Chapter 85: Is it enough to just admit defeat and show weakness?

Views:

Nine days ago, when Ye Chui said he would make a dish for Wu Haimei that could cure her anorexia, there were only a few people present. And today, Cao Kang, with a stupid look on his face, brought Fang Tao to serve Wu Haimei that dish of dried eggplant. It was obvious that someone had deliberately leaked the secret to him. Needless to say, one could guess who that person was: He Chengfei.

Fang Tao and Cao Kang were severely slapped in the face and received the punishment they deserved, but this did not satisfy Ye Chui, because he knew that these two were just tools of He Chengfei. Today was a trap set against him. How could he feel at ease if he did not find out the person behind the scenes? That's why he asked Cao Kang with a smile, just to make Cao Kang say He Chengfei's name.

Cao Kang had a look of astonishment on his face and subconsciously glanced at He Chengfei. Until now, Cao Kang still regarded He Chengfei as a close older brother. He was a little hesitant whether to reveal He Chengfei's name.

When Han Yuyan questioned him, he held back and didn't reveal He Chengfei's name, showing some courage... But that was the extent of his courage. The current situation was much more serious than before, so he planned to betray He Chengfei.

But before he opened his mouth to speak, He Chengfei's voice sounded first: "I told him accidentally."

He Chengfei's voice attracted everyone's attention. Cao Kang was moved when he looked at He Chengfei: I didn't expect Brother Fei to be so righteous and stand up for me at this time. Thinking back to when I was about to betray him just now, I really shouldn't have done that...

He Chengfei stood up and walked in front of Ye Chui, and continued, "That day I prepared the best shark fin to give to my aunt, but it was outdone by Ye Chui's pickles. Then I heard Ye Chui say that he wanted to make a dish that could cure my aunt's anorexia, so I was so angry that I drank a few more glasses of wine that night and let the matter slip. Cao Kang was also in the nightclub at the time, so he might have accidentally heard about it."

As he spoke, He Chengfei glared at Cao Kang angrily again: "But I didn't expect him to do such a thing, to find someone to steal the recipe. I also have the responsibility for what happened today. Ye Chui, I must apologize to you now!"

He Chengfei is very smart. Although the scheme he set up has now been broken by Ye Chui, he had prepared a way out for himself from the very beginning: Fang Tao was brought by Cao Kang, and that dish was also presented by Cao Kang to Wu Haimei, and all of this had nothing to do with him. The only loophole was how Cao Kang knew that Ye Chui was going to make that dish, so He Chengfei took the initiative to admit that he had accidentally revealed it to Cao Kang, and also took the initiative to apologize to Ye Chui. In this way, he cleared himself of the suspicion of actively framing Ye Chui. This was a step forward.

The guests present did not know He Chengfei's character, but hearing him speak so sincerely, even the seasoned business people thought that this was the case - He Chengfei's acting skills were amazing.

Of course, Ye Chui was not so easily fooled. He just chuckled and glanced at He Chengfei - no matter how well He Chengfei acted, he could not escape responsibility today.

Cao Kang was dumbfounded again. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was tricked by He Chengfei. He immediately showed an angry expression on his face. He thought He Chengfei was a caring big brother, but he didn't expect that he would sell him out in the blink of an eye. How could Cao Kang endure it? He rushed forward with a red face and punched He Chengfei in the face: "You framed me!"

There were exclamations all around. He Chengfei stumbled back a few steps, put his hands over his face, looked at Cao Kang with a sad face and said, "Yes, it was me who harmed you. If I hadn't been drunk and told you those things, how could you have thought of coming here to frame Ye Chui?"

"You are talking nonsense!" Cao Kang yelled, and he shouted to the others in the living room, "He is talking nonsense! It's not like that at all..."

"Didn't you hear me tell you about this when we were drinking in a nightclub?" He Chengfei continued to ask - when he mentioned this to Cao Kang, they were indeed in a nightclub and they were indeed drinking.

"Yes, but..." Cao Kang said subconsciously, his mind completely confused. He was about to explain that he didn't overhear, but He Chengfei didn't give him a chance and interrupted him, saying, "Cao Kang, what's the point of denying it at this time?"

"It was all your instructions..." Cao Kang shouted angrily - how could he be a match for He Chengfei in this kind of verbal confrontation

"Enough!" Lin Zhengdao shouted angrily, "This is my home, what do you think this place is?"

