After Yan Shixing became the head of the Yan family, his temperament changed a lot, from sunny to cold, and from cheerful to indifferent.
Master Yan saw the entire process most clearly, especially after the old lady passed away.
After that, I never liked going back to my family again.
But every year he would return to the manor at a fixed time to stay for a while and accompany Master Yan.
This made Mr. Yan happy. His son was now busy with various affairs, and he was glad that he could spare time to accompany him.
What’s annoying is that my son, who is in his forties, is still single, which makes him very worried.
Logically speaking, when Yan Shixing became the head of the Yan family, he should have chosen someone with a suitable family background to be the mistress of the Yan family, which would have provided him with an additional force to help him control the family.
But Yan Shixing refused and devoted himself to his work. He was so capable and skillful that he didn't need any help at all, so no one dared to say a word.
That's how Yan Shixing remained unmarried, putting it off until now when he is already old.
Looking at those in the clan who were of the same age as Yan Shixing, they all had pairs of children. Master Yan just watched other old men playing with their grandchildren, and he was envious.
The old lady's passing was already lonely and sad enough for him, and Yan Shixing was still so disappointing, leaving him, an old man, in this villa for more than half a year, so he started to have ideas.
But fate is so cruel. Yan Shixing rejected the partners arranged by Master Yan countless times, which made Master Yan so angry that he got older and older.
When he heard the butler say that Yan Shixing was back, he quickly asked someone to prepare.

In the house of the ancient Chinese-style building, Yan Shixing was sitting on a soft couch on the floor with a pot of fragrant tea brewing on the table.
Leng Bai's hands held the warm teacup and sipped it quietly. On the desk with dim eyes was a photo of Old Madam Yan from more than ten years ago.
The classical and elegant green robe makes the old lady look gentle, beautiful, noble and elegant.
Yan Shixing's most respected and beloved mother.
He lowered his head and sipped the tea in the cup, enjoying this rare leisure time until Li Ma appeared.
"Young Master, you're back!" Aunt Li is over sixty years old and has been serving the old lady since she was a child.
After the old lady passed away more than ten years ago, Li Ma still stayed in the Yan family, but she was only willing to guard the old lady's things and take care of her son.
In the entire Yan family, only Aunt Li still calls Yan Shixing "Young Master".
Yan Shixing respected the old lady very much and never let her do the work of a servant. Li Ma lived in this old house and never went out. She wiped the old lady's things over and over again every day without asking anyone else to do it.
When the old lady was alive, she had a deep relationship with Li Ma, like best friends.
Yan Shixing has been under her care since he was born. Since Li Ma has no family, she treats the old lady's family as relatives, and even more so, she treats Yan Shixing as her own child.
"Auntie Li, please sit down!" Yan Shixing smiled gently and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Auntie Li.
"Young Master, how long will you stay this time? I, Aunt Li, haven't seen you for half a year. You've been so busy that you've lost weight. Haven't you eaten well?" Aunt Li saw that although Yan Shixing looked good, he looked much thinner, and she couldn't help but worry.
"It's okay." Yan Shixing felt a little warm in his heart. Aunt Li was simply the incarnation of the old lady. Everything was centered around him, and her concern was chaotic. "I'll be back today, and I'll be leaving soon!"
He was worried that the child would feel lonely and wronged because he was alone in the unfamiliar Shengjing.
He always remembered that when they were in Europe, Shi Qi cried and threw herself into Ye Jiuye's arms, shouting that he should not leave her alone.
For no reason, it made him feel very sad.
