Chapter 146 Don't Talk to Me About Contractual Spirit
"A guest? I don't recall ever inviting him."
Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw Ye Yifan slowly walking out of the shadows.
She came out as soon as she received the news, but seeing Ye Sanqing teaching someone a lesson, she didn't show herself for the time being.
Thankfully, we didn't miss any crucial footage. This surveillance video should be copied and watched repeatedly.
"Ye Yifan," Lu Wangqian said, adjusting his clothes with feigned nonchalance, "is this how your family treats guests?"
Ye Sanqing thought it was strange. Just now, these two were saying their reluctant goodbyes outside, but now they were calling themselves guests.
Moreover... Lu Wangqian seemed to be subtly putting on airs.
"Excuse me? What kind of guest are you? You're not even a servant," Ye Jin'er said.
"You good-for-nothing who only follows your sister around has no right to talk to me," Lu Wangqian said coldly, reverting to his usual arrogant demeanor.
"Who are you calling trash?" Ye Sanqing took a step forward, blocking Ye Jin'er from getting angry.
Although Lu Wangqian is useless, he can still hurt one or two people if he goes crazy, so it's best to be cautious.
"Slap—" Ye Yifan raised his hand expressionlessly and slapped Lu Wangqian across the face.
"Get out."
Lu Wangqian, seemingly lost in thought, did not look away.
A trace of blood clung to the corner of his mouth. He exaggeratedly licked his cheek with his tongue, laughing instead of getting angry. "Is this how you treat your fiancé whom you haven't seen for years?"
Ye Wanyin's pupils dilated.
Everyone's pupils dilated in shock, except for Ye Yifan.
“I don’t have a fiancé,” she stated simply.
"You really don't take your father's words seriously, do you?" Lu Wangqian smiled sinisterly.
"When did Ye Tian become my representative?" Ye Yifan retorted. "Besides, I've already given the Lu family a lot of face by not physically eliminating you."
"You're really ruthless." Lu Wangqian seemed to have just remembered Ye Wanyin, and turned his head to say, "Wanwan, don't misunderstand, I'll explain it to you properly later."
Ye Wanyin: ...Uh.
For her, the fact that her older sister had a fiancé was more shocking than the fact that her ex-fiancé was Lu Wangqian.
"I told you to get out." Ye Yifan glanced at Ye Sanqing when he saw that Ye Sanqing didn't move.
"Okay." Ye Sanqing acted faster than he spoke, stepping forward and kicking Lu Wangqian below the knee.
Lu Wangqian was busy exchanging glances with Ye Wanyin when Ye Sanqing suddenly made his move, kneeling down on one knee.
Ye Sanqing grabbed his belt with one hand and his collar with the other, spun around, lifted him up, and threw him out the door!
Lu Wangqian, who flew out of the gate, was very puzzled.
Even after he fell to the ground, he still couldn't understand how Ye Sanqing had done it.
Throwing him away is easier than throwing away a bag of trash!
"Brother Lu—" Ye Wanyin stretched out her hand towards the door, then said anxiously, "Big sister, Brother Lu is my guest, how could you do this?"
She was met with a sharp slap.
Ye Wanyin covered her face and stared at Ye Yifan in disbelief, unable to utter a word.
Previously, only Ye Sanqing would lay a hand on her. When did my eldest sister start laying a hand on herself?
It must be Ye Sanqing's fault for bringing this violent trend into the house!
"Don't you remember our family's blacklist? Copy it a hundred times tonight. In calligraphy," Ye Yifan said coldly.
"Blacklist?" Ye Sanqing asked.
Ye Jin'er then summoned her bodyguards and instructed them to close the door and keep a close eye on the guy outside.
"You can take a look if you're interested, but you probably won't be like Ye Wanyin, bringing shady characters home every day."
Ye Yifan spoke, but his eyes did not look at Ye Wanyin.
Ye Wanyin could only continue to cover her face and follow behind.
"Oh, it's neither fish nor fowl, like the kind you see outside."
Ye Sanqing nodded and took notes.
"Sister, what fiancé...?" Ye Jin'er asked quickly after arranging the bodyguards.
He couldn't accept his older sister having a random marriage contract, especially with a typical scumbag like Lu Wangqian!
"Sigh," Ye Yifan sighed, "The Three Pure Ones should be able to understand me."
“Sometimes I do really want to physically eliminate some people…” Ye Sanqing agreed.
"Sister, is it because Brother Lu treats me differently that you..." Ye Wanyin said unhappily.
In her eyes, this was purely something Ye Yifan did because he was unhappy to see her ex-fiancé being intimate with her.
But she forgot that Ye Yifan was even more difficult to talk to than Ye Sanqing.
"Ye Wanyin." Ye Yifan stopped and turned to stand in front of her, slapping her again.
"When did you get the idea that you can talk to me like that? You got cocky just because you were on a TV show? Saying things like that means you don't want to stay in the Ye family anymore?"
"Then get out of here too, don't disrupt our family dinner." Ye Yifan's tone was calm and unhurried, yet very authoritative.
If two slaps weren't enough to wake Ye Wanyin up, then the words "I don't want to stay in the Ye family anymore" would definitely bring her to her senses.
"It was my fault, elder sister... I was out of my mind and said the wrong thing. I didn't mean to disrespect you. Please forgive me." Ye Wanyin said the apology numbly.
