Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

After coming back, she packed her luggage and left.

She even took the family’s ancestral recipe book with her.

Ye Ning didn’t really care about the recipes.

Because many of the dishes in there couldn’t be recreated now.

Even if Ye Fei took it, it was useless.

Ye Fei had no money, no resources, and simply couldn’t study the recipes.

Most of the recipes were firmly remembered by Ye Dezhang.

Later, when their family restaurant made money, Ye Ning had Ye Dezhang study it slowly.

He would always manage to recreate a few dishes.

That’s why they weren’t in a hurry to find Ye Fei.

Because they felt it didn’t matter.

At that time, Xu Huizhen made an excuse that Ye Fei might have returned to school to appease Ye Dezhang.

But Ye Fei would not only come back to help at the family restaurant every week.

If she didn’t have classes in the afternoon, she’d also come back to help.

But after a week passed, Ye Dezhang still hadn’t seen Ye Fei.

Ye Fei had secretly bought her own mobile phone, and to prevent Xu Huizhen from suspecting, she didn’t even buy a SIM card.

Ye Dezhang could only call Ye Fei’s dormitory.

The result was, Ye Fei’s roommate answered and said Ye Fei hadn’t come to school for a week. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ye Dezhang became anxious.

Later, he learned from the school that Ye Fei had applied for a leave of absence.

No one knew where Ye Fei had gone.

Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning just pretended to be ignorant, acting like they had no idea what was going on.

They even acted all worried, joining Ye Dezhang in the search for Ye Fei’s whereabouts.

At that time, Xu Huizhen would often mumble, "Where on earth did this child go? How can she leave without a word, not even saying goodbye? Doesn’t she know how worried her family is?"

And so five years passed.

Ye Dezhang always kept Ye Fei in his mind, but to no avail; he couldn’t find her anywhere.

Until the last competition, Ye Fei made an appearance on the show.

And was coincidentally seen by Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning.

The two initially wanted to keep it from Ye Dezhang.

Unexpectedly, the next day Ye Dezhang happened to return to their old place to catch up with old neighbors.

The old neighbors all recognized Ye Fei.

Some of them watched the competition live the day before.

They immediately told Ye Dezhang.

However, the old neighbors didn’t know Ye Fei had run away or that the Ye Family couldn’t find her.

They merely thought Ye Fei had gone to City B to make a name for herself.

No one from the Ye Family had told the old neighbors about Ye Fei leaving.

They even told Ye Dezhang, "Your Ye Fei has made it big now, appearing on such a large competition and even advancing. You and Old Xu can look forward to enjoying life. Ye Ning opened a big restaurant, and Ye Fei is a celebrity."

Ye Dezhang was dumbfounded hearing this.

After clarifying, he realized that Ye Fei was in City B!

After understanding the Changping Competition’s situation,

he immediately rushed home to tell Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning.

And Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning, who had long known about this, could only pretend to have just heard the news.

Ye Ning even found the previous competition footage for Ye Dezhang to watch.

Seeing Ye Fei looking fair and delicate, without a sign of hardship.

Her vibrant spirit seemed even better than when they were in Ye City.

Only then did Ye Dezhang feel relieved.

And wanted to go to City B immediately to find Ye Fei.

But how could Xu Huizhen let him do that?

She had already discussed it with Ye Ning.

So at the time, Xu Huizhen shouted, "You mustn’t go!"

Ye Dezhang was taken aback: "The child has been missing for five years. Now, finally, there is news of her. Why not go!"

"Look at her, she’s living better than us," Xu Huizhen shrieked.
