Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 672: How Daring You Are

"Sir, Madam." Ye Dezhang, as the head of the family, spoke first.

He sat upright, hands resting on his knees firmly.

"I am Ye Fei’s father, Ye Dezhang. This is her mother, Xu Huizhen. And her sister, Ye Ning," Ye Dezhang said somewhat nervously.

His hands unconsciously gripped his knees tighter.

"Our visit this time is a bit abrupt, and it’s because... we just heard that Ye Fei got married," Ye Dezhang said.

"That child, seriously, got married and didn’t even tell us," Xu Huizhen quickly followed up, "If Ning Ning hadn’t run into her that day, we would still be in the dark."

"When I see her, I must tell her off. How can she do things this way?" Xu Huizhen said, "This is so impolite, who gets married without telling their own parents?"

"Sir, Madam, we certainly didn’t teach her this way from the start," Xu Huizhen hurriedly said.

"That’s why, upon finding out, we came right away, fearing that because she kept it a secret from both sides, we might inadvertently be rude and make you think our family doesn’t understand etiquette," Xu Huizhen seemed very knowledgeable about manners.

The old lady struck a high-and-mighty pose, very much the old matriarch of the family.

She was not at all as amiable as usual.

The old lady curled her lips coldly.

For a moment, it was hard to tell if the old lady was smiling or just giving a disdainful sneer.

"Well, you certainly are quite presumptuous," the old lady said coldly, "Truly mannerly families, before visiting, especially before a first-time visit, should greet the host family, shouldn’t they?"

"Ask if the host is home, if they are available, decide on a visiting time, inquire if it’s convenient for the host," the old lady said coldly.

"But you came unannounced, leaving us completely unprepared. From this action of yours, I truly couldn’t see how much you adhere to etiquette," the old lady mocked.

Xu Huizhen hastily said, "Madam, you misunderstand. We didn’t have your contact information, so we had no choice but to come directly. Otherwise, why would we not contact in advance?"

The old lady raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? You managed to find out the address of our old residence but couldn’t find out the contact information?"

The old lady asked icily, "Do you think that because we’re old, our brains have become foolish?"

"No contact information, yet you managed to get the address of the old residence," the old lady said coldly, "You have quite the nerve!"

This remark startled Xu Huizhen, making her instinctively freeze in fear.

The old lady said, "No one has dared to investigate the address of our old residence!"

"Do you think it’s your ability that found out the address of the old residence?" the old lady mocked, "Our house is just here! God knows how many people pass by every day!"

"Many people want to visit, not because they don’t know the address, but because they don’t have our permission and don’t dare to come! It’s not that they can’t find our address, rather they don’t dare to!"

"Madam, you misunderstand!" Xu Huizhen hastily explained, "It’s not... not us who found it..."

"Ye Fei told us," Ye Ning immediately said.

Xu Huizhen nodded hastily in agreement, "Yes, yes, it was... Ye Fei who told us!"

"After all... after all, we are in-laws! The two kids got married, surely we should meet, right?" Xu Huizhen said immediately, "So, Ye Fei gave us the address here."

"We arranged to come today and also told her about it." Anyway, since Ye Fei wasn’t here, Xu Huizhen blatantly lied and put all the blame on Ye Fei.

As for whether Ye Fei would be disliked by the old lady because of this, she couldn’t care less.

"I didn’t realize Ye Fei didn’t tell you either?" Xu Huizhen slapped her thigh, "What’s Ye Fei doing with this? This child, why is she always like this!"

"Getting married without telling the family, and even when we were coming to visit, she didn’t mention it. She’s delayed so many important matters!" Xu Huizhen complained, "In-law, this matter is Ye Fei’s fault."

"I’ll definitely have a word with her later!" Xu Huizhen seemed to be defending Ye Fei, "She got married, there must be many areas she falls short in, just like this time she messed up, it’s probably not the first."

"But she’s still young, please don’t take it to heart with her. But if something is done wrong, you should let her know, so that the child can improve."

Xu Huizhen sighed again, "Ye Fei, that child, is like this at home too, never says anything, from childhood to adulthood, who knows how many things she’s hidden from us, delaying many family matters."

"But what can we do? She’s our daughter; as parents, we have no choice but to tolerate her. But outside, who would tolerate her endlessly like we do?"

"She’s definitely caused quite a bit of trouble after marrying into your family, I truly apologize for that."

"Just like 5 years ago, she ran off to Ye City without a word, not telling us, until her sister ran into her recently and asked her why she left so suddenly. She finally said she just wanted to try her luck in Ye City and develop her career there."

"You see the fuss, she wanted to develop in Ye City, why couldn’t she say it openly at home? Why sneak away? We ended up searching for her everywhere back then."

"We’ve been worried about her safety all these years. Even if she wanted to try her luck in Ye City, couldn’t she wait until after graduating university?"

"The family raised her to go to university, paying her tuition, yet after completing the first year, she decided to drop out without a word and came to Ye City."

"She’s been an average student since she was young, finally got into Yecheng University. Though Yecheng University isn’t a prestigious school, at least it’s a legitimate undergraduate degree. Isn’t graduating from university better than just high school?"

"I really don’t know what she’s thinking."

Since it was Xu Huizhen doing the talking, the old man figured as a man, he didn’t want to argue with her, so he kept silent.

But her shameless remarks had infuriated him. He secretly tugged at the old lady.

The old lady thought that this old man was just impatient. Even if he didn’t pull her, she was ready to speak.

The old lady didn’t say much else to Xu Huizhen, instead fixing on the loopholes in her words, smiling without warmth, and asking, "Five years ago, when Ye Fei ran off without a word, were you not in such a hurry that you didn’t report it to the police?"

"Now that the internet is so developed, if you had reported to the police, you could have posted Ye Fei’s photo everywhere, spread it online, and there would surely be kind people who would see it."
