188 Return to the Human World
◎Her happy human family was broken apart?!◎
Ye Zhizhi looked at Yu's mother, feeling a mixture of joy and bitterness in his heart.
After hearing these words from Yu's mother, she felt that her persistence over the years was meaningful.
Some people have been looking forward to her return.
Ye Zhiyan saw the mother and daughter about to cry again. Looking at their red, tearful eyes, he felt a pang of heartache. He quickly shifted his focus, "Our family is finally reunited. This is a cause for celebration. Mom, sister, you two must stop crying. You should smile."
Ye Lang quickly responded, "In order to welcome Zhizhi back, the family specially prepared a big meal." He had finally found his daughter and was originally very happy, but he made her cry so many times that his heart was broken.
Assistant Sante was particularly perceptive and said, "Dinner is ready. Everyone, please take a seat."
Ye Zhizhi and his group had been out all day and were exhausted. Logically, they should have rested and taken care of themselves first, but Ye Lang felt sorry for his daughter. She had no appetite on the plane and hadn't eaten for several meals, so she needed to fill her stomach first.
Ye Lang didn't care about being polite. He asked the servant to bring him some warm water to wash his hands, and then walked towards the restaurant.
Yu Jingyao held Ye Zhizhi's hand tightly.
Ye Zhizhi could feel that she was pulling very tight. Although the force was lighter than an insect bite to her, she could feel the deep emotion being transmitted.
Ye Zhizhi was very careful and cautious, shaking hands again with very little strength.
Yu Jingyao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and her cheeks flushed. She was in high spirits because of the good news, and she looked even better than usual.
Ye Zhizhi looked at her face, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. Her eyebrows and eyes became bright, and a smile began to appear on her face.
Mother Yu is fine.
Her human family still loves her.
very nice.
She sat next to Yu Jingyao, with Ye Zhiyan sitting on the other side. Ye Lang seemed to be isolated.
After seeing that they were fine, Lin Duoyu thought about not disturbing the family of four and was about to leave. Ye Zhizhi sensed her breath and turned around and called out, "Duoduo."
Yu Jingyao then noticed the girl not far away and immediately apologized, "Are you Zhizhi's good friend Duoduo? I saw Zhizhi was too excited, and I apologize for not entertaining her well enough. I'm sorry."
Yu Jingyao asked Ye Zhiyan to invite the distinguished guest to a seat, her eyes full of kindness.
The little girl must be very important to their daughter since she can always be kept by her side. They are the ones who have neglected her.
Lin Duoyu blushed and waved her hands, feeling a little helpless, but because of the words "good friend", she was filled with joy and excitement. She shyly said, "It's rare for Zhizhi to be reunited with her family. I can understand." She was also very excited when she saw it, and couldn't help but burst into tears. How could she feel left out?
Lin Duoyu watched these scenes unfold, filled with emotion. This was how a family reunited with a long-lost child should be. If a person didn't love their child, how could such a wealthy and respectable person lose their composure like this?
Sure enough, there is a big difference between loving and not loving.
Lin Duoyu thought about when he first returned to the Lin family. What he was greeted with was not the expectation and excitement of his parents, nor a loving hug, but a cold, picky, scrutinizing, and condescending look.
And she was like an ugly duckling that had strayed into a group of swans.
Lin Yuyu's heart was filled with joy and satisfaction, knowing that Zhizhi would not experience the embarrassment she had that day.
At the warm invitation of the Ye family, Lin Duoyu finally sat at the table. Fearing that she would feel restrained, and also worried that Ye Zhizhi would not be able to adapt after just returning, it would be better to have someone familiar around her, Ye Zhiyan stepped aside and gave the seat on the other side of Ye Zhizhi to Lin Duoyu.
Ye Lang's eyes darkened. He had been eager to sit over there, but with just one look from Yu Jingyao, he sat on the other side, not daring to move.
The four people over there were sitting there happily, but Ye Lang was alone, as if he was invisibly excluded.
Ye Zhizhi naturally discovered something was wrong very quickly. Her father, Ye, was being “isolated” by her younger brother and mother Yu. She blinked and looked around curiously.
Ye Lang noticed Ye Zhizhi's gaze and his eyes suddenly lit up. He expected the little cotton jacket to work its magic of keeping him warm so that he could blend in. However, Ye Zhizhi's gaze had already shifted to the feast that was constantly being served on the table.
She didn't know what Father Ye had done, but Mother Yu and the little brother were both reasonable people. Since they both rejected Father Ye, it must be Father Ye's fault. She didn't know anything, so she didn't get involved.
Ye Zhizhi thought, this must be about looking for her, right? When Ye's father found out about her, he didn't notify them right away to come pick her up, which not only prevented them from meeting immediately, but also caused some misunderstandings. Isn't that a grudge?
Ye Zhizhi simply pretended not to see it and turned to the table.
She was filled with curiosity. What were these dishes? They looked different from the meat she'd eaten in the jungle. Were some of them seafood? She sniffed, and the aroma of the meal, which had tormented her nose all day, finally soothed her.
Ye Lang had something to say at this moment: "I don't know what Zhizhi likes to eat, so I just made some. From now on, we will serve different dishes every day. See what she likes, and then make more later."
