Chapter 234: Chapter 231 The Good-Tempered Stubborn MuleAs soon as Ye Fan answered his uncle’s call, he felt a surge of anger coming his way.

    "Ye Fan, I’m warning you, I don’t care who you befriend, but stay away from shady women."

    "I just glanced at her, and she called me a country bumpkin, berating me for not having seen beautiful women and whatnot. It’s simply too much. Even worse, she said the tea we kindly prepared for her was horrible. It’s downright rude."

    "In the future, don’t bring such friends home. High-class girls are beyond the reach of our Ye Family, and we have no intention to provoke them. I’m giving you two choices now: either break off with such friends, or stop considering me your uncle."

    "Though the Ye Family has declined, we still won’t take insults from others."

    Ye Qingping, filled with rage, blamed all his discontent on Ye Fan.

    He was furious, but knowing better than to embarrass Zhao Shiyan directly, he chose to criticize Ye Fan for making such a poor choice of friend.

    Ye Fan was dumbfounded, his eyes glazed over as he listened to his uncle’s tirade, utterly confused.

    "What friend? Who is she? What’s going on?" Ye Fan asked patiently, frustrated.

    "Don’t play dumb with me! Do you think playing dumb will get you out of this?" Ye Qingping scolded, raising his voice. "I wouldn’t normally meddle in your friendships, but bringing a friend who angers us at home? Be careful, or I’ll teach you a lesson!"

    "Uncle, don’t be mad. Just tell me what happened? Why are you so angry?" Ye Fan cautiously replied, worried and puzzled about what was upsetting his uncle.

    "Tell you? Why should I even bother explaining to you? Watch yourself!" Ye Qingping shouted.

    Ye Fan made a face worse than crying, not knowing what to say.

    "What’s going on with your uncle? Why is he so angry?" Chu Mengyao and Chu Biyao exchanged bewildered glances.

    Ye Fan knew that with his uncle in such a rage, he wouldn’t get any sensible answers, so he handed the phone to the two sisters.

    "It’s up to you now. Quickly find out what happened? I don’t mind being scolded ignorantly, but it’s important to understand the situation. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious." Ye Fan whispered to Mengyao.

    "Uncle, this is Mengyao. Can you tell me what’s going on?" Chu Mengyao spoke up.

    Ye Qingping paused for three seconds, then curbed his anger and adopted a more polite tone: "Mengyao, let your aunt tell you. I’m too tired to explain."

    "Hello, Auntie," Chu Mengyao greeted.

    "Good, good, good," Xu Xia replied three times before explaining unhappily.

    After finally listening to Xu Xia, Chu Biyao exploded first. She took the phone and said, "Uncle, Auntie, this woman claiming to be Ye Fan’s friend is not actually his friend. She’s somewhat acquainted with my sister and has a crush on Ye Fan. She even publicly claimed to be Ye Fan’s girlfriend. When Ye Fan ignored her, she turned her attention to you guys. I suspect she wants to win your favor to get closer to Ye Fan. Be careful not to be deceived by her; she’s very cunning and manipulative."

    Initially, Ye Qingping and Xu Xia’s attitude towards Zhao Shiyan was extremely poor. Hearing Biyao’s words, they felt that what they experienced was just the tip of Zhao Shiyan’s malicious nature, further increasing their discontent towards her.

    "So that’s how it is. We’re much more at ease now," Xu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, said with a smile, "Biyao, drop by more often. I’ll cook something delicious for you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now."

    "Okay, goodbye Uncle and Auntie," Chu Biyao sweetly replied.

    Xu Xia hung up the phone and immediately scolded her husband, "You old fool, couldn’t you have said it nicely? The truth is out now, Fanfan’s already miserable enough, and you scolded him. Now you know you were wrong, don’t you?" S~ea??h the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Ye Qingping had no anger left, his face slightly flushed. He forcefully defended, "I scolded him for his own good. If the Ye family’s lineage can’t handle criticism, then I’ve failed as an elder."

    "I asked you to comfort Fanfan, and you refused. You need to admit when you’re wrong. You’re as obstinate as a mule, do you know that?" Xu Xia said with a cold face.

    "What did I do wrong? I’m not wrong," Ye Qingping confidently replied, "I’m heading to the factory now, don’t bother me unless it’s urgent."

    "Stubborn mule," Xu Xia cursed as she watched her husband’s figure fade away.

    Ye Qingping hummed a tune as he headed to the factory. His anger stemmed from fearing Ye Fan might have dubious ties with someone like Zhao Shiyan. Now that the truth was out, indicating Ye Fan still had the Ye family’s blood, he felt relieved and happy about his character.

    As for apologizing to Ye Fan, what a joke; as a dignified elder, he wouldn’t apologize to the younger generation.

    Even if he was wrong, it was a free lesson for Ye Fan.

    In the villa, after fully grasping the sequence of events, Chu Biyao analyzed, "With my smart brain, here’s what happened: the schemer went to Uncle’s house to curry favor with them, intending to win Ye Fan’s favor indirectly. When she encountered Uncle at the door as it was their first meeting, she naturally didn’t recognize him. She inquired about him, and Uncle wondered who she was and why she was there. Uncle glanced at the schemer more intently which annoyed her, making her think of Uncle as a villain and being disrespectful with words, naturally angering Uncle."

    "But Uncle has a good temper. Seeing that she’s just a girl and claiming to be Ye Fan’s friend, he didn’t hold it against her."

    "Uncle gave her directions, she chatted with Auntie, and after leaving, she complained about the tea, which Uncle overheard. With his character, he’d never bother with a girl, so he mentioned it to Auntie, who initially had a favorable view of the schemer, helping her see the truth. That’s why they made this call."

    "Eventually, Uncle took it out on the Ye family’s lineage, on Fanfan."

    "In my opinion, Uncle is serious. If Ye Fan had a deep relationship with that schemer, it would be a disaster."

    Chu Biyao passionately recounted, vividly speaking.

    She never mentioned Zhao Shiyan again, instead giving her sister’s friend the title of a schemer.