"I'm hungry, what should we eat for dinner?" Ye Jin'er walked past her as if nothing had happened.
"Tonight we'll have your favorite braised sea cucumber with scallions," Ye Yifan said as they walked back. "Also, I saw on the show, doesn't Sanqing really like braised goose in an iron pot? But we don't have that kind of iron pot at home..."
Their voices faded into the distance, and Ye Wanyin was left behind, her heart filled with resentment and anger.
Ye Siqing, who had been observing the situation from the side, cautiously approached and said, "Sister, let's go back too."
"Siqing..." Ye Wanyin wiped away her tears. This time it was real; she had been beaten out of her. "You saw it too, you're really all I have left..."
She glanced deeply at Lu Wangqian, who was separated from her by the iron gate, then turned and ran in the opposite direction.
Ye Siqing: ?
Even though he considered Ye Wanyin his good older sister, he was still very puzzled by this scene...
It's just that he hasn't watched enough romance dramas, otherwise he would have been able to recognize how classic this scene is.
Sure enough, Lu Wangqian started shaking the iron gate, then, seemingly warned by the bodyguard, he took two steps back. He then took out his phone and started making a call, accompanied by pacing around and scratching his head.
Ye Siqing: This one seems even more eccentric than Ye Ge...
The four of them sat down in the restaurant, where dishes were already laid out on the table.
"Where's the old man?" Ye Jin'er asked.
"They said there was a delay and told us to wait until he starts serving dinner," Ye Yifan said with a smile. "How could that be?"
"Okay! Eat!" Ye Jin'er looked at the braised sea cucumber with scallions that was placed in front of him, his appetite whetted.
“Well, how can that be?” Ye Wanyin said, choosing an angle that was less likely to go wrong. “Dad must miss us a lot too. He’ll be so heartbroken to see us eating before he even gets a chance to come back.”
She was waiting for Ye Tian to come back and complain. If Ye Tian came back and the crowd had already dispersed, what was the point of her coming here?
Moreover, now that I've been slapped twice, complaining should be quite effective; if it's any later, the marks will probably be gone.
"Is it your turn to speak now?" Ye Yifan raised his eyelids slightly, but his gaze did not turn to Ye Wanyin, and he did not use a question to speak.
"If you care so much about Ye Tian, why don't you cancel your work and go on vacation to a tropical island with him?"
"Sister... I signed it a long time ago..." Ye Wanyin said awkwardly, forgetting the fact that the job contract hadn't actually been signed a few days in advance.
"Don't talk to me about the spirit of contracts. If you had that, you wouldn't be here with that guy surnamed Lu today."
Ye Wanyin realized that Ye Yifan was alluding to the marriage agreement, so she had no choice but to temporarily back down.
Ye Wanyin had no intention of dealing with the engagement. In her view, if things went wrong, Cheng Yanye would at least be her last resort.
After all, she's both stupid and easily fooled, and the conditions are barely acceptable...
So Ye Wanyin pretended not to taste the food, took two bites, and said she would wait for Ye Tian to come back before having dinner with her father.
No one paid any attention to her, except for Ye Siqing, who stole glances at her while eating...
As long as Ye Wanyin doesn't speak, the atmosphere at the dinner table is still acceptable.
Based on his observations from watching the show, Ye Yifan arranged some dishes that Ye Sanqing would likely like, such as braised pork knuckle, boiled sliced pork, and sauerkraut fish...
Ye Sanqing naturally enjoyed the meal very much.
Ye Wanyin sat to the side, glaring at her resentfully. What kind of dishes are these? They're not high-class at all!
It's one thing to eat these things on the show when conditions are limited, but to eat them at home... The smell is just too strong!
Ye Sanqing completely ignored her gaze.
"Ye Siqing, you're going back to school tomorrow," Ye Yifan said.
Ye Siqing nodded. He really had to go back quickly; he had a ton of homework to catch up on after being away for over a week.
Fortunately, there was a slight gap in the coursework this time, and there's still some time before the end of the semester, so I can catch up.
"Don't contact him if you need anything," Ye Yifan instructed Ye Wanyin.
"Sister, is it now a sin for me to even contact my brother?" Ye Wanyin said, feeling wronged.
"What do you think? Isn't it a sin to bother others during finals week? Have you never been to school to say something like that?" Ye Yifan asked doubtfully.
"Pfft. Does she even call the school she went to 'going to school'?" Ye Jin'er laughed from the side.
"Second brother is the one who hasn't learned it yet," Ye Siqing boldly retorted.
"What a joke! I'm someone who was born with a special talent, someone who needs to learn!" Ye Jin'er said dismissively. "Before you give me pointers, please become the best in your field nationwide."
"Shut up and go back to school obediently. You know what will happen if your report card doesn't satisfy me," Ye Yifan said to Ye Siqing.
In fact, if his performance on the show hadn't been so lackluster, Ye Yifan wouldn't be so polite now.
"Finished eating?" Ye Yifan asked, then looked at Ye Sanqing, who nodded.
"You, and you, come with me to the study."
Ye Sanqing and Ye Jin'er followed, while Ye Wanyin and Ye Siqing exchanged a glance.
Seeing that Ye Wanyin looked like she was about to cry, Ye Siqing had no choice but to suppress her thoughts of going back to her room and sit down next to her to comfort her gently.
