Chapter 29

The black dog led Ye Hao and his gang in a hasty retreat.

Ye Fei received the cheers and applause of the entire market.

The black dog and his gang had been oppressing them, making it hard to breathe. Now, with Ye Fei's help, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief and even save on management fees. The vendors were instantly grateful.

So, everyone crowded around, not only buying out all the cool tea but also offering their own goods.

Chickens, ducks, geese, fish, and various vegetables and fruits quickly piled up at the cool tea stall.

Ye Fei wanted to return the gifts, but was scolded by the uncles and aunts for being disrespectful.

Ye Fei and Shen Biqin had no choice but to accept them reluctantly.

They wouldn't need to buy groceries for half a month.

Shen Biqin was in high spirits, her face glowing more than ever before. She then smiled and led Ye Fei and Tang Ruoxue home.

At noon, six dishes and one soup were laid out on the dining table, all delicious and fragrant, making Ye Fei and Tang Ruoxue enjoy their meal thoroughly.

Ye Fei and Tang Ruoxue didn't leave until around five o'clock to return to the Tang family.

However, just as they reached the rental building, Tang Ruoxue received a call and then pulled Ye Fei into a BMW.

During the drive, Tang Ruoxue informed him that her brother-in-law's family was hosting a dinner tonight.

Her brother-in-law, Han Jianfeng, had seen a significant increase in business and had just secured a major project. Her sister, Han Sisi, had also been promoted to department manager, making it a double celebration.

So, the Han family invited Lin Qiuling and others to a luxurious restaurant, Da Fu Hao.

Lin Qiuling and Tang San had some matters to attend to, so they asked Tang Ruoxue and Ye Fei to represent them.

Hearing this, Ye Fei was quite resistant: "Can I not go?"

The Rolex incident had greatly embarrassed the Han couple, and Ye Fei was worried they would target him harshly.

Tang Ruoxue joked, "Your brother-in-law and sister-in-law specifically mentioned that you must be there. If you don't go, they will say the Tang family is impolite."

"Besides, if you don't show up to draw their attention, won't I be the one they mock?"

Ye Fei patted Tang Ruoxue's thigh: "You're willing to sacrifice your friend but not your own life."

His palm touched the silk stockings, feeling very good, with a hint of warmth.

Tang Ruoxue's body visibly trembled, clearly resisting the touch, but she unusually did not push Ye Fei's hand away.

She didn't scream or get angry, just pretended not to see and focused on driving.

Unconsciously, she had a bit more recognition for this man.

Ye Fei took the opportunity to rub her leg... Tang Ruoxue didn't react.

Ye Fei rubbed a bit higher... Tang Ruoxue's eyelids twitched, but she didn't make a sound.

Ye Fei rubbed a bit higher again.

"Are you done yet?"

Tang Ruoxue shouted at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei was startled and withdrew his hand... At seven o'clock in the evening, Ye Fei and Tang Ruoxue appeared in the Cizi private room at Da Fu Hao.

The private room was luxuriously decorated, with three large round tables, enough to seat thirty people. The minimum consumption per table was 8,000 yuan, showing that the Han family had spared no expense.

The round tables were already full of people, all chatting happily.

Tang Ruoxue introduced Ye Fei to everyone, but the Han family relatives were indifferent and even impatient, making Tang Ruoxue quite disheartened.

Han Jianfeng's parents, though the hosts, were also distant, pointing to the seats by the door.

Tang Fenghua and Han Sisi didn't even give Ye Fei a proper look.

Ye Fei didn't mind, pulling Tang Ruoxue to sit by the door.

Tang Ruoxue glared at him: "You really have a big heart, can you still eat in such a situation?"

"Can't you have a bit of pride and leave?"

Ye Fei smiled faintly: "We've given the gift, so we should at least have a meal."

Tang Ruoxue almost muttered "waste" again... Seeing everyone gathered, the elegant and proud Han mother stood up: "Today, Jianfeng signed a 30 million yuan project with Zhang's Chamber of Commerce, and Sisi has become the administrative manager of a branch of Wuhu Group."

"They have achieved this today thanks to the encouragement of our elders and siblings."

"My husband and I have set up these tables to thank everyone for their support."

Han father laughed and stood up: "Everyone, enjoy your meal and drinks tonight. If you need anything, just let us know."

"Mom, Dad, elders, and siblings."

Han Jianfeng also stood up with a glass of wine: "I won't say much. I'll drink first."

He drank it all in one go.

"Jianfeng and Sisi are so capable, they will soon soar. Don't forget us poor relatives when that happens."

"Tsk, tsk, to achieve so much at such a young age, impressive."

"One is a major project boss, the other a senior executive in a Fortune 500 company. The Han family truly has many talents."

The Han family relatives toasted and praised them enthusiastically.

The eldest uncle even slapped the table: "Children should be like this, children should be like this."

