The next day after returning to Zhongjing, Yan Yue met his grandfather Yin Yongde.
Yin Yongde had high hopes for Yan Yue's return this time. He had always felt that Yan Yue had left Hepu six months ago because of circumstances, and after half a year of keeping a low profile, he would not have to leave again this time. Hearing that Yan Yue was going to continue "recuperation abroad" after the Chinese New Year, Yin Yongde was puzzled and somewhat dissatisfied.
"Are you going to watch yourself lose the inheritance rights of Hepu?" Yin Yongde said angrily.
Yan Yue said calmly, "Grandpa also said it's just the right of inheritance."
The so-called right of succession is just like the crown prince of a country, it is just a nice title. As long as the old emperor is alive, he can change as many crown princes as he wants. Similarly, my father has controlled Hepu for many years and has accumulated a lot of power. Even if my grandfather brings a group of directors to compete, it is nothing more than a little trouble in my father's eyes, and it can't shake my father's position at all. In the past, my father would still take into account the existence of my grandfather and his reputation outside, but now with my mother's commotion, my father has become less and less concerned. Even if he comes back, he is just a puppet who is controlled everywhere.
What's more, when his mother got married, his grandfather diluted half of his shares to her. Yan Yue didn't want to comment on his mother's behavior, but it was undeniable that his mother was the "pig teammate" in the rumors. He appreciated his grandfather's kindness, but not everyone was willing to let him come back like his grandfather did.
Yan Yue emphasized the words "inheritance rights". Yin Yongde choked and knew that Yan Yue was telling the truth. The old man did not give up. He turned around and said tactfully: "Ayue, you can rest for a while, but you are not young anymore. It's time to consider starting a family. Grandpa knows a few good girls, such as the granddaughter of the eldest branch of the Lu family. Do you want to meet them?"
"The Lu family?" Yan Yue asked with a hint of meaning, "Didn't mother intend for Lu Weian and Yin Ya to be together?"
Yin Yongde was a little surprised that Yan Yue knew about this, but then he thought that since the Ye family kid had been in Zhongjing, it was normal for him to hear some rumors. He shook his head, "Your mother is too crazy, and Lu Weian is in poor health. How can Xiaoya marry Lu Weian?"
If we really talk about status, Yin Ya is an illegitimate daughter whose father is not presentable, so she is definitely not worthy of Lu Weian. But Lu Weian's health condition is there, and the Lu family can't pick it. Although Lu Weian looks fine now and goes out with the Lu family every day for social activities, you can't say for sure if his illness will relapse one day. Generally, no family who loves their daughters is willing to marry their daughters to him. In other words, Yin Ya wanted to raise her status by marrying Lu Weian, and completely ignored Lu Weian's health condition. Yin Yongde was furious when he found out, but he couldn't scold Yin Ya, so he found an opportunity to scold Yin Qinglan. Yin Ya is still young and ignorant, and Yin Qinglan doesn't understand either? With Lu Weian's "patched up" body, if something goes wrong one day, it can't be saved. What will Yin Ya do then?
Thinking of this, Yin Yongde was still very angry. The thing he regretted most in his life was that he spoiled Yin Qinglan too much and didn't take care of her when he should have. In the past, he only thought about his daughter being happy, and he would support her even if the sky fell. But who knew that a difference in thought would cultivate his daughter's current personality. Yin Yongde sighed, "Ayue, don't worry, your mother now knows that Lu Weian is not a good man. Besides, there is nothing wrong with Lu Weian and Xiaoya. They were just young people who went out for dinner a few times, and they faded after a while."
Yan Yue curled his lips and said with a hint of mockery: "I'm afraid Yin Ya doesn't think so." Seeing that his grandfather wanted to continue persuading him, Yan Yue simply said: "Let's talk about the Lu family after the New Year. I don't have much time before the New Year."
After he said that, Yin Yongde had nothing more to say.
Yan Yue did not stay at his grandfather's place for long and soon chose to say goodbye. Yin Yongde wanted to keep Yan Yue to have dinner together, but Yan Yue declined. Yin Ya and her mother were about to come back from shopping, and Yan Yue did not want them to ruin her mood. Yin Yongde saw what Yan Yue meant and sighed silently in his heart. The relationship between Yan Yue and his son has been getting worse and worse over the years. In addition to Yin Qinglan's problem, Yan Yue's own personality is also partly to blame. If Yan Yue's temper was not so extreme, even if she was willing to be perfunctory to Yin Ya, they would not have come to this point.
It was not until he returned to the Yan family mansion that Yan Yue's depressed mood improved a little. When he was in Fengcheng before, he felt that the days passed too quickly. Now that he was back in Zhongjing, he felt that time was too slow, and it felt like a year. Seeing An Jie from a distance, Yan Yue walked over and wondered what Xiao Xi was doing now?
