Chapter 818: Chapter 818: Just Like That Phony

"No matter what it is about them that you don’t like. If they say something unpleasant, or even if you find them an eyesore, just go ahead and confront them without fear!" Chi Jingsi said.

Chi Jingsi was not afraid of Ye Fei causing trouble outside.

Is Ye Fei the kind of person who causes trouble?

Ye Fei usually doesn’t get into conflicts with people.

Unless someone really brings trouble directly to her.

Moreover, Ye Fei seemed not to have fully realized that she now had the freedom to confront anyone.

It’s important for Ye Fei to understand that she’s no longer alone.

She’s not a poor little thing anymore.

No matter how big the issue, the Zhao Family can handle it.

Chi Jingsi felt that she should make Ye Fei aware of her current status.

And get used to it.

"Just like that pretender," Chi Jingsi said.

"Pretender?" Zhao Guoxian was momentarily confused and blurted out.

After all, he was used to Chi Jingsi occasionally saying things that others couldn’t catch on to.

So he had already developed the habit of not trying to figure it out when Chi Jingsi said something he didn’t understand.

Don’t try to understand Chi Jingsi’s thought process.

Normal people wouldn’t get it.

So, don’t trouble yourself with such inexplicable things.

Just directly ask Chi Jingsi for an answer.

So, Zhao Guoxian asked directly.

"Just that Zhuang something." Chi Jingsi waved a hand carelessly, "I forgot what her name is, but she seems fake as hell."

So she was just called a pretender.

Zhao Guoxian gave Chi Jingsi a thumbs-up: "Aunt, the name you gave her is spot on!"

"Of course," Zhuang Mingyan said, smiling proudly.

Zhao Guoxian was a kid with good judgment.

So much better than Zhao Guqing.

Chi Jingsi continued, "Look, when we talk about her, she only dares to give roundabout rebuttals. But when we’re completely blunt, she clearly feels indignant."

"If it were someone else, she would definitely try to shift the blame. But now, she doesn’t dare redirect anything towards us, even if she feels wronged, she has to swallow it."

"And why is that? It’s because she’s afraid of us, of course," Chi Jingsi said brazenly to Ye Fei, "Let me tell you, outside, people are afraid of us. So when you’re outside, don’t let yourself feel wronged."

"You don’t need to think about them, if they’ll be sad, or if their dignity will be hurt," Chi Jingsi said, "As long as you’re happy, that’s what matters. If someone makes you unhappy, make them suffer, build your happiness on their pain."

"You’re part of the Zhao Family now, and if you don’t have even a bit of this freedom, what’s the fun in that? What’s the point of joining our family?"

Chi Jingsi pursed her lips, "If we can’t even give you this foundation, it would be a disgrace to our Zhao Family."

Ye Fei: "..."

She glanced at Zhao Gushen secretly.

What her mom said was really straightforward.

The old lady nodded in agreement: "Xiao Fei, your mom is right, just listen to her."

"In the future, be a bit more brazen. If someone makes you uncomfortable, just confront them! Anyway, once you’ve confronted them, they won’t dare say anything back," the old lady said.

"If they pretend to be delicate and unjustly treated, just let them. You’re the Zhao family’s daughter-in-law, what’s wrong with you pushing them around a bit?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Anyway, your mom and Xiao Shen haven’t been easy on people when they’re outside either," the old lady said.

"..." Lao Zhao pursed his lips, "As if you never bullied anyone outside. It’s just that you’re old now and don’t go out much. But when you were young, you ran wild outside and bullied quite a few people."

"Don’t talk about me, you’re guilty of it too." The old lady huffed.

Ye Fei wondered if the two elders were intentionally playing a double act to comfort her and convince her, or if they were really like this.

Anyway, Ye Fei remembered their words.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, don’t worry."

"I won’t take the initiative to cause trouble outside or bully others, but if someone comes to bully me, I won’t disgrace the Zhao Family." Just like Zhao Gushen once told the little one, Xiao Mo was part of the Zhao Family, and he couldn’t be bullied outside.

If anyone dared to bring trouble to him, he didn’t have to be polite.

With Zhao Gushen around, no one would bully him.

But likewise, if no one provoked him, he shouldn’t bully others without reason and disgrace the Zhao Family.

The old lady held Ye Fei’s hand, patted it twice, and smiled, "You’re just too cautious, child."

"To be honest, even if you did bully people outside, it wouldn’t matter. Besides, I trust you. Anyone who lets themselves be bullied by you couldn’t be a good person."

Ye Fei couldn’t help but laugh.

She’s grateful to the old lady for believing in her so much.

But what if she really gets spoiled and starts bullying even good people?

"You won’t be spoiled." Zhao Gushen leaned in close to her ear and whispered.

Ye Fei, being such a good girl, how could she possibly be spoiled?

No matter how much she is pampered, she won’t lose her sense of propriety.

Since childhood, Ye Fei had never been spoiled.

Now, from the old lady to Zhao Gushen, they all felt they hadn’t spoiled Ye Fei enough.

Then the old lady said, "Do you think Zhao Dingye is a good person outside? He hasn’t avoided using the Zhao family’s name to bully people."

"It’s just that we’ve been watching him, so he doesn’t dare to go too far. If no one watched over him, who knows what he might do."

Lin Ligge had something to say again.

Lin Ligge scoffed disdainfully, "When he’s swaggering outside, he remembers to flaunt the Zhao family name and acknowledges my brother as the Family Head. But at home, he acts all defiant again. Isn’t that textbook cowardice at home, bullying his family?"

Everyone: "..."

Well, Lin Ligge did have a point.

Zhao Dingye was indeed the textbook definition of a bully at home.

As they were talking, Zhao Dingye and his family finally arrived at the main hall.

Hearing the door open, everyone stopped talking about Zhao Dingye.

Since they’d already seen what the Zhao Dingye’s family looked like on TV, seeing them now didn’t feel unfamiliar to Ye Fei.

Before meeting them, she felt a little nervous, but after hearing what Lin Ligge said about Zhao Dingye,

And after watching them through the surveillance for quite a while, Ye Fei unconsciously stopped feeling tense.

Now, seeing Zhao Dingye, Ye Fei felt calm and had no other thoughts.

From what Lin Ligge said earlier, she knew Zhao Dingye’s worth.

As long as he doesn’t give up vying for the position of Family Head, the Zhao family’s elders wouldn’t truly like him or genuinely welcome him.
