Chapter 145 Ning Caicai's Sister - Zhou Ting

"I'm sorry, my parents were terrified of poverty in the past, and they're still very frugal even now."

Ning Caicai sat down next to Ye Lan. Her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum, and she kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look up at Ye Lan.

"It's okay, I used to be like that too. I would save where I could and spend where I could, and ride my bike to the bar."

Ye Lan's joke made Ning Caicai's brows relax, and the oppressive atmosphere in the room was greatly relieved.

"By the way, Xiao Ye, what do you do for a living?"

"I am......."

Ye Lan wanted to tell the truth, but Ning Caicai beat her to it.

"He's a newly transferred PE teacher."

"PE teacher, he's so young! He looks much younger than you!" Zhou Jianhua's expression was slightly surprised.

Although Ye Lan's behavior was mature, her appearance was still somewhat immature, looking almost like a college student.

Ke Ning Caicai seemed to have already prepared a draft in her mind, and responded with a very calm expression:

"He is currently a student at Jiangcheng Sports Institute. Because of his good grades, he was exceptionally recruited by the school to become a physical education teacher."

"Oh, that's right."

Ning Caicai's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Ye Lan also had a particularly good figure, with not a trace of excess fat on her face.

Zhou Jianhua's doubts lessened considerably, and he seemed to agree with this statement.

Ning Caicai breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Why don't you dare tell your parents the truth?" Ye Lan asked in a voice only the two of them could hear.

“I’m worried that if I tell them I’m a game streamer, they’ll look down on me.”

"Is that your reason for lying?"

"I'm only doing this for your own good."

A lie is always a lie; it can never replace the truth.

"Hmph, like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."

Ning Caicai angrily turned her head away. She thought Ye Lan was too awful. She was clearly thinking of him, but he didn't appreciate it at all.

Instead, they started questioning and educating themselves.

It's simply unreasonable.

"By the way, Xiao Ye, how much do you earn a month?" Zhou Jianhua asked the question that he was most concerned about.

"Well, because I'm in my internship, my monthly salary is only a little over 5000. But don't worry, I will definitely make sure Cai Cai has a good life in the future."

Ye Lan immediately switched to the identity that Ning Caicai had arranged for him.

This statement was delivered with genuine emotion and utmost sincerity; even Zhang Yimou, upon arriving, had to praise the veteran actor.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianhua's face visibly darkened.

Ning Mei, standing to the side, scoffed, "Piecing a cake is useless. Her father said the same thing when he met my parents."

"Now we even have to be careful with our water and electricity bills. Do you think we're happy?"

Ye Lan didn't know how to answer for a moment, and stammered, "There are many kinds of happiness. Isn't it happiness if the whole family is healthy?"

"What good is good health if you're still broke?" Ning Mei scoffed at Ye Lan's words.

"Given your current financial situation, there is absolutely no way we would agree to marry our daughter to you."

Zhou Jianhua exhaled a smoke ring, his words filled with an unquestionable tone.

The atmosphere in the room became oppressive once again.

"Mom and Dad, my sister deposits 10,000 yuan into your account every month, so why do you keep complaining about being poor?"

Ning Caicai jumped up from the sofa, her brows furrowed, her voice filled with anxiety and confusion.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan immediately understood.

Ning Caicai has an older sister.

Moreover, the salary is not low; he can even give his parents 10,000 yuan every month.

If the elderly couple only have Ning Caicai as their daughter, then their living conditions are indeed quite difficult.

Neither of them had a job, and Ning Caicai was an intern with a pitifully low salary.

Thinking about it this way, being stingy and frugal makes sense.

But the two of them actually had a daughter in addition to Ning Caicai.

Moreover, they deposit 10,000 yuan into both of their cards every month.

Although prices in Jiangcheng are not low, 10,000 yuan a month is more than enough for two people to eat, drink and have fun, and can even save up a small fortune.

In this situation, if you're still being so stingy, then you're just making things difficult for yourself.

"So it's not that the miser is stingy, but rather that the greedy creature only takes in and never gives out!"

Ye Lan didn't dare to show it too obviously, and only dared to complain in her heart.

"Oh right, I almost forgot. Your sister said she bought a plane ticket for today and is coming back to help you check it out."

"It seems we'll have to let him have lunch here."

Seeing Ning Mei's condescending expression, Ye Lan sneered inwardly.

Just a moment ago, he was calling her "Xiao Ye" so affectionately, but now he's started referring to her as "he".

"Oh, isn't my sister's company in Shanghai?"

“I talked to her about you having a boyfriend a few days ago, and she immediately said she would buy the earliest flight on Saturday and come back to help you check him out.”

"If she cared about her own affairs this much, she wouldn't still be single at 30."

Ning Mei took back the unopened bottle of mineral water in front of Ye Lan.

Seeing this, Ye Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Or I might as well not eat here. Anyway, you two aren't satisfied with my conditions, so even if her sister is, it won't make a difference."

"I have other things to do this afternoon, so I won't bother you any longer."

He felt that Ning Caicai's parents were quite unreasonable, and that staying even a minute longer would be torture, so he wanted to leave in a hurry.

Just then, the sound of a key entering the lock came from the iron gate.

With a click, the door opened.

A tall woman dressed in a black business suit walked in.

The long, slender legs in black stockings instantly drew Ye Lan's attention.

But as her gaze moved upwards, Ye Lan froze on the spot.

"Mom and Dad, has my sister's boyfriend arrived yet?"

"Just arrived. This is Xiao Ning's boyfriend, a PE teacher. He seems to be still a student."

Because the light was too dim, it was difficult to see clearly.

Zhou Ting casually turned on the living room light switch, and when her gaze fell on Ye Lan, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"Ye Lan? When did you become my sister's boyfriend? Weren't you just creating a CP (couple pairing) with Lin Xueyao?"

"This is a bit complicated to explain, I'll explain it to you slowly later."

Ye Lan was completely stunned. He never expected that Ning Caicai's sister was his boss, Zhou Ting, the person in charge of the Tiger Shark King of Glory game section!

Ning Caicai's parents obviously didn't know what "CP" meant, and asked Zhou Ting how she met Ye Lan, looking completely bewildered.

"Mom, you don't know, Ye Lan is a game streamer under my management, and I am her boss."

Zhou Ting has a straightforward personality, which immediately reveals her true nature.

Upon hearing this, Ning's mother glared angrily at Ye Lan, "Didn't you tell us you were a college student and a physical education teacher?"

Ye Lan calmly turned her head and looked into Ning Caicai's dark eyes, which were as clear as a spring.

"I told you, a lie is always a lie, and it can never replace the truth."
