Chapter: 4131

Li Xiaofen quickly said, "Hey, don't call him Mr. Ye like that, just call him Ye Cheng brother like me!"

As she spoke, Li Xiaofen looked at Ye Cheng and said sincerely, "Ye Cheng brother, I've been treating Claudine as if she were my own sister, and since you're her brother, that makes her your niece. So you should treat her like a little sister too..."

Ye Cheng's eyes immediately saw through Li Xiaofen's intentions, knowing that she must have hoped he would take revenge for Claudine on behalf of the blood debt. That was why she had deliberately arranged Claudine as his "little sister" to be under his care.

As for Ye Cheng himself, he appreciated Claudine's spirit and indeed wanted to help her. So he nodded slowly and smiled slightly, saying, "Since that's the case, from now on you can call me brother like Xiao Fen does. If anything happens in the future, just tell me directly, and I'll definitely be able to help."

Claudine hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit touched. She had almost gotten used to saying "brother" when her eyes lit up again.

She was a slow-to-warm-up girl with a cold and independent personality. It took some time for her to fully open up.

However, she genuinely felt grateful towards the three people in front of her. Ye Cheng's words made her feel protected, too.

Li Xiao Fen and Li Aunt were no exception, but it was also Ye Cheng who had initially shown such consideration, making her feel a sense of being cared for.

In her family, Claudine was the eldest sister, having never had an older brother to protect her. She only had two younger brothers to look after, so she had developed a strong personality and learned to take care of others. However, many times, she also longed in her heart to have an older brother who could take care of and protect her, especially after experiencing a huge change at home that made this desire even stronger.

This made her think back to what happened at the convenience store today.

When Huang Xinyu, Li Haoyang, and their two followers ran into the convenience store to bully herself, it was Ye Cheng who stood up voluntarily and protected her.

However, she had always wondered, what method did Ye Cheng use to make Li Haoyang, who had always followed Huang Xinyu blindly, suddenly lose his rationality and look like he was driven by his own impulses? But she felt that the situation wasn't as simple as that...

The four of them happily finished their meal. Claudia and Li Xiao Fen were helping Li Aunt clean up the dining table and kitchen when Guo Lei's phone rang on Claudia's phone.

Claudia answered it, and Guo Lei told her, "Older sister, I've already arrived at Xiao Fen's doorstep. Tell that big brother to come out."

Claudia said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell Mr. Ye."

Immediately, Claudia hung up the phone and came over to Ye Cheng, whispering, "Mr. Ye, Guo Lei has already arrived at the doorstep."

Ye Cheng nodded slightly and called out to Li Xiao Fen, "Xiao Fen, if you're free, come with me to take a walk outside?"

Claudia knew Mr. Ye was going to Guo Lei's casino, so she quickly said, "Alright, Brother Ye, wait for me a minute."

After that, she told Li Auntie, "Li Auntie, I'm taking Brother Ye out for a walk outside. You don't need to clean up the dishes; just let Claudia put them in the dishwasher later on."

Li Auntie laughed and said, "I'm not busy either, so why don't you all go together? Let's turn around sometime."

Claudia hesitated for a moment before saying, "I... I think I'll stay behind. I'll help with cleaning instead."

Unaware of the situation, Li Auntie chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it; I can handle cleaning myself. You should go along too; don't always stay home after work."

Claudia thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, Li Auntie, then I'll join Xiao Fen sister and Brother Ye to take a walk..."

Claudia's heart was indeed not very at ease, and she wanted to follow Brother Ye over there to see what was going on.

Mr. Ye didn't care much as long as Claudia herself was willing to go; he had no opinion about it either. JrNovels.com