Han Jianfeng, with a wine-flushed face, said: "Uncle, aunt, you're too kind."

"Regardless of how successful my sister and I become, we are still one family."

Han Sisi also raised her delicate face: "If you need anything in the future, just let us know. We won't let you down."

The Han siblings spoke grandly, and the relatives were very satisfied, followed by more praise.

Han father and mother were beaming with pride.

"Hey..." Tang Fenghua suddenly looked at Ye Fei, who was eating diligently: "Ruoxue, not to criticize you, but you should also encourage your Ye Fei."

"Jianfeng is only three years older than Ye Fei, though not a Forbes billionaire, he has a car, a house, and a company."

"Your Ye Fei, on the other hand, has achieved nothing and still needs the Tang family to support him."

She wanted to vent her anger over the Rolex incident: "If you're not embarrassed, I am embarrassed for the Tang family."

"It's not Ye Fei's fault, he has tried hard."

Han Jianfeng smiled insincerely: "But his abilities are limited, otherwise, he wouldn't have become a live-in son-in-law."

Tang Ruoxue's face changed slightly, wanting to say something but was stopped by Ye Fei's shake of the head.

He hadn't finished eating yet... Han father and mother looked over, their eyes filled with deep disdain.

Being a live-in son-in-law, while their own son was a major boss, Ye Fei relied on the Tang family's charity, how could they not look down on him?

"Ah, this is the Tang family's live-in son-in-law?"

"Looking like a normal person, how can he be so useless?"

"If he were smart, he wouldn't have torn up Jianfeng's antique painting."

"He even bought a fake ginseng fruit as a birthday gift for his mother-in-law. Fortunately, Jianfeng discovered it early and stopped it, or it would have been a disaster... And he bought a fake Rolex to show off in front of relatives."

"Vain..."

The birthday banquet incident and the Rolex conflict, exaggerated by Han Jianfeng, had already distorted the truth among the Han family relatives.

Tang Fenghua didn't speak up to explain.

Tang Ruoxue's face was filled with anger: "It's not like that..."

"Without any ability, just be content and don't make the Tang family clean up after you."

The eldest uncle of the Han family scolded Ye Fei: "Be down-to-earth, don't aim too high."

Ye Fei, while gnawing on a chicken leg, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

Han Sisi glanced at Ye Fei, her face full of arrogance and disdain.

"Sisi, now that you're a manager, see if Wuhu Company needs any help. Let Ye Fei do some odd jobs there, at least to earn a living."

Tang Fenghua suggested, actually to see the joke: "Family is family, if you can help, do so."

"Fenghua, what are you saying?"

Han mother's attitude was arrogant: "Sisi works for Wuhu Group, a Fortune 500 company. How can she use backdoor connections?"

"That's right, Mom is right."

"Wuhu is a large group. Although I manage a dozen people as an administrative manager, I can't just place anyone."

Han Sisi looked at Ye Fei with disdain: "In our company, even the janitors need a bachelor's degree. Someone like Ye Fei can't be placed there."

In her eyes, Ye Fei was like mud, incapable of being shaped into anything.

"Come work with me."

Han Jianfeng waved his hand: "I'm working with Zhang's company on the Disney project, which is huge and needs many people."

"Ye Fei, come to Disney tomorrow to move bricks. I'll pay you 5,000 yuan a month."

Tang Fenghua smiled slyly: "Ye Fei, shouldn't you thank your brother-in-law?"

"Ah?"

Ye Fei put down his chopsticks, looking slightly surprised: "Sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't hear what you said."

Han Jianfeng: "..." Han family relatives: "..."

"What's wrong with you? Your brother-in-law kindly arranged a decent job for you, and you didn't even hear it?"

The eldest uncle of the Han family scolded: "Are you deaf?"

Tang Ruoxue's cheeks flushed, wanting to say something but was held back by Ye Fei.

Ye Fei ignored them, continuing to eat and drink. He had given a 2,000 yuan red envelope, so he had to eat more to make it worth it.

"You just know how to eat, eat, eat. The elders said so much, and you don't even respond."

"Don't blame him, he rarely gets to eat at a fancy restaurant. He's just trying to enjoy it."

The Han family relatives criticized Ye Fei for being disrespectful.

Han Sisi also looked down on Ye Fei with her long, silk-clad legs.

Tang Ruoxue's face was also very unhappy. If not for Ye Fei holding her back, she would have overturned the table and left.

"Bang..." At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Ye Fei, sitting in the corner, had his arm bumped, and the chicken leg he was gnawing fell to the ground.

Then, several tough-looking men in black burst into the private room. One of them, a young man with long hair and a cigarette, shouted at the Han family: "All of you, get out. We want this room."

Han Jianfeng slammed the table: "We haven't finished eating."

"Chairman Zhang of Zhang's company wants to sit here. Even the emperor would have to give him some face."

The young man with the cigarette looked at Han Jianfeng disdainfully: "Are you not giving it?"
