Daddy Come Home For Dinner

Chapter 1: Manipulation

“Bang!”

With a deathly pale face, Ye Fei rushed out from one of the guest rooms in the hotel.

As she ran, she tidied the clothes on her body in a panic.

The sky outside was still dark, and so was the room. In fact, she hadn’t even clearly seen the features of that man lying next to her just now.

After dashing out of the hotel and realizing where she was, she could only flag down a taxi to return home. Frankly, it was unsafe for her to walk on the road in her current condition.

But when she touched her pockets, her heart grew cold.

She had not brought her cell phone out!

But she didn’t dare to return to the room now either!

Fortunately, she still had more than 70 dollars of cash in her pocket, so it would be enough for her to take a taxi home.

Ye Fei hurriedly hailed down a taxi and gave her address to the driver.

While she was sitting alone in the backseat, Ye Fei recalled what happened the night before.

Last night was all she could remember—after she had sent away the last table of guests in that small family restaurant.

After she was done cleaning the tables, her older sister Ye Ning, who was dressed fashionably, walked in with her Chanel bag and high heels.

The appearance of an elite urban beauty contrasted against the small family restaurant.

“Ning Ning, why have you come?” Mother Ye, Xu Huizhen, walked out from behind the cashier’s desk in a hurry. She pulled on Ye Ning’s hand affectionately, “You’re already so tired from work, why did you still come here?

Internally, Ye Fei was thinking, just by looking at Ye Ning’s attire, she didn’t look as if she had just left her workplace.

Ye Ning smiled as a result, “I’m busy with work so I can’t manage our family’s restaurant. Hence, I can only come and have a look after my work.”

Xu Huizhen hurriedly spoke to Ye Fei. “Ye Fei, look at your elder sister. She’s thinking about our family restaurant even while she’s busy with her work. You usually don’t have a lot on your hands since you’re studying, yet you aren’t happy when I get you to come over and help out. It costs our family a lot of money to pay for your studies. What does it matter if you just treat it like you are paying for your school fees here?”

“Ye Fei, did you complain again?” Ye Ning said unhappily, “You’re in your second year of university now, so you’re not busy anyway. What’s wrong with you coming home and helping out? To be frank, if I have to say, you don’t even have to study in a university. You’re not like those people who still need to graduate in order to find a job outside.”

Ye Ning released Xu Huizhen’s hand. She went behind the counter and took two bottles of beer before she walked over to Ye Fei and Xu Huizhen.

“Even if you don’t go to college, isn’t there a place for you at our family restaurant?” Ye Ning lectured her, “You can even save on the school fees. Just look at how tired our dad and mom are.

“If you can go to college, why can’t I? It’s not like our family can’t afford to let me go to college. It doesn’t matter what I do after I graduate, as long as I can study and expand my knowledge, it is still an advantage,” Ye Fei said coldly.

She was unlike Ye Ning. Ye Ning fancied making connections with people of a higher social status, so that she could become a part of those within the cream of the crop.

But Ye Fei truly loved the culinary arts. She loved trying different ways to make all types of dishes.

She could sacrifice all of her break times to come and help but she definitely had to continue studying.

“I simply don’t understand why I’m being treated like a sinner for attending college in our family,” Ye Fei pursed her lips.

“Ye Fei! How can you speak to your elder sister like that?!” Xu Huizhen lifted her hand and smacked Ye Fei’s back harshly.

A crisp “Pa!” rang out. It sounded painful just listening to it. As though the slap landed directly on the flesh without the clothes serving as a barrier.

Ye Fei was in so much pain that her entire body had stiffened. Then, she head Xu Huizhen say, “Your elder sister has graduated already and is working as an executive manager in the most famous restaurant in our city, Ye Cheng. What about you? Even after you graduate, you will still have to return to our family restaurant to become a waitress. Tell me, what purpose is there for you to go to college!”

“I can also leave to find a good job. It’s only because the two of you can’t bear to let Older Sister work in our family restaurant that you forced me to return. That’s all.” Ye Fei coldly retorted.

Even if she returned to their family restaurant, the thing she wanted the most was to become a chef.

“Say that again! If you say that again, I’ll get you to drop out of school tomorrow!” Xu Huizhen raised her hand and was about to give Ye Fei a slap.

Ye Fei pursed her lips. Ye Ning was the treasure of the family; whatever she did was right. She was someone who could always make their parents proud.

But initially, Ye Ning could not even attend a third-rate university with her grades. Thus, Xu Huizhen spent the money to get Ye Ning into a third-rate international school. In the end, her two years overseas gave her a boost of status so when she returned from a foreign university with her graduation certificate, she found work as an executive manager in Ye Cheng.

Although that foreign university was actually not much better than a random diploma mill, this small place of theirs thought that as long as it was a foreign diploma, it was lofty.

As for Ye Fei, no matter how outstanding she was in her studies since she was young, she never received a single word of compliment. Xu Huizhen did not even allow her to enter B University, even though she could have with her grades. The latter forced her to stay in Ye Cheng’s own run-of-the-mill university so that even after she entered college, she could still take care of the chores in their family restaurant.

When she was outside, Xu Huizhen would boast to anyone she met that Ye Ning had graduated from a foreign university—that she was knowledgeable and had a good job.

But in reality, despite her two years abroad, Ye Ning still couldn’t even speak English properly.

When boasting about Ye Ning, she never forgot to disparage her ‘uselessness’; that she was still wasting their family’s money by attending a rotten local school.

Ye Fei laughed mockingly.

Seeing her behaving like this, Xu Huizhen became more furious.

Just when that palm was about to land on her, she was stopped by Ye Ning.

“Mum, let’s talk properly,” Ye Ning winked at Mother Ye.

Xu Huizhen curled her lips and withdrew her hand.

Ye Ning placed the beer on the table, “Mum, Ye Fe. Don’t quarrel anymore. Both of you haven’t eaten yet, right? I packed some new dishes from our restaurant as a takeaway for you guys to try. By the way, you can also study them so that our family restaurant can introduce new dishes as well and do better over time.”

Ye Ning arranged the takeout boxes nicely and poured a mug of beer for Ye Fei. “Ye Fei, I know that you have been working hard to help out at home. I have to work so I can’t lend much of a helping hand. Luckily, our family restaurant has you.”

Xu Huizhen wanted to retort, but was stopped by a look from Ye Ning.

Then, Ye Ning lifted her mug, “Come, Elder Sister will toast you with a glass. If there was any resentment previously, you shouldn’t lower yourself and argue with me either.

After speaking, Ye Ning downed the contents of the mug in one shot.

Ye Fei examined Ye Ning suspiciously. The other party seemed to have become a different person. This change made her feel strange.

“What’s wrong? You aren’t even willing to accept the toast that Elder Sister is offering?” Ye Ning lifted a brow.

Ye Fei glanced at the beer in the mug. Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t that bad, so she wasn’t too concerned about consuming this one mug.

Feeling suspicious, she slowly downed the alcohol in the mug.

But she didn’t expect that after putting down the mug, her brain would swell and her entire body collapsed onto the table.

This was all that Ye Fei could recall before she lost her consciousness last night.

Ye Fei’s fingernails dug into her palms deeply.

With everything that had happened, what else could she not understand?

She had obviously been manipulated by her own mother and older sister.

Although she didn’t manage to take a good look at that man’s face, according to her memories…

He was still young and had a good figure. Moreover, his voice sounded nice too.

To be honest, he didn’t seem to be the kind of person who needed to use this type of method to find a woman.

“Young lady, we’ve arrived. It’s 47 dollars,” the driver said as he stopped the car.

Ye Fei hurriedly paid the fare and entered the building.
