Chapter 690 The Ye Family''s Golden Nightingale


    "Fan, why are they like that? They''ve gone too far! Both of you are returning home and you''re both


    rtives, so what''s with this double standard? They''re clearly looking down on you and they don''t


    wee you here. Fan, let''s not go back to your home. Bring Auntie Ye along back to Jingzhou, we''ll


    spend the new year at my ce instead."


    When Lu Wen-Jing saw how Ye Yu-Yan was so well-loved and Ye Fan was so neglected, her eyes


    turned red.


    She felt indignant for Ye Fan.


    Her Fan hade all the way from Yunzhou just to spend the new year at home.


    But when he came back, he didn''t get any warm wee from his friends and family, and was treated


    so coldly instead.


    Even an outsider like Lu Wen-Jing felt angry about this.


    How much more disappointed was Ye Fan himself?


    Ye Xi-Mei was also pale in the face when she saw this.


    There was some guilt and self-me in her expression.


    "Fan, I''m so sorry. Your mum has made you suffer."


    Lu Wen-Jing was just a child and even she felt upset by this, so of course Ye Xi-Mei was even more


    upset.


    Perhaps the Ye family didn''t deliberately do this to pick on Ye Fan, but it was still an insult to Ye Fan


    and his mother.


    It was his first day home, but her son had to suffer such humiliation along with herself, so Ye Xi-Mei felt


    terribly guilty about it.


    Ye Fan shook his head and smiled faintly. "Mum, I''m fine. That''s the way people are. Uncle Tian is


    high-ranking in the county office, and my cousin Yu-Yan is high ranking in the army. I''m just a live-in


    son-inw, so I can''t possibly bepared to them. Besides, didn''t you say we''re not some


    government official and we don''t need such fanfare, so we don''t have to be jealous of them either.”


    Ye Fan wasn''t saying this just to console his mother. He meant it.


    He wasn''t jealous and wasn''t angry. He had remained calm throughout.


    The only little emotion he had was some disappointment.


    He didn''t think that even his mother''s own family would still be as materialistic and pragmatic as the


    rest of the world.


    But it didn''t matter.


    If they treated him this way, he would treat them the same.


    Since they couldn''t be bothered with Ye Fan now, then they would only have themselves to me if Ye


    Fan became too powerful for them to get close to in the future.


    Besides, his main purpose ining home was to see his mother.


    So even if his mother came out on her own to receive him, it was enough!


    Ye Xi-Mei was very assured to hear what Ye Fan said.


    "Fan, you''ve really matured. You''ve be more mature and steadypared to before. Come


    along, Jingjing, Fan, let''s go back and cook some dumplings," said Ye Xi-Mei with a smile even though


    her eyes were slightly red.


    By the time they reached the Ye house, Ye Ya and the rest were carrying several items into the house.


    Ye Yu-Yan hade back for the new year, so she had bought a lot of presents for everyone.


    Everyone in the Ye family was helping out.


    "Fan, why are you just standing there? Can''t you see that your cousin is back?


    Hurry up and help her to carry all these things in!" Ye Ya didn''t even bother greeting Ye Fan when he


    came in and just instructed Ye Fan to help with moving things.


    Lu Wen-Jing nearly exploded at these words.


    "You must be nuts! Fan just came back, so why should he go and help carry things? Besides, Fan is


    the older cousin, so the younger one should be helping him instead!" shouted Lu Wen-Jing angrily at


    Ye Ya like a cat whose tail had just been stepped on.


    Ye Ya was amused by this little girl. "You''re so young but you''ve got quite the temper, eh?"


    "I''m her uncle but I''m still helping to carry things, so why can''t an older cousin help out too? Fan,e


    and help to carry all these things to your Uncle Tian''s ce. I have to rest for a while," instructed Ye Ya


    while he wiped the sweat off his forehead.


    But to his surprise, Ye Fan behaved like he hadn''t heard him at all.


    Ye Fan didn''t even bother to respond and just walked in with his mother.


    "What on earth? This fellow left for three years to be a live-in son-inw and now he thinks he''s


    great? He doesn''t listen to me anymore?!" Ye Ya''s eyes grew wide and he was furious.


    He continued to yell angrily about Ye Fan''s behavior.


    Inside the room.


    Ye Xi-Mei looked a little worriedly at Ye Fan. "Fan, I think you''d better help to move the things to Uncle


    Tian''s ce. I was thinking of letting you sleep at their ce. His ce is bigger with many rooms, so

    it''s just nice for you and Jingjing to stay there."


    Ye Fan chuckled quietly. "Mum, don''t worry about this, I know what to do. Besides, it''s not as if you


    don''t know that Yu-Yan doesn''t like me. If you want me to stay at their ce, I don''t think it''ll happen. I


    might as well tidy up the storeroom at the side and just sleep there for the time being. Jingjing can


    sleep in your room”


    Ye Fan had stayed in this house for several years himself and was familiar with his cousins.


    But because Ye Fan was a child thrown out from the Chu family, he wasn''t liked by the rest of the


    cousins.


    Besides, his grandfather had not approved of Ye Xi-Mei''s marriage to Ye Fan''s father back then either.


    His mother was the one who insisted on marrying him.


    And because of this, his mother had quarreled very badly with her family.


    After they were thrown out of the Chu family, they returned to the Ye house because they had no other


    choice.


    So it didn''t take a genius to figure out what sort of position these two had in the house now.


    Ye Fan remembered that he was never epted by his cousins when he was a child, and they often


    neighbor''s families.


    But Ye Fan didn''t let them have their way either. As long as they angered him, he fought back


    regardless of who it was.


    Ye Ya''s son, Ye Jian, had tried to y a prank on Ye Fan, but in the end, Ye Fan had ganged up with


    the plump boy to break Ye Jian''s leg and knocked his two front teeth out. He couldn''t get out of bed for


    three months.


    And that was also why Ye Ya still didn''t like Ye Fan till today.


    As for Ye Tian''s daughter, Ye Yu-Yan, Ye Tian was a high ranking officer in the county office, so


    everyone pampered Ye Yu-Yan since she was a young child.


    But Ye Yu-Yan worked hard as well. She was pretty and good in her studies. Her high school


    examination results were the best in the entire county.


    Someone like her was a good example to all the other children and the pride of her parents, so she


    was well taken care of all her life.


    A golden nightingale like her clearly did not like a boy like Ye Fan, a boy who didn''t like to study but


    liked to fight, and had even been thrown out by his father''s family.


    She had ignored Ye Fan almost all her life.
