Chapter 329: Shoes Given by My Ex-Wife

"Grandpa, please try my braised chicken."

Bai Zhi picked up a piece of chicken for Ye Rufeng and warmly invited Ye Jingsong and the others to eat together.

"Xiao Zhi, this braised chicken is so delicious! I've never had such a good braised chicken in a restaurant."

Others who tried it also praised it highly.

Ye Qingchuan's mouth was stuffed full, and he gave Bai Zhi a thumbs up. "Twice-cooked pork is also delicious. I love twice-cooked pork the most. Every time my mom makes it, the meat is too tough to chew. My cousin's meat is tender and flavorful. It's really great."

Wang Lan has devoted all her energy to taking care of piglets at the pig farm over the years, and she is an expert at making pig feed.

But when it comes to cooking in the kitchen, he's really not very good.

She didn't think much of being disliked by her son.

She has her own area of ​​expertise.

One cannot have everything...

All she needs to do is raise pigs.

Just then, Ye Jingsong exclaimed, "Second Uncle, you've raised Xiaozhi so well! Not only is her medical skill so excellent, but she can also cook so well. She's beautiful, smart, and quick-witted..."

Wang Lan, "!!!"

A person can have everything!

Ye Jingsong is a sentimental person. At this point, he suddenly wiped away a tear and his voice choked up, "Perrin would be comforted in heaven."

Ye Jingsong suddenly mentioned Ye Peilan, and the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became somewhat tense.

Ye Rufeng, in particular, was already in a heavy mood, and his face looked even more unpleasant at this moment.

He poured himself a glass of baijiu and downed it in one gulp.

Undeniably, Ye Tiandong's refusal to forgive him over the years is well-deserved.

After all, he was not a good husband or a good father.

He failed to protect his lover and daughter.

Although many things are shaped by the times.

But it's also true that he lacks the ability.

At that time, he was like an ant, trampled and crushed by others, unable to do anything.

Now, when he talks about his daughter, he feels guilty and frustrated.

Ye Jinsong, Ye Peilan's cousin, was feeling melancholy and unable to control his emotions. He lamented, "How could Peilan have gotten married there when she went to work in the countryside? Sigh."

He dared not ask Ye Tiandong about Ye Peilan, for fear of stirring up painful memories.

This year, after Ye Tiandong went to the countryside to confirm Bai Zhi's identity and returned to Bincheng, he and his brother talked about Ye Peilan's situation.

According to Ye Tiandong, when Ye Peilan was working in the countryside, she was sexually harassed by Bai Zhicheng in public. Later, for the sake of her reputation, and because of her family background, she was in a difficult situation and got married in despair.

She knew she had made the wrong choice out of necessity, so she kept the fact that she was already married a secret from her family until her death.

Of course, things were also in a mess at home at that time. Her parents were locked up, and her younger brother was still young, so she had nowhere to confide in.

"Xiao Zhi, your father is a real scoundrel." Ye Jingsong couldn't help but cry as he thought of his cousin's misfortune. "Since he married Pei Lan, he should have treated her well. Why didn't he treat her when she was sick?"

"I heard that you married another woman not long after your mother passed away? What a bastard."

As Ye Jingsong finished speaking, Ye Qingbai glanced at him with a nonchalant expression.

He glanced at Wang Lan again.

Ye Jinsong felt that his son was subtly criticizing him.

Fearing that it might cause a misunderstanding between Bai Zhi and Lu Ye, he hurriedly spoke up to explain.

“Xiao Zhi, although I am also remarried, I did not abandon your ex-aunt.”

To prove himself, Ye Jinsong watched as they explained the reasons for the incident: "Back then, I divorced Qingbai's mother. It was Qingbai's mother who brought it up. She thought I was incompetent and said that there was no future with me. She couldn't stand the thought of living a life where she could see the end from the beginning, so she proposed to divorce me and go out to make her way in the world."

Ye Jingsong's tone was not tinged with resentment, but full of understanding and consideration. "Of course, I understand her too. I know she is a person with lofty ambitions, and her family is very supportive. Marrying me did indeed hold her back."

He and Ye Qingbo's mother were betrothed by their elders when they were children, and they had known each other since childhood.

In those days, few children could defy their parents, so they were able to get married smoothly when they reached marriageable age.

But after giving birth to her son, Ye Qingbai's mother simply couldn't accept a life revolving around her husband, children, and the kitchen.

She eventually filed for divorce and left.

He had known her since childhood and knew her temperament. If he kept her confined to the stove, she would go crazy.

Therefore, he chose to let go.

Ye Jinsong continued,

"So, neither of us wronged or hurt the other. We separated peacefully and wished each other well. When she sent something to Qingbai from abroad last time, she even sent me a pair of leather shoes."

"What? Those leather shoes of yours were sent by Qingbai's mother?" Wang Lan was immediately alarmed upon hearing his words. She widened her eyes and stared at him angrily, questioning, "Didn't you say that Qingbai bought those shoes for you?"

"Uh........*" Wang Lan growled, and Ye Jingsong shrank back in fright, instinctively moving to the side.

Oh no, he just blurted out the truth!

Wang Lan originally wanted to lose her temper, but since they were guests at someone else's house, it would be impolite of her to keep interrogating Ye Jingsong.

But she was really angry that Ye Jingsong had lied to her.

I feel a little sad.

He glared at Ye Jingsong with a resentful expression.

Ye Qingbo tried to comfort her, "Aunt Lan, don't be angry. My dad just said that he and my mom separated peacefully. My mom is doing well now, and sending my dad a pair of leather shoes is just to thank him for raising and taking care of me. My mom mentioned this in her letter to me, and there was no other meaning behind it."

Ye Qingbo looked at Wang Lan and continued, "The reason my dad told a white lie was because he was afraid you would feel uncomfortable if you knew. After all, as his current wife, you would definitely mind if your ex-wife gave you a gift."

Although Ye Qingbo was explaining, Wang Lan was still aggrieved. "But he treats those shoes like treasures. Every time he wears them on an important occasion, he carefully wipes them with a new towel when he comes back. When he applies shoe polish, he doesn't use the old shoe brushes we used. He even buys a new shoe brush to apply the polish."

Wang Lan used to think that his son bought it for him, which is why he cherished it so much.

Now that she knows it was bought by his ex-wife, she feels really uncomfortable thinking about how Ye Jingsong treasured it.

That fatso has a lot of ulterior motives.

Ye Qingbo and the others also looked strange upon hearing Wang Lan's words.

He looked at Ye Jingsong with an expression that said, "No one can save you."

Bringing the gifts from his ex-wife home was already daring; he didn't even know how to be discreet.

They even dared to treat those shoes so ostentatiously.

That's reckless.

He stopped speaking up for Ye Jingsong and instead looked at him with schadenfreude, telling him to handle it himself.
