“By the way, let’s not go out to drink today. Let’s go to your house instead. I want to visit Uncle and Auntie too.”
“Alright, I’ll call my mom right away and ask her to prepare some good dishes. They’ll be very happy to know that you’re back.”
When Ye Xiaofei called, he did not avoid Meng Zhijing.
Meng Zhijing could tell from Ye Xiaofei’s tone and demeanor that this person had a very good relationship with Ye Xiaofei. From the way he addressed him, she could basically determine that he was the Fatty who had drunk with Ye Xiaofei here the day before yesterday.
After that, he specially checked the surveillance footage and saw that Fatty knew that he couldn’t win the fight, but he would rather get drunk and endure a beating together with Ye Xiaofei. Although this guy’s approach was foolish, it had to be said that this was a true life-and-death friendship for Ye Xiaofei.
After the incident, Ye Xiaofei and Fatty stayed in the same room, which made it even more obvious that the two of them had a close relationship.
Meng Zhijing already had a plan in her heart. In the future, she would definitely have to maintain a good relationship with this Fatty.
…..
Seeing that Ye Xiaofei was about to leave, Meng Zhijing quickly took out a bag of things and said, “Mr. Ye, here are two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes. Take them with you.”
Ye Xiaofei laughed and said, “You’re really thoughtful.”
Meng Zhijing smiled charmingly. Being praised by Ye Xiaofei was the greatest reward.
Half an hour later, Ye Xiaofei arrived at Wang Dabao’s house.
Over the past five years, Ning City had changed a lot, but the residential area where Wang Dabao’s family lived had not changed much. In fact, it seemed even older.
“Xiaofei, quickly let Auntie take a look. It’s been five years and you haven’t even sent a letter. We were so worried about you.”
As soon as they entered the door, Wang Dabao’s mother held Ye Xiaofei’s hand and looked him up and down. There were even tears in her eyes.
Ye Xiaofei was deeply moved in an instant and hurriedly said, “Auntie, this is my fault. I should have kept in touch with you.”
“That’s right. Come on in and sit. Treat this as your own home.”
Ye Xiaofei grinned and said, “Of course. I’ve never treated myself as an outsider. Aunty, this is for you.”
“Look at you, child. You come here. Why did you bring a gift? You’re really wasting money.” Wang Dabao’s mother took the things, but her voice was full of reproach.
Ye Xiaofei quickly said,” It’s okay. My friend gave it to me. I’ll give it to Uncle and Auntie. I didn’t spend any money.”
“That’s more like it. You guys continue chatting. The food will be ready soon.”
After a while, Wang Dabao and his father returned with two boxes of beer. Everyone sat at the dining table.
Wang Dabao’s parents didn’t ask how Ye Xiaofei had been doing these past few years. They had already heard from Wang Dabao that Ye Xiaofei’s condition wasn’t good. They didn’t ask because they were afraid that Ye Xiaofei would be embarrassed.
After drinking some beer, Wang Dabao slammed the table and recounted the events of the day at work.
Wang Dabao’s father was a cautious person. He immediately said worriedly, “Dabao, could this be a trap?”
“Dad, don’t worry. I’m not stupid. I know the company’s situation very well. It’s just that we’re short of money, but there’s really no problem. So, after signing the contract, I won’t bear any responsibility. I think that it was a big misunderstanding. I don’t know which idiot made a mistake and made our boss misunderstand that it was me, Xiaofei!”
Wang Dabao patted Ye Xiaofei’s shoulder and said, “Tell me, is that person an idiot? How could he make a mistake with something worth five million? Hah hah!”
Ye Xiaofei’s mouth twitched and said, “You’re really stupid. The benefits actually fell on you, an idiot.”
Wang Dabao laughed proudly and said, “Anyway, I felt good. I didn’t touch a single penny of it.”
Wang Dabao’s father said, “Honey, go get me some white wine. The beer is too light and it’s bloating.”
Wang Dabao’s mother said, “We don’t have any at home. If you want to drink, why didn’t you bring a bottle with you earlier?”
Ye Xiaofei quickly said, “I brought some white wine for Uncle just now. How about you try it?”
Wang Dabao’s mother quickly went over to take out the bag and took out the wine inside. Wang Dabao’s father took it and immediately shouted in surprise, “F*ck, Moutai! Moreover, it was 30 years old. This bottle of wine cost several thousand yuan, right?”
Wang Dabao’s mother was shocked and said, “Here are two bottles and two packs of cigarettes.”
Wang Dabao snatched the cigarette and exclaimed, “Sky Flower Cigarette, I know this cigarette. It costs more than 1,000 yuan each.”
Two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes were worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Wang Dabao’s mother hurriedly said, “Put it away quickly, Xiaofei. You should return these things.”
Ye Xiaofei hurriedly said, “These were given to me by a friend. I can’t return it. Moreover, I brought it to show my respect to Uncle and Auntie.”
Wang Dabao directly tore open the cigarette packaging and said, “That’s right. This kid is just eating and drinking in our house. It’s only right for him to buy something. We don’t need to be polite with him.”
Ye Xiaofei also opened the packaging of the wine and said, “Dabao is right. If you don’t accept it, I’ll feel too embarrassed to come here for meals in the future.”
Then, he poured it for Wang Dabao’s father and said, “Uncle, this is the first time you’re drinking my wine.”
“Yes! Yes!” Wang Dabao’s father’s eyes lit up. He wasn’t good with formalities, and his attention was completely focused on the wine.
“This… Don’t open it, though.” Wang Dabao’s mother quickly shouted. For ordinary people like them, cigarettes and wine were too extravagant.
Wang Dabao lit his cigarette and clapped his hands. “Dad, Mom, Xiao Fei even brought you a gift. I forgot to give it to you.”
As he spoke, he ran to the door and brought the leather suitcase over.
“This suitcase is good. This suitcase looks practical. It’s much better than this wine and cigarettes. Those things are so expensive. Once the wine is consumed and the cigarettes turn to ashes, they’re gone.”
Wang Dabao’s mother was still very pained when Wang Dabao and Ye Xiaofei opened the cigarette and alcohol.
“Eh, this is quite heavy. There’s something in the suitcase.” Wang Dabao’s mother lifted it and immediately turned to look at Wang Dabao.
Wang Dabao said, “Xiaofei said to give it to you, but I didn’t open it to take a look. You can take a look yourself.”
Ye Xiaofei was puzzled. He had already given Wang Dabao a million yuan, but this guy didn’t even give him anything in return. It turned out that he didn’t even look at the things in the box.
It was no wonder that he didn’t expect that the company was bought by him, Ye Xiaofei.
Ye Xiaofei looked at Wang Dabao with a smile. He knew that a good show was about to begin.
Wang Dabao rolled his eyes and said, “Hey, what’s with that look? I treat you like a brother. Don’t even think about having a child with me.”
Ye Xiaofei’s face darkened. He slapped him and scolded, “Can you even give birth?”
“Ah!” Wang Dabao’s mother suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. She pointed at the open box and stuttered..
