Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 660: The Ye Family Has Your Back

"You certainly won’t let Zhao Gushen know your true colors. In front of him, you still need to be that delicate little white flower! Otherwise, although I won’t gain any benefits, you’re done in the Zhao Family!" Ye Ningxin steadied herself.

Analyzing it this way, she felt confident.

If Zhao Gushen heard it, she’d surely be in trouble.

But Ye Fei would be even worse off than her.

So, Ye Fei wouldn’t mention this next to Zhao Gushen.

After Ye Ning thought it through, she was no longer afraid.

"Why don’t I find an opportunity for us to meet up, and you can expose my true colors in front of Zhao Gushen?" Ye Fei sneered.

"Do you really think I wouldn’t dare?" Ye Ning took a deep breath, realizing she couldn’t let Ye Fei lead her by the nose, couldn’t let her set the pace.

"Ye Fei, don’t change the subject!" Ye Ning said coldly, "What? Changing the subject now because you’re scared?"

"Actually, you don’t need to be afraid." Ye Ning softened her voice.

But this deliberately tender voice only gave people goosebumps, making it seem insincere.

Especially to Ye Fei’s ears, it was even more obvious.

"We’re family. I still have our parents, so of course we hope you’re well. Naturally, we wouldn’t harm you." Ye Ning said softly.

Ye Fei raised her eyebrows, initially intending to hang up, but now she was a bit interested in hearing how else Ye Ning could fabricate.

Naturally, Ye Fei wouldn’t really block Ye Ning.

Of course, it’s not because she couldn’t bear to.

But since Ye Ning had come to B City, she’d let Ye Ning finish her act, right?

If she blocked Ye Ning too early, how could she cooperate with her?

"Not only will we not harm you, but we will also help you." Ye Ning said earnestly, "It’s not easy for you in B City. You worked hard to marry into the Zhao Family, and who knows what efforts you’ve made."

"You’ve worked so hard to marry in, so how could we let your efforts go to waste?" Ye Ning said.

"Since we’re family, we should help each other in difficult times. It’s only right." Ye Ning said, "Back at home, you had many complaints about me and Mom, which I understand. But no matter how big the complaints are, they’re just family squabbles."

"Siblings in a family don’t always get along, nor do children and parents never argue. But usually, it’s just quarrels at home, minor squabbles among ourselves, but outside, don’t we all stand united?"

"Our family supports each other. No matter how fierce the arguments were in the past, at critical moments, how could we watch you struggle and not lend a hand when you face difficulties?"

"Maybe you don’t consider us family anymore, since you’ve married into the Zhao Family. Risen to power and wealth, looking down on us ordinary folks. You’ve disconnected from us for so many years, genuinely wanting to sever ties. But since I’ve come to B City and met you, I can’t stand idly by regarding your matters." Ye Ning said it so movingly.

"So, what is your point?" Ye Fei reminded Ye Ning to get to the point and stop spouting empty pleasantries.

These words wouldn’t fool Ye Fei, nor did Ye Ning believe them herself.

If no one believes them, then what’s the point of saying them?

"I wanted to tell you." Ye Ning said, "We know about your situation with Boss Liu, so there’s no need to hide it from us."

"As for Zhao Gushen and the Zhao Family, we’ll help you keep it a secret. As your family, we hope for your best. We don’t want you to finally marry into the Zhao Family only to be shunned. I won’t spread rumors about you having a child with Boss Liu."

"After all, who knows what efforts you’ve made to marry into the Zhao Family." Ye Ning said, still probing how Ye Fei managed to do it.

Ye Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "Actually, I didn’t make much effort. Zhao Gushen actively wanted to marry me, perhaps because I had given him a son."

"Ye Fei, this is unfair. I’ve genuinely been open with you, yet you still won’t tell the truth." Ye Ning said unwillingly, "The matter between you and Zhao Gushen, fine. But the son you have is with Boss Liu, that you must admit."

"Or are you afraid to admit it?" Ye Ning continued, "Do you fear that if you admit it, others will find out? But right now it’s just the two of us on the phone, no one else can hear. Why won’t you admit it? Or is it that you fear I’ll record our conversation?"

"Ye Fei, you’re underestimating me! What kind of person do you take me for? As I said earlier, our family arguments and conflicts are our own. But during critical moments, we still stand united against outsiders. I will certainly help you with whatever you need."

Ye Fei curled one side of her lip coldly, full of sarcasm, but said, "And what happens after helping me? Why are you so eager to help? Don’t tell me it’s about being family or not. I don’t recall you ever doing things altruistically. Back then, you schemed against me for ten million. What benefit do you seek to gain now by helping me?"

"Ye Fei, that’s too hurtful to say. We’re family and should naturally help and support each other. Don’t always assume others are after some benefit by helping you. Besides, by marrying into the Zhao Family, our family is related to them, so we might even help each other in business and cooperate in the future."

Ye Fei’s smile was understanding and cold, "So, in the end, you just want to leverage me to gain benefits from the Zhao Family?"

"Ye Fei, you can’t put it that way!" Ye Ning immediately said, "I don’t care what method you used to marry into the Zhao Family, but marrying in doesn’t mean you’ve succeeded or can entirely relax. A woman in her in-laws’ family, especially in a big family like the Zhao Family, only her own natal family is her strongest backing."

"Facing any issue, you still need your own family for support, but you know, our family is too distant from the Zhao Family. If something truly troublesome happens, the Zhao Family makes things difficult for you, and even if we want to help, we can’t provide backing. How can we support you?"

"So, while you can still have influence in the Zhao Family, help our family advance. When real issues arise, our family can also speak up for you. Let the Zhao Family know that you didn’t marry in alone. The Ye Family supports you and won’t let them bully you in the Zhao Family."

Ye Ning’s reasoning sounded nice, but it was clearly a ploy to use Zhao Family’s influence to elevate the Ye Family.

This is akin to historical external relatives; initially unnoticed, but with royal support, they could gain momentary power.
