Before we knew it, evening had arrived!

Everyone in the Ye family had finished get off work and was sitting at the dinner table waiting for dinner!

Wang Ma laid out a variety of dishes, all of which looked and smelled delicious!

"I'm hungry, I'm going to start eating!"

Third Sister Ye Ke'er picked up her favorite braised lion's head meatballs, but quickly spat them out: "It's awful! Who made this?!"

The others also picked up their favorite dishes, and then they all vomited!

"My conch is overcooked! Does anyone even know how to cook it?!"

"Xiaoxu doesn't like scallions, I've told her so many times, why are there still scallions in this dish!"

"Did they put chili peppers in this spicy chicken?"

Seeing everyone's disgusted expressions, Ye Kai picked up his favorite braised pork!

He took a bite and spat it out, angrily shouting, "This braised pork? Wang Ma, come out here!"

Wang Ma rushed over and, after inquiring about the reason, said bitterly, "Master, Madam, Miss, the meals used to be prepared by the Fifth Young Master. Now that he's gone, we had to have the family cook do it, but it doesn't suit your tastes!"

"Ye Jianchen?"

The first thing everyone thought of was that thin and stubborn boy, and then they remembered that Ye Jianchen had run away from home!

At that moment, everyone's face turned grim!

Then, holding back his anger, he continued eating, refusing to lose face even if it meant death. But being pampered, they couldn't get used to the food and vomited again!

Their tastes have long been spoiled by Ye Jianchen!

Seeing everyone's dark faces, Wang Ma was secretly pleased. "Didn't you all bring this on yourselves?"

"Ah Fu, call the hotel and ask their head chefs to come over!"

Ye Kai could only rely on the chefs at the five-star hotel in the company!

"No wonder Ye Jianchen got so bold; he was using cooking to blackmail us!"

Liang Caili suddenly realized something, her face filled with anger: "He wants us to compromise? He's dreaming! He dares to threaten us now; in a few days, he'll definitely be threatening to take the Ye family's assets!"

Rumble!

No sooner had he finished speaking than lightning flashed and thunder roared outside, and a torrential downpour quickly began!

Ye Ruqing glanced out the window and said gloatingly, "It's raining heavily, where can Ye Jianchen go? I bet he'll be back within an hour!"

"That's right, the Ye family is a prominent clan. Who would give up being a young master of the Ye family to go and wander the streets in the rain!"

Ye Ke'er fiddled with her newly done manicure, and said disdainfully, "Bluster, all pretense. Those big families on TV are always scheming against each other. Who knew we sisters were so united? This bastard is just causing trouble!"

Ye Kai glared at her for calling her a bastard, but he didn't scold her!

He was still angry and couldn't be bothered to care whether Ye Jianchen was a bastard or not!

Looking at the torrential rain outside, and thinking of Ye Jianchen, who was so weak he could barely stand, Ye Wanrou felt a little uneasy!

Especially in the morning, when Ye Jianchen pierced his hand with glass, his expression and eyes were completely different from before!

She didn't know why Ye Jianchen had become like this. Was it the rebellious phase of adolescence?

"Mom, let Afu go find Ye Jianchen. He's still injured, and the doctor said he needs to rest!"

Ye Wanrou said!

"Yes, we're all family!"

Ye Xu also pleaded on his behalf, but his next words angered everyone again: "At worst, we'll take turns apologizing to him!"

"What are you apologizing for? Were we wrong? We just wanted to teach him well and correct the bad habits he picked up outside. Honestly, who understands the hearts of parents everywhere!"

Liang Caili immediately reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Xiaoxu, Mom knows you're a good boy, but you can't always help your brother. If he doesn't teach you properly, your life will be ruined!"

He then looked at the crowd and said, "No one is allowed to go looking for Ye Jianchen. If he wants to come back, he can come back on his own. If he doesn't, then get out. I refuse to believe I can't deal with him!"

"Mom, I don't care! He came back with a bruised and swollen face the other day; he must have gotten into another fight. It would be better if he died out there!"

Ye Ke'er looked completely unconcerned!

Ye Ruqing replied indifferently, "With him not home, I'm happy to have a few days of peace and quiet!"

Ye Yuxuan ignored him as always, and instead asked about Ye Xu's studies!