Ye Zhizhi looked at the dishes that filled the entire table. It didn't look casual at all. It could be said that everything was included, and the portions were quite large.
She wasn't one to let herself down. The aroma of the food whetted her appetite, and she immediately wandered around the table, pointing at a large shrimp baring its claws and saying, "I want to eat it!"
There were chopsticks and a knife and fork on the table. Ye Zhizhi took a look and picked up a fork.
She felt like she had been out of the jungle for a long time, but in fact it hadn't been even ten days. Everything was too hasty, and she hadn't learned to hold chopsticks again.
Ye Zhiyan and the others did not ask the servants to serve them, but did it themselves. They took whatever Ye Zhizhi pointed at, completely disregarding all table manners.
Yu Jingyao kept picking up food for Ye Zhizhi, asking her to try this and that.
Of course, Lin Duoyu next to him was also taken care of and was not neglected at all.
Lin Duoyu felt even more envious when she saw the Ye family members who were not at all arrogant. She then recalled the meal on her first day at the Lin family. She was very cautious and embarrassed, and was disliked if she made a sound by mistake.
She still remembers those looks...
Lin Duoyu lowered her eyes, and there was a trembling piece of meat in the bowl in front of her. Ye Zhizhi specially used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of meat for her. She looked up and met Ye Zhizhi's clear gaze.
"Delicious!" she said.
Lin Yuyu's heart suddenly felt full and she couldn't help laughing.
Yu Jingyao and Ye Zhiyan didn't know about Ye Zhizhi's past. They only knew that their daughter/sister had returned, and they were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so they threw aside their years of table manners and blended in.
The look in their eyes when they looked at Ye Zhizhi was full of care and love.
Ye Zhizhi had not learned the table manners of wealthy families, but she was not shabby at all. Every move she made was adorable. She would pick up the meat from the bowl directly with a fork and eat until her cheeks were puffed up. When she felt satisfied with the taste, she would squint her eyes in contentment.
Yu Jingyao and Ye Zhiyan became more and more addicted to feeding them, and Lin Duoyu didn't care about expressing his feelings. He just focused on eating, but he couldn't keep up with their speed of picking up food. The amount of food in his bowl never decreased.
Ye Zhizhi is not the type of person who eats alone. If she finds something delicious, she will recommend it to Yu's mother and little brother. As a result, they eat even more than usual.
The mother and son felt that the dishes they were familiar with were particularly delicious tonight.
Ye Zhiyan had already planned to give his hard-working chef a salary increase starting this month.
Ye Lang was very jealous and wanted to feed Xiao Zhizhi as well, but he was too far away. He could only interrupt from time to time to introduce the dishes to prove that he was not completely excluded.
The meal was a complete success, with smiles on everyone's faces the whole time.
After eating, everyone was very full, except Ye Zhizhi who kept eating.
Yu Jingyao and Ye Zhiyan, who were originally obsessed with feeding their daughter/sister, changed their mindset from "My daughter/sister is too thin, she needs to eat more" to "Is she eating too much? It will be uncomfortable if she is full."
They thought that Ye Zhizhi kept eating because they kept picking up food for him and didn't dare to stop. But after they stopped picking up food, Ye Zhizhi picked up the meat he liked and ate it himself, which made them terrified.
Seeing their worried expressions and hesitation, Lin Duoyu explained, "Zhizhi has a good appetite and eats a lot."
Ye Zhizhi turned her head when she heard that, her eyes wide with confusion. What? Her family couldn't afford to feed her dozens of kilograms of meat in one meal? She remembered her family was very wealthy. Could it be that she came out too late, and before she could save the family, they would go bankrupt?
Ye Zhizhi looked down at the meat on the fork, wondering whether he should save some.
Yu Jingyao took one look and immediately made the final decision: "Zhizhi can have as much as she wants. If it's not enough, ask the chef to make more."
Ye Zhizhi was immediately relieved. She ate without hesitation. When she finished and put down her fork, Lin Duoyu said with concern: "You ate a little less than usual." The various discomforts on the plane still affected Zhizhi's appetite. She ate at least three pounds less meat than usual.
When Yu Jingyao heard this, she hurriedly asked the chef to make some more, but Ye Zhizhi refused, saying she had eaten enough!
After a big meal, Ye Zhizhi felt a little sleepy.
Yu Jingyao wanted to bring Ye Zhizhi back to her own residence.
Ye Lang subconsciously refused, "No!"
Yu Jingyao looked at him coldly, his eyes asking him to explain.
Ye Lang felt a slight pain in his heart, but he still said seriously: "The environment here is relatively quiet, Zhizhi will feel more comfortable."
Yu Jingyao lives in a residence located in the city center, which is a quiet villa area in the hustle and bustle. However, for Ye Zhizhi, who has very keen five senses, it may still be very noisy. This place is a half-mountain manor, which is even further away from the hustle and bustle.
When Ye Zhizhi heard their words, his sleepiness disappeared and he immediately became alert, his eyes wandering between Ye's father and Yu's mother.
What?! Daddy Ye and Mommy Yu don't live together? Are they divorced?
Ye Zhizhi was shocked.
Then I tried to recall, it wasn't mentioned in the original novel! Or was it mentioned but she forgot?!
Ye Zhizhi couldn't believe it. Her happy human family was broken apart?!
