Lin Yu treated Yuan Ye like a younger brother, so since Yuan Ye had spoken up, he naturally had to give him face.
So he agreed to Yuan Hong's request to attend the banquet the next day.
"Mr. Lin, it's getting late. I'll have Yuan Ye take you to the mansion to rest in a bit!"
Back at the villa, Yuan Hong had a servant bring over a set of keys.
This is a residential complex developed by the Yuan family earlier, Qilin Mansion.
This property development was amazing. Back in 2015 and 2016, the land price was incredibly cheap. Yuan Hong used his connections to secure it, and then over the next two years, the property prices skyrocketed, doubling in value! Yuan Hong made a fortune.
However, he kept one-third of this property for himself, to use for cultivating relationships. Many retired officials live there. The facilities and services in the community are top-notch, and those who can afford to live there are all extremely wealthy and influential.
Yuan Hong handed the keys to Yuan Ye, meaning he wanted Yuan Ye to take Lin Yu to the Qilin Mansion to choose a villa for Lin Yu.
Yuan Ye was both amused and exasperated. What kind of status did the young marshal have? Would he even be interested in your shabby little mansion?
However, we still need to find a place to stay, and compared to other options, the mansion's environment is quite nice.
So Yuan Ye pulled Lin Yu to the Qilin Mansion.
Watching Yuan Ye and Lin Yu's departing figures, Yuan Hong fell into deep thought.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Yuan Fang couldn't help but ask.
Yuan Hong shook his head and sighed, "This Commander Lin is no ordinary person!"
Yuan Fang was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, such a master is a rare find in the world. I never expected that there would be such a unique person in the Fengtian Army!"
"You really believe he's a soldier?" Yuan Hong chuckled and shook his head.
Yuan Fang was stunned again, then frowned and said, "Dad, could it be that this person is hiding his identity? Then, could he be plotting something? Should I have someone investigate him?"
Yuan Hong waved his hand, "No need. Although your brother is a bit simple-minded, he's not stupid. He can tell the difference between good and bad people! Besides, if he wanted to harm our Yuan family, he wouldn't have helped us today!"
Yuan Fang nodded, "Yes! Commander Lin saved our Yuan family's life and is our great benefactor. You taught us from a young age that we should repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude. We should always find a way to repay him in the future!"
Yuan Hong's lips curled slightly. "What do you think of him? Lou Fei has come a few times. I noticed your attitude was lukewarm, so I guess you don't like him. If you don't like him, then don't force it. If our Yuan family can get help from a master like Commander Lin, then we naturally won't have to be afraid of the Ma family!"
"Dad, what are you saying!" Yuan Fang's pretty face flushed red.
The engagement is tomorrow, and I never expected my dad to say something like that. He really does come up with something out of the blue.
However, thinking about Lin Yu's performance today, especially when he was throwing needles, he seemed to be radiating light, and he really had the demeanor of a hermit master.
While this style may not be as flamboyant as that of a domineering CEO, it possesses a unique brilliance.
Yuan Hong smiled and said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about this for now. Tomorrow is just an engagement, not a wedding. The significance of the engagement is nothing more than a business alliance, a mutual benefit between us and the Lou family! If the relationship between our two families cools down in the future, the engagement can be dissolved at any time!"
“Yes!” Yuan Fang nodded. “Dad, that’s what I think too. Actually, I didn’t want to get married in the first place. Yuan Ye is still young and doesn’t understand things. I’ll at least wait until he’s able to take over the Yuan family before I consider my own situation!”
Yuan Hong shook his head and sighed, "Fangfang, you've always been too sensible! If that brat Yuan Ye were half as sensible as you, I could finally rest easy!"
Yuan Fang comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. Yuan Ye is just young and used to being wild outside. When he comes back in a couple of years, he'll find a girlfriend, settle down, and everything will be fine!"
"Besides, I think the military is quite good at training people. It's good for him to stay longer. I feel that he has matured a lot since he came back this time!" Yuan Fang couldn't help but sigh.
Yuan Hong nodded, looking pleased, and said, "Yes! I feel he has indeed changed a lot since he came back this time. He didn't waste his time as a soldier!"
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. We need to make proper preparations for tomorrow's banquet!" Yuan Hong said.
Yuan Fang quickly said, "Dad, don't worry, I've already arranged everything!"
"There are rumors outside that you're about to die, and Ma Youcai will definitely come to join the fun tomorrow. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle it alone, but now that you're better, you're here in person to oversee things, so there's nothing to be afraid of!" Yuan Fang sneered.
Yuan Hong nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said, "Bring all the experts from our family over tomorrow. I don't believe he'll dare to do anything!"
...
Meanwhile, Lin Yu and Yuan Ye had already arrived at the Qilin Mansion.
The mansion is located on a mountain.
The air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful.
Although it's in the suburbs, the lighting is excellent, making it as bright as daytime everywhere. In some areas, the use of shimmering LED strips creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, preventing it from feeling cold or desolate.
After the two got out of the car, Yuan Ye led Lin Yu upstairs.
Yuan Ye was taking Lin Yu to the villa on the mountaintop. This villa was actually transferred to him by Yuan Hong as a gift for his eighteenth birthday.
“Young Marshal, this villa was a gift from my father, worth thirty million. I’m not used to living in a place like this, so I’m giving it to you from now on. I heard that your wife is also in Harbin. You can come here for a vacation together!” Yuan Ye said generously.
"A villa worth 30 million, just given away like that. No wonder he's a rich second-generation, so generous!" Lin Yu couldn't help but joke.
Yuan Ye blushed. "Young Marshal, please don't make fun of me. In the entire Northeast, who dares to call themselves a rich second-generation in front of you? I'm just a little Kalami!"
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head. "Come on, stop flattering me! You can keep the villa for yourself. My wife does business in the city, which is far from here, so she can't stay here! I can bring her here to relax sometime!"
As they talked, they arrived at the mountaintop.
There are a total of twenty or thirty detached small buildings on the mountaintop, surrounding the "King of Buildings" that Yuan Ye mentioned.
As we passed a small building, a couple on the roadside suddenly screamed in surprise.
"Yuan Ye??"
"Damn! It really is you, kid!?"
Once the two confirmed it was Yuan Ye, they immediately glared at him and strode over menacingly!
None other than Wang Jinlian's parents, Wang Zhensheng and Zhang Xiu!
