Chapter 17 Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner at the Old House
In early October, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ni Yang returned to Yinshuang Manor early in the morning with marshmallows.
He Siyu was still abroad, so she came back alone.
Ling Xiaoye was so happy to see Marshmallow that he and his dog had a great time playing on the lawn of the manor.
Ni Yang and Ms. Ling sat on the double hanging basket swing nearby.
"Si Yu called us this morning to apologize and said he couldn't come back for the time being. When he comes back, he will definitely have dinner with you and us."
Ms. Ling looked at her big baby in a daze, wondering how could she get married so soon.
"I'll be back in a few days."
Ni Yang leaned on Ms. Ling's shoulder and rubbed her softly.
"Do you usually call?"
"Yeah, let's video chat when we have time. We can't let him miss Marshmallow's growth period. Let him feel involved."
The swing was creaking and not far away, Ono was being chased by Marshmallow and laughing.
The sun is shining and large white clouds are hanging in the sky.
Ms. Ling: "It sounds like you two get along quite well. Your uncle and I were worried that you wouldn't be able to accept He Siyu's old-fashioned attitude."
Ni Yang suddenly felt that everyone's first impression of He Siyu was that he was old-fashioned. He was obviously a thoughtful and warm-hearted man, which was completely different from old-fashioned.
"Aunt, he's not old-fashioned and is very meticulous. Yutang's studio is very similar to my studio. If he wasn't attentive, how could he have achieved this?"
Ms. Ling was surprised. "That's great. I'm glad I'm attentive to you."
“Very attentive.”
The family had a reunion dinner at noon. Around five in the afternoon, Ni Yang left the marshmallows at the manor and took a car to the He family's old house alone.
It’s a festival for family reunion, and the old house becomes lively early on.
Mr. He and Mrs. He's brothers and sisters all came back here, and the parking area outside the gate was filled with luxury cars.
As soon as Ni Yang got off the car, the housekeeper and servants came with gifts. She walked through the gate, walked on the arch bridge and the corridor, and people were looking at her everywhere.
Uncle Zheng followed her and introduced the identities of those people in a low voice.
"The one wearing red is the child of the old man's sister, Shang Shang, who is still in college."
"The ones sitting in the pavilion over there are the son and daughter of the old man's sister. They are both working at the grassroots level in Yi'an now."
"The person calling is the son of the old man's younger brother, He Jinbai, who is the vice president in Yi'an."
The further in he went, the more people there were, and Ni Yang felt social anxiety for the first time.
They were all unfamiliar faces. She went straight to the hall, where the old man and the old lady were drinking tea and chatting with the uncles and aunts.
When the old lady saw her coming, she stood up and went to greet her. She felt very relieved to see the rosary she had given her on Ni Yang's wrist.
Introduced her to the uncles with a smile.
"Yangyang, everyone has met Si Yu's wife at the engagement party. Si Yu is still on a business trip. Don't bully my granddaughter-in-law while Si Yu is away. If this happens to me and the old man, don't come back to the old house."
In front of those uncles and aunts who were eyeing the He family, the old lady directly pointed out the position of Ni Yang in her and the old man's hearts.
Bullying her is equivalent to giving up the right to distribute the He family's property in the future.
As soon as these words were spoken, Ni Yang's status in the He family was second only to the three current heads of the family.
Wen Shuhua and He Chuanhan's smiles did not reach their eyes. The two old guys were so biased that they had gone astray.
A girl from another family who just married into the family can get such a high honor. What are those who work so hard for the He family? Are they scapegoats?
He Rong (Mr. He's younger brother): "Sister-in-law, you're really joking. Yangyang is not only Si Yu's wife, but she's also Mr. Ni's sweetheart. Anyone who dares to bully her is really tired of living."
Someone else echoed, "Yes, but I haven't seen this heirloom rosary in a long time. Today, thanks to Si Yu's wife, I was able to see this treasure worth over a billion."
Ni Yang's hand was held by the old lady and he sat next to her.
She calmly scanned the faces of the people around her. There was an undercurrent in the He family.
From the moment she came in, everyone stared at the thing on her wrist, with rich expressions on their faces.
Anger, greed, confusion, resentment, envy, there are really not many scenes where you can see so many different emotions at once.
You can see everything at the He family’s Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
Out of politeness, Ni Yang greeted the elders one by one, with a proper fake smile on his face that became semi-permanent.
During the dinner that night, someone drank too much and let the cat out of the bag.
"Chuanhan, you're stretching your hand too far. Do you think you can covet the London branch? You've placed so many of your own people in the management. What do you want to do? Are you trying to seize power? Your son single-handedly saved that branch, and it's now one of the best companies in London. How dare you do this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Everyone looked at He Chuanhan. He frowned, his body trembling uncontrollably, and he lowered his head, not daring to look into the old man's eyes.
Wen Shuhua instantly understood what Hesi wanted to say that day.
He went on a business trip to London to eliminate the dissidents planted by his father.
She had no idea about this matter. He Chuanhan had been in a bad mood these past two days, and she thought someone had given Yi An a hard time.
Now we know that his plan was discovered and failed.
Idiot! Why not target any other company? Go after the one in London.
That was a company that the old man attached great importance to. After Hess took office, he used the most ingenious means to save the company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
It has achieved incredible status in London in recent years.
Old Man He slammed the chopsticks in his hand, scaring Ni Yang so much that her body trembled. The old lady saw it and patted her hands soothingly.
"Chuanhan, are you very dissatisfied with me giving the group to Siyu? To be honest, do you hate me as a father?"
The old man's voice was calm, and there was no sound of anger in his voice. He just spoke to Hechuan Han in the calmest tone.
I don’t know if I stepped on the man’s tail.
He raised his head, and his eyes, which looked very much like those of Old Man He, glared resentfully at his father who was sitting on the upper seat. Even though he was old, his aura was still majestic.
He stood up and questioned the person sitting in the upper seat with a smile.
"Hate? Of course I hate you. You were the one who gave up on me first. You made me what I am today. I'm your son, why didn't you consider me first? You taught all your skills to He Siyu, a person who shouldn't have been born."
"Why? I'm his father, and I have to work under my own son. I have to look up to him when investing in a project. All the project proposals were rejected by that bastard He Siyu. Where can I put my face?"
