Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 145 - Ye Jun.

Chapter 145: Ye Jun.

“Mom, since you’re already here, why don’t you sit down and eat together? Yun Yang, hurry up and bring two more pairs of chopsticks over.”

Of course, Yan Shan was polite enough to let the Old Lady sit down to eat. Otherwise, it would not sound good if word got out.

He played right into the Old Lady’s hands. The Old Lady had been waiting for this.

“Yun Lian, they have already extended a warm invitation. It’s not good for us to reject their kind offer. Why don’t the two of us sit down and join in the fun?”

“Alright, Grandma.”

The grandmother and granddaughter chimed in and began to freeload the food at the table. Ye Jun did not understand the true relationship within the Yun family and only felt that it was not a big deal.

However, a girl’s heart would always be more sensitive. Even though Ye Yao was young, she had already figured out the twists and turns behind this family after listening to their interactions.

Moreover, looking at Yun Lian’s face which was 80-90% similar to Yun Xi’s, Ye Yao just could not bring herself to like this older sister at all. She felt that Yun Lian’s temperament was different from Yun Xi’s, and she liked Yun Xi more.

After the last dish was served, the banquet began.

Chinese people sat around and ate together, emphasizing the word ‘love’. They could not just sit around and eat without doing anything. They still had to chat between eating and drinking.

As the head of the family, Yun Shan was the first to speak and he broke the awkward situation.

“Ye Jun, what do you do for a living?”

Although it sounded as though Yun Shan was asking about Ye Jun’s background, that was a very normal way of chatting in that era.

“My parents are like most people, they farm the land. But our family has an extra paddy field, and the harvest is also very good, so life is relatively more relaxed.”

Ye Jun picked up a mouthful of food and continued.

“There are only four people in the family – my parents, my sister, and I. When I took the college entrance exam last year, I was admitted to a university in Sea City. But I was not prepared to ask my parents for some college fees, so I applied to the university for a temporary suspension of admission. I worked with my own hands to earn some money, and I paid my own tuition fees. I plan to start studying in September this year.”

When Ye Jun mentioned college and his life after that, his eyes were full of light.

“Young people are really good. It’s not easy to rely on your own hands at this age.”

Yun Shan took a sip of wine and praised Ye Jun.

“Uncle, you’re really flattering me. These are all things that I should be doing. Although my relationship with my parents at home is very good, I’ve known since young that I’m not the child of my current parents, but a child that was adopted.”

When Ye Jun said this, his expression was a little gloomy.

“So I feel that I shouldn’t trouble my family too much. I should try my best and relieve their burden as much as I can.”

Although the young man in front of them was only in his twenties, it’s clear that he would definitely achieve something in the future.

Yun Lian had been eating quietly, but she heard Ye Jun’s every word. However, after Zhou Lin appeared in Yun Lian’s heart, she naturally could not accommodate anyone else.

However, the pretentious b*tch would never change. She still hoped that every man would revolve around her.

Hearing Ye Jun’s words, Yun Lian could determine that he would not be an ordinary person in the future. Therefore, she timidly picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of meat into Ye Jun’s bowl.

“My brother is not adopted! My brother and I are biological siblings.”

Ye Yao interrupted Ye Jun’s somewhat bitter words in time and shook Ye Jun’s clothes.

“Sure, whatever our Yao Yao says is always right.”

Ye Jun gently rubbed Ye Yao’s head.

The moment Ye Yao lowered her head, she saw the meat Yun Lian took for her brother. She took them and placed them on an empty plate at the side.

“My brother doesn’t eat anything picked up by strangers.” There was a hint of arrogance in the little girl’s tone.

“Yao Yao, remember to be polite when you’re at someone else’s house,” Ye Jun instructed gently.

“I don’t care. I just don’t want to see this sister serving you food.” Ye Yao looked like a well-behaved girl, but she still had her temperament.