Fengcheng Micro Gardening
Lu Lingxi was receiving Xue Yongtong and Gao Yongliang. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and the two brought a bunch of New Year goods to Lu Lingxi. Xue Yongtong had a lot of employees, and he had bought a lot of things in group purchases during this period. In addition to the Spring Festival benefits for his employees, the rest were given away by him. He gave away many gifts to cooperative gardeners, friends he got along with, and relatives.
Lu Lingxi's flower garden also purchased a lot of New Year's goods for the New Year, but Xiao Feng took care of it all. The vegetable greenhouse and Qiutian flower garden are in the same place, so Xiao Feng distributed them together. Seeing what Xue Yongtong brought, Lu Lingxi was a little worried. It was really too much. With only a few people in the family, it would probably take until next year to eat.
Xue Yongtong laughed out loud at Lu Lingxi's childish words and said jokingly, "Don't we still have Dahei? If you can't eat it, give it to Dahei."
He was in a very good mood recently, and of course Gao Yongliang was happier than him. Before the New Year, the cosmetics that Gao Yongliang had been preparing for many years were finally launched on the market. With intensive advertising and strong public relations hype, the skin care products named "Plant Family" by Gao Yongliang gained a good reputation and rising sales records as soon as they were launched. The hard work of the past few years has paid off, and Gao Yongliang is really proud of it. As Gao Yongliang's partner, Xue Yongtong is naturally happy too.
Gao Yongliang smiled and said, "Uncle Gao will give Xiaoxi a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year."
Xue Yongtong said, "Uncle Xue has one too."
Xue Yongtong had tasted the sweetness of the spider plant last time, and Lvxuan Gardening took advantage of the new spider plant to expand its scale. Thinking carefully about the development in the past six months, whether it was the bankruptcy of competitor Qiutian Gardening, the successful launch of Gao Yongliang Cosmetics, or the promotion of spider plants, all of this was related to Lu Lingxi. In Xue Yongtong's heart, Lu Lingxi was simply his lucky star. He only hoped that Lu Lingxi would have smooth sailing in the new year, that the cooperation between Micro Gardening and Lvxuan Gardening would be further deepened, and that Lu Lingxi could cultivate more new plant varieties.
The joke between the two made Lu Lingxi laugh awkwardly. He curled his eyes and said nothing. Gao Yongliang thought of Yan Yue and asked, "When will Yan Yue come back?"
Lu Lingxi: "Brother Yan said the fourth day of the New Year, but he must be very busy over there, so he may not be able to come back on the fourth day of the New Year."
Gao Yongliang and Xue Yongtong were both confused about Yan Yue's origins. After hearing Lu Lingxi's vague expression, neither of them asked in detail. If Yan Yue wanted to say it, he would have said it long ago. If he didn't say it, it was probably because it was inconvenient to say it.
The three chatted for a while, and Xue Yongtong called Gao Yongliang to leave. They had originally wanted to invite Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue to have a meal while delivering New Year's goods, but now Yan Yue was not there, so the meal could only be moved to after the New Year. Before leaving, Xue Yongtong told Lu Lingxi to close the store early, as he was alone now, and to be careful when going home at night.
Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.
After seeing off Xue Yongtong and Gao Yongliang, Wang Chaoliang came over with a bunch of New Year's goods as if they had been arranged. Unlike Xue Yongtong and the others, Wang Chaoliang brought New Year's goods that were all made by Grandma Wang herself, including braised chicken legs, yellow rice cakes made by Grandma Wang, and some miscellaneous fried snacks.
Wang Chaoliang looked at Lu Lingxi and smiled: "Uncle Wang is really benefiting from you, Xiaoxi."
Seeing that Lu Lingxi didn't understand, Wang Chaoliang laughed and pointed at the pile of things on the table, "Don't look at your grandmother Wang's age. The snacks she makes are unique in the community. Uncle Wang looked forward to eating these during the Chinese New Year when he was a child. In recent years, your grandmother Wang thought it was too troublesome and was too lazy to make them. It was only this year that she made them specially for Xiaoxi and Dahei, so Uncle Wang could have a taste of them. Isn't he lucky."
What he said was so interesting that Lu Lingxi started laughing too. After laughing, he asked Grandma Wang if her legs had hurt in the past few days.
"It doesn't hurt. The last time it hurt was because I was caught in the cold. I went to play croquet in the cold weather and stood for half a day. Even young people can't stand it, let alone your grandmother Wang."
Since the last car accident, Grandma Wang's legs and feet are not as agile as before, and she has to be careful when it is windy or rainy. Wang Chaoliang has told Grandma Wang several times, but Grandma Wang can't sit still. Every day she either walks around or calls a group of old men and women in the community to play gateball. Wang Chaoliang had no choice but to buy Grandma Wang several pairs of knee-pad warm pants, fearing that Grandma Wang would catch a cold, but she was still caught by the wind. However, thanks to this leg pain, Grandma Wang no longer dares to take the doctor's words lightly.
