Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 570: You’ll Make It Up to Me, Won’t You?

Chapter 570: Chapter 570: You’ll Make It Up to Me, Won’t You?

"If you don’t believe me, you can feel it for yourselves. You can’t see it on camera, but it looks very textured," Ye Fei explained.

Xu Huizhen and Ye Dezhang both stepped forward to touch it.

Ye Dezhang was purely out of curiosity.

Xu Huizhen did it because she didn’t believe it.

But when she felt it, she really noticed a difference.

Upon closer inspection, she could even see small bubbles forming in some areas.

"The largest sum I ever spent was on buying the camera and lens," Ye Fei completely ignored Xu Huizhen and spoke directly to Ye Dezhang.

"Dad, when you look through the lens, doesn’t it feel different?" Ye Fei turned on the camera for Ye Dezhang to see.

Sure enough, it looked completely different through the lens.

"This..." Ye Dezhang was surprised.

"Through the lens, the whole color tone becomes more advanced," Ye Fei said, "The walls, which weren’t that white, now appear bright and clean. You can’t even tell the cabinets are covered in stickers, and the small bubbles are invisible."

"Isn’t it just like what you see in the videos?" Ye Fei asked.

Ye Dezhang nodded, "It is the same."

Even the angles were identical.

"I never expected that things would look so different through a lens," Ye Dezhang said in amazement.

"My fans and even Jiu Mei might think I’m rather well-off," Ye Fei said.

"After all, as a blogger, I can’t make myself look too shabby, right? It wouldn’t look good on camera. Regardless of what other bloggers’ homes are like off-camera, they all look glamorous on-screen."

"It’s like how so many people in Ye City dress elegantly on the streets, but when they return home, who knows what kind of apartments they’re renting? Many celebrities also lived in basements when they first came to the city, but when they went filming, they had to present themselves confidently. Who knows how hard things really are in private?"

"That’s how I am now," Ye Fei said forlornly, "I haven’t dared to contact family, fearing to add to their burden, only to find their situation has improved so much."

Ye Fei’s eyes brightened, "You’ve been in B City for so long, staying in such nice hotels. Those hotel rooms are much bigger and brighter than my place."

"You’ve suffered," Ye Dezhang sighed.

Yet, he didn’t mention giving money.

Earlier at the hotel, Ye Fei clearly said she wanted some money to improve her living conditions.

But now, standing in Ye Fei’s "home," Ye Dezhang said nothing of the sort.

Ye Fei chuckled inwardly, fortunately, she didn’t need to rely on her family’s help.

Even during the toughest times, when she couldn’t even match these current tough conditions, she never thought anyone would help her.

She survived purely on her own.

Moreover, Ye Fei wasn’t truly intending to ask them for money.

She only wanted to scare them off quickly.

Ye Fei rubbed her hands and said, "About that money..."

"What money!" Xu Huizhen perked up at the mention of money, her voice energetic and sharp.

"You sold me, got 10 million, and after 19 years of raising me, that 10 million still leaves you with a few extra million too."

"I won’t even ask you for millions, just give me 500,000," Ye Fei said, "If you aren’t willing to give it all at once, you can give it bit by bit or set it off with the rent."

"So I can improve my living situation in B City," Ye Fei said.

"You’re full of crap!" Xu Huizhen screamed angrily, "I already said, there’s no such 10 million!"

"Oh, then explain where the sudden increase in family money came from. Don’t tell me it’s from an investor. If so, give me the name, I’ll find out who it is."

"If you want money, no way!" Xu Huizhen was raging mad.

They clearly came to ask Ye Fei for money; how can they end up owing Ye Fei?

That was absolutely impossible!

"You can’t do this, you live in luxury at home, in a big villa," Ye Fei said, "And don’t deny it, Jiu Mei told me everything."

"That shameless Jiu Mei!" If Jiu Mei were present, Xu Huizhen would have torn her face off.

It turns out Jiu Mei was playing double-agent, doing business on both sides?

Talking about Ye Fei’s matters there, and turning around to spill their secrets to Ye Fei.

Not only that, Jiu Mei still made a profit off their ticket fare differences.

Ye Fei claimed she did nothing at all.

She merely, "nonchalantly," occasionally mentioned Jiu Mei and subtly brainwashed Xu Huizhen.

Ye Fei never imagined the results would be so effective.

Now, Xu Huizhen completely distrusted Jiu Mei.

Did not believe anything Jiu Mei had ever said.

"It’s so cramped here, why squeeze in!" Xu Huizhen quickly said.

Ignoring Ye Fei’s words, she dragged Ye Dezhang away.

Ye Fei, as if afraid they’d run, followed closely behind.

"Dad," Ye Fei grabbed Ye Dezhang’s arm.

The three of them took a cab back to the hotel together.

"Since I’m here too," Ye Fei said, "Why don’t I book another room? I’ll stay here tonight. It’s just... Dad, about the hotel expense..."

"We have no money!" Xu Huizhen quickly said, "If you want to stay, pay yourself. Don’t rely on us!"

"Dad?" Ye Fei looked at Ye Dezhang, eyes full of hope, "Dad, you always said you’re sorry, that you made me suffer, and that you... weren’t a competent father."

"Now I want to live a little better, you’ll fulfill that, right? The grievances I’ve suffered can’t be taken back. Those have been endured, and no amount of comforting words can change that," Ye Fei said.

"So... you could find a way to make up for me, right? From now on, make up for the past grievances," Ye Fei directly asked Ye Dezhang, "Dad, you’ll make it up to me, right?"

She wanted to see, after being so clear, how Ye Dezhang would react.

Ye Dezhang was deeply stumped.

"This... this..." Ye Dezhang stammered for a long while and said, "I... all the family’s money is managed by your mom and your sister. Your sister gives me a little pocket money every month, not much, just about five thousand a month."

Anyway, Ye City isn’t big, and Ye Dezhang has no expensive hobbies.

Five thousand a month would often remain unspent for him.

"If you want 500,000, I can’t give it all to you at once," Ye Dezhang struggled to say.

"Dad, are you saying... does this mean I get nothing? All those apologies you said, just words?" Ye Fei looked at Ye Dezhang, disappointed.
