In Xiaoxi's courtyard house in Beijing.

Xiao Xi and Ye Lingfeng sat under a tree enjoying the cool shade.

Ye Lingfeng said to his sister, "Xiaoxi, you don't need to blame yourself. After all, finding the ancestor is everyone's business. Our teachers and the others haven't relaxed for a single day. They're hiding in every corner of the capital, and news will eventually come."

"Eighth Brother, I feel that this matter concerning the Ancestor has been dragging on for too long. It's making people feel uneasy and is really getting on their nerves."

Ye Lingfeng also knew that Xiaoxi was about to start school, and for Xiaoxi, she really couldn't stay in the capital for too long.

"Why don't you go back to Shencheng first, Xiaoxi? The old ancestor is too cunning. We really don't know which dark corner he's hiding in. The time cost is too high, it's not worth it."

So Xiaoxi, you go back to Shanghai first, I'll stay in Beijing and keep an eye on things.”

Xiaoxi thought about it and realized that this was the only way. With Uncle Song and the others by his side, Xiaoxi wasn't worried about his safety.

If that doesn't work, and there's any trouble in the capital, doesn't she have a magic door? If anything happens, she can just enter the magic door and rush from Shanghai to the capital.

Ye Shiming, who was temporarily staying next door, had just returned from the company and heard that Xiaoxi was going back to Shanghai. Of course, he was very reluctant to see her go.

He immediately came over and invited Xiaoxi to have dinner at Fengzeyuan, the best Chinese restaurant in Beijing.

Xiaoxi really liked the dining atmosphere at Fengzeyuan. This restaurant features a Qing Dynasty imperial style, offers dishes inspired by traditional Manchu cuisine, and the waiters are dressed in Manchu clothing, making you feel like you've traveled back in time.

Xiaoxi quickly checked online and found that Fengzeyuan is the best and most upscale Chinese restaurant in Beijing, and the chefs there are all like her second brother, who are national culinary masters.

The waiter very attentively led Xiaoxi and her companions to a private room.

"Second Uncle, I really like the dining atmosphere here. I heard that you have to make a reservation a week in advance. How did you manage to make a reservation?"

“I have a VIP black card here. Actually, I own shares here. The owner is my friend. I can come to eat here anytime I want.”

Soon the dishes began to be served. Each dish was carefully selected and cooked, and not only were they delicious and visually appealing, but they also demonstrated the restaurant's respect for ingredients and its pursuit of culinary art.

Although Xiaoxi isn't particularly enthusiastic about cooking, she's quite professional at it. She enjoyed the meal very much, especially the crystal cabbage dish that was served later, which made her think.

The way she cooked the cabbage was very similar to the dish she made for her ancestor at the Ye family's ancestral home.

I wonder if that old ancestor will come to this restaurant, and how he will react when he eats this crystal cabbage?

Ye Shiming interrupted Xiaoxi's thoughts.

"Xiaoxi, your second uncle has a gift for you today. You must accept it." Ye Shiming took out a file folder.

Xiaoxi opened the file bag and was surprised to find it contained 15% of the shares of the Ye Group in Beijing.

She was taken aback. "Second Uncle, I can't accept this gift. It's impossible for me to enjoy your company's dividends every year without doing anything."

"Xiaoxi, you're being too polite. You saved your second uncle and Jiayang. After your second uncle's courtyard house had an accident, you unconditionally protected his family and let him eat and live for free in your brother's courtyard house."

So you must accept these shares. I've already thought it through thoroughly, and I knew you'd decline. That's why I'm giving you this gift only after you're returning to Shanghai.

Ye Shiming then feigned anger, "Does my cousin think that her second uncle's life isn't worth 15% of the shares?"

Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Second Uncle, everyone says that you have to do things for money. I haven't even resolved the issue of the Ancestor yet. Even if you are going to give me this big gift, I won't feel at ease accepting it."