Hearing that Grandma Wang was fine, Lu Lingxi felt relieved. Dahei had been squatting quietly beside Lu Lingxi since Wang Chaoliang came in, with his ears erected, as if he was listening attentively.
Wang Chaoliang liked Dahei very much and said to Lu Lingxi with a smile: "Your grandmother Wang said that Dahei knows everything. She asked me to tell Dahei that those braised chicken legs were specially braised for Dahei. I didn't dare to put too much salt. If Dahei doesn't like it, I can change the flavor next time."
The big black ears trembled and he let out a low cry.
Lu Lingxi found it funny, patted Dahei's head, and said seriously: "Dahei is not picky about food, he eats everything, he is much more obedient than Xiaohei."
Wang Chaoliang also knew that Lu Lingxi also raised a snake named Xiaohei, and he burst into laughter when he heard that.
Wang Chaoliang hadn't left yet when Fang Lei came in with a bag in one hand and the "flower of the police force" in the other. Fang Lei was a little surprised to see Wang Chaoliang, "Hey, Xiaoxi has a guest?"
Wang Chaoliang smiled and nodded to Fang Lei. Seeing that Fang Lei also wanted to send New Year's gifts to Xiaoxi, he simply chose to leave. He had no impression of Fang Lei, but Fang Lei still remembered Wang Chaoliang. As soon as Wang Chaoliang left, Fang Lei came to Lu Lingxi. "Is this the family of the victim of Qiu Jun's car accident last time?"
Lu Lingxi was extremely surprised, "Officer Fang, do you still remember?"
Fang Lei stroked Lu Lingxi's hair and said, "What Officer Fang? Call him Brother Fang. Your Brother Fang is in this line of work. I don't remember anything else, but I remember his face very well."
After teasing Lu Lingxi, he teased Dahei and held the "Flower of the Police Force" in his hand in front of Dahei, jokingly saying, "Dahei, you still remember our Lisa, right? Last time, Lisa fought side by side with you, Dahei. This year, our Lisa is one year older. Girls grow up and cannot be kept. Dahei, you can't be irresponsible, right?"
Dahei: “…”
Lu Lingxi almost died of laughter. He thought Fang Lei had forgotten to match Dahei with his girlfriend after the incident with Little Stone, but he didn't expect that he still remembered and did this before the Chinese New Year.
Fang Lei smiled as he spoke, and he touched Lisa's head and said seriously, "Xiaoxi came to you this time because she wants to trouble you with something."
"What?"
"After the New Year, I'd like to borrow Dahei to help out for a few days."
Lu Lingxi immediately perked up, "Is there another case?"
Fang Lei shook his head. "It's not about the case. Do you remember the last time Xiao Shitou got into trouble, a few stray dogs came to help find Xiao Shitou, right?"
Lu Lingxi nodded.
Fang Lei smiled and said, "Those stray dogs have now been adopted by the police. From what I've seen over the past few days, they seem to be in good physical condition and smart, but they just won't listen. We have to use Dahei to subdue them."
Fang Lei had good intentions. He heard that Dahei and Ah Huang were both stray dogs, so he wondered if stray dogs could easily communicate with people. After meeting those dogs last time, he found that they were indeed smart. Not to mention whether they could communicate with people, they executed Dahei's orders very well. He had an idea, and after he finished the case, he took the dogs back to the police force. He fed them well for a few days, and everything satisfied him, but they just wouldn't listen to him. Fang Lei had no choice but to set his sights on Dahei and let him help train them.
Lu Lingxi vaguely guessed Fang Lei's thoughts and wanted to say that it had nothing to do with stray dogs. But it was good that those dogs were adopted by the police. They had food and water, which was much better than being stray dogs outside. I'd better not say anything and wait for Fang Lei to slowly discover it.
He readily agreed, and Dahei obviously had no objection. After Fang Lei finished talking about business, he looked at the New Year goods behind Lu Lingxi. There were various packages, and he knew that they were all gifts from others. Xiaoxi was a popular kid, and even without Dahei, Fang Lei liked Lu Lingxi very much. He piled the New Year goods he brought with him together with the previous ones and asked Lu Lingxi: "Xiaoxi, you can't take all these things back?"
Lu Lingxi nodded. He was also worried and was thinking about calling Yi Hang later and asking Yi Hang to help him.
Fang Lei took the responsibility and said, "Let me take you home. I have nothing to do later."
Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up, and Fang Lei continued with a smile: "Who made me Dahei's father-in-law?"
Lu Lingxi: “…”
