Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 145 Someone coming home
The whole city was discussing Ye Jinxuan, and naturally, these words also reached Ye Jiayao's ears.

Others don’t know where the rumor came from, but Ye Jiayao knows it clearly: it’s no one else except Xia Chunyu.

What on earth is this guy doing? Aren't they irrelevant? Why is he looking for her in such a big way?
He paints himself as the most romantic person in the world, but damn, he is almost the best horse in the world.

So angry.

Ye Jiayao was angry, while Helian Jing was nervous. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to go to Tianshangju for the past two days.

Li Yao had stayed in Heifenggang. Li Yao was a woman.

Brother Chunyu had been so protective of Li Yao before, and that day at Lantingxuan, Brother Chunyu even scolded Liuli for Li Yao.

And that day when he went to Brother Chunyu to discuss the real and fake Miss Ye, they were both so sure that the current Miss Ye was fake.

And the look in Chunyu Ge's eyes when he looked at Li Yao was full of affection.

So...could it be that Chunyu Ge's wife Miss Ye as rumored is Li Yao?

This thought made him very hurt and crazy.

He hoped it wasn't true, but he didn't dare to verify it, which almost drove him crazy.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Helian Jing went to find his elder brother.

"Brother, what did you mean by the outsiders and their affairs that you mentioned that day?" His intuition told him that his brother must know something.

Helian Xuan glanced at the irritable Xiao Jing and said slowly, "It means exactly what it says."

"I don't understand, please tell me in detail." Helian Jing muttered.

"How about more details? They can solve the conflict between themselves. Why do they need you to get involved?" Helian Xuan thought Xiao Jing was still struggling over the 500,000 taels of silver.

"I'm telling you, even if you really take 500,000 taels, Chunyu won't let you go. Is this clear enough?"

Helian Jing was immediately misled: "Why doesn't he let go? One should not go back on one's word."

"Well, let me ask you, did Chunyu personally promise Li Yao to release the person if he paid 500,000 taels?" Helian Xuan asked.

Helian Jing hesitated, "I don't know about that."

Helian Xuan sneered: "You don't know anything, yet you're still meddling in this."

"Yaoyao said that, and she is absolutely right." Helian Jing said affirmatively.

"Xiao Jing, be obedient. Everything will be fine in a few days. I promise." Helian Xuan was afraid of his younger brother who always bothered him.

Helian Jing wondered, "You promise? On what basis can you promise? Did Brother Chunyu tell you something?"

"Nothing was said, but I know Chunyu's temper. He knows his limits."

"He has no sense of propriety at all. He compared Yaoyao and Liu Yiyi in front of everyone. It's so infuriating." Helian Jing was still angry when he recalled what he said that day.

Helian Xuan disagreed: "Maybe Li Yao offended Chunyu, and Chunyu deliberately wanted to anger him."

Chunyu is a person who is very generous when he is generous, but can be very serious when he is serious.

"Brother Chunyu, why is you acting like a woman?" Helian Jing said disdainfully.

Speaking of women, Helian Jing finally remembered the purpose of his visit.

"Brother, have you seen Chunyu's wife?"

"never seen it."

"Maybe we all know each other?" Helian Jing asked indirectly.

Helian Xuan became alert: "Haven't you heard about jumping off a cliff? Where are we going to meet?"

"you sure?"

"Get out of here now. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Helian Xuan drove him away irritably.

Helian Jing left the study in dejected mood, feeling extremely bad.

Ye Jiayao prepared the dinner and was called over by Manager Zhao.

"Here are some orders for private banquets. I've raised the price for you. Previously, the starting price was 300 taels for 20 tables, but now it's 300 taels for 10 tables. Please check the date and make arrangements in advance."

Ye Jiayao looked at the tables one by one. There were six in total, adding up to 160 tables, which came to 4,800 taels. After deducting 40%, there were still more than 2,000 taels left. After dividing it among everyone, the amount was still considerable. Not bad, at least she could make some money from the private banquet.

Huh? Wei Mansion? Which Wei Mansion?
Ye Jiayao is particularly sensitive to people with the surname Wei and Mu.

But there is no name written on it, just an address, and the time is the day after tomorrow.

"Got it, Manager Zhao, I want to ask, when will the shopkeeper come?" Ye Jiayao wanted to find out what Xia Chunyu was up to. Did he want her to regain her identity? What would happen after she regained her identity? After making such a big fuss, would he really marry her? Even if he wanted to marry her, she didn't want to now.

Manager Zhao smiled and said, "The shopkeeper will come if he wants to."

Damn, he can't even speak human language. Forget it, it's useless to ask him. Ye Jiayao put the list in her pocket.

"By the way, Steward, I have something to discuss with you."

"You said."

"It's like this. I hired two people to make the ice cream before, and also to make the molds. They have to be paid for this, right? I'm also working for the restaurant, you can't ask me to pay for it, right?" Ye Jiayao thought about it, since you're stingy, then I won't be generous either, and I have to calculate all the money that should be calculated.

