Ye Qiao ignored him and busied himself with Hua Rui and Alex. They were having hot pot tonight. Hua Rui had been abroad for the past few years and was craving the mushrooms from her hometown, so she'd personally gone to the market and picked some for hot pot. Watching them happily busy themselves with their food, Ye Cheng stood there, neither angry nor happy.
A pair of thorny eyes stared at the sloppy-looking stranger!
But Ye Dachengzi still had some self-awareness. It was he who had wronged Hua Rui first, so how could he have the face to chase away her friends!
Seeing them sit down and have fun, he sat down too.
"Brother, where are you from?" Ye Dachengzi opened two bottles of beer, gave one to Alex, and said in a very friendly manner.
Alex took the bottle, clinked it with him, and drank it.
Hua Rui looked at the two men opposite her warily. Ye Qiao smiled and nudged her as she was losing her focus. "Look how nervous you are!"
"Brother, I am from, Hong Kong? Canada? Or the United States? I don't know, wherever I go is my home, I'm just a homeless person!" Alex opened up easily and said while drinking.
tramp?
You look so poor!
Ye Cheng felt much more relieved now!
The breeze was blowing on the terrace, the aroma of hot pot wafted in the air, and two men and two women were drinking wine, eating hot pot, and chatting.
"Huari, I really miss the matsutake mushrooms from your hometown..."
"I miss it, too! I plan to take Mumu back to see my mom during the Lunar New Year," Hua Rui said with a smile. The only thing she missed about her hometown was her mom. As for her heartless father and brother, after finally quitting their drug addiction, Ye Cheng arranged for them to work in a factory in Chuncheng. This was also what Ye Qiao had told her.
Ye Cheng has been caring for his mother in recent years, treating her like his mother-in-law. He would send people to visit her during the holidays, and when he had the chance, he would visit her in person as her son-in-law.
In Ye Qiao's words, Ye Cheng has seen her mother more often than he has seen his biological parents!
The Ye family is well-known for not being able to drink, including the grown man Ye Cheng. After drinking two bottles of beer, his face turned red and he looked like he was about to get drunk. The same was true for Ye Qiao, who was already standing by the balcony railing to watch the night view.
And Huarui is born with a good alcohol tolerance.
Alex can drink a lot too.
"Hualui, do you see that piece of land beside the road? It all belongs to you, Master Qiao, and me!" Ye Qiao said drunkenly, standing on the balcony, gazing at a piece of land not far away, as if he was looking at the empire he had built with his own hands. Huarui walked over, and Alex stood beside Ye Qiao, also gazing at it.
"Mr. Qiao, is this true?!"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Back then, after Brother Xiao gave me all his property, I used it to buy land. It was so cheap back then. What's the price now... and what will the price be in a few years..." Ye Qiao said with a smug smile.
Alex looked at the piece of land that Ye Qiao mentioned and squinted his eyes. "It's a good piece of land! Want to sell it?"
"No, I won't sell it! I'll keep it. After the 2008 Olympics, when housing prices skyrocket, I, Mr. Qiao, will be rich!" Ye Qiao laughed loudly towards the sky. It was a pity that in her previous life, she saw how housing prices skyrocketed while in prison.
Is Mr. Qiao drunk? How could she know that housing prices would skyrocket after the Olympics? They're already so expensive, how much higher can they go?
Huarui was completely confused, and Alex spoke as if a homeless man like him could afford it!
Ye Cheng was really drunk and was helped by Alex to sleep on his side in his room, while Hua Rui's room had been occupied by Ye Qiao!
"Alex! You are not allowed to touch my man!" Hua Rui entered the guest room and saw Alex lying on Ye Cheng, so she said sternly.
