Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: He Doesn’t Cause Trouble Himself

"She thinks I treated her poorly, holds a grudge against me. Fine." Xu Huizhen nodded, "But you treated her well enough."

"Look at her now, how does she treat you? We’ve been here for so long, settled down, she doesn’t say to visit me, why won’t she even look at you?"

"Back then, she was with Zhao Gushen, so wealthy, and instead of honoring you, she turned it around and asked you for money."

"I’m just thankful now, thankful that I didn’t care for her. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be driven to death by her now? She’s a real ungrateful wolf!" Xu Huizhen mentioned the ungrateful things Ye Fei did.

"Look at how you cared for her since she was young, poured so much effort into her. Even her cooking skills, you taught her. Without you, how would she have these glory days, shining in cooking competitions, flaunting her prowess?" Xu Huizhen sneered.

"And the result? Did she ever thank you? Even if she doesn’t support me, did she ever offer to support you, give you a pension?" Xu Huizhen questioned.

Ye Dezhang couldn’t say anything.

Xu Huizhen continued, "Compared to Ning Ning whom you didn’t favor as much since she was young, how good is she to you now? Your good life now is all thanks to Ning Ning."

"Now there’s an opportunity, won’t you consider more for Ning Ning?" Xu Huizhen asked, "In the future, both of us will rely on Ning Ning for retirement."

"Ye Fei definitely can’t be counted on anymore. Since you rely on Ning Ning for retirement, shouldn’t you help her more now? Putting all the pressure on Ning Ning one day, how can you bear it?"

"Oh, when there’s something good you think of Ye Fei, but when you need care you turn to Ning Ning, how is this fair?" Xu Huizhen said.

"I didn’t think of it that way..." Ye Dezhang weakly refuted.

Xu Huizhen said, "I advise you, from now on, just act as if Ning Ning is your only daughter. Ye Fei can’t be counted on. If you help Ning Ning, let her have an easier life, then when she supports us in the future, the burden won’t be as heavy, what’s wrong with that?"

Ye Dezhang fell silent.

Seeing Ye Dezhang still hesitant, unwilling to speak.

Xu Huizhen directly asked, "You still won’t go?"

"You still won’t go, right! Don’t just think about Ning Ning supporting you in the future. Even for these years Ning Ning has been supporting you, giving you a big house to live in, letting you spend money freely without pressure, spending however you like. Just to repay her, shouldn’t you help her?"

"Without Ning Ning, would you have the life you have now?" Xu Huizhen questioned.

"Yes, you raised her. But how much did it cost to raise her? It’s our family’s fifty-square-meter two-bedroom apartment, buying her clothes from stalls that she could wear for years with one piece. The money spent on raising her, add it all up, including those two years of her studying abroad, what Ning Ning has given you these years has already paid it off."

"Besides, when she went to study abroad back then, it was through the school’s exchange program, the tuition wasn’t as expensive as genuine studying abroad." Xu Huizhen said.

"Add up all this money, what Ning Ning has given us has long repaid it."

"Stop talking." Ye Dezhang felt his scalp tingling from Xu Huizhen’s words, also realizing he hadn’t been able to do much for them.

"I’ll go talk to Ye Fei." Ye Dezhang said, "But now, it’s not easy to find her. We can’t even get close to her home."

Whether it’s Zhao Gushen’s place or the old house, they can’t get close.

Ye Ning immediately said, "I’ve figured it out, Ye Fei is currently studying at Changping Academy, she goes to class early every day. You can’t get close to her residence, but you can go to the school."

"The school can’t stop you from entering." Ye Ning said, "Dad, go find her, can Ye Fei refuse to meet you?"

Ye Dezhang nodded, saying, "Then I’ll go tomorrow."

"Why wait for tomorrow?" Xu Huizhen immediately said, "This thing can’t be delayed. If you continue to drag it on, what if Zhao Guoxian has a girlfriend?"

"It’d be better if you go right now." Xu Huizhen said.

It’s early morning anyway, still very early.

Xu Huizhen checked the time, it’s only 8:30.

"Let’s go to that Changping Academy now." Xu Huizhen said, "Explain it to Ye Fei today, have her sort this out ASAP."

Xu Huizhen spoke as if once Ye Dezhang proposed it, Ye Fei would surely comply.

"Us?" Ye Dezhang asked, "Are you going too?"

"Not just mom." Ye Ning said, "I’ll go too. Except, I and mom won’t show ourselves. We’ll watch from a distance, following closely. If anything happens, we can be aware immediately."

Ye Dezhang had no objections, the three of them set off together.

Ye Fei was attending class when suddenly, the security guard appeared at the door.

"Sorry, to interrupt." The security guard had to interrupt the lecture and looked inside the classroom, "Is Ye Fei here?"

"I am." Ye Fei said.

"Your father is waiting at the school gate, says there’s something very important to tell you." The guard said.

Ye Fei’s heart sank.

Since Ye Dezhang can know she’s here, it must be related to Ye Ning.

The source of Ye Dezhang’s information can only be Ye Ning.

Since it’s related to Ye Ning, she didn’t want to meet.

Ye Fei temporarily turned off the burner, walked to the classroom door, and said to the security guard, "Sorry, could you please tell him I can’t leave?"

"This..." The guard said, "He said you might not want to see him, so he told me that if you don’t go see him, he’ll wait at the gate."

"He also said... your sister and mother didn’t come." The guard said.

Ye Fei pressed her lips together, didn’t expect Ye Dezhang to play the coercion card.

"I understand, I’ll go over now, thank you." Ye Fei could only say.

Ye Fei went back and asked the teacher for leave, then went to the school gate with the security guard.

Upon seeing the school gate, Ye Fei also saw Ye Dezhang standing just outside the gate.

Peering far into the campus.

Even though she didn’t see Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning by his side, Ye Fei knew in her heart that Ye Dezhang coming here must have something to do with Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning.

Though Ye Dezhang may be soft-hearted, his speech and actions chilled Ye Fei’s heart.

But one thing is clear, Ye Dezhang himself doesn’t plot.

If he acts, it’s surely Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning pushing him.

Ye Fei thanked the security guard again, then went to meet Ye Dezhang.

"Dad." Ye Fei called, then unabashedly scrutinized Ye Dezhang’s surroundings.

Ye Dezhang felt a bit embarrassed, slightly guilty and said, "Your... mom and sister didn’t come."

Ye Fei smiled, clearly didn’t believe it, but didn’t argue with Ye Dezhang over this either.
