Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: The Difference in Upbringing

But Zhou Tingting was different. As a rare beauty among thousands, she was already eye-catching.

Her shout just now drew the attention of many people nearby.

And when the girl next to her called out Ye Fei’s name, it immediately attracted everyone’s gaze.

If this had happened a year ago, Ye Fei would have surely been exposed to the public eye. Fortunately, after a year in the True Void Realm, his cultivation had greatly increased, and he had become much more adept at using his domain.

As others began to notice this area, he quickly released his domain to envelop this small space.

As a result, those outside the domain’s range only saw an ordinary-looking him and then lost interest, mistaking him for just another person with the same name as Ye Fei.

After all, the name ”Ye Fei” wasn’t particularly unusual.

Zhou Tingting didn’t realize anything was amiss and happily grabbed Ye Fei’s hand, asking excitedly, ”Ye Fei brother, were you released early?”

Innocent as she was, she didn’t understand the complexities and thought Ye Fei had truly been in jail for the past year and was now just released early.

In contrast, the girl next to her had a skeptical expression, clearly aware of what was going on.

Ye Fei smiled but didn’t explain anything, simply saying, ”Yeah, they said I behaved well and reduced my sentence.”

”Were you really... arrested because of that?” Zhou Tingting continued to ask.

As a young girl, she couldn’t bring herself to say the word ”rape,” but she knew Ye Fei would understand what she meant.

The other girl, upon hearing Zhou Tingting’s words, curled her lip again. She had heard about Ye Fei’s case last year, which had caused a sensation, but she never believed it was true.

In her view, even if someone from her family raped a woman from a business family, the less important members of her family wouldn’t face any serious consequences, let alone Ye Fei, whose status was higher than the most important people in her family.

”Yeah, I made a mistake in the heat of the moment back then,” Ye Fei admitted directly.

Since he had decided to take responsibility, he wouldn’t deny it in front of others.

Moreover, he had already noticed that Zhou Tingting had feelings for him, and since his family and hers were destined to clash, he thought it was a good opportunity to put an end to her hopes and prevent the innocent girl from getting more involved.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Ye Fei’s admission, Zhou Tingting didn’t show any sign of disappointment.

Instead, she introduced the other girl, ”Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my good friend, Zhang Jia. Zhang Jia, this is Ye Fei, the one I always talk about.”

”Hi,” Ye Fei and the girl greeted each other and shook hands lightly.

Then the girl said, ”Ye Fei, you finally showed up. You have no idea how much Tingting has missed you this past year.”

”I haven’t!” Zhou Tingting’s face turned slightly red, and she looked at Ye Fei with the same affectionate gaze, which puzzled Ye Fei.

What Ye Fei didn’t know was that if it had been a year ago, hearing him admit to rape would have been unacceptable to Zhou Tingting and would have had a significant impact on her.

However, over the past year, there had been so many rumors about him that he had almost been portrayed as a super villain.

When these rumors were eventually proven to be ”false,” it made Zhou Tingting feel that the incident wasn’t that serious after all.

It’s like when someone occasionally steals something; if it’s immediately exposed, people would think he’s a bad person.

But later, if he’s falsely accused of murder and arson, and it’s proven that he was wronged, most people would subconsciously forgive his minor mistake and consider him not a bad person.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them began to stroll down the street together.

Naturally, Zhou Tingting walked beside Ye Fei, while Zhang Jia didn’t take the other side of Ye Fei because of his uniqueness.

Instead, she walked next to Zhou Tingting, placing her in the middle. She had a good upbringing and knew her place.

After chatting casually for a while, Ye Fei casually asked, ”By the way, it’s so far from your home. How did you end up here?”

”We just wanted to go for a walk and ended up here before we knew it,” Zhou Tingting quickly replied.

The real reason she had come so far was to get away from her mother, who had been badmouthing Ye Fei almost every day for the past year, trying to make her dislike him as well.

Although she knew her mother meant well, Zhou Tingting didn’t want to listen. Of course, she would never admit this reason in front of Ye Fei.

Accompanying the two girls until it was almost ten, they had to head home.

Ye Fei, who had previously been troubled about how to deal with Old Man Zhou, no longer felt conflicted after running into Zhou Tingting. He decided to confront him directly and decided to ”visit” the Zhou family with her.

Since it was such a long way, the two girls hadn’t walked here but had driven a car. Naturally, Ye Fei became their designated driver.

After getting in the car, Zhang Jia, who hadn’t spoken much, suddenly said, ”Ye Fei, you’re so amazing. You must be no worse than those special forces in novels, right? Can you show us some high-speed driving?”

”That’s not a good idea. There are so many cars here,” Zhou Tingting objected before Ye Fei could speak.

Zhang Jia laughed and said, ”What’s the problem? A real expert wouldn’t be affected by traffic conditions. Don’t you have confidence in your Ye Fei brother?”

”Of course I have confidence in Ye Fei brother, but...” Zhou Tingting frowned, ”Other people can’t handle it. If we drive too fast, others will be scared and could cause accidents.”

Zhang Jia dismissed the concern with a wave of her hand, ”Then that’s their fault.”

”I don’t have that good of a skill,” Ye Fei said indifferently, inwardly sighing.

Among the disciples of those families, Zhang Jia was already quite decent.

And from their earlier conversation, Ye Fei knew that Zhang Jia’s family wasn’t a top-tier one, similar to the previous Li family.

Yet, even so, they didn’t care about the lives of ordinary people. No wonder Number One was so supportive of him eliminating this kind of family structure.

In contrast, Zhou Tingting was much better. This was partly due to her kind nature, but also thanks to her good upbringing.

Thinking back, apart from dealing with his own Liu and Ye families, Old Man Zhou hadn’t done anything wrong in his life.

He had always worked for the country and its people, and he hadn’t given any privileges to his son either. Otherwise, Zhou Bo wouldn’t have achieved what he has now.