"Manager Li had verbally promised to pay the wages before. If he doesn't, I won't be able to ask them to work for me again in the future."

Manager Zhao was straightforward this time: "Ice cream is paid monthly. You can calculate how much it is. As for making molds, well, these molds are really well made. I will charge you 20% higher than the market price. Write a bill and I will ask the accountant to pay you after I review it."

"Okay." Ye Jiayao said goodbye.

In fact, she had already paid the wages to Jiang Li and Jiang Yue. All that was calculated now was hers. Although the amount was not much, a small amount was still meat, and we couldn't complain about the small amount of money.

Ye Jiayao returned to the courtyard and Jiang Li opened the door for her: "Madam, someone is coming to your house."

Ye Jiayao thought she had heard wrongly: "What do you mean someone is coming to my house? Who is it?"

Does she have any family? Could it be that Jinrong and the others are here to find her? Uh... she is not ready to deal with this!
"Xuan'er..." A middle-aged couple walked out of the room, and the woman called her excitedly.

Ye Jiayao was stunned for a moment, and called out in disbelief: "Uncle, aunt?"

"Xuan'er, my poor Xuan'er, I can't believe that they would do such a cruel thing. We have been kept in the dark and thought you were living well in Jinan. I'm so heartbroken." The woman hugged Ye Jiayao and cried.

"Uh...Aunt, you all know about this?" Ye Jiayao was still a little dizzy.

"Yes, we rushed here as soon as we received the letter. The prince told us the whole story. At first we didn't quite believe it and thought it was unbelievable. Unexpectedly, it was all true. Xuan'er, don't worry, we will definitely help you get justice. Your grandparents are old, otherwise they would have come too." said the eldest uncle.

Xia Chunyu...did he call my uncle here? Holy shit, my grandmother was in such poor health, and she had deliberately kept it a secret, but this guy ended up telling her everything.

"Are grandparents okay?" Ye Jiayao asked worriedly. She had wanted to go back to Zhenjiang to visit her grandparents after she had established herself in Jinling.

"Okay, everything is fine." Aunt Fang Wen wiped her tears.

"Everyone, come inside and talk!" Aunt Jiang came out to greet them.

Everyone went into the house and sat down. Jiang Yue served tea and then left, allowing the family to talk properly.

Fang Wenshi looked at Ye Jiayao dressed in men's clothes and heard that she was working in a restaurant. She felt more and more distressed. She was a lady from a wealthy family, but was forced into a desperate situation and had to disguise herself as a man to make a living. She had no home to return to and no relatives to recognize. The thought of it made her extremely angry.

"Master, this matter cannot be let go like this. People in our Fang family cannot be bullied like this." Fang Wen said angrily.

The uncle said: "Of course we can't just give up. Since the prince has a plan, we should cooperate with it."

"Xuan'er, you too, you didn't go to find uncle after you came back. If the prince hadn't told you, how long would you have kept it a secret from us? Do you feel like you are helpless and have no relatives?" Uncle couldn't help but scold Ye Jiayao while feeling distressed.

Ye Jiayao was touched to tears. She was more moved by her uncle's scolding than by his comfort.

Yes, she still has relatives who care about her.

Ye Jiayao choked up and said, "No, uncle, I'm just afraid that grandma won't be able to bear it if she finds out. Grandma loves me so much."

"You silly child, don't your grandmother feel bad for you doing this? Your grandmother is almost heartbroken." Fang Wen also complained.

"Okay, you are also very filial, so I won't blame you. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you still have the Fang family." The uncle said solemnly.

Ye Jiayao's tears rolled down and she nodded vigorously.

"Ye Binghuai, this ungrateful old man, would have been where he is today if it hadn't been for the financial support from the Fang family? My sister passed away early, leaving behind a child like you, but he couldn't even treat you well. As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He is worse than an animal." The eldest uncle cursed angrily.

"Uncle, have you met my father?"

"No, we came directly to Jinling and haven't been to Yangzhou yet. But I received a letter from your father last month. It was your grandmother who missed you and wrote to ask about you, saying that everything was going well for you in Jinan. I never thought that your father was such a person." Fang Wen said.

"I think this matter was mainly caused by Ning and Jin Rong." Ye Jiayao analyzed.

Dad was very cold to her and didn't care about her, but that was also because of Ning's meddling. During the period when she had just returned to Yangzhou from Zhenjiang, Dad was still quite nice to her.

"I disliked that bitch from the beginning. She had high cheekbones and a thin mouth. You could tell at first glance that she was a heartless person. Your grandmother said the same thing, so when we sent you back to Yangzhou, we were all very worried." Fang Wen said.

"She has been abusing me. She only dressed me up beautifully when people from my grandparents came to visit. After you left, I lived worse than a servant." Ye Jiayao didn't care anymore and said everything.

Fang Wen heard this and burst into tears again: "You are too honest, if you had told your family earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Ye Jiayao was speechless. Yes, why didn't the original owner say anything? It was obvious that she was extremely useless. She really deserved to be abused. She was lucky to live to be seventeen.