Ye Wanrou was initially a little worried about Ye Jianchen, but she also felt that Ye Jianchen was too immature and if he wasn't taught properly, he would inevitably commit crimes in the future!

"Ye Jianchen only dared to run away from home because he had some money!"

"He'll run out of money and come begging to us sooner or later!"

"Aunt Wang, starting next month, all of his allowance will be deducted!"

Liang Caili spoke again, her face contorted with rage, determined to force Ye Jianchen to his knees!

Wang Ma was taken aback, and stammered without saying a word!

"Why aren't you saying anything? Did you give him a lot of pocket money again?"

Liang Caili immediately sensed something was wrong and looked at Ye Kai angrily, saying, "His dad, how many times have I told you? You can't spoil Ye Jianchen! Look at you, you've probably given him a lot of pocket money again!"

Ye Kai frowned: "No, Wang Ma has always been in charge of my allowance. I'm swamped with work at the company, I don't have time for this!"

Aunt Wang said with a wry smile, "Madam, the Fifth Young Master hasn't had any pocket money for the past three years!"

"Back then, the master said that since the fifth young master grew up outside, he might develop bad habits, so he wouldn't give him pocket money for three months at a time. And now it's been three years!"

"What?"

Liang Caili and Ye Wanrou were so surprised that they put down their chopsticks.

I thought Ye Jianchen had some money, which is why he dared to rebel today!

Who knew we had no money at all!

Where is Ye Jianchen staying today, and what is he eating?

Liang Caili still didn't believe it: "Impossible! He hasn't had any money for three years. What about his food and clothes? Did he steal from his sister again?"

Aunt Wang shook her head: "Three years ago, Fifth Young Master stopped eating with everyone. He eats at his part-time job during the day, and sometimes he skips dinner, sometimes he brings back instant noodles!"

"As for his clothes, he always wears his school uniform, and his shoes are patched and mended; he's worn them for three years straight!"

"Last time, I saw that the Sixth Young Master's discarded Nike shoes were still quite new, and I wanted to keep them for the Fifth Young Master, but the Second Young Master stopped me, saying that even if I threw them away, I wouldn't give them to the Fifth Young Master!"

She was very nervous when she said these words, afraid of offending everyone!

But thinking of the Fifth Young Master who had been wronged during the day, she really couldn't hold back anymore!

Ye Wanrou also remembered this incident. She recalled that Ye Jianchen had just returned from a fight, his head was bleeding, and his shoes were torn. In a fit of anger, she stopped Wang Ma's actions!

Later, he even locked Ye Jianchen in the wine cellar for one night, just to correct Ye Jianchen's bad habit of fighting!

"So, in these past four years, he's never eaten a meal from the Ye family, nor worn any clothes from them!"

"Besides, he's in school, and after class he goes to work part-time, and then he has to rush back to cook for us! This is unbelievable!"

Ye Wanrou pondered Wang Ma's words again, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Aunt Wang reminded her, "Second Miss, do you remember your birthday last year? You'd been wanting to buy a lipstick, but you ran out of allowance that month. When Fifth Young Master found out, he used his savings from his part-time job to buy it for you as a birthday present!"

"Lipstick!"

Ye Wanrou remembered, there really was such a thing!

But at the time, she thought the lipstick was dirty and more likely stolen, so she threw it away that very night!

I remember stepping on it a few times before throwing it away!

"If I remember correctly, that lipstick cost over five thousand!"

Something seemed to touch her heart, and she asked, "How much does he earn for his part-time job?"

"It seems to be 1800!"

"Eighteen thousand? He bought me a lipstick that cost over five thousand? He's been wearing the same shoes for three years!"

Ye Wanrou found it hard to believe!

Ye Jianchen was reluctant to spend money on food or clothes, and sometimes when he was hungry at night, he wouldn't even buy instant noodles!

I took out the money I had painstakingly saved and immediately bought her a lipstick when I learned she wanted one!

The result, the result, the result!

She threw it in the trash can with disgust and stomped on it a few times!

Suddenly she realized that in the four years since Ye Jianchen returned, she knew nothing about him and had never cared about him!

It's as if Ye Jianchen was never a member of the family!

Especially when she thought about what she had said that morning that the Ye family had never mistreated Ye Jianchen, she felt ashamed and embarrassed!
