Soon, Li Zhiyuan and his entourage arrived at the spicy soup stall in a grand procession.

From afar, one could see that the stalls were packed with people, forming a long queue.

Ye Shi is not here! Li Zhiyuan was stunned. He saw that the stall was set up by Ye Erquan and two pretty girls.

Those are... Zhaodi and Laidi?

Li Zhiyuan finally recognized him.

He remembered Zhao Di and Lai Di as being very thin and dark-skinned, like dried firewood, but now they were becoming more and more beautiful.

On second thought, this is Li Zhiyuan's child, how could it be ugly?

If it were Zhaodi or Laidi, things would be even easier!

The two girls are so soft and weak that they tremble when he raises his voice. When he asks them to write down the secret recipe, they will obediently listen to him.

As for Ye Erquan, he was even more foolish.

Although Ye Daquan wasn't very bright, he had a fiery temper and would throw punches whenever he couldn't figure things out.

Ye Erquan is a simpleton; when faced with a problem, he just stands there dumbfounded.

"There are so many people, let's line up quickly!" Liu Gaosheng said.

Li Zhiyuan, acting like a host, said, "Why queue? I'll just have them scoop it up for us. We'll also have to make sure they clear out a table. Brother Zheng, you guys wait here for a bit."

Zheng Nian and Qian Hai nodded, watching Li Zhiyuan walk step by step to the stall.

Ye Erquan scooped up a bowl of soup.

Ye Jin'er took the money, added chili oil as requested by the customer, and Huan'er collected the payment.

It is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Li Zhiyuan walked up to Ye Jin'er. Ye Jin'er and her sister were taken aback for a moment, their eyes flashing with disgust. They pretended not to see him and continued working without stopping.

Li Zhiyuan was somewhat surprised when they glanced at him and then remained silent.

Zheng Nian and the others are all watching!

Li Zhiyuan glanced back and stared at Ye Jin'er: "Zhao Di!"

Ye Jin'er slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Who is Zhao Di? My name is Ye Jin'er! Besides, who are you?"

Li Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. Was this his daughter who didn't even dare to breathe loudly?

Li Zhiyuan sensed something was wrong, but he had just confidently declared that getting the prescription was a simple matter of a word. Zheng Nian and the others were still watching!

Li Zhiyuan's face darkened: "Zhao Di, how can you talk to your father like that?"

"So how do you want me to talk to you? Shall I give you a good beating first?" Ye Jin'er stared at him mockingly.

"What's going on?" The customers who were waiting for their hot and sour soup stopped in their tracks and all gathered around to see what was happening.

Zheng Nian and the others exchanged glances and quickly stepped forward: "Brother Zhiyuan, what happened?"

Li Zhiyuan's expression changed, and he quickly smiled apologetically, "It's nothing, it's nothing, she was just too busy and spoke a little loudly."

Qian Hai's small eyes flashed with a sharp light as he smiled and said, "Why are you arguing? Brother Zhiyuan, didn't you say the boss was an acquaintance of yours?"

Liu Gaosheng quickly added fuel to the fire: "So familiar that you'd just casually give me the recipe."

"A prescription?" Ye Jin'er's eyes widened as she stared at Li Zhiyuan and sneered, "Where do you get the audacity to ask for my family's prescription?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present burst into laughter: "Several restaurants want the recipe, each offering a higher price than the last, but they won't sell it."

"This person, who appeared out of nowhere, can just take you away with a single sentence."

Even his classmates stared at him with mockery.

Li Zhiyuan blushed deeply, and was furious with embarrassment: "No, I'm not some random stranger, I'm someone they know!"

"Who knows you? I don't know you, get lost!" Ye Jin'er said fiercely.

"Pfft!" Qian Hai laughed. "Brother Zhiyuan, they already said they're not familiar with you. Are you suffering from amnesia? If you want to coax them out of their prescription, at least come up with a better excuse! Besides, even if they are acquaintances, why would they give you a prescription?"

Zheng Nian's face darkened: "Brother Zhiyuan, what's going on?"

Li Zhiyuan's face flushed red, and he said urgently, "No, we really are acquaintances! More than just acquaintances, they are actually my daughters! Li Zhaodi and Li Laidi!"

He then glared at Ye Jin'er: "You brat, I am your own father, how dare you say you don't recognize me? You unfilial thing."

"Your surname is Li, and my surname is Ye. How can you be my father? What evidence do you have to prove that I am your daughter? Is my name on your household registration?"

Li Zhiyuan choked for a moment.

Zheng Nian and the others frowned.

Li Zhiyuan retorted angrily, "Even without your name, you're still my own daughter!"

Then he turned to Zheng Nian and explained, "Brother Zheng, they really are my daughters. I swear to God, if I am lying, may I be struck by lightning."

"The reason they are surnamed Ye is because... my ex-wife, Ye, beat my mother-in-law and even broke my mother's leg. I had tolerated her for many years, and in a fit of anger, I divorced her."

"These two girls insisted on following Ye Shi, and I had no choice but to let them go with Ye Shi."

“They were quite well-behaved and sensible at home, but who would have thought they would become so fierce after only a month or two away from home. Even when they saw their own father…”

He shook his head, looking utterly devastated.

“Zhaodi, Laidi, no matter what, I am still your biological father. Why do you have to be so hostile and speak so harshly to me?”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers began to look at Ye Jin'er and her sister with disapproval.

Zheng Nian and the others also looked thoughtful, feeling that Ye Jin'er and her sister had gone too far.

Ye Jin'er's expression changed slightly. As long as one was associated with the word "filial piety," it seemed that no matter what one said, it would be wrong.

Ye Erquan was completely stunned; he really didn't know what to do in this situation.

"Waaah..." Ye Huan'er suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, covering her mouth and sobbing, "Father...why did you do this?"