"Akang!" Cao Xiong rushed to his son and held him back, then looked at Lin Zhengdao and said, "Mr. Lin, Akang was too impulsive just now, don't be angry..."

"My patience is limited, Mr. Cao, please take your son away from here!" Lin Zhengdao said with a cold face. He might be very angry in his heart when he asked Cao Xiong and his son to apologize to Ye Chui before, but he was not to the point where he could not tolerate it. But now Cao Kang started beating people, no matter what the reason was, it had exceeded his bottom line: this was his home, and it was his wife's birthday party. Where would he put his face if he beat people here

Cao Xiong pulled Cao Kang and tried to say something, but when he met Lin Zhengdao's eyes, he swallowed all his words. He sighed in his heart, wondering how he could have such a stupid son who was completely used by He Chengfei. He Chengfei might have planned that Cao Kang would be furious and beat him up. Moreover, he had completely annoyed Lin Zhengdao today, completely ruining the good relationship he had painstakingly established with Lin Zhengdao before...

Cao Kang looked at his father with an aggrieved look on his face: "Dad..."

"Snapped!"

Cao Xiong slapped him and said loudly: "How could I have a son as stupid as you? You have really hurt me this time!"

After roaring like that, Cao Xiong turned around and walked outside. Cao Kang covered his face and was stunned for a while, then hurriedly followed him out.

Watching Cao Xiong and his son leave, all the guests in the living room had different expressions. Today was supposed to be a wonderful birthday party, but so many things happened because of Ye Chui's dish. Cao Kang and Cao Xiong, father and son, completely offended Lin Zhengdao this time. He will definitely not have a good life in the future - Lin Zhengdao will develop in Xizhou City in the future, and all the major local companies will not want to get a piece of the pie from him, but now Cao Xiong is obviously not qualified.

As Brother Cao and his son left, everyone once again focused their attention on He Chengfei and Ye Chui. They really wanted to know what Ye Chui would do to He Chengfei next, and what role He Chengfei played in this matter

"Chengfei, are you okay?" Lin Zhengdao calmed down his anger and turned to look at He Chengfei. Unlike others, he knew He Chengfei's character, so he knew that He Chengfei had done that on purpose because he felt guilty, but he did not point it out, which was considered to give He Chengfei some face. After all, the latter's identity was somewhat different.

"Uncle, I'm fine." He Chengfei covered his face and said, appearing humble and polite. He turned to look at Ye Chui, and said with a sincere and guilty smile, "After all, this matter was caused by me, and I should have borne the punch from Cao Kang. It seems that you won the bet you made with Weiwei nine days ago." He looked at Lin Wei again, "Weiwei, you will go to the middle school that Ye Chui mentioned in the future, don't regret it."

Lin Wei's face slightly blushed when this matter was mentioned. Nine days ago, Lin Wei promised Ye Chui that if he could really cure Wu Haimei's anorexia, she would go to Xizhou No. 32 Middle School. Now Ye Chui really cured Wu Haimei's anorexia, so Lin Wei naturally had to go to Xizhou No. 32 Middle School as agreed. She nodded to He Chengfei, and then became surprised again.

She thought things wouldn't be that complicated, so she didn't understand why this cousin who had always had ill intentions towards her suddenly became so easy to talk to.

Ye Chui smiled. He certainly knew what He Chengfei meant by saying this - He Chengfei did so many things just to prevent Lin Wei from attending Xizhou No. 32 Middle School. Now he said this to show weakness to Ye Chui, telling Ye Chui that he gave up, and hoped that since Ye Chu had achieved his goal, he would stop pestering her.

But is it enough to just admit defeat and show weakness

If you lose, you have to pay the price.

Ye Chui had another trump card in his hand. He suddenly turned around and said to Sun Yi, who had been standing trembling beside him from the beginning, "How much did He Chengfei pay you to steal my recipe? Is it 100,000 yuan?"

"Not that many..." Sun Yi had already been shocked to the point of numbness by the current scene. Hearing Ye Chui's question, he answered subconsciously.

"How much money did he give you?" Ye Chui continued to ask.

"Four..." At this point, Sun Yi finally reacted, his eyes widened, "I... I didn't..."

"Haha, 40,000 yuan?" Ye Chui looked at He Chengfei with a sneer on his face, "You bribed the people around me to steal my recipes, and you are only willing to pay 40,000 yuan. Aren't you too stingy?"
