Chapter 399: Chapter 399 This woman is a bit evil_1

Ye Fei certainly didn’t tell Lu Dabao the whole truth.

He only let him know a small part; as for the greater part, he naturally used white lies.

"That’s great, Feizi! I’m really happy from the bottom of my heart that you and your sister-in-law could recover," Lu Dabao said.

"I... I should have taken good care of you, taken care of Little Ye. But I... I’m sorry! Feizi, I’m really sorry!"

Lu Dabao lowered his head in shame, and tears streamed down his chubby face.

Ye Fei stepped forward and gave him a pat on the chest, "Dabao, what are you talking about? What sorry? I know you’ve done everything you could to help me. It was bad luck before—nothing you could have changed, and besides, you’ve had such a heavy burden yourself."

"Right, how is your aunt’s health now?"

Ye Fei clearly remembered that in his previous life, shortly after he became paralyzed, Lu Dabao’s mother had a car accident that resulted in the amputation of her legs.

Lu Dabao himself came from a single-parent family, without a father. After his mother became disabled, the heavy responsibility of the whole family fell on his shoulders alone.

That was perhaps one of the reasons he suddenly disappeared.

When the matter was brought up, Lu Dabao’s expression became even more somber.

With a slight tremble, he replied, "My mother committed suicide three months ago."

"What?!"

This news shocked Ye Fei quite a bit.

That was precisely when Lu Dabao disappeared.

So, such a big thing had happened in his family.

"How could Aunt think of such a thing! Didn’t you tell me that your aunt could earn over a thousand a month with handcraft work? That should’ve been completely enough to supplement the family’s expenses."

"You also said that although your aunt’s legs were disabled, she always held hope for the future. But how could she..."

Lu Dabao shook his head vigorously, "I don’t know either! I can’t figure it out! Why my mother would do that!"

As the two were speaking, Lu Dabao’s phone rang.

"Lu Dabao, where the hell are you!" the voice came harshly from the phone as soon as he picked up.

Lu Dabao looked embarrassed and quickly took the phone aside to talk.

Ye Fei knew it had to be his brother’s sharp-tongued girlfriend, Lu Jing, on the phone.

Ye Fei never had a good impression of this woman.

Taking advantage of Lu Dabao’s devotion to her, she would bully him constantly and scold him as if he were her child.

On several occasions when they were eating together, the woman always managed to embarrass Lu Dabao in front of everyone.

All these were actually still bearable; what was most important was that the woman was particularly materialistic.

Coming from an ordinary worker’s family, she would buy all sorts of branded cosmetics and handbags on a whim and squeeze Lu Dabao when she ran out of money.

Ye Fei was puzzled, wondering how on earth Lu Dabao could keep putting up with a woman like that.

After a while, Lu Dabao came back to the table with a troubled look on his face.

"Uh... Feizi, Xiao Jing heard that you’ve recovered, and she insists on coming to see you," Lu Dabao said.

Ye Fei thought to himself, "This woman didn’t come to see me; she obviously just doesn’t want you to spend money and purposely came to keep an eye on you."

Although he thought this, he naturally couldn’t say it out loud.

Ye Fei responded with a faint smile, "Sure, it’s been a while since we’ve gotten together. Let’s have a good catch-up today."

Lu Dabao gave a dry smile, one that was even uglier than a cry.

Less than ten minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of the restaurant. A woman dressed in a strappy tank top and hot pants, dolled up in a gaudy fashion, stepped out of the car.

Her every step exuded an irrepressible coquettishness.

This person was Lu Jing.

"Yo, Ye Fei, I didn’t believe Dabao when he told me. I didn’t expect you actually recovered from paralysis? Truly a miracle!"

Lu Jing took off her sunglasses, revealing her heavily made-up, alluring eyes, and looked Ye Fei up and down.

Although her gaze was full of surprise, it was tainted with a thick layer of disdain beyond the surprise.

"What did I tell you, Dabao? The poorer you are, the tougher your life is. The poorer, the tougher. Didn’t I tell you so?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Dabao hurriedly nudged Lu Jing a few times while apologetically nodding at Ye Fei.

"What are you pushing me for? Am I wrong?"

Lu Jing shot Lu Dabao a fierce look, twisted her bottom as she sat down, and stared straight at Ye Fei.

"Ye Fei, you really are something, inviting our Dabao for a meal to celebrate your recovery. It’s really generous of you given all the care Dabao had shown you before."

"Since you’re treating, I won’t hold back today. Waiter, I want one of this, this, and these, and this. Also, bring us your most expensive bottle of wine."

"Little Jing, what are you doing? You know very well what kind of situation Feizi is in, right?"

Seeing her order so many expensive dishes and drinks, Lu Dabao quickly tried to intervene.

But Lu Jing twisted him sharply, "So what if I know? Even if you’re poor, you should eat and drink well, right? He’s just recovered from a major illness, what a joyous occasion, we should celebrate properly."

"Ye Fei hasn’t said anything yet, and here you are skimping on expenses; are you idle or what?"

"Besides, how much is a meal anyway? It’s not even one-fifth of the money you used to give him."

Ye Fei smiled indifferently.

"Dabao, Lu Jing is right. On such a happy day, how can we not have a good meal? Order whatever you want, I can afford it."

Ye Fei maintained the greatest restraint in front of Lu Dabao.

Otherwise, for a woman like her, Ye Fei would find even giving her a glance a waste of time.

Lu Dabao couldn’t control this woman either, and since Ye Fei had said this, he could only let her have her way.

In the end, when it came time to pay, he’d just secretly slip Ye Fei the money.

The three of them chatted while eating.

With Lu Jing there, the conversation was naturally filled with trivial matters.

Noticing that Ye Fei was not engaging, Lu Jing, with a seemingly concerned tone, asked, "Ye Fei, now that both you and your wife are well, what are your plans? You can’t just keep loafing around, right?"

"How about this, I can help you two find some jobs that are sure to make money. I know a ’big brother’ who owns a factory, why don’t you go and be a security guard for him? Two thousand five hundred a month, with meals and accommodation included, and even three types of insurance. It’s better than doing nothing all day, right?"

"And for your wife, well, I could introduce her to a job as a hostess in a high-end club. She wouldn’t have to do anything all day, just stand there, and she could easily make over ten thousand a month. It’s like picking up free money! What do you say?"
