The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 170: Chapter 102: A Male Lead Relative (Part 6)

”He Tian, what did you say?” Ye Chen asked through gritted teeth.

”Brother, the large apartment that Brother Wenyuan has is really nice!” He Tiantian succeeded in harvesting 1 point of anger value, and she was very happy about it.

On her face, she even pretended not to understand the angry expression on Ye Chen’s face and continued to speak with envy, ”It’s a whole one hundred and seventy or eighty square meters, with three bathrooms alone.”

”The house of Su Wenyuan is indeed nice, but it belongs to him, and it has nothing to do with us!” Ye Chen took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger.

Deep down, a voice was desperately consoling him: Don’t get angry, don’t take it out on Ye Tian, he’s the nephew of my real mother, he’s my cousin, blood-related!

”How does it have nothing to do with us? Brother, you are good brothers with Brother Wenyuan,” He Tiantian said earnestly with her eyes wide open.

Ye Chen: ...He really didn’t want to get angry or to bicker with He Tian, but, but this bratty kid was just too infuriating.

”I am friends with Su Wenyuan, but our relationship is based purely on friendship, without any mix of interests!” Ye Chen almost bit his molars saying these words.

But He Tiantian just pursed her lips and said with a hint of disdain, ”Brother, what’s with all this ’pure’ talk, since you’re good brothers, and his family is so rich, it’s only right for him to take care of you a little!”

Ye Chen’s cheeks were clenched so hard they were crackling; his emotions were just a step away from anger.

And soon enough, his dear cousin helped him take that final step.

As Ye Chen struggled to suppress his rage, he heard ”He Tian” slyly say, ”Brother, I know, you’re too bashful to take advantage of someone!”

”It’s okay, I’m thick-skinned. I’ll go to Brother Wenyuan—”

Before He Tiantian could finish her sentence, two voices rang in her ears and deep within her sea of consciousness:

”No way!”

”Ding! Male lead anger value +5!”

He Tiantian: ...Oh wow, that’s quite a haul this time.

And from this, it was clear how seriously Ye Chen took his friendship with Su Wenyuan.

If anyone tried to damage it, the anger Ye Chen would feel would be no less than the humiliation of being tricked into wetting his pants.

”Why is it not okay? Brother, our family’s situation really isn’t good. And the Su Family isn’t lacking just one apartment—” He Tiantian persisted, continuing to provoke Ye Chen.

”He Tian! When I say no, I mean no!” Ye Chen couldn’t hold it in anymore, he let loose a barrage at He Tiantian!

”Why don’t you listen, when I say that Su Wenyuan and I are just simple friends, our friendship is pure, straightforward, and should never involve any interests!”

”Plus, the Su Family having money is their own affair, what does that have to do with us?”

”If you want to live in a big house, if you want a better life, then you work hard for it yourself, why are you always eyeing what other people have?”

Ye Chen was furious, and he said all this with pure frankness.

But the thing is, ”He Tian”’s position in the Ye Family was somewhat awkward.

Ye Chen’s last statement can easily give rise to misunderstandings (for example, to He Tian, to Mrs. Ye).

Sure enough, the sly smirk on He Tiantian’s face disappeared in an instant, replaced with a look of humiliation and deep shock: ”Brother, so that’s what you’ve always thought of me?”

”...Right, what you said isn’t wrong, I really shouldn’t be fixating on someone else’s home!”

Saying this, He Tiantian turned and went to the kitchen.

Ye Chen was too angry to react at first.

Of course, it might be that he really wasn’t ”beating around the bush,” so he didn’t think in that direction, naturally not realizing that his words could be easily misinterpreted.

But, instinct told Ye Chen that things were about to go south!

He hurried after her and caught ”He Tian” plaintively telling Mrs. Ye who was cooking, ”Aunt, I, I should leave!”

”My brother is right, if you want a good life, you indeed have to work hard, you can’t, you can’t just rely on someone else’s family!”

Ye Chen: ...Fuck, I was just being matter-of-fact, I didn’t want the top-grade cousin to embarrass himself in front of Wenyuan, but I never looked down on him.

Ye Chen indeed did not particularly like He Tian, this lazy cousin with a load of bad habits.

But, out of respect for his real mother, considering the family relationship, and having lived under the same roof for two or three years, deep down, Ye Chen had long considered He Tian one of his own.

It was precisely because Ye Chen saw He Tian as family that he spoke his mind directly, without tiptoeing around the subject, without overthinking.

”Xiao Tian, what are you talking about? What other people’s home? Your aunt’s house is your home!” Mrs. Ye panicked and quickly tried to soothe him.
