Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 561: That’s My Daughter

Ye Dezhang exclaimed, "Ye Fei?"

Xu Huizhen was sitting and drinking tea. Upon hearing those two words, she immediately put down the teacup and rushed over.

"What did you say? Is it Ye Fei?" Xu Huizhen snatched the phone from Ye Dezhang’s hand and took the call herself.

"Who did you say is looking for?" Xu Huizhen hurriedly asked.

At this moment, Ye Fei had already taken the receiver and said, "Mom, it’s me, Ye Fei."

Only Ye Fei knew how difficult it was for her to say that word "Mom."

If she didn’t want to hear Xu Huizhen getting hysterical on the phone, she wouldn’t have wanted to say it at all.

"How did you know we were here?" Xu Huizhen was surprised.

Did Ye Fei really have such a capability now?

She hadn’t contacted them at all beforehand, yet she could find them directly on her own.

"Why don’t you let me come up first, and we’ll talk?" Ye Fei said, "I’ll hand the phone back to the hotel staff, and you tell her you agree to let me come upstairs."

"Alright!" Xu Huizhen felt anger rising up to her throat, almost unable to hold it in.

Just waiting for Ye Fei to come up so she could settle accounts with her.

Ye Fei handed the receiver back to the staff.

Xu Huizhen said to the person, "That’s my daughter, let her come up."

After hanging up, the staff called over a housekeeping staff member to let Ye Fei take the elevator.

Ye Fei followed the staff.

In the room, as soon as Xu Huizhen hung up the phone, she immediately called Ye Ning: "Ning Ning, Ye Fei came by herself!"

After the last competition, when they couldn’t get close to Ye Fei, Xu Huizhen had come back and told Ye Ning about it.

"How did Ye Fei know where you were staying?" Ye Ning was also puzzled. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I don’t know, I asked her, and she didn’t say," Xu Huizhen replied. "Who knows what great abilities she’s developed over the years. I’ll ask her when she comes up. I’ll tell you the full details later."

"Okay." Ye Ning hung up the phone.

At that moment, she was in a café chatting with her high school classmate Yu Xinman.

After making a fortune, Ye Ning had long stopped keeping in touch with her former classmates.

Because she looked down on them.

She felt that they were no longer on the same level.

The only one she was still in contact with was Yu Xinman.

Because in college, Yu Xinman was classmates with Ding Jiajun’s daughter, Ding Ruoyi, who was the richest person in Ye City.

Moreover, they were roommates in the same dormitory.

But later, Ding Ruoyi went abroad for postgraduate studies.

I heard from Yu Xinman that Ding Ruoyi is coming back soon.

Ye Ning wanted to get acquainted with Ding Ruoyi through Yu Xinman.

Although Ye City is a small, unnoticed city, the richest person in the city should not be underestimated.

As the richest person in Ye City, Ding Jiajun’s connections extend beyond Ye City.

This doesn’t even need to be mentioned.

Just in Ye City alone, Ding Jiajun was a powerful figure, who could influence things greatly.

His businesses in Ye City created a significant amount of GDP for the city.

The mayor of Ye City treated him with utmost respect and did everything possible to keep him from leaving, offering him many privileges.

Just based on Ding Jiajun’s influence in Ye City, Ye Ning wanted to get to know Ding Ruoyi and strive to become good friends.

As for this afternoon, Ye Ning just wanted to vent her frustrations to Yu Xinman.

These days, she had been dealing with matters at the restaurant, feeling overwhelmed.

This afternoon, it was rare for her to have a break to rest.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xinman asked, "Was that your aunt?"

"Yes, she’s in City B looking for Ye Fei. Ye Fei and my parents have no contact with each other. I didn’t expect Ye Fei to have the capability to find the hotel where my parents stayed without a word. I’m very curious about how capable she is now."

"By the way, why did you book such an expensive hotel for your parents?" Yu Xinman was quite surprised. "Since they’re going to stay in City B for a long time, staying in a five-star hotel all the time costs a lot. It would be more economical to rent a homestay."

"Of course, I know you’re not short on that little bit of money either. I inadvertently started thinking with my own mindset," Yu Xinman quickly added.

"Not really," Ye Ning sighed, afraid that Yu Xinman might think she wanted to take advantage of her, and quickly clarified, "You know my mom, she really cares about face."

"Honestly, in recent years, though our family’s restaurant has earned some money, it’s not as profitable as outsiders think. Running a restaurant has high costs, with investments in the early stages and no profits. It only began to improve last year. But after deducting costs and bribes, what’s left isn’t as much as imagined."

"I really want to become truly wealthy, but there’s still a long way to go," Ye Ning lamented about her financial situation.

Yu Xinman knew very well in her heart, smiling but internally mocking.

Who is she pretending to be poor with?

"My mom has a bit of a newly rich complex," explained Ye Ning. "We were used to being poor before, and hadn’t seen much money. Now that we’ve earned a little, she feels our family is incredibly wealthy."

"As you know, when I meet clients, I can’t dress too poorly. Especially when others perceive that I run such an upscale restaurant and am seen as a wealthy business owner. If I dress poorly, clients will look down on me and won’t talk to me. With whom can I talk business then?"

"Therefore, I need to buy some expensive things for myself." Ye Ning shook her head, "Now, if I buy for myself, I have to buy for her too. Otherwise, I’m not being filial."

"If I didn’t book a decent hotel for them this time in City B, it’s nothing to my dad, but my mom would nag at me every day for being unfilial, for only using good things for myself and not being willing to spend money on them."

Ye Ning tiredly pinched her brow: "I spend money to buy myself some peace. My mom, even in these difficult times, still..."

Seeing Ye Ning shake her head, Yu Xinman somewhat agreed.

After all, they all knew Xu Huizhen’s temper.

"But you’ll soon feel at ease. Isn’t Ye Fei already coming to see your parents?" Yu Xinman said, "Then, let Ye Fei share some of the burden of supporting your parents."

"Especially since she’s been missing for five years. During those five years, you were the one supporting them. You have to sort things out with her and can’t just let her off the hook," Yu Xinman stated.

"Yes, that’s what I think too," Ye Ning said.

"By the way, I have good news: Ding Ruoyi is coming back soon," Yu Xinman said, "It should be next month. We old classmates are going to have a gathering then."

Seeing Ye Ning’s eyes light up, Yu Xinman added, "For our class gathering, I can’t quite easily bring you along."

"After all, we are gathering as old classmates. You’re not acquainted with them, and it might be awkward for you. Plus, I worry about being seen as inconsiderate," Yu Xinman said.
