On the other side, Ye Beiping drove to the town and made his way through a winding alley.
Jiang He and Su Xinyi didn't know the way, but Ye Xiaoxin did.
Although I rarely come to town, I've been here quite a few times since I was a child, and this is clearly not the way to Hangzhou.
Instead, it went in the opposite direction, towards another county town.
"Beiping, you've gone to the wrong place," Ye Xiaoxin immediately reminded her.
This startled Jiang He and Su Xinyi. They looked around, completely bewildered.
Ye Beiping said, "I didn't make a mistake. I'm going to pay a New Year's visit to an elder. It will be over soon."
As they spoke, the car arrived at the gate of a Soviet-style garden building.
Two guards were standing in front of the gate.
Everyone immediately frowned and unconsciously watched Ye Beiping get out of the car and greet the guards.
Ye Beiping originally wanted to take out a pack of cigarettes, but realized he didn't seem to have brought any with him in the car. So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to ask, "Is that old man Jin Aiguo here? I've come to wish him a Happy New Year."
Upon hearing this, both guards frowned.
Soon, another guard looked at Ye Beiping for a while before saying, "The commander has gone out and won't be back for the next few days."
"Okay..." Ye Beiping could only smile awkwardly at the two of them before turning around and getting back into the car.
Ye Beiping was skeptical of the guard's words.
Little did anyone know that Jin Aiguo was annoyed by the people coming to pay their respects for the New Year, and specifically instructed his guards to say so.
They really did go out; after all, their son is a leader in Hangzhou, so it's normal for them to go there for the Spring Festival reunion.
Ye Beiping started the car, preparing to reverse and turn around.
Ye Xiaoxin, sitting in the back seat, immediately asked, "Beiping, how come I didn't know you knew people in town? There's even someone standing at the door, could it be some high-ranking leader?"
The other two also looked at Ye Beiping with curiosity.
Ye Beiping gripped the steering wheel, glanced at Ye Xiaoxin out of the corner of his eye, and chuckled, "Sis, have you forgotten the old man who came to my and Xinyi's wedding?"
With this reminder, Su Xinyi and Ye Xiaoxin immediately realized what was going on.
I never expected that the place Ye Beiping just went to was that leader's house.
But... how could a high-ranking official only live in a town?
They stopped thinking about it because they couldn't figure it out. Knowing who it was was enough for them. They didn't go in to visit. Ye Xiaoxin, on the other hand, was very curious about what it was like inside.
As for the river, it was even more carefree and had no interest in inquiring about those nonsensical riddles; the scenery along the roadside, however, was quite nice.
Everything was snow-white, and you could see children having snowball fights every now and then.
Jiang He was so excited that he wanted to go down and have a snowball fight.
...
More than five hours later.
Ye Beiping parked his car in front of his own house in Hangzhou.
Seeing that Su Xinyi's expression was slightly unpleasant in the back seat, he immediately went to open the door for her, helped her out of the car, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
To avoid worrying everyone, Su Xinyi slowly shook her head.
"It's okay, I'll be fine after a rest."
She glanced at the sky, pursed her lips, and said, "I'm going to lie down for an hour. Don't forget to wake me up when we go to my parents' house later."
It seemed as if they were afraid Ye Beiping would go alone without her.
This made Ye Beiping laugh: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me. From now on, I will tie you to my belt every day and take you with me wherever I go."
Suddenly hearing this remark made Su Xinyi blush bright red. She had a feeling that Ye Beiping was implying something, but she had no proof.
However, it was just this one funny remark that made her feel much better.
Ye Xiaoxin and Jiang He, who were carrying things nearby, stared blankly at the backs of the two people. They had heard what they had just said. It was really... flirting without even trying to hide it from people.
After settling Su Xinyi into her room to rest, Ye Beiping came out and said to Ye Xiaoxin, "Sister, I'm going to Xinyi's house to wish her a Happy New Year later. Why don't you come along?"
"Me?" Ye Xiaoxin put down what she was holding, pointed to herself, and frowned, "You're going to your father-in-law's house, what would I be doing there?"
Ye Beiping was speechless. His sister was good in every way, except that she sometimes lacked social skills.
Oh well, he's not that old after all, only three or four years older than me, what does he know about social etiquette?
"The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions." Ye Beiping didn't know why he suddenly started quoting the famous Northeast King's wise saying. He explained helplessly, "Since Mom isn't here, as a member of our family, shouldn't you go and pay her a visit? After all, she's an elder."
"Okay, okay."
Ye Xiaoxin was stunned. She never expected to be lectured by her own younger brother one day. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Stop, I'll go, okay?"
After Ye Beiping reminded her, she realized what was happening.
But having such a set of words is just unpleasant.
As soon as Jiang He entered, he glanced at Ye Beiping and Ye Xiaoxin, pursed his lips, and felt his resentment towards his older brother intensify.
My older brother is really something. When Ye Beiping came to Hangzhou, he always made him come along for some reason.
Now that's bad. Ye Beiping is going to his father-in-law's house, and he'll probably just have to stay home and eat noodles.
Thinking about this, Jiang He was filled with displeasure.
Ye Beiping noticed Jiang He's displeasure and smiled slightly: "Jiang He, why don't you come have dinner with us tonight?"
"Huh?" Jiang He had a lot on his mind, but when he realized that Ye Beiping was inviting him to dinner, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, I won a lot of money today, eating out is fine."
