Buying Clothes for Ye Lin
"I came to buy clothes with my brother. Is that a problem?" Ye Lin said irritably.
"Brother? You mean your sugar daddy, don't you? I heard your brother hasn't even graduated yet. Can he afford to buy you Prada? I also heard you were showing off a Patek Philippe watch on your Moments a few days ago. I thought you'd found a picture somewhere to show off, but now it looks like this sugar daddy gave you that too. Who would've thought that Ye Lin, our class's model student, would be someone's kept woman?"
Hearing Ye Lin slandered like that, Ye Feng slapped Zheng Guoguo across the face. He looked at her coldly and said, "Apologize!"
Clutching her swollen, aching face, Zheng Guoguo was full of disbelief. She had actually been hit. Not even her parents had ever hit her growing up, yet today she had been slapped because of Ye Lin. She looked at Ye Feng with a face full of jealous hatred and said, "How dare you hit me! Do you know who my godfather is? Just you wait!"
She picked up her phone, made a call, and began tearfully complaining.
Ye Lin looked at Ye Feng with some concern and said, "Brother, why don't we leave? Don't stoop to that crazy woman's level."
Ye Feng shook his head. He knew that if he didn't teach Zheng Guoguo a lesson today, she would definitely take revenge on Ye Lin in the future. He couldn't stay by Ye Lin's side all the time, and if she got hurt because of this, he would blame himself for the rest of his life.
Before long, a potbellied middle-aged man came over to Zheng Guoguo and said a few words to comfort her before shouting, "Who's tired of living and dared to hit my goddaughter? If you've got the guts, step forward!"
Ye Feng walked up to Chen Tai and said coldly, "I hit her. Is there a problem?"
"I'll fucking... Young Master Ye? What are you doing here?" Once Chen Tai saw who it was, he broke out in a cold sweat. How had that bitch Zheng Guoguo offended this man? He was someone who called Master Qian his brother.
"You know me?" Ye Feng asked in confusion. He had never met the man before him.
"Young Master Ye, I'm the general manager of the East Lake Hotel. You got drunk while eating with Master Qian yesterday, and I took you to rest. Don't you remember?" Chen Tai spoke cautiously, terrified of offending Ye Feng.
He had blacked out yesterday and had no memory at all of how he had gone to rest afterward.
"You tell me, how should this be settled?" Even though Chen Tai knew him, he still had to teach Zheng Guoguo a lesson.
"Zheng Guoguo! Come over here and kowtow to Young Master Ye and apologize!" Chen Tai no longer dared to stand up for this "goddaughter" of his. He didn't want to go down with her.
Zheng Guoguo was scared witless by now. She knew who the Master Qian Chen Tai had mentioned was, and she hurriedly dropped to her knees and apologized.
"Young Master Ye, Linlin, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have slandered you. I'm worthless, I'm not human." Zheng Guoguo slapped herself as she apologized.
Watching Zheng Guoguo beg for mercy, Ye Feng lost interest. He waved a hand and let Chen Tai take her away.
Chen Tai felt as though he had been granted amnesty and slunk away with Zheng Guoguo.
The store clerks were also watching Ye Feng nervously, afraid that something they had done might have displeased him. After all, he was Master Qian's friend, and they couldn't afford to offend him.
Seeing this, Ye Feng lost interest in shopping any further. He had a clerk pick out two of the newest bags and pack them up along with the three outfits Ye Lin had tried on earlier. After paying, he left with her.
"Brother, that felt so good! Zheng Guoguo is always picking on me at school. Let's see if she still dares to spread rumors from now on."
Seeing how pleased Ye Lin was, Ye Feng ruffled her hair and said, "All right, she definitely won't dare anymore. Remember to tell me if anything happens. Your brother will stand up for you."
Meanwhile, Chen Tai glared fiercely at Zheng Guoguo as though he wanted to eat her alive. This idiot had nearly caused him to offend Ye Feng. She was truly incapable of accomplishing anything but more than capable of ruining things!
"Zheng Guoguo! If you want to get yourself killed, don't drag me down with you! If you ever dare offend Young Master Ye or Miss Ye again, I'll sell you off to Myanmar."
Zheng Guoguo was scared now too. She couldn't understand how Ye Lin, an ordinary person, and Ye Feng, who was also a student, could call a big shot like Master Qian their brother. She had offended Ye Lin so badly before-would she be retaliated against? Fear filled her entire body.
After leaving Prada, the brother and sister were about to head home when a dessert cart caught Ye Lin's attention.
"Brother, I want an egg waffle. Will you buy me one?"
"You silly girl, if you want one, go buy it. It's not like you don't have any money."
"No, no. It tastes better when you buy it for me, hehe." Ye Lin wheedled.
Hearing his sister's words, Ye Feng had no choice but to take her over to the dessert cart.
"Boss, one strawberry egg waffle, one serving of takoyaki, and two lemon black teas."
"Coming right up. Miss, there are two egg waffles ahead of yours. You can rest at the tables and chairs over there for a bit. I'll call you when it's ready."
There were four simple plastic table-and-chair sets beside the dessert cart. The two found an empty spot and sat down.
"Brother, how are things going with your girlfriend, Meng Yue?"
"We've already broken up."
"Huh? You broke up! Brother, don't be sad. I think you should've broken up ages ago. Even though I've never met her in person, judging from your photos and the way you two got along, I don't think she liked you. She just treated you as a backup, the kind she could throw away at any time."
Ye Feng sighed. Even his own sister had seen it. How had he been so blind back then, mistaking coldness for a test?
"Brother, stop sighing. You're so handsome. I'll introduce you to a few girls later. Your little sister has several pretty best friends, you know."
"Miss, your order is ready."
Hearing the owner, Ye Feng hurriedly got up to fetch it. He really didn't want to hear his sister go on.
He scanned the code to pay, picked up the order, and put it on the table. Seeing that Ye Lin was about to speak again, he hurriedly said, "Stop, you don't need to say anything else. I have a new girlfriend."
Hearing this, Ye Lin's eyes grew brighter and brighter. She was about to ask more questions when a timid voice interrupted her.
A cute little girl of about six or seven stood beside her and said, "Big sister, I want an egg waffle."
Seeing how cute the little girl was, Ye Lin was immediately overcome with sympathy and imagined a whole series of scenes of a child being abandoned. She handed the egg waffle to the little girl and told her to eat slowly, saying she would buy her more if it wasn't enough.
Ye Lin turned her head and whispered, "Brother, do you think this little girl was abandoned? She's so pitiful. Why don't we take her home?"
Ye Feng looked at her as though she were an idiot. Her imagination was far too wild.
"Look at the little girl's clothes. They aren't a major brand, but they're very clean and neat. You can tell her parents dote on her. Now look at how she eats, taking little bites. That shows she's well brought up, and she doesn't look like she's gone a long time without food either. She probably only got separated from her parents recently."
