guy’s thoughts right now were very simple.

The Zhao Family members he knew were just the two elders, Zhao Dinghuan and Chi Jingsi, and of course Zhao Gushen and himself.

They were all very nice.

Especially Great-Grandpa, Great-Grandma, and Grandpa and Grandma, they had accepted Ye Fei from the very beginning.

Back then, they hadn’t even known yet that he was Zhao Gushen’s son.

They still didn’t show the slightest unwillingness.

They treated Ye Fei and him both so well.

The elders of the Zhao Family he knew were all kind, approachable, and good-hearted.

So the little guy wasn’t worried at all.

He assumed that the other branches of the Zhao Family coming today would all be like that too.

Right now, the little guy had already burrowed into the old man’s arms and was playing with him.

The old lady pulled Ye Fei over and said to her, "Xiao Shen must have told you about his second uncle’s family, right?"

Ye Fei nodded. "He told me everything. I’m mentally prepared."

The old lady smiled, patted Ye Fei’s hand, and said, "Don’t be scared."

"You don’t need to be afraid of him. He doesn’t have any real ability, yet insists on eyeing someone else’s position," the old lady said. "Speaking of which, he’s actually quite similar to Ye Ning."

The old lady hadn’t used "your sister" or any such form of address.

Clearly, in her heart, she’d already separated Ye Fei from the Ye Family.

Even with the blood ties, she didn’t see Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen as Ye Fei’s parents. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

She didn’t see Ye Ning as Ye Fei’s sister.

Those three people simply weren’t worthy of being Ye Fei’s family.

Ye Fei had long since stopped calling Ye Ning "sister."

The old lady naturally wasn’t going to acknowledge that sister on Ye Fei’s behalf either.

Hearing the old lady compare Second Uncle to Ye Ning, Ye Fei was a bit surprised.

But she soon laughed.

After the old lady put it that way, she really wasn’t that nervous anymore.

She wasn’t afraid of Ye Ning; if Second Uncle was the same type as Ye Ning, then she naturally didn’t need to worry about him either.

"But, Grandma, let me ask you something honestly," Ye Fei said.

"Go ahead," the old lady said with a smile. "Why be polite with me? Whatever you want to ask, just say it."

"It’s just... in your hearts, what kind of place does Second Uncle actually have?" Ye Fei asked. "Is it like where Ye Ning is with me, or is he slightly better than Ye Ning?"

Ye Fei could just use this to gauge what Second Uncle was really like.

If he really was like Ye Ning, then there was no need to be polite at all.

That would mean this Second Uncle was really not much to speak of.

The old lady smiled and said to Ye Fei, "In my opinion, he’s about the same as Ye Ning."

"The two of them are on different levels, that’s all. Ye Ning just tosses things around in her tiny little patch of ground. Your second uncle’s sphere of troublemaking is a bit broader than Ye Ning’s, that’s it. But in essence, I don’t think there’s any difference."

The old lady patted Ye Fei’s hand. "You can just treat him like you treat Ye Ning. They’re basically the same."

"One makes trouble in a smaller circle, the other makes trouble in a bigger circle. There’s no real difference in essence," the old lady said.

Ye Fei: "..."

The old lady’s words were about as vivid and straightforward as it got.

Because when they arrived, it was already close to eleven.

It wasn’t early to begin with.

So after chatting with the old lady for just over ten minutes, Third Uncle’s family arrived.

Hearing the doorbell, Housekeeper Hong went to open the door.

It would take them a bit of time to walk in from the entrance.

Suddenly, Zhao Gushen remembered something and said to Ye Fei, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you—my Third Aunt and Zhuo Ling’s mother are biological sisters. My third uncle is called Zhao Dinglian, my third aunt is called Lin Ligge, and she’s actually Zhuo Ling’s mother’s younger sister."

Ye Fei was surprised. "I didn’t expect there to be that kind of connection too."

Actually, people of their generation and their marriage partners were the real exceptions.
