chapter 24 Ex-girlfriend

"Mom, Aiden Ye isn't that kind of person!" Xandra Ning naturally didn't want to believe it. "If he's not that kind of person, then why did he donate his kidney to Elsa Shen? Just to be a son-in-law, he even donated his kidney. What wouldn't he do? If he's not living off Ms. Maple, then tell me, why would she help him?" Jayden Ning argued. Xandra Ning lowered her head, not knowing what to say. "Don't worry, Xandra. We won't expose him. In fact, we'll even teach him to please Ms. Maple. After all, we're depending on others now. And if we can use Ms. Maple's connections, maybe we have a chance to rise again and return to the Ning family!" Although they were driven out of the Ning family, they still wanted to return. After all, their father had no choice at that time. If he hadn’t driven them out, it wouldn't just be Jayden Ning falling, but the entire Ning family. Soon, Aiden Ye returned. "Uncle, Auntie, how do you find this place?" Aiden Ye asked. "It's okay, a bit old, but livable," Wendy Chen casually said. "If you need anything, just tell Maple. Maple, do whatever you can to fulfill their needs," Aiden Ye told Maple. "Aiden Ye, how can you talk to Ms. Maple like that?" Wendy Chen's voice rose as she spoke. In her eyes, Aiden Ye was living off Maple. How dare he speak to her with such an attitude? "Then, how should I speak?" Aiden Ye looked at Wendy Chen, puzzled. "Is this how you ask for help? If you want Ms. Maple to do something for you, you need to say please," Wendy Chen lectured, then turned to Maple with a flattering smile. "Ms. Maple, Aiden Ye is young and doesn't know any better. Please don't take it personally. I'll teach him well." Maple was confused by Wendy Chen's words. But after all, she was Aiden Ye's mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to say anything. Fearing she might speak out of turn. "Aiden Ye, you must be more polite to Ms. Maple, understand?" Wendy Chen acted like an elder. "Understood, Auntie," Aiden Ye nodded. Wendy Chen nodded, satisfied with Aiden Ye's obedient response. "Ms. Maple, if Aiden Ye ever treats you badly, just punish him severely. I've got your back!" Maple's lips twitched, thinking to herself that she wouldn't dare punish him; it would be more likely the other way around. But it seemed like the young master wasn't too interested in her, not even willing to "punish" her. "Alright, Aiden Ye, go cook. Ms. Maple must be hungry after a long day," Wendy Chen instructed. "I'll cook right away," Maple said immediately. "No, Ms. Maple, let Aiden Ye do it. He's quite good at it," Wendy Chen knew Aiden Ye was responsible for taking care of the Shen family's household and was a good cook. He had even cooked at her house before, and the food was quite good. To win a woman's heart, start with her stomach. This was the best way to please Ms. Maple. "Aiden Ye..." Maple didn't dare to let Aiden Ye cook and looked at him for help. "It's okay, Maple, I'll cook. It's been a long time since Sister Xandra had my cooking," Aiden Ye said indifferently. "That's more like it!" Wendy Chen nodded, satisfied with Aiden Ye's compliance. "Then, I'll help!" Maple was bewildered by Wendy Chen's actions. Aiden Ye and Maple went to cook, and Xandra Ning seemed a bit unhappy. Although she didn't believe Aiden Ye was living off someone else, what other possibility was there? Without Maple's help, how would Aiden Ye have escaped from the Shen family today? If there was no relationship between them, why would Maple help Aiden Ye? Besides, Aiden Ye has a history of being a live-in son-in-law before… "Don't say, this kid is quite lucky, being able to be Ms. Maple's kept man," Jayden Ning remarked, looking at Maple's graceful figure, unable to help but sigh. A woman like Maple, with peak beauty and a great figure, and also very capable, is practically the fantasy of every man. The key is that she seems gentle, not like Elsa Shen, who always acts high and mighty. Although Jayden Ning had actually seen Elsa Shen today, she was sitting in a wheelchair, and her eyes were bandaged, so he didn't recognize her. "What’s good about that? Do you think being a kept man is something to be proud of? When they like you, you can do whatever you want, but once they get bored, they'll kick you out. Then you'll realize you're nothing. It seems Elsa Shen's lesson wasn't harsh enough for Aiden Ye," Wendy Chen commented coldly. "You're right, wife," Jayden Ning agreed with Wendy Chen's words. Meanwhile, William Li shook his head. He had just realized what was going on. The Ning family was treating Aiden Ye as Maple's kept man. But that was normal. If it weren't for seeing Maple's respectful behavior towards Aiden Ye and even kneeling to him, he might have thought the same. "How can you be so sure Aiden is Maple's kept man? What if he's not?" William Li spoke up. "Hehe, if Aiden Ye isn’t Maple’s kept man, I’ll write my name backward." "Exactly. If it weren’t for Maple, he couldn’t have escaped from the Shen family today." The old couple was convinced of Aiden Ye's identity as a kept man. "You think so, then let it be," William Li didn't bother explaining further. The truth would come out eventually. And when it did, it would surely shock Wendy Chen and Jayden Ning. They continued their conversation. "Honey, you say Aiden Ye has one kidney less. He shouldn’t be able to be Maple's kept man, right?" Jayden Ning couldn't help but ask. "How would I know! Maybe Ms. Maple likes that kind of thing!" Wendy Chen blushed slightly. Recalling the incident that happened in the rental house, her heart beat fast. She was puzzled. Aiden Ye obviously had one kidney less, but how was he still able to... But she couldn't tell Jayden Ning about that. Jayden Ning was sensitive about such matters. She didn't want to hurt his pride. Soon, Aiden Ye and Maple prepared a table full of dishes. After dinner, everyone rested. The night passed without incident. The next morning, Aiden Ye went out with William Li. They planned to buy some daily necessities. Although other things could be done by Maple, clothes and personal items needed to be chosen personally. They arrived at a high-end men's clothing store. Jayden Ning thought Aiden Ye's black card only had five thousand yuan, so he returned the card to Aiden Ye. Aiden Ye also wanted to see if there was any money left in the card. Soon, they began choosing clothes. William Li had just picked out a piece and wanted to try it on. A mocking voice rang out, "Oh, isn't that William Li? We sell high-end men's clothes here. Can you afford it? If you can't afford it, don't touch it. If you dirty it, you can't pay for it!" William Li turned around and saw a somewhat attractive female sales associate, looking at them with a sneer. The sales associate was none other than William Li's ex-girlfriend!
